You can play the whole game by yourself, but it's not as much fun. Maybe if you only play through the game one time, it doesn't matter much. But if you're going to keep playing with different builds, or try for all the achievements, or do the pvp stuff, it helps to have other people around. You will (eventually) always know what the computer enemies are going to do, but you never know what other humans are going to do. Keeps it interesting. :) Plus, you can play dress-up.

Aha, puppy Sif, good luck! :)

So you came to the right place! :) Lot of dying in this game... :) Good luck! :)

But dying in Dark Souls doesn't mean you failed, the only way to fail is to give up. :) Dying means you screwed up and need to learn something. Usually it's "don't get hit." :)

Yeah, I wouldn't call Dark Souls II bad. For me, it was disappointing compared to Dark Souls. Compared to other random games in my library, it's great. And it still took me 300 hours to realise I wasn't having fun any more. :)

The dying multiplayer is unfortunate, since it's so much fun doing random things with other people in the game. Due to the way the multiplayer works in Dark Souls 1, if you want to play alone it's very simple. You have to actively want people in your game (by "reverse hollowing" at a bonfire) to get them.

I think most new people eventually try "reverse hollowing" in the menu at a bonfire and discover it lets them summon help for a boss fight. But it also lets other people invade your game. So beginners try it, get killed in 1 hit by the invader with the fully upgraded everything, and decide to play the rest of the game alone... Good luck! :)

It's a lot of fun, even for the timid... :) But good luck! :)

Well, that's just my opinion of course. :) Some people may enjoy Dark Souls II more than this. But some people are silly. :) Good luck! :)

This one was from the Humble Store, but yeah if your money is on Steam that doesn't help at all... Good luck! :)

Still trying to decide the eqivalent of "$30.01" i.e. "spent actual money, not just a few $1 bundle tier leftovers." :) But I guess there isn't any such thing in V2. :) Good luck! :)

Umm, good luck. But I bet you say that to all the giveaways... :)

Well, if you don't win, keep watching for a sale, seems every month or two it's got a 75% discount somewhere... :) But good luck! :)

There's regularly a 75% discount somewhere, you can install the "Enhanced Steam" addon for your browser to show any good deals you might be missing and so on. Good luck! :)

Good luck...

Yes, that's how you learn things in this game. And as long as you keep learning, you keep progressing. If one way doesn't work, try something else. :) Good luck! :)

Well, it doesn't suffer fools gladly... :) As long as you pay attention to why you died, you should be fine. For example, if you run into a room full of enemies and die, maybe next time you go slower, and only fight one at a time. Or maybe you run past all the enemies, ignoring them all. Or maybe you keep doing the exact same thing that got you killed before, over and over again, until you quit in frustration. Don't do that. :) Good luck! :)

Yes, dying in Dark Souls is basically the whole point. It wasn't the RNG killing you, you made a mistake, so go back and make a different mistake next time. Eventually you run out of mistakes. :) And as long as you can get back to the place you died, you don't lose anything. Good luck! :)

Hmmm, I wonder if the mods work on a Mac? You'll need "dsfix" to get 60fps, and read the instructions because it's off by default. And you'll have to disable it in a few places because it breaks some things. You might also want the "pvp watchdog" so cheaters don't hit you with various cheat things... Good luck! :)

Good luck... :)

Oho, I see you've already won some great games, hope you find time to play them all... :) Good luck! :)

Not sure if buying things from Nuuvem works any more, I've heard they changed something recently. Don't know the details, though... Good luck! :)

Well it's not going to be a very big chance, lot of people try to win these public giveaways... :) But good luck anyway! :)

Why wouldn't I believe it? :)

I mean, you won't believe it, but I've read the whole thing too. :) And I've read all these comments. :) Don't ask why... :) Good luck! :)

Well it's not at the top of everyone's wishlist, since everyone likes different things. And if I hadn't won a copy I never would have known it existed. Yay for stumbling upon a forum giveaway... :) Good luck! :)

Well, it's good enough to be in your wishlist twice, if you can find a way to do it... :)

Unsurprisingly, it's easier for me to write about games I've played... :) I never know what to say about that Riddick game. And someone will probably be helpful and explain it all to me again. And I'll thank them and forget the entire thing in a week or so. :( Good luck! :)

Don't worry, it's just like csgo... :)

But really, the game is fair. Unless some cheater invades your game, every time you die in Dark Souls it's because you made a mistake.

It wasn't some impossible dungeon you weren't supposed to explore yet, where everything kills you in 1 hit, and you can't do anything about it. You can always do something about it. :) It was something you did (or didn't do) that got you killed. For example, an enemy held out his arms in a way that means "I'm about to grab you and chew on your brains" - and you stood there, wondering what he was doing. :) So you died, but you learned something. The next time that enemy holds out his arms, you will know what it means. :)

Good luck! :)

No problem, good luck... :)
