Finishing Up Dark Souls 3

June 22, 2016 by Adam in Adam's Games

Well, I finished the last of the Dark Souls games.  The end was kinda interesting, if terribly mysterious.  Some game endings are an accumulation of all your decisions throughout the game.  Others are a "pick the good/evil/neutral ending" sort of thing.  This one was more of a "fumble randomly into a choice" kinda thing.  I beat the final boss of the game, noticed an option to summon the Fire Keeper, clicked it, and that was the end.

It was a pretty game, and there were some cool aspects, but I think I'm ready to move on to something else.



The Souls . . . So Dark

June 05, 2016 by Adam in Adam's Games

I've been playing Dark Souls 3, the last of the series.  The plot tends to be somewhat vague, more of a dream-like exploration with very tough enemies and lore hidden in the descriptions of items.  It's known for being exceptionally difficult. 

I've been playing a sorcerer, which is quite different than the typical knight.  Initially it was tough, but once I got the spell to make myself invisible, most fights became incredibly easy as enemies flailed about unsure of where I was.  Boss fights are still the exception, as they can apparently see through my invisibility.  Still, I'm towards the end of the game and feeling exceptionally formidable.  I think I have a couple more boss fights and then I'm done with the game.

The scenery is exceptionally pretty at times, if a little on the bleak Gothic side.  Once I finish this up, I have some short narrative games I'd like to play that I picked up at the latest Humble Bundle: Her Story, Cibele, and Read Only Memories.  It's a good time to be a gamer.
