Dark Souls 2 March 2014

[QUOTE="Zeviander"][QUOTE="Davekeeh"]

Demon's Souls II please

BrunoBRS

Judging by the whole "Eliminating backtracking/warping from the start" it's far more likely to be more Dark than Demon's

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]

[QUOTE="meatgrinderz"]yea my laptop is kind of crap but it can run tons of new games just fine so I dunno what the deal with Dark Souls is. And no I'm not lying - a couple times a summon may fail or lose connection but the majority of times it doesnt. now dont accuse me of lying because you sound crusty. ¯\_()_/¯

meatgrinderz

Exactly, it fails when it shouldn't. That's a broken MP, and it's exactly like that on PC.

What are these new games you speak of?

isnt it only coming to ps3, 360, and PC? that seems really late to be released

Well you see, while i agree that dark souls is the more refined game, demon's had a flavor of its own. Something about the level design, art style and worldbuilding made demon's feel much more dreadful, oppressive and moody, and it gave a nice horror vibe to it. That's something dark souls is missing, and there are ups and downs about it. It's probably due to the core structure in the form of levels that it feels like that. I certainly wouldn't mind something more akin to demon's again, but without interfering with dark and how dark is structured.BrunoBRS

Gameplay balance is huge and Dark Souls easily has more balanced gameplay than Demon's Souls. Demon's Souls had two weapons which overpowered everything else by a huge amount. Dark Souls is fairly balanced, it still has its issues, but it's good enough to be passable in the PVP.

It's interesting, because while Dark Souls had the balance, the P2P connections ruin it and most MP games are lagfests full of back stab fishing and Demon's Souls has the connection power with dedicated servers, but most weapons are complete garbage compared to those couple of weapons which kill in one hit.

[QUOTE="BrunoBRS"]That's a pretty good date. Won't interfere with holiday expenses, and will be right around that time where there usually isn't much to get (or sales to worry about).seanmcloughlin

So PC version this time? :D

We should like totally fight each other 

[QUOTE="silversix_"]

[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"]

They said if they did it for next gen it wouldn't be out until 2016, so they kept it current gen only so they could release it sooner. 

seanmcloughlin

Why is it stupid? are people just gonna sell their PS3s as soon as they get a PS4. And by March I doubt the PS4 will even have anything worthwhile to play

Yeah I don't really like PvP either :P I just said it. But Co-op stuff would be sweet :D

Eh, I would play DS1 but I already got my phase of it recently and stopped playing again lol. You know how it comes and goes

Dumb date, next gen games are going to make this irrelevant.

There isn't an Xbox one or PS4 version?

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="meatgrinderz"]Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2, LA Noire, Portal 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Devil May Cry, etc.. - games such as those. 

meatgrinderz

[QUOTE="meatgrinderz"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Tomb Raider requires at least an Nvidia 8600 and Dark Souls requires at least a 9800 GTX+, so there's your problem. Your laptop has a weaker card than a 9800 GTX+, but a stronger card than the 8600.BrunoBRS

Game is a bad port from a company that has never ported to PC before. It may look graphically worse, but a lot of work comes into porting games onto different platforms.

Also, the game ran like shit on PS3 and 360; there was horrible framerates in both New Londo and Blighttown. I get none of that slowdown in the PC version, simply because I have a good enough computer and I'm running DSfix.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"]

Heil68

No, it's current gen only. 

If true then

I still need to beat Darksouls though

Easily a day one buy.

That would be perfect. Allows more time to have a good break from Dark Souls.

tubbyc

Says you. I bought Dark Souls during console launch. I've had a long enough break.

And that is just what we know now before E3. PS4 will have games worth playing in March 2014.

That is a great date. Fall 2013 is going to be exclusively GTA 5 for me. 

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

seanmcloughlin

It's ONLY coming to those platforms so far. They said it's not a next gen game at all

It's either current gen at 2014 or next gen at 2016

With PS4 and Xlfop One being so close to PC architecture why is port such a problem. I'm not buying PS3 games in 2014.

Just let me know the week it comes out so I can take it off work. Nothing is getting between me and this game.

Yeah I got it a long time ago too. For me yes I still would like more of a break, after going through Demon's and Dark 13 times each. Don't even want to get the expansion. But that's something you could get if you haven't already, and get the platinum trophy or all achievements if you haven't yet.

next gen version? campzor

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] Have you seen the preview? Everything in there was different from Dark Souls.seanmcloughlin

[QUOTE="silversix_"]what the faaaaak. are they like 3 working on the game-.- Like i don't care if it doesn't have true next gen visuals, just release the pc version maxed out (shouldn't be a problem) on ps4. How am i supposed to play this game on ps3 when ill be having a ps4 by then? kinda stupid

Enemies dropping on you when you're behind them and an enemy that throws giant axes you can deflect are not new things? :|

The game is still called Dark Souls, just with a II behind it. What did you expect?

Still playing more Dark Souls, and I still don't really want more Dark Souls. I want some changes or major additions. Just "more Dark Souls" would frankly be a little disappointing. jg4xchamp

2: Realy being more Dark Souls is enough for me to play it. I like how those games play. jg4xchamp

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"] Anyway actually watched it this time, I'm not seeing the "everything is different'...it's more Dark Souls. Nice presentation changes sure, but it's still more Dark Souls. Sans the Bow and Arrow stuff(moving and shooting, I'm gonna assume there will be more enemies built with that concept in mind) the other "improvements" I guess are I guess logical and some what predictable.More environmental hazards beyond status effects(as in the dragon head coming alive) and enemies reacting better to you getting behind them.

Still day oneing it, but otherwise it's more Dark Souls. Anyway new game plusing dark souls right now, might do another playthrough specifically for a PVP build for that tower in the DLC. Got some neat ideas.

Being condescending about it isn't helping your case, fyi. I asked you a question, and those are both new things, so don't use that "mightier than thou" attitude you're currently sporting.

You really haven't seen enough of the game to call anything out on it yet. You've seen no bosses, no PVP, nothing. There's also torches which we've barely seen and the talk of bosses coming out during the middle of levels(to stalk or what, we're not sure yet) instead of at the end.

 "Acting in a way that betrays a feeling of patronizing superiority." 

Now you wanna go back to focusing on the game? or do you wanna bitch and moan about my positing style? Because frankly you should get over it.

jg4xchamp

Hey, you denied it, so deal with the consequences. Stop b*tching about being called out on it if you're going to do it.

You wouldn't talk to anyone in person like that, would you?

This the equivalent to saying why buy a gaming PC when you can play the same games on PS3/360. The obvious answer is you will likely get a much better experience.
