Just look at options menu right now—there's an option to turn off blood. I always thought that was hilarious. The game barely even has any blood, yet there's still an option to turn it off if you're that squeamish.
is gore a gameplay element
yes or no please
No. It's not even gore—just a little blood.

Tbh the basic plot of Dark Souls is the best description of the franchise. Demon's Souls was the first flame, and each subsequent game burned shorter and less bright. Not to say they are bad, but it's a good thing the series is "over" (as much as a franchise can be nowadays).
what do you think of my pause solution
I'm not against being able to pause, I just think it would have to be done in a way that keeps the tension. One thing that being unable to pause really helps do is reduce the helpfulness of walkthroughs, since someone can't just alternate pauses between the youtube video and the game. Niche example, I know, but being unable to pause is nice in some aspects.
meh I think if some baby casual wants to do something like that, they should be able to. It only makes it all the more satisfying for those of us who didn't need guides to beat the game without one. I'm here for the casuals. Just look at options menu right now—there's an option to turn off blood. I always thought that was hilarious. The game barely even has any blood, yet there's still an option to turn it off if you're that squeamish. If the game didn't have that option, and some player was like, "This game should have an option to remove the blood," how do you think the average Dark Souls fan would react to that? And yet, we have the option, and the game hasn't been ruined by people who don't want to see blood.

theres no reason to include a pause feature in offline i agree, quitting to menu is practically the same
no, it should, because there's plenty of situations where it would be so nice to be able to pause
like, if you have to answer to the door in the middle of a boss fight or something—quitting out doesn't help in this situation, because you could easily get killed before you're even able to
pausing removes that problem, and for anyone who still wants their precious "sense of danger," i posted a solution to that above
forgot to add outside of bosses to quitting to menu <.<
so you shouldn't be able to quit out of boss fights at all? why, that's just dumb either way, bosses aren't the only thing—maybe i'm fighting a strong enemy, and the phone rings, and i don't have time to quit out—why shouldn't i be able to pause here

Thats a weird issue. But i guess if you view games like that then eh
he's not being serious he's just mocking me The game really should have a pause feature, though, or at least take up my solution

I'm 11-hours in to a WWI podcast, and also planning to buy a dozen or so books on the subject. After that I'll probably jump into Napoleonic Wars stuff, even if that seems a bit backwards.
It's all about finding something that you're interested in.
maybe, but if i want to have a well-rounded base of knowledge on world history, i'm gonna have to dip my toes into some boring shit, and i'm sure you have too i just don't know how to deal with that the only thing i'm super interested in is the holocaust, which i feel like i already know a great deal about, minus a few important spots, like "why did people listen to hitler's BS about the 'master race' when he himself was not even part of it," among other things questions like that are impossible to google because nobody can just give you a straight answer, it's always a short novella about irrelevant stuff you don't care about, but is somehow connected to the answer in some lowkey important way idk, it's really tedious

I don't like pure action games
From what I've played, it has a good atmosphere, but that doesn't really forgive the hack-and-slash stuff for me (yes, there's more strategy, but the basis is combat)
hack-and-slash isn't really what dark souls is about
it's a game that promotes being slow, cautious, defensive, and methodical, whereas hack-and-slash games are more mindless, flashy, and they reward you for button mashing—the sort of thing that'll get you killed in dark souls
I knew you'd take issue with that phrasing, I know it's not like Diablo or anything
I'm just saying it's a pure action game, there's nothing else to do. Just not for me
even in JC, I try to take over bases and such totally spies style where I use wit and cleverness and try not to kill anyone
i'd classify it as an adventure game, like zelda, but with an in-depth combat system and RPG elements but all right, it's k that you're not interested—like i said, i figured you wouldn't be anyway

once you get parrying and rolling down it's pretty easy though
anything is easy when you master the game's mechanics

Voting Republican is always a good choice.

anyone with an IQ over 60 shouldn't watch sports
Or lets plays. They're both cancer.
99% of the time i'd agree but there are some great personalities out there that can make a let's play pretty entertaining sports aren't even interesting from a gameplay standpoint

On another note, if you want some interesting history stuff Verb, Extra Credits has a series on it with stuff I never even knew/I thought would be interesting. It's not always accurate to a tee but the general idea of it all is. Plus the animations make it interesting, and it's not bogged down in super series music and a deep voiced narrator.
If you want I could recommend you some
Sure

There you go. If you wanted something in Roman times, choose the Punic Wars. If you want one on Japan, Sengoku Jidai is pretty cool on the characters he dives into, but the one he apparently put the most work into is Justinian and Theodora, which is basically the Eastern Roman Empire, after the West had fallen.
The hidden bonus I enjoyed was The Broad Street Pump. It's about John Snow (I know) and how one man more or less changed how cities were built. It's a shame they don't teach this more in schools.
this is pretty cool, thanks

i was in the shower the other day when i thought of the perfect solution though
in the options menu, there would be an option labeled "enable pause"
when enabled, you can hit select at any time to pause the game
but for any silly casual faggots out there who want to maintain "muh sense of danger," you have the option to disable pause, so that when you hit select, it does absolutely nothing—so your pissbaby purist desires can be retained
whether or not the option to pause would be enabled or disabled by default is up in the air—personally, i would prefer to have it enabled by default, because i typically prefer to play with default options on my first playthrough of any game, and i obviously want to be able to pause—but i'm sure some faggot dark souls purist would want to have it the other way
oh, and you would only be able to fiddle with the option when playing offline (obviously)
this solution is literally perfect, because it appeases both parties—i can't imagine anyone disagreeing with it
