Dark Souls II hype

[Elder]

killing floor comes to mind. Solid gameplay and mechanics, with set zed AI that you need to learn to get better at the game. With proper planning and teamwork that game is easy to manageable. Without the game is punishing.

I've watched the opening and basically the tutorial part of DS2 and i dont plan to see much beyond before playing it myself. I want to beat that game by myself with no summoned help my first playthrough. After that its free game to do whatever the fuck i want. Also death counter at the first village you encounter. Awesome.

i guess it really isn't, because succeeding didn't bring any satisfaction, just "ugh that fucking slog is over"

i don't know what i'm doing or where i'm going, i keep dying, my character is slow and weak and controls like shit

it feels like it takes the worst elements of old nes games, the ones needed to increase game length when games had much stricter limitations in terms of hardware and/or the developers of that time just didn't know any better, and sticks it into an otherwise generic ~grimdark~ ARPG, and somehow this is now some revered game

It’s definitely one of those “gamer looking down their nose” sort of games, but getting someone to explain what’s so great about Dark Souls is really difficult. I kept trying to get people to explain it to me, and everybody failed.

MG: How did people try to explain it?

DT: The one that sticks out for me is when people would say it had no story or that what story it did have didn’t make sense, like that’s a good thing. I’ve always been a fan of RPG with engaging narratives. But these people would say, “Yeah, it makes no sense, and there’s no story, and you die all the time, and people invade your game. It’s amazing.” And I’d think to myself, “That sounds like the worst game in history.

this is me

I'm not gonna nitpick your problems with the gameplay, but saying Dark Souls doesn't have a story is just plain wrong.  You have to work to figure it out, just like the gameplay itself.  Picking up snatches of lore from the various characters and items I come across is a big chunk of the fun, IMO.

Also, equipping heavy armor makes you go slow, light armor is pretty fun to play.

Or getting the backflip right and backflipping everywhere

[zaneyard]

you mean the darkwood grain ring?

So I just figured out that I walked right by this game's Cling Ring equivalent in an early zone, which would have made life while hollowed a lot easier.  Derp.

So how much of a must buy is this? Can I wait for a sale? I'm pretty damned broke right now.

Best deal so far I think? 10 dollar cash back with GMG or 12 dollars of credit.

I played Dark Souls some years late when it was on sale for like $7.50. If you don't care about the multiplayer parts (I don't) then pick it up for a song.

i would simply wait to buy to let the initial wave of dark souls trolls play themselves out and quit the game, so i can then enjoy a higher form of trolling from the truely dedicated as what i come to expect from rummy

DaS2 is better than DaS and Demon Souls in almost every way.  And the multiplayer is great, much more involved than before.  You still might be better off waiting for the PC version.

the people who stick around don't get trolled that easily

I finally got around to playing Dark Souls. I don't find the game unfairly difficult, but I find myself getting tired and bored quicker than I should simply because of the focus needed to defeat even weak enemies and then having to go grind through it again.

I love the game but I can't beat the first boss yet. I'm thinking of grinding some souls and leveling up a bit more. Or I can just get better.
