I thought SMG2 would get GOTY because it was a 10/10 game. Nope. Scores mean squat when it comes to GOTY.
If whoever at GS decide now to give this year's GOTY based on its review score, then they're really full of it becaue it'll show they no consistency with their methods.

Hum...So you didn't play that far...
...yet you somehow make statements that the only way to beat this game is to bang your head against the wall and die before it finally works...because there is nothing else to do in this game other than dying. Don't you think it's a pretty vague and pretentious statement?
You base your hatred of the game on lack of a online system the way you want, because you made an image of this game that it's so hard that it's not worth it to play it alone (not quite as hardcore as you think really, most Souls fans will tell you that the difficulty is exaggerated).
If I were you, I would stop making assumptions about the game or its fanbase and just goddamn play it, it would be childish otherwise. This entitlement thing with co-op as justification seems a bit weak when going to labeling the game as "masochistic garbage".
Dark souls is downright amazing IMO but I can see why people are cowards for not liking that glorious masterpiece for real gamerz. BTW I didn't play far into it.

All the reviews I read have told me the game is extremely difficult and requires a ton of trial an error. A friend I have that owned Demon Souls (not dark souls though) told me his experience was just trial and error until he finally won. He got sick of the game pretty fast. Many people that played the game on the forums also have stated the same opinion. WHy should I not believe them? I have no desire to play an extremely difficult game and be frustrated with it. Especially when it is designed not to be fun. I had someone tell me that the justification behind the god awful coop in this game is that the developers wanted it to be harder so you cant "blast through" the game with your friends. Are you kidding me? How is it in any way fun to play the game with random people and look at bloody trails all day than solve the games challenges with your friends? You know the main purpose of a game is to be fun right? Trial and error is not fun and I'm afraid your opinion doesn't beat the opinions of the many people that told me the game is nothing more than a frustrating trial and error experience.
I guarantee you that the game would have sold far better if they had created a proper coop system and actually designed the game to be fun instead of always putting difficulty first. As long as they continue to do that and maintain their trash coop ill continue ignoring their games.

I was also bummed in 2009 when I got Demon's Souls after learning about how there is no "matchmaking" or "invite friend party system" about the co-op. However after playing the game for a while I got over it, because I realized that a big part of the thrill I had was in the atmosphere, in exploring a dangerous world where I can die if I was careless for a single second. When I did summon people or has been summoned, I often felt that it was a much shorter and cheaper experience, one where everyone was pressed to beat the boss, and that a lot of the feelings the developers wanted you to feel through the design was missed, all you do after summoning a few guys was to pick up items everywhere in a hurry to catch up to them. My experience has lead me to think that these games were not designed to be played co-op, there aren't hordes of enemies that spawn everywhere requiring different skills from different builds or a boss that can only be beaten with a strategy with multiple players or different switches. What is in these games is a world where you are a tiny, desperate, fragile and insignificant being trying to take on everything it has to offer. The messaging system and the bloodstains work to aid you in your adventure. The blue/white phantoms are there if you A) are too scared to progress or B) cannot kill the boss by yourself or C) you get invaded and want help. There is no reason in which you cannot complete the game in off-line mode, and if you do everything online you will most likely not have the experience that the devs intended you to have. I'll say this again: The gaming journalists have made this game sound way harder than it actually is. The fans of these games will agree with you on the most part. As for trial and error, not really, it's more about exploring and learning from your mistakes. It'll certainly feel like trial and error if you rush into unfamiliar territory, get owned and try again with a nice cup of rage, so I don't blame your friend on that one. I'm not telling you to bend over to my grand wisdom, but you do make a lot of strong statements for someone who never gave the game a chance, backing off just because you can't play with your friends. (Note that I absolutely have nothing but criticism about Namco's P2P servers, the MP can be a lot better and I hope the patches do their thing)

I respect your opinion and I can see where you got it, but it's not like you can just label a game not fun.
I've never had this much fun in my life, just yesterday, I used a spell called the chameleon spell which turns you into a tree in darkroot forest, I then invaded someone and just stood around, watching the invaded walking right past me. This sort of thing defines the pvp in dark souls, outsmart the smartest and you shall proof triumphant.
As for the PVE, it's not that hard, I don't understand where people get that idea, I've died more times in Uncharted games than in this, the only difference is that the checkpoints are more distant.
I can also safely say that anyone who beats this game can tell you, that they had fun. :)

Dark Souls is also probably the most overrated game this year by Kevin-V (probably of his entire carrer...oh MGS4, nevermind then), i still don't understand how a game with so many technicall flaws (frame drop, glitches, bad animations, etc) can get a 9.5. Don't get me wrong, i really like the game and i think is fantastic, but after seeing Kevin giving a hard time to other games with some of the same issues, is hard to not say that Dark Souls was overrated by him.

Wrong. Finished it and it's the most overrated game since RDR. I'm not one of those people who likes to moan about reviews based on hype, but i can't help but feel that way when it comes to Dark Souls. Bland, dated, boring visuals. Basic and repetitive combat, poor level design, poor animation, no story or character or charm at all. The game actually feels like it's 10 years out of date to me and is worth no more than a 6 and is a poorly designed game hidden by it's silly difficult discussion that IMO totally misses the point of gaming. In fact, i'd prob say it's my most overrated game of all time.Let's wait for Skyward Sword's review before he proclaim Dark Souls the best of the year.

Well, best RPG for sure
Also a 10/10 for Wii, is like a 7/10 for HD systems standads due to the far lower graphics
HAHAHAHAAH omgawd You know, it's very easy to play with friends in dark souls, works for me at least. :lol: :lol: Can't believe you sold it :lol:parkurtommoI've never once been able to play with my friends. Tried for over an hour once. We rebooted our systems quite a few times trying to get matched up on the same server. I'm glad you've had luck with it, but compared to Demon's Souls, the online implementation of Dark Souls has been awful.

Wrong. Finished it and it's the most overrated game since RDR. I'm not one of those people who likes to moan about reviews based on hype, but i can't help but feel that way when it comes to Dark Souls. Bland, dated, boring visuals.

The last thing a video game needs is a story to make it fun.
An incredible amount of people on these forums (and in real life) don't play video games for the stories.
[QUOTE="parkurtommo"][QUOTE="argetlam00"]
All the reviews I read have told me the game is extremely difficult and requires a ton of trial an error. A friend I have that owned Demon Souls (not dark souls though) told me his experience was just trial and error until he finally won. He got sick of the game pretty fast. Many people that played the game on the forums also have stated the same opinion. WHy should I not believe them? I have no desire to play an extremely difficult game and be frustrated with it. Especially when it is designed not to be fun. I had someone tell me that the justification behind the god awful coop in this game is that the developers wanted it to be harder so you cant "blast through" the game with your friends. Are you kidding me? How is it in any way fun to play the game with random people and look at bloody trails all day than solve the games challenges with your friends? You know the main purpose of a game is to be fun right? Trial and error is not fun and I'm afraid your opinion doesn't beat the opinions of the many people that told me the game is nothing more than a frustrating trial and error experience.
I guarantee you that the game would have sold far better if they had created a proper coop system and actually designed the game to be fun instead of always putting difficulty first. As long as they continue to do that and maintain their trash coop ill continue ignoring their games.

all of it, completely WRONG.
I respect your opinion and I can see where you got it, but it's not like you can just label a game not fun.
I've never had this much fun in my life, just yesterday, I used a spell called the chameleon spell which turns you into a tree in darkroot forest, I then invaded someone and just stood around, watching the invaded walking right past me. This sort of thing defines the pvp in dark souls, outsmart the smartest and you shall proof triumphant.
As for the PVE, it's not that hard, I don't understand where people get that idea, I've died more times in Uncharted games than in this, the only difference is that the checkpoints are more distant.
I can also safely say that anyone who beats this game can tell you, that they had fun. :)

You also should have a waited a bit, the patch was announced a long time ago and his been confirmed, it's coming out soon and will fix those problems. In fact I forgot to mention this, the patch will fix a lot of things you haters are complaining about

Is there a way you can know if you're on the same server or not? Nah, you just have to call your friend on the phone, have them drop their summon sign in an area, and see if it shows up in your world. And I've been fine with summons, just not with my friends. I really wish Namco Bandai would move to dedicated servers, but I'm sure its an expense issue, so I doubt it'll happen.
LOL not even close.

I like the game quite a bit, actually...I just don't feel like giving it a free pass because its online is inferior to the previous title. I really don't think it should be that much of a process to be able to play co-op with a friend.

I agrew with blightown, but I really don't think you should mention skyrim when picking on other games for "bugs".GD1551
Wait what? I even said "not even comparing to skyrim".
Still, it's automatic irony :P Even more so when insinuating that bugs are major and prevents the enjoyment of the game, which is not my general experience with Dark Souls. "...beyond the framerate, beyond the bugs,..."Please Log In to post.
