Please stop feeding him. It was vaguely amusing at first, but it's just annoying now.

Hey, I was the first to say this. I can be a hypocrite now if I want.

You should literally be able to beat everything by standing there and mashing square. Games should be like Arkham City, where it is one button to win.

You can beat Pokemon by bashing one button over and over again...

.. not that I'm defending Arkham City, because those are some of the worst games I have ever played in my entire life, barring obvious others like Superman 64, Big Rigs, or ET.

Man, they really did step it up for the port. Framerate is a constant 60fps on max settings, and loading times are something like 90% faster. You still have some oddities like controller prompts when playing on mouse and keyboard, but aside from that it's a much smoother and prettier experience than on consoles.

It usually is when you're playing on a high end PC.

Yep, even my laptop runs the game nicely on the processor graphics, which isn't surprising as the game isn't exactly Crysis. They've picked up their game this time, the PC version is bloody great and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Wot. Dodging is when your character rolls, it's an ability you actually have to use. Strafing is not dodging.

Dodging is the act of avoiding something. What you're referring to is a "dodge roll" not dodging in general.
Cue the pedantic portion of the evenings festivities.

I only remember "you can dodge everything therefore bad game".

That's a pretty terrible memory. That, or poor reading comprehension.

It probably is compared to my PS3.

The Pursuer is kicking my ass because I'm a slow knight and I can't parry for shit.

That's your fault for not playing a dodge build.

Exactly right. You need to put more points in dodge and rolls.

You guys have a special strategy for the 3 sentinels? I solo one but the other two are a problem. I could probably get it in a few more tries but taking 2 at once seems inefficient.
