part of the hardcore challenge of dark souls is convincing pc gamers that it is better than their rarely equalled pc action games

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

A quick and dirty port tells me that they have no faith in the game being the equal of what's on offer already on the PC like The Witcher so they don't want to waste money.

I feel sorry for them almost(Darkforge and his ilk): bashing skeletons in the same cutpasta dungeon for 40 hours, one has to rationalize a sense for all those wasted hours and what better way than convincing yourself that the 'block, counter' schematic is the epitome of ARPG combat and the static NPC's and pot bashing is far superior to anything else on offer?

you are such a retard commie that i dont even know how to respond... witcher 2 superior gameplay: roll+quen+roll+lmb+roll+lmb+roll+lmb+roll+lmb+roll....

From a faggot that has "i cant stand gothics[sic] games" as his sig, I'll take that as a compliment. I'll stay here with my roll+quen and Gothic combat over the "block stun+counter" of Derp Souls thanks. I'll also have better worlds to explore, better stories and quests to do, better c&c. Enjoy your vomit green cut pasta dungeons/ruins and your checkpoints(oh but you can pretend that doing the same area a dozen times is evidence of superior 'gaempley')..

yea and better boss fights. name me one good boss fight in twicher 2...just good one not better than those in dark souls better world to explore? you mean better fucking coridors in fucking forest? cause twicher 2 is all about fucking corridors. and fucking cutscenes in the middle of a fight...cinematic finishers ffs. better stories? its neat political fiction in fucking generic fantasy, thats all. elves/dwarves and slavery ohh so fucking dark and edgy, sapkowskis novels sucks you moron. dont even compare dark souls lore with sapkowskis shitty setting. you have no fucking idea of dark souls c&c, its beyond your moronic comprehension you retard. c&c in twicher 2 means witch fucking npc gonna show up in fucking cut scene^^

and gothic 2&3&risen sucks too bro. just deal with it.

The final fight with The Balder was pretty fun tbf

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

yep. and the fact that you could talk yourself out of that fight was clear but the first one the cthulhu on swamps fight or dragon qte scene in the tower

 

[ArcturusXIV]

Amazing. Not one single orc, elf, troll in sight in all of Dark Souls, and people still convince themselves it has "cut-paste" dungeons with their amazing gift of prophecy that somehow allows them to "review" a game without even playing!

Preternatural...

And the combat goes WAY beyond block-counter, Moron.

There are at least 8-15 options in any given situation, which is why we are worried about the PC port. Not only is there light and heavy attacks, backstabs, counters, ripostes, parries, and estus flasks, there is also the ability to climb ladders, use the environment, kick your enemies off cliffs, throw firebombs, use magic, switch out your weapon for a pyromancy glove, and use your shield to drive an opponent back.

Of course, you can go back to playing Witcher.

It's only fair that small-minded people only get one game to play nowadays.

They won't give any other a chance.

Chances are, in a forum where 95% of the people like Fallout, if they say an RPG is good, it's good.

Get it??

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

there is also the ability to climb ladders

twicher 2 has it to. as a cutscene

I don't think anyone has ever complained about the quality of combat/game mechanics... it's just the total lack of everything else.

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

it's just the total lack of everything else.

like great atmosphere? fucking great npc? if i am correct you can kill every single one of them, and it has consequences awesome lore? great implementation of lore into gameplay (humanity). fucking covennats ( find them first bro)? puzzles, but not like in late zelda games. there is much more in dark souls tha n just boss fights and grind

 

[ArcturusXIV]

Lack of brain when critiquing Dark Souls.

 

[Grimlorn]

Who cares what you PCtards think? If you don't want to play then don't play. Don't sit there and keep on posting that you don't want to play. Shut up and move on.

Indeed, Black. Indeed. Pointing out flaws before playing, pfffft! Everyone knows no-custom key binding wouldn't lead to frustration. And GLFW isn't a problem! Because all DRMs are different! They're not the same!

There is just nothing to be criticised by someone who hasent even played the game, and has no idea what is he talking about.
Just random bulshiting, i wonder why people bother replying to such posts.

 

[RK47]

Yeah, you should demo the game with torrent first before saying it's shit, at least. At the very least invest like half to one hour to judge.
Mainstream site reviews are unreliable these days. It's the only way to be sure.

 

[Kosmonaut]

The butthurt is glorious! Thanks Dark Souls fanbois for giving more and more.

Guess we'll just disagree on that.

I've actually played it for a few hours on a friend's system but... oh God... why am I replying to you of all people.

 

[Volrath]

Pay no attention to commie; he's a Witcher fanboy, and if someone can be said to have no clue about what a good game is, it's those guys.

Just look at 1eyedking

 

[commie]

What can change the nature of a butthurt Derp Souls fanboi?

It's hilarious that there's so much rage from them. I guess when the only alternative is Super Mario, Devil May Fap clones and Fags of War style cover shooters, their desperation to cling to anything different and put it up as the epitome of greatness is understandable.

Were combat the only thing that mattered to make a RPG great then we'd have a very short list. The reality is that it's not, and whether the snide remarks about The Witcher 2's combat are correct(which may be changed somewhat in the Enhanced Edition)it does not change the fact that TW2, Gothic, Risen do everything else BETTER than DS. I'd even say watching that 20 odd part playthrough on Jewtube that the DS combat is just as schematic and dull for the most part(Severance fucking skull fucks DS's combat. A Derp Souls fan would get raped fighting the first fucker. FACT. Go back to one shotting skeletons! LOL), graphics are shit, exploration is non-existent confined as you are to a corridor(a problem in other games yet somehow glossed over here, eh?), pulling the same levers over and over to go down an elevator(derp) and smashing pots(how 1996!)to get goodies. Great atmosphere? Where, in the green dungeons? Haven't seen those before...oh wait, I have...



Don't worry though, I'll give it a chance, but if it in any way resembles what I've seen already, then you fuckers not only need to apologise to us doubters, but shut the fuck up about how fucking great this game is once and for all!

Amazing. Not one single orc, elf, troll in sight in all of Dark Souls, and people still convince themselves it has "cut-paste" dungeons with their amazing gift of prophecy that somehow allows them to "review" a game without even playing!

Preternatural...

And the combat goes WAY beyond block-counter, Moron.

Skeletons, demons, undead knights, dragons are really unique...

How can you lie that there's no cutpasta when on the Jewtube walkthrough the guy walks through almost exactly the same looking areas fighting the same 3 skeletons 6 hours apart???

I saw 'block/counter' with the skeletons at the start and a dozen hours in. I saw 'block/counter' with those undead knights(gulp, more original enemies!), I saw it with the ice encrusted thing which takes 5 seconds to do it's animation when you block and gives you time to have a coffee and still go behind it to slash it in the back.

Fucking clown.

Oh, there are 8-15 options in any situation? WOW, Witcher has the same amount! Too bad that just like in the Witcher, one doesn't need to use most of them. Why is it ok to criticise TW2 for roll and Quen even when no-one is forcing you to fight like that, while DS gets praised for it's multiple options that are barely taken advantage of in bog standard encounters? Hypocritical fuck.

Get it??

I get that you're a deluded fanboi with selective memory and criticism.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Sorry commie, but From Software games >>>> you.

 

[Brayko]

I don't even give a fig about Twitcher games but the Derp Souls fanboys-and-girls around these parts being quite vocal does strike me as a bit awkward.

 

[commie]

Sorry commie, but From Software games >>>> you.

What's from Software? What did they make for PC? Anything I'd know?

Let's see:



Aha.

Consoletard Developer gonna Consoletard.



Oh and LGS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>you

Nya, nya, nya nya! :p

Anyway Ms Bee, aren't you supposed to be doing a LP of Wiz4?

 

[made]

I remember not long ago you were vigorously defending your right to enjoy shit games, commie. Now you're going all skyway on the consoletards.

Y U gotta be so contrarian bro?

Well I can't troll the Biotard forums, so I'm reduced to trolling those that should know better than to take their console lovin' to such a prestigious site. My love at least is for shit PC games which makes all the difference...:p

Besides, they are so precious and defensive...like Biodrones.

Oh and one other thing: I don't force my shit games down peoples' throats claiming they are the best thing ever and so much better than what other people like. This shit just pisses me off.
