Dead is Dead - First Playthrough : V

» Tue May 08, 2012 4:43 am

Hello!
Who else, other than me are planning to play Dead is Dead exclusively from the start? I think it's a great rule of thumbs and adds alot to the experience.

You might of course want to create your own set of rules for such a Gamestyle.
I only reload a dead character if the death was caused by Bugs/Glitches with the software/hardware, but if i die due to my own stupidity i have to reload.

Certainly not on the first playthrough, it's not how it's meant to be played, and i think it's for a reason. Might be fun to try it out sometime though...

Not I. I want to get a feel for the game play before I try something like that.

Since i manage to die in first minute or two and some games, i think I'll do just fine with saving and loading.

Not me.Seems kinda stupid.I play games so I can wonder around without fear of permanent death.If I would like that I would go outside,to the wilderness.

Maybe on my second play through.

Wanna do dead is dead on Dark Souls?

It sounds interesting, but I'll save a DiD playthrough for later. I need to get used to the game first. (yes I know, I'm a coward).

Not on the first runthrough. Debating doing this on the second/third.

I'm using the rule in real life already, svcks...

I won't play dead is dead in any playthrough. I'm playing the game to enjoy it, not to get frustrated because I need to start a new game every time my character dies.

Well, as all the other posters, you like to get to know the game, and i understand that! :wink_smile:

Might just be me, i find it adds more gameplay hours, and i love "mourning" over dead characters, haha. It adds great value.

My first playthrough will be dead-is-dead. I like the intensity.

» Mon May 07, 2012 3:01 pm

I will try my damnedest not to die (ie. I'll play it DiD style), but if I do die I will carry on.

» Tue May 08, 2012 4:19 am

Is this an actual game feature or is it just a thing i would have to commit too?

Well, carrying on really destroys the purpose of DID, but i know what you mean. But as long as you know you can just reload the game, it really makes you more comfortable. Give me hell! :obliviongate:

Yes I'll play DiD from the beggining along with http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1250685-this-is-how-i-plan-on-playing-skyrim/ set of rules beause I want the game to be really hard. I want to feel like I've accomplished something epic when I first beat the main quest.

I'll probably have a more relaxed approach from my second playthrough on tho.

» Tue May 08, 2012 1:08 am

The odds are highly likely I'll get smushed by the first Dragon I see. So no.

» Mon May 07, 2012 10:35 pm

Considering many enemies can one shot u early in the game... Nah, that's okay. I pray for ur success though! :foodndrink:

I can't find myself commiting to rules like the above. But i guess they add quite the difficult meter! :cryvaultboy:

I'll launch the game on Hard, DID and learn from there. :thumbsup:

Is that a difficulty higher than hard? or is it like a hardcoe mode? never heard of it?

» Mon May 07, 2012 8:59 pm

getting up to the final fight withought dying just to die right before you kill aludin, then having to start from the beguining.

yeah that makes total sense. :S

Moderators: If this is an actual in-game feature, then please move this thread to "Spoilers". Thanks.

On Topic:
I think permanent death or similar is something I'll try out later on, not on the first playthroughs.

No. http://graveyard.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_is_Dead:_A_gaming_playstyle_choice

It's a rule where if you die, you'll reload with no other "prompt" than yourself.

Dead is Dead is where if you die the game deletes your save file. Well that's how it works in X3:TC anyway.

Damnit, can't people just keep their mouths shut until release? /rant.

this is not a game feature, this is a play style.
