If this is something that could still be viable in the remake, then I’ll just way for that to come out and give the series another go. 
I legit want to like the games but they just never clicked so I gave my cousin my copy
As someone who doesnt really PVP i wish they would just use 1s poise and leave it be. It’s too much fun to neuter like they did.

Yeah I agree. But I understand balancing a game that has a shared world for its PVE and PVP probably has its challenges
Same exact thing leads to a lot of my frustration with Destiny.

Tank builds unfortunatly suck in Demons Souls.
They need to go back to the Demons Souls mentality. This isnt a sanctioned competition. It’s Invasion. It’s trolling. It’s fucking with someone else’s experience for your own benefit. They weren’t thinking about making a balanced game when they made the Scraping Spear. They where thinking about what an asshole move it would be to invade someone with it.
I mean it shouldn’t be wildly rediculious which Poise could be sometimes so I understand, but it took over the mindset of making the games and now things like Sunlight Spear fucking suck lol.

Yeah, Dark Souls 2 got more balance changes than fuckin Street Fighter IV. Shit was dumb. Really it was just nerf after nerf.

That was me with like…my first 3-5 hours with Demon’s. I was going to return it to EBgames. I didn’t understand it, at all.
Then it clicked how I was supposed to play the game and it is now one of my favorite series of all time. They could queef out a Souls title every 1-2 years and I’d Day Juan them every time.
They’re RPG’s at their core, there’s always some kind of way to abuse the mechanics. If you don’t mind grinding, you can grind your ass off to a point where your health bar stretches from the left side of your TV all the way to the right side, along with your stamina bar. 
It’s what I’m kind of doing now in Knee-Ho 2. I’m doing sub missions so I can unlock the beefiest of spells. I need to be able to cast faster. I’m racking up some levels and stats before I go back to take out this asshole boss who shit on my progress, haha.

Also, I too miss the Wild West nature of Demon’s Souls pvp. Dark Souls 1 Darkroot Basin too. That was back when there were no time limits on invasions… I’ve had people fuck with me for literal hours. It was such a novel idea at the time too, I just loved everything about it.
I really hope they do a good job of making all the cool weapons in that game feel powerful, and think about the pvp balance as an afterthought.

Souls PvP is fun for a little while before the cheese and lag issues set in.
I got backstabbed from the FRONT in DS: Remastered on PS4. The fuck.

Yeah unfortunately lagstabs are common as hell, especially in 2 before it got some stability patches
Finally getting to sit down and watch the Trailers.
Athia looks cool.
Wonder what Stray is.
Returnal could be interesting.
I don’t like Little Big Planets aesthetic so Sackboy game does nothing for me.
Car combat game could be cool
Gameplay looks like it still needs some work but Jena looks promising.
New She’s game doesn’t surprise me, they’ve been re-releasing the old ones again, figured they where up to something. Game looks cool.
Ghostwire looks Spoooky. Looks pretty cool to.
Don’t even know what to make of The Far Shore.
Godfall could be cool.
Solar Ash looks pretty…
Never cared about Hitman but I know others do so cool.
Astros playroom is whatever.
Don’t know what to make of Little Devil Aside and I don’t care about basketball so meh.
Bugsnacks…
Demons Souls Remaster looks great of course.
Deathloop looks promising.
Chris wasting a lot of bullets on that dude in RE8.
Pragmata is…something.
Already seen the Horizon trailer. Looks dioe. Hope the swimming is legit as I said.

You guys think game prices are gong to ramp up next gen? Hoping they don’t go to $70 or $80 for standard, non-special edition.

The remake doesnt look nearly as dark, dreary, over bearing and depressing. It looks great but the weight of the world seems kind of gone.

Pretty sure Nakamura was never the director.
it’s one of the only franchises they have been running nearly consistently since it began so it makes sense. MM should have gotten this too…if they didn’t just dump on it like the have.
I’m inclined to agree. But when one of the faces of capcom and mega man basically tells the company he just quit and japanese studios at large that they’re behind the times and need to adapt or gtfo, your old employer is going to be a bit upset.
It’s why Legends 3 and Mega Man World got canned and why mega man basically got no real love outside of rereleases until recently
