What I meant was, for the less skilled player, boosting health and stamina is much more effective than boosting dps stats, since combat skill is primarily focused on defense. You can pump your dps stats to max if you want, and it won't help you at all if you can't stay alive. Boosting health...

My opinion differs from yours, so that means I'm the idiot? Good to know. I'll never understand why people bother posting on a forum if all they want is to talk to people who agree with everything they say. Oh, no, I can't think of anything else to say, I guess I'll just call him an idiot. So...

Don't really understand the obsession with the term "levels." Outleveled? The only stats that really matter are stamina and hp and health is just a buffer for your actual skill level, the lower your skill the more health you need. And with the new hollow mechanic (losing % of max hp, to the max...

I've killed plenty of enemies more than 15 times. Whether farming for souls or items, or just practicing combat moves, or trying different weapons. Hell, I'm doing a playthrough now with big/slow weapons only (because I hate them, but want to improve my skills with them) and I've killed the...

Those one kill enemies in DS1 were like 1-2 per area. This sounds like quite a bit more, otherwise, why mention it? Also, all black knight kills were optional, and on side paths. What you're proposing is pretty much the opposite of what they've stated. In your scenario it would be like they were...

So, I've been thinking about this new mechanic that removes tougher enemies after you've killed them 15 times and I really don't like it. It's supposedly to prevent soul farming (which I don't agree with, farming for souls/items should be a player choice) but, I don't buy it. I think it's just a...

Yeah, it's a really short shot, like 3 seconds, and easy to miss. Boyd is talking to Johnny, and the camera cuts to Daryl who turns his head to look at Danny. Danny looks back at him and Daryl gives a very slight lift of his head, then turns back to face the other dudes. As he does this, you can...

If you re-watch that scene you'll notice that Daryl signals Danny and then shifts his feet, getting ready to open fire.

Eh, learning to play the game trivialized it. I didn't even start parrying til I was nearly done with my first playthrough, and hardly backstabbed til my second. I was having trouble with it because I didn't know you had to stop moving first. Not to mention that neither even works on a lot of...

Removing a lot of i-frames, tying speed of dodging/blocking/parrying to a stat, things like that. Go watch youtube vids of the network test. You see a lot of people with plenty of DS1 experience getting slaughtered repeatedly. I mean, they have to do it, but how do you keep doing it without...

Yeah, it's one of several controversial changes. Backtracking is now unnecessary, but even if it was, the whole hard-enemies-only-respawn-a-limited-number-of-times crap makes it less of an issue anyway.

Yes, from what people have said, you get the warp ability from the start. I think you have to activate each bonfire first. I don't recall exactly.

Karl Urban would be the only reason for them to even attempt a second season. The writing is just so lame. Omagerd, she's blind! What a twist! Fucking genius! Ugh. Felt like I was watching an after school special.

I find it interesting that the only way the devs can provide challenge for players who have mastered the previous game is by tweaking combat mechanics in ways that attempt to somewhat negate your acquired skill, which at the same time raises the bar of entry for new players quite a bit. Kinda...

Those archers can be easily cheezed with a bow and some poison arrows. You can arc your arrows to hit them while being out of their range. Takes 2 or 3 shots each, then you get to go make a snack. There's a lot of fights that a bow will trivialize, especially with a bow of pharis and the hawk ring.

Makes you wonder if they have any idea how many times these shots are going to be used on the internet for years to come. Such a perfect gif.

Well, it does. It's pretty much exactly the same game with slightly updated graphics. As far as combat, pretty much the same except parrying is slightly harder and the backstab animation is now retarded. Supposedly enemy AI is slightly improved, but I wouldn't expect too much from that.

Lock on. Hold shield up. Circle. Get behind him. Lower shield. Attack. Do massive damage. Repeat. Or this: Dark Souls - Experts Guide to Parrying - YouTube

The black knight? They can be a bit rough when you first start out. Just block their attacks, watch your stamina, and go for the backstab. Or since there's a bonfire right there, use it as an opportunity to practice your parry/riposte.

Red or white?

Don't you mean snapping as a "human"? Seriously, is there any one of you who wouldn't react pretty much the same? You've got a gun on you (for whatever reason), you're in a guy's house and you find two children chained up and one of them is dead. Wouldn't your first instinct be to end that...

Woody is absolutely not carrying this show. Is he a good actor? Sure. I've been a fan since NBK, he's done some fine work. Can he emote? Yeah, it's called "acting." What Matt does is much harder. He is conveying his character with the set of his face, the look in his eyes, and the rhythm and...

For elemental damage, it's helpful against mobs/bosses that are weak to that element, especially when your stats are low or you don't have access to the higher embers yet. For the others, they are primarily for people who are using a high int or faith build, since they switch the stats that your...

Is there an echo in here? lolz

While I don't agree with the theory that Hart is the bad guy, to add to your "evidence" of said theory is the fact that Hart refused to leave Rust alone at the meth lab and go call for backup.

Bacon, Purefoy and the young fed guy are good. It's the followers and their stupid, weird drama that drags the show down, IMO.

It's not so much that Bo is a bad character, it's that Anna Silk is a terrible actress. It's everyone else who carries the show, mostly Kenzi, which is why it gets really weak when she's not in a scene. I've often wondered what the show would have been like with a decent actress playing Bo.

The only reason to watch this show is to see Bacon shooting motherfuckers. I get really annoyed how in most movies cop/fed will say "don't move or I'll shoot" and they don't follow through (Key & Peele actually did a skit on this). Ryan Hardy doesn't do this, if you move, you die.

Damn, man. Just got around to watching this episode, and catching up on the thread and pretty much every fucking thought I had has already been posted. Literally word for word. Fuckers. I guess all that's left to say is I thought the audio work was pretty outstanding and really helped pull you...

Wrong. Try again.

Thank you for your input.

Give me one single example of an mmo that failed or succeeded due to "marketing", genius.

If you can't refute my arguments, just admit it. No need for your retarded veiled insults. The only reason you're confused is because you think you know what the fuck you're talking about. Newsflash- you don't.

Lol. Like any of that matters. MMO's don't succeed or fail based on their marketing. If the game is good it will get the best advertisement/marketing there is. Word of mouth. Or, more accurately these days, word of keyboard. And I can pretty much guarantee they aren't just going to focus their...

1. It's possible, yes. Doubt it will happen anytime soon. It's especially hard for publishers to gauge because of our history of pvp mmos. So many failures, and no real successes. They don't have a "WoW" to look at and say, "look, that's how it should be done, let's clone it a dozen times."...

There is nothing fundamentally different between 100 vs 10 and 60 vs 40. You didn't want a fair fight, you wanted to win, with little to no risk. "we would bring enough to win." "Your "human nature" argument is incorrect. People want to play a game and want challenge, especially PvPers,"...

The point is, while there are a few exceptions, most people want reward with little or no risk. It's simple human nature. The only reason why itappearsthat this kind of behavior has lessened since the UO days is that most games include things in their design to prevent it as much as they can...

I think you're getting a little too lost in your whole wolves/sheep analogy. You can't compare MOBA's to mmo pvp either, they are completely different. Sure, the vast majority of mmo pvpers are wolves, not because they "live by fighting", but because they prey on the weak/defenseless (sheep)...

Looks like fun. Although, I get the feeling that the original design was just set in a generic fantasy world, since the wraith abilities are pretty integral to the game and have zero to do with Tolkien lore.

Wrong thread.
