Holy shit. Still haven't beaten the game completely but tomorrow I am starting over with this mod. Finally the lighting mechanic should work!

I maintain my stance that you are just being too sensitive about this, I think you were raised wrong, and that is why every time you see something happen, you immediately jump to the worst possible event happening, even if it is not related (bear in mind that you brought up children having sex). I don't know why…

However, showing a teen rated game to a 3 years old does not compare in anyway with adults having sex with children.

Again you resort to extremes. They will not work. The idea of the Souls games is that the player interprets them any way they want. A kid may not understand a Souls game (especially the much lightter DS2) the same way an adult would but, because it is not reality, it is art instead, there is no "correct" way to…

Exactly. You're oversensitive. Then you're going in a hypothetical - what if someone tries to emulate it. This should be of no concern to anyone posting anything on any public forum. A father posted a video of him playing a game with his little daughter near him and she obviously genuinely enjoys it. You cannot force…

Of course. I wouldn't let my future 3 years old watch me play a game like Bulletstorm or Painkiller, or anything gruesome like that, where it is gruesome for the sake of being gruesome. But Dark Souls 2 is quite the light game. Sure there is violence, but there is no dismemberment, there is almost no gore. Enemies…

Dark Souls 2 is not a particularly scary game, especially if you have anyone to guide you through it. I think you are viewing the game through the skewed lenses of the Souls series fame, but DS2 is very different from the previous games. There is no pitch black for example.

I'd beg to differ. I grew up with Brothers Grimm stories, the original ones, and now I find them rather gruesome, but back then it didn't feel like that. And of course when I have a kid, I'll read Brothers Grimm stories to him or her, and I'll let it play games like Dark Souls 2. It's all fine.

Well, Myazaki is working on something. I doubt he's just sitting there in FromSoftware's offices drinking coffees. He IS WORKING on something, and it is my hope that they have him creating the next Souls world, or something similar. I would really rather have him working on new things. He told the stories he wanted in…

I haven't beaten Dark Souls 2 yet, but some 20-odd hours in, I find it to be a great sequel. By that I mean that I like that it is different game from Dark Souls. It is so different, that it even gives different kind of experience - it is still a world to explore, even if the levels are not as complex, and enemy…

It's sad that a person like Amir from Jake & Amir can exist.

It's just you, although I would love an AC set in Ancient Egypt.

If you don't have interest in watching it, how can it be explained to you that it is an awesome movie and that is why people talk about it so much? Why do you even ask the question if your mind is already made up anyway? It is the best animated musical since forever.

Being an illustrator and a pixel artist, I'll say this - whoever made this game is quite talented. The animations are of relatively high quality, and the pixel art itself is quite good. The mushroom that is bobbing back and forth - that is good pixel artist right there. Then you have him programming it and writing it…

I am not the only person who feels like it is completely fair to pirate a game if it is impossible to buy because nobody is selling it still or it just is not available in your region?

I kind of sincerely miss mass murder games like Carmageddon. When people feel nostalgic about the games of old, that is what they're feeling nostalgic about - fun games that existed for fun's sake. They're nostalgic for the days when gaming was not politicized. Those were the days. The closest I've gotten to feeling…

The first and last point aside... players will get banned for playing the game in specific ways, that do not involve glitching the game? That is unacceptable. Nintendo used to design good games, now what... they'll just ban players because their games are badly designed?

It doesn't have these shadows. The earlier article linking to another video about how awesome the PC port is showed that the shadows are the same as in the PS3 version.

The Souls games have always had lower quality graphics compared to other games. They also have smaller budgets, and are aiming at selling less copies than other games. This enables them to make an actually good game because they don't have to sacrifice quality to please unreasonable amount of people.

I saw the 1.03 announcement today on the DS fb page.
