authenticity aside, these screenshots and pieces of concept art are absolutely beautiful cry;
that first especially is mesmerizing
but as excited as i am about the prospect of a new dark souls, i can't help but feel it's a little soon for a 3, and i'm a little bit worried about what such a rapid release schedule might mean for the future of the series
dark souls 2 came out in march 2014, bloodborne (which hasn't even received its obligatory dlc expansion yet) in march 2015, and "early 2016" would put 3 in about march 2016 also
assuming that's not just coincidence, i'm not so sure this is a series which should be annualized, nor am i certain it's a series which could withstand it
of course, bloodborne isn't technically a dark souls game but it's still a from software title that's so heavily based on souls themes/mechanics/technology/etc. that it may as well be one
yeah... you know, after 3, I kinda hope they stop for a year or two.
UNLESS!!!! Quality holds up. then i don't care
i'm not even worried about a dip in quality so much as i am about gradually diminishing in innovation

as for my earlier worries about annualization, which were completely off the mark

a tinge of bitterness to the sweet, just the way i like my souls games :'(
sweet.
OH NO FINAL!?
nah, they gotta be lying, or at least continue with Bloodborne
i guess they could continue with bloodborne but they'd be losing out on the xbox and pc markets
i'm guessing we'll see a multiplat ""'spiritual successor""" to bloodborne out of the same necessity that dark souls was born of in the first place

the fact that it sounds like Emi Evans is the main vocalist again is great
i'm going to sorely miss dark souls though, so many of my favorite 7th gen experiences and memories were based in lordran and drangleic (and boletaria) and it's easily one of the defining franchises of the past decade in gaming for me

[spoiler]
can i legitimately be nostalgic over a game that first released in 2009/2011 rofl[/spoiler]
BABA BOOEY!
I've almost finished dark souls. Next up, Demon souls then Dark souls 2, then Dark souls 3. Skipping bloodborne because no PS4. And hopefully I'll have a new PC by the time I'm finishing up Demons souls, and then I can play dark souls again with the DLC (because fuck paying $15 for old content when I can probly buy the prepare to die edition on the PC for cheaper)

You can take a picture with the Red Knight and share it with #EmbraceTheDarkness to get yourself a SDCC exclusive 2 sided poster.
You can also see the Dark Souls fountain in person at Petco Park. If you take a photo at the fountain and share it with #EmbraceTheDarkness and #DarkSoulsSDCC, you’ll get a physical print out of your image and a Dark Souls selfie stick as a souvenir.

what i've gleaned from all this conflicting information and indecision: this may perhaps be the final
dark souls game (unless it sells well enough), but expect to see a so-called spiritual successor titled 'dead souls' or 'bloodmourne' or smth in 2017

GMG won't give me my key yet so I can't preload it. :(
i made the mistake of preordering this on amazon thinking i didn't mind waiting five or so extra days to play this. i already regret this decision, but at least i'll be able to play it soon
First boss down
I took a surprise nasty hit halfway through the fight, but down first try.
Probably one of the easier first bosses in souls.
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS FUCKING GAME
2ND boss down.
Fun fight. The music made it intense.
wrench;
can't play til tomorrow...fcuk!!!!
[spoiler]great deku tree[/spoiler] defeated.
That was an interesting fight. Kinda gimmicky but in a good way.
[spoiler]new firelink shrine is literally just the nexus lmao
"touch the darkness inside me" wow this game is already brimming with callbacks (along with that shitty giant tree from das2 (looks like they even ripped the model straight from that game ugh))
first boss was cool but had like no hp which is weird since they give you a bonfire right in front of him
game is great so far, but looks like estus shards and the das2 durability system are back. can't wait to have to wade through corrosive acid at some point, as if the devs are treating your armor as a potential status effect awdood;[/spoiler]
[spoiler]yeah but the durability seems to be greater than ds2. I've gone long stretches with it not getting even near breaking [/spoiler]
all i know is my bro loved dk souls 1 & 2 and they were pretty cook.
I love them all.
Except Demons. Fuck demons.
[spoiler] jk [/spoiler]
game managed to crash 2 hours in. oh boy
damn dude
wooooooowwww......
they brought the [spoiler]asylum demon[/spoiler] back....
again....
[spoiler]uhhh so they rehashed the exact same batwing demons from das1 to take you to undead settlement but they don't even appear in the level itself??? they don't even fit in aesthetically to the level they're taking you to or the one they're taking you from???? they just show up to say HEY REMEMBER US WE'RE DOING THIS FOR THE THIRD TIME and then leave?????[/spoiler]
also holy fuck the npcs are overpowered

yes, this game does that kinda thing a lot.
so be prepared for that
Oh man.... [spoiler]the abyss watchers [/spoiler] was a spectacular fight.
Not hard, (I died once) but very fun. And very reminiscent of a certain bloodborne boss, in a very good way.
gaaah it'll be literally days before this is in my hands :( :(
I'm about to get my 3rd and final ending and I can put this game down for a while. goowan
wtf is wrong with you
i pre-ordered digital deluxe but i haven't been able to download it yet lol :(
I should have it by tonight
Just beat one of the coolest bosses ever in any game. Quite a spectacle to behold
i am in a developing country... .. i am back in the city and currently downloading lol
[spoiler]i am very excited[/spoiler]
fuck yeah you can kick again 5thgrade;
is it ever? in every souls game, your post-game stats allow you to pretty well outweigh any increased difficulty, not to mention the fact that you're replaying stuff you know already.
ng+ is a cakewalk in every souls game
I fucked up, I was lazy and leveled up through the Vagina faced guy that gives you the Dark Sign for leveling up through him, I leveled up like 3 times, died once and now Im stuck as a hollow whenever I die because I dont want to spend the 60k to get cured saddood;

if you don't want to be cured you might as well try to go for the ending that requires you to be hollowed through acquiring dark signs
How do you already know about an ending?

all i know is that it involves acquiring darksigns and some other character that shows up after being hollowed

some parts are I guess. It felt like the bosses didn't get much harder in this game though? Like I did 2 full playthroughs and then 1 where I skipped anything optional. I was a little disappointed at how easy it was. :(

[spoiler=actual spoilers]You get 5 dark signs from him and then you get the last 3 from luring Anri of Astora to a "wedding" after killing her only companion and take her darksigns after killing her with a sacrificial blade.[/spoiler]
I've been noticing an "easy" pattern as well....
Idk, maybe it's because I've played all the previous games so far, or this one just IS easier, but I haven't died more than twice at a boss yet. Maybe the difficulty spike is coming soon? In the current area I'm in?
It's the normal enemies that seem harder, and even then, not by that much
so many unmarked spoilers time to leave this thread forever
yeah this seems easier than DSII by far, I beat the Crystal boss today and it wasnt that hard. The only boss that I took me a while was that dumb tree because I didnt know wtf I was supposed to do akudood;
and yeah, the mobs are harder than the bosses so far, especially those fucking dogs
also LUL you can hear the Bloodborne enemy gurgles when you kill some of the enemies too
I gotta say though, even if it is easier than the others, it still has some of the coolest bosses anyway.

The dogs are exactly the same as they are in every other Souls game. Same AI and moveset.

I thought the setup and intro to him was amazing. and a spectacle to behold. Yeah it was easy, and unfortunately, kind of a gimmick boss, but still thought it was great visually.

[spoiler]the amount of ds1 fanservice in smouldering lake is kind of ridiculous goonish[/spoiler]
also the bonfire placement in this game is downright terrible. i feel like only one level so far has been cleverly designed around having a central bonfire (and is my favorite area yet). the rest of the game just sprinkles bonfires everywhere without thinking about how far apart they are. (for instance: [glow=black,2,300]abandoned tomb + demon ruins + old demon king bonfires in the catacombs. wtf were they thinking)[/glow]

I mean, it makes sense.
it IS the last Dark Souls game..........
supposedly
that being said, this game, as it stands in my mind now, ranks to me as follows;
Bloodborne>Dark Souls 3/Dark Souls>Demon's Souls>Dark Souls 2
Bloodborne=Dark Souls>Demon's Souls>>>>Dark Souls 3>Dark Souls 2
not my final opinion of course, but i doubt it'll change after i beat the game

i actually really hate how many mimics there are in this game. like it just makes you stock up on undead hunter charms because fighting them isn't any fun. i think they slightly outnumber normal chests, what the fuck?? one of the first chests you can find in the game is a fucking mimic. this is the one aspect of the game that panders to the "wow its so hard but this is dark souls XDDD" crowd and it's awful
tho granted, if you're playing online, there is a 90% chance you will see a player sign warning you that it's a mimic
for that reason i was never fooled by a single one
also, looking at it's chain.
if it's curled and mostly pointing at the chest, its normal.
if the chain is more straight, and pointing more towards you, it's a mimic
uhhh i don't hate them because i keep getting fooled by them (happened maybe once), i hate them because having so many of them all throughout the game greatly devalues the "surprise" and uniqueness of finding a mimic. mimics are meant to catch you off guard and make you become cautious about rushing to open chests, but when that happens the first time you see a chest, it just makes you assume every single chest you see is a mimic (which is almost true in this game). it instantly reduces the feeling of "ooh, i hope that isn't a mimic" to "that's probably a mimic. i was right. time to kill this mimic."
i turned into a dragon i dont think i like this
also rapport is so cheap but i love it
okay I beat it and the last boss was good but easy but I'm pretty sure I was overleveled lol
sir alonne was imo the best (also most frustrating) boss in the series and compared to him the final boss wasn't much trouble
That's interesting because I found sir alonne to be much easier than the final boss of 3.
I was at level 110 lol so that might be why this was easy
Sir alone wasn't so bad the first time but he kicked my ass on ng+1 and that fight stuck with me

i was playing as a pyromancer with balanced strength and intelligence through most of them game but i respec'd into only intelligence for pyromancies and enough strength for the moonlight greatsword and put the rest into vigor, my health was quite a bit over halfway across the screen lol. i didnt have much trouble after that

helping people beat bosses is so much fun why did i neglect this aspect of these games for so long. i love how you immediately get summoned for untitled man too
when you put down your summon sign in ng+ you get summoned by people in ng+ right??? or is it really hard to get summoned in early levels when you're level ~100 regardless?

there is no ng vs ng+ etc. limit to summoning. it's done by soul level and weapon level. basically, you can play online with people who are near the same soul level as you, and are using weapons around the same reinforcing level
granted, the specifics differ depending upon what types of phantoms we're talking about, but i can at least say for sure that which game cycle someone is on doesn't matter
ok cool
Of course, its still pretty hard to do a lot of multiplayer stuff at high levels because most of your targets are far below your level. So stuff like Farron Watchdogs, Aldrich Faithful, and Darkmoon are nigh impossible to do past certain levels. So people like me that foolishly ignore them end up having to grind their respective items off rare drops from enemies instead.
But at least Sunbro and Rosarias Fingers are easy to do at any level.
lmao kaz i found a symbol of avarice just by killing that very first mimic n_u
lucky :(
however, i now have the crystal sage rapier, so that combined with rusted gold coins should get me the symbol pretty easily at some point
On PC I'm not having too much trouble doing Aldrich invasions around 149 (I think). It feels like it's near the end of where people actively play though.
literally can't get summoned for blue sentinels or watchdogs of farron at all, this is bullshit

pretty much the only one that's manageable to get summoned for is aldrich faithful
wow so if you want a single gesture from yellowfinger heysel you have to sacrifice sirris' entire questline?
i already fucked up that dumb questline in my first playthrough by giving rosaria a tongue the first time i saw her, so i never even got into the darkmoons
should i just play along with sirris' quest until i get darkmoon loyalty and then drop it in order to get heysel's gesture????? ugghh this is why i've never tried to platinum a souls games before

for platinuming purposes it's not possible to do both heysel and sirris questlines in one playthrough but i guess you could at least get both gestures yeah.
but you can't get the silvercat ring from sirris unless you stay completely away from rosaria's fingers in a playthrough, and getting all rings is one of the trophies
but you shouldn't worry about all this unless you truly plan on platinuming, because if you do plan on it, you need to prepare yourself for some seriously long grinding sessions to get wolf's blood swordgrass and, even worse, proofs of concord kept
finally picked this up lol goodjob;
i'll be playing it after i finish unch4rted
There's going to be some big announcement on Aug 24.
I can only guess that it'll have to do with dlc.

the dlc comes out soon but it already installed itself on my ps4??? confuseddood;
anyway it looks like i'm in the exact position in ng+ to access the dlc [glow=black,2,300](you have to beat the deacons first and i'm like half an hour away from killing them)[/glow]
can't wait to get destroyed because i'm too lazy to start a new save file smithicide;

i spent like an hour exploring the level, it feels massive. haven't found a boss yet lol but i'm enjoying it so far
The pvp arena is cool. I like it.
i tried it 5 times and lost all 5 times 5thgrade;
6 man free for all brawl is the best
[spoiler=boss spoilers]after 2 hours and 20 attempts, i finally beat the tedious, exhausting overkill of a boss fight that is sister friede. FUCK.[/spoiler]
Sweet. Can't wait.
please note that a) i suck massive dongs at video games and b) i'm on ng+ so you probably won't have the same experience lol smithicide;

i played the dlc for twenty minutes and got killed by the wolves around the second giant wolf lol fuck

[spoiler]yeah i was even standing right next to her corpse so i took extra damage when it happened lol
the boss fight itself is pretty fucking cool from an aesthetic standpoint, but having to do those first two phases every time you die to the ridiculous third phase (if you're bad like me) really wears down on you
overall the dlc was good but it needed maybe one more boss to feel "complete". that stretch of level between the end of the corvian village and the cathedral's bug basement was also kind of boring as well. in fact, i think the lack of a boss fight in the village is what makes that part just feel like filler. if you manage to completely miss the ice chasm area, there's not a single boss until friede. which is kind of ridiculous.
in terms of souls dlc i'd say this one is above iron king and sunken king but lower than ivory king (ignoring the horse valley) and WAY lower than ds1 and bb's dlcs
and now we have to wait like 6+ months for the next dlc :'([/spoiler]

That depends on who you ask of course. I felt it was good. I'm glad I played it and everything, but it is short compared to the other Souls DLC.
I would compare it's length to one of DS2's dlc's
I heard it was good for PvP players, but a bit short for single players
so tec, how's dsiii going? n_u
tec swore off all berserk-related media
I'm gonna go berserk if Tec doesn't play it.
I'll give him worse than a bad ending.
so a couple days ago i finished the dlc. pretty cool. the main boss fight was actually really cool, if a bit frustrating for how long it is. second boss fight was pretty lame unfortunately.
the area of the dlc itself isn't bad but it's definitely not any better than some of the weaker areas of the main game tbh
decent dlc/10
guess who finally started playing this :3
i have to say that ds3's opening hours are far, far easier than ds2's
it took until curse-rotted greatwood before i died to any bosses

they are. They are
anyway, so far i've killed iudex gundyr, vordt, greatwood (fuck; greatwood), crystal sage, stray demon, and most recently i've cleared the cathedral of the deep and killed the deacons (obligatory boring souls mob boss #839)
just before the cathedral, i'd done everything in the farron keep area except for actually challenge the boss, so that's my next task

i think 3 might beat even dark souls 1 as the most forgiving souls game lol
but we'll see how difficulty ramps up as i progress
i felt like it was the most forgiving pretty much throughout the whole game
it easily was
also i played co-op way too much and overleveled and made it even easier
I still don't see 1 as very forgiving.
Only 2 & 3 really
i dont really think it was either and if it was then fucking blighttown made me forget about it lol
1's opening hours are very forgiving (discounting the capra demon) if only because the game simply does not penalize you for death, unlike any other souls game
2 does, and on top of that, the pursuer is probably the hardest early-game boss in any souls game, plus its early-game environments are generally more hazardous than 1's and especially 3's
what's surprising about 3 is that despite its death penalty, its opening hours are even more forgiving than 1's
they brought back the death penalty? gonk;
p.s. i haven't played 2
its not as bad as dark souls 2 where you get punished with each death lol just a single one for lack of humanity
i miss bonfire ascetic
and dark souls 2 isn't nearly as punitive as demon's souls where you lose 50% of your max health right off the bat
rather your max health diminishes by a tiny increment with each successive death, ultimately down to 50%

there are a lot of things i could complain about (and have done so endlessly) when it comes to 2, but at the end of the day it's still a fucking great game and you should really play it
Quote from: Thyme on November 22, 2016, 06:51:06 PM

3's is honestly a pretty negligible penalty. it's basically a light version of the demon's souls penalty. the hp difference between kindled vs unkindled is much less harsh.
however, it's also balanced better than dark souls 1 humanity. stacking humanity in 1 just makes you stronger and stronger, and it's way too easy to do so with how often you pick up humanities. and when you recover your souls, you recover all those soft humanities as well. plus they heal you if you use them.
on the other hand, you can only be kindled or unkindled in 3. if you're already kindled, you can't use an ember, it does nothing. it can't even heal you. so while you could theoretically use it while at low health and unkindled to both heal yourself and raise your max hp, it's a one-time thing.
so kindling is a less versatile system than humanity, but it's better balanced.
i didn't really like 2's system tbh. i think they found a happy medium with 3.
tbh you can just skip 2 and go straight to 3 and miss virtually nothing

i mean frankly they do so little damage and are so slow to attack you can just roll around or swing wildly and you should barely even be taking damage lol. and the active deacon always goes down with just a couple hits so idk how anyone even manages to allow the curse spell to happen
that fight is like pinwheel easy, just not as pinwheel fast
I love how dark souls players always talk about how a boss is, like it'll be that simple for anyone who plays, no matter how relatively easy a boss may be.
Like, its dark souls, shit can happen. It's easy to mess up too.

it's really phase 2 that i had more trouble with lol
it's just really easy to get distracted between clearing a path to the bodyguard-swarmed main deacon, and interrupting the curse fog spammers, and avoiding that giant blast of dark magic, etc., and it's such a protracted battle of attrition that i would frequently end up running out of estus before the main one was near dead
they're definitely harder than pinwheel >.<

Would be nice if Yuria didn't spoil it before you have a chance to discover it for yourself. goodjob;
i basically feel the same way lol
it's cheap, blatant fanservice, but exiting irithyll into that all too familiar elevator and recognizing where i was did put a smile on my face, i'll admit
on the other hand, considering it's just a tiny, largely unmodified sliver of an area i learned like the back of my hand in ds1, it's the weakest part of irithyll (minus the dungeons)
but i guess irithyll itself serves as the expansion to anor londo
its inclusion did reinforce the fact that i don't understand dark souls geography at all[/spoiler]

it's the same anor londo but everything around the main cathedral has changed drastically
anyway irithyll dungeon is good until you get to the bottom floor of the main jail where it turns into trash

In a game whose story is not conveyed very well at all, this is something I out together. Whether you agree or not, is fine either way. It's just my thoughts on the world.

That fight is actually my favorite in the whole game.
yeah dancer is at least one of the best for sure
fromsoft just did a phenomenal job establishing an immersive atmosphere for that fight, between the sound direction (boss heels clicking in tempo with music), the visual effects (cathedral interior engulfed in flames upon being struck by boss weapons, the ethereal veil physics), the great intro, the uncanny serpentine gracefulness of the boss, it just all comes together to create a really fantastic end product
the dancer fight isn't my absolute favorite because the strategy itself is pretty basic (artorias remains the best souls boss ever), but as an overall package i think the dancer battle is the most memorable in any souls game thus far
a+
i mean the strategy for artorias is extremely basic too tbh

fuck yeah
The Ringed City - "Sweet! A brand new area!
The Ringed City reality - "It's a DIFFERENT part of Anor Londo."

yeah honestly it's hard to get excited for this when every enemy, location, character, and boss in that trailer feels like a recycled idea from a previous game (or das3 itself)
oceiros downed in one attempt 5thgrade;

yeah, i still haven't finished this lol smithicide;[/spoiler]

i had just one sip of estus left upon defeating him lol
that was a particularly fun fight

that's three in a row with no deaths nyandood;

obligatory souls gimmick boss down, three attempts
[spoiler]the ancient wyvern actually didn't kill me once, but my first death was due to getting ganked by that fuck;ing axe-tossing serpent beast et al, and the second time i plummeted to death after completely missing on the plunging attack lol (should have had the cat ring equipped before taking a risky jump smh)[/spoiler]

careful not to make the DS 1 fanboys angry
[spoiler]i agree though[/spoiler]
i feel like there's hardly even an argument to be made in favor of ds1's bosses
i mean, a handful of them like ornstein/smough and artorias are on par with 3's, but the vast majority of them don't even compare
of course, that's not to say they're bad at all
3's are just better on average lol
agreed again
come to think of it, even 2 has a lot of bosses that are better than 1's
but 2 also has a lot more bosses in general and many of them are a complete waste of a boss room, dragging the overall ds2 boss average way down

he puts it in the "eggs" box, never to be seen again
so i'm assuming the new dlc is locked off until the end of the game
guess who's still in farron keep smithicide;
I actually have an idea where it probably is located.
made it to irithyll
oh shit apparently you can access the dlc if you're at the end of the game OR if you've beaten ashes of ariandel. that's actually pretty cool of them.
time to get fucking creamed lmao
[spoiler]20 minutes into the dlc and i die to a room full of infinitely spawning enemies. oh boy.[/spoiler]

Well, I thought I could say I beat the first boss on my first try.....
Ok, second try, I'll take it.
That was a cool boss tho, but

FINALLY defeated this bastard
And it only took me
twenty-three attempts. (http://i.imgur.com/aVC0lpd.gif)
so far, he's only boss to have surpassed the deacons (by far, lol) in difficulty for me goowan
and really, it's the first part of the fight, which is actually a boss battle against an inexcusably poorly programmed camera, that was responsible for 2/3 of my deaths
yes, let's have the boss instantaneously launch itself straight upwards into the stratosphere so that camera tracking is guaranteed to break, and then launch a giant inescapable fireball at the feeble and disoriented player's sorry ass nyandood;
To be fair, there's a number of bosses in the series that do that
That doesn't make it fair at all. (http://i.imgur.com/LYhUYxF.gif)

also, i guess that means i'm pretty much finished with the base game now
trigger endgame or start dlc first y/n
wait......you had problems with the FIRST part of the fight??? psyduck;
anyway i'm really not a fan of some of the FUCKING enemy placement in the ringed city. some parts seem designed so that you'll just get frustrated and run past them

Like DS2, the ng+ doesnt start til you sit at the shrine fire and select to start a ng
besides, i wanna hear what you thought of the final boss
[spoiler]i think i did everything in the dlc except kill that stupid fucking dragon. the "ending" was weak as fuck. also nice job ruining your old monk rehash by adding in a respawning npc that heals the boss.
honestly i don't know if i'll ever feel like beating the dragon. i didn't really enjoy this dlc that much!!!!!!![/spoiler]

[spoiler=actual spoilers don't click]*complaining about the ending in the LAST piece of content in a dark souls game EVER. there's not even a cutscene. the whole of the two dlcs is just a side story about some npc who's never even mentioned in the base game. you get to go to a LOST CITY AT THE END OF THE WORLD TO GET THE DARK SOUL!!!! oh wait this underdeveloped npc beat you to it so you just kill him and give his "blood of the dark soul" to the painting girl who just thanks you and continues to sit there, doing nothing forever[/spoiler]
Oh well, til the next Dark Souls.
Finished Ringed City. That final boss was awesome. Definitely one of my favorite DS bosses.
I thought this was a great piece of dlc.
Much better than Ashes
[spoiler]also, nice to see kalameet return [/spoiler]
[spoiler]but it's not kalameet. unless you're just pointing out how similar they are. kalameet was a way better fight either way[/spoiler]

.........yeah......you.....too...
you know, after attempting that boss a few (dozen) more times, i think i've misjudged him. he's not one of the worst bosses or anything.
[spoiler]he's THE worst boss. in this game, and possibly the whole franchise. here's why:
1. ridiculous pool of hp guarantees that the fight will last 10 or more minutes
2. only really takes damage through his head, meaning it's one of those fights where you're chasing one body part around (like cutting off a ds1 boss's tail, only you HAVE to do it now!!)
3. CONSTANTLY breaks the lock-on. whether you've gotten too close during his combo strings (which all propel him forward) or he's decided to fly up to reset his position/spray fire, your lock-on abilities are fucked and now you're scrambling with the right stick so you don't get instakilled by fire or get clipped by another of his swings. this is mostly caused by him inexplicably only having one lock-on position
4. speaking of fire, he's constantly spraying it everywhere, and even if the tiniest little flame of it touches you while he's barfing it on the ground, you'll always take a fixed amount of damage and get knocked over. because that makes sense.
5. like the similarly awful sinh from ds2, midir loves to play keepaway. found the perfect opportunity to attack his head? nope, now he's all the way across the map, firing lasers at you. another thing to extend the length of the fight. fun.
6. he has this charge attack that has almost no telegraphing animation. he just suddenly slides across the arena somehow. also that one really long combo he does literally just wastes your time since it's almost impossible to reach his head at the end of it
7. the laser orgasm attack at the start of phase 2 is just fucking stupid
8. i've never made it past number 7 but i bet there's even more bullshit after it. but i'll never know!!!!!
dragon bosses in these games can fuck off and die forever. yes i'm mad
gael and the demons were cool tho[/spoiler]
Wow...
