I watched some of a speed run of Dark Souls today, which was my first introduction to it. Looks pretty cool. It sounds like there a few different development paths which are cool.

I liked that they added a tutorial section. The game also runs great on PC, I can actually play it without using a controller. Also appreciate the hints warning me of a giant hole.. right in front of a giant hole. Heaps of people dying to easy stuff as well.

Smacked the first hippo thing and saved at the second bonfire. I guess I'll go forest of fallen giants next since they only other way I could find had a scary looking miniboss holding a corpse.

I am not Rushy. I fully realize doped runs are terrible depictions of true gameplay.

Speed runs are the optimum way to view how a game works. Not only that, but as implied by the name, they are the fastest way to garner such information as well.

They're wrong though. I just killed the dragonrider without dodging once. Even if dodging has been nerfed, it's not a strategy you apply to everything and an ability you use all the time.

If you avoided being attacked, you were dodging.

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.

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

Cue the pedantic portion of the evenings festivities.

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

Suddenly all of your whinging makes even less sense. Are you seriously saying that the encouragement to avoid damage is bad game design?

Any game that doesn't have SCV's that you can rush with is badly designed.

No, that's never been what I have been saying. You should read the argument again before you go about trying to put words in my mouth.

Vindictus · « **Reply #438 on:** April 26, 2014, 05:51:47 AM »

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

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