Has anyone played Yoshi's Woolly World for WiiU?
The concept is pretty cool and the colours/detail are amazing.

Dark Souls 3 coming out soon. Good reviews so far.
I'm def going to get it!

Shit, that reminds me, I never finished Bloodborne....or Dark Souls 2. hahaha...oh well.

I'm getting terrible at finishing games.
Still have to finish the two I already mentioned as well as Metal Gear, and Fallout 4.

And I want to get the new MLB The Show.

Ugh!

Dark Souls 2 dumb health bar getting cut to 50% max after dying several times kept me from continuing on. I enjoy the challenge of the game but taking 50% off that can only be filled back up with a rare item seemed more like a kick to the nuts when the game designers know you are going to be constantly dying. If DS3 has the health bar feature, I may pass on it.

I have actually instituted a rule. In order to acquire another game, I need to complete two of them.

I know many who thought DS2 was way easier than DS1. I had a much harder time with DS2. I got to a point in that game where I literally got stuck at a bonfire. From the bonfire, it took a good 20 minutes of fighting huge fn dudes to get to the boss. It was also a big spot for invaders. If you made it to the boss without getting killed by those huge dudes, you almost always got invaded. Ugh! Even with help it was hard as fuck! The longest/furthest I got against that boss was about 20 seconds. Repeated that process a number of times then quit.

The got rid of the hollowing in Dark Souls 3. Looks like there is still a lowering of the health bar if you die, but it takes a max of 30% instead of 50%. I'll probably be getting this game tomorrow.

No hollowing? Really? So you're human the whole time? I wonder how the invasions will work?

Ugh!

Surprised to hear someone not finishing MG. MGS4 was the best game I ever played until I played 5. I don't think anything can ever top those 2 games in terms of straight gameplay quality. From another world man

Yeah, I was juggling like 3 games when I got the new Metal Gear game. I'll get back to it at some point. I hope I can remember the controls when I do...

That's a great idea I need to adopt

They call it "ember" now. you get a 1.3 HP boost. It's a lot like the hollow system except you are not punished as much.

Downloading the DS3 this morning. Hopefully it will be installed be the time I get home.

I've played the previous game with the Sorcery build. I'm thinking of either trying the knight or herald class this time, but I hate not having the soul arrow at my disposal. I tried using a different class in DS2, but ended up going with a new magic character.

I have one of them for 360 as it was free but didn't really get into it. Lords of the Fallen is supposedly like DS and is free on XB1 for a few more days. Haven't tried that yet either.

I didn't enjoy Lords of the Fallen at all, but can't bitch about a free game

Picked up DS3. Good game. I'm playing as a knight. Hard but not crazy so far. Played some co-op with a friend which was pretty cool. The password matches are nice so you can play and mic-talk to your buddy as your going.

DS3 is much better then DS2. Ended up going with the wizard again because not have the ranged soul arrow attack sucks when you are used to it. Plus I was able to whip that monks ass from the distance and steal his katana sword right away.
