Will it mess up the install files from DS4tool?

This can be answered by the following:
And I'd also add the importance of mechanics. DocSeuss has a post somewhere where he analysed it a bit more, but Western games are much more simulation-based, think Grand Theft Auto and The Elder Scrolls, whereas Japanese games are much dependent on mechanics and controls being unique, think Devil May Cry or Resident Evil 6, where controls are very complex but allow for so much freedom and response.
Would definitely buy it if it came to steam.
Need I say more?

The more I play Lego Batman 2 the more right Stallion and Li Kao become.
Kingdoms of Amalur did this really well. Each enemy type has multiple stealth kill animations, and they're all over the top. The only catch is you have to use daggers, but they're the best weapon in the game anyway.

No idea. I got rid of DS4Tool once I found DS4Windows.
Wish I could've bought it for 3.49 =/
My cousin came home today and he gave me a lesson in Dark Souls. He started a new game, and in 2 hours he managed to kill
, grab a good weapon and shield and upgrade the former, and pick up some powerful rings. In my own playthroughs (2 attempts; 10 hours between both) I couldn't do even half of all this, which shows how much I suck at the game.
I am still amazed at what can be done here, regarding both fighting and exploration. I'd like to learn to play it well, but that's impossible.

It's really not. It doesn't take super skills or anything; patience, planning and observation / understanding enemies move sets take you really far in DS
Well... in 2 hours a speedrunner can almost beat the game twice, once all bosses and once any%.
Only thing holding you back is your attitude!

I don't know what you're talking about <_<
Yeah, those Caribbean beats are infectious!
Goes really well with the whole theme of the game and artstyle. Just ... joyous, have a huge smile on my face while playing. Heck, if it wasn't for getting kicked off, I could just sit back and enjoy ruling this tiny village with super slow progress the whole evening.
And supposedly Tropico 5 has the worse soundtrack in the series. I have no opinion since I never played a Tropico before, but I find the soundtrack quite delightful.
Eh, to me, that's why I lost interest in it, it was way too much about memorization and every mistake resulted in a lot of what increasingly felt like tedious repetition. I just lost interest in spending 2 hours doing what felt like 10 minutes worth of content.
It's definitely not as great as 3 or 4. That said, when I went to 4 from 3, all I wanted was to go back to 3. When I went back to 3 to finally beat it, I found I actually wanted to go back to 4. So maybe it's that.

Souls games are literally just run around, smack things in the face, and time your dodges. Pretty simple really.
I am on the same page as you. It seems more than wishful thinking and more like a strong possibility. Well I do think FFX will test the water for future coming FFX+ titles and I personally will buy it again if that happens (first time bought it for PS2). Won't replay it again but I will have it as party of my collection.
Until then,

Honesty, I think the reason Western games media has soured on Japanese games is because the people in western games media are growing older, while Japanese games still mostly aim at teenagers. There's certainly an element of individual taste involved as well, in terms of visuals, how far sexual content goes before being a problem, and gameplay, but stuff like grind and tons of fanservice is way more tolerable as a teenager than as an adult with limited time and after being bombarded with sexual content to the point of apathy. Also, because Japanese games generally target teenagers, they often feature teenage characters, which makes the fanservice elements extremely off-putting.
It doesn't help that due to Japan's lack of long term planning for building the reputation of their media during the anime boom of the late 90s/early 2000s, there's a deeply entrenched public sentiment that Japanese media is fucked up, creepy, etc... And when tons of Japanese games play into those stereotypes, it's not surprising that western games media would get alienated from Japanese games.
Same, not heard the other soundtracks before myself but really enjoying this one so far. Will have a look for the previous ones if these start to sound too familiar, thanks.
But I saw him dodging attacks at the very last second, with skills that surpass mine, and killing enemies that I never could (those black knights, for example). That's something that I don't know how to learn.
This is what I told him too. Whenever I died at a boss I had to respawn at the nearest bonfire and kill the mobs again, at which point I was already damaged and couldn't fight the boss with full life and all the estus flasks. I don't have the patience nor skills needed to advance in this game.
Dodging attacks at the last second by rolling into them isn't some incredible feat of skill, it's the proper (and easiest) way to do it. It's how you ensure that you pass through enemy attacks while you still have the invincibility frames from the start of a roll.
Really? Previous games have had music from Alex Torres & His Latin Orchestra. If they don't return in Tropico 5, I will be pretty damn disappointed. They add a lot to the atmosphere of Tropico
Don't see how there could be a guide for unzipping and editing a text file, lol. Did you try deleting the dsfix files to see if that was the issue? Might not really be related at all and just have to verify integrity of game cache. It doesn't sound like you edited dsfix.ini to change the settings to what you want, but I don't see how that could make the game not launch. You should check if it actually is a dsfix issue first.

And now I'm listening to Tropico 3's (and 4's) soundtrack again. They're so good.

Yep. It could just be your average GFWL issue. Check that first.
I think the readme should be self explanatory, i don't have dark souls on pc tho, but i remember the deadly premonition fix, the readme and the steps were pretty simple, durante usually explains his shit

It's a really under appreciated game I think. Came out at a time when everyone was thinking about the newer HD generation. I had some difficulty getting used to the grapple hook and I disliked the occasional QTE but really solid game. Was budget priced at launch, too.

Last time I installed it I had to do a lot of troubleshooting since other programs were interfering with it (Afterburner and VSfilter). Had to find the cause by elimination.
Also, verify the integrity of the game cache of the game on Steam and just delete DSFix and try again, maybe you did something wrong.
Well either way they're all a welcome departure from the stoic self-importance of most game soundtracks. So much epic-ness tends to drown in itself after a while.
Dark Souls isn't about memorization, though: it's about learning. All the enemies in the game are bound by the same rules the player is, just without the freedom of a player's intelligence. It's a lot fairer than, say, Street Fighter.
I loved Tropico 4's soundtrack. Both songs of it.
Yeah I know, but I still can't do that myself, lol. It's probably a matter of practice, but I get frustrated easily.
The best place to practice is in front of the church. There are two guys on one side and one on the other. Practice circling -> backstabbing, practice parrying, practice rolling, then run back to the bonfire near the blacksmith to reset them. It's a good place to learn to manage three enemies at once and really get your positioning down.

Alright Gaf, help me out. I don't have much cash right now but can probably swing 1 game. Should I pick up Transistor, Watch_Dogs, or Wolfenstein?
