Dark [chat]s

Bogart

I am playing Dark Souls right now and just killed Lautrec the Evil Shitbag.

Discuss and/or debate.

Was he an Evil Shitbag or a Nefarious Fuckstain?

I figure twenty minutes was long enough to wait. Also you may think this is a rather Spartan OP but I take my cue from the way Dark Souls introduces you to its mechanics, which is to say it does not bother in any way whatsoever so fuck you.

I'm pretty sure you already know this, just to be absolutely safe, you know that dodge rolls have i-frames, right?

I love the new Pokemon games, they're the best.

I even love all the extra bullshit like playing trainer dress-up and the fact that they basically built Pokemon Snap into the game.

I felt pretty good about the way I beat Lautrec. Shoot the Mage, which doesn't seem to aggro the others but which makes him run to you, hide at the back then jump out and marmelise him before the others reach you, then kite the others around until they're split up enough to get a hit in and repeat until you're done. Took four or five fights to get it right, and the first one I just ran up and started wailing and died in five seconds.

Having no estus flask is painful, though. Had to heal once with a humanity, but c'est la vie.

You have never known loss, your winning means nothing. Not until you have truly suffered for it can you understand victory.

I knew sometimes blows did not hit me while I was rolling or backstabbing but am nowhere near good enough to take much advantage of it.

... why would you not love dress-up?

character dress-up is one of the best parts of most games.

Donkey Kong

The first pokémon game had like 3 minutes before you were booted out into the tall grass to engage in the sport of your bloodthirsty land. In this new game, it was a good 20 minutes before I even got my starter and the cutscenes just would not stop.

There was even a cutscene where they insisted my starter needed to choose me too. The fuck! I am the new master, same as the old master and it will obey. Choose me?! This is why I'm proud to have voted for Donald Trump.

This is some low energy chat threading.

I personally felt it was only really useful during boss fights, but I found it was really important during boss fights. Unless you're going with a heavy armor build, in which case you're probably encumbered enough that your roll isn't very good, I'd recommend trying it out. Being able to slip through a boss's attack without the big stamina drain and momentary pause of blocking with a shield is really powerful.

Are you talking about X/Y or Sun/Moon?

The tutorial bits are indeed annoying, but Moon seems to have done a good job of interspersing them with parts where you can just wander around.

Also, the extra story for Alpha Sapphire was way better than X so I'm hoping that Moon will be more like that. I like already that they mixed things up and you're not just going to gyms but are doing some new sort of challenge (not sure if this will just amount to fighting gym leaders who are just called something else).

I still can't tell what the newest pokemon games are and all that. I feel like as soon as I know nintendo releases like 4 more versions

if I had an old gameboy I'd probably just play through red or blue again. don't need that complexity.

although wait scratch that. if I can't fix up my laptop I am gonna "have to" bring my 3ds to work monday so I may be playing pokemon (I think I have x or y so... last generation?). more likely it'll be something else though.

Donkey Kong

Also of course my first male Yungoos was named "Donald" (google image search this shit, non pokémon folks) and when he learned a Dark type move called "Pursuit" i nearly died laughing.

When you use Pursuit, the screen goes dark and the enemy starts nervously sweating and backing away while your pokémon advances on it. Once the enemy is in a corner of the screen, you grab it for high damage. It is Donald's strongest move.

if i ever make a game, it will ask the user if they want to play through the tutorial.

the tutorial will be a bunch of unskippable cut scenes the user has to move around and trigger, including a cut scene that teaches you character about cut scenes by her being forced to watch one and complaining about it loudly. it will be unskippable.

harharhar I was getting annoyed because the dell disc for my 6 year old laptop didn't seem to have the right drivers in it and ohno what ever will I do

Yeah, I'm talking about Moon. I might have had the same complaints about Y, I don't really remember. Probably, this is Nintendo's new AAA formula. Skyward Sword was the same way.

I want a Pokémon game that is something between what we have now and monster hunter. Imagine you engage in trainer battles, but you can control the Pokémon and your powers have cool downs. Position matters etc. But you explore the world as the trainer. Oh and of course jumping puzzles.

I have to admit that most of the enjoyment comes from making fun of the lazy new pokémon designs (is that one seriously just a key ring?!) and laughing at how dark the central conceit of the game is (cockfighting simulator) when contrasted with the happy face nintendo draws over it (disneyland x10).

It happens more often than not these days. Especially in a business setting.

I saw a glimpse of it in the intro movie and said "holy shit". They have to have done it on purpose, right?

Ludious

Yeah Disney still embraces darkness even if it's at a distance. Outside the Pokémon movies, Nintendo does a real good job of making the horror of that world normalized

Ludious

Also auto correct for Pokémon is on god damned point

Ludious

That being said, the first Pokémon movie will wreck your shit if you aren't prepared. I dunno what it is about that movie but it destroyed me and I am not some fringe case. I remember when it came out people my age now being like, "Did we get dosed before we saw this?"
