Whoa I think we have a philosophical discussion here. What is fake difficulty?
have you fought the four kings in DS1? Would you consider that fake or real difficulty?

What is fake difficulty?you could always read the article i posted about it lollike, if a game has an enemy that kills you in one hit, and the only way to avoid it is by some obscure method, that's fake difficultyit doesn't take skill to dodge an attack, and it doesn't mean you're unskilled if you die a hundred timesit just means you didn't know a piece of useless triviait's difficult to define what "real" difficulty is--you just kinda know it when you see ithave you fought the four kings in DS1? Would you consider that fake or real difficulty? he couldn't get past the tutorial on dark souls one

I died on my first run through, when he jumped down. Then I learned that I needed to run.
offensive? How so? I literally found nothing offensive in that game.

Let's be real thoughInvading undead burg as a fucking dragon at level 5 was some tight ass shit, I've never had that much fun in PVP before
Quote from: Raw Sugar on April 07, 2015, 10:47:31 AMoffensive? How so? I literally found nothing offensive in that game. i'm sick of talking about it, to be honest, but whateverthe game encourages you to fuck players overyou can leave misleading messages on the floor, leading people into trapsand you can invade people and steal their shiti don't find that sort of thing funi don't think anyone should--that's just... asshole behavior
no
you know if you play as a hollow, you only get fucked over by the game and not other players right. Also once you lvl up your gear and player you can go to certain hotspots and invade other people who are waiting to do pvp.

but what if literally nothing i've ever worked hard for in my life was worth it in the end
thats just one of the mechanics that makes Darksouls so enjoyable.

I don't care how long you've played, if you can't kill someone like that after the Asylum, then maybe you just need toSpoilerkeep trying and be patient, you'll learn how to play it and have fun if you work hard.
i mean, if the way you justify getting fucked over is, "you can fuck them over, too!!!" then like...two wrongs don't make a right, sort of thing
