As I posted that I did wonder if doing the opposite was more appropriate. But then I think there's no point playing with a new player and just following them around like a sheep. Two new players playing together would be ideal I suppose so maybe just avoid them and leave their game?

That's actually quite a good point. On my recent playthroughs I have tried to help people as much as possible. Didn't realise that they might not have wanted that help and were just playing for the experience. I guess that's where the cloaks come into it though. I think there's 3 or 4 different designs based on…

It's a tricky one. I played it by myself (no wifi, no choice) at first and I do agree that finding out about the game yourself is a very important experience. But it's worth noting that it wasn't till my third playthrough when I played with someone else that I truly felt I had experienced the game the way it was meant…

I've always been a huge fan of both Command and Conquer and Age of Empires. AoE maybe pips it slightly because of the whole technology advancement and civilisation aspect to it. It's got more depth basically.

C&C Generals? No?

Yeah it's frustrating as hell and utterly bewildering. In Europe we don't even have the first one on PSN so count yourself lucky you've got it!

Blame Konami, not Sony. But yeah, get it sorted! I played it recently on an emulator but god damn it I want it on PSN.

But it wasn't made by Ghibli. So deal with it.

Really surprised the author liked that guy as a villain. I remember thinking at the time and saying to my mates how awful a generic anime bad guy he was. He's just so laughably evil. Like they need to make a bad guy and they just go over the top with it. "Let's make him rapey as fuck! Give him a maniacal evil laugh…

Not played any in the list but a recently played board game that I really really liked was Lords of Waterdeep. It has a slight Dominion feel to it.

I would love some sort of crossover with House Martell's emblem.

Written by someone who prior to watching the movie did not really like Minecraft. Hmm...

My god yes. It's so obvious.

She sells transient curses which you need to fight the ghosts in New Londo Ruins. I think you can pick a few up in there but I had to stock up a lot.

I think there are actually one or two which go quite quickly when they perhaps could have built up tension instead. Like the latest arc with Laxus fighting Raven Tail for example. But overall I'm happy that it's not dragged out over 3-5 episodes with too much talking in between.

Exact same one as me! Remember where you rang the first bell? On top of the church with the gargoyles. Go back there and there's a creepy NPC guy who can lift curses. It's VERY expensive though. You go to him if you've betrayed a covenant as well.

Yeah those arrows were more like lances!

Exactly. I had to use my shield two handed and hope that the skeleton knocked himself off the ledge by accident. Which he did. I got lucky.

Basically what you're saying is "play the perfect game and it's not hard".

I recently watched through all of Fairy Tail and while at the start I hated it for copying One Piece and even Naruto, I started to admire it a lot for the simple fact that they don't drag out the story arcs and fights. I really wish One Piece took a leaf out of their book in regards to that.
