so is there a new consensus on it now that its out, since there was a bit of a "hey guys previews say its shit" vibe going on a few days ago?
pretty much, i heard some not so nice things about the bosses but so far this been incredibly maze like, with like 5 or 6 bonfires and tons of shortcuts and weird environmental interactions and annoying enemy types.

i only fought one boss and it's a bit of a weird one, so i can't say much about that but there's still a good amount of dlc to go, so far i'm very pleased with it

and imma respec my character again, this build doesn't make any sense

Is there anyone here who wants to dissuade me from getting Planet Explorers? I watched a review for it, and I gotta say, this game looks amazing. I love open world fantasy games where you're allowed to explore everywhere. Furthermore I really like that you can create your own base/house however you want. There are really a lot of things I like about this game.

However, there are a few complaints that seem noteworthy that is making me hold off. It seems that the controls aren't very intuitive overall, which can certainly become annoying. Animations also seem. to be lacking. There's also the fact that it's an Early Access game, which brings up concerns about if it'll actually be completed or abandoned.

I have a huge backlog, so I don't like adding to it unless it's crazy cheap, but this game has REALLY caught my eye, and as the review said, it's a diamond in the rough, and I see that diamond hard. The game can also be bought for 4 keys ($8) from a Russian, which is nice. Basically, I'm trying to restrain myself, but keep thinking about it, so help? Feel free to also push me over the edge and completely convince me to get it, but please don't, lol.

how long would you say it is, more or less?

steam says 6 hours, tho i goofed around a bit before starting it

i feel like i'm about three quarters there tho i haven't beaten any bosses yet

i'm pretty slow at games since i read everything and look around a lot and get distracted by random textures somewhere so it might be less

btw as a non-spoilery demonstration of how cool the level design is in the dlc:

like such a cool moment getting to a bonfire, looking to your right and seeing an old one and thinking "look how far i got"

very cool, i'm more appreciative of the interesting dungeon design than the boss fights myself so i eat up this sort of shit
 
Morning fellow steam friends.

Volgarr! I almost picked up a copy to give away today -- my trader had it on his "menu" but was all out of copies so I didn't ask him to restock.

Related to giveaways, I was looking at some more of the DW8XL gifs I found when looking for some to post with my own giveaway *plug* *plug* and I found this one I felt like posting randomly here:

They need to do Metal Gear Rising x Dynasty Warriors.

Franchise = Redeemed.

What they REALLY need to do is get a few companies together and make something like Capcom x Tecmo Koei X Konami x Namco and put them all into Warriors Orochi.

Ryu Hayabusa + other NG characters
Yaiba Kamikaze
Gabriel Belmont
Dante
Vergil
Raiden
etc.

Volgarr is just too good. The perfect one more time game as you end up dying every round. Me and my brother got through like 2 or 3 stages last week taking turns and switching every 3 lives. One hell of a great game for those who win the giveaway!

Is the Dark Souls II dlc intended to be done post completion of the main game or could I just jump in at around SL 100?

i think you'll be fine

i'm sl150 on ng+++ and having trouble, but it'll be easier in ng

i'm interested in there are differences between ng and ng+ for the dlc

I need to buy that game for myself someday. But for now I want to stop buying new games for awhile, so I can finally concentrate on playing all those great games lurking in my backlog, (..I'll probably still buy Trails day 1 though :x)
