I got to this part really early in the game, and I didn't know that there was a lamp at the top of the stairs, so I ended up farming the pigs until I figured out how to deal with the death dealers easily, than I killed a bunch of them and took out the boss after a few tries. That Darkbeast paarl was easily one of the hardest bosses in the game for me. At least with the hunter's axe. Later killed him easily in chalice dungeon with ludwig's holy blade.
@Superstick I've played the rest of the souls games, and out of all of them, this one by far has the easiest set of trophies. The others all have a bunch of collect all these items and learn all these gestures and spells and so on, and with the small amount of collectables in this game and lack of spells, it's not all that difficult. At this point the only trophies i'm missing are the two normal endings (already did the "true" ending) and a couple of chalice ones. It probably helps that i've had time to put in at least 40 hours into the game since getting it.
I'd agree with the whole cheap and ruin things part, if not for the fact that all the stats have relatively low soft caps.. so even if you're getting like say level 1000 and invest all your points in endurance, you'll only be like 10 points higher than someone level 100 who put all their points in stamina. If even that much.
So i'm not too worried, especially considering that NO ONE SHALL SURVIVE SEEING MY LUDWIG'S HOLY BLADE!
Muahahahahaha
I've nearly platinum-ed bloodborne by now so I'll probably pick this up. Running into the problem of not having enough storage though.. May have to get that 2tb hard drive since 500gb is not enough.
Just saying, some of my favorite games so far have been f2p. Most notably warframe on ps4. I've spent over $200 on that game as well as probably 250 hours. You can't just assign a $60 price tag to games that are being constantly updated. I figure that if I can play a game for over 100 hours and not be tired of it yet, than it deserves my money.
Just saying.. he was only trying to glitch to level faster. Maybe if the leveling in Destiny wasn't so incredibly dull and tiresome this wouldn't have happened. Wink Wink Nudge Nudge Bungie give us moar xp! I swear if I have to re-level all my exotics again when house of wolves comes out then Bungie is never getting any of my money again. At least not for Destiny.
I think they were just saving the exciting stuff for another time. Makes sense that they wouldn't want to spoil all of the attacks Noctis can do and the behemoth fight
I feel like i'm the only one more excited for type-0 than for XV... Can't really explain why, maybe it's the fact that you're leading an army.. I have no idea why it's not coming to ps vita though, it seems like something that would be perfect for it.
By far one of the best games i've ever played on consoles. Easily the most memorable video game soundtrack for me as well. I loved MGR and all I can hope for is that the music in this game is on par with that of the last one. #Jamie Christopherson
I think the size of the world should directly correspond to the amount of detail and lore that the developers can place into it. I think the infamous games and From Software's Souls series got it right. I figure that as long as I actively want to explore the area wholly at least once, then it's done right.
For me I'd say, beating Jetstream Sam in Metal Gear Rising on Revengeance difficulty after taking no damage in less than a minute. It still didn't give me a bloody S rating, but whatever.. I was just glad I could stop restarting that level after 5 hours of trying. Likewise for the last boss in the game.. Seriously that soundtrack was the only thing keeping me going. So awesome.
Also the time I won against 3 red phantoms at once in Dark Souls 2.
I purchased the game barely a week ago. God dammit if another one is announced so soon that would be so annoying. Sure it's fun and totally worth the money, but man at least let me finish it first
Not that I don't think Halo will be good for the xbone, but i'm fairly confident that it wont be enough to pull ahead of PS4 for the year, or even half of it. The other exclusives offered by microsoft so far haven't exactly impressed the public.. cough titan fall, sunset overdrive cough. And most of the ones announced at E3 haven't even released yet. Thinking about it now, most of the new IP's this year for both consoles have been really disappointing. That's probably going to turn off a lot of developers from making new AAA games in the future. #2015
@PSIN4MANT I think the point is that players can put that time and effort into a game more rewarding instead of a game that forces players to limit their own progress to get ahead. Aren't games supposed to be fun? Whose fault is it when players aren't having fun? The players, or the developers?
So let me get this straight.. xboners are paying the same $20 price as ps4 players, and they're missing (for now) a strike ? I assumed they were just missing The Dust Palace.. So we can assume that they're gonna miss a third strike in the next dlc as well then. Damn. Dat's cold Sony..
I played a bit of the game last night till 2am and it worked fine for me. Aside from an issue where I couldn't swap characters in online and had to reopen the application, it worked great. Haven't played since like March so it's nice to see all my stuff intact. Also the new music is a very welcome addition.
I don't know why everyone frowns upon Dragon Age 2.. Honestly that was one of my favorite games in a while. Sure the maps sucked and there were some notable bugs, but the character development and story in that game were top-notch!
I got an email for the alpha tests too . Too bad I missed out on the first one yesterday. Only got like 20 minutes of play in. From what I saw though, it's super cool. Gameplay and controls are smoother than ever and for once in the series I feel like the animations are actually realistic (and awesome). Excited for full release.
@Holydiver85 Raids are just one part of the game. Besides, i'm pretty confident that Bungie is gonna put in matchmaking for it anyway at some point. Maybe it'll be a day one patch, or maybe it'll come in the month after release. Either way it's not a deal breaker for me, seeing as how I have friends willing to play this game with me.
Absolutely not. Considering the only two games in the near future i'd play from the list are battlefield and dragon age, and I don't even like battlefield.. Yeah i'm better off buying my game(s) than supporting another subscription. I can definitely see other companies taking part in the subscription bandwagon, so hopefully sony's refusal puts an end to that before it's even begun.
@adf86 Steven Isbell (LittleBigPlanet Community Manager): "LittleBigPlanet HUB and LittleBigPlanet 3 are two very different things. For the time-being though, we’re really focusing all of our efforts in bringing LittleBigPlanet 3 to the PlayStation 4!"
@wunsen While you probably could've worded that a lot better, I do agree with what you said. Personally I think the bosses are too easy after beating them a dozen times throughout the alpha and beta. Even the enemies leading up to the bosses have gotten nerfed since the alpha, as I can easily finish a strike alone without dying at this point. Although I can agree with every single point that sammy made, I don't think that they are meant to be so focused. Bungie has stated before that they want the end-game to be the primary focus for Destiny. We haven't even seen any raids yet or the other pvp modes, so there is no reason to cancel pre-orders off of what we've seen alone. Plus i'm expecting holiday updates, so i'm curious as to how they'll do those...
I'm just counting the days until the technology in Sword Art Online becomes real. With stuff like MUSE coming out lately it doesn't seem too far off. Possibly even within the next decade we might see true virtual reality.
Personally I love my awoken huntress. Even playing the same content again with the same character as from alpha, I immensely enjoy playing the hunter because it seems almost like a "hard mode" for the game especially when playing alone on difficult missions. I'm not saying the other classes are better, just that playing Hunter seems to be for more advanced players. The way I play is reminiscent of the MGS games.. cuz i'm all tactical n' stuff.
I highly doubt that DSII will come to PS4. I get the feeling that it probably would've been announced by now, not to mention that Bloodborne is coming soon anyway. Playing DSII with a Dualshock 4 is pretty awesome though.
Resogun was my first ever platinum, after having my ps3 for like 4 years... it's kinda sad.. Proud to say I got 100% on Mass Effect 2 on the 360 though.
I got bored with this game about 3 days after it launched on ps3.. It was a huge waste of money since I had almost a whole month left from the free 30 days that came with the game. It looks a lot better now though so I might have to give it another try.
From the video this seems like something that would be a mod to another game rather than a stand-alone title. The red blast when you die seems like it would be pretty annoying since it makes it impossible to see past it for a few seconds, but some of the maps with the tall buildings seem like they would be fun to play on. Gonna need a lot more info on this before buying. If it's like 20$ though on psn i'll get it day one.
I suppose. In the end though, people with more free time or just impatient generally just want to play the game no matter what state it's in. I'd say that this depends on the quality of the games and reliability of the devs so that we don't have any problems..
@Swiket #ShotsFired But yeah I think this is a good idea. As long as they put up a VERY LARGE notification somewhere on the buy page for the game, saying "This game is currently in [insert development stage here] and may have bugs and/or issues and possibly never leave this development stage.", or something along those lines.
