    5 humanity

    28000 souls

    gone, gone, down the drain

    not even because of a monster

    I just walked into the elevator to the ruins when the elevator wasn't there, fell down the pit

    literally couldn't touch the game for two whole days afterwards

    Nothing like farming the sewer rats for an hour for humanity

    the place that most astounded me was Ash Lake

    because I discovered it completely by accident

    I had no idea what was down there, no idea if I was even supposed to go down there

    and then when you finally reach the bottom

    you are completely flabbergasted

    you've gone too far to turn back

    but what you see before you is far too intimidating

    it was completely surreal, even when looked at from an ingame perspective

    the only downside of the amazing vistas was that my xbox couldn't keep up with them and would take a really bad hit to frames per second

    I liked Demon's Souls fiction and world a lot

    Like, a lot

    Dark Souls seems a bit more surreal and aggressively obtuse

    It does add a middleman between you and donations, but the social aspect of it could encourage more donations.

    I feel the reverse, like it's slightly less obtuse.

    The weapon you get from cutting off her tail isn't all that great either

    But gotta get those achievements
    It has the strongest bleed effect in the game, and removes the largest chunk of health when the bleed gauge fills up.

    I love Dark Souls. That game has one of the best senses of exploration. It's weird how much of the game sticks in your head, I could easily recreate pretty much the entire game map in my head. Not something I could do for most games

    it's because it's a contiguous space - every space is realistically & plausibly connected to the beginning area and you can always return, even to the undead asylum

    almost nobody else does that shit. even dear esther is an impossible space

    and it's made all the crazier by how batshit the locations are.

    like sure, why not have a giant lava city underneath an underground swamp which also contains a hollow tree which leads down to a infinitely big lake

    ungh why is it not august i want to play this game now

    i may have to go rent it in a few weeks

    Listen, i like thigh highs and corsets too, but this was an upgrade to my full plate armour

    hahahahahaha see this is why I think Guild Wars character design is great

    you can dress like a slut if you want

    or you can dress like a freakin' battle tank without showing an inch of skin if you want

    but at least 90% of the time, you look good:

    so you know how some authors have a little blurby thing at the bottom of their articles that describes them

    how do I request one of those for the stuff I write

    because I write about context and how important it is a LOT, and that's an easy way to compact some of my own for the article

    If they gave you the ability to post the article directly you should be able to access the profile page.

    when i played new vegas i installed a mod that gave me INVISIBLE ARMOR that used some unused slot so that i could have decent armor stats and still RP as a wanderer dragging my way across the wasteland in tattered clothes

    every game needs that option

    i just did boone's quest, and killed a shit ton of legion jerks, and i was swimming in caps
    and i stole pretty much everything that wasn't obviously owned by anyone

    and then i got to the clinic north of "vegas" and bought that subdermal armor
    back to that one doctor outfit with the t-shirt, satchel and fatigue pants, with mustache, aviators and rattan hat, of course.

    i really want a game that lets you be an archer
    i wonder if dragon's dogma will be decent

    yeah the teaching bit taught me way more about how to play fighting games than I learned from all other fighting games I've played before combined. Still awful though.

    I looked at that and instantly thought Ghibli

    Then I remembered hearing something about a game that Ghibli was doing art for

    Clicked the video, confirmed that this is it

    I remember losing about 28 humanity after dying legitimately, and then incredibly fucking stupidly and then I never played it again. This was right after chopping that giant wolf in the testicles for half an hour
