Do we know if From is gonna nerf the fuck out of Faith builds from the get-go in DS3? I want to know if I can get my disappointment out of the way early.

Movie tie-ins are never a good idea.

I don't mean tie-in. I mean more like what EA did with Battlefront. Release it in Nov and when the movie comes out in Dec the hype helped push sales. Its kinda odd Ubi released like 10 of those games in the past 8 years but somehow decide not to do it when at a time when there is a movie.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did some AssCreed collection for the fall release or somethin. There was some rumor of it iirc.

Oh, I see.

Their release strategy is probably weighted more on continuing the franchise's success, rather than making a little bank from a movie-related bump. After all, AC has had... a rocky history these last few years; I imagine they're trying to rebuild the good faith in the franchise as a priority.

Mass Effect 1 has a great soundtrack. Metal Gear Rising: Revengence is also pretty special. Transistor has a phenomenal soundtrack and is available in FLAC for added excellence.

Transistor and Bastion both are in my OST rotation. Also have good chunks of Skyrim and Witcher 2/3 for something different than the otherwise electronic-heavy songs. You already have Ori, though, so it's all downhill to some degree.

I've maxed INT before in DS2 after using a soul vessel when I started mucking around with the Moonlight Greatsword.

Min maxing is a little different than maxing out a stat...

Min-Maxing. The practice of playing a role-playing game, wargame or video game with the intent of creating the "best" character by means of minimizing undesired or unimportant traits and maximizing desired ones.

Is Steam GAF going STR or DEX in Souls 3?

I generally make a strength character and carry around a huge stick.


In Dark Souls 1, there was this huge wooden club you could get off the big slobs in Blight town, it actually was one of the highest damage weapons in the game due to nice strength scaling and had a perfect sweep that would catch people rolling in PVP. In Dark Souls II I had a sweet giant anvil.

Probably a quality build. I don't care much for spell casting and I like having options when it comes to weaponry.

I'll second MGR.
While the Transistor soundtrack is okay, it falls short of the glory that was the Bastion OST.

Please, Don't Touch Anything had a good soundtrack, I thought.
PAYDAY 2 also has some good stuff if you're into the kind of music they usually use.
The same can be said of Killing Floor 2.

My mistake. I didn't think we were talking about soft caps/hard caps and the like, obviously. I can't say I've ever done that... I usually pick a class that has starting stats jacked up in the categories I know I'll use and then adapt from there... can't say I've ever followed a "guide" to min-max build though.

Dyscourse is a really fun choose your own adventure-type of game. You wake up after a plane crash on a remote island, meet other survivors and try to survive. After playing through a scenario once, you can rewind the days to try out different choices.

I know the feeling, this year's been rough for me. I've only finished 8 games so far this year, so I'm well behind the 52 games / year challenge for the first time in the three years I've been doing it. I've just started way too many "long" games.

come, join me in rarely playing games that actually came out in the last 12 months and travel through gaming time to a backlog that once wasn't so large.

Currently playing Stealth Inc 2 (wish it didn't have a hub world!) and God of War Ascension (wish i gave a shit for the story but it's just a AAA prequel so who cares!). It's always 2013 when you're grinding these games out

If you're toiling away over the minutiae of stats and min maxing the first time through a Souls game you haven't played yet then you've probably going to overlook lots of things about the game. Just play it, have fun and find weapon types or spells that suit your playstyle first. Maybe dick around enough to get a grasp on what you like and don't like and either knock out a playthorugh or start again with a goal in mind. But planing a build before even knowing the games systems and weapons/spells/items? Seems a trifle odd to me.
Click to expand...

I mean the thing is that I know what type of weapons I like, and that automatically directs my build. Historically those weapons have usually been C scaling on both dex and str, and I don't expect that to change.
So while I'm not planning a build as such, I'm fairly sure that's the direction it will go.

The good news is that usually the games haven't given me access to those weapons immediately, so more often than not the first 10 hours or so is exactly that, dicking around with various things.

Dyscourse has such an oddly sinister air around it. Like a dark secret it's trying to keep from the kids or something.

I think it's the subject matter as much as the art style that gives me this impression. (Haven't actually played it, just saw GB's Quick Look.)

Has anyone tried Shardlight, yet?
Click to expand...

Shardlight's OT seems positive. Dave Gilbert himself has popped in a few times.

I'm super interested in it, since their adventure games are my favourite point & clickers, but can't really spare the time for it right now; SDV has its claws all over me.

The 15 day hold is in effect for me now, before it was just saying that it would be held but still selling immediately anyways.

Also, is everyone else also needing to do e-mail confirmations of every transaction? This is the real killer here. So annoying. Guess they wanted to kill card-selling deader than dead.

I meantime Valve forgot to add confirmations for:

1) Crafting badge
2) Gemifying items
3) Crafting boosters
4) (Un)packing gems
5) Sending gifts
6) Deleting Dota 2/Dead Island Epidemic gifts
7) Buying games
8) Sending links on steam forums / chats

Valve needs to take security seriously and fix this now.
