I...
I've been wrong my whole life.
Greatshields aren't cheap in Dark Souls 2, unlike how I looked at them before.
The event that changed this?
My making of a new character that pretty much fulfills all the stereotypical traits of an anime brawler dude.
Huge muscles? Check
No shirt? Check
High saturation hair? Check, blue as hell
Fist weapons? Fuck yeah, two of them.
A giant sword? Haven't gotten that far yet.
Making stupid sounds with your mouth during every simple task? WATAH! HWAH! WAAAAAAAAAA!
Miracles to give you that lustrous super saiyan glow? In a few more play sessions, for sure.
Punch the Pursuer in the face multiple times without dying? Tomorrow night, that is the goal.
Dark Souls 2. I swear, not only is this game more fun when you do stupid things, it's also magically easier.
