[SOLDIER First]

Dark Souls: Prepare to (Fail At) Parrying Edition

[Arcvasti]

Why do you want to quit? Dark souls is probably one of the best action RPGs ever made.

Because I'm playing nothing but Dark Souls and starting one character for each potential build I could do. When I did that with Skyrim, I ended up with ~15 characters and sinking hundreds of hours in. And I have other games to play. This is the natural conclusion to that desire. I'm actually doing pretty well beating things up with my fists of fury while wearing the ghetto Dark Souls equivalent of a luchador outfit. What I'm looking forwards to is invading people and making their day a bit more absurd, even if my weapons are completely useless for anything besides MAYBE parries/backstabs.

Plus Dark Souls doesn't QUITE give me what I REALLY want from an RPG right now: The ability to be a godlike caster character. Unleashing a Chaos Storm on Seath and halving his health is the closest Dark Souls really comes. Even Skyrim let me feel more like an elemental force of destruction once I got 100% Fortify Destruction and just LIGHTNING LASERED all the things.

Also, have you gone to the abysswalker DLC yet? You have the Prepare-to-Die edition so it should be installed.

Not really. Knight Artorias is hella robust[More so then any other boss I've encountered] and you have to go through a bunch of tedious enemies to get to him. Its something I've been meaning to get further in, but keep either forgetting about or just doing other stuff instead.

Dark Souls: Prepare to (Fail At) Parrying Edition

I easily spent like the first week of my[ongoing] Dark Souls binge doing just that.

[Akura]

Absolutely wrecked Fortree Gym. It helps that most of my team was 10-15 levels higher than the gym trainers' Pokemon, except Latios who was slightly over Winona's team. The only Pokemon even in danger of fainting was Mega Blaziken, because I left him in a few turns after getting confused from a Water Pulse by Winona's Pelipper. And that's even after Mawile tanked an Earthquake from Altaria(which I'm surprised Altaria can even learn).

Pokemon Omega Ruby. The reason for being overleveled was the affection system, which with little work can get you a permanent 20% bonus to a Pokemon's EXP gain. The EXP Share also speeds the team along. Latios hadn't quite caught up yet.

By the way, is Winona related to Lisia, the girl who sets you up for the Contests in ORAS? They look quite similar, and both have an Altaria.

[Reudh]

Altaria's a dragon/flying type. Many fully evolved dragon types can learn Earthquake.

I loaded a random workshop prison in Prison Architect, looking to get my escape on. I arrive in a prison bus, as always. The bus drives towards the prison. It keeps driving. It doesn't stop. The bus drives off the map. I win.

Ha!

Escape? You can try to escape in that game?

Blew up a Separatist cruiser, paving the way for a full-scale invasion force to come through.

Stylish.

[Arx]

There is something immensely satisfying about hard booming into war wagons as Koreans. Especially when your allies are on top of their games so it's backed by hordes of shotels and halberdiers.

AoE II.

[94dima94]

I don't know what happened, but my Randomizer for Pokemon Emerald completely screwed up the stats of everything, even though it was not supposed to change anything like that;
so, in the first gym, I'm fighting against level 12 enemies that can tank every move I have, and can one-shot everyone in my level 18 team, despite weaknesses or resistances.

I lost so many times, i even tried to cheat with the save-states once, but when your enemies have Earthquake, or other 100% accuracy moves, that is useless.
Finally, it took me 40 minutes (speeding up time with the emulator, otherwise it would have probably took me an hour) to win, but somehow I did it! And without any cheat!

Still, now the same thing is happening in the second gym, so probably I won't play this game for a long time, but at least I did it!

Nice!

I personally prefer the incredibly lethal run, as well as killing Hightower.

I've been trying to knock Gessler out of the tower, but he keeps sliding down the wall really slowly, preventing me from killing that fucker.

How do I  knock him out of the building?

Incredibly precise superjumping. Get very, very close. And if you have to, multiple tackles still gives you it. Just hold him at [Gametitle] until he... Yeah. ;3 I have nearly every achievement in the game. That was my first choice when I got to the ending, after I had butchered my way through a city in pursuit of justice.

And now I kind of want a sequel, even though there is no hook whatsoever.

[heydude6]

Yeah, my main complaint about gunpoint is that the mechanics are so solid that you just end wanting more after beating the game. It also doesn't help that there are several easily fixable flaws with the level editor that handicaps community creators significantly.

[KingofstarrySkies]

We probably won't get another until the creator finishes his new space-stealth game that looks equally as simplistically delicious. I miss my PUNCHING PEOPLE INTO GOO.
