They're trying so hard with gamergate 2 but the juice was squooze

I am surprised they missed that chest, though.

I've watched a bunch of people play ds1 for the first time and not even once I've seen people go down that elevator shaft if not by accident. Ds1 is already obscure and difficult to get, but this one is too much even for that.

I'm like 80% sure you can get to those ones just by taking the stairs up to the elevator and then falling down. I think you only need to ride the elevator to get to the crow's nest.

Yeah what I meant was that most people see a dark elevator shaft in a game that's famous for making you die a lot, and think "yeah I'd rather not fall in", instead of trying to fall in in case there's a secret area.

Yeah you can get to those without the elevator

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Oh, I thought this was that area in DS2 when you drop off around where Persuer um ...pursues.

"Gaming journalism" was such a peculiar concept to begin with.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

it's a very easy target because so many games journalists are glorified advertisers for slop for children, and are very insecure about this fact, but for some reason the ones that get the most shit from gamergate guys are just enjoying video games wrong

That's literally the starting area ffs

Yeah it really doesn't matter but I can see both sides of this

On the one hand this is a chest you can get in the first half hour of the game both-sides but on the other hand I can see a lot of people just going "nope" to going that direction after getting killed by skeletons

It's a side part of the starting area that you don't really have any particular reason to explore thoroughly. It is very missable.

I hate games and gamers. I rather they be forced to play football and get concussions
