I hate Dark Souls 2.
It's a shit game with shit combat, shit level designs, shit graphics, good music, shit items (why are there 2000 healing items, why?) and worst of all, shit bosses (lots of them, mostly shit).
I just finished with Iron Keep and I think I'm done. I just don't like this game.
My favourite part is the slow stunlocks. The game is molasses slow so it's super fun to sit there and watch two enemies stagger stun you for what feels like 20 straight minutes while you can do literally nothing but mash roll and hope you don't (you will) die.

Trying to play Dark Souls with a fucking keyboard and mouse is a nightmare. Holy. Effing. Shit.
lol, I'm not beating Dark Lurker with a KB+M.
edit - I immediately beat him, then died to a random shlub outside of the entrance because I didn't notice I was out of spells and got slaughtered.

I really want to get it, but I'm trying not to buy new games lately.
Of course, if someone were to buy it for me, they could have their pick of anything from my Steam keys list. Literally, anything, even multiple keys even if it's not a fair trade value.
I miss being able to just buy whatever game I wanted, but I sleep better at night now I guess.

Yeah, it does, that was my video. That's why you see me take a half second to get used to that and run into the pillar
. It's honestly a great game just to explore and play around in, independent of being a pretty engaging physics puzzler.
I think I need this game.
Dark Souls 3 is fun and it's shocking how easily I blasted through the first portion of the game I remembered struggling so much with.
Now I'm at the Cathedral of the Deep and I've been oh so slightly nudged off of the rafters to my death about a half dozen times now. Oh, ho ho hoooooo, Dark Souls, oooooh, I outta......

Not playing, but I just ran across this in my discovery queue.

I just rage uninstalled A Boy and His Blob
This game is cute, starts off with some decent puzzles, but the controls are absolute shit, and there are boss fights that require fast action. I was starting to get frustrated at puzzles that requiring tight timing, but the slime-bird boss just pissed me off too much. This was good as a puzzle game, but dodging boss projectiles while trying to do tasks that lock you into animations is annoying. Especially when the boss starts throwing stuff at you without enough time in between to actually do anything.
I wanted to like this game, I really did, but the designers just have no idea how to make a boss puzzle.

Are we talking about the terrible remake?

Yes, the 2016 PC version
I have a question for Stray players please.
Is there cat death? Is it a super sad game?

Thank you. Thanks really want to play, but wanted to double check 
You can be downed but it's not graphic necessarily. Your screen goes redder as these blobby parasite like creatures attach themselves to you until you eventually drop from there being too many. That looks like the below on screen.
And there are a few scripted moments in game that I've come across so far where you land hard and your cat will limp briefly that always make me sad.
I took advantage of the PS Store sale and got Dragon Quest Builders 2
Did you play Xenoblade Chronicles 1&2?Were they fun? I am thinking about starting those two, but that is a large time investment.
I played 1and 2 and liked both. But I have to agree with @Frank in some parts. You will probably enjoy XB1 more than XB2. XB2 can be annoying for the reasons above. The english voice acting is bad and it feels they didn't get any direction to work with. The best solution for this was downloading the japanese voice file (it's a free download) and never looking back. The game can feel sluggish at times and the textures need a bit of loading time. One thing he didn't mentioned what many feel is a big annoying thing is the gatcha game mechanic of drawing Blades and the field abilities. In this game you don't buy weapons you get personefied weapons called "Blades" by resonate with core crystals you can find in the game. However you never know what you get. Either regular common blades or unique blades designed by different artist.
One point I have to disagree with is the high level enemies in the starting area. None of the encounters are random. Every enemy is placed on purpose by the designers. Like many modern RPG you see what you fight. If the level is too high you just stay away and try to walk around. High level enemies are also in XB 1 by the way. For many it's a rite of passage for new players to get squashed by the unique enemies like Territorial Rotbart or Immovable Gonzalez. The first time I played XB1 on the Wii Territorial Rotbart killed me. After that I stayed the hell away from enemies like him. But death is cheap in the Xenoblade Chronicles games.
Dark Souls 3 Cinders mod which upends the game a great deal. You start in Firelink. There's tons of new NPCs offering new covenants and items and such and you have to unlock the door to the original first boss (Iudex Gundyr) whom in the original 3, you had to beat before being allowed into Firelink.
He's now called Corrupted Gundyr and well, this is about how my first encounter went:
"Corrupted Gundyr eh? Well, he seems mostly the same. Huge HP buff. And HOLY SHIT SHIT SHIT OH SHIT HOLY SHIT."
He's faster and shoots curse lasers.

Cinders fucking rules so hard. It turns Dark Souls 3 into an insane funhouse. I would never recommend this mod for first time play but otherwise this is the way to play Dark Souls 3. I have a pocket Solaire! I got invaded by a dude from Bloodborne, then he joined Firelink and sold me Bloodborne weapons and turned my dodge roll into a Bloodborne dash. Poise! Fucking poise! The ability to refight any boss you want (something sorely missing since Dark Souls 2).
Cinders may be the best mod ever.

It's a really decent game that you can completely fuck yourself if you don't set up your units right. For example, right now I'm on mission #9 and I just can't get past it. I'm even save scumming. But there's a part of the mission to protect some suicidal AI that has horses and just goes way faster into the enemy than you can block. Stupid AI.
Other than that it's a pretty fun little game. It's auto combat, but you can tell what attacks are going to be done so it's not THAT onerous. The way combat is, though. means that sometimes you have to attack first when you'd rather hang back a bit and let the AI commit.
Worth it for the low price point.
