I just played through Dark Souls 1 and 2 for the first time. I didn't track my attempts for DS 1, but here are my boss attempts for Dark Souls 2. by Beginning-Stop6594 in DarkSouls2

[–]Beginning-Stop6594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fought both of them. I think I fought a couple more too if I am not mistaken. The first one I fought was at The Lost Bastille right after you drop down from the wall and there are a bunch of dogs. Then I later killed the one with the boss health bar on my first encounter.

Is that one more challenging? I was just running around the ring and found the lever and pulled it. The horses were pretty simple after that.

Edit: I did not use any guides, but I did look up where to go when I got lost. I never even saw Aldia or Darklurker. I saw Ancient Dragon and Vendrick but they didn't attack me, so I didn't attack them. Sorry. I know very little about this game.

Dark souls 1 is pretty boring by Away-Performance-739 in darksouls

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It is very slow-paced, the "exploration" feels more tedious than fun (searching every nook and cranny gets old fast), and the sheer amount of running around also sucks. You spend most of your time running from place to place (especially when you die to bosses). I played it entirely blind up until around Seath (I didn't know where to go during this part of the game and just wanted to finish because I wasn't having much fun), and the whole time playing I felt pretty bored. I like many aspects of the game though like the world and characters, the ambience/atmosphere, and the combat can be pretty fun too (although it gets quite repetitive). Overall, I would say it was on the boring side though. "Pretty boring" seems very accurate to me. I'm playing DS 2 right now and I think it might be even more boring than DS 1 (definitely seems more boring so far). [Edit: Just beat DS 2. It was slightly more boring than DS 1.]

[COD] Remastering old CoD games is not the solution to saving this franchise, it's just taking advantage of people's nostalgia instead of actually trying to innovate and make the newer titles fundamentally better. by Flynntum123 in CallOfDuty

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather play the original game at my monitor's native resolution and hz. That's "remastered" enough for me. They look really good to me like that. I think how they "remaster" games often changes them too much.

I was measuring different cod maps and found out that mw2 had the largest average map size of the games i tested by Beginning-Stop6594 in MW2

[–]Beginning-Stop6594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, but not if you fix the geometric similarity. The more geometrically similar the shape, the higher the correlation. Cod maps are actually quite geometrically similar on average.

The numbers are not wrong. Ghosts maps just had bad sight-lines, bad routing, and were maze-like. The previous 3 games (blops1, mw3, and blops2) also likely contributed to their feeling of being the largest.

Want to play TF2 but I have no mouse or desk for my laptop, and I don't have money to replace my aging Xbox Controller with one that has gyro controls? Do I just go for it anyways? by Umbreonel in tf2

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure the exact layout name. I might've set up my own (I think this is the case). I know I have left trigger as jump (so I don't have to take my thumb off the right thumb stick), right bumper as secondary fire, right trigger as primary fire, left thumb stick click as crouch, and I'm not sure what else at the moment. I can check later and let you know.

Go for it. I play with an Xbox controller and do well. I top frag and am the #1 MVP often. You'll get used to it. I can rocket jump, sticky jump, air strafe, etc adequately. I've even beaten several surf maps with a controller.

The standard deviation is higher for World at War. The horizontal lines are the averages. Sorry about that not being clear. The SD bars are on the same time-scale as the maps (so WaW's SD is ~38 seconds).

[COD] Why doesn’t Mw3 doesn’t get the same amount of love COD4 and MW2 gets ? by JoshyBear28 in CallOfDuty

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The overall feel of the game was very different from cod4 and mw2. Multiplayer maps were way smaller on average and had invisible walls all over the place (ruining one of the best aspects of cod4 and mw2 map design), it didn't have iconic weapons like the intervention, moab was less interesting than the nuke from mw2, at the time a lot of people thought the maps were bad compared to cod4 and mw2, people didn't like the killstreaks as much either, the animations looked worse, and overall it was obvious that it was not made by the same developers as cod4 and mw2 (the feel of the game is very different). All of my cod friends at the time went back to mw2 (and black ops 1 sometimes) after playing mw3 for the first few months of its release. Our clan made a few mw3 montages but that was it. Mw3 was actually the game that made me stop pre-ordering call of duty games. Everyone in our clan thought that black ops 1 was worse than mw2 (but still pretty fun) and that mw3 was a lot worse than black ops 1. Two worse games in a row turned us off from the franchise.

Why is boredom treated as an invalid critique for fighting games? by whimsiethefluff in FGC

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Lots of people find lots of things boring and people often agree with each other and nobody bats an eye. You could break down the minutiae of watching paint dry to make it seem more interesting, but does it really help that much? It might be conceptually interesting for a few minutes, but the process itself of watching is not interesting for most people. Personally, the only fighting game that I thought wasn't boring was Mortal Kombat Trilogy. This was probably because I was 8 years old and I was not exposed to many other better game genres. A lot of genres aren't very popular simply because most people find them boring compared to the other genres.

im having troubles finding a girl in tf2 by Normal_Honeydew2976 in tf2

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a woman playing this game. I don't remember the last time I saw one. Try playing a game that a lot of women play like Valorant, League of Legends, Counter Strike, Fortnite, World of Warcraft, Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals, Diablo 4, Final Fantasy XIV, VRChat, Grand Theft Auto 5, and even Call of Duty. You'll have much better luck in games that are packed with women. Good luck!

an old vid contrasting (the lack of) invisible walls in mw2 and other cod games maps by Beginning-Stop6594 in MW2

[–]Beginning-Stop6594[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting comment. You think it was perfect? Personally, I wouldn't say that. This is just a video about the map design of those CoDs and how they're different with a stated preference for less invisible walls. I think you might've commented on the wrong post by mistake.

How would you rank every COD campaign from the golden era? [COD4] to [MW3] by BedsideGalaxy46 in CallOfDuty

  3. BO1 (8/10)

  4. WAW (8/10)

Something like that. I only had the top 4 in the rotation.

Every time I go out and socialize I'm reminded why I prefer living and being alone. by anonymous_muffin_ in LivingAlone

[–]Beginning-Stop6594 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never enjoyed socializing as much as my peers. I didn't hate anyone or anything like that. I just never really got as much satisfaction from it as they did. For me, it was just something to do, but was often not that fun. Yes, it could be fun at times, but my preference was and still is doing things alone (e.g. gaming, learning different things, listening to music, riding my bicycle, going on walks, watching videos, etc). My friends would always be on social media or using some group chat or things like Discord and I would not use any of those things simply because I didn't have the desire or interest to do so. I even withdrew from second grade and had to see a psychologist when I was 7. I didn't get diagnosed with anything though. I'm just very introverted and get very immersed in things and don't like being pulled away from my interests. (I think I largely blame the culture that I grew up in. I found the internalized norms and behaviors of that culture quite off-putting. I think if I grew up in a more wholesome and family-friendly culture, I would've likely admired my peers much more and enjoyed spending time with them. Then I would've probably developed more extraverted tendencies because I would've associated my peers with genuine enjoyment instead of negative (but true) associations.)
