So, I'm just wondering if anyone has played this or intends to, or has any thoughts on it?
I haven't played the series in a long time myself... the one I was most familiar with was the original Demon's Souls, which I had quite awhile before it came out in the US (yay, imports), didn't play the first Dark Souls all that much, didn't play number 2 at all because screw it, but decided to pick up number 3 just.... because. I'm bored out of my mind, the only upcoming releases I'm interested in are Doom and Stellaris (and the indie scene is abnormally dull right now), and I need something to occupy at least some of my extreme amounts of free time until then. And there isn't really anything preventing me from buying anyway.
So, going to fire it up here shortly for the first time, will probably post some initial thoughts on it afterwards. Well, to a point. I've no intention of engaging in the game's extremely irritating PVP and couldn't possibly care less about co-op (which will bother friends of mine, but if they don't like it, well, tough) so I intend on just keeping the online stuff turned completely off. So THAT bit, I'll have no thoughts on, because it can go jump off a cliff. I seem to recall that in the older games you could remain online, but essentially "opt out" of PVP by not activating a certain special item, but I'm told you cannot do that in this one, because sigh, so.... yeah, screw that.
And yes, I know responses to that sort of thing are often "git gud", but me being the way I am, I don't care and will do what I like. I don't really understand why people say things like that.
But yeah, any thoughts on this one? I've certainly heard about the game on the other forum I go to, but... suffice it to say, this is the only place where I'd possibly get discussion about something like this that isn't braindead or just annoying.
And now, with that, I'm off to stab things and probably manage to walk off of cliffs a really inordinate amount of times. I'm very skilled at that bit, you see.
