Still, I know a lot of people who enjoy the art direction. The first boss in <i><a href="https://youtu.be/HoFpWsRY1iY" rel="nofollow">Dark Souls 3</a></i> [language warning] is, uh, pretty interesting. I know where you're coming from, though.

It's fun. I wish I could play it myself, but the family would complain. I even showed my eldest daughter one fight sequence that I thought she'd appreciate, but no.

The player I'm following doesn't appear to have any trouble like that. He's using X-Box Live about four years ago.Phil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261840720705703731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025264318423694875.post-27564257424290582342016-05-26T20:35:59.073-04:002016-05-26T20:35:59.073-04:00Huh.

Looks interesting, although I was never any good at <i>Myst</i>.<br /><br />I got the first <i>Dark Souls</i> for $5 when it was on sale, but I could never get it working properly. It's a notoriously terrible port from Japanese systems. <i>Dark Souls 2</i> runs much better, but I suspect I'll never actually finish it. It's such a demanding title, and I'd rather do other things than pour 70 hours into it.

It's enjoyable. I'd like to try it, but I don't have the means. My family would be repulsed too. I could try Obduction instead. That's the kind of thing I've played in the past anyway.Phil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261840720705703731noreply@blogger.com
