anyone want to convince me why i should pick Dark souls 2: SOTFF over the original version ?

I want to try Dark souls 2 a shot but don't know if the re release is better .
 
So killing the enemies I encounter instead of sparing them?

There is a bit more to it, you need to a specific amounf of enemys in every area until you get an encouncter saying "a fight started... but no one came" (Or somethign similar) and you have to kill all bosscharacters.
 
Any chance it'll reach this price in the Steam sales? I have some money in my wallet that I never use but I don't want to pay more than on another site

I would put it at 0%. I seriously don't know if you'll see it at that price on Steam anytime soon.

SOTFF has different enemy placements, all the DLC, and a better rendered. It's basically the 'definitive' edition.

The DLC built in is the biggest plus. It's the best content in the game.

More items is nice too. Different enemy placement is questionable but I didn't really have any problems with it.
 
Is the Ultimate Game Makers Bundle worth it if my daughter (10) is interested in trying to make a game?
They've started using Scratch at her school.
Don't know how much grasp of the English language she needs.

She spoken of making a side-scroller with a cat.

Thanks, I bought it.

I think I'll wait for now, not ready for another run already,
especially that type of run

Better item and enemy placement too.

I'd throw those into the "meh" catagory personally. Everything SotFS did should've been patched into the Steam original release. There's no technical reason beyond the 6 player co-op (and even then I'm dubious on that) that any of it couldn't have been thrown into the original release.

well, it has all the dlc included and dx11 support which I think automatically means (slightly) better visuals?

does vanilla dark souls 2 even get discounted? I thought it was neglected after sotfs.
 
Well at least the main menu music for GITS is better than what they had in the trailer. Still not a patch on Yoko Kanno's work, but an improvement. I'm also glad they have Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Richard Epcar involved, don't know if they've got the rest of the cast yet.

In short, kill me now before I end up actually liking this.

Not only does it have everything that has been mentioned so far but it has dope encounters with the scholar of the first sin which adds to the lore quite a bit.

Go with Scholar everytime.

That's been added to the base game too. But yeah, Scholar is the right choice.
 
Do we know more than january as the release date?
16th of January I believe is release date for Steam/PC version. Was in one of their promo videos. No clue why they still haven't updated that date on its Steampage.

Very happy it's here soon.

And I just read on Community Hub preorders start in five days.
 
Wonder if the exclusivity deal with MS payed off for the pubs or if they're biting their asses.

I don't think so.
 
i should do another dark souls 2 run to see the scholar stuff, i remember they patched that in the middle of one of my playthroughs and i randomly warped to the cemetery place and was like WTF who is this huge scary fire guy

but i dunno if i have another dks2 playthrough in me, i beat that game like 6 times already

i'd rather just play dks1

I don't think so.

outch

they got screwed hard by fo4
 
Here's what i thought about it:
5)
At first I thought the experiments with the souls ended up with creating Mettaton, but it turns out it was the flower. So is Mettaton just a robot?
6)
Is there any point in restarting the game? After loading again the flower advised me against it, and now there is a True Reset button I can choose. Am I still missing something?

5)
Buy the Mystery Key from Bratty and Catty and got to the house next to Napstablooks.
6) Well you can to see the variation in events that happen if you do the same path or a neutral run. There is also the option of making it a very different game by killing everyone before moving onto a boss in every area.
 
The way RotTR was revealed, then marketed, then had tentative release dates for PC and PS4 announced before the Xbone version even released itself no one should be surprised it tanked. I think I saw one advert on TV and not a sing'e reference in print (considering the industry and circles I work in this is even more bonkers) and the only form of advertising it got were some YouTube vids, some promo website and an info hub on the Bone itself.

First it's exclusive, then it's not, then it's Holiday 2015 on Xbox platforms, shortly there after it's also on PC Q1 2016 and Q4 for PS4. Just a whole mess from top to bottom. Shame as I really, really enjoyed it and it certainly deserved better treatment.
 
hopefully people see the way the whole situation unfolded with Tomb Raider and never do that again...but I'm sure someone else will be dumb enough to try

Sad thing is that Crystal Dynamics is one who will felt consequences the most. Based on everything i heard and read even basic dev costs are not covered yet (or barely covered). Square Enix sold exclusivity for cheap and that will bite them in the ass.

alien isolation is long as hell

I can think of a few places that could use some trimming, especially the final stretch. By just cutting out the final hour or so, the whole game's pacing would be highly improved. It's at its best while it's introducing new concepts or combining them for the first time, but after a while they drag their feet until the next idea comes along.
