    How Much Does Dark Souls 2 Go For on Steam Where You Are?

    Thanks for the info, might rustle up £6 for the Witcher 2 and try out the new combat mod....

    How Much Does Dark Souls 2 Go For on Steam Where You Are?

    I've just built my first pc and am trying to get my head around buying digital and all the places you can buy from. How can the places in your link sell so cheap?

    Arkham Origins First Impressions

    Really disappointed with it. Firstly it feels like AC reskinned. The city despite being an actual city - not a closed off prison - feels more lifeless than the previous game. Even if you accept the premise of it being Christmas Eve, Villains on the loose and a snowstorm, you would still...

    I find Skyrim kind of... boring.

    I felt the same about Skyrim as pretty much all Bethesda games. A huge beautiful world full of things to do...except most of it bored me to tears. A prime example of quantity over quality. Meh combat, the same character models, the same voice actors who deliver lines with as much enthusiasm...

    Is there a game that you were just determined to finish?

    I could almost have written the same thing word-for-word lol. I think I got a little fatigued at the TotG and Demon Ruins. By then the act of dying to bosses then having to grind past loads of enemies to even get back just made me quit as I couldn't justify the amount of time and...

    Assassin's creed 3 or Saints Row the third?

    Depends what you want. SRTT is a ludicrously OTT fun open world game, but has a lot of really shallow mission and side-missions (although that Kanye West moment is one of the most awesome in videogame history!)awful graphics and draw distance. AC3 is... I'm honestly not sure how to...

    Too Much Hate. Too Much Drama.

    I'll take an overwhelmingly negative forum over a complacent happy-clappy place any day. If you want a place to see a gaming world where everything is peachy simply head over to Ign any of the their similar flash-ad brethren where they will validate the pure awesomeness of gaming.

    Why can't we have both?

    You, Sir speak too much sense! Be gone with you! Although I think the gaming community is arguably as united as it's ever been. PC, PS4, Wii U, Handheld fans all united in hatred for the Xbone.

    So Dark Souls,is there anything else like it? (Besides Demon Souls.)

    The Witcher 2. Although it's not exactly the same, the combat is challenging, the enemies don't politely wait their turn to attack you like in most modern games, and you can't cancel your attacks once you've committed so you have to think about your attacks or you'll get destroyed.

    Bad Games That Should See Sequels

    Although I wouldn't say it's a 'bad' game, LA Noire was a huge disappointment. Such a cool setting and concept, but let down by deceptively shallow gameplay and few options to actually use your brain. A sequel with more scope for player agency and making decisions would be amazing.

    That moment that killed the game.

    Hitman Absolution. On the Hotel level, I made my way to the lift to make it up to the upper floors; I got no option of which floor I wanted, when I reached the top, 47 had magically transformed from the disguise I'd acquired to something different, my weapons I'd picked up had disappeared, and...

    Poll: Why do people like Halo so much?

    I liked Halo, well loved the first one actually. At the time it felt to me like it had moved the FPS onward a bit. I loved how open some of the levels were. Then came Halo 2 and..well, dual-wielding came in and it felt a bit less nuanced and yet strangely stale at the same time, and it just...

    So, why do people like the Uncharted games so much?

    I can't stand Uncharted, as i hate linear, cinematic, press 'x' to win games, and Drake is just so obnoxious. But I can understand why people love them.

    State of Decay also banned in Aus.

    Poor Aussies, and they don't even have a decent cricket team to ease their pain.

    WTH at all the X1 hate?

    I wont rehash the litany of reasons people hated the Xbone but you ask the question, 'Did literally NO ONE see the benefits of an always online console?' And this is exactly the point: Microsoft didn't show us any benefits! They showed us TV, Sports, COD Dog, and tried to shove a multitude...
