Haha, thanks for that Slapshot

_{though the part where that one guy said "Lightning's sword from FF15" kinda made me sad >:[}

That ad was spine-chilling.

That's a great video. Wouldn't mind watching it without the commentary though.

Ico collection arrived today. Looking forward to playing it.

Also, been getting into Mass Effect 2. About 20 hours in. Doing lots of side missions. Anyway, I was doing Thane's loyalty mission earlier, and failed it (got lost in the corridors). Are there other chances to make him loyal, or have I missed out?

@Fuzzy I'm not sure if you can still gain his loyalty or not actually. It's been a longtime since I played it. If you're 20 hours into it, then you're probably not too far from finishing up the campaign then.

@Slapshot
That video was cool! I totally missed Sweet Tooth's truck, Ratchet & the portal. They should've thrown in a Wipeout ship out by the truck.

Something I thought about- the new PS3 Uncharted bundle comes with a month of PS+, so what kind of benefits would you get, and do they disappear after that month? (as in, if I bought a PS+ exclusive game, would it disappear after that month?)

If you purchase a discounted or exclusive PS+ game, you have it forever. Free games expire when your subscription does.

You get lots of stuff, but I've only had it for like a week or two now, you'll have to ask someone else D:

I'm opening a GameFly account and I need some help picking which two games I want. The first two games are my most anticipated games out right now.

• Resistance 3
• Dark Souls
• Catherine
• Motor Storm Apocalypse
• Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny _{My bro might be getting this since he works at GameStop so it's an iffy at the moment.}

I've just finished reviewing Dark Souls. 5/5 game. It's brilliant, if a little less striking than Demon's Souls before it.

Get it, everyone. Especially the Monster Hunter fans out there. The challenges are much the same, really.

I have this feeling that's aimed at me o.o

Since you talked me into to it, I plan on picking it up sometime soon D:
_{though in chat you did say it was easier than MH so xD}

Edit: From the reviews I've read, this game sounds unforgiving D: Don't think I can be as greedy as I am with MH

It's easier, yes. You're still gonna die a lot (especially if you haven't played Demon's Souls).

It has a lock-on, which is both why the game is easier than MH, and more fun

_{lock-on would ruin MH, don't even go there dude}

@zez If you haven't played Demon Souls, I'd definitely start there, as the online servers might not be up for too much longer and you'll wan't to experience the game with them up, or you'll miss the true feel of the game. Not to mention that the game is really cheap too! Of course, then go immediately by Dark Souls!

As for the lock-on, it's not Zelda Z-targeting by any means, but the game would be near impossible without it. Once you play the game, you'll understand. It's very much in the same genre as Monster Hunter.

So I should start with Demon's Souls then? It is pretty cheap... But is there any other reason I should besides the servers closing soon? I've heard that Dark Souls is better and stuff so... I'm confused D:

_{I'm not worried about the lock-on in this game, I'm just concerned that waltz thinks MH needs it xP}

Edit: And am I the only one who despises those red Greatest Hits boxes? They're so... red D:

Sorry to be off topic, but I love my PS3 but I have some connection troubles with it.. alot.

So, does that mean you like Demon's better or am I reading that wrong? Only reason I'm asking is I went straight to Dark Souls and am loving the hell out of it. I'm seriously considering getting the first one sometime. :3

And yeah, it's VERY Monster Hunter-ish when it comes to its mechanics. I also think the difficulty is blown way, WAY out of proportion.

I definitely prefer Demon's Souls. It's a far darker, more intense game. And I personally thought it was the harder one.

The Souls series difficulty is above insanity to those who've grown up in this new era of game that babysit the gamers. No offense to anyone who's younger here, as I know many are, but if you enjoy Monster Hunter, then you'll be right on par in Demon Souls. Someone though who thinks Ratchet and Clank, Super Mario Galaxy(s), or pretty much 99% of games made today on Normal difficulties, are really hard, then they will be getting there butts handed to them on 24K Gold platter!

Regardless of which Souls game you start off with, you'll be doing yourself an injustice to not play both if you like either of them!

And, I'm off to play my new WayForward DS title Aliens: Infestation. I'm the only person to preorder it in my local game store and I'm dang proud to be one of the few who still cherish 2D gaming to the core!

Man, i almost want a PS3 just for Dark Souls lol D:

_{@zez nope. I hate the red boxes too. ....and the blue vita boxes >.>}

Hmmm, sounds like I'm gonna have to check out Dark Souls. Damn, with all these games coming out, it's gonna be hard to keep up.
