That must be a PC version of Dark Souls!

What are the chances of a Mac version? Oh one can dream.

Hopefully it corrects some of the framerate issues of the console versions...

It's good huh ?! And the ending 'chapter' is a thing of pure atmospheric audio-visual grace only recently bettered (well, equalled) by the closing chapter of Journey.

I live and breathe games like Limbo but you know what, I'm still stuck on that game. I can't even remember the bit I'm stuck at but it utterly perplexed me... maybe I need to go back and look at it with fresh eyes.

tales of symphonia

 

Really? I love the tales games and that one is one of my favorites! First one I played... Have you played it before or are you just picking it up?

i've played it a few times before. don't think i've finished it before tho, got to the final boss and finished there. it's an amazing game, i love the series but have only played this and vesperia (possibly my favourite game ever). they don't get to the UK much by the looks of it. is graces getting a uk release? i hope so.

ahhh just checked the wiki and only f is in the us, so even if we got it over here it'd probably be the f version and i don't have a ps3.

Are you stuck at the magnet puzzle?

I think so. It's been a while since I've played it, but I think there's a bit of rotation when you move to get to a high ledge... and I'm pretty sure there's a magnet. Some electricity when it kicks in I seem to recall?

If it's the puzzle I'm thinking of (and I'm pretty sure it is because everyone seemed to have problems with it back when Limbo came out) then it's all about timing. It's a bastard.

Aye, had me going for a while too: Remember gravity and magnetism make things rise and fall at different speeds.

Think I might find some time tonight and revisit it.

my girlfriend gave me her old DS and a copy of pokemon heartgold so we can play pokemon together which is PRETTY GAY but thats cool

so i also went out and got GTA: Chinatown Wars and the Adventures of Henry Hatsworth and wheee i like the DS. she has a 3ds and i can see why no one likes them lol.

i must really suck at Skyrim. Im lvl 19 already, only done about 3 or 4 quests...built my smithing up to use elven light armor and usually sneak around with a bow, turn and use a one-armed weapon if i get found out.

Im doing a quest against the Silver Hand (where you have to raid a small fort), and everytime three or four of them jump out, im dead within a couple of hits....wtf am I doing wrong?

also, is it just me or are healing potions insanely rare in the beginning parts of the game? ive never been able to have more than maybe 10 on me for any quest.

or wait...am I spose3d to turn into a werewolf?

also, I need to remember to use shouts...that force push shout looks like it could be damn useful in these situations.

i think they want you to make them, the ingredients are frickin everywhere.

yeah, but so far ive only found the blisterwort/wheat combination, and I can usually only buy those ingredients off of merchants...

eating everything to find out its power is a little annoying too....i lost countless amounts of ingredients via failed potions until i realized you had to do that. I was pretty badass at Oblivion, this game completely changes it up.

Have you got any restoration spells - certainly in Oblivion after gaining one things got considerably easier

i have the default healing one from the beginning....maybe if i survive this quest ill do that first thing.

I've been playing mw3 on 360 since it came out but I've decided to go back to black ops. mw3 maps are so fucking shit!!!

jesus christ even being a werewolf doesn't work...i guess ill have to reload from an earlier save

err...nm ill just cheat myself and lower the difficulty.

you're not cheating. you're using the power of CHIM.

Skyrim is easy with destruction magic. My first character used it and I blew through everything. My 2nd character was a full melee build and most things were fine except dragons, and only because they never fucking came down.

If you really wanna make Skyrim easy, don't ever go to the level up screen. I did this as a naked warhammer swinging Nord and blew through the Companions in around an hour at level 2.

Really bummed about Ninja Gaiden 3, loved the first 2 but the new one looks truly horrible:

http://kotaku.com/5894896/heres-everything-i-cant-stand-about-ninja-gaiden-iii

The QTEs, the over the top German Shepard murder, looks horrific.

Oh God QTEs ..... (for me) the mark of a poor game and a production company out of ideas. I blame Shenmue (though, back then it was an innovation rather than an overused trope (do I mean 'trope' ? don't know))

KEEP PRESSING 'A' TO NOT LOSE !

I've expressed my disdain for Ninja Gaiden 3 ever since it was announced. Itagaki left Team Ninja and since then whoever this dickhead is they put in charge doesn't seem to get that relentlessly fast paced and difficult gameplay is what makes the Ninja Gaiden games good. They're all about flow, about going into a room and fucking up a bunch of people using style, speed and ultra violence. Having QTE's and all this zooming shit for every kill completely misses the point.

Sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel, this is one of those times.

Fuck off Ninja Gaiden 3.
