Today I Learned what Dark Souls is. I am completely ignorant about the whole gaming world, and now the rest of you have learnt the abysmal depths of my ignorance
It's one of those series that's good but the fanbase overhypes it so much that it becomes a bit disappointing in comparison to what you might expect.
 
I never played dark souls

I'm more of a turn based guy myself
I fucking hate games that demand my entire attention for a long period of time with 0 breaks. Like yea I used to love competitive fps games as a kid but I don't have the ability to just commit to not doing anything at all for the next half an hour. And I've just grown more and more hateful of competitive games in general as I've gotten older. So many of them only feel good to win, not to play.

Ds1 has aged pretty badly imo. DeS has also aged badly and it's even worse because you either need to deal with the original pretty bad graphics or even worse buy a ps5. Ds2 aged pretty good but no one liked it in the first place, it's gotten better with age because the main reason why people didn't like it was because it was only a 6/10 in their series that at the time was two 8/10s or so. Ds3 is the best by far. It's still a solid 8/10 but it's one of those things that you kinda need someone to give you a brief run down of what the game expects from you, not to walk you through but to explain the mechanics because the game does quite honestly an unforgivably bad job of explaining it on it's own. Bb is ps exclusive so no one cares. Sekiro is actually really fun and probably my favourite but that's an entirely different game, it's literally a rhythm game with a really elaborate weeb skin, completely different genre. And er everyone complains about being bloated and feature crept. If you took the stereotype of a souls game and then slapped it into le ubislop open world map.

Basically play ds3 and get someone to explain the mechanics for you. If you like it play the others. Or just fucking suck some cock if you want.
 
Point and clicks is really the only gaming genre there is.
There was this one called Phantasmagoria, it had some real gnarly gore effects. The game was cheesy for 99% of the time then out of nowhere it hits you with a gory face splitting scene that still looks better than most modern effects in modern horror movies

Games that rely on muscle memory bore me. My ape brain just draws dopamine seeing large numbers coming up after i devise an autistic rpg build that melts everything that i'm fighting against. That and extremely micromanagement games like Jagged Alliance 2 with the 1.13 mod, Starsector, Quasimorph etc...

Needless to say i don't talk about games IRL because no one likes the genres i do

I remember me and a friend stealing his brothers copy of this, turning the blinds down and playing it in the afternoon and being big brave boyz, while also freaked out. It was like nine discs or so too. In hindsight, only the first chapter and the last one really works. It's obvious they got restricted by the technology in the middle chapters and there's a lot less to do. But the chase sequence is awesome - I was surprised when I replayed it a year or two ago how much you can actually do as I remembered it far more straight-forward.

I don't either because I don't even fucking know what genres I like. It's just a random selection of fucking everything. Can't pick one category to play as a game and can't pick one category to fuck either.

Ds2 was, is and always will be peak. Poise actually matters unlike the rollslop fest that is Ds3. It is the antithesis of Sekiro and since I suck at that game Ds2 has to be peak.

If you have a buddy, I recommend playing Split Fiction. My partner and I recently finished it and had a great time. We played the other two entries from the studio before and I wondered if they could actually improve on the coop elements and was really surprised by how much interactivity they put into the 3rd game.
 
It was a video about Pedro, from the old school Real World series back when MTV actually used to be interesting. Dude died from AIDs. Not a surprise. It was a decent video because it was all about how he educated the public about having safe sex, or else risking ending up like him.

Then the guy in the video had to ruin it by saying "queer." SMH.
