Dark Souls

[Strasteo]

God damn this looks amazing. I'm psyched for this. Hoping for more than just a few new bosses; maybe some new weapons and armor? (Artorias armor set yes plz)

On one hand, I'm really glad it's reaching out to more people. On the other, I'm severely annoyed by some PC gamers yukking it up and rubbing it in the faces of those that bought it on the console. (Myself included.) :/

I'd be fine with paying for the new content as long as they make an effort to get it to us. Letting us download it for free though would go a long ways though in making us fans feel appreciated however.

apparently it's confirmed it will have games for windows live service.

which sucks for a lot of reasons when it comes to PC gaming. Hell there's even a petition started up about it.

Fan entitlement these days is getting out of hands. Steam or no sale? Really? They didn't even have to port it to the Computer, but even now apparently that's not enough.
Ugh.

[Vic]

I don't get it either.
Sure, GFWL is awful, and i'd rather have a version without it, but what people don't seem to get is that it's the easiest and fastest way to port the game from 360 to PC.
FROM software is a pretty small studio, and I guess even if they wanted to not use GFWL, their resources couldn't support a complete rewrite of the online functionality in such a short time while also adding additional content.

Also, there is, as far as I know, no information on what features it uses, it could simply be for log-in/online play reasons instead of an "always on"-DRM, what most people seem to fear (thats justified, to be fair)


One thing i fear, though, is that this whole fan entitlement results in poor sales and massive piracy, driving FROM into ruin
I hope that'll not be the case.

yo just a reminder for everybody who has Demons Souls
the servers WILL be shutting down FOR GOOD on May 31st. Make sure you get your last few good runs through the game then, as there will also be a final world event on the 31st

[TomGuycott]

Two things.

One: Demon's Souls servers are still up because they got such a large amount of interest after announcing they were shutting them down. They are up for an undetermined amount of time now.

Two: So I was looking for that Prepare to Die trailer to show it to a friend, and instead I found this:


A lot of stuff that's already BEEN shown, but put into more context. Also the ending. O_O

[Marth]

That trailer has been around for awhile now I'm surprised no one posted it yet.

I need to start playing again now so I can fully take advantage of the DLC. Anyone down for some co-op via xbox live? Tag;MarthisMarth

[TomGuycott]

Yeah, it's just one I haven't seen for the Prepare to Die edition. I had seen the concept art of Artorias floating around on the internet, and I had no idea they posted any footage of him at all (even though it's only a split second. Granted, an awesome split second).

I'm on like.. NG+ 7, but on the PS3, so I can't play with you. :<

[Marth]

I'm actually really hyped to see Artorias in action, his overall design just seems fun. Not so sold on that Chimera looking boss they keep showing though, simply because I watched the boss battle against it and it seemed kinda bland to me. It's probably a lot more fun to play but still, I was really hoping for more out of it, unless their polishing it off a bit yet.


NG+ 7? Do you have a death wish?

[TomGuycott]

Yeah, I want to get 10 of every spell so that I can fully attune any of them at any time, and then I want to fully max out all my armor so that I can wear any set that I want. xD

I've already been invading people in the Darkroot Gardens at Artorias' grave using complete sets. I dressed up in the Golem set with the Golem axe and Dragonbone Fist and actually got positive messages as feedback for being so dedicated to it. I knocked a guy off a cliff with the axe wind slash. The rest of the times I just died because I wasn't strong enough to do fast rolling in the armor. xD

[Joseph Styling]

I dare say it's the best jrpg since Lufia 2

[Kami]

The only thing I need to say about Dark Souls, is that I died way too much.

[TomGuycott]

I can't wait for the Prepare to Die updates to apply to the console versions. The new stuff is sooooo sick.

[Marth]

DLC hit consoles today.

I bought it and can't play it because I need to clear Anor Londo. I started new game plus but never actually did anything so I started today because I want to play what I just paid for.

I got to Anor Londo, exams will keep me busy till Friday when i can clear it and actually access the new content.

But for those of you who can play it, discuss!
