New World Flail and Shield Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
TheFlailalso has wide horizontal sweeps that can hit many targets simultaneously, which is great forAoEingenemies when questing, inDungeons, or whenPvPingin medium to larger battles. And since it doesStrike damage, it can be effective against enemies theSwordis not. This makesSword and ShieldandFlail and Shielda dynamic pairing, swapping when another damage type is needed. Flail and ShieldBuilds in New World Aeternum can also setImpairment, which is aStatus Effectthat not only causes damage over time, but also reduces the damage of the target by inflictingWeaken.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Great Axe Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
As for attacks,light attacksdeal 100% damage,heavy attacksdeal 120%, andcharged heavy attacksreach 160%, making them a powerful option. TheGreat Axedeals exclusivelyslashing damage, so it’s effective against enemies weak to that type. Early on, you won’t encounter many enemies with a weakness toslashing damage, but luckily, very few will resist it either. This makes theGreat Axea solid choice for general use, especially when you’re not sure what type of enemies you’ll face.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Greatsword Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
What makes theGreatswordstand out are its uniqueOnslaught StanceandDefiant Stancemechanics. Using abilities from theOnslaughtskill tree puts you intoOnslaught Stance, which boosts your damage output but also increases the damage you take while cutting down your charged heavy attack time by half. This offensive stance is great when you want to focus on maximizing damage without worrying much about defense, making it ideal for questing, small-scale PvP, or when you’re playing a DPS role in expeditions.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Hatchet Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
If you’re going for a primarilyrangedHatchet build in New World: Aeternum, with aBoworMusket, theHatchetcan work as a solid secondary weapon. It’s not a bad backup, but it might not be as strong as options like theRapierorSpear, which naturally scale better withDexterity. Still, theHatchetcan do the job if you prefer. Itslight attacksdeal 100% damage,heavy attackshit for 120%, andcharged heavy attacksdo 160%. However, landingheavy attackscan be tricky due to theHatchet‘s short range and smallhitbox.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Ice Gauntlet Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
TheIce Gauntlet, like theFire Staff, relies onmanafor its spells, but not its attacks. Use your light and heavy attacks to help sustain your DPS when your Mana is low. You won’t see much more damage from spells compared to regular attacks unless you’re hitting multiple enemies, but not many spells in this weapon type areAOE-focused. As a result, you’ll need to watch yourmanausage carefully. Crafting or findingmana potionsearly on can help until you unlock passives that make your spells moremana-efficientor deal more damage, reducing the amount ofmananeeded to take down enemies.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Life Staff Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
Among all the weapons inNew World, theLife Staffhas the lowest damage potential because only a few of its abilities deal more damage than itslightandheavy attacks. These abilities also come with additional effects like healing or buffs, so their main purpose isn’t damage but rather supporting allies withhealsorbuffs. This makes leveling theLife Staffslower if you’re playing solo or outside ofPvP, as it takes longer to kill enemies. However, you’re incredibly hard to kill with theLife Staffdue to the constant healing, so while leveling might not be difficult, it can be more time-consuming.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Rules Out a PvPvE Mode
Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 Rules Out a PvPvE Mode Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2has decided not to pursue a PvPvE (Player vs. Player vs. Environment) variant, as it could pose a challenge for the successful shooter, which has found a balance between its PvP (Player vs. Player) and PvE (cooperative) modes. The release of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine 2 has been a massive success. It has revitalized the Games Workshop franchise, which already had some great games, but none had sold over two million copies within a single month.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Rapier Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
Positioning and timing your combo between abilities is crucial for success with theRapier. Ideally, you want to use anability, pull off the combo, then repeat the pattern. You can break out of the combo in a pinch if things go wrong with other abilities, and you should. A big part ofRapiergameplay is reactive—learning when to stay in the fight and when to reposition while keeping up your combos is key to mastering this weapon.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Spear Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
That said, theSweep,CycloneandVault Kickabilities dealstrike (blunt) damage, which is effective against undead and neutral against animals. So, if you’re switching between fighting animals and undead while questing, having those three abilities slotted can help you handle undead more effectively while your regular attacks deal with animals. One downside of thespearis its narrowhitbox. It’s not as effective at hitting multiple enemies with basic attacks compared to other weapons withhorizontal attacks. While you can hit multiple targets, you’ll need to position yourself more precisely than with other weapons, which can make it trickier to deal with groups when your abilities are on cooldown.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Sword and Shield Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
There are also 3 different types of Shields in New World: Aeternum, and they operate similarly with some slight differences: Round Shields are the lightest, with the lowest Block Stability but highest damage. Block Stability determines how much Stamina is consumed when you block an attack. Use this Shield type if you plan to maximize your damage with Defender Skills, which is ideal for questing or 1v1 PvP, but not so great for tanking Expeditions or larger scale PvP where you might need to block a lot.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World Void Gauntlet Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
New World Aeternum Void Gauntlet Build Information TheVoid Gauntletis one of only two weapons inNew Worldthat dealsVoid damage, the other being theGreat Axe. However, the Void Gauntlet exclusively dealsVoid damage, which is highly effective againstAncientsbut performs poorly against theLost—a common enemy group early in the game. As a result, its damage output will be weaker early on but will improve as you encounter tougher enemies later. One of its standout features is thatHeavy Attacksnot only pierce through targets, hitting multiple enemies, but also heal you for 20% of the weapon damage.
Oct. 14, 2024
New World War Hammer Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
New World: AeternumWar Hammer BuildsdealStrike Damage, making them especially effective against enemies weak to this damage type, like theUndead, which you’ll encounter early on, such as theDrowned. Many dungeons in the game feature these enemies, so it’s a solid choice when fightingCorruptions, during early game, or in dungeon runs. If you’re playing aStrengthbuild, having aWar Hammeron hand is highly recommended. Additionally,Light Attackswith theHammerdeal 100% damage,Heavy Attacksdo 130%, andCharged Heavy Attacksdeliver an impressive 170% damage—tied with theBowfor the highest in the game.

Oct. 14, 2024
New World Musket Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
With the newlock-onfeature, using muskets has become easier than before, making them an excellent weapon choice. However, while the lock-on assists with targeting, it doesn’t guarantee precise aiming, so you’ll still need to practice to consistently land headshots for critical damage. Initially, ranged weapons like the musket required ammo, but since that was removed, these weapons now deal a 20% increase to base damage instead. Another key point is that theMusketdealsthrust damage, making it effective against animals but less so against undead, which resist it.

New World Great Axe and War Hammer Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
This combo isabsolutely deadly, and should more or less work the same in Expeditions and in PvP. This Build is obviously better in medium to large group battles, but it works effectively in 1 0n 1 and smaller PvP as well, because the Great Axe and War Hammer are such strong Weapons. Both theGreat AxeandWar Hammerscale exclusively off theStrengthattribute, so that’s what you’ll want to focus on for maximum damage. However, you will be in melee range, meaning you will be hit quite often when using this setup so it’s also good to add some Constitution in order to survive enemy and player attacks.

New World Musket and Rapier Build 2024 - PvE & PvP
You can then use theTraps Skillto root the enemy in place, finishing it off with another shot or, attacking it with your Rapier if you want to conserve ammo. The general concept with this Build is that you want to fight at range as much as possible, only using your Rapier when absolutely necessary. You will no longer use a ton of Ammo fighting this way because it has been removed from the game with the Aeternum update, and instead you’ve had your base damage increased by 20% when using a Musket.

Pillars Of Eternity 2 Deadfire Builds Guide: Transcendent (Swift Annihilation)
Pillars Of Eternity 2 Deadfire Builds Guide: Transcendent (Swift Annihilation) The Swift Annihilation Build uses a combination of deadly attacks and spells from Monk and Cipher to handle any situation you may face. What I really like about this combination is that you combine 2 self sustainingClassesthat can regain resources through out the course of fight, so that they never have to just auto attack. Ciphers do this by attacking and Monks do this by being attacked, which means no matter what you do you are constantly gainingFocusorWounds.

Serafen’s stat spread is better for Turn-Based than Real Time With Pause because of the highMightand modestDexterity, but he can play the ranged or melee DPS role effectively due to a high Health pool.

When we sawVampyrlast year at E3 we came away from the presentation impressed by how the Action RPG from Dontnod Entertainment and Focus Home Interactive blended vampiric lore, action gameplay and ambiguous moral choices. Taking on the role ofDr. Jonathan Reid, a physician who has swore to do no harm, you must make difficult decisions on who, if anyone, to feed on in order to increase in power. We had a chance to see the gameplay again and find out how much it has progressed in a year.

Absolver Gameplay E3 2017 Details: Hands On, PvP, PvE, Game Modes and More
Absolvergameplay, although similar to some fighters with a touch of “Souls” mixed in, has the potential to be the best fighting game on PS4 for those that enjoy tactical combat and abhor “skill-less” button mashing . Because of theCombat Deck, a tool that players can use to fully customize their combos, the possibility that you will ever face the samestyleof opponent is next to absolute zero. The PvP encounters in the game simply have chasms of depth for those that wish to spend the hours learning to fight.

Monster Hunter Gameplay E3 2017: First New Look At Combat, Weapons, Monsters & Multiplayer
In classic Monster Hunter fashion, you will be taking on hunts from NPCs in the world and in the demo, we were able to see a timed hunt in a biome known as the Ancient Forest. These environments will have differing considerations, such as heat and cold and will have to be planned for when packing your consumables for the trip. Once the mission begins, you get a look at how the different monsters in the world interact, with the game’s beasts all following an interesting hierarchy that governs how they behave: who is the hunter and who is the hunted, who attacks and who runs away.

Demon’s Souls Lore & Myth Analysis: Archetypal Substructure Asshown previously,Demon’s Soulsmore-or-less obviously draws upon history, mythology, and psychology for inspiration. Now it’s time to look behind the scenes once more, where theMonomyth, or Hero’s Journey, waits patiently to be observed. Below. the story/events of the game are mapped onto the classic archetypal tale, step-by-step, as perthis basic overview.As a personal interpretation, this is just one of many possible projections of the game onto the Monomyth, which is itself only a rough outline of events that may or may not combine to produce it, and which is best served loosely – told metaphorically at times, and perhaps out of order, or incompletely – as strict adherence comes across as unoriginal and boring.

ESO 3 Years Later: Why I'm Still Playing Elder Scrolls Online
ESO 3 Years Later: Why I’m Still Playing Elder Scrolls Online MMORPGs are a particular sort of game, prone to love, hate, greatness and mediocrity a alike. I am not an MMO fan per se, but I religiously played LOTRO for years on end, had numerous server firsts on the most challenging raids in the game and dabbled in RIFT for a year or so. A rather peculiar aspect of MMOs is that they are built with 10 year cycles in mind.

Dark Souls: On Dragons, Gods, and Philosophers Seath the Scaleless, the Egyptian God of chaos, Seth, and Friedrich Nietzsche: What could this unlikely trio possibly have in common?

This writing aims to show that, but not to imply FromSoft’s intent; it is simply an observation of facts, which coincidentally align.

Aleorn: Heir of Cinder Book 1
Aleorn: Heir of Cinder Book 1 Aleorn was an Ashen like any other: lost, forlorn, alone in all things. His Darksign was the bond of his servitude, and like many before him, he sought to erase it; for while it was the exultant glory of life everlasting, it was also the cold, cruel shackles that bound him. He was not quite hollow – his gaunt yet human features attested to that – yet he strode nigh senselessly through the bitter realms, for his was a life neither lightened by purpose nor driven by hate, but something far different and altogether worse: empty.

Fort Triumph Preview: Hands On With A Fantasy X-COM
Fort Triumph Preview: Hands On With A Fantasy X-COM The X-COM franchise has developed a cult following of devoted fans.

AereA Preview: Playing A Role
AereA Preview: Playing A Role Music soothes the savage beast or so the saying goes. Sometimes it also slays the savage beast. That’s the premise behind upcoming RPG RPG AereA from developer Triangle Studios and SOEDESCO Publishing.

What I found was a game that seemed simple on the surface but upon further look had something to offer for every kind of player, and its unique musical theme was consistent, well conceived and not just a gimmick.

Why Nioh is Not a Dark Souls Clone
Why Nioh is Not a Dark Souls Clone Over the past few years, a new sub-genre ofDark Soulsinspired Action-RPG and games in general seems to have emerged, unofficially named “Souls-like”, “Souls-style” or aggressively “Souls-clone”. We have seen this label bring hatred towards excellent games such asLords of the FallenandSalt and Sanctuary, and promotion to others that aimed to captivate the “Souls audience”. And while there is no question in my mind that inspiration and love of games makes for certain characteristics of some games to bleed over the creations of developers worldwide, I am currently taking exception to the characterization ofNiohas a “Souls Clone”.

Consumer Narcissism and Game Review Score Inflation
Consumer Narcissism and Game Review Score Inflation So yeah, this week I’m going to criticize patterns of behavior I myself engage in. I’m fully aware of the underlying hypocrisy of the following argument. I’m not even sure if I wholeheartedly support the following argument. However, this is something I had that nagging feeling about. At any rate, It is something we as gamers should certainly be talking about. So here goes my crazy theory: The ridiculous degree of review score inflation in the gaming industry is in large part a shortcoming of our own making.

However some of the rather unusual designs are in fact based on real-life helms too.

Berserk References in Dark Souls 3 It is not a secret that rather a lot ofDark SoulsandDark Souls 2designs (characters, monsters, locations, weapons etc.) were inspired, and in a good way, by Kentaro Miura’s manga “Berserk”. And I guess it’s one of the many reasons people love the Souls series. There aren’t many games that allow to try this brilliant atmosphere that well, after all. Dark Souls 3introduces even more characters and content that is reminiscent of one of the best dark fantasy mangas.

Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Bloodborne have each had mechanics, weapon concepts, movesets, and level designs that worked incredibly well, but each and every one of these titles also had significant drawbacks that encumbered other aspects of the game.

My Close Encounter With Bloodborne I‘ve been fond of the Souls saga since Demon’s Souls, having played the game a year after release. A friend told me about the game and showed me all the features it had. I must confess that initially I wasn’t very excited and did not pay too much attention to his suggestion so I just told him “Ok, I’ll think about it”. After a few months I found myself looking for fresh new games to play and while staying at my friend’s house he told me again to try Demon’s Souls, I wasn’t looking for anything in particular anyway so I did it and I must say I was fascinated.

Nioh Alpha Demo Coming in April
Nioh Alpha Demo Coming in April After E3 last year we brought back somepreview footage and impressionsof a Samurai meets Dark Souls game calledNioh.

Set in a time of civil war in Japan, Nioh not only incorporates classic elements such as samurai and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore, but also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team Ninja, the team that defined brutal action games.

ダークソウル３ 完成披露試遊会
ダークソウル３ 完成披露試遊会 「ダークソウル３完成披露試遊会」に参加してきました。当日は東京、平日だったので、参加できなかった方に少しでも参考になれば幸いです。※ スマートフォン向けにページ作ってみました。 会場は公式ホームページで紹介されている通り、ブースがいくつかに分かれておりエスト瓶の飲み物体験プレイゾーン、DOWBLコラボTシャツの販売ゾーン、太陽の騎士ペインティングゾーンとなってました。 予約をすると応募権のもらえる 1/1 等身大 騎士フィギュア DOWBL コラボグッズは、会場のみで限定販売となる「赤」色のスマートフォンケースと篝火Tシャツが販売されていました。 来場者の先着順に与えられたアートブックは、９割ほど今までのダークソウルのイラスト気になる新情報はダークソウル３序盤のエリアマップが入っていたこと 序盤の全体MAPはこちら 体験会は整理券が配られ、ステージは「不死街」のボス「呪腹の大樹」までプレイ可能でした。 来場者数はおよそ４００名と見られ、試遊体験整理券は午後 18 時頃には無くなっていた模様。15:30 には 50名 がすでに行列を作っており、平日でこの人数は凄いと思います。 ゲーム画面の撮影は禁止だったので、新情報をお伝えすると、なんとダークソウルに出てきた「黒騎士」が登場！ダーウソウル３は、ソウルマスター宮崎さんの考えによると、一つの節目と感じておりデモンズソウル、ダークソウル、ダークソウル２、ブラッドボーンすべての要素を詰め込んでいるとのこと。 それは、アイテム、武器の説明文（フレーバーテキスト）に限らず、MAPにも含まれておりMAPを歩いていると、あれ？ここどっかで見たことあるなぁ・・という形状をしていて、ゲームをプレイしたプレーヤーがおもわずニヤリとする場面が多々あるとか。ゲームクリア後も色々な発見ができるよう工夫されているそうです。 既に、ある程度インターネットに上がっている武器の「戦技」は、同じ名前でも武器によって動作が異なり例えば「構え」は、武器を構えてから連続攻撃時のモーションが変わったり、敵の攻撃を受けてから反撃する時のモーションが異なる。など攻撃力の低い武器でも扱いやすいようにこだわって作られているらしい。尚、ソウルマスター宮崎さんは、今回、武器の説明文からMAPの構成に至るまで全てに介入して手掛けており、ほとんどの武器の説明文を宮崎さんが書いているとか！かなりのこだわりが感じられます。 あと、なんでこの試遊会は木曜日に開催したのか、を広報部長の小倉さんに聞いたところソウルマスター宮崎さんが来週 GDC * に参加するそうで、そうすると発売前で大人数の会場が抑えられる日＆毎週ニコニコ生放送で放映されているダークソウル攻略チャレンジの動画配信に合わせたそうです。急ぎで決まったイベントであったことと、時期的に他業種の企業説明会が多々あり、都内で土日の会場は抑えられなかったとか。 GDCとは？Game Developers Conference（GDC、ゲーム開発者会議の意）は毎年開かれる世界各国のゲーム開発者を中心とした会議 およそ２時間置きに、参加者の目を引くようなイベントが始まります。画像はライブペイントを行っている「れなれな」さんのイラスト。ゲームのために作成したモノクロ写真のようですが、これを来場者の目の前で描いていました。 だんだん恒例行事となってきたダークソウルーキャラクターコレクション（笑）会場内で参加者と一緒にゲームをしたり、イベントに驚いたりする姿がシュールでカワイイ。 彼らと一緒に記念撮影も行え、ダークソウル王の四騎士で人気のある「深淵の騎士アルトリウス」と「竜狩りのオーンスタイン」の２人の組み合わせにはたちまち人だかりが・・・。 試遊会もそろそろ終わり、というところで、参加者に配られた会場案内に記載された「抽選番号」による抽選会が開催。来場者に豪華プレゼントが提供されました。 最高の目玉は「4m × 4m 巨大タペストリー」のついたスタッフ限定Tシャツ＆ポスター。さらに PS4 本体につけられる PS4 HDDベイカバーの試作品（非売品）がついていました。このベイカバーは、ダークソウル３ PS4同梱版についている「騎士」のプリントがついたベイカバーの試作品で、篝火がプリントされている物。来場者には感嘆と共に、「これ、本気でどうするんだ・・」と言った戸惑いも。 抽選会で当たった景品は以下の通り。（確かもうちょっとありましたが割愛します）途中で帰宅した人の分はその場で再抽選を行いプレゼントされました。 試遊会レポートは以上です。 管理人の私は、残念ながら抽選会で何も当たりませんでしたが、DOWBL コラボ Tシャツを１枚だけ買うことができました。これ着て来週海外行ってきます。発売まであと２週間、乞うご期待です！ samurai_masurao You must belogged into post a comment.

Bloodborne: A Theme Analysis
Bloodborne: A Theme Analysis As I was playing theOld Hunters DLCforBloodborne, I came to realize something interesting about the theme of it, and certainly of the themes of the entire game, and that is the illusion of purpose that the hunters have and how the oppression and dire circumstances they are in drive them to keep fighting even though, if they just took a moment to think about what they were doing, they could see the insanity of it, similar to Djura.

Designing a Boss Fight for D&D: Vampire Lord Abner
Designing a Boss Fight for D&D: Vampire Lord Abner Vampire Lord Abner is my first D&D 5th Edition boss encounter published on DMs Guild. I draw inspiration from a variety of sources. My upcoming D&D 5e campaign was inspired by the phrase “to challenge the sun,” which is the title of the first episode of Full Metal Alchemist. I didn’t realize the phrase’s origin until I was about a third of the way through its design.

Dark Souls 3: Road of Sacrifices
Dark Souls 3: Road of Sacrifices We were given the opportunity by Bandai Namco to play an updated build ofDark Souls 3today (I believe it was updated on the 14th of March) and I wanted to share my experience with the community as well as share some information that may not be known about the game. I decided to go with theKnightclass. TheLongswordis generally my go-to in Souls games because of its fast attack speed and decent damage (add in the wickedStanceSkilland it’s really hard to find anything wrong with it), so this was a no brainer.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth: I Just Can't.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth: I Just Can’t. Ican’t do it anymore, I’m done. This game has just completely lost my interest. To be fair, Digimon Story, Cyber Sleuth has some good stuff going for it. Though it may be easier to have a knee-jerk reaction comparison to Pokemon at first, it’s actually quite a bit more like Persona or the Shin Megami Tensei series, though not as charming as the former, and not as difficult and grimdark as the latter.

A Childhood Love For Browser Based Flash Games
A Childhood Love For Browser Based Flash Games I‘ve always loved gaming, and by love I mean every kind and every platform can get me interested. Sometimes the best gems come from the most unexpected places, and that’s how I found some of the best games I ever played. Back when I was a kid, I didn’t have enough opportunities to fully enjoy the gaming consoles. Even with a PS1, I used to travel a lot due to my father’s work, and it was in one of those boring 90’s offices that I first discovered PC gaming, not to be confused with the PC gaming we know today.

A Journey Through Demon's Souls at Soul Level 1 - Part 1
A Journey Through Demon’s Souls at Soul Level 1 – Part 1 The difficulty of the games in From Software’sSoulsseries is often exaggerated, with too great an emphasis placed on it by individuals and companies who, for whatever reason, choose not to acknowledge the numerous other facets besides difficulty that make up these games. Because the fact is thatDemon’s SoulsandDark Souls– not so much the more cheap and lazyDark Souls II, in my opinion – are challenging, sure, but on the whole they’re also fair.

Let’s get to it… Emergence asked:“When Jermaine Jackson asked ‘Why don’t you do what you do when you did what you did to me?’ what was it that she did that he wanted her to do so much?” Most people will tell you that this is an allusion to something romantic, like tender kisses on the nape of a neck.

Game Reviews Part 2: What Can We Do?
Game Reviews Part 2: What Can We Do? With the problems mentioned inpart one, some are likely asking, how can we fix these issues? Some of the problems mentioned are obviously not able to be changed. Companies want to release games to make money, and there’s only so much money to go around. Likewise time is limited as well. So for three of our five problems, we have very limited things we can do to impact them.

Game Reviews Part 1: What’s Wrong With Game Reviews? Constantly games are boiled down to 7.9, 5.5, 4.7, 9.8, 8.5. The scores themselves end up being the most important part of reviews. Which if you think about it means that the score itself is more important than the reasons the game was given the score in the first place.

5 Games To Look Forward to in 2016
With the new year comes a clean slate of sorts. While I still haven’t playedMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,Rise of the Tomb Raideras well as a host of other games, I find myself already getting excited for what comes next. The main reason for this is the public consciousness, as everyone is now talking less and less about what their favorite games of last year were, and more about what they are most hyped for this year.

Dragon's Dogma Doesn't Need Co-Op
Dragon’s Dogma Doesn’t Need Co-Op This is going to be short and sweet. Co-op is an aggravatingly common request for games in general that have no need of it and wouldn’t benefit from its inclusion, but I feel like Dragon’s Dogma is a special case. Unlike most of the other games where people who don’t know what they’re asking for beg for co-op, Dragon’s Dogma at least seems to lend itself to the concept with it’s base systems.

Last week pre-orders opened for the Oculus Rift at $599.99 in the US (plus shipping and applicable taxes) which includes The Oculus Rift itself, Eve Valkyrie and Luckey’s Tale along with an Xbox One controller. After the initial sticker shock wore off, this price still seems to be a mistake. A mistake you say? Surely not.

In the early to mid-1970’s George Lucas was part of a new generation of maverick directors emerging in Hollywood, artists determined to shatter the norms which existed in the industry for nearly two decades.

Can't Get No Satis-Faction
Can’t Get No Satis-Faction The main storyline ofFallout 4revolves around the interplay between the 4 main factions of the game.

Players are able to take on missions from every one of the factions during a playthrough, which gives everyone an opportunity to hear their ideologies before making a committed choice.

This is whatDestiny’snew Sparrow Racing provides – Fresh, new fun. It’s a real breath of fresh air, and although derivative, succeeds thanks to the exceptional production quality that Bungie upholds.

Anyway, I was with a friend in the back of his parents’ truck on our way back from a craft show. We heard an extremely loud impact, which was followed by the truck pulling to the side of the road.

The Importance of Soundtrack and How Dark Souls 3 Nailed It (So Far) When it comes to soundtrack in games, most developers settle for “good enough”.

Bloodborne & Procedural Environments
Bloodborne & Procedural Environments Bloodbornehas an emphasis on quality over quantity. But I’d like to talk about one major feature which lacks both. Speaking as a fan ofchalice dungeons, I understand the average player’s aversion to them. Your introduction to the concept is a small, sparsely populated environment with weak enemies. There are no secrets; marvel at one or two rooms, throw the lever, kill the boss and repeat… then you stop paying attention.

How to Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 Part 2: PvP
How to Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 Part 2: PvP Please seeHow to Fat Roll To Success, Part 1: PvEfor the first entry in this heavyweight guide. The reason I began this crazy adventure and started this whole guide was due to PVP. Fatroll builds shine in PVP, due to completely obliterating the style of play your average player is used to.

Bloodborne: A Labor of Love(craft)
Bloodborne: A Labor of Love(craft) You find yourself beneath a purple sky. The odd hue bears down like a weight, oddly oppressive. Massive, cyclopean buildings of hewn rock sprawl as far as the eye can see. Statues and carvings of creatures described mainly in the ravings of lunatics decorate the city, providing a pervasive reminder that the veil of reality has begun to thin. An ancient woman in bedraggled clothing carries a ceremonial dagger.

Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 : PvE
Fatroll to Success in Dark Souls 2 : PvE Ihave gone back and forth about this guide. I’ve seen some grievous errors in what a “fatroll” build is and have wanted to set the record straight, so to speak. I’m a nut, I’ve played a fatroll build inDark Souls1 and was stubborn and kept playing them inDark Souls 2, even with the loss of “poise” as it was known in 1.

Age of Man Chapter 1: Onion Road
Age of Man Chapter 1: Onion Road During my time at the Undead Asylum, I began to wonder about this wretched dark sign. An undead’s life is like a fire that keeps burning, but it will eventually die, truly die. Of course, my travels on Lordran had taught me that the curse of the undead was thanks to Gwyn, the Lord of Cinder, or Sunlight in his prime. He really liked those flames, didn’t he?

Totality in Yharnam
Totality in Yharnam As we playBloodborne, just like in real life, we are preoccupied with everything around us that sometimes we forget to look up. Starting inCentral Yharnam, lost and confused, trying to make sense of the situation we are in. Yet, nothing has caught my eye more than the sun and its partner, the moon. Perhaps it is my thinking back to Solaire’s words:If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Bloodborne: Peering into Laughter
Bloodborne: Peering into Laughter Laughter, it is all around us, from joyous laughs to maniacal laughs. Laughter can ensue from a [bad] joke told at a party or it can be uttered due to uneasiness or feeling nervous. Scientists have shown that parts of the limbic system, which includes the hippocampus and the amygdala, are involved in laughter. Laughter is something that is always around us but we never really look into laughter itself.

From Software Has Been A Key Player In The Evolution of Gaming Difficulty
From Software Has Been A Key Player In The Evolution of Gaming Difficulty There was a time when gaming knew nothing of difficulty settings. Games came with but one: relentless. Defeating tough levels had but a single reward: the promise that your next one would be even worse. Early Atari and Nintendo titles such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong gave no quarter; in fact they took many (quarters, that is). As arcade machines they were designed this way to minimize the time each player spent on a game, thus making sure kids kept pumping paper route money into the slots in an addictive quest to get their initials at the top of the screen.

Everybody's Gone To The Rapture - This Is England
Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture – This Is England In this age of hyper realistic graphics, slick 1080p resolutions and cinematic presentations in games, why am I so focused on a stretch of tarmac? This isn’t any stretch of tarmac. There’s no cars screaming down it, no barriers set up for a cover based shoot out and most certainly no mutilated corpses on this stretch of tarmac. No, it’s just a stretch of road, which is what makes it so special.

A Look at Media Molecule's Dreams
A Look at Media Molecule’s Dreams Games as art. It’s a recurring topic in the gaming community and in general entertainment as the video game industry continues to grow and be taken more seriously. Beyond video games we so often ask, “Is this art?” for any creative venture. If we rearrange the question however, we wind up with something just as provocative: Is art a game? With Little Big Planet and Tearaway, unique developer Media Molecule has demonstrated a penchant for creating games that tease both questions, and their forthcoming PS4 release, Dreams, looks poised to now impose those questions.

Final Fantasy XV is set to release in 2016 (Date to be confirmed at PAX or TGS)
After a large (and public) fan outcry over a poor Gamescom showing by Square Enix for Final Fantasy XV it seems that fan patience for the title that is the encapsulation of development hell is at an all time low. In order to address this Square Enix seems to have green-lighted director of Final Fantasy XV, Hajime Tabata, to partially reveal the release date and to reassure fans of the title and series that everything is going as scheduled.

I hope Persona 5 is the Dark Souls of JRPGs
I hope Persona 5 is the Dark Souls of JRPGs I‘m going to unpack that statement now, because it has nothing to do with gameplay: For those unfamiliar with the series, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is a series of off beat, turn based JRPGs that play like demonic Pokemon meets your standard dungeon crawl meets The Sims with a story heavily influenced by Japanese mythology and Jungian psychology, with an emphasis on deconstructing variants of common JRPG and character tropes to explore the darker aspects of the psyche of fairly regular and relateable people.

To start, MS announced Rare Replay, a collection of Rare classics releasing today. Quantum Break was then shown in gameplay form. The animation and shooting evokes Uncharted, but with time‐altering powers. The player distorts time to create shockwaves, slow enemies, initiate bullet‐time, and a series of other cool powers. At the end of the demo, two enemies appeared and began using time‐altering powers themselves. They seemed able to disrupt powers used on them as well.

Bloodborne: An Analytical Review
Bloodborne: An Analytical Review Bloodborne, what freaking awesome game, I think one of the things I enjoy the most about it is probably the combat… And the art… And the music… And the creature design… And the atmosphere created when all of those things are combined. It’s interesting to me because I never have before and even now probably would not say that Souls games are my favorites. If someone asked me to make a list of my top 10 games, I probably wouldn’t include them.

It’s also true that some of the older players – like myself – might be missing the location of certain ones just because they did not co-op in certain areas (in my case Upper Cathedral Ward) and just want to know where these mysterious Pthumerians spawn.

A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 2
A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 2 By the late 1980s, the side-scrolling beat-‘em-up genre had become hugely popular amongst gamers, especially in the arcades, so it was no surprise that some companies who held licences to existing products from other mediums attempted to take advantage of this and create video games that applied a popular license to a popular genre. A good example was the arcade titleTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which I talked about in Part 1, and this was far from the last video game to feature the Turtles in an effort to exploit their popularity: the arcades later received the sequelTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time, which was also released on the Super Nintendo, while some Turtles beat-‘em-ups exclusive to home systems includedTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Projecton the NES, andTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heiston the Sega Mega Drive, although the latter title borrowed heavily fromTurtles In Time.

Bloodborne: New info and HYPE!
Bloodborne: New info and HYPE! Sony released plenty of new and exciting Bloodborne tidbits that are sure to have the gaming community salivating like a dog (a big, lycanthropic dog that might maul a fella or something). “Hello, PlayStation fans. I am excited to be able to share some brand new details for Bloodborne, our PS4-exclusive collaboration between Sony Japan Studio and FromSoftware. We’ll have much more to share in a few weeks at PlayStation Experience, but in the meantime here’s a sneak peek at some of the beautiful and nightmarish stages, enemies, and weapons you’ll get to see in the game this March, straight from the dark and twisted imagination of the masterful team at From Software.

A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 1
A History of the Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up – Part 1 It can be easy for some gamers to write off the side-scrolling beat-‘em-up genre as shallow and repetitive, especially when taking into account how the medium of video games has evolved and matured over the past two decades, but this is doing the genre a disservice. Side-scrolling beat-‘em-ups have actually taught us some interesting and valuable things, such as how breaking open a metal bin or a wooden barrel or crate can potentially reveal a delicious whole roast chicken or some similar food hiding within, and how eating such hidden food (well, more “absorbing” than eating) can instantly heal you no matter how badly you’ve been beaten, stabbed, burned, and generally battered.

Duct Tape Helmet: Man's NEW Best Friend
Duct Tape Helmet: Man’s NEW Best Friend Duct tape has existed for millennia. But it is only recently that mankind has unlocked it’s full potential as clothing. This year I decided to join the enlightened wearers of duct tape following the innocent Halloween time question to my four year old: “Do you want daddy to have a costume too this year?” I don’t know how the real Elsa from Frozen would have responded but my daughter naturally said “yes.

Retrospective – Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain “I didn’t care if I was in Heaven or Hell – all I wanted was to kill my assassins. Sometimes you get what you wish for.

The Forgotten Final Fantasy When Final Fantasy is mentioned minds will automatically wander across to the series’ more beloved titles such as VI, VII and X or even to its more controversial ones such as VIII and XIII. But there is one Final Fantasy title in particular that has been completely forgotten even amongst its own fanatical fanbase. (No, it isn’t Dirge of Cerberus … that game did not happen … it did not…!

Bloodborne: Alpha
Bloodborne: Alpha One of the FextraLife community’s most anticipated games has crept just a little bit out of the darkness. That’s right, the Bloodborne Alpha is less than 24 hours away. Taking place over three nonconsecutive days (Oct. 1, 3 and 5) with a three hour block on each day. Lucky FextraLife community members, Souls fanatics and From Software supporters that got in will surely be begging for more than the planned nine hours of Alpha.

Dark Souls 2: Pass Step Guide
Dark Souls 2: Pass Step Guide This technique is quite old, but I decided to make a guide for it anyway since it’s way more effective in Dark Souls 2, than it was on Dark Souls. I’m sorry that I forgot to include footage showing this technique used for backstabbing. Need more Dark Souls II? Join the community, or Wiki it up! Juutas Technically this is mechanically different than the “Ravioli step” (still dislike that name) The RS worked in DS1 because you could instant pivot during actions(attacking, parrying could be done in any direction when unlocked with a 1 frame turn around) So by starting a backstep, then instant pivoting to face the direction opposite where you wanted to go You could backstep in any direction very quickly.

TGS 2014: Details & Images of upcoming games
When Manga Entertainment released an English dub ofFist of the North Staron video back in the 90s, their marketing tag-line was “an epic assault on the senses.” This could equally be applied to the Tokyo Game Show, and then some.

[Review] Destiny
[Review] Destiny Destiny is the most anticipated game of the year. It has a budget of $500 million and and has earned that same amount shortly after release. Destiny will have a 10 year support plan as Bungie hopes that Destiny will be a universe that people will enjoy. Although it is very promising and has so much potential for a new franchise, is this new universe one that is welcoming, or would want us to stay away?

Retrospective: Sonic Adventure “SweetJesuslookatthatwhalethatlooksawesome!” That – or something along those unpunctuated lines, anyway – was the thought that ran through my head the first time I sawSonic Adventurein action. I was about 18 years old, a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed university student with a smile on my lips and a song in my heart, years before I became the angry, whiskey-soaked misanthrope I am today. I was in Another World (a shop that sold video games, comic books and other cool stuff), and they had a then-brand-new Sega Dreamcast on display, the console hooked up to a TV monitor showing aSonic Adventuregameplay demo on a loop.

Warning: Spoilerific I’m putting a spoiler warning atop this article, but really, for anyone with any passing interest in this alleged new horror game which surfaced at Gamescom, the cat is already well out of the bag – or perhaps more appropriately, the cockroach is already out of the bathroom. It should have been obvious from the beginning this was not all it was purported to be – a horror game ‘preview demo’ from a studio nobody has ever heard of gets announceda proposof nothing at Gamescom, which as a commercial event is well known as a venue for free coverage for beginners (ahem), and then gets its own segment on the Playstation Store.

Bloodborne: Gamescom 2014 Hands-On Preview
Fextralife’s Hands-on with the Next Generation of Souls Finding Sony Computer Entertainment Europe wasn’t too hard, nor was finding theBloodbornebooth. Among all the shiny bright-blue stages, screens and speakers bursting loud music & trailers, and on-stage hosts rallying the crowd with giveaways and contests; the weathered, pointy steel fence and graveyard-gate-like entrance to the Bloodborne showcase stuck out like a sore, dark-enchanted, grimy thumb. I introduced myself to the nearest member of the blue-shirted local Sony police force, who in turn kindly hooked me up with a media fast pass – and the license to cut line was badly needed, given one of the smallest kiosks got among the biggest attention.

Bloodborne: Early Lore Theories Dear Friend, take heedThe blood is foulAnd when night fallsThe hunters return This dialogue is very important. with the “Dear friend, take heed”, we can assume the man speaking either is close to you, or feels a kinship with you as he sets you off on your quest. I believe his role is the same as that of the old Firekeepers in Things Betwixt at the beginning of Dark Souls II, a wise sage, or an older character who establishes your reason to be in the world.

Everything You Must Know About Final Fantasy VII
Everything You Must Know About Final Fantasy VII The story of Final Fantasy VII is a fairly straightforward monomyth (hero’s journey), at least at face value. Our hero Cloud Strife starts off self-centered and uncaring but after spending time with friends he slowly becomes more empathetic. His crowning achievement is twofold: Never in gaming has there been a better presentation of the metaphorical (and in this case literal) story of “finding oneself.

Electronic Arts & Xbox One To Offer Subscription Gaming
Essentially, what these companies have done is create something akin to a Netflix model for game distribution. For anyone willing to wait 6 to 8 months into a game’s release, they can play it for what amounts to an extremely low fee. This bold move isn’t surprising, considering that even EA must realize how quickly the value of these annual games drop as the next one approaches. Yet, for casual players who do not drink the Kool-Aid every year, these titles represent incredible value-added content that neither Sony nor Microsoft’s premium membership can offer, especially when considering that sports titles have high value in the first year, but after two year become worthless since EA shuts down their servers.

Like VR, 3-D has periodically reappeared in the mainstream over the years, with each iteration improving upon the last.

Tired of gray spaces and boring places? Check out these new FPS IPs! In a video game genre dominated by sequels and iterations that often look identical to one another in their gray drabness, standing out from the crowd can be a tall order. Luckily, developers and publishers seem to have realized that gamers are thirsty for new and unique first-person shooter experiences. And though there will always be a place for the classic military shooters likeCall of DutyandBattlefield, some developers are betting big on original ideas and new IPs to pave the way for the next generation of first-person shooters.

Rollers of The Realm Slated for PS4, Vita and PC Ok, it looks like Atlus has revealed their unannounced game. A role playing pinball game? That sounds like a fascinating combination, but I shouldn’t be surprised such a title could come out of the indie scene. I think I’m starting to like the modern day Atlus, who not only publishes Japanese games, but indie games as well. Daylight may not have been as good as Outlast, but I appreciate the creativity that went into it, even if it just ended up being more frustrating than scary.

How Diablo II taught me about ethics and entrepreneurship
How Diablo II taught me about ethics and entrepreneurship Christmas lights twinkled in the garage, while a chorus of colon evacuations permeated the air with vile particulates. Since the ambient temperature was 30 degrees Fahrenheit – and we were morons – space heaters and desktop computers shared surge protectors. The power went out a couple times, but that wasn’t the only contradiction to our science education; duct-taped grocery bag insulation was not found to retain heat.

Lost Local Loyalty: The Decline of Offline Multiplayer
Lost Local Loyalty: The Decline of Offline Multiplayer I find it peculiar that the more advances we make in communications, the less connected we truly are. Social gatherings have become a mark on the proverbial headboard as opposed to an experience. Walk into a bar, and you’ll see heads bowed and hands clasped – people praying en masse to their digital outlet, updating their status to reflect how much fun they are having instead of actually experiencing the moment.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Witnessing a Metamorphosis
The Elder Scrolls Online: Witnessing a Metamorphosis Over the years I’ve often experienced this strange sensation while traversing the vast lands of Tamriel, immersing myself in its rich lore and atmosphere: this bizarre feeling that Bethesda had created their world just for me. Late nights assassinating NPCs for the Dark Brotherhood or fending off Daedric invaders has frequently evoked goosebumps and awe. Whether it’s fending off a vampire menace leading me to feel like humanities last bastion of hope in the darkness, or wielding the power of a dark lord making me feel like a force to be reckoned with, the Elder Scrolls series has always made me feel like an integral component to the world around me.

The entertainment news media continues perpetuating a ‘violence resulted from video games’ dogma to propogate an agenda.
Videogames and Violence: An Agenda Disguised as Reportage Frankly, it can be a rollercoaster reading news media these days. I was generally encouraged bySimon Parkin’s articlein theGuardianon April 20th on story-telling in videogames. This was a national newspaper piece on a broad topic which gets regular discussion in the videogames press: are videogames visual art, literature, or a mixture of both? The article references recent hits like Telltale Games’The Walking Dead, indie hitGone Homeand even ageing and frequently re-made classicThe Secret of Monkey Island.

Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks of All Time
Top 10 Video Game Soundtracks of All Time Quite possibly the most under-appreciated aspect of video games is the music. People obsess over graphical fidelity, control responsiveness, and level design, but sadly a game’s score is often glossed over. Yet a great soundtrack can drastically increase the gaming experience. Having the right music can be crucial to triggering a visceral, emotional response; to building excitement or emphasizing sadness. Can you imagine sitting through hours ofCivilization Vwithout its beautiful, ambient soundscapes?

I Might Feel a Little Bad For Microsoft.
I Might Feel a Little Bad For Microsoft. I think the late nights and occasional early mornings are starting to get to me, because I’m actually starting to feel a little bit bad for Microsoft. Note, when I say a little bad, I only actually mean a tiny bit bad and nothing more. Allow me to explain: As we all know, when the Xbox One was first announced it was host to all sorts of controversial features, like the inability to play used games and a requirement to always be connected to a broadband source.

Project Dark Ring Chapter One: Born in the Dark and Warmed By the Fire
Project Dark Ring Chapter One: Born in the Dark and Warmed By the Fire In the Age of Ancients the world was unformed, shrouded by fog. A land of grey crags, arching trees and everlasting dragons. Then there was Fire and with Fire came Disparity. Heat and cold, life and death, and of course… Light and Dark. Then, from the Dark they came and found the souls of Lords within the flame.

The Bioware Montreal director, Yanick Roy, says they haven’t even settled on a name yet. Roy was addressing a rumor that the new title would be called Mass Effect: Contact, and take place during the First Contact War – a rumor spawned and perpetuated by twitter.

Hajime no Ippo Review
Hajime no Ippo Review Way back whenI did my last review, I mentioned my personal challenge to find anime with good unarmed combat. What I found wasAir MasterandHajime no Ippo,and I swore to myself they would be the next two series I reviewed. If only I’d known how long of a road I’d laid out for myself with that second one. With as long asHajime no Ippohas been airing, I had more than my fair share of episodes to get caught up on, and it’s consumed almost all of my anime-watching time from that review to now.

Dark Souls and Climate Change
Dark Souls and Climate Change The world is on the brink of despair. Not so long ago, we prospered in a relative paradise by exploiting what was available in nature around us. But now that we’ve learned our actions affect our environment, the story has changed. Though we know our fuel taints and pollutes the environment and has disastrous consequences on our society, we desperately cling to the last few sources of energy left.

Project Beast is Likely a Shadow Tower Game
Project Beast is Likely a Shadow Tower Game Just a single day after I asserted on theINT Spec Podcastthat Project Beast was almost definitely Demon’s Souls 2, new evidence has caused me to completely alter my opinion. The newly leaked FROM game Project Beast – probably headed by ‘Souls’ mastermind Hidetaka Miyazaki – is likely a new entry in the Shadow Tower series. Shadow Tower is a first-person, action oriented role-playing game, released only in Japan on the Playstation.

Collections
Collections I won’t lie: I really like collections. I’m a gamer who enjoys a good variety of games, across most genres. Unfortunately, that means that there are way too many games out there, across all my systems, for even the most dedicated gamer in my shoes. I do my best to keep up, but it is inevitable that games will fall through the cracks. Sure, I usually wait for the more common games to drop in price to avoid overspending and fit more games into my budget.

Played the bells in the school band! Fun times! I escape the terrible Blighttown, more than happy to be breathing un-dank air. I look over to the side, and see the ledge leads onward, deeper into the Valley of the Drakes.

This may seem surprising given the seeming press and print focus of the company, but it is of note that Bandai Namco Holdings isone of the primary shareholdersof the company, which may shed light on this distinctive decision. The press release highlights the achievements of From Software such as owning its 3D technology and supporting successful international launches and recognition.

In the comments, I mentioned that my favorite console rts is a game called Goblin Commander for the ps2.

MAKE CHANGES TO YOUR WRITING!
Things Every Writer Should Know The internet is filled with articles and opinions; websites filled to the brim with content about everything from video games to basket weaving. And porn. Lots of porn. Peculiar perversions aside, the web is an excellent place for a new, enthusiastic writer to start projecting their thoughts and ideas out into the world. If you’re one of those fledgling wordsmiths, first off I applaud you. Writing is a rewarding and stimulating hobby that allows you to creatively convey your cerebral kookiness to the rest of the world.

Where All Stands Still: Dark Souls
Where All Stands Still: Dark Souls Istep forward, into the stillness of past regrets. Nothing’s changed here, nothing has been touched in ages. Everything sits, eerily waiting for its savior. One can tell the history was made here, some event, which has since been lost to time, occurred at this very place. The sky is blotted out by the vast cloud cover, giving the land a melancholy coloring. A structure lies in the distance, a very large structure which, at a time, must have been a grand spectacle.

PS4 Update 1.70 Announced.
PS4 Update 1.70 Announced. Oh, the ps4. A system that has sold over seven million units in a relatively short time frame. For all the strong sales figures, however, gamers are constantly complaining about its lack of features. Sure, some will argue that game systems are about the games, and I agree with that, but consoles have become much more versatile devices in the past decade, and I don’t think people are out of line for wanting more features either.

The Last of Us, and Why it Didn't Blow My Mind, but Also, Why I Think That's Ok.
The Last of Us, and Why it Didn’t Blow My Mind, but Also, Why I Think That’s Ok. Ah, The Last of Us. Naughty Dog’s latest, which set the Internet on fire, in a remarkably short time frame. Actually, the game was hyped up before it was even released, but it lived up to that hype, and then some. I remember, shortly after the game’s launch, hearing so many people, critics and fans alike, going on and on about what an emotional ride this game is, and how it took videogame based narratives to a whole new level, not previously seen before.

Its just talking about crazy students and there crazy lives, and somehow it works really well in this anime.

Is a “game” really a game if we can’t lose?
Zero Sum Most modern video games are a series of encounters. These encounters vary in name genre to genre and game to game. We call them quests, battles, traps, levels, or dungeons. On the surface, each one pits us against a particular adversary: monsters, treacherous terrain, a countdown timer, a puzzle. But peeling back the gameplay facade – moving past the viewpoint of players as characters and looking at the players as players – the real antagonist is the game designer.

Dark Souls 2 Total Lore and Location Breakdown
Dark Souls 2 Total Lore and Location Breakdown Well, it’s been nine days (for me) since venturing back into the world of Dark Souls. Nine days of death, frustration, oppression, elation, wonderment, and obsession. And, like several others I have seen around the internet, I have noticed some striking similarities between Drangleic and our former home of undeath in the world of curses and souls: Lordran. In fact, I personally believe that it has become rather undeniable that Drangleic stands on the same area of land that Lordran did, as evidenced by many hints and clues left in the game.

Dark Souls Lore: On Crossbreed Priscilla Hood worn by the alabaster-clothed guardians of the paintings in Anor Londo. Offers substantial protection against magic. They have guarded the Great Painting of Ariamis for ages, passing their duty down through generations, but the reason for doing so passed from all memory long ago. An interesting note is that the reason they guard the great painting passed fromallmemory. The obvious meaning is that the guardians don’t know why they guard the painting, but is there a deeper implication?

5 Games Made for Trophy Hunters
5 Games Made for Trophy Hunters Alright, well before we start this list off I’d like to do a bit of explaining on why these games are made for trophy hunters. Now the main goal for many of us that hunt for trophies consists of obtaining the platinum trophy or unlocking all of the trophies available, the same also goes for those that hunt for achievements on Xbox. However, one thing I always say about obtaining these trophies isn’t that we should place a large amount of value on the platinum itself but rather the journey towards the platinum.

Why I Love Dark Souls
Why I Love Dark Souls When I tell people that Dark Souls is one of my most-loved games, sometimes I get a weird look. A lot of people ask “Why? What’s so great about it?” I’ve been able to tell them the basics — the combat is smooth and authentic, the atmosphere is engrossing, the gameplay is punishing but fair, and the sense of achievement after winning a fight or discovering a bit of lore is bar none in modern gaming.

Are Games Crippled By Easy Modes? When you start up some games for the first time you have a very important decision to make (once you’ve passed the loading screens and company logos). What difficulty to play on? Take it easy and make your way through the story? Or play it on hard to truly challenge yourself? A rose by any other difficulty would smell as sweet? Rayman games are known, by the few people who play them, for their difficult platforming.

After sitting on it for a good few months now I don’t think I’m going to get any more sudden clarity so I figured I might as well just go for it and hope something ends up working.

Introduction to Anime
Introduction to Anime What is Anime? Anime is a type of Animation usually from Japan. They have their own style and it can show that in strange and wonderful ways. Anime also has its own sense of comedy and has a unique way of thinking. It can get really deep and serious, or it can become the silliest and craziest thing you have ever seen. Anime is also related to manga, which is similar to the super hero comics, well, in the way that its presented.

The main purpose of these miesters and their weapons is to make a Death Scythe, which is a weapon Lord Death, the miester’s leader, can use.

My Top 5 RPGs of All Time
My Top 5 RPGs of All Time I’ve always been a huge fan of Role Playing Games. I don’t know why they appeal to me so much. I love the worlds surrounding them, the characters with in them, the choices you get to make and the consequences you must live with. I love that often times you think you will play your protagonist a certain way based upon the opening narrative and the class you select, and then you find yourself at the end of the game and things are markedly different.

Game of the Year: The Last of Us
This was a landslide one and it’s a hard one to deny. Naughty Dog continues to outdo themselves, unbelievably creating a new franchise that stands with Uncharted. This is a game that would stand tall in even the most jam packed gaming year. It’s really hard not to hand ND this award and not simply because they developed the game of the year. They continue to be an example of a video game developer who does things the right way, creating games that follow their vision while also engaging the fans.

The game is graphically beautiful and McFarlane really did the hype justice and delivered a wondrous environment for our adventures. The gameplay I have found to be rather rewarding. You have a Primary and Secondary Weapon which Can be Any combination of any and all weapons found within the game: You can mix a Greatsword with Daggers or a longbow with FaeBlades.

Starbound: Reaching for the stars Starbound is an upcoming extraterrestrial sandbox adventure game by the new developer Chucklefish.

Playing as an Avian, I was forced to flee my home planet, but eventually ran out of fuel and had to make a stop on a new world to re-stock.

Green Lantern: A Geeky Love Letter
Green Lantern: A Geeky Love Letter I love comics and have since I was young, thanks to an encouraging uncle and parents who saw the literary merit in comics, even if they did not entirely get the medium. Making my way to the local comic store to pick up the current issues from my pull list was a day I looked forward to each week. Holding that stack of comics and the anticipation of the next few hours of reading put me at ease in a way few pastimes ever have.

Mythic Dark Souls (pt 2) : The Departure
Mythic Dark Souls (pt 2) : The Departure The most important component of the departure is context. We must acknowledge that the game and our character do not exist in a vacuum. Dark Souls does this through the opening cinematic, introducing the setting and story premise. Together with our own selections of character class, features, and gift, a rudimentary sense of continuity is established. That sense is crucial to grasping some later concepts, but the game leaves the finer points of imagining who your character once was to you.

Mythic Dark Souls (pt 1) : What is the Heroes' Journey?
Mythic Dark Souls (pt 1) : What is the Heroes’ Journey? In 1949, a psychologist named Joseph Campbell published a book entitledThe Hero with a Thousand Faces. In this work, he examined stories and legends from around the world, filtering away the specifics of culture, region, and circumstance to expose universal psychological truths buried beneath the surface of these disparate stories. These commonalities have been with us since ancient times, subtly present in tales as far-ranging asJourney to the West, the legend of King Arthur, and even the stories of multiple notable figures in the Bible.

Some offer assistance and protection from invaders, others bring new goals such as defending areas, and some demand the blood of other players. Most likely related to the bells that the player must ring in order to access Sen’s Fortress in Dark Souls, this covenant seems to feature a black form for its players when as phantoms.

Air Master Review I was hanging out with my roommates one night and we got on a martial arts movie clip binge where we’d all look up fight scenes from various martial arts movies and bask in the kung fu action. I had a thought of “anime has a lot of over-the-top fight scenes too, I should find some of those to show!” At which point I realized that every series I’d ever seen with good fight scenes all involved armed combat with weapons, nothing hand-to-hand to match the mood of the night.

The Grumpy, Ageing, Cynical Gamers’ Guide to “Next-Gen” At leastStar Trekhad the decency to have only one ‘next generation.’ The first episode aired in 1987, about a year before the release of Sega’s Mega Drive. The Mega Drive was arguably the first ‘next generation’ games console, succeeding the Master System. Of course, there were Atari’s efforts from the 70s, but as that all went horribly wrong (with landfills full of ET cartridges) there was no continuity from Atari’s demise to the original Famicom or Master System.

Dark Souls II Network Test: A Return To Drangleic The first large-scale Dark Souls II Network Test left a bitter taste in the mouth of many fans of the series. Server issues meant players in North and South America weren’t able to access the test at all and those in the EU region, who were able to log on, were left with a version in which multiplayer mechanics didn’t function. There were also criticisms of the combat from some players, who believed it didn’t feel as tight and responsive as the first Dark Souls.

Pokemon Origins Review The key term to keep in mind when going into this (rather short) series is “nostalgia.” If you’re in your late teens/early twenties and part of Generation X where the very first Pokemon games (and I meanveryfirst, Red/Green/Blue only, anything after, including Yellow, and you’ve missed the timeframe) were pivotal and defining moments of your childhood, this show was made for you. For the newer generation of fans this is not going to be much more than a “this is how things used to be” kind of thing.

As an avid fan of the series I’d eagerly signed up for the Closed Beta Test at the start of this month but, like most, missed out on it.

A Noob's Journey: League of Legends
A Noob’s Journey: League of Legends For quite a long time, I have heard the exploits of League of Legends. As I am sure you have too. It has become so known throughout the world that there are huge tournaments, and it is hard to not meet someone that plays it. So of course, with all the hype about a game that so many people spend all their free time on, one would want to play it to see what is so good about it.

Demon's Souls: Three Years Later (Part 8)
Demon’s Souls: Three Years Later (Part 8) Last time;our noble hero ran away and hidfrom a God in a spectacular display of allowing someone’s else weapons of old to do the work for me. After not being squished like a bug and picking some Dragon boogers (the flamiest!) I tried to storm a castle of humanoids and got killed by a knight. In true Souls fashion, I quit. It’s time to go back and settle the score, once and for all!

Anime Previews and First Impressions of the Fall 2013 Season
PS: I won’t be talking about any sequel series. The obvious rule with those is that if you enjoyed the first series then you’ll enjoy the sequel, and if you haven’t seen the first series then you shouldn’t watch the sequel. Coppelion This has already proven itself to be a rather intense series. You get thrown right in to where that summary leaves you. No build-up, just jumping right into being stranded in a nuclear wasteland with little direction as to what’s going on.

TV Show Review: Arrow
TV Show Review: Arrow I’m hooked. Into a show I never thought I’d watch but here we are. The Arrow has struck me down and pulled me in. I thank my love of comics for beseeching me to give this show a chance. One marathon session in and I decided a review would be proper because it’s shows like this that really spread via word of mouth. What I won’t do is compare it to the Green Arrow comics.

The World of Dark Souls II
Dark Souls II Beta- What we know. Part I The first beta brought a lot of information to light, and we thought we’d be kind and give you all a write up that would sum up a lot of things you guys have questions about. I will put a disclaimer here that there will be spoilers. A lot of spoilers. So if you don’t wish to have your brain commit details of what Dark souls II contains to memory, I suggest you maybe go back to the home page.

Demon's Souls: Three Years Later (Part 7)
Demon’s Souls: Three Years Later (Part 7) I’ve just stood up to a small woman… That’s not entirely accurate is it? I did that at first. Then she decided to gang up on me and I hid behind stuff and shot her. Still though, way to go me! This is of course after I destroyed a phantom lying in ambush (the second time) and absolutely did not get killed by a crossbow tower in a horrific shower of pointy things.

Hitting the Old Dusty Trails
Hitting the Old Dusty Trails Hiking, backpacking, and trail running are some of our oldest recreational activities. For the outdoor enthusiast, few things are more enjoyable than gearing up and hitting a trail solo, with friends or with a faithful pet. It’s an activity that anyone can enjoy regardless of age and it has very real physical, mental and spiritual benefits. For me being on the trails is my preferred way to stay in shape.

Hikaru no Go Review
Hikaru no Go Review Anyone who’s seen anime has seen “that show.” The show about a boy/young man who embarks on a journey of growth in a particular skill or field, facing stronger and stronger opponents on their way to become the best of the best (supernatural assistance in reaching that point incredibly common but generally optional). It’s a tried and true formula that’s been around nearly as long as the medium itself.

This Game is Terrible: Tales of Symphonia 2 I picked this game to write about specifically because I hate it and I think you should too. Usually I don’t try to push my opinions on other people in my articles. Or at least I don’t think I do. However, this time is an exception. I will actively try to get you to understand why this is one of the worst sequels in modern video game history and a below-average standalone game at best.

My First Time Through Dark Souls
My First Time Through Dark Souls First, a short thanks to some guys in the chat for inspiring me to write about this today. It’s been a few months since I first started playing dark souls, and again a few months since I first beat the game. It took me only a few days to get through it, of which I’m not sure is the average or not. However, I feel it might be fun for some people to read my first time through dark souls and perhaps share their own experiences.

Rumor: Dark Souls 2 to have in-game Chat?
Rumor: Dark Souls 2 to have in-game Chat? It has come to our attention that certain stipulations on Dark Souls 2 Beta EULA make it apparent the game will feature some sort of chat. This would be a big change for the series, so we are skeptical It is worth nothing that EULAs often have general clauses that are not applicable to specific games as they are mass-produced and then fine tuned with specific options.

Or is everything either black or white? Well, shockingly, that ”grey” zone is actually present! And it’s also quite possibly the biggest portion of the cake that is the world of motorcycles.

Rockstar's GTA Online Still Navigating A Rocky Launch
Rockstar’s GTA Online Still Navigating A Rocky Launch By now, you’ve probably heard that the launch ofGTA Online, heralded by many to be the “next big thing” as far as multiplayer games, did not go as smoothly as Rockstar had hoped. A host of server related issues and bugs have rendered the mode nearly unplayable for many people. While this is to be expected, to some extent, when anything this ambitious launches, it can still be a frustrating experience.

Going Beyond Death At Eurogamer Expo
Going Beyond Death At Eurogamer Expo It’s fair to say the Souls series (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls and the forthcoming Dark Souls II) does things a little differently from its fantasy RPG peers. Granted, at their core, Souls games aren’t especially groundbreaking. They pit swords and sorcery against hideously evil creatures in locales befitting of a fantastical world; enchanted forests, tombs populated by undead, dingy dungeons and crumbling castles. All sounds very familiar, right?

Fextralife’s Most Wanted: Deep Down One of the upcoming games we’re looking forward to here at Fextralife is Capcom’sDeep Down, slated to be released on PS4 sometime next year.Although not many details are yet known about the game itself, having watched all the footage I could get my hands on has me drooling already. Deep Down is an action RPG created by Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono. From what we can deduce of the story so far, it would seem some cataclysmic event occurs in the distant future, plummeting the main character (and presumably everyone else) into a modern day Dark Ages.

Steam Family Sharing: Finally! Today we learned aboutSteam’s “Family share” program. The beta testing is by registration and with limited spaces, so make sure to visit the page and register if you would like access. The PC market’s application of “One purchase one user” has been used to defend the Xbox 1 original value proposition and to signal that eventually everything would go that way with consoles as well. It would seem Steam has some intelligence against these common notions and is acting to implement a system that allows you to share your offline/solo adventures with registered PCs.
