No, it's not. Because I played Bloodborne when it was God of War DarkWatch Dante's Inferno Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Castlevania: Lament of Innocence The Darkness Devil May Cry another gothic third-person action-adventure. Oh yeah, and multiplayer characters from The Darkness II could turn into a murder of crows and all these other things. So, bleh.

None of these games are like the Souls series, be it Demon's, Dark, or now Bloodborne. Most of those are very "A to B" plot driven beat-em ups versus the more deliberately paced exploitative game play of the former. You sound incredibly misinformed.

If Bloodborne and FFXV come to the PC, I will have very little reason to watch for any PS4 deals. Keep waiting on a $200 or less Wii U. :D

It's a stretch to call Killer is Dead and Deadly Premonition "AAA"...or even just "A".

Zach! Do you hear that? Someone gave us an A! Well done! We should go watch The Breakfast Club to celebrate.

What's that Zach?

Yes, we'll watch Robocop afterwards, too. Of course.

I didn't say I was informed. I said I'd already played these dark, generic, plot-driven beat-em ups before, and hyping the possibility of yet another one being ported over is trivial. But OMG I NAED 2 BY DIS CUZ GAM0R U DUN UNERSTAND?

Maybe it's just 2deep4me. I don't own a PS4 like you do.

I don't own a PS4 either, just play them on on my PC and PS3. And you're comparison is inaccurate to said titles. It's not that you need to buy it to understand, simply that your statements are false.

Weird quote choice but mostly agree. I had some issues with crowds, where I was getting hit by enemies right beside me that I couldn't see because of camera shenanigans, but I'm glad you've not seemed to face that yet.

EDIT: But yes, I was mostly annoyed by the boss fight on the bridge when I made my original post.

My statements are obviously subjective. MysterD said that it would be better for it to come to PC in the form of a shitty port, then get patched, to which I replied that it doesn't matter if it comes to PC at all because the same mechanics have already been used in other PC games, as well as in console games from our youth. I played Dark Souls, and I wasn't enamored with it like everyone else. It's my opinion that I've already played these games and through them experienced the essentials of Bloodborne already. I don't need to play it, as I can conceptualize what the game is like already; I feel the same way about Borderlands TPS after having played the first two. Rumors are all you have on it even being released, with nothing but an Amazon.fr listing and no official word from publishers. It's your right to love and devote yourself to the series and the prospect of a PC version if your life revolves around gaming, but I don't hype what I consider to be trivial speculation. I don't hype anything petty, for that matter. And I don't understand why people get involved in insignificant events, like "Pokemon of Duty for the Playbox 720 gets released in a date divisible by three" and "Shaq beats the Patriots in penalty shots to win this year's Indy 500" when these frivolities are endlessly reoccurring.

Basically, it's not a good sign if the thing you're most looking forward to is a PC port of Bloodborne.

You guys seriously got all that from a MysterD post? Of course he is going to say 'I wish [insert console game here] had a PC port for $5 ;) '

That's what he does. He's MysterD.

I'll take that as "I don't respect other people's opinions" and add you to my ignore list.

Not that I expect you to post anything, not even when you redeem Steam key drops. Filthy lurker.

Yeah. If only I had the forethought to stock up on CSGO or TF2 keys.  If I had some on hand, I'd be able to make a quick trade over on steam trades. But because of the one week post-purchase trade lock-out, I'm screwed.

Not to dig deeper into an already stupid discussion, though that's exactly what I'm going to do; but the King's Field/Souls/etc. games really have next to nothing to do with the kinds of games you listed, mechanically speaking. Love them, hate them, feel completely indifferent towards them, whatever; and you're perfectly entitled to group them with Devil May Cry or God of War or My Little Pony: Pinkie Pie's Party in your mind if you like. Just don't expect anybody remotely familiar with the games, regardless of whether they like them or not, to understand where you're coming from if you start talking about them in relation to those games.

It also seems kind of weird to get down on people for speculating about games in a forum about games. I mean, if you feel like there's too much spam in the Steam deals thread, that's one thing, I guess, but whatever.

It was just a retort to the lurker, but I do mean it to a lesser extent. And while nobody remotely familiar can understand where I'm coming from purely from saying the series is like DMC, it is implied that I've played enough games where I can say, "oh, this feature reminds me of this other feature from this other game." Really, something wholly unique piques my interest more than a relentless onslaught of enemies you defeat with button combos. Mooby hates indies, Foxhack likes furries, MysterD wants everything ported to PC, and I'm a douchebag who doesn't bother make precise analytical distinctions of inconsequential worth to random people. And I must be losing it, because I'm writing all this to explain myself for no reason.

For the Steam group probably.

I started to see if I could get it somewhere until I realized I already had them.

I feel like I should Carlmundo Foxhack games out of my account just so I can feel like I scored a price mistake.

Yeah.. I'd feel bad about owning them, except I played through all of them. I don't know why anyone wouldn't have the RE games at this point.

$10 would be a pretty good deal for it actually

EDIT: I see someone on ST selling for $12, which isn't terrible, so it might be possible to get a decent deal on it. Anyone trying to get it for $5 isn't gonna have much luck though.

I was willing to go as high as nothing because unless you had an insider friend who picked up a copy for you without you even asking, trying to find a copy of a glitched game at not-super-inflated-marked-up prices is like... something equally difficult.

Because, like already said, the From Software games are nothing like the hack and slash games you listed. Almost all the games you listed are in the same general genre, which is separate from the From Software games like Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. But whatever, if you want to argue that they're similar genres because they have a random mechanic that's similar, you are free to incorrectly do so. But hey, I guess I'll lump all games where you kill something all in the same genre too and argue that I'm smart.

FTFY.

Of course I want everything on the PC - b/c I don't have any consoles! And I have no plans to buy any consoles at this time, either. It's as simple as that.

I still need to work on Dark Souls 1 PC, anyways; and eventually need to buy Dark Souls 2 PC.

For a person like myself who plays only on the PC - yeah, Bloodborne and FFXV hitting the PC would be great.

I think at least right now, FFXV has a better chance of hitting the PC since Square seems intent on porting lots of their stuff to the PC - and been bringing a good deal of FF games here (like FF13-1 and FF13-2), of late.

I'd rather it come here w/ a crap-port than not at all. At least, modders or dev's can fix the game - especially when there are modders like Durante out there, who fixed some major issues w/ Deadly Premonition; Dark Souls 1; and FF13-1. Sure, I'd rather it be a great technical PC port from the jump officially - but, having it ported here in the first place is half the battle.

Plus, the other thing is - if a game requires Steamworks, Steam-count +1. We all know I'm about that Steam-count +1.

About your Borderlands TPS comment - we get tons of games that are very similar to other games, take elements from other games, or have had 10,000 iterations in their series. Just look at Assassin's Creed series and Call of Duty series, if you want to go there. Doesn't mean that they shouldn't get PC versions, IMHO. I can always buy it later cheap and/or play Borderlands TPS (don't own it yet - still need to play BL2 DLC's, which I have most of them); Assassin's Creed Unity (have it, need a better video card first); and COD Ghosts (have it, not interested in another COD at this moment); etc. etc. at a much later date - which is what I plan to do, anyways.

I've been playing Dark Souls this week, it's about the fifth time I've really tried to play this game.

Thread casual plft has been walking me through it, and Mooby has also chimed in with some advice. What strikes me about DS is the how hell you're supposed to figure things out without hours and hours of trial and error.

First time I ever played, I went the "wrong" way and spent two hours in the graveyard.

Last time I played I got quite far thanks to the rather gimped Drakesword (sp?).

Until this week, I'd never found the route to Blighttown, or even headed into the lower Undead Parish thing (where the Capra Demon is).

I *still* don't have a clue how to level stats and at the moment I'm just chucking everything into more hit points.

With most games, I can work out quite quickly whether I'm in the wrong area or not. With Dark Souls, you really don't have a fucking clue.

Tip for beginners: find somebody who knows it well and take their advice. Unless you're a hardened pro (in which case, surely you've played it already?) then you're going to need guidance.

If you step into his (admittedly tiny) field of expertise, he's exceptionally helpful!

Worryingly, the last two games I played are Dark Souls and State of Decay. I need to make sure I avoid Divinity: Original Sin next or else I'm in trouble.

With Dark Souls a big part of it is figuring it out/what to do next. The only part of the game that really aggravated me was how they didn't explain the upgrade or leveling system at all. Try to go w/out a walkthrough as much as possible, but I recommend looking up a guide that explains leveling and weapon/armor upgrading. Upgrading is really important. The Drake Sword is great initially, but around Blighttown it starts to outlive its usefulness, and you need to start using a weapon you've been upgrading, instead. Also you might want to stop putting levels into getting more hit points for now...think about what style of playing you feel most comfortable with and start allocating more points into that area. If you like magic in the game, put more points into intelligence. If you like slower, more powerful weapons, put more into strength. If you like less powerful ones that swing faster, put more into dexterity. Weapons are locked off based on your stats, and most weapons have damage scaling (something like the great club has an "s" rating in strength, meaning you get a significant damage boost based on your strenght rating). It's a little tricky until you get the hang of it, so I really really suggest looking at a walkthrough.

Edit: Also don't try to be a jack of all trades who can dabble in strenght based, dexterity based, and magic based or faith based weapons, you'll just screw yourself. First time playing I would recommend finding out whether you like faster weapons or slower weapons more, build around that and maybe add in enough points to intelligence or faith so that you can either use a buff (although this really isn't necessary at all before ng+) or have access to low level healing spells.

Don't feel bad about the RE price mistake. While it's a good deal for 4 and 5 (for now), 6 has way too much DLC, and who knows if we'll even get the new DLC stuff for 5 or be forced to pay for it.

... RE6's DLC is completely skippable, it's all MP DLC that barely anyone (if anyone) plays anymore. While it's true RE5's DLC is coming to Steam soon, that price mistake was a hell of a deal if you had none of the games. This is coming from someone who actually played the games..

Anyway, I have none of the RE6 DLC and never once have been tempted to buy any of it.

Dark Souls disinterested me within about an hour.  I probably should have just skipped it entirely because "OMG it's SOOOOOO HARD!!!" isn't a selling point for me.  I ain't got time for replaying a fight ten times just to go on to the next brutal fight; I got other shit that needs playing.  But everyone raved about it and started moaning strangely when it came up so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

But I can accept that most people think it's the cat's meow and that, in this instance, I'm like the weirdo who hated Portal, Borderlands 2, Dragon Age Origins or Skyrim.

Yeah I'm the same. Every time I see 2hard4u I just tune out. My Inner Big Fish Grandma ain't got to fo dat. So many indies seem to think that's a huge selling point too. I'll look at generic pixel platformer #3,648 and think 'Hmm I guess it could be interesting maybe kinda sorta' and then see "brutal" and "challenging" and I'm like NEEEEEEXT.

I actually bought DS a while back, even got the limited Edition in a MysterD box shipped in from the UK because it was cheap one time. I suppose I should play it someday just to say I did (after I jump through hoops to patch it because Japan :roll:) because everyone thinks it's the bee's knees, but I'm really not expecting to love it.

I'm expecting I'll need to play like 6 Hidden Object and 4 Match 3 games to cleanse my palate when I'm done.

Weirdo.

Also, watch a couple of let's plays. It's worth it. I was in the same boat which is why I've quit so often.

Finding a decent weapon and upgrading it was the biggest difference-maker for me. Hitting things 7-9 times without getting hit in return isn't something I'm good at nor enjoy.

I'm time-limited as a gamer. I don't have hours to learn and train stuff. I just want to play a decent game at an appropriate level of hardness. DS isn't so bad once you get the hang of a couple of basic concepts.

Punishing? Yes. Rewarding? Yes. For everybody? No.

Edit: for clarification, Motoki responded while I was replying. And you're both weirdos.
