Dark Souls 3

I couldn't get into the first dark souls. Ignored the second, but this 3rd one I dunno... I watched Robbaz play it on his stream and I kinda want it.

I still need to finish Fallout 4 and Witcher 3 first

Don't bother with fallout 4, tbh. Once you play witcher 3 you will question Bethesda's ability to make open world games.

i am on media black out for this one... but i did peak at the average review scores and am glad that they are high

Weirdly the Dark Souls 3 hype has made me want to play The Witcher 3 so I bought that today haha. Now I just need to read a good (but succinct) story catch-up.

I'm really struggling to finish fallout 4. All the factions suck.

I just felt no pacing or progression at all. Every area is quite bland, characters aren't interesting, power armour/cores mechanic is one of those gotta save them till I need them things that negates power armour, base building is clunky with half the stuff locked away behind perks, same for weapons and armour crafting, perk system is just rubbish and un-intuitive.

When a power armour/core mod that removes most of the power armour and removes the core requirement, a complete change to the perk system and a way to remove settlement building come out I don't think I want to play another minute. Also removal of the auto leveling of enemies that might actually make areas of the world feel like a threat early but a cake walk later (ie some sense of progression).

Fallout 3 was great and skyrim was pretty great (progression/pacing is a huge issue in that game too) but fallout 4 just falls flat when surrounded by the current open world games. Fallout 4 actually feels like a step back from the last 2.

The old engine seems to be held together with duct tape along with a fresh coat of paint. Worked for skyrim and f3 but falls flat in this generation. Was fun for a while, but got old fast.

Anyway, heard ds3 have some perf problems. Apparently it's running on some super old tech from the ps1 era. Putting the player on a single flat plane in the world, gives you 80fps as a starting point etc

I'm guessing it's still on the phyre engine. Sony at the very least does frequently update it.

Anyways I broke down and ordered by copy as well as scheduled some vacation days to play it

5 days fellas !!!!

I can't wait !!!!

Today is the day! 6PM Est on Steam!

Man, I'd have this if my damn insurance company wasn't so damn slow to get my sickness benefits out the door! Currently living on scraps thanks to that crap. God damnit, Försäkringskassan!

Hey I just had an awesome idea, it's a long shot but ... someone gift me the game!

I need to find a way to get the kind of food poisoning that makes me too sick to go to work but not sick enough to stop me from playing DS3.

It's a delicate balancing act.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it runs like crap

Another brilliant PC port?
