Bill, the paranoid Vietnam veteran (who was mutated with fly DNA early on).
18, the martial artist with a fierce temper.
Virgil, the generic cool guy and jack-of-all-trades.
Gnomey, the gnome riding a giant rat and friend to all living things.

These four brave souls made it to Canada with nearly maxed morale, and didn't leave a single dead comrade behind them.

Death Road to Canada.

That's Artorias down. After playing almost all of the game with a pure agility build, 68 poise and a +5 Silver Knight Shield feels like an exploit.

*Absorbs one of Artorias's entire combos* Feels working as intended, man.

Dark Souls, still.

Oddly enough, this works the other way around too. After playing through most of the game with a medium-rolling armoured tank, being able to completely evade things with only a small stamina cost feels cheaty. That said, the AotA enemies are pretty brutal and have absurd combo chains. The final boss has one that lasts 5-6 hits.

Abandoning your shield for rolling around like a coward?? For shame.

Believe me, the opposite is just as cheaty if not worse. My brother got through DS2: Scholar of the First Sin almost entirely by wearing the most heavy-duty armor and greatshield he could find while also carrying a massive weapon. He could easily become invincible simply by holding block, wait for the enemies to hit his shield and become stunned, then just hit them a couple times. At least rolling actually requires effort and timing.

* IronTomato wore light armor and dual-wielded swords

The worst part is that most of SOTFS's "Extra Difficulty" comes from just cheaply packing a ton of extra enemies in a small space, and since my brother used huge weapons and could block basically infinitely, he could just wait for most of them to be magically stunned by his shield and then kill all of them simultaneously with his weapon's huge range. I on the other hand could only hit one or two at once and had to time my attacks on one enemy extremely carefully to avoid having one of the others sneak up on me for surprise buttseks. The fact that SOTFS was the first Dark Souls and only Dark Souls game I've played doesn't help.

I understand the fun in using the more effective method and winning but there's nothing cheap about using the simplest method to win that the game gives you.

Hiding behind a huge shield is also being a coward.

I beat Misty using an underleveled Pikachu while I wasn't even paying attention. I was replaying an unskippable cutscene-heavy portion of Mass Effect 3 and playing Pokemon to kill the time faster. I had to look at ME3 for a second and kept mashing A on the 3DS, then I looked down and saw I had taken the last of Starmie's HP.

Pokemon Yellow.

Play Bloodborne and try to hide behind the one shield in the game
good luck

Your image appears to be broken, somehow.

The link went bad and I deleted the picture after uploading it, unfortunately.

Basically, I picked up another Fusou (Kantai Collection), while simultaneously leading a group of adventurers through the Cove (Darkest Dungeon), while in the background; a Ryu is plunking down stations for me to turn into a Space Weed Complex (X3 Albion Prelude).

Multitasking.

[AzyWng]

When you said Ryu I thought you were talking about Street Fighter

[Dutrius]

IIRC the Ryu is the Yaki's TL ship.

It's the final battle.  The world has risen in revolt against our alien overlords.  We've fought a long and brutal battle to get here, to this final arena, and the aliens have finally sent in their best and their brightest, their Avatars, to face us directly in hand-to-tentacle combat.  Our troops (plus a Gatekeeper and Codex who our commander and Colonel Yeboah have "convinced" to join us) are tired, worn, low on supplies, but far from finished yet.  The first Avatar teleports in with allies and glares at us, ready to give the order to attack.  The first and most junior of our assault force, Major Kirill Chepurnov ("Meltdown" to his friends), steps forward, takes aim...and immediately executes the first Avatar with absolutely no fuss given.  Welp.

Secondary highlight: Serial chainining to take down an entire wave of reinforcements and even nick the last Avatar for scratch damage.  Now, to get less than 4 hours of sleep and head off for a full day after that, because I did not expect the final missions to take that long. >_<
