Why is mobile gaming retroactively ruining the things we love?

Just heading to kill the second last boss on Dark Souls when I saved and turned off my 360

3 hours later turned it on and flashing red light on the 3rd light on the console

If it was some other game it would "easy come , easy go" but for Dark Souls that is nasty !!!

YOU DIED

That game is pure evil, handy those cloud based saves though, at least you can do access them back to a replacement console, to your profile.

I was talking to Myrddin earlier and was telling him about a cake that the wife of one of the lads in work made for my sons birthday. I was actually collecting a Gamecube from him at the time and just didn't call him to talk about cakes;) I just told her he loves Mario and she came up with this.

Those cakes are awesome! I absolutely love the detail.

We should chip in to buy a smaller cake for the beers.

Every occasion deserves cake!

Right, I found a shop with a copy of Senran Kagura Burst in stock, but is it worth buying?

Considering I was greeted with this in the opening scenes of the game. Yes.

DinoRex

Enjoying Stick of Truth a lot today. Don't understand all the negative reviews. The gameplay is on par with Mario and Luigi Super Star Saga.

For the most part the humour relies too much on referencing jokes that were already made in the TV series, but there are some great jokes about video games in general though, loved the bit where you're going around collecting pointless audio logs.

CiDeRmAn

Re the filthy game for the 3ds,
I see a particularly in incensed blog on the Official Nintendo Magazine site imploring, for the sake of women, for no one to buy the game, look at youtube clips of it, read reviews of it and so on.
Unfortunate then that the site contains both videos and reviews of the game...

johnny_ultimate

This review of the game is pretty definitive in its conclusion: http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/07/senran-kagura-burst-review-booby-prize-4433635/

Cidey, you can probably knock a point or two off the score since its a scrolling beat em up!

The difference between Players and Gamers..

Hmm, might save my money for something more highbrow, like Gal*gun!

Myrddin

Demons & Dark Souls...is there any format that is better to pick these up on...360 or PS3?

johnny_ultimate

Demons' Souls is only on PS3, and that's the only real reason I stuck with that console for Dark Souls (and the sequel). Don't think there's any major difference between the versions, although obviously you'll need XBL Gold for the pretty much vital online interactions - you won't know when to praise the sun otherwise!

DinoRex

I find the PS3 controller much better than the 360 controller for Dark Souls. Those shoulder buttons are just too awkward to get to on the 360.

Using DSfix on the PC makes Dark Souls look a lot better though, usually goes pretty cheap in the sales on Steam too. It's biggest problem is that is uses Games for Windows Live for online play, which in addition to being terrible is also being phased out soon.

Retr0gamer

PC version of Dark Souls is the best. Otherwise the PS3 is the definitive console version, it's slightly better on that machine and has free online.

eddhorse

I think Demon Souls is still free on PS+ If that's any use to you. Could only get by level 1-1. Hard graft.

Nah not for me it's not, I think when I joined this game had left the IGC. Would rather pick them up physically anyway, play them properly, & see what all the fuss is about

Hold on a minute, why the hell haven't you played Demons Souls and Dark Souls yet :O

I can forgive Demon's Souls as it wasn't cross platform (and because I haven't played it either :eek:) but nobody should be missing out on Dark Souls at this stage. Best game of the generation IMO.

That might make an interesting thread, The Hall of Shame. Not just about you though, everyone I mean. :pac:

Even though Dark Souls is the better game, I got more from Demon's Souls - there was nothing like it at the time. I'll never forget accidently attacking an NPC, thankfully it was close to the end of the game so didn't hamper me too much. God that game would break your heart sometimes though.

Played that on the original Xbox, I can't remember what happened at the end.

Is Dark Souls II out this Friday????

Holy ****, I've been looking forward to it so much that the release date seemed years into the future. Can't believe it's actually almost upon us.

Better dig the 360 out of storage, I hope it still works :eek:

DinoRex

It's out today in the US....

Nothing happened, that's the problem. There wasn't even a boss battle with the bad guy that they'd spent the while game bigging up.

Finish the first one yet?

He's waiting for me to visit again so I can beat it for him and claim the victory as his own :P

DinoRex

I believe he was left with The Depths and Blight Town to do next... a mere doddle.

Retr0gamer

But he's decided to go to the New Londo ruins instead, a high level area with one of the hardest bosses in the game... Good luck with that.
