Yeah, probably. XD; Not everything translates well from consoles to desktops.


Although I am glad that Record of Agarest War got onto Steam, even if it's not the best version of the game. ^^ I'm really hoping that the platform helps things sell well, and that, in turn, can convince the developers to release more stuff through it.  

[stickdude]

Oh well, the directors said that they're building Dark Souls 2 on PC then breaking it down for the console market. o wo

 

[Rednal]

Huzzah~

For those of you planning to play it, anyway. XD  

[stickdude]

It's looking good at this point. The community is in a bit of a civil war about the difficulty, but hey, what else is new? XD

 

[Rednal]

The games are supposed to be pretty brutal, right? = w= They can stop whining now and start manning up. Or at least start praising the sun, because dark places in video games suck.  

[stickdude]

It's more so about the game having an "Easy mode" of sorts. Some people are bitching to no end, some are just cracking jokes about it, and others, like me, just don't really give a damn.
Hell, considering how bad I really am when compared to other players, it might even be a good thing in my case. XD

 

[Rednal]

Which is kind of a problem for Cave-chan, since -everything- is Easy Mode to her... in my comics, anyway. XD  

[stickdude]

I like the in-game Cave-Tan. But I like your Cave-Tan, too. ^^

 

[Rednal]

My Cave-tan is good at pissing off other CPUs. rofl Although I feel like I should use Chika more... she's very possibly the best character in the whole series.  

[stickdude]

The Leanbox oracle with a specialty in 'Bullshitting' as Cave so eloquently put it? XD

 

[Great Ryoman!]

Hey, what they actually said was that 'they would make the game more accessible to players', which people took to mean an easy mode.

From all of the company's insistence, what they really mean is just that it's going to make more sense and let you teleport between areas from the very beginning.

And I want to teleport from the beginning. Having to run through the areas multiple times wasn't difficult; just boring.

But yeah, Dark Souls 2 will be awesome. I was sold when I saw that freaking armor decked out in the furs of his prey. v.v b  

[Rednal]

@Stick: Yes. Although, personally, I most enjoyed how much of a yuri fangirl she was for anything involving Vert. She might even beat RED in that department...

@Ryo: I see, I see. o wo That doesn't seem too ridiculous.  

[stickdude]

I haven't really looked deeply into it, myself. I'm just kind of seeing things as they come out. o wo

@Rednal: I did pick up on that, yes. She seemed... Overly attached to the dear CPU. XD

 

[Rednal]

Just a bit. rofl Vert -does- have a way of giving attention to others, though, and usually a lot more than she should... she definitely embodies the hardcore dedication of an MMO player.  

[Great Ryoman!]

Yeah, it was just the way they announced it. The first guy to come out was like "This game is going to appeal more to the market we haven't tapped yet; the mainstream, casual gamers. 8D". So he put it in the absolute worst way possible.


But then as soon as people started FLIPPING OUT, they sent out another statement immediately being like "Wait, wait! This guy just said ALL the wrong things. What we meant to say was we fixed the things people hated the most; a lot of people who quit the game said it was because of _____ or ______. We are NOT toning down the difficulty."


So it's kind of a mix right now between people who are like "Oh, I get it now!", and people who just plain don't read. x_o

And the latter is actually a very large number of people. You practically can't have a conversation about Dark Souls 2 without people flying off the handle because they didn't listen to anything but what that first guy said.

<_< ...I like to joke that he's probably so fired right now, but it's sad because he probably is...>_>
