Vinny's Demon's Souls Quick Look is what got me into it, too. I was drawn to it almost immediately. I imported it, like, five minutes into the video.

From Software's games inhabit two aspects that drew me into the medium of games in the first place.

• A mysterious story that the player can figure out on their own terms. Not forcefed through non-interactable dialog or cutscenes. I grew up playing Adventure games, CRPGs and then Immersive Sims when they popped up. Demon's had a lot in common with those. Going through a space and learning its history by looking at the environment, picking at nooks and crannies and discovering important objects.
• A seemingly insurmountable obstacle that the player may overcome on his own terms. By picking from a myriad of options. I enjoy games much more that let me do that through means other than combat but... There aren't a lot of those. In combat focused RPGs I almost always go for the playstyle with the exponential power curve. Starting slow but ending up over-powered. I picked the royalty class and beat Demon's as a magical glass cannon. And then again with a dex build. And then again and again. Everyone of those playthroughs felt totally different. It's why I'll probably never play Sekiro again. I liked it very much but there's nothing to dig my cerebral teeth into there, no build variety or problem-solving other than "parry good, hit good, stay in that ass".

Edit: Oh, and I just love role-playing. Inventing characters and expressing them through the means given to me is so much fun. (I love Austin and Rob's XCOM2 run on waypoint for that reason. Just a quick shoutout.) For example, I made a snooty Mr. Moneybags-type in Bloodborne. I picked clothes that fit the mold, ending up with a white scarf, tophat, monocle and twirly mustache. He only used the Threaded Cane. As a real Gentleman should.

Reading this thread really makes me want to reinstall DS3...

@49th: Sorry to hear you had to go through that. I hope it's all uphill from here. Get well soon! 🙂🤞

@brumlow: I have a spar Sobble and a Deino if you still need them.

Also wanted to bump this thread, because that 6iv Larvitar is burning a hole into my box!!

Hey there! There doesn't seem to be much interest judging by the number of posts in this thread, buuuut I'm back on my bullshit breeding 5iv Pokemeans even though Game Freak made it very easy to get the best Pokemon you want by just grinding your way there. Instead I'm grinding for IVs which....

Look, does anyone want some female 5IV adamant Hawluchas with Unburden or not?

Gonna breed my way through the egg groups and maybe update this post with what I got if there's interest.

Edit: All of these are 5 IV supporting its nature

• Hawlucha, adamant, 3 2 female with Unburden
• Noibat, timid, 1 female with Infiltrater, 1 female with Frisk
• Wingull, bold, 2 female with Hydration
• Axew, jolly, 1 female and 3 male mit Mold Breaker
• Goomy, modest, 2 female with Sap Sipper
• Larvitar, adamant, 4 male with Guts (1 has 6IV!!!)
• Deino, timid, 3 male
• Jangmo-o, naive, 1 female with Bulletproof
• Scorbunny, jolly, 1 female
• Sobble, timid, 1 female, 1 male

I need exclusives from Sword other than the two dragon lines, starters other than Sobble and I would love some Hidden Ability Pokés.

I thought it was just a joke about Leesa Mattresses? That's Leesa dot com slash bombcast. Edit: And jacking off obviously. Don't go over the mattress with a blacklight when you get yours.

I "rage quit" REVII on hardsauce mode a few days ago. Couldn't beat the first boss in the attic. I read somewhere that of the 27 bullets you get for that fight you would have to land 24 headshots to make it. I tried kiting and axing after running out of bullets but it's just such a grind and no fun at all. Put an hour into it and then uninstalled the game. Which is a fucking shame because I loved my first play through the game and would love to do a second on hard.

Hey guys! Still got a few 5IV Pokemon left.

• Adamant Wimpods with Aqua Jet
• Timid Cutieflies with Moonblast and Baton Pass
• Relaxed and Brave Dhelmises with 0IV in Speed
• Relaxed Dewpiders but I will put some more work into them
• Bold Mareanies with Haze and the Hidden Ability Regenerator

And the best thing? They're freeeeeeeee! I don't want anything from you! Maybe a Moon Lycanroc..... I will also take all of your exclusives if you don't need them.

Edit: Oh, and I take requests for IV breeding. I would like to concentrate on new Pokemon for now, though. Also gonna start on Alolan Marowak and Alolan Exeggutor for Trick Rooms.

@gamerchicck: I'll take a girl, too, if you give me the option ^^ but I'll take any old popplio you have laying around.

@gamerchicck: sure! Do you want a boy or a girl ^^ I'll take a popplio if you have one. I haven't traded in the new games, yet. Just a heads up. I have no idea how this is gonna work.
