Grelik

@uberexplodey: Great thanks for the invite!

Hello @rupertthebear if it's possible to invite me I'd definitely be interested in joining the duders. Been Playing a few days now and enjoying it quite a bit.

edit: I suppose my in-game name would be important: it's "Gevlik"

I played 5-6 hours as my normal quality build (longsword and shield medium/light armour) Then decided I'd give pyromancy a go just to see if I enjoyed it. Restarted with a pyromancer, and man. It just wasn't fun. The casting is so slow, that coupled with the fact that I find a lot more enemies and bosses are more aggressive and fast in this game vs. previous DS games made it a really tedious experience. That with the fact that a lot of casts whiffed because an enemy strafed a bit to the right or left was also annoying. I'm sure it gets better once you can increase your casting speed and get a few more spells, but until then, magic is pretty boring and tedious in my opinion.

That's a "no" for me.

I really liked Demons souls.

I loved Dark souls, played the absolute shit out of it.

Didn't make it through DS2... I started and it felt pretty great, but eventually it just lost me. I tried multiple times too. Tried it on console and on eventually again on PC.

Never played Bloodborne.

My story is probably the same as many others. I simply followed Jeff and the crew here from GameSpot.

I originally was considering trying for the solo legendary achievement, but after playing through the first level on legendary I just decided "Meh, I'm good." It simply isn't fun. Sit back as far away as possible, crouching behind cover and taking cheap potshots at enemies until you chip away at them enough to die, constantly micro'ing your AI team mates to stay back because they're terrible and will just die, all while doing your best not to get dropped nearly instantly yourself.

Normal is so much more fun, when you can actually get into the fray, shoulder charging and diving from the sky to crush the enemy, even if it makes the game really easy.

Destiny is probably that game for me right now. I can just log in, do some dailies, knock out a strike or two. I really just enjoy playing it and find the world/art direction exactlyto my tastes.

But then I can also PvP or raid if I'm looking for more thought provoking gameplay.

I liked Peters more somber, serious tone. I feel Nolan's ghost is too cheery.

All the original redone dialogue is basically a wash as to who did it better, which I think speaks more to the writing/directing. That and the fact that the original game was kind of cobbled together just to get the product out there after all the drama that went down at Bungie.

The new TTK dialogue all sounds much better, and North does a great job with it, though I think that's mostly because Bungie actually had their shit together for this one.

Only times I've gotten an S ranking is when I've been caught early on, and said "fuck it" and just shot my way through.

Time is such a massive factor in your rank that basically sprinting go the objective. Killing everything that engages you as fast as possible tends to get you a higher ranking than a slow, meticulous stealth run.

But yeah, every S ranking I've received so far I was completely surprised because I fucked up, was detected and finished the mission with Quiet on "cover me" and shooting my way out.

Hah. I never played PT, but when I came across that tape playing, I definitely stopped and listened to it, and thought it seemed out of place.
