Just wanted to pop in on behalf of Denmark and say "Ha!"

I hate this game.

That's a very poor Pentagon Jr. also welcome back.

RDR is one of the most well-executed games ever, allonge with MGS 1 and Super Mario 3. So stoked for at sequel

Boom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQhPxLGhkok

Thought it got pretty good reviews... Yeah, well a lot of people like pretty average and shitty things!

Just got done with Until Dawn. Man, that game blows.

The Witcher 3, still in the first village.. So much shit to do and see.

Yeah. A tip: You'll have to jump off edges to get there. Yeah, just read up on it... I was so pissed by the end that when I got the ponytail headthingy I just *censored*ing legged it back to the lamp and got straight out of there. Having to go back is baaaaaaad news.

Wait, there's an end-boss in Cainhurst? I think I missed that.

Cainhurst Castle *censored*ing wrecked my ass, I wasn't really in the zone and the enemies ganged up on me constantly. Also those *censored*ing spider-beasts outside - holy shit. I died like 20 times in the first 5 minutes. Cleared it and got the gear, though. At the spider-boss now, love the design of the fight-stage on the lake.

In regards to level design - I legit got lost multiple times in the dark forest. I wasn't even mad, cause it felt right to have no idea which way was what. The way all the "levels" loop and connect is just maddening, as well. It's off the charts how clever it is.

I meant that you just stepped out of the debate. But it's all good, man. I get you.

Dissapointing.

Meh, I don't think the design is clunky. It's not like it has Resident Evil tank controls or anything. The game is like it is for a reason - otherwise it'd be another run of the mill hack and slash game with little to no tactic - like Dynasty Warriors where you literally just press A to win. It's obvious in the way enemies and the player controls, as well as how the environment has traps when you least expect it - that the game wants you to slow down, time your moves and jumps. This gameworld hates you and it makes it almost as hard to survive virtually as it would be if you were actually there. When you die you don't just die - you lose everything and can get it back by killing whoever killed you - why would they purposely add in a feature like that if the game didn't know you'd die constantly and give you a chance to exact revenge? Games hardly ever give you a real sense of accomplishment, but these titles do. Also what's ironic about me liking one game but not another? There is really nothing ironic to be seen there. Just because you think Dark Souls is broken doesn't mean my opinion on either game is less valid or ironic. EDIT: I think you're assuming a lot just going "nah, clunky design for sure". You've played an hour and you can without a shadow of a doubt lay down the fact that it's a poorly designed, clunky game that is difficult not by design but by accident - and that people spun this around as if it was intentional. Come on, you're a hard-headed guy, but please.

It just felt like a poorly designed game that punished you for trying to play it. Some people took that and twisted it into a good thing...claiming that it was a "challenge", but I never saw anything more than a shit game. I got that game for free with Games with Gold, and I didn't play it more than an hour before deleting it from my console and vowing to never play it again. I don't think people twisted it., to be honest. It's just different compared to what we were used to, there are very few games out there that punish you, without being unfair - GodHand comes to mind, but that's about it. The Souls games take some getting used to, granted - but they give an experience like no other.

Really? How come?

If people aren't playing Bloodborne they're really missing out.

I love that game.

That first Nba2k screenie is glorious.
