I’m on my second attempt at playing Dark Souls 1 on PC. I know it’s a meme but holy moly does this game not give a fuck about you. Lately I’ve been trying to play games on harder difficulties and avoid guides in order to be forced to utilize every mechanic, but Dark Souls is breaking me.
The lack of direction the player is given and unforgiving gameplay is too much for me though. I’ve resorted to looking up tips on combat, builds, and items, and how to progress now and again.
Overall though it’s a lot of fun. The enemies are so well designed and every time I see a miniboss waiting for me in the distance my butt clenches, which is a very fun experience that not many games are able to deliver.
I still think there are aspects of the game that are needlessly frustrating. Some enemies seem like a cruel joke, mainly the freaking ghosts that move and attack through walls. Also I wish there was more direction, NPCs I could talk to or something that would give me ideas on where I should be going. Wandering around and dying repeatedly is only fun for so long imo.
I’m glad a game like this exists for people who are not whiny wusses like me though.
It took me three attempts for me to finally enjoy it, and get through the whole game, I feel you. The game’s high barrier to entry is its biggest flaw.I’m glad you’re enjoying it
I don’t know how far you’ve gotten, but unless you’re reasonably far through the game, you should not go to see those ghosts. Try going back to the start, and then upwards.
Started playing The Lamplighters League after seeing that it’s on game pass. Also still playing Sea of Stars,where I just defeated the Dweller, and now feel betrayed 😭
Not about videogames, but my master announced that our DnD campaign will be put on hiatus after the current arc is finished, as he doesn’t have time anymore to prep.
I’m considering mastering a short campaign, but it’s really difficult. I don’t like half-assing things and I end up spending too much time on prep, and eventually stop having fun.
It’s also a very heterogeneous group this time around, compared to the last time I mastered a campaign, which makes things a bit more difficult.
I’m still playing BG3: I’ve just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I’m finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I’m also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we’ll see how that comes along.
Every time I try to role play as an evil protagonist I start feeling bad for NPCs or get fomo about rewards I’ll be missing. Not sure if I’ve gone full evil since Fable 1.
I started helping a friend with his first playthrough of Elden Ring and I’ve been completely sucked back in. I’ve got a couple new characters going now
I want a mod that makes it a little easier to get to the logistics robots faster, but without a complete overhaul, the extensive mods are too much for me…m
Playing on my Project Zomboid server, water and power just cut out but my dude is not handy enough to operate generators, so I’ll have to scramble and go find my that “how to use generators” manual with the fuel I have left, just to get the fridge back up and running. And muldraugh itself is becoming pretty barren, so it’s gonna be the next town over 😅
I’m playing a co-op bg3 campaign but I’m otherwise burnt out on it (onlymissing 2 achievements) so I’m thinking about picking up Wargroove 2. Anybody playing that? I think I would like it but it’s hard to tell from the trailers.
I love tactics games and have been looking for a new one like Advanced Wars, Frostpunk…hell even bg3 combat. I started Divinity 2 but it feels bad to play immediately after bg3 so I’m gonna give it a few months
