To a self-admitted fanboy, I'm sure all those things seem true.
I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as you did though. It definitely has the best melee combat around. No doubt about that at least.

Is there a super easy mode mod?
Well, Might and Magic has never given RPS a dime, so of course they're not on the list. I wish I could play Dark Souls, but pretty sure it's a QTE game where timing is mandatory and a 55 year old diabetic probably isn't going to have the reflexes to enjoy it. Is there a super easy mode mod?
In case your question isn't just snarky trolling, Dark Souls doesn't require reflexes so much as patience and observation. And it's not in any way made up of scripted quick time sequences.
The Might and Magic games sucked. They sucked compared to their contemporaries, and they suck even more now.
Several of the Might and Magic games have higher review scores and higher user metacritic scores than Dark Souls. Also, they are generally held in much higher regard here than DS. You might be on the wrong forums, maybe RPS is more your cup of tea.
I have played DS and yes, most builds do require reflexes i.e. timing. To say otherwise is to show that either you have only played those builds that don't require timing or you are outright lying.

I would like to read more on the topic of Dark Souls being an RPG from non-biased sources. Otherwise I have to take it with a grain of salt every time.
It doesn't have so much of a story as it does have bits of lore sprinkled around from NPCs that the player has to piece together to understand, most of it done through optional dialogue.
The game does have classes - classes that can all achieve the same build or loadout, effectively nullifying their "class".
NPCs exist, but outside of dialogue and isolated instances of interaction, don't impact the player in any way. They act as static AI that can be interacted with, but are not required to in order the advance the game, aside from a very select few.
Also, there's no party system.
Though, I think if that's how we define RPGs these days, then I think we need to do away with the RPG label entirely and come up with something else.
I could give a rat's ass what the review scores for Might and Magic games are. Those I played (at least four of them) weren't particularly good. Being old doesn't automatically equal being a great game, though you wouldn't know that from a lot of RPG fans. I do like RPS, actually. But RPGs are my favorite genre of game, and I've played hundreds of them. So, I'll stick around.
ChienAboyeur gets at this in their reply to me: timing and reflexes aren't the same thing. Yes, Dark Souls requires timing. But if you exercise the observational skills and patience that I mentioned in my post, good reflexes don't play nearly as much of a role. If you anticipate instead of react, it's a cerebral game, not a fast twitch muscle game. It's easy to accuse someone of "lying" when you willfully misinterpret what they wrote.
Quoting Chien :lol: That's going to help your cause!!! Thanks for agreeing, good reflexes do play a role. First you said " Dark Souls doesn't require reflexes" now you say "good reflexes don't play nearly as much of a role" - just change the goal posts, a sure way to win any argument :lol:.
"Dark Souls doesn't require reflexes so much as patience and observation."
None of that changes the fact that the Dark Souls games suck.
I'll bet you owned the playground. Too bad your reasoning skills haven't progressed since those halcyon days of 2nd grade.

You have a lot of disclaimers in your NPC paragraph. "They don't impact the player…except when they do. They aren't required to advance the game… except when they are."
There's no party system. Um, yeah…. lots of RPGs don't have party systems. Heck, a lot of hardcore RPG folks like to try to solo even games with party systems. I don't see how this has any relevance.
