Yeah, revenge in the burg would indeed be fun. I've invaded my fair share and been invaded and I've managed to fight off people who seem to be similarily equipped.

love the game though, I'm getting geared up to go kill the Hydra and the Wolf.

How would you describe the PvP? A dumb down version of World of Warcraft?

It's nothing at all like WoW. It's a twitch game, first and foremost and the pvp when evenly matched which is unfortunately rare, is a game of dancing around your opponent waiting for them to fuck up. I rarely launch an attack unless it's to make them offbalance like a kick or lunge.

My main beef so far is getting attacked by individuals who 1 shot me dead with uber weapons whether or not I block. Others it takes 2 - 3 hits to kill me so for those matches really there isn't much you can do.

All in all though, despite the uneven fights I deeply love the way it's implemented. If they would fix the twinks (preferably by wiping their fucking save games) and then patching to prevent them from doing it again it'd be a perfect game.

It's a must have game and should be game of the year in my opinion.

:tear:

Anyway, I love the diversity of builds I see in the game. You never know what to expect until you see your opponent and you have to plan accordingly. Losing is just practice for winning in future afterall. The only thing that is bad is being on the receiving end of lagstabs. That's what happens when the player userbase is predominantly Japanese, unfortunately. Still, when you learn to counter them and abuse them for your own game, it becomes a lot of fun. The depth of the game continually surprises me.

What's wrong with GFWL? I haven't got much experience with it, only played Dirt 2 on PC through GFWL (admittedly, downloaded through Steam) but I don't see the problem with it.

If GFWL crashes while you're playing a game, it'll pull you out of the game and stop you playing until it's back up and running. It extends installation of most games that use it needlessly and frequently by as much as an hour or more. Generally it's also used for multiplayer "Matchmaking" in games with online functionality and inevitably works at a sub-par standard if at all, on top of which, Microsoft haven't updated it for over a year now. It's a bag of shit that's not needed at all.

I like GFWL. You people cry as if it physically harms you if you have to make a couple extra mouse clicks or run an additional program on your 21st century quad core supercomputers.

You like it purely because we dislike it, be honest shaft.

This game is the absolute fucking daddy. The brutal, weighty, brilliantly deliberate combat, with absolutely no button mashing, is so damn satisfying. You will learn to be cautious, take time to read the enemy, bait them and capitalise on their mistakes, rather than go ploughing in spamming special moves until everything falls over. Even with your stats raised and a momping great axe, a few lowly undead soldiers will still skewer your sorry ass if you're swinging without paying attention. Definite echoes of Severence: Blade of Darkness and the world just drenched in atmosphere. GOTY for me I reckon. A gamer's game if ever there was. I dare say it's made me a better one too. Old school brought forwards, with the sexiest licking of paint yet. Praise The Sun!

I tried it, played a few hours, then gave up. It had a lot of performance issues and would get too framey at the most important times. Controls/camera fucked me 4 times on the castle bridge boss which I had to play 45 minutes each time to get to and then I gave up on it.

Came back to this after a break and just found the DLC areas. Artorius is hands down, one the most fun and exhilerating bossfights of the game so far. What a bastard. From here I think there's just the rest of sanctuary, Seath, 4 Kings and Gwyn left to do until NG+. Can't wait to start a new character too though.
