just from 10 seconds of that steam it looked like a Souls game. same UI, same movement, same lock on, same death message
I'll hit you up in 2017.

Im seeing Onimusha due to the setting and such. But not seeing ninja gaiden at all watching this stream. He isn't doing anything even comparable to those games.
its cute and short. Its also been bundled 457 times
I missed the rocket league deal and I am pissed. Steam would not add it to my cart while there were still 15 minutes left... I was gonna pay with card money + paypal and now I have to wait till the summer sale to get it. I was selling cards all weekend to be able to afford it and then steam glitched on me!
i think the game looks gorgeous, but i just have a lot more fondness for the locations in 2 and 1. like dks2 had some really shitty dungeons but the alva mansion and the copse and the shrine of amana and majula and the dragon aerie and the rainy castle place, idk, i thought the variety of the locations was really impressive and they just looked super imposing and colorful and whatnot. not all of those are like anor londo quality but i didn't find that many areas in dks3 that got the same response from me like shrine of amana did (in both the good and the bad lol)
none of these games have bad art design by any means, but compared with each other i feel like dks3 didn't manage to amaze me as much as dks2 or dks1 did. i still have a bit more to go so there's a chance for it to go out with a bang
for me it hurts the replayability a whole lot cos i like taking different routes and beating bosses out of order and leveraging my late game knowledge to get strong weapons early and all of that.
also it just feels like a downgrade, dark souls 1 had fantastic level design, an interconnected world that allowed for a very non-linear style of game
demons souls wasn't interconnected, but it was even more non-linear, and also had the nexus as an ever changing hub
compared to dks3 which is a straight line with a boring nexus i'd say it's a big negative

Koei Tecmo is good usually with PC support though right. So I'm looking forward to Samurai Souls, ehrm Ni-Oh.
Currently playing Rocket League and Mad Max with a few breaks playing Planescape Torment. My oh my, I'm having some of the best time playing games I've had for a long long time.
Thanks to the people that posted their opinions on mad max and beautiful screenshots, glad I decided to buy the humble monthly.
That's all, just wanted to say thanks, I'm going onto the wasteland again.

ITT BernardoOne accidentally admits to never having played a Souls game
or to not have clicked that twitch stream at the very least
I'm slowly becoming less shit at Dark Souls. Mostly because I find the combat fun so I just run around and fight random enemies trying out new stuff. The first black knight guy especially I fought probably fifty times in a day. Consequently I'm 20 hours in and have killed I think four bosses lol.
I really like any enemy that has your same general move set rather than weird monsters. Maybe I'll hop into the PvP stuff after a bit longer.

This makes me think that like me and others I know, you missed most of the NPC related content. It's really easy to mess up quests and encounters this time around. I agree with the rest (except for the world bit) and as a negative to 3 I'd add redundant covenants and lack of PvE oriented ones. 2 did that better than the others, I think.

Yup, there are some of the best characters and questlines which can get missed/locked out easily.
Taking my cues from trailers and gameplay they released before. There were definitely some Ninja gaiden-esque flashy jumps and dodges here and there. Dunno, seems to play more like most of Samurai type games I remember than it does play like Souls.

You should take a look at this.

About the only thing is that the game does have actual combos. So the flashy moves you saw are that.
So I guess I can understand that being there slightly. It's definitely going for souls while offering it's own thing.
i've missed some of them (namely y
uria
siegward, patches, sirris, anri, irina and her creepy dragonface friend
it's better than 2, sorta, but it's nowhere near 1 or demons
this sounds super useful, thanks
now it's the same price as the 3DS Picross e series. so it's a good price for what you're getting

lots of different weapon skills to learn in Nioh that are tied to the "stance" or "sheathed" weapon (at least as far as Katanas go)...low, mid, high stance and sheathed...low uses the least stamina per hit and high the most...you can watch little preview videos of the skills and such before buying them
looks pretty good to me so far

Oh I'm sorry do you want me to GIFT it to you? :V
Game is addictive mate and well worth the price.
Take it from someone who is gonna switch Steam to offline mode and play it for the next 3 hours...
Gamers nowadays are all about the now, they foolishly chose to neglect the past.

You literally die and lose souls in Ni-oh and start back at a bonfire.
is that shame i see?
just like Ninja Gaiden
edit: by the way someone was talking about not being able to gift all 4 copies of a 4 pack for Rocket League, Bundle Stars has the 4 pack on sale, and on bundlestars its 4 individual keys one imagines?

Hey! Any Borderlands fans out there? Question, should I play any of the Borderlands FPS games before playing Tales from the Borderlands to get the jokes? I've played the first one. Don't really remember anything from it except Claptrap. I have Borderlands 2 but haven't played much of it.

it's the most ninja-est of gaiden-likes
its also not top-down? Looks neat tho
not really no. I mean you could since they are good at the very least, but its totally not needed. Hell the character you need to know the most about in theory is Jack (and Athena actually), both from Pre-Sequel which I didnt play, and I had no problem understanding Tales
well thats something.

You really don't need to have played the games to enjoy Tales. I knew very little of 2 and absolutely enjoyed it.
Why do I feel like this is the kind of thing where in 6 months they'll take the servers offline and it will die =/
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
And you can tell by the writing too
not a boredlands fan but tales is a great game regardless of you playing the shooters
there's characters from the shooters but the story and the humor is totally self contained
go for it, tales from the boredlands is a wonderful one-of-those

The world connectivity was more important in Dark Souls when you didn't have warping to go wherever you wanted.
I personally loved finding shortcuts that tie back to the home base and different available paths at any given time. Getting rekt in Place A? Ok fine, go ahead and take Path B or C and come back later.
The warping in 2 and 3.....eh. It's easier to get around, but I feel less connected to the world and really don't know how each area is connected once progressing zones.
That being said, the inter-zone design in 3 is reallllly top notch.

The lack of choices in exploration really is my biggest issue with DS3. In the first game and even DS2 you usually had multiple areas to tackle at once. This happens rarely here, and it makes the world feel more linear and smaller than usual. Individual areas themselves are usually intriguing and well designed, though.
Probably team C-.

The update for Project Orion does not include the new camera perspective yet.

So if I want to get the most out of it, the Pre-sequel is the one I should play first?
You really dont need to dude, its not a sequel to those games.

In terms of gameplay quality BL2>PreSequel, at least that's what I've gathered from people so far >_>
So in case anyone had any hopes or doubts, yeah, Persona 5 PC is not happening.

Is he that guy that posted that Futurama gif before?

Yup. That's why it has no value to me. He's also the "Persona 5 is definitely coming in West in 2015" guy. Basically, knows shit, except when he wants to.
