With gaming often bringing me into a really depressive headspace sometimes with how the markets are developing, whats a game you can always go to and just be lost in, or just be happy with?
Personally i would go for advance wars 1 and 2 on the gba (there is no remake and never will be)
the artstyle, the music, the game-play is just simple, yet effective, a sublime experience of very fun times.
Whats yours?
I think that the bonfires are actually not that far apart when you really know where they are, with the exception of a few areas.
There is something about how casual the subsequent playthroughs are that is really cathartic. Like you’re just walking over challenges that seemed insurmountable the first time through.
Yep, knowing where things are is a relief from stress. This is also why the Fog Gate Randomizer mods are so fun.
Ah I haven’t heard of that one. Mods in ds1 are an avenue I haven’t explored yet, but the item and boss randomizers look really fun.
Oh man, [https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls/mods/1305](Item Randomizer) and [https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/165](Fog Gate Randomizer) together (they’re compatible!) is my jam. I was so mad the one time a key item was placed where the Blue Slab is in Crystal Caverns.
Thanks! Any builds that work better in randomizers than others, or is it just about being flexible on what you find early on?
That’s kind of the thing, you won’t know what’ you’ll get until you play, so you can’t really plan. One time I had to jump between spear and pike until I got something good. Another run I got the Giant’s Blacksmith Hammer (not from him) during my first few areas.
Great, I love that idea. My next run will either be an SL1 run or this. I do like the shenanigans that can result from a randomizers run quite a bit I have to say. Getting something OP early (potentially) without expecting it is a really fun idea
