Are there any Souls-like games where the main focus is on human vs. human combat? Sort of like a third-person sword-fighting sim?

I'm getting burnt out on games again. It happens to me at least once a month. What do you guys do when this happens to you? Does it happen to you at all?

Last night I thought I'd play Civ 5 for the first time while drunk. It was, well, difficult

I tested out a couple of free games this weekend. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ghost Recon Breakpoint has really improved since the Beta. I may actually buy it. Secondly, Insurgency Sandstorm is not nearly as good as the original, sadly.

All the Arma games are on sale right now. It's also free weekend for Insurgency: Sandstorm and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's a tornado of tactical shooters and I'm debating buying (at least) one of them. What to do?

Does anyone know the story on how Konami got the rights to do the Turbografx mini?

I'm feeling oddly inspired to play some FPS campaigns. I might try to actually beat the campaigns on Black Ops 3, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 1. Any other recommendations?

I'm having trouble forming my final opinion on Death Stranding. It's like the gameplay is way too slow but somehow still satisfying to play.

I realize the Souls games have been hyped until infinity, but certain things don't get discussed enough: the lack of music during normal gameplay actually makes the world feel more eerie. Also, the games are not as impossible as some make them out to be.

Happy birthday to the macho taco!

Hey, sup?

I recently started studying for IT certs, and tonight I tried teaching myself how to go into the registry editor to change my username. After a few files I got an error message, so I carefully changed all the files back. A failed yet fun adventure.

I searched for awhile for the right song to listen to and I landed on this. This song really takes me back. Time flies, eh?

Just played CS:GO for the first time, and I really was missing something.

Hello beautifuls. Been absent 4awhile. Working 2 jobs (though one of them is writing about games!), moving again, single again, working all the time, but all together I feel that mixture of exhausted and happy. Sending much love to the Dtoid community.

I love Windows Defender. It checks in with me every now and then, always to let me know that everything is cool.

I only eat salad when I have to

So Heavenly Sword is pretty cool.

I'm skeptical about the FFVII remake and I feel like I'm the only one.

Not sure why Ubi is receiving the hate. The Delta Company Community program is kind of cool. I honestly thought this year was an excellent E3 all around.

Ok, ok, I love Devolver.

I miss dat boi. He was a good old boi.

I start an internet debate and it keeps me awake at night. I must remember this. I must.

Just a friendly reminder, there's still a few days left in the month to write a cblog based on this month's BoB theme, which is all about movie/game tie-ins!

I got lost in a music wormhole tonight. Here's some classic rock for ya bunch of pranksters

#pettoid This is Django. He has asthma and he's a pain in the neck, but I still love him.

So, I'm at the end of FFX and it's kicking my booty. I guess it's grind time.

Guys, my head is buzzing with excitement. I'm about to start writing for PC Invasion.

I've been helping my parents with lots of home improvement stuff over the past two months. Because of this it's taken me way longer to finish FFX than I would like to admit, but I'm almost there.

I just want to take a second to mention how much respect I have for the staff here at Dtoid. The writers employed by this site inspire my own writing and push me to keep going, whether they know it or not. That is all.
