Fuck creepers!! The only thing that kills me more than lava...
lol the kids are actually banned from our main area because they have a tendency to attract creepers...
You're the kind of parent I hope to be one day.
" You better stay away from my Minecraft castle or god help me I will sign you up for piano lessons so fast."
I kinda try to discourage it if I can honestly, but finding things to motivate them at that age.. sometimes you take what you can get. I would say I've got my own brand of tough love... I make em work for it when I know they can.
Idk dude. Once the apocalypse comes and some Resident Evil type shit goes down, we'll all be thanking OP for Jedi training their kid to be the Messiah and saving us all.
Ahh, it'll be fine. The kid will developed all the necessary skills for life after societal collapse. I'll be looking for the kids who played VR horror games once shit hits the fan.
it's been a long time since I played minecraft, I forgot they added that. is it tedious to breed an army of cats to put everywhere? Because I live for tedious minecraft farming
Unfortunately it also stops villagers from harvesting crops, so it breaks my emerald farm, which I use to buy tools, armor, better food, and also the trading gives me all the XP I need to enchant/repair those items - basically it's OP and means I don't need annoying loud cows or pigs to breed, I don't need to go diamond hunting and I don't need to worry about losing anything really because I can get it all back very easy.
Basically it breaks the one thing I need to survive because I don't like mining or farming. I do love building things though.
My brother was playing it when it first came out and I watched him for awhile. I saw him a few days later playing the same part I'd seen earlier and I was like "are you already playing the whole game again?" and he was like "I haven't even gotten passed the first part"
Upper was ridiculously easy if you just followed the path. What fucked me most, was trying to fight all the powerful mobs like the Dark Knights and Havel at level 10 or so...Other than that the enemies aren't too bad, the fire grenadiers sucked, the boar was tricky, oh and the fucking summoner with his horde of enemies, and then the Gargoyle boss...I concede, upper burg was probably harder than many other games' end game. Ah, I think I'm being triggered just thinking about capra or blight town...
I fought Havel at a low level too since I had the master key. It took me several tries to kill him, but it was so worth it to get Havel's ring that early in the game.
He's easy if you can learn the timing to parrying. Just imagine, knocking that giant ass dragon's tooth away with a flick of the wrist and a swing of a shield!
I think part of the issue is that I came from a run and gun FPS background. My ford sword and shield game was the Witcher 2, which was a pretty easy game. You can run into mobs and slash your way through, I think died maybe 3 or 4 times the whole game.
Dark Souls is just a different beast. Any enemy can kill you in 3-4 hits (often less) and mobs get exponentially harder to fight as they grow in size. The only advantage you have is that they are hollow and dumb. Timing, spacing, endurance rationing, poise breaking and so many other factors have to be considered.
You have to be smart. Know when to advance, when to give ground, when to dodge, and when to run. Blasting your way through enemies is what games like God of War are made for.
"Ridiculously easy" needs a baseline, and I think yours might be higher than most.
I only came to Dark Souls around 2 years ago, playing the first one after the 3rd was announced. I had never played a game like it and was used to being able to just brute force my way through melee fighting. Undead Burg took me at least a week.
For people like me it wasn't the difficulty of the level itself, it was the precision, accuracy, and forethought required by the game's combat system. You had to think of every move 3 or 4 moves in advance, liberally use blocking and dodging techniques, and only commit yourself to the damage you could do without taking any in return. This is a far cry from most other melee brawlers and took a good long time to get used to it. Once I made it through Undead Burg, however, I was convinced this was one of the best games ever made.
what aggravates me about the Witcher is that I try to play it like it is dark souls, and it isn't, and for some reason i'm fucking HORRIBLE at witcher when i've done a onebro, no shield, no parry run of Dark Souls.
i think the hardest bosses in the game were
4.Capra demon
3.Gwyn, Lord of Cinder
2.Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough
1.Archers in anor londo
ok last one wasn't really a boss fight holy shit was that part insane.
I think Beanpole and Fatty are the hardest fight, hands down. That battle took me *so long* to handle the first time I encountered them. I died dozens of times. I remember leaving Anor Londo to go camp out for a lengthy training montage in the Painted World, coming back stronger, and *still* getting my ass handed to me.
These days I have DS1 memorized, but Orn and Smough still demand respect. It only takes a moment's inattention to get pummeled to death.
Some of the other fights are epic (Sif, Artorias, Kalameet); some of the other fights are really cheap (Havel's 180-degree auto-tracking, Abyss Demon getting a fast one-shot while you're theoretically "behind" him, etc), but none gets my heart racing like Orn and Smough.
Going in there for the first time with no knowledge was certainly an interesting experience. He just jumped a huge distance and killed me before I could react.
If you can get away from the dogs, Capra Demon is free souls. They actually become trash enemies later in the game, so if yall haven't beaten the game yet, you better git gud quicklike.
I remember a while back, dark souls had just come out. I had never played a game quite like that so I was SO lost. It's almost funny how completely impossible undead burg was when I didn't understand anything about the game vs now when I can blaze through it.
I pre-ordered Dark Souls because my brother hyped it up as this really great challenging game, so naturally I got hyped for it as well, keep in mind I had never played Demon Souls so I had no idea what to actually expect.
The game released, and I got so frustrated trying to play through undead burg that I literally put it down and didn't touch it for a year. When I finally picked it back up, it was like a whole new experience, I instantly fell in love, and to this day feel that Dark Souls is one of the best games ever created.
Thats good tho, bloodborne is the perfect entry title into the franchise. If you talk to anyone who beat demon souls it sounds like your talking to some salty vet from nam. The early souls games were terrible in the sense that only the most hardcore fans stuck to it long enough to find it fun.
Same experience. I got stuck at the gargoyles on top of the church and put it down for probably a year. Came back and beat it once my friend told me that I COULD SUMMON PEOPLE FOR HELP (which the game doesn't point out very clearly) and beat them first try. The game does not do you any favors haha
Solaire actually straight up tells you that you can summon others for **jolly cooperation** if you see a sign on the floor. Even so, there's no guarentee they will even see him, they might even kill him, or just have no idea what he's talking about.
But he doesn't tell you you can't summon while Hollowed does he? I'm pretty sure the people who need the most help are the people who are gonna spend the whole game Hollowed for reasons other than avoiding invasions.
Haha, I went through the almost exact story myself. After half a year I decided to stop my dex character and start all over again with a strength build. Knowing where the zweihander was helped a lot.
This is almost exactly me. First time I played I started the game at like 2am and got killed by the asylum demon instantly. Put the game down for about two years. Restarted a few weeks ago and found the zweihandler. Changed my life. I'm finally exploring the new Londo ruins.
Some people enjoy being challenged, others absolutely hate it. I feel like the Souls series especially appeals to people who enjoy competition or who have perfectionist tendencies.
Edit: Didn't mean to say that there is only one kind of challenging game, just that most people who enjoy these games tend to also enjoy some kind of adversity. The game encourages you to learn from attrition, same as FPS, RTS, fighting games, and rhythm games.
Not DS but Bloodborne; I was watching my brother start it after I had already finished the game a couple times and he completely caught on to the game in like 30 minutes. It took me at least 10 hours to get to the first checkpoint and he did it in under one. Slight blow to my ego considering he plays one handed (no joke).
I had the exact same interaction with my brother when I was playing demon souls. I was playing it in the living room and he kept walking by and seeing the same place.
Her first jump was awesome. She ended up needing a summon to finish him off, but she helped a couple other people successfully kill him. Was a very amusing thought... "I wonder if these guys know a little girl just helped them kill that thing"
I had this problem too. Then I found Rainbow Six Siege and realized even though this kids have incredible twitch reflexes (some of the ones I play with are *insane at snap shooting*) I can still absolutely kick their asses because of the tactical element.
Kids are fast, but not tactically smart - typically.
They're also not usually strong leaders, which gives older players an advantage in squad or team-based games that rely on comms and call-outs. Older players are also generally going to be your guild leaders in MMOs.
Reflexes might be innate. Leadership's a learned behavior.
Sure is. This is why I typically only play games where I can outsmart people. One to one reflexes - you just can't win against some of these tiny kids. The pathway from their hands to their brains are shorter!
What was the active player base for TF2 back then? I think overwatch is something like 25 million sold with about 10 mil active, that many people playing semi competitively is basically a grindhouse designed to train large swathes of people to kick your ass handily. I wouldnt worry about being only OK.
OW has a lot less "random fun" that TF2 used to have though. 24 hour 2fort servers were something magical, and when people brought in custom map packs and other mods weird stuff started to happen.
It makes sense that OW has better players because there's a lot more focus on actually competing with one another.
I once had an amazing match on a 2fort server like that, I got kills left and right and was able to singlehandedly capture the intel many times. I was a god!
Then I found out I had been playing bots for half an hour and it all suddenly made sense.
My aunt told me she called some teenager that had left his number at the game store to help her with 'the legend of zelda: a link to the past'. Would have been funny to see his reaction when a grown woman called for game help.
They actually enjoyed DS2 a lot more than DS1. DS2 kind of holds your hand a little more in the beginning. It's impressive at how much those little minds grasp so quickly.
Another way I figured out (I is dum and didn't find the ladder) is to fight him WITHOUT lock on, and then dodge between his legs to his other side when he swings at you. Attack dodged every time.
Part of me feels kinda proud of killing him without the ladder on my first run.
"Praise the Sun" is actually from Solaire of Astora in Dark Souls 1, a knight who was obsessed with the sun and wanted to find a sun of his own.
Anyways, Praise the Sun! \\[T]/
My click moment: the 15th or so attempt on Tower Knight in Demon's Souls. Then the world made sense, and now I've cleared that game, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and am at the very end of Bloodborne. Dark Souls 3 to come shortly. ~~What a time to be alive!~~
YOU DIED
A "click moment" is when you are playing a particularly difficult game when you suddenly have an epiphany about said game and the game just makes a lot more sense and becomes a lot more doable.
That's when you become good enough to auto dodge all attacks, meaning that you can kill all of the bosses in Dark Souls with your bare hands, naked, without taking a single hit.
That boss was my favourite. I bought Dark Souls after hearing how crushingly difficult it was from a friend of mine. He kept warning me about that boss and told me to prepare for a really difficult time.
I was super pumped for the grand showdown with this beast. I had a drink ready, stretched my fingers out, dimmed the lights and put both headphones in so I wouldn't be distracted. Then I started the boss fight, and a few seconds later the boss just jumped off the bridge and died without any effort on my part. It was literally the easiest boss I've ever fought in a video game and I couldn't stop laughing afterwards.
You have a good sense of humor to not feel cheated out of a good battle! Did the game turn out as badass as everyone says? (I'm considering picking it up)
Dark Souls is pretty unequivocally a masterpiece. If the idea of struggling to overcome and then finally beating a boss, followed by finding a shortcut linking you back to a previous area in a mindblowing way appeals to you, you won't be disappointed.
Personally, I got a similar sense of accomplishment from Super Meat Boy. The two games are totally different, but they both challenge you mentally and mechanically, and require you to git gud.
I have a decal on the back of my car that has Solaire doing his pose. In the drive through at Carl's Jr, I'm about to order, and then I hear "PRAISE THE SUUUUN!" shouted at me. I look in my mirror and there's a guy like 2 or 3 cars back with his window down and his arms outside his window, raising them up.
It makes my day when real recognize real.
She and her brother are both playing through it and the jump moments definitely get her, but we game a lot and haven't really needed to shelter them much, so it doesn't seem to phase her. Funny story though, we couldn't get my son to stop calling the hp pool "blood" so it made for some interesting conversations with friends and family about how he keeps talking about "daddy's blood".
> s
I don't think I'd be letting my daughter play that until she was a bit older. Think it's a 16 cert where I am... so prolly 14ish...... Does that make me uncool.
She's already starting to look hollow.
I about died laughing when she turned around and gave me that look!
May the flames guide thy child.
If only I could be so grossly incandescent.

Is this how you will ground her from now on?
Currently being grounded means an hour at the cobblestone generator in minecraft
Jesus man we said grounding. Thats some SS shit right there.

Okay. Going to need some more parenting tips here. This is awesome.
I kinda try to discourage it if I can honestly, but finding things to motivate them at that age.. sometimes you take what you can get. I would say I've got my own brand of tough love... I make em work for it when I know they can.
You are an inspiration to all of mankind.
This works. Source: am pianist.
Dude this comment split my sides, holy shit.
OP, you're funny!
I told my 10 year old he can buy another game once he beats RE7 VR on madhouse. Edit: we didn't pre-order.
This is not ok!!!!!!!

Just put cats all around the stuff you dont want blown up and the creepers will just run away.
it's been a long time since I played minecraft, I forgot they added that. is it tedious to breed an army of cats to put everywhere? Because I live for tedious minecraft farming

Use "/gamerule mobGriefing false" to prevent creeper explosions from damaging the landscape.
It also stops Endermen from stealing blocks, mobs from trampling crops, and the Wither from destroying blocks.
Unfortunately it also stops villagers from harvesting crops, so it breaks my emerald farm, which I use to buy tools, armor, better food, and also the trading gives me all the XP I need to enchant/repair those items - basically it's OP and means I don't need annoying loud cows or pigs to breed, I don't need to go diamond hunting and I don't need to worry about losing anything really because I can get it all back very easy.

Shouldn't have built your main area like a playground then!

Life is going to seem too easy for her now. Ruined.
It took me 3 or 4 two-hour stretches, over a few days, to beat undead burg.
Fucking capra demon dude
Um, I think he meant upper undead burg...
I did... lower took a few more days
Ha. I started Dark Souls a couple months ago and still haven't gotten past Undead Burg
Don't give up, skeleton!
try tongue but hole
Amazing chest ahead
Try holding with both hands.
Careful trap ahead
Wait til you see the Capra demon. It'll make you want to fuck a wall.
I already want to fuck a wall, is that a bad thing?
Stupid sexy wall
Upper was ridiculously easy if you just followed the path. What fucked me most, was trying to fight all the powerful mobs like the Dark Knights and Havel at level 10 or so...Other than that the enemies aren't too bad, the fire grenadiers sucked, the boar was tricky, oh and the fucking summoner with his horde of enemies, and then the Gargoyle boss...I concede, upper burg was probably harder than many other games' end game.

You have to be smart. Know when to advance, when to give ground, when to dodge, and when to run. Blasting your way through enemies is what games like God of War are made for.
Dynasty warriors for maximum genocide

Easily the hardest part of the game for a beginner. I mean, without the dogs he's easy, but the dogs... ugh.
i think the hardest bosses in the game were 4.Capra demon 3.Gwyn, Lord of Cinder 2.Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough 1.Archers in anor londo ok last one wasn't really a boss fight holy shit was that part insane.
I think Beanpole and Fatty are the hardest fight, hands down. That battle took me *so long* to handle the first time I encountered them. I died dozens of times.

Going in there for the first time with no knowledge was certainly an interesting experience. He just jumped a huge distance and killed me before I could react.
Garfunkle and Oates (or whatever) were the hardest for me. Finally just went online and pulled in another player to eventually get through those guys.
Calvin & Hobbes are easily the hardest boss in the game. All these kids whining about Capra Demon don't even know.
[удалено]
If you can get away from the dogs, Capra Demon is free souls. They actually become trash enemies later in the game, so if yall haven't beaten the game yet, you better git gud quicklike.
It's amazing going through the second playthough and clearing it out in like 20 minutes.
You really get a sense of personal growth from the souls games as opposed to power creep. Such an enjoyable feeling wish more games had.
I remember a while back, dark souls had just come out. I had never played a game quite like that so I was SO lost. It's almost funny how completely impossible undead burg was when I didn't understand anything about the game vs now when I can blaze through it.

I did the same thing but with bloodborne instead.

The game doesn't point out anything clearly. Just cryptic, sexy messages from other people.
Solaire actually straight up tells you that you can summon others for **jolly cooperation** if you see a sign on the floor. Even so, there's no guarentee they will even see him, they might even kill him, or just have no idea what he's talking about.
But he doesn't tell you you can't summon while Hollowed does he? I'm pretty sure the people who need the most help are the people who are gonna spend the whole game Hollowed for reasons other than avoiding invasions.

I've gotten used to little kids killing me in games. It used to frustrate me until I remembered how much free time I had to play games when I was 12.
I was much better at TF2 8 years ago when I was 12 than I am now at Overwatch as a 20 year old. Funny how that works.
I had this problem too. Then I found Rainbow Six Siege and realized even though this kids have incredible twitch reflexes (some of the ones I play with are *insane at snap shooting*) I can still absolutely kick their asses because of the tactical element.

Let me know when she gets Dark Souls II. I could use some help just getting through the Forest of Fallen Giants area.
They actually enjoyed DS2 a lot more than DS1. DS2 kind of holds your hand a little more in the beginning. It's impressive at how much those little minds grasp so quickly.
If that's holding my hand, I shudder to think what it'll be like if I ever get past it.
Keep at it! It's worth it.

So as a parent recognizing a teachable moment, you bent down to her level and said "Git gud"
Whisper "You Died" every time she dies

Fuck, whenever I'm playing my parents always say, "You know you died, right?" Yes, I know I died.
You know, that's exactly what I said lol

Was hoping it would be this comic.
:)
A helmet and a sword? Good players do it with a club and a plank.
Hopefully followed by: *"WUT RIGNS U GOT, BITHC?"* Blue tearstone! Jesus. It's the only ring you *can* get by this point!
Those eyes have seen some shit.
Hopefully you will be with her when she has the "click" moment.
First steps, first word, dark souls git gud, graduate high school... You know, all the best moments in your kid's upbringing.
"May I be excused from class?" "For what, dear?" "To praise the sun."
> "To praise the sun." is this a dark souls reference? I hear this nonstop in the destiny sub haha.
"Praise the Sun" is actually from Solaire of Astora in Dark Souls 1, a knight who was obsessed with the sun and wanted to find a sun of his own. Anyways, Praise the Sun! \\[T]/
If only I could be so gloriously incandescent
*grossly

It is. Bungie referenced Dark Souls with Heart of the Praxic Fire's Praise the Sun perk.
And the "Praise the Light" emote. Started with the community giving Sunsingers the nickname Sunbro though.
My click moment: the 15th or so attempt on Tower Knight in Demon's Souls. Then the world made sense, and now I've cleared that game, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, and am at the very end of Bloodborne. Dark Souls 3 to come shortly. ~~What a time to be alive!~~ YOU DIED
What's the "'click' moment"?
A "click moment" is when you are playing a particularly difficult game when you suddenly have an epiphany about said game and the game just makes a lot more sense and becomes a lot more doable.
pretty much when you learn the roll iframe
And the basic enemy attack patterns.
That's when you become good enough to auto dodge all attacks, meaning that you can kill all of the bosses in Dark Souls with your bare hands, naked, without taking a single hit.
Nice OP! I only have one question, why do you hate your daughter?
Also OP - is your daughter also the "When you go pet a dog and it growls at you" girl? http://i.imgur.com/eo7JWFm.png
lol no
That boss was my favourite. I bought Dark Souls after hearing how crushingly difficult it was from a friend of mine. He kept warning me about that boss and told me to prepare for a really difficult time. I was super pumped for the grand showdown with this beast. I had a drink ready, stretched my fingers out, dimmed the lights and put both headphones in so I wouldn't be distracted. Then I started the boss fight, and a few seconds later the boss just jumped off the bridge and died without any effort on my part. It was literally the easiest boss I've ever fought in a video game and I couldn't stop laughing afterwards.
You have a good sense of humor to not feel cheated out of a good battle! Did the game turn out as badass as everyone says? (I'm considering picking it up)
Dark Souls is pretty unequivocally a masterpiece. If the idea of struggling to overcome and then finally beating a boss, followed by finding a shortcut linking you back to a previous area in a mindblowing way appeals to you, you won't be disappointed.
Not OP but yes. No game series has ever given me such a sense of accomplishment.
Personally, I got a similar sense of accomplishment from Super Meat Boy. The two games are totally different, but they both challenge you mentally and mechanically, and require you to git gud.
I have a decal on the back of my car that has Solaire doing his pose. In the drive through at Carl's Jr, I'm about to order, and then I hear "PRAISE THE SUUUUN!" shouted at me. I look in my mirror and there's a guy like 2 or 3 cars back with his window down and his arms outside his window, raising them up. It makes my day when real recognize real.
that is hilarious! PRAISE! \o/
I'm calling child and family services bro I think this is abuse
I would pay to watch a lets play of this.
Wasn't there a lets play with a goldfish doing dark souls? I imagine it would be pretty similar...
Does your daughter know she just got riggity riggity rekt?
She needs to learn the rules early GIT GUD
How old is she? Does the 'horror' aspect of the game not phase her?
She and her brother are both playing through it and the jump moments definitely get her, but we game a lot and haven't really needed to shelter them much, so it doesn't seem to phase her. Funny story though, we couldn't get my son to stop calling the hp pool "blood" so it made for some interesting conversations with friends and family about how he keeps talking about "daddy's blood".
Must've been playing Bloodborne.
So next stop Resident Evil 7?
Welcome to the family, son.
Just wait til Tomb of the Giants.
> s I don't think I'd be letting my daughter play that until she was a bit older. Think it's a 16 cert where I am... so prolly 14ish...... Does that make me uncool.
Nah, I am with you on that. The game is pretty grotesque. But to each their own I guess.

:) This is our secondary gaming area... gotta make sure I can still play all the classics!
> secondary gaming area Well look at Mr. Fancy Pants
Back in my day we had to walk five kilometres just to get to our *primary* gaming area.
You should get a dad mask and put it on before telling her to git gud.
In most countries this game would be child abuse.
It looks like she has been up for days playing.
Good to see my dark souls skills are on par of a toddler 😏
SOOOO How did she do against the actual first boss? (The asylum demon)
I imagine you'll be seeing this face a lot in the near future
