Excellent soundtrack, unique premise and solid game design, but overall an underwhelming game that just wasn't my thing.
honestly the only reason i love it is because i get to tell a video game character that i don't like anime, and reject her when she asks me to watch one

just beat the true pacifist route blind after about 9 hours of gameplay
8/10--it truly is a game that everyone should play, especially fans of rpgs
to put it another way: if i were to rate the game as a story, i'd give it a 10/10, no joke
but it's a video game, so i have to rate it as a video game--it loses points for the first half of the game not being as polished as it could be (graphically, musically, or overall design-wise), a very droll sense of humor that's incredibly hit or miss at times, and a couple of minor-ish gripes that are practically inherent to the genre and can't be helped
the only reason i've tried it just now is because the creator just dropped a free follow-up game called delta rune, and since i love free shit, i had no reason not to get it--but i figured i might as well play the original game first, if this is some kind of sequel
so if for whatever reason you haven't played this by now, try it out, it's only $10 and it has MY endorsement so what other reason do you need

yep, sen's fortress is still one of my favorite areas, so much fun
i'm kicking myself for forgetting to pick the witch's ring, though
Im surprised you like sens fortress.
Im baffled as to why it gets any praise at all in the souls community when its video gamey as hell in an otherwise immersive world.
i think i know what you mean, actually, but i don't think it's so bad in that regard, and i tend to think of immersion as one of the game's secondary appeals anyway i just think it's a lot of fun to go through, especially if you're trying not to get hit

i don't like to think of voting as a civic duty, because of the idea that you can vote while not knowing shit about politics
the civic duty should be to study and stay informed about your area's political issues (or any issues whatsoever) and the candidates who want to solve them, and then maybe vote once you feel 100% confident well that is a separate conversation imo and is more specific to your country where (and I just found this out not too long ago) you guys don't teach civics in high school, which absolutely boggles my mind.
i also don't blame some people in your country for not feeling capable of understanding politics given how shitty your news outlets are. CNN might not be Fox News-tier, but they're fucking horrible in their own right. watching the election tuesday night, i can't tell you how many times i wanted to throw wolfe blitzer off a cliff in a wheelchair.
also i find the "i don't know enough" excuse to be kind of thinly veiled for laziness. if you force people into a booth they'll vote, and if they're truly uninformed then they'll just void their vote.
it's definitely lazy, but like you just said, it's hard to know who to trust these days, and some people just don't have the time nor the energy to sift out the wheat from the chaff in terms of reliable unbiased sources personally, i'm content with the silver lining that a great deal of people who didn't vote were probably morons who had no business voting anyway, and that a not insignificant fraction the people who did end up voting probably should've abstained so i'm not gonna condemn non-voters wholesale when there are indeed valid reasons not to vote only sheer laziness and apathy are inexcusable, but those people aren't gonna vote no matter what

i don't think just anyone should be allowed to vote, either; i think you should have to pass a test of some kind, but that's another subject
congratulations you agree with the Russian bot
i don't agree with it, it agrees with me

people who choose not to vote on the grounds of not knowing enough about the candidates should not get any shit, imo

this is what pisses me off about people who try to argue that souls don't matter in this game
Karmic Justice: 40,000 souls
do i plan on using this? no
do i need it if i want to 100% the game? yes
imagine if some random laggy invader killed me while i was inches away from recovering my shit
why is that something i should be okay with as a game mechanic
i'm playing the game online like everyone wanted me to and i still don't get it
it's like i was always right the whole time or something

okay nvm fuck blighttown still
i just got caught on a pixel on the way to the bonfire, nothing visible was blocking me but i couldn't move anywhere, and i lost 18K souls because of it (i've been grinding for karmic justice)
in fact, all four of the last four deaths i've suffered in the past twelve hours of gameplay have been the game's fault entirely, whether it be lag or just retarded janky shit like that

the description of the challenge was very specific: only talismans are allowed in my right hand"right hand" is an in-game term that specifically refers to the two equipment slots that are labeled as such in the menu; therefore, i am allowed to have other weapons in my left hand (which allows me to do one awkward swing by hitting parry when i don't have a thrusting sword or parrying dagger equipped, which makes fighting enemies in this run not completely impossible) as well as have however many offensive items i please in my five item slots, because even though fire bombs are indeed thrown with the right hand, they don't actually take up either of the two slots that are actually labeled "right hand" this is the generator that i used, for the recordby selecting "masochist" and generating a whole bunch, you can see all the different types of challenges that it offers, and one of the challenges is "No Consumables," with the description "You may not use any consumable items except for Estus Flask." i would personally file firebombs under consumable, and since that wasn't the challenge i was given, it's not the one i'll partake in--if it is to be assumed by default that items like that are banned, then surely the website would've let me know that then again, the website never generates anything like "No Co-op" or "No Summons," which would technically open the door to such things, but i would never actually take advantage of that in a challenge run anyway for my own pride items should be fine, though for comparison's sake, here's the other challenges i got for the remaining difficulty levels: "experienced" - start as knight, forced to use every new item i see, magic is the only upgrade path "veteran" - start as cleric, spears only, SL20 max, no shields, no master key "master" - start as knight, spears only, SL20 max, no shields, no master key, no spells, divine is the only upgrade path "masochist" - start as warrior, greatswords only, SL20 max, no shields, no consumables, and no weapon upgrades all of these are pretty fucking boring, so it's kinda funny how the "casual" run i generated wound up being the most interesting one by far--but yeah, i was never given the "no consumables" one for that, so i don't feel guilty for using them for the sake of argument, we can say that being able to use items in this run is part of what makes it a "casual" challenge i would be willing to try something more extreme, though, like the SL1 challenge, but starting as a pyromancer gives me access to a spell that the first three or four bosses are all weak to, unless i'm supposed to avoid using it (in which case, it becomes an SL1 no magic challenge, which to me is a separate thing)

I was putting off Blighttown for awhile for obvious reasons, but they seem to have fixed it completely.
I actually dislike the Depths more, now. Blighttown is actually kind of fun and interesting to navigate when the frame rate isn't shitting the bed the whole time.

On my normal playthrough, I'm Forest Hunter+2, whatever that means.
The dude in the Eastern Armor is also gone now.
Finally just got indicted by somebody, so I'll know what it's like to be attacked by Darkmoon Blades soon, I guess.

That's hardly a "challenge run". It's extra healing and offensive miracles hit like a meteor.
extra healing that takes an extra billion years, and i cannot use a shield if i want to do any melee damage whatsoever offensive miracles like what the ones that require you to progress a country mile into the game first?

I was dinking around with a challenge run generator for this game. I gave myself one challenge for every difficulty level, which goes from "casual," "experienced," "veteran," "master," and "masochist." Naturally, they're supposed to just get stupider and stupider, but funnily enough, the "casual" challenge wound up being the most extreme one I got: Weapon Type: Talismans
You may use only this type of weapon in your right hand. That's just insane enough for me to actually try out, especially since it'll serve as the perfect opportunity for me to try out miracles with a faith-based build, something I otherwise would never have bothered with. So I started a second file where I'm committing to this challenge, and I'm two bosses in. Thank god for Fire Bombs.

oh and if you like muse so much, i see no reason why you wouldn't like radiohead
any album works, just avoid pablo honey until you've decided you're a fan or not
i'd recommend kid A, a moon shaped pool, or OK computer, as starting points
