el shaddai was also full of potentially awesome stuff

it's just that it just stood there looking pretty and saying nonsense and being generally nonsense and i don't even know what it was supposed to be

such a weird game

I didn't care what it was about :V Well that's not true, it's based on the Book of Enoch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_apocrypha

I mean even I googled up what the story was about. Though it's always been easy for me to shut down my brain's attempt at understanding a story and just playing through for the visuals and the presentation.

I would argue that the Gwyn fight is all about the experience. The music is beautifully sad as you fight this frail former God as he swings this beautiful sword at you in the abandoned ruins of a once amazing temple built at the peak of an empire.

One of the most satisfying final bosses in video game history, and still challenging, though not as challenging as some bosses in the game.

"Nah fam, it was too easy so it sucked."

You missed the entire point of the game, admittedly the story isn't spoon fed to you like the majority of ham-fisted game narratives these days.

Agree with almost all. Gwyn was easier than imagined from an end boss but to me it fit very well. The serene music, the gorgeous Kiln, even that the black knights came one after another, visible in an open path, all this made it clear that this end boss is more of a gentle and soothing sendoff for the player, rather than a last show of skill.
What a great, great game.

Yeah the astmosphere was really great inside of the kiln. I was just expecting something different from Gwyn, especially after fighting Artorias. I guess I was a bit thrown off.

Invisible Inc has been on my wishlist for a bit, and I see it's 50% off and I have cash to spare, but I need your opinion as people who put substantial time into the title. Gogogo. Sell it. Or tell me no. I mean, whichever.

Well, Artorias was added later, originally he wasn't in the game.

Yeah it's an RPG game but it's an Action RPG

now yes I know it's a K-T game but Gurumin is a Falcom game on PC not published by XSEED.
Ya never know.

Otherwise post what action games on PS3 Ghostlight could publish/release on Steam.

Steam GAF generally loves Invisible Inc, Don't Starve and Mark of the Ninja, buy them all.

Klei didn't add console achievements to Don't Starve though, so there's that. Personally, I will value years of free content updates, but the determination is ultimately subjective....Actually not really, as the updates are actually tangible while achievements are unequivocally useless.

This game is free to play for the next 3 days, just try it out.
If you like the sound of "roguelike", "Turnbased" and "stealth" then there is no reason not to play it, thats all im going to say.

The only "issue" i have with this game is, that i've already seen everything after 20 hours, as i expected more due to it beeing a roguelike.

Probably, but I'm in no position to play it. A combination of shitty Internet, and no real time to sit down and try it out because of school things.

I can't be the only who who disliked Don't Starve. Mark of the Ninja I already have. When it comes to Invisible Inc, though, I'm more concerned with how it controls and looks. I enjoyed Marvellous Miss Take, right, I enjoy most stealth games, but in its case the POV and the controls messed with me for a while -- took a bit to get into.

Don't Starve is like Binding of Isaac, products that were meant to be super niche, but ended up finding incredible success.
Both are extremely difficult, unyielding, high learning curves, and are not very accessible.

It's not your fault if you don't like Don't Starve, you aren't the target demographic.

These 4K Star Ocean V screens have me pretty confident about seeing this sometime next year. I don't care about the past and what they did with SOIV.

I'm so confident that this game will come out on STEAM next year, that if it's not released by then I'll raffle off the most recent big name AAA JRPG that's released at that time.

That's also true. Well, I stil enjoyed it a lot, exploring each area and then finding out how everything was connected left me a a great feeling. And having to figure out each boss, with their patterns and how to counter them made me realise how I was improving at the game. It was especially great when I kept banging my head against a boss, then something clicked and I managed to beat him without almost getting hit.
I still think I'll skip Dark Souls 2 and wait for the next one though

Gwyn is alright as you shouldn't know he can be parried in the first place and boss summons are an official cheat.
Click to expand...

Well after learning how to parry in Anor Londo I tried it against every boss and always failed. I was able to do it with each black knight that lead the way to Gwyn, so I went for it. And yeah, summons are a big no no.
Also, what was the deal with Solair? I didn't pay too much attention to his side of the story, but I think I killed him near a Titan Demon next to Bed of Chaos.

i think gwyn was ok as a scene in that the music was beautiful and he looked like you were just ending his suffering or something, but then he moved and also looked kind of goofy so it ended up feeling a bit anticlimactic

i don't think the point of dark souls was to have an epic battle to the end, but artorias is a better example of the fallen knight that looks broken and awaiting for his death but that looks legit scary and cool

but hey, it's hard to compare to fucking artorias

Grief said it best regarding the Gwyn fight

I'll also add that it subverts the nature of the entire game in that you are used to fighting these huge monster bosses and then you get a very solemn duel at the end.

If you want something metal as fuck the Artorias duel may be what you are looking for Lord.

You never know. For example AC IV codes were advertised as standard game only codes but when game was available for download it was Digital Deluxe version or something like that. Unity was game only aka standard version as far as i can remember.

I didn't parry in either Dark Souls or Dark Souls 2.

Figured it was best to just try and not get hit.
Click to expand...

It's super risky, but parrying is THE most satisfying way to kill things in action games.

It's why the Onimusha series is my favourite. I used to play those game using counters only.
