It doesn't bother me, I say if people want that extra challenge have it. There are other games similar to Dark Souls out there with less frustration. I prefer less frustration hence why I avoided Demon Souls and Dark Souls, I'll be avoid Dark Souls 2. I rage enough as it is from "fun" games lol

I'll buy it without, in fact if it had MP, I'd probably be less interested.

Yeah it's not for everyone, I'm a similar way with FF, but I plan on trying the new free combat FF.

I can see how some people felt let down by AC3, but for me, I always felt like more of a badass in AC3 then I did in any other AC game, I love fluid gameplay and the story stepped up a little bit compared to Brotherhood, although Revelations had a pretty damn good ending. 2 definitely did really well in narrative and set the bar for the franchise there, but they didn't live up to that aspect in the following titles. And the gameplay in ACIV did get better, it still feels a bit reskinned at times but with everything going on in the game it's kind of hard to notice which isn't easy to pull off. lol

I unfortunately had to cancel my PS4 pre-order since PS4 doesn't let you record via capture devices, I also didn't want to wait xD I plan on getting it again on PS4 at somepoint, maybe I'll use that discount thing they give you.

Same, I pretty much knew I'd love the game within the first 30mins. It gets better and better too.

If it has collectibles then I pre-order but I've actually run out of room for more collectors items so I'll have to tone down my pre-orders, I actually got both the CE and DE of Batman Arkham Origins just for the statues, although the steal case actually felt pretty sturdy. I never pre-order a standard game.

Yeah, it was my fault lol I was kind of running around the ship instead of helping my crew fight haha

Bugger. Sounds like something that will need to be done closer to end game. Although I was surviving a fair bit by tailing it. Only reason it killed me was because I got beside it xD I've taken down royal ships though. And that was being barely upgraded, the hardest part is actually when you board those 1s. I lost half a crew of about 20-30 men trying to board 1.

I'm not getting PS4 on launch but my choices would be, Killzone Shadow Fall (I've been reading more and more about it and it gets more and more promising), UFC, Infamous second son and knack.

Nice! I only just got up to uhm the bit where Edward learns about the kid lol I also got into a battle with a legendary ship. Oh man, it's scary, they're massive and the fog makes it hard to see them. Needless to say, I lost the battle, it basically 1 hit me lol I need to upgrade the Jackdaw more.

so the 100hz would make up for it you think? Cause I'm currently using a T27A950 for my PC and it just struggles with consoles since it's a hybrid TV. The console image actually goes all fuzzy and it's barely playable. It's supposed to do 100hz but good old Samsung figured a way out of that 1, the bastards. When streaming through LAN the picture quality for TV shows is virtually lag-less, I love it for that reason alone. It's why I was contemplating the LG. But I want it to replace the T27.

Yeah, I can't wait to get into hunting whales and exploring the islands more. I have yet to experience underwater exploration as well but I'm interested in that, although a little worried about the sharks.
