Does anybody play Dark souls 3?

[PinkDragon]

Looking for some sunbros for some jolly cooperation.

Not me, never even heard of the franchise. It does look like it has a great feel to it on Youtube, but likely way to pricy for me at this point.

I make it a rule, not to touch them till they drop tremendously in price.

Off to take a look at 1 and 2 though ...good luck.

Someone tell me why a Christian would play that game, or any game like it.

And here I was just fixing to BIN .

Since I'm the only Christian that showed interest, lol, I must assume I'm the "someone" who should answer.

Why not?

I'm stunned that you ask. Evil is evil is evil. Have no part in it. Case closed.

As am I, well not really, I've seen this before and the only reason I choose to touch on it.

Please...you can't be serious, you simply had no answer to the question.

What's evil bout a simple challenge? Do you think that I think I'm a Dark soul, or whatever goes on in the Game? Or that I'm actually doing any real live evil at all? Will I actually be dabbling in the magical arts if they are available in the game if I shoot someones eye out with a lightening/fire bolt? What?

They are pixels on a screen, and it's no more harmful than eating the Proverbial meat offered to idols.

Because it's a great game that rewards you for not giving up at it.

And to the OP, sorry, I can't help you. I'm in college and my Xbox is back at home and I'm not going back until thanksgiving. And even then I'm terrible. I wanted to do warriors of sunlight with this one character I'm using, but it probably won't work out. At best I can be a distraction for whatever boss you need help with.

Haven't played souls 3 in ages OP.

It's a fun game. I think one of the benefits of the Souls games is they teach you how to interpret lore not through being exposed to a standard narrative driven story, but by interacting with NPCS, reading item descriptions and simply looking at the world around you to figure out what it all means.

It's a dark story sure, doesn't make it evil, unless you want to go the darkness route and give up the light. Even then within the context of the story I'm sure if that's entirely bad or good.

I think it legitimately helped me to appreciate vague, indirect storytelling in any medium.

I love that some characters have different ways to finish their questline, like Anri of Astora. You can marry her after she was assassinated in the dark route or help her do her quest so she can die in peace. Also the game + both DLCs cost 40$ on the summer/winter steam sales.

I got the first of the three last night and fell asleep trying to rebind the keys. I'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the heads up on the game, as well as pricing on part three.

Starting with the first one? Good luck on Ornstein and Smough

Uh oh.

I did hear it was a tough game, but maybe that's what I need to regain an interest...the last few I tried...meh

 

[PinkDragon]

Ornstein and Smough is by far the best fight in the game. If you wanna spoil yourself a little here is their theme song

Spoiler: Song

 

[Kenny'sID]

OK that tears it, sunset is upon me, and I'm off to play.

 

[PinkDragon]

If you want to get hyped for Dark souls 3 here is one of the bosses

Spoiler: Huge spoiler :p

Already played through twice, including both DLCs.

Because it is a fantasy action-RPG with very interesting mechanics, a unique story telling method with an amazing world, and it's actually challenging. The over-arching story, especially the second game, really hammers home the futility and endless cycle that a humanity which rejects God's love and intervention has to look forward to.

Blood & Violence with ghastly imaginary creatures and story lines. I'd better not find anyone in my family involved in it.

The game is rated mature for a reason. Unlike a lot of games where that just means sex and gore, the imagery serves a purpose in Dark Souls. If I had to sum up the message of the series, it is the futility of man and all of his works.

A genuinely Christian parent would teach their kids to be "in the world but not of it" by not being afraid of every piece of entertainment. If your kids are young you limit their video game time, and when they're older they'll learn to do so on their own.
