What about the load times doe?
It's not that bad. Gives you a chance to calm down and relax before giving it another go.
What about the load times doe?
I wonder if the Digital download will help (it's downloading as I type this) with the load times, even if it does I doubt it is more then 1-2sec.
I also never was one for shields and I know that the magic builds was the popular way to go but I guess I just wanted to make things more difficult on myself and used bows and then would flip to a fast sword when they got close so I guess as a plus I don't have that style/experience to unlearn from. I never did play DSII I think I bought the PS4 just around the time that game came out so couldn't justify spending money on a PS3 game.
Reading your guys' posts and what I've read online I do think it sounds like it will be more like Demon Souls then Dark Souls, not that there was huge differences nor am I as knowledgeable as Priest or Chris but I think there was subtle differences between them and like Demon Souls better.
At any rate thanks for the replies.
I must have some unknown curse on me.
So I'm starting Fallout 2 with the latest Restoration Project once again.
Well, can you consider life a waste of time if you enjoy it? So I'll call this one a good thing.
War...War never changes.
Hah, that sucks. I did find it interesting that in this game when you don't meet a weapon's requirements, you just can't use it at all, since of course in the Souls games not having the stats for a weapon simply meant that you took a massive damage penalty while using it, and probably swung it slower, but you could still equip it.About 6 hours in I unlocked the Kirkhammer, sold my hunters axe to afford to buy the hammer, and realized i was 4 strength short of equipping it. No other weapons for sale. i spend the next 2 1/2 hours killing townsfolk by hand to save up the 10k echoes needed to lvl STR up. I was so pissed.
Goddammit. You made me remember my laptop getting stolen. I was playing fallout on it and I never got to finishing it.

Couldn't you have just bought one of the three starting weapons rather than grinding 10,000 echoes bare-fisted to up your strength? I thought those only cost like 1k-2k souls? At least then you would have had a weapon to do your farming, and you can equip two anyway.
No, although considering it's an RE4 clone and RE4 is one of my favorite games ever, I should probably try it at some point. But some reviewers I trust were pretty ho-hum on it, and pointed to some serious flaws. This from Jim Sterling:Did any of you guys ever give The Evil Within a go?
Yeah, that's the sense I got from reviews: it could have been really great because the core gameplay is there, but then there's a lot of random BS design decisions and situations that are just completely unfair.^^^^ It is so brutal. I'm playing it right now. You can spend 15 minutes in Metal Gear like stealth mode trying to collect a few bullets from houses and such without attracting attention....only to have it completely wiped out when you run into a trip wire/bear trap in the middle of some random field that is pitch black while running away from some zombies. I might have to switch down off that survival mode eventually because it does get to the point where you don't want to play it, even though it's a pretty good game.
Hah, well, there was actually some sort of Amazon flash sale on Evil Within this morning -- it was going for $20, so I went ahead and bought it despite my reservations. Seven hours later, and it's already back to $30, so I feel like I got a decent deal. Who knows, maybe I won't mind mind the flaws so much. I certainly like hard games.
Finished it. The "story mode" (i.e. non-Chalice dungeon stuff) took me about 35 hours. Then I did all the non-randomized Chalice dungeons, which took me another 20 hours. I started New Game+ and killed the first two bosses (mostly to see how hard it would be) and then gave it a rest for other things. I haven't decided if I want to pick it back up again soon.you put much time into bloodborne?
So, um, yeah, this year's E3 has been kinda insane so far. In particular, Sony made three mind-blowing announcements.
1. Final Fantasy VII is being remade. Yep. It's officially happening now. It was only a short teaser, and they gave no date, so it's probably at least two years away. But it's gonna happen. (link)
2. The Last Guardian is being released. It's been in development since 2007, was announced in 2009, and was originally scheduled for release in 2011. Now it'll finally get a release in 2016, five years late and on entirely different hardware. (link)
3. Shenmue 3 is happening. Actually, Sony isn't even developing this one: they just gave the game's director a platform to announce his Kickstarter for the project. He's asking $2 million, but as I write this, it's already at $1.4 million after a mere five hours or so... and there's still a month of funding left. It'll probably be fully funded by tomorrow. (link)
Oh yeah, and Dark Souls 3 got announced. Only in the face of these other three announcements does that seem underwhelming. And honestly, I'm a little concerned that it's being rushed. Early 2016 seems fast in the wake of Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne. (link)
Plus there's this Fallout 4 thing coming in November. (link)
Microsoft had some good things to show, too. Definitely the biggest show-stopper was their demo of the HoloLens with Minecraft. Looks really cool. (link)
And, in a surprise move, Microsoft is moving to make the X-Box One backwards compatible with X-Box 360 games. Whoda thunk it? (link)
And these are just some of the highlights... not even half of the cool stuff that's been shown off so far.
Lastly, I've been playing The Witcher 3 and it's... well... amazing. I wasn't convinced at first, as there are a lot of things about it that still bother me. But it's so great that I can look past all the problems I have with it. I'll probably write more of my thoughts about it at some point.
EDIT: Btw, Google "Gametrailers Shenmue 3 reveal reaction." Hilarious. No one has ever geeked out so hard over a game announcement.
