Quote from: Dunkstein and Slamough Comments on January 17, 2013, 11:28:36 AM

In the Age of Ancients, The court was unformed, shrouded by fog.
A land of grey hoops, empty bleachers, and everlasting referees.
But then there was B-ball. And with B-ball came Disparity.
Dunks and three-pointers, fouls and free throws, and of course... Slams and Jams.
Then, from the Bench, They came, and found the Souls of Ballers within the jams.

Mikan, the First of the Ballers.
The Wilt of Chamberlain, and his sons of Harlem.
Jordan, the Lord of Air, and his faithful Bulls.
And the furtive Barkley, so easily forgotten.
With the Strength of Ballers, they challenged the refs.
Jordan's mighty dunks peeled apart their stiped uniforms.
The Globetrotters weaved great passes.
Mikan unleashed a miasma of blocks and rebounds.
And Shaq the Scaleless betrayed his own, and the refs were no more.

Quote

Yes, Indeed.
The Dunksign brands the ballers, and in this land, the ballers are corraled and led off the court, where they are locked away, to await the end of the season.
This is your fate.

Ah, hello! You don't look like an amateur, far from it!
I am Solaire of the NBA, an adherent of the Lord of Sports.
Now that I am in the pros, I have come to this great court, the birthplace of Lord Barkley, to seek my very own B-ball!
… Do you find that strange? Well, you should!
No need to hide your reaction. I get that look all the time!
Hah hah hah!

Dark Souls: The Wrath of the Darkwraith

On the PC version, you can now guarantee you can find your friends' sign and summon them within seconds.

Haven't used it yet myself but the feedback seems positive.

I've been playing Demon's Souls again, just to go back and have a bit of a different experience, and I'd forgotten some of the really awesome and bizarre shit about this game, and also some of the things that are missing, or totally different. Like weapon upgrades. Holy shit is that expensive. Want any high tier weapon upgrades? Hope you fucking love lizards.

At any rate though, this game still holds up, much better than I would have thought given how ambitious Dark Souls was by comparison, and I suggest going back to anyone who's spent a lot of time in Lordran.

There were definitely some quality-of-life changes between the two, but yeah DeS is just a really solid, good game. Arguably nails atmosphere a bit better, in some parts.

Bal · « **Reply #592 on:** April 08, 2013, 08:56:11 PM »

I think there a definitely certain high points in terms of atmosphere that out do just about everything in DaS, like 3-2 for instance. They also managed to make you feel more connected to the bosses, both in terms of the overall story, because they are greater demons and killing them is part of the whole point, but also in terms of the personal histories of the bosses themselves. In terms of actually fighting them though, I think DaS is a step ahead, to the point that these feel easy now.

Cthulhu-chan · « **Reply #593 on:** April 08, 2013, 09:56:41 PM »

Maneaters, Flamelurker, and False King remain pretty nightmarish, so long as you're fatrolling. The proper dodge is pretty godlike compared to what you have in DaS.

False King is still kind of a prick regardless, but he's not the brick wall I remember back when.

Bal · « **Reply #594 on:** April 08, 2013, 10:30:23 PM »

I was able to beat Man-eaters and false King on my first try each, and Flamefucker on my second try. Compared to soloing Oreo and Smores, or Manus, it's just not at the same level. The one thing that did give me trouble is Doran, because he's just an unrelenting badass. I never fat rolled at any point in this play, though, because that is part of knowing better.

Malikial · « **Reply #595 on:** April 09, 2013, 06:28:03 AM »

False king never was really hard for me. I don't ever remember him taking me longer than 2 tries. He telegraphs his attacks like the anime he is.

Everyday he anime.
Everyday he anime...
Everyday he anime......
Everyday he anime!

Bal · « **Reply #596 on:** April 09, 2013, 04:20:48 PM »

False king has one really dangerous attack, which is his untelegraphed, sudden as fuck jumping slash. He often does it as a sort of counter attack, and it is extremely difficult to avoid sometimes. Fortunately it is short range and being far away from him is the best strategy, so it doesn't matter. Oh, I didn't see it this time, but he also has an endless melee combo that does some kind of magic damage so severe that even Dark Silver Shield + ring of magical dullness isn't enough to save you. That shouldn't come up either, because as stated, just stand away from him until he charges up his AoE, and then club him to death.

DeS phantoms of other online players is better. I feel the whole 'Alternate realities' vibe comes through better than the DaS phantoms. Especially in the boss arenas.

Bal · « **Reply #598 on:** April 09, 2013, 05:32:40 PM »

The thing about that is that with DeS we're all on the same server, so if there is anyone there at all, no matter where they're playing from, you will see their phantoms, messages, and soul signs. Whereas with DaS, it's peer-to-peer, and the netcode sort of floats you around these miniature networks of people who become available to your for various online behaviors. This is why you'll see, even now, a message in DeS with 1000+ recommendations, where in DaS one with recommendations in the double digits is rare.

I thought the online servers for Demons' Souls were shut down?
