AppEAling? More like Appling. Am I right?!?markot said:
The room with the bridge with two archers on it took me so freaking long in the undead parish. I really hated the skellies with the pike/spears and the way they just sit and block. ARGH! Past that whole bit now though and onto the boss, which is schooling me even harder. On the bright side though I destroy those skellies nowhamchan said:

Less than a day after they started selling EA games. They sure move fast!
If you've already bought or preordered something you are safe.

LA Noire: Everyone is a Size 8.
Framerate can be extremely terrible at times.
Very repetitive, even worse than the side missions in the first Assassin's Creed.
Textures are mostly horrible, Mafia 2 shits all over it.
Cole handles like a Jill sandwich. Action is clunky. Again, Mafia 2 did it perfectly.
Should have been a point and click adventure. Sometimes the writing shines through though.
6/10

Shame.
That actually reminds me, I really should try and power through the RDR storyline. Never gave it the time it deserved. Same with Mafia 2.
You know, it almost seems like they could do an awesome Tex Murphy game out of that engine. Wouldn't need to be open world, just... open-ish.

Dumb question but is there anything we can do legally to force EA to stop this anti-consumer region locking garbage? They have offices here in Australia, so their not a foreign company. Is there anything the ACCC can do?
Also the US free trade agreement needs an amendment to include Digital distribution.

EA in Australia is likely an Australian company, not a US company with Australian offices. That's one of the many reasons we have different pricing in Australia.
And with Australia just having signed the ACTA along with most of the other Western world (including the US), things are going to get worse, not better.

Vote with your wallet. If the game isn't as cheap as you think it should be wait until it hits that price point. Don't force them into paying more than you value it at.Gez said:

For me it's not the getting kicked in the balls bit that's enjoyable. It's when you finally kill the thing that was continuously kicking you in the balls and knowing you could do it because your skill increased, that's the enjoyable bit. Shouting "Die you piece of shit!!!!" while you're doing it is also enjoyable.

Sounds to me like Demons/Dark Souls are games for people who have a lot of time to play such games and/or like grinding. Yes?

Bought some of those Vegemites chips. Tasted liked Vegemite

It's not like the traditional rpg grinding where you grind levels to beat a boss. Grinding comes in the form of farming drops to upgrade your shit. And it's not mindless grinding either, because you could easily die and lose all your precious souls.
I really hope there's an area in Dark Souls like 5-1 in Demon's Souls where you could easily farm souls and get a tonne of souls to level up.

Probably not for this working stiff then. Been frustrated enough at having to grind for a little bit at the start of each section of Clash of Heroes, let alone spending hours just to beat some random spawn.commanderdeek said:

You can beat Demon's Souls in 20-30 hours easily so it's not that huge of a time sink I think. There's not really much grinding or farming unless you're trying to get a specific high level weapon. Though it can get repetitive if you keep dying and have to do the level over and over
.Anyways after one day of playing Dark Souls i'm really impressed by the open world. There's no map or objective markers, no handholding at all. They just tell you to do something and then you hopefully pick the right path; you can tell whether it's the right way by how much you get owned. It's actual true exploration and discovery, something I feel has been missing from modern games.

Half of me is sold on Dark Souls and the other half just wants to crawl into a hole in the foetal position until it goes away. I'll probably chuck it on the list and pick it up in a quiet time when it's cheap. Still only hearing good things about it.
That sounds really awesome and daunting at the same time. Might have to shelve it and wait until assignments and exams are over.hamchan said:
And yeah Cods, go pick up Demon's Souls for cheap. You're obviously interested, so just give it a shot. Worst that could happen is that you break a controller

I don't have a PS3... It's a great excuse to have never played Demon's Souls!

It is but the 360 version has a lot more frame rate issues than the PS3 version.

Samsung and Google postpone Ice Cream Sandwich and Galaxy Nexus.
Guess it makes sense. S2 is still selling great, they want to check people's response to i4S and the media will be obsessed with Jobs demise for a couple of days, so better to delay the reveal.
