It's a souls game so of course it's bad.

It's pretty dark, but it's got soul



three

It's like a 3D Salt and Sanctuary.

All terrible answers. You've met my expectations.

well, it doesn't have VR support.

Garbage game for 2005 people.

Maybe one day they'll make a good souls game.

It's like a 3D Salt and Sanctuary.

So it's pretty much just another Symphony of the Night like?

Edit- dammit

 

[KillerDark]

I really hope we see

Spoiler

Domnhall of Zena

again. Or someone similar.

That would be super cool, would love to see that happen!

 

[mnz]

I'm just joining the stream. Is game good or bad?

It's the Dark Souls of video games

 

[GustyGardens]

I understand the appeal of these games, but I really can't get into 'em. I've tried playing the older ones, but they're just not that fun. I do like the enemy design and music, though.

Is there are story to these games?

Also, I went home last night after watching the Trackmania QL and downloaded the demo. I was excited to play it, but found that it was just okay. Don't think i'll be buying this one. I might look into the track building stuff later.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

yo why didn't anyone tell me that GBEast looks swag with their new desk

 

[stump sock]

lol, the real Dark Souls starts here

 

[Kelas]

The traversable environment in this area has not been particularly interesting, layout-wise. A lot of samey inter-connected sections.

 

[Robaperas]

YOU CRASHED

 

[oti]

Dank Souls 3 too dank

 

[yami4ct]

I hope they get the stability of this PC version up before they actually release it. Hearing about all these crash bugs is just ooof.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Why do they inset the camera feed so far? Seems to me it should be in the corner.

styyyyyyle

 

[stump sock]

this looks like it's about halfway between Demon's and DS1. that's not a bad place to be.

From still has one of the best art design departments going

It's more about lore than story. Item descriptions painting a history for the world, people talking about what's going on etc.

It's not at all uncommon to bounce from Souls games initially only to fall in love with them later (I tried Dark Souls like three times before I stuck with it).

GB stream layouts are always kinda terrible.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I WILL CUT YOU

But you're a desk?

Pretty sure that's not possible.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

styyyyyyle

I'm not a fan! I understand if they don't want it all the way flush with the edge, but it's a bit much as-is.

 

[stump sock]

is the HD stream broken? can only do SD for some reason

 

[oti]

Is this a Resident Evil enemy?

 

[Wunder]

is the HD stream broken? can only do SD for some reason

fine for me.

as someone who touched dark souls and played a handful of hours in DS2 before stopping, this lore talk is very confusing

 

[repeater]

Austin is the new crystal lizard fiend of GB

 

[omgkitty]

For years I've said "Fuck those games" whenever someone brings up the DS series, but damnit I want to play this game.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Watching the trackmania QL and man, it just doesn't feel like a trackmania game without buck bumble and shitty dubstep playing in the background.

And there's no sonic cars.

I popped in the GBU server yesterday. Only eight people on but it was like I never left. I wish there were a way to donate to redcoin to keep that running forever.

 

[Doop]

I don't think they noticed, but when they hit those corpses they popped into pieces. I think they were empty shells.

 

[BUNTING1243]

GB East stream layouts are always kinda terrible.

Fixed that for you, West layouts are brilliant

 

[Kelas]

go back and backstab that guy what the hell

 

[LurkerPrime]

Oh dear. Souls hype just hit me.

Curse you, Giant Bomb!

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Is there are story to these games?

There is a shitload of backstory and lore that you'll never see happen. As far as the player is concerned in the present, there is usually 0 story outside of "you should go do this thing because protagonist reasons."

The only souls game that's resonated with me so far has been Bloodborne. I'm so sad there isn't a 60fps Bloodborne on PC because fuck that game is good.

 

[Megasoum]

Not really... Sometimes their faces wastes way too much screen real estate.

 

[funkystudent]

Got home from work and saw the new GBEast news desk.


Amazing.

 

[mnz]

So...that NX controller was legit? Was I the only believer or what? lol

 

[justjim89]

Why do they call the hub Firelink Shrine if it looks nothing like it?

 

[petethepanda]

Homeward Bones are for jerks.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

So...that NX controller was legit? Was I the only believer or what? lol

it's not that i didn't believe it, just that I can't fathom how nintendo plans on selling you super mario bros again without a dpad.

i mean they CAN but should they?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

So...that NX controller was legit? Was I the only believer or what? lol

I'm in denial. I can't believe that's the final design. We'll see at E3 I suppose.

 

[mnz]

I also still think you might be able to replace the sticks, like the patent said.
Swap the left stick for a dpad, swap the right one for buttons and you got yourself a SNES controller

 

[Incandenza]

Surely they can put some grips on that thing, right? It looks like hand cramp city. Especially if you're pushing an analog stick and not just mashing down on top of it like you would with a SNES controller.

 

[yami4ct]

It's always hilarious to see people calling a thing the worst thing ever with barely an idea how it'll work or without even touching it.

This is definitely a controller that I'll need to get hands on to really judge. If nintendo gets haptic right, they might actually have something really cool. We'll see. I'm not going to call it brilliant or terrible. It's just interesting right now.

I would not be surprised in the slightest if that was not the final casing.

 

[justjim89]

It sure looks silly, but at least they're trying something. Everyone else would probably be fine to leave gamepad design the exact same for the next 20 years. Even when I use one these days, I kinda hate standard dual analogue, 4-shoulder-button controllers. They feel so imprecise and clunky to me.

 

[repeater]

Firelink Shrine isn't a look, it's a feeling.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Yeah, that's kinda my main concern with it. I'm trying to imagine holding it in its current state and I can't really see any way to do it without contorting your hands into a position that would cause cramping after only a few minutes.

While I agree, there's a reason controllers are shaped like they are.

But like I've been saying about everything NX, let's wait for an official response or statement instead of wasting breath with speculation.

 

[funkystudent]

Dark Souls is basically Bioshock.

There is always the chosen one, the first flame and firelink shrine.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Just give me buttons.

Just give me buttons.

 

[petethepanda]

I had been in the "interested in but not necessarily hyped for" camp with DkS3, but after watching for an hour, I have The Itch.

 

[tchocky]

I would not be surprised in the slightest if that was not the final casing.

I think when they first showed off the WiiU the back of the gamepad was flat and they changed it after feedback that it made it harder to hold.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I just don't even understand how that controller is holdable. I feel like it would constantly be slipping down my hands.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Just give me buttons.

Nintendo is trying to make the jazz of controllers.

sometimes, it's all about the buttons you don't press
