Thanks for the inputs. I better skip this one.

fuck this thanatophobia trophy in rogue legacy. kind of thought it would be easy after beating ng+ and all the remix bosses but w/o using obnoxious grinding exploits and extra save states it's really fuckin' tough to beat the game in 15 lives. generally speaking tho the game is way easier than it was the first time.

You listen to a little input about Bloodborne but you ignore waves of criticism about The Order 1886 which you are still going to buy?

Wait, wat? You must be insane to even consider buying The (dis)Order: 1886!

 

Unless, you know, it was free on PSN+ one day - even then I would probably pass...

The issues I have with Bloodborne have nothing to do with the issues some people have with The Order. The Order is a simple "generic" shooter with amazing visuals that I'm holding back on because its short singleplayer isn't worth the full price. Bloodborne is a game that requires more time and dedication than I'm willing to spend and therefore I won't waste my money on it. You know that, so I'm not sure why you're pretending to be confused.

I'm really hoping I can enjoy Bloodborne, but I sucked so bad at the Souls games that it just wasn't fun. I'm hoping for a different feeling. I haven't even opened the game yet because I'm thinking I may need to return it and get my money back because I won't be able to do anything with it. Money is tight these days.

Yeah it's getting neat reviews from both reviewers and players but I don't know. I hated every second of Dark Souls and this looks eerily familiar. Don't have a whole lot of money (and time outside of the weekends) for games these days either, so it's a lot of money to throw away on something I maybe won't be able to enjoy. Don't know why they don't just throw a dirty casual mode in there already. Wouldn't hurt anyone.

 

 

Haven't played it yet, but for me the appeal it IS like the Souls games, but with some variations that make it sound refreshing and interesting. Honestly, if you didn't like any prior Souls games, I would try before you buy on Bloodborne.

 

 

Damn it. I can't even get past the first area. If I don't make any progress soon, I'm going to stop buying From's games.

 

It's a shame. I liked both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls despite their difficulty. I stopped playing them both because I was "afraid" to lose large amounts of souls and not be able to get back to the spot. It got to be too much. The penalty for death was too high. DS2 was just ridiculous with its death penalties that I didn't spend much time on it at all.

I thought DS 2 was way more generous, but then I found it pretty easy compared to the first two games.

 

It's a shame you're not enjoying it, the Souls series have always been rewarding regardless of deaths.

I just hated the fact that in addition to losing your souls and humanity, your defense and HP were halved every time you died in DS2. That made it almost impossible for me to get past the parts I found difficult. Yes, it was easier to begin with, but it started to really hurt after a while. I just couldn't do it. I got pretty far in DS1 but was just too frustrated after losing a ton of souls due to a death that I didn't know how to avoid and a recovery that was impossible. I just felt fed up with them both.

From playing Demon Souls and Dark Souls (not played DS2, not really inclined to) I always found the game rewarding for your perseverance of the deaths. Patience definitely is one of the main skilsets you need for getting through the game

Played a bit of Bloodborne last night with my son; so far, pretty damn amazing - visuals are intricate, framerate tries valiantly to keep at 60 but did notice a few dips here and there. Overall, I like the change in gameplay - the combat encourages more aggressive gameplay, and the life reclamation gimmick is interesting.

 

Enemies are interesting and varied as always, and dem crows! LOVE the crows! So creepy.

never played a "souls" game. think i'll wait 'til they're rereleased on ps4

April 9th!

Bought killer is Dead in the steam sale, despite knowing that it may or may not work on my PC, and that it's not the best of Suda 51. Still...Suda 51!

This game is awesome, mostly for the visuals and badshit insane plot. The side game where you perv at girls whilst talking to them is lol too.

If you're getting anywhere near 60 fps then you need to tell me where you got your magic ps4 haha. The game is capped at 30 but seems to dip to around 24 an awful lot.

 

Anyhow, have you beaten any bosses yet? I'm 3 hours in and haven't yet, but I'm REALLY taking my time since I heard this game is much shorter than the previous games. Lots of deaths but I'm loving it so far.

I fucking loved Killer is Dead. I liked it so much that I bought it twice, first on PS3 and then on X360. I had a great time with that game. Suda's games are always worth playing. I like No More Heroes more than KID but since we're not getting another one of those for quite some time (if ever), KID is the next best thing. I was not disappointed.

Yeah man, looking forward to playing it! In the meantime, I'm playing South Park still, despite the...issues.

 

 

Actually this is the first issue I've seen like this, but I've found if I pause/alt+tab out of the game during a cut scene, it fucks up until I reload. Whoops!

Is it capped at 30? I guess the "soap opera effect" on my 70" Sharp is making it smoother than it actually is... so those dips I'm seeing is actually it going into the 20's like you are seeing...

 

I haven't gotten to the first boss yet (I suspect my son by this time has since he didn't work today) - the giant rats in the sewer were fun, but the really tall skinny guy with the spear rekt my shit more than once... and the ogre with the hatchet! Haven't managed to kill him yet.

 

Based on what I see in the Hunter's Dream, you might be right - it looks like there is (at least initially) only 5 areas... but like you, we take our time exploring. That's half the fun!

pillars of eternity is going to be release today. i know what i'm playing for the next few weeks.

If you're headed down in the sewers you've gone past the first boss, you're technically headed towards the 2nd... and yeah those tall skinny dudes in the sewers are real cunts, making my way through there.

 

 

Loving this game so far, the dark Victorian/Gothic atmosphere is incredible. It took me quite a few hours to get used to the new faster combat and abandon some of my old DS tactics that are irrelevant now or will get you killed (L1 is transform weapon NOT block., L1 is transform weapon NOT block... you CANT block!!! )

 

 

 

I might be wrong about the game being capped at 30 fps. I was in a narrow tunnel last night it actually looked like it was hitting ~45
