I voted but then Kritz cleared the database :(
Yeah... that's what happened to me as well?

HAHAHAHA I'm still in the upper half! My porn still downloads fast enough! You will find yourself up to the eyeballs in it in no time and drown in it!

^^^ da hell:OO

I think I like the sound of Demons more. I dont know why, but also its supposed to run better?
I guess there's less jank, don't really remember. I liked Demon's Souls more because a. I finished it and b. I like how it has a hub world and separate areas - vs Dark Souls' open world-ish type roaming around everywhere design.
 
I like that they've found it necessary to include Australian colloquial terms in the rating.

"It's high impact bloody violence, mate! Strewth, don't letcha kids see ya playin' the flamin' thing!"


Just updated the firmware on my router, so I figured it was worth sharing:

So jealous.
 
That Dark Knight Returns Part 2 was kind of a let down and Joker's voice actor was weak as hell. He sounded like Rodger from American Dad.

Atleast he made me laugh, with how bad he was.

Seen it.

Watch it.

Excellent doco.
I enjoyed it... but it really didn't need to be a "doco" when it could've just been really good episode of This American Life. Kinda weirded me out with the CONSTANT animated photo thingys.

But yeah, the meat of it was incredible.

Damn, that's blazing fast.

Don't get me started on Dawn of War 2 though.

The original + expansions were so much better
Got those too, but they're not Steam :)

So jealous.
It was for the grand total price of... -$30. Went from 30mbit 500+500 for $130, to 100mbit 500+500 for $100.

Demon's Souls. $25. Y/N?

And what is in the black phantom thing that makes it worth $200 on ebay?

You haven't played Demon Souls?

Get it asap. Stop everything you are doing and play it now!

Then play Dark Souls afterwards.
 
Dark Soul's is incredibly janky and the developer should not be praised for its presentation.

I think that would be the last thing it would be praised for, From are one of those developers whose games always carry a certain amount of jank with it.

Thankfully the art design and gameplay tends to make it inconsequential to the enjoyment after the first few hours of learning how to game the game.

In what ways is Dark Souls janky?

Menu design is terrible.
Controls are just mediocre adding to the difficulty curve.
The animation feels far from fluid.
The game runs incredibly poorly (super low frame rate for the visual quality).

Add all that up and it is a terribly frustrating experience that atm I can not get past.


What about demons?

No idea. I only play PC games.

lol@animation priority games = janky

Although are you KB+M? That might explain bits of it, the controls are genuinely terrible without a controller.

Can't say I remember much about the menu design and it ran fine for me with the user patches.

The controls in Demon's Souls aren't "janky", they're slow and deliberate and they make sense but you have to adapt. They're just more "simmy" than your typical action RPG. Framerate sounds like the main complaint.

Using a controller.

Yeah, I found the framerate and the lack of fluidity in animation really off putting.

I'll probably be able to look past it when I decide to put more time into it though. Only played about an hour.

Dawn of War 2 is one of the best series this gen. It's a different genre to the first one. DoW1 was good but it wasn't doing anything that interesting. DoW2 pushes the RTS in an RPG direction in a way that I wish more people would try. In the end it has more in common with say Dragon Age than it does with Starcraft. And that's really cool. Shame about the story.

Every DC animated movie in the past few years has been a huge letdown for me. They're so awkwardly written, acted and paced, and the animation is so sterile. Year One was awful.

THis took me 5 and a half hours yesterday. Exact same game too!
It did actually slow down a little as it went on. I think it took a little under 8 minutes overall.

But by my logic, this is good for me. If I have faster internet, I'll use it less and spend more time being normal! Yay!

Lafiel : it sounds too hard so I haven't thought about it seriously. Til now. I see people call too many games hard these days that are really very easy. How bad can it be.
It's really not that hard at all. In fact demon souls/dark souls have the perfect difficulty curve as far as I'm concerned, not too punishing, not too easy due to the nature of the design, all the game requires you to do is to pay attention.
Also everything about Omi post is just straight-up wrong. I can't comprehend how anyone could find the game or the controls "janky" this isn't skyrim or the witcher lol.:p

Dark Souls has janky controls. Button placement is all over the shop, and getting around the world and user interface is cumbersome. It's janky.
 
Erect.

I'll admit the controls have hampered my desire to keep playing them (on console) but had no issue with controls in The Witcher 1 or 2. In fact I loved TW2 controls (a lot more than the majority of people it seemed during the OT) and felt it was a good mix.

I should be able to hit around 100-120 fps with my 670

=D

Yes and no. That just cleans up the visuals from completely unacceptable, to mediocre but still pretty fucking rubbish.

No, I meant the problem is that it was only fixed because of the community.

Opinions can be misinformed or ignorant, by that criteria they can be wrong!

How are the controls janky? everything has it's place, I mean R1/R2 for light / heavy attacks L1 for block L2 for parry, analog for movement, square for healing items, circle for dodging, hold x to sprint, digital for quick item switch. I genuinely can't comprehend how anyone could have any issues with the controls. Inventory management can be somewhat of a pain, but it's perfectly serviceable for a console role-playing game.

As much as I love the Witcher 2. I don't get this opinion either, if we are comparing the controls on the console versions of both respective games. The Witcher 2 definitely doesn't control as well as Dark Souls.:p in fact all the elements The Witcher 2 took for it's combat system from Demon souls were done much worse in that, esp the dodging which is janky as fuck.
 
You fucked up omi, Demon/Dark souls (also Platinum Games but thats not as relevant here) fanboys are worse than any other fanboys even victim complex Nintendo fanboys.

If you don't like their games its your fault for being a terrible person, bad at games etc it's never the games fault in the slightest.

I think the above seems to prove that. Apparently I am now ignorant.
