Re: Currently Listening To Thread.

I have mostly been listening to 'the Hunter', the latest Mastodon album. I'm struggling with it, to be honest. They seem to have adopted a more easy listening style, akin to Muse in some places. There are a couple of seriously heavy and convoluted tracks which I like, but so fa the rest of the album...

Re: Dark Souls

is that how you're getting out? that's how i'm getting in. but like i say, i can't use the fire link shrine bonfire any more. it's stopped working. so if you could let me know how you're getting in to blight town that'd be great. my plan is to try find one of them bonfires you mentioned in blight t...

Re: Dark Souls

There are two campfires that I'm aware of in Blighttown, not including the secret one behind the spider boss. One Is on a concrete ledge halfway down, and one is at the bottom right, up against the wall, in a sewer outlet. Also, if you make your way along the wall further right, there is a big water...

Re: Dark Souls

But that _could_ be delberate. Stops most types of cheating mp achieves for example.... and makes you feel even lonlier! :D It most certainly is deliberate. Guys, re that pyromancy hand thing, whenever I use that I just set myself on fire. Am I pressing the wrong button or something? Do I fire it w...

Re: 3DS Discussion Thread

In case you haven't noticed already, there are some more free 3D vids up. First of all, there are some on the video player app: a Sky meerkat ad, a 4 min dress rehearsal for an orchestra and more magic tricks. Oh, and that stupid Oscar cartoon. Then there are a couple of new gameplay bids via the Ni...

Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventures (all formats)

Do you need to buy extra gear to get everything out of the game or is it for more minor things? I'm not sure I'd get it but there is a lack of character based platformers these days and if it is still good.. well this would be another present for a little relative that I'll find myself borrowing. I...

The Skylanders thread

Hi all. I haven't seen a topic for this yet, but thought I'd start one, seeing as I bought the starter pack on the 3DS. Although I can see this being a serious cash cow/marketing exercise, I'm quietly impressed by it all. As far as the game on the 3DS is concerned, it is a series of challenges rathe...

Re: Dark Souls

PS - was someone asking how to deal with those ghosts? Either get cursed in the sewers, or use transient curses. Then your weapons do damage. Be careful in that area though - the buggers gang up on you, floating through walls and floors and shit.

Re: Dark Souls

Hey maf, I apologise if anything I said came across as sly digs - definitely not intended! To answer the question of 'is the difficulty all that makes the game good', I'd say no. I very much like the ambience of the game, and find the level design very clever and pleasing. I also like the weapon and...

Re: Dark Souls

Z targeting? I'm unfamiliar with the term, but presume it's where you click down on a stick to highlight an enemy and are therefore able to circle around him? I didn't realise you could even do that in Demons Souls until not long after I started my second play through! I went through the entire thin...

Re: Dark Souls

Getting my arse handed to me everywhere I turn. Taurus Demon, Ghost bitches and skeletons. All pwning my arse. Grind the zombie folk in undead burg for a bit and level up. I found endurance and dexterity the key to the Taurus daemon, so I could roll past him to get to the ladder each time I dropped...

Re: Dark Souls

. the controls are jacked. which isn't the worst thing in the world, i'm getting used to the layout, but they are so unresponsive. hit the circle button and see how long until your dude actually jumps back. that's bad, man. especially when timing and deliberate movement is everything. it is hard to...

Re: Demon's Souls

Just starting playing this after buying it a good while back I have to admit I don't have a clue what the best strategy is or how I should go about it. Someone at work said 'It's awesome, you're really worried all the time in case you lose your souls' and 'I spent more time dead than alive' I've no...
