Dark Souls 3: Ashes of Ariandel Coming Soon
Back when Dark Souls 3 released it completely rooted itself into my very being.

I remember the first time I stepped into the world of Titanfall back in 2014. Yeah, of course the sight of calling your first Titan down onto the map was incredible, but something else was how unique the pilot controls were.
