Maybe you have a point for the mediocre games that have DLC... I can see that work maybe.
Hmmm alright. I guess choices are better than nothing. I'll put it in my backlog tho.

Those and XCX are getting me super hyped, though P5 is my most skeptical of the bunch. P4 burned me out and I'm hoping it can take the best parts of P2-4 and go in its own direction and away from the anime heavy tone of 4.
Though nothing will beat Phantom Pain. Nothing.

Oh shit, yeah, I got to try a friend's copy of Payne 1 semi-recently and that shit's awesome.
I'm currently on AW if anyone is up to some FPS bullsh*t

I would like to own AW but I hear the servers are terrible and I don't want to play it on consoles.

Dex Build. Do it.
Stay away from magic, you might as well not even play the game at that point.

I just put my points in STR VIT and END
STR build is fine too. Just stay away from magic.

You can always start over.I just put my points in STR VIT and END
Have you tried the club? It feels really underrated as a weapon, but I find it good if your going for a str build. I might be wrong tho.

It's okay. She isn't the most gentle mistress.
Pat really sold me on it even though I'm kinda burnt out on CoD so I'm conflicted on whether I should buy it or not.
Unless you're a scrub like A-A-ron.

Do you have a build in mind or just winging it?
It could, i can't think of any currently, but it could work.

Fuck yeah it's awesome, 2 as well. People tend to hate on 3, but I thought it did a good job as its own take on Max Payne. It sure as hell had better gunplay than all of Rockstars other games.

I could either way for P5. I would love for it to have a dark tone than P4 but I like the goofy bullshit of P4 as well.

Its kinda hard to fuck up in DS when it comes to stats. As long as you build your stats towards a weapon you like and put the rest to hp/stamina/equip load (which is endurance and vit in this game I believe) then you can't really fuck up a playthrough.

Make sure you don't fat roll, and get a shield with high damage reduction and good stability so it doesn't eat into your stamina.

There is actually a lot of that sort of mix in P2:IS, but people don't usually play it since its somewhat dated.

I did too for the most part. I enjoy the goofy bullshit in limited quantities. P3 had a nice balance, but P4 really tested my patience. There were some Xenosaga lengthed cutscenes in there lol.

I should really get ahold of the series.
I remember being a babby Goodwil jr.: I bought TimeShift and later Singularity hoping for a game that capitalized on time mechanics. I was deceived by GameInformer.
Dok that's too sad, please

Max Payne 3 is extremely underrated. Has probably the most satisfying gunplay in a TPS ever, and while the cutscenes are too much, the game is still ridiculously great.

You need to get a Pat navi in your life to tell you to drop the damn shield and git gud.

Laming it out is the name of the game, really. The game rewards you for it.
Follow Joose's advice. Good shield and a healthy amount of Vit and End- specially End.

I probably just missed the discussion, but yo, that new Tekken character looks like the best Tekken character ever. I might actually play that game.

James McCaffery as Max shouting and being super angry is a concept I didn't think would have me somewhat shook. Dude gets really pissed off in that game.
I actually drop the shield alot, and just swing wildly into a bunch of enemies (that's why I end up wasting all my precious estus)

Hey A A ron you play BlazBlue right? I can't do 360s and 720s for shit in CP, is there a trick to doing them or do I just need to get good?

Highly recommend the grass crest shield. Its the one a lot of people use and you find it fairly early and easily in the game in Darkroot Basin. Its an amazing shield that will most likely take you to the end of the game.

If you are going to do that, go Dex. Strength builds in DS1 are not beginner friendly. I'm only saying this for your own good.

Be aware of your stamina bar. It governs your ability to act, so until you crank it up, you're pretty limited.
I just got to the undead Parish after getting my ass burnt to a crisp by the dragon.

I'm the last person you should ask for BlazBlue tips. I love the game more than any other fighter, but I'm goddamn terrible at it. Like, I can barely pull off basic Platinum combos.
Whenever I play Tager, though, I just churn that shit like Street Fighter and it usually works out. I haven't played much CP, though, so they might have changed it.
Time to get into Tekken.

The VA of a Rockstar game is nearly always guaranteed to be amazing.

Lol, you're still super early. I don't wanna give you much advice because I'd rather you just discover things on your own. There are very few things as satisfying as figuring shit out in a souls game. Do what you think is fun. The game is built fairly well to cater to pretty much any playstyle on a first playthrough.
NO MAGIC THOUGH. STAY AWAY.

Everything about max payne 3 is great except the story which just kills it.
