Are you guys seriously complaining that the best XP in the game is no longer running the same 1-room dungeon over and over again?

If money was tight I would rather play CS/TF2/Quakelive for an hour when I felt like getting my FPS fix, and save that money for buying a really quality game that can offer a more unique experience.

This all assumes you're playing softcore and can allow yourself to focus on DPS and accept close calls. Untwinked and without paragon levels on Hardcore, Hard/Expert felt right all the way to 60. The 14% XP bonus from going to Expert over Hard doesn't make sense when Mob HP increases by 60% and...

This is by far my favourite build: END 40 DEX 40 VIT 40 STR ~14-16 (14 lets you use katanas and Great Scythe, which are amazing dex weapons. 16 lets you use several other nice weapons, including Drake Sword early, Silver Knight Spear and Eagle Shield later) I'd level STR/DEX to what you...

The beta was fun but unengaging. The gameplay was smooth, fast and exciting, but it felt like a game you pick up every now and then to play for an hour. It was very instant gratification, not much of a tactical feel to the shooting. The hyped up wallrun and jumping was completely underwhelming...

Hm, I always thought they were. Then do the mining calculations serve a purpose, or are they just wasted energy?

I think you're an idiot.

If anything, the change makes the game harder, since you can no longer use spots like Forest Hunters and Phalanx to level way above the intended level before progressing. Anything you kill 15 times is because you're farming it, or because it's located by some central location which you...

15 (!) times! How many mobs did you kill 15 times in one playthrough in Dark Souls? I don't even think I killed the Phalanx as many as 15 times, and I was farming that spot for like an hour. I really wouldn't worry about it.

I still think PoE will be the better game after all this, but D3 will always play a lot smoother. The gameplay is better, even if the loot, content and customization sucks. Hopefully 2.0/RoS fixes some of the latter issues.

On that note, is Dragon's Dogma worth buying/playing?

Please elaborate.

Gox horror story thread - How much did you lose? : Bitcoin A fool and his money etc, but those are some pretty rough losses.

The archers are just deceptively hard. If you know what to do, or you're lucky and do it instinctively, it's not difficult at all. It appears to be nearly impossible because it looks like the archers will pincer attack you when you get onto the ledge. Instead, one archer has his LoS blocked, so...

So you guys worried about being invaded 24/7 unless you go offline, there's hope. Apparently there's a mechanic in DS2 to deny all invasions (and help) in an area. It's not a story spoiler, and is probably explained early on in the game, but I'll put it in tags anyway for those that want to...

I died ~20 times on that black knight my first time through, but it taught me circling/blocking/rolling techniques that lasted the entire game. I did eventually beat him in fair melee with a wooden shield and +0 hand axe. Felt like a champ. I couldn't consistently parry him at that point, but...

It's also kind of spoileriffic. Here's the spoiler-free conclusion. My edits in bold:

The latest soundbite from the devs is that they are "hoping it will be weeks, not months". But with nothing announced, I'm going to guess that means "months, not quarters". May/June is my guess.

If you're waiting for the PC release, I'm sure there will be plenty of spoiler free tip threads on Reddit etc. From what I've heard about DS2 thus far (didn't try beta), going blind shouldn't be an issue. The mechanics are very similar to DS, and the tutorial is apparently more thorough.

Key being "If you know what to do". There's pretty much no way any sane person would figure out how to open that door in his first playthrough. Keep in mind there are zero rewards for the first 29 sacrifices, and it's not like the item doesn't have other uses. If you have to look that up, you...

Outside of twink builds and super serious PvP, the build really doesn't matter that much, does it? Some dude with 40 vitality invades your 20 vitality build? Whatever, if you put those 20 points into a DPS stat, you have ~33% more attack rating than him (+15 Uchi at 20 vs 40 dex, 316 vs 420...

Assuming we put the limit at minimum 3 games, and Dark Souls 2 doesn't suck, the Souls series blows the competition out of the water. - The series has grown huge solely on the back of its excellent and unique design, not due to a massive budget or marketing campaign. Demon's Souls was...

I'm greatly looking forward to PvP being forced upon me in DS2. In DS1 I just played through the entire game hollow except right after I kindled a bonfire. Since I didn't want sunbros beating the game for me, going human was just counterproductive. That said, some of my absolute fondest moments...

When you're 4 points off the top of the table with 12 games to go, and the last three games against the top 3 teams have been one blowaway victory (home), one fair loss (away) and one undeserved loss (away) - you're in it no matter what you say. Sure, Rodgers and the players can say they're not...

The whole game was just wonky because of those freak goals. It allowed Fulham to sit with 9 men behind the ball most of the game, denying Liverpool any room to play in. At the same time, Fulham obviously didn't get any chances, seeing as they didn't ever go forward. Without Toure/Skrtel's...

Kolo Toure really put on his clown nose today. First that own goal, then he bulldozes the ref. Jesus.

You're wrong. The ball doesn't go near him, he's not moving for the ball, and he's not covering the keeper. Not even close to being offside. In other news, I'm almost feeling sorry for Man U at this point. They're not playing great, but the last few lost points have been pure robberies.

No.

Stop with your god damn conspiracy theories. You lose because you're bad.

I'm pretty sure Brando didn't watch the match either. Chelsea didn't park the bus or play like shitbags in any sense*. They played aggressively, tight and fast with an emphasis on overloading on counter attacks. It was great fun to watch. Demichelis looked like the worst player on the planet...

Uhm, no. I played 15 hours of the game at 30fps before I was convinced to try the unlocker. There is a massive difference in smoothness when going to 60fps. Also, half of those bugs look like hardware/driver errors, not software errors. I haven't seen any of those on my setup after switching...

What exactly breaks with the 60fps fix? I started using it yesterday after a friend reported no bugs, and it's SO much smoother. The only thing I've noticed being different was that one particular Silver Knight in Anor Londo now occasionally fails to switch to melee when I close in. That...

So Mata confirmed. Wenger is pissy because of the aforementioned reasons, thinking this is Chelsea strengthening Man U on purpose after having played them twice.

Lumie believing in conspiracies? Tell me it isn't so.

Tinkmaster confirmed OP, over 50% squirrels.

I'm pretty sure you would be pulled out of a movie theater if you sat there filming the whole movie with your phone too. Like I said, there's a fuckton of stupid from all parties in that story, but the "google glass has a shitty camera so it should be allowed" argument is pretty short...

3200+ dust in a night? Pretty nice.

That Pyro is money.

Stealthed minions can't be targeted by the opponent at all. They can only be hit by AOE effects and random effects.

Moyest embarassing.
