Students don't want to do their best work, they want to pass
Especially on the final
This is college, kiddo. Kids may just want to pass in high school--but in college, you literally can't afford not to do your best. You'd have to be an idiot to just want to pass.
someone's a freshman
Nope. Second semester sophomore.
we both know that credits don't count in this context

I don't buy games often enough to do that.
1. VNs.
not even video games.
2. Puzzle games. Including platformers. Including survival horror.
They are either very abstract like Tetris or Bejeweled or they are infinitely unreplayable.
3. FPS.
Death of arena shooters is death of any reason to keep this competitive.
4. MMOs.
Running and farming.
5. Simulators.
Jokes that stop being funny after 5 minutes.
Rogue-likes and MOBAs are the future, fam.

Anyone that calls themselves a "Gamer Girl" is an attention whore seeking bitch that doesn't give 2 fucks about video games whatsoever.
Actual women that play games only want to play the fucking game. Gamer Girls just want attention from guys, and on top of that with the way girls are treated online in game lobbies and shit....
Fucking disgusting. Its one of several reasons why I don't play online or talk to anyone anymore with mics. People are savage.
>op refers to a group of people with a dumb name
>react angrily to that group for the dumb name
Oh so this thread isn't about Gamer Girls.
Okay then. Here is my response: Because most guys think with their dick. Some are so pathetic that they will hit on them and make creeper noises. I've seen a lot of videos on this and by god it is massively cringeworthy. Shit like that makes me want to just kill myself.
There are times where I'm embarrassed to even be human because of this.
ur being ironic right now right am i the autist for being unsure

If "drastically altered" means that you recognize that the character is attractive. I don't have trouble separating a character's personality from their body, I don't know if other people do.
Nobody said "drastically altered," either.
Sorry, "significantly impacts".

These carefully crafted choices developers make about camera angles and clothing significantly impact how players think about and relate to these characters. I don't get this. What about sexulaization disables the player from being able to identify with a character? And how does it alter the way they think about the character? Seems a prerequisite for this to apply is for the player to be misogynistic already.
She never said it "disables" the player from doing anything--merely that it significantly impacts the player's perception of the character. Whether you want to believe that's true is up for debate, but I don't consider it a horribly controversial assertion.
Either way--it's difficult to argue the fact that they deliberately designed the game to be that way, and that's where the real issue lies, in my opinion.

Basically just practice parrying anything with a spear, just shield out the rest and poke.
I'd like to know his current build so we can kinda know how he's going to play. I usually play the somewhat quick lad with heavy hitting weapons, kind of a best of both worlds thing.
Usually, in any game that allows you to boost your stats, I try to make my character a jack-of-all-trades, even if it's not necessarily a good idea to do so.
Upgraded weapons are more relevant than scalings in PvE don't worry about being spread thin stat wise, just invest in your weapons.

Sex: Male ("Abilities not affected." I appreciate that heavily.)
funny u said this because ull never see anyone use female models speedrunning DS1 because of a very specific glitch used to duplicate consumable items. for some reason it only works with the male model, and being able to dupe an item that basically provides free souls for leveling while the runner is skipping 80% of the game is essential also there are some armor set aesthetic differences, sometimes favoring male in coolness, sometimes favoring female in coolness one male set had a hood while the female didn't and in another set the female set had a pretty raven feather scarf while the male did not #sexism

Oscars have gone to black actresses and actors plenty of times before. There really weren't many worthy performances this year. The notion of nominating a Star Wars actor is laughable.
You should always expect to see whites over-represented in the acting field. Specifically, Jewish whites, too. There are just way more white roles than black roles.
You could get into why that is, but it is the state of things.
Also because good drama programs in high schools are going to be available to richer demographics. Except Asians. They're too busy being pressured into STEM for that shit.

>implying it won't cost you money and devalue the education you paid for
couldn't this literally be said about even basic education back in times where only the affluent would have any type of formal schooling? is ubiquitous education really bad in the long term?

Yeah but that doesn't make them flaws. They may alienate some people but it was definitely a daring concept that has worked, and fostered an online competitive community.
But I guess that's the everlasting problem of trying to assess media. Certain things will appeal to different people. You can only ever truly judge complete failures like Sonic 06 where things aren't even functional.

Just because the game gives you the ability doesn't give you the right. I can ball up my fist and swing it in whatever direction I want, but my right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins.
Not in the boxing ring. Dark Souls is one big boxing ring, with NPCs and a story. I think you really need to reconsider what the purpose of these functions are before saying they are flawed. They're only as flawed as a pair of scissors are for cleaning your ears. You're looking at them wrong. Games are supposed to entertain, yes. And dying and challenges aren't immediate fun. But being able to overcome challenges and adversity in a pessimistic aesthetic is what distinguishes art from Angry Birds.

Would solely having NPC invasions not balance that out? Why must there be human player invasions? Why is it so horrible to have player invasions be taken out in favor of a consensual "accept/decline" type duel system?
No because the AI aren't advanced enough and players can be far more inventive with their builds and play styles that they overall produce a much more diverse experience than scripted bots would. If from could have put in bots that were indistinguishable from players they would have. The point of a bot is to emulate some asshole invading you. If that is fine with you then I do not understand why you choose to let the game creators fuck you over in an identical way rather than get fucked over by a player and at least have someone get some enjoyment out of the situation.

« on: January 14, 2016, 01:10:54 PM »
The benefits exist specifically to offset the risk of invasion.
Bad design.
If invasions were comprised of NPC characters alone, then it wouldn't be a problem--it would be like a random encounter in your average RPG. But instead, we have real human beings actively fucking each other over for "fun."
Awful.
Everyone should hate that.
Why is an NPC invasion different if the designer intentionally put it in to thwart you for being human? The devs would want to have made the NPCs act as human as possible, that's what AI strive to do. Is it because you agree there is a degree of consent to surprises and unknown challenges when you choose to put the game in and play it. Do you just dislike the fact that players have freedom to win a zero-sum game? A definitive winner and loser in exchanges are sort of ubiquitous to competitiveness. And Dark Souls is a competitive environment. Like Flee said, there are trade-offs for advantages in games. Humanity gives you luck, buddies, and estus. But also risks intruders. Chaos Weapons shouldn't get their max damage without their 10 humanity to add risk. No one should get free reign to summon allies without suspecting enemies.

being lost after anor londo is just a bunch of backtracking until you can find the damn new areas
Spoiler They show you what the new areas are in the cutscene, though. You clearly see the tempels and red glow of the demon ruins and the darkness around the Tomb of the Giants one. It's pretty common to come across them before the Lordvessel unlocks them.
Izalith was the only I encountered before.
