BomGood morning friend, how are you? I'm thinking about how to reach level 5, add an icon, and change my banner.

Mornin' mornin' my dude, I'm well and how're you? :) Well you're nearly at level 5 already - You're like a speed-runner! What are you thinking of changing your icon and banner to?

 

[Lod 10]

Você vai morrer muito? Sim. Vai ficar furioso com o jogo? Muito. Vai querer quebrar o controle e nos xingar por termos feito você jogar? Com certeza. Mas é isso mesmo, o jogo tem um certo charme, as pessoas o adoram apesar das centenas de horas de esperança e sonhos destruídos. Experimente por um tempo, é um jogo recomendado, assim como muitos outros do mesmo estilo. E lembre-se... confie na sua intuição neste jogo.

Ele eraIt was the day I discovered my favorite game, Yakuza, even though I can't buy the games anymore, I only downloaded the demos which are very good.

When I think of the 2000's, I think of Pop music bands, Crazy Frog, frosted tips hairstyles , polyphonic ringtones, bloom, bright, the PS2, Dance Dance games, Eminem and sunglasses.

Also, Demon's Souls came out in 2009, so that just about counts too!

Quando penso nos anos 2000, penso em bandas de música pop, Crazy Frog, penteados com pontas descoloridas, toques polifônicos, Bloom, Bright, PS2, jogos de Dance Dance, Eminem e óculos de sol.

Além disso, Demon's Souls foi lançado em 2009, então isso também conta!

Thanks for the tips, I'll start decorating.

EUI just need to know what would be a good idea. My profile is of my favorite Pokémon, but I can't add a signature because the image isn't showing up since I'm on my phone.

Remember to start with Black Souls first

I liked the first Dark Souls because of the world design. I haven't played the other but from what I understand the world design is different so I haven't really had much interest in them. The way the multiplayer was setup in Dark Souls 1 is one of the coolest systems I've seen in a game and I don't really play multiplayer games.

 

[Vexicrypt]

Just don't go to the skeletons after you leave Undead Asylum. When I played the game for the first time they bullied me so hard, it made me quit the game and return to it only couple years later.

 

[Dew Prism]

Dark Souls are great games if you love a challenge. It can be very rewarding to create a character build, and progress through all of the content in these games. Definitely not for people who just want to turn their brain off.

You will be forced to learn the games mechanics, and how to move/dodge properly if you want to progress. Also, if you're not watching/reading a walkthrough, the levels can be pretty unforgiving, with many traps, and enemies that come out of nowhere.

However, with all of these challenges, comes lots of reward, and will make you a more skillful player in the long run. I definitely recommend.

I think the first advice should be "Don't try to beat the asylum demon with your starter broken sword"

Don't think the series is hard or something. You just grind EXP as soon as you start the game and afterwards the unbalanced nature of the series is eliminated and your higher level makes the game how ordinary games are lol. This is really pretty much how video games were until like PS3 era. Afterwards new generation kids got used to playing games rarely dying which is a new thing in the context of the video game history so Dark Souls does nothing different compared to how games already were. It even make the games easy by enabling you to increase your health which back then games had no such feature with few great exceptions. You used to just die even touching an enemy once. So if this series is hard go play Silver Surfer on NES and see how games were like back then lol.

The games may look dull but it's kinda fun to progress in the games. For fun I try to go "take no hit" run and if I take hit I restart from checkpoint and try again. You can come up with your own fun ideas to play these games like go all naked and only use a wooden stick. You may test different builds and stuff. I especially like Dark Souls 3 the most though. It has an amazing atmosphere, buildings, weapon designs and shit. So don't underestimate how Dark Souls is but don't overestimate it too.

The other aspect of why the series is fun is real players can invade your world. It can be a good surprise that you can experience fun and funny moments but in the end it is up to you to prefer to play the game while that feature is enabled. Though I'm not sure if such aspect of the series is still online though.

Also Dark Souls 3's title music is really a banger yo. It really hooked me up while I played the entire game even singing the "song" lolol:

 

[Tengu Plant]

They're excellent games. They're talked about as if they were some kaizo hack style series but that's not really the case. As long as you don't rush into obvious ambushes and manage your stamina well you'll be fine. The game rarely feels cheap.

 

[Matricks]

If you like to fight the controller with wooden man tank responses, fast deaths, low progress pace, be my quest play dark.
Otherwise any God of War or Devil may Cry are the Best of the Best Actionpg with perfect control handling.

 

[MrYesterday]

Don't start with 3 if you don't want to be bored with the previous entries (the third game is much more fast paced), and please don't skip the second game

 

[moonbits]

please don't skip the second game

 

[NOTthatHARD]

If you like action RPGs I'm sure you will like dark souls, just keep in mind that these games are meant to be hard, so try to not get angry every time you die (you will die a LOT).

By the way, if you (OP) happen to own a ps3 or a ps5, consider playing Demon Souls too

 

[GardeniaSky's icon GardeniaSky GardeniaSky]

Yes.

 

[LongDivision8]

It is hard, but very fair and manageable. You can always grind for more levels or summon another player to help if needed. I was intimidated by it before I had ever tried it, then bought it in a Bandai Namco bundle, and it ended up being my favorite game. Be prepared to die often. If you can find a good deal on one of the games I say do it!

 

[SeventhSon]

If you can, try Demon's Souls on PS3 first and see if you like it.

 

[ThirteeTooBeets]

I think everyone should try the Souls games at least once in their lifetime, however be fully prepared for the reality that they might not be for you. I know the internet tends to treat them like these games that are so high art that they do nothing wrong and it's YOUR fault if you don't like them. The philosophy and merit of the Soulslike genre is one that might be very frustrating to the casual player, and there's nothing wrong about being a casual player

 

[Blamhammer]

Ds1 is worth a shot, but don't be too reliant on the shield. Better off dodging and going on the offensive than waiting to block a blow only for it to leave you at a disadvantage.
Basically play it like Bloodborne, which has no shields. Ever.

 

[Bakuma1997]

If you can beat stuff like Castlevania, Ghost and Goblins or the first Zelda without problem go ahead, but overall i stay far from them, that said you don't get Pause button, not even in Offline mode, so you better empty your agenda before playing

 

[Deleted member 58254]

Nah fuck that
Play bloodborne

 

[JustCallMeConstantin]

Does somebody knows how to play Dark Souls 2 Scholar Of The First Sin offline mode in Linux Mint

 

[Glimbo]

If you're playing through Steam, you can set Steam to offline mode. (Steam menu > Go Offline)

You can also just disconnect from the internet in Linux by clicking on the wifi/ethernet icon in the system tray.

For the two options above, I think you can reconnect after the internet check at the main menu is done.

There's also another way described here involving some terminal commands. I tried this in the past but I couldn't get it to work properly with Heroic. Heroic would constantly try to reconnect and then take my internet down after a few tries.
