You would definitely need a controller, for sure. While you’re right that there is a lot of condescension from souls players, I think you might be a bit too sensitive to it. I mean, looking to other games that give you an easy mode where you can take ridiculous amounts of damage, or even Mario on 3ds where you get an…

I feel like those are all features, not bugs. As the author of the article said, a minimap would ruin dark souls. The game is about paying attention, which you couldn’t really do with your eyes glued to a mini map. There is a tutorial of sorts, but it’s only the basics and when it’s done you are definitely on your…

For me it’s the opposite. I can’t stand Shaun of the dead, At World’s End is meh, but Hot Fuzz is a goddamn masterpiece. I don’t know why the Wright/Pegg/Frost combo doesn’t do anything for me in their other movies but they sure got it right in one at least.

You should try one, if nothing else to see what all the fuss is about. It’s not for everyone, but don’t let the “It’s so hard!” fool you. It is hard... at first. But if you stick with it you’ll eventually find it fairly easy. Hell, some people have even beaten the game in under an hour. I’ve beaten it at level 1 (not…

This is an interesting opinion. I have thousands of hours in both DS1 and DS2, and while you’re right that DS2 is technically superior in every way, the level design in DS1 is so much better. For one, it does feel more like an actual world as opposed to a series of levels, but more importantly for me is the scarcity…

While I agree on the arrows, everything else you mentioned is a deliberate design choice. I like the lack of checkpoints (and unfortunately, the abundance of them in DS2 made the game much less enjoyable).

There are some people who simply don’t enjoy Souls games. No explanation is really necessary, you don’t lose “gamer cred” or anything. I personally love the shit out of all the Souls games, but I totally understand why some people don’t.

So the fact that you’re playing two console games decades later means consoles are dead? That’s ummmm.... interesting logic.

I should hope so. We’ll see if his plan consists of more than “Me wear suit. Suit strong. “ But take Nolan’s films for a moment. When did “the world’s greatest detective” actually examine a crime scene? That’s what I want batman to be, not broodfest.

Let’s forget about that crappy leaked version, okay?

It’s about the ethics in gaming journalism.

Saving Private Ryan definitely should have won, but uh.... it is also a period drama, so you can't really blame that.

*slowly raises hand*

You just have to appreciate it as a love story between two children who have mental disabilities.

Kicked out of Arby’s? Where are these high end Arby’s you go to?

Black pinstripe button-ups are your friend. Black + vertical lines = 10 lbs lighter.

While he’s really just the fucking worst, you should power through because the game basically forgets about him 5ish hours in and the adults all just talk about serious adult business while he’s off huffing glue with Penelo in the background.

No, you can’t. :p

Any attraction you might feel towards him will disappear the moment he opens his mouth.

That is a shame. I mean his outfit is atrocious and his personality is a bit annoying but damn if FFX doesn’t have by far the best battle system of the series.
