I had a remarkably similar experience. I never Hated the game, I just didn't get the point at first. It wasn't until I picked it up again and played more cautiously, assessing my risk reward when I have earned a sizable amount of souls...but maybe that next bonfire is just around the bend, learning the tells of each…

The losing souls is like an Old School MMO, you died and you left behind a corpse. You lost Experience Points, you had to get to your corpse in a certain amount of time or lose All your equipment, items, money...everything.

There’s a lot of things like that, mostly TV or Movies I watched and hated it or loved it right away...until I really thought about it. And my opinion would change a bit here and there until that movie I loved I realize isn’t good at all or that show I thought was boring was incredibly deep once I gave it a chance to…

If praise is to be given, I think trying to be a decent human being is one of them. Not enough people try anymore.

Ok sure, whatever makes you happy.

So now on top of strawman you’re using my Likes as a means to disprove me. If you want to bring up logical fallacies you’re hitting all the big ones. Also, where in any of my posts have I mentioned Winning? I haven’t won anything in this, but hey good of you to try an label me Again and fail.

So you’re only rebuttle is calling it nonsense, tagging Jason Smith and proclaiming yourself Papa Smurf? Still a strawman defense, taking it to an extreme and only choosing One of Points I made to argue against without actually backing up your position.

I could never get behind the theory that X was the same world as VII. And yeah it COULD mean that, but I don’t want to see it happen because that means it’s long and drawn out and painful which is just not a good story ending in my opinion.

Those other people are insane. There was only ever one matrix which worked well as a stand alone movie. I reject any reality where they could possibly have made sequels to it!

I would disagree, to say everyone is a very broad statement. Unless you have Met Everyone, it’s impossible to make that all inclusive statement.

The Shall I give you Dispair is the line they replaced the Beg for forgiveness line. I think the on your knees is more impactful. Or what about his line "Would you give me the pleasure of taking what is most important from you?" Love how that one sounds in Japanese too "Omai no motomo taisetsu mono, uvou yorokobi…

That's being kind if you're talking about the Plot and Character development(Psst, there is none...it's all character Regression, which is bad story telling).

I also like Sephiroths line “Hizamazuki Yurushiko Sugata te misetegre”(Probably butchered the Romanji lol) But in English is “Let me see you beg for forgiveness on your knees”. Really just captures the arrogance of Sephiroth right there.

No, don’t think it’s bias at all. Cloud progressed heavily in VII and actually became quite the likable character at the end. He went through self discovery, came to terms with his losses and what were ultimately moments he was powerless in life, he made close friends that stood with him and gave him the strength he…

There is only one matrix movie, lets be honest there.

That thing scared the bejesus out of me. "Oh whats this, a wimpy little knife weilder, this'll be eas...Oh My God!"

Here’s the kicker, they didn’t Have to create a situation where would Regress. This is story telling, forward momentum and progression are what makes stories interesting. By having him Regress, that tells me they had NO Idea how to progress him or stay true to the Cloud at the end of VII, so they created a means to…

Common and Realistic is quite honestly the last thing I want in a movie with Fantasy in the title though :)

So he’s a hypocrite lol. I’ve never been receptive to preaching, it actually has the opposite desired affect of trying to convert me and makes me less receptive. Basic logic, tell someone Not to do something and they Want to do it, tell someone To do something and they Don’t Want to.

I'm with you there. I always try to play something totally unlike me, since Gaming is an escape from reality for me and I want to get as FAR from that as possible sometimes.
