Is the Black Armor Edition of DSII exclusive to consoles? The steelbook is sooo sexy

 

[Salsa]

Well, I can confirm that you can play games that display this warning anywhere (I'm in Germany right now I can play MGR besides of what is said on the store page). I guess this warning must refer to the activation of gifted copies.

it only applies to South America and Eastern Europe (so far)

Not in Europe, no idea about NA.

Its available on PC as well, just not in the US.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Dark Souls II comes out at a terrible time, last month of a rather busy semester jam packed with exams and assignments. I won't be able to join until mid June at the earliest

But then you can pick it up on

Spoiler

a reallly small

sale!

Pretty sure its a console exclusive.

edit : wrong. listen to the Grief.

 

[def sim]

Yeah shame that no one I know can get into it.
My Dad and Brother even tried playing it and just gave up. Saddens me to no end.

Aw. You can't win every one. It's cool that they even gave it a try!

I agree.

DARK SOULS™ II landed!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/236430/

So tempted. I want those pre-order exclusives. Are those bonuses Steam exclusive? The physical copies seems to be cheaper to buy

 

[graywolf323]

Yes, I have heard nothing but fantastic things about it. I'm very excited, but to be honest I've heard next to nothing about the game. Which I want to keep until I played it.

But from every mention I've seen of the game, it's been outright praised, and I know in my horror cult circles they call it one of the best horror games on phones.

it's a horror game? *removes from wishlist*

The actual release case has nothing on the spine or front.

And I get to find out whether it's another technical mess without buying it myself.


Still, peer pressure.

Dark Souls 2 in top 3 revenue list ATM.

Give DS1 achievements, now please -- we still have over a month until release of 2.

This article by Patrick Klepek sums up my thoughts on Dark Souls' undeserved reputation for masochistic difficulty that (in addition to not being true) completely overshadows all of the amazing qualities the game has.

I'll read the article later, thank you for linking it.

I know they are. I'm certain he was trying to play it like Skyrim. I'll see if I can convince them on trying it again I probably can. Though it might be a uphill battle, None of them have really been much into the games I like. AKA games that require a little more work to play.

If they like games with instant gratification trying to make them like the same games you like may be a hard battle. D:

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
That is sexy as hell.

 

[TheLetdown]

I put in my share of hours the PS3 Dark Souls and only recently picked up the PC version just to have it.

Still, I was this close to buying 2 on console. (You can tell how close by the italics.) 10 bucks cheaper on Steam and half of that paid for by selling a Dota 2 courier and a little more in CS:GO boxes, in exchange for a 6 week wait...

Yeah thinking about it, I can't recall anything they have played that doesn't fall into that category aside from Rogue Legacy. Shame since I still find that some of the best in gaming usually needs some work to get to.

That looks amazing, but I can't have more boxes in my life.

I'd kill for a high res, clean, amazing wallpaper version.

If I bought that, admittedly, great looking case it'd just go in a drawer after I use the steam code inside it.

I bought the Dark Souls strategy guide because I thought it was pretty. I didn't even open it; I don't use guides!

 

[OldAsUrSock]

All of this mining has even brought up the price of cards on Ebay too! When is the craze going to end?

Would I be able to run the PC version of Dark Souls 2?

Ethan: Meteor Hunter is the most frustrating game i've played in a while. The Pogo level took me about 30 minutes because of how spongy the controls are. UGHHHHHH.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Edit: I don't know what the hell i'm looking at with some of this.
So i'll let someone else answer. But i'm still pretty confident in saying yes you can.

One day... Until then, we'll have Nuuvem.

But I can't use card money with Nuuvem

What's up with this Resident Evil 4 not working with Family Sharing? Me and a bro have to copies we want to share with two of our bros. We have all bought it on previous platforms like 2-3 times, jesus Capcom.

Sure. Just...don't play the game with your laptop sitting on your legs.

Not sure if there's much to brag about. Mobile version of 780 or not, I wouldn't call gaming on a laptop a great experience unless you love throttling due to overheating.

So DS2 is region locked? No way to get it cheaper for Americans?

Might be worth crossing into Steam Community to see if Capcom will answer. Might be an oversight.

Just realised there's a new Humble Weekly in 2 hours, they'll be trolling the shit out of us if it's another Audio Book sale.

Capcom put DRM on their PS3 digital releases to block gamesharing, and they're the only publisher that I know of to do it. They don't want your friends anywhere near your purchases.

They're going to throw us for a loop and have a Graphic Novel bundle.

Depending on the graphic novels, i think i would be okay with that!

Steam Gifts have the nocrossregiongifting flag so you cant trade for cheaper copies
The steam keys are region free though and are €22 atm on kinguin and other such sites

Prepping myself for disapointment and hoping for a Sega bundle.
