A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Game is Dark Souls (series)
I actually love it. The deaths are often not cheap so it's fine. Plus the ability to grab your lost points makes it easier than people think it is. Farming can be fun too, I love confidently farming an entire area and trying different things out.

I'm currently stuck in both DS1 and 3 because the only way forward in both is by boss fights I can't beat. Pretty annoying. But I'm also farming and trying new weapons and abilities out so it's also a learning experience.

I feel like I would really struggle doing a playthrough of each at the same time, but if it's working for you, that's good. which bosses are you on?

Oh man, I started with 1, got to that deman with the dogs in the small courtyard. Absolutely loved the game.

So I got 2, but for some reason the entire game is running at like 3X speed, so it's unplayable.

So I got 3. Didn't like how "smooth" and quicker you move in it.

Jumped back to 1, defeated that demon and now am going thru the dark sewer catacombs (?) it has all the slimes that drop on you.

Also retried 3 with a different build and got seriously hooked. I have to defeat the giant skeleton with a crown, and the painting area.

3 might be my favourite game ever. Tough toss up but it’s definitely up there without a doubt. Enjoy it, I’m jealous you can play it for the first time

It's addicting. I just "beat" the giant worm in the underground lake.

By beat i mean a nice fellow killed it with giant arrows for me lol

Yep, I did that too! You’ve made good progress then obviously. Good job, and good luck with the rest of the game!
