Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[dethtoll]

Your proscription against fantasy excludes one of the darkest series of all -- Dark Souls, which has a pretty healthy multiplayer component integrated fully into the game.

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[(Anonymous)]

Oh? I pretty much just excluded fantasy games, because I thought they'd be too friendly. You know, too much role playing as a mighty orc princess and not enough violence.

I'll have a look at that Dark Souls business. Thanks!

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[dethtoll]

Not all fantasy games are Zelda or whatever, and dark themes are common. Dark Souls (and its predecessor Demon's Souls, and Demon's sequel Bloodborne) are all incredibly dark.

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

They don't want it to be fantasy based though, which I would say Dark Souls sort of counts as (dragons, suits of armor, swords). Maybe Bloodborne would be an okay compromise? (To Op: Bloodborne has the same creators and similar gameplay to Dark Souls, but has more of a dark Victorian setting, with pistols and the like)

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[dethtoll]

That's... my point? Their not wanting fantasy excludes them from the exact sort of game the character they're writing about would play.

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[(Anonymous)]

Fair, I just didn't know their reason for excluding fantasy, if it was they thought it wouldn't be dark enough or maybe character reasons - like the character hates the fantasy genre or something ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

I'll have to watch a video of Dark Souls later. The wikipedia description doesn't sound dark, just confusing.

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[dethtoll]

It's a slow-paced game with RPG elements that's well known for intense difficulty. It has a thriving community in part because of that difficulty and because its online component allows players to work co-op against difficult bosses or other encounters, or, more often, "invade" the game of other players and kill them. (I sweatergod if someone shows up with a Scraping Spear in Demon's Souls one more time and breaks all my equipment with it I'm gonna reach through the screen and throttle them.)

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

Ha ha, so it's definitely intense and makes one aggressive. That's good.

So it's a difficult game that takes some serious skill, yes? Something that would appeal to someone who is very intelligent and competitive.

Re: Question about computer/console/video games

[dethtoll]

Yes, exactly. Requires some serious concentration too: a big reason why I never finished Demon's Souls is because unlike Dark Souls which I can play on PC while sitting in my comfortable chair, Demon's is PS3-exclusive and all my consoles are in my living room. I haven an ancient, 60s-era hideabed couch that is ludicrously uncomfortable to sit on, and I've never been able to play Demon's Souls for long because of it -- it's hard to concentrate!
