So I spent my whole (console) Demon's Souls and Dark Souls career playing melee. I recently bought DS2 and expansions to try it out on PC and, smartly, decided to try a Faith/Hex build organized around Lightning Spear...to do something totally different. For a long time it was a fun change of...

Playing Diablo in my studio apartment all night as often as I wanted after graduating and living alone for the first time. Had a super cushy IT job that paid well and demanded little, so going to work exhausted but happy was never a problem. A central part of one of the best times in my life.

Damn I wish this game was out for my iPad. That would be awesome. Still, looks like a must-buy from my point of view.

Curious whether or not you guys think holding D Rose out of play means anything substantial about his knees. If it is soreness, could be a bad sign; but then again tune-up games and scrimmages can never match the intensity of real games, so maybe they are just being cautious (especially with the...

Curious on whether this is worth playing. All I've really heard about the game is that it was over-hyped, repetitive, with shitty driving. Is there anything to redeem it? Was so pumped about this game before it was released but the negative vibe since then made me stay away.

God fucking damn it. All the fucking icons in my Tray are some gay blue or white or green. Now I can barely see Steam! F.

That enclosed lion helmet made me drool. Looks wicked. Oh god please don't be too buggy.

I agree that the UI and inventory system is pretty archaic. I hate it how the bargaining resets if you want to switch characters and I DESPISE how gold isn't shared. Sometimes you have to back out of trades to organize items to sell to get enough gold etc. Its just pretty annoying. With...

Well that was weird. I completely owned Evelyn. All I did was make it rain and cast more shock spells. My charm didn't even work but it turned out not to matter. Cool beans.

Thanks a lot for the advice and implicit encouragement in this thread. It looks like I'm roughly the right level but I have not done the Speaking Statues quest yet. I'll back out and do that before fighting Evelyn. The rain + blitz bolt + charm strat is what I'll focus on. Thanks guys!

So with your logic Jones is the white guy? Err, yeah - great argument. No one is saying talking shit is going to win Jones the fight. It can, however,helphim win the fight. It may or may not matter, but its a good factor to have in your favor before the fight starts. As I also remarked, I...

I don't believe this is fake at all. I think JJ is trying to get in DC's head and doing a pretty good job of it. You can tell DC is flustered by the fakery and doesn't really know what to make of it. You're a fool if you think these fights start in the Octagon. Any mental or physical advantage...

What level are you guys when you fight Evelyn? I am getting absolutely fucked in that fight. Like, destroyed. I'm using 2 casters, 1 melee, 1 ranged - either level 5 or 6. If the level difference is negligible, what did you guys do to get decent gear? The shops I've visited have very little of...

I was positive this was faked when I first heard of it, but sure doesn't seem so from the footage. Jones definitely was throwing. I also thought one of the security punched DC on the ground. Don't know what that was about.

Oh man. That was Silva all over again. Horrific.

Got an alpha invite. Pretty happy although, TBH, what I saw of actual gameplay looked a bit boring. Looking forward to going deeper.

The game is going to open huge but I think that there is a real danger of the community drying up quickly outside of competitive PvP. Restricting how people play your game is very often retarded; and telling people that they NEED to have 6 identifiable friends online and coordinated in order to...

Videogame industry. Before that semiconductor. Also spent time in Digital Media. The semicon was where I adopted the practice. Paul's Boutique is 25 years old. Ouch. Remember cruising around with my cousin drinking and smoking listening to this over-and-over in highschool.

There is a pretty cool feature they are building - I forget the exact name - but it is basically a timeline editor that allows you to review and select major decisions from past series, giving you an opportunity to see more about past events and setting up your game world in a particular way...

I personally wanted everyone in that waterslide video to die an unholy, watery death. So intense was my need for those people to die, that I'm even going to post this comment in a thread that should only involve some kind of video content.

Phoning me at work is the best way to let me know what your call is unimportant and I shouldn't waste my time answering. Need me? IM. Low priority or follow up? Email. Want to talk? Put a conference in my calendar - if the calendar is full, here's a hint - I'm not answering the phone because I'm...

When I was young I was super fit. Played basketball in university, ran, muay thai, I was a machine. I would sometimes literally play basketball all day long with a quick break for lunch and dinner. Sounds good, right? Setting myself up for older age with a healthy lifestyle, right? Wrong. So...

Cool, thanks. As long as there is an alternative I'll initiate "research mode"

Just one question: is this another quest-hub to quest-hub, bear ass collecting, level grind? Or is it genuinely more of an open world experience?

My Ranger was so horrific and useless that I re-started my main game. Rangers suck. Their best starting ability (Richochet) has a retardely long cooldown; they have LOS issues that don't plague spell-casters; their overall damage is incredibly low compared to both melee and casters; and they...

I'm mixing it up this year. Well not literally, but you see what I mean. P.S. I already drank all the other beer.

You guys are all a bunch of bandwagon lying mother fuckers. EVERYONE tries to cut out an avacado tumor that way! I've nearly severed at least 3 of my fingers fumbling with one of those bastards. Stop lying and trying to be cool. You cut that shit out the same way. Y

He's quiting to fulfill his lifelong dream of playing professional baseball.

Get a 100% physical shield and you are basically good to go with whatever armor keeps you below 70% equipment load. Armor is hugely insignificant in DS2. I played once with Havels and the next time with Robes and it made no discernible difference.

I found the game incredibly slow-going early on. I definitely didn't feel like jumping back in from the start when my saves corrupted. The game has promise but they really need to switch always-run to on or increase movement speed. That would help a lot. I think the environmental elements are...

2 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.

As lame as it sounds, I found those distraction skulls really useful for the exploding guys before Sinner. I sucked at fighting them at first too.

I'd like to play this game but I refuse to be caught on the wrong side of the "we went F2P" movement. Darn. Patience is a virtue!

Its all part of the new master plan. Make LeBron lose threepeat; force trade to Cavs; Cav trifecta complete.

We're all too busy Googling Mallory Edens to care.

10 years ago I married the love of my life. We got divorced this January after she drove our finances into the ground and fucked at least one guy. I used to think things like "living a meaningful life" and "being insightful and compassionate" were important. But now I think the only things...

People who hang those plastic balls from the back of their pickup truck. I guess its not so much that it rustles my jimmies, but it just completely perplexes me. I just can't understand why someone would do this. I mean, I really just cannot fathom it. What kind of person would do this? Why? How...

Weirdly, I got my shit kicked in by the Knight just before King Vendrick. I never thought the fight was that hard, but for some reason I kept on fucking it up purely out of incompetence. That was pretty frustrating for me because I didn't even feel satisfied when I beat him - I just thought "Wow...

Boss Souls can be used to make Boss Weapons - which are generally cool-looking but inferior to whatever +10/+5 item you originally planned on using. There are a few exceptions - for example, I use the Dragon Rider Bow - but the rest of the Boss Weapons I tried were pretty underwhelming. Depends...

Loved this series and always thought Kate was super bangable. Awesome and much underated gameplay with cool gadgets and sweet (at the time) graphics. Would play again.
