How existential.

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man. Man.

Hey Spamizens

Anyone doing Extra Life 2014? Because I am.

You all should, like, totally go and watch my stream.

I'll be playing Morrowind and you guys will get to dictate my every move. So you can totally send me to certain death.

Which spammer would win the hungry games

Survival and evasive-survival are mutually exclusive. Shoot as many animals as you like -- cook 'em on a nice, biiiiiig fire next to your improvised lean-to. I'll spot you from a mile away.You know, as long as the jungle is wheelchair accessible. But it would have to be, right, or else that's discrimination.

Just get in your spare fighter jet.

You airforce guys have those after you leave the service, right?

Oh...wait...

Just use a drone. You've gotta have at least one lying around.

Or we can not send death threats at all? That's a good goal here.

That would be nice, yes, but that wasn't exactly Magnum's point.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

What Brovo said. A lot of people seem to think that they need to divulge their character's life story the moment they meet someone. Name and rank, that's all you really need for an intro.

The pyromancy OP stuff also fits Dark Souls in my opinion, not everything is going to be balanced/the same effectiveness. Realistically-

I'll just reiterate a post I remember from old-guild about "realistic" things in games/rps

"Realistically.
Undead.
Wat."

In a game like Dark Souls, where the purpose is actually to get the player to have fun and be satisfied with their progress, instead of being punishingly difficult, balance is of the utmost importance, and "realism" has limited place within its world.

The Early items is honestly something the game was purposely designed for. Considering no attempts were made with patches to cut players off it's safe to assume the developers intended people to be able to do that if they tried hard enough.

Going back to "how the game is really meant to be played", the developers put in a level system for a reason: For you to level up. They want you to level up as you progress through those areas. So in later areas, they obviously intend for you to be a higher level than people in, say, the Undead Parish, and NOT be able to invade them with your +15 Infinity Blade of Pwnage. Besides, that "No patch, fair game!" argument is just...ugh. You know what else they didn't patch out? Pivot backstabs, which are performed by obfuscation of the lock-on system. Pivot backstabs are backstabs you would never be able to pull off otherwise due to your character's turning speed.

Not only that, but then comes in the problem of patching something like that. How the hell do you "patch" the game in such a way that you can stop people from taking certain weapons to certain areas? Without some kind of level restriction on areas(there's that reference to leveling up again), it can't be done.

not 100% of people would go Day Z in real life. But a lot of people would, even if it doesn't make logical sense it was a lot of people will do out of pure selfishness and greed.

Yes that's actually more than likely. My idealism often gets in the way of my logic.

Magic Magnum said
but don't go calling an entire community dishonest/ignorant simply because you dislike the game premise.

Uh. I didn't. Quit putting words in my mouth, you're hurting my jaw.

As for Dark Souls, griefing or not raiding players give benefits. It gives souls, it gives humanity. It is exactly what the game is designed for people to do.

I obviously didn't make myself clear enough. When I talk of griefers, I mean people who abuse game mechanics/pacing (the disgusting imbalance that is pyromancy scaling, getting powerful gear from a later area and then using them on people that are no where near being able to get to said area) and glitches (bottomless box glitch) to essentially pick on people. They don't care about the souls or humanity they get; that stuff isn't even on their mind when they go about their antics. They just want to fuck with people who don't have a chance in hell of beating them.

Honestly, you're attacking players for playing a game the way it's meant to be played. If you don't like said game that's totally fine, but you not liking a game doesn't mean the people who do play it are now wrong.

This part is subjective in its entirety. Who says your/others way of the playing the game is correct, and who says mine is? People who share the same opinions. Keyword: opinions.

I think it's against the spirit of the game to amp yourself up so you can get an unfair advantage against other people, because the game is meant to be challenging but fair. You may not think the same way, and while I may not like your view, I can't exactly do much to make you see everything my way(besides that'd be boring. What would off-topic be without stupid subjective arguments like these?)

Also, I LOVE Dark Souls. It was my first souls game, and I have fun playing it to this day. I will also say this again: Stop putting words in my mouth. I never said everyone that plays Dark Souls is playing it wrong. I just disagree with the bad apples of the community who go out of their way to essentially bully other players.

What video games are you looking forward to being released?
