| Topic | Are there any bosses in Dark Souls harder than Fume Knight (DS2 boss) |
| furb 04/30/20 1:54:53 PM #9 | Laura_Hughes posted... Midir becomes mental past NG+7. Gael too. Manus. Elana Squalid Queen. I did Midir/Gael around NG5. Manus I did around NG7 or 8. It took a lot of practice. I tend to make only one character and just cycle the game over and over again. So, when DLC bosses come out, things can get REALLY messy. I could not beat Lud and Zalen alone on NG8. Same with the Dark Lady whatever in that underground temple in 2 (first DLC). I managed to beat Alonne alone. Midir was bad enough on 5. Gael was extremely fun though. Excellent boss fight. --- You know how fads are. Today it's brains, tomorrow, pierced tongues. Then the next day, pierced brains. -Jane Lane |

| furb 04/29/20 10:07:20 PM #46 | If we're doing least favorite RPGs, then it's Ultima: Exodus for me. The NES port. I hate that game with a burning passion. All the chests are trapped. Your food meter depletes so damned fast, you're starving before you leave town it feels like. The combat takes forever with melee characters. And the dungeon exploration is first person. Gag me with a spoon I like Ultima: Quest of the Avatar well enough though. *** I remember a time over a decade ago when I got marked for trolling because I expressed this opinion.

| Topic | Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts is like the Dark Souls of SNES games. |
| furb 04/25/20 10:04:12 PM #10 | In spring 98, I made it my solitary purpose to beat this game. i was in 8th grade, and was busy running track. I would get home from practice around 6pm. My routine involved playing it as much as possible until around 8pm. This process went on from around mid March until the middle of May. I managed to beat loop 1 once. I never bothered dealing with loop 2 for the true ending. The part that made it so annoying was the lack of passwords. Getting enough reps at the hard parts (for me at least) took a serious time investment. Not every run got to the snow board or the horrid inside the monster stomach part (not the platform riding section but the rotating section). I have all the achievements for Dark Souls I-III. So, I've played each of those games a ton. SGG is hard and a somewhat fair comparisson, but with Souls, I almost always feel like I'm fighting the game. SGG, I'm fighting the game and the controls. SGG controls are not bad but they're super restricing and the game is set up to take advantage of the limited movement.

| furb 04/25/20 1:18:28 PM #38 | the horror element does exist though. You've got a commando squad. Highly trained. Shown to be highly effective. They encounter a "something" that over powers them. The predator makes super soldiers look puny and weak. That power relationship does invoke horror. If Arnie, the Body, and Apollo Creed are spooked and ineffective, then the implication is the general public is screwed.
