Dark Souls

[Grenoble 1st MRB]

This game is absolutely amazing and 100% more addictive than cocaine and thats about the best description i can give for it. Its a great time toilet and the game hardly gives you a goal and instead lets you explore and find it all yourself. The game is almost as unforgiving as EvE you make 1 fuck up and an npc will slip behind you and back stab you and you lose all your souls and have to start that section over again. The game has a great multilayer system, you write a summoning sign for aid or PVP and it will be answered by another online player who is at that location to see your sign but only if someone is actually there and interested in joining you. There is no pause function you set the controller down near an enemy you will come back and be at a bonfire with no souls id love to see more chosen undead raiders to adventure with

*Cough*

Controllers are the devices of the poor dirty half-breeds. I will wait for my joyous brethren of the PC elite to envelop that which is Dark Souls. Actually, I did purchase a used copy for cheap. I lent it to a friend and she hasn't forgiven me yet.

This is an amazing game. I owned and played both demon souls and dark souls.

The difficulty of the game just adds to it, and there is always a different style or way to play through it.

Good taste.

Well, good luck to them getting Microsoft on board with XBOX-Live multiplayer platform interoperability.

Microsoft are notorious arseholes about this sort of thing. XBOX live is something they control with an iron fist,

meaning that all the servers (game servers, content servers, etc) for almost everything on the XBOX are run

by Microsoft techs, and they don't let anyone else near them.

I think they did let some developers near it once, and it was a disaster for them, so they keep the system closed

up, which means no interop between XBOX and PC, or XBOX and PS3. Sony have no problems about this however,

and they love the idea of mixing PS3s with PCs.

This is actually why CCPs Dust 514 is only being developed for the PS3... they wanted to do PS3 and XBOX, but

there was absolutely no way that Microsoft were prepared to allow their consoles to connect to the external

Tranquility cluster (which is kinda the whole point of Dust), so it was squashed on the XBOX before it even began.

Which is one reason im a bit pissed with CCP and microsoft i feel CCP should have harassed microsoft about it and microsoft should get its head out of its massive asshole cus if sony can successfully do something right then i would assume microsoft can too... just look at what sony did to SWG and they can facilitate cross-platform play better than microsoft? i would have thought it to be the other way around all things considered. Most PC users use Windows all Xboxes are designed microsoft as well so shouldnt they have a better understanding of how to do it right? lol..

*Edit* this game should explain for my current absence from the pub at least XD been spending my little free time on darksouls lol

I agree, it would be nice to see CCP and Microsoft get together on this one.

I can't blame CCP for it; one small icelandic software developer wanting to release a niche mmo-fps game, doesn't have enough commercial pull to get Microsoft to change their policies.

Equally, I don't really blame Microsoft either; behind the scenes, we don't know exactly how XBOX LIVE works, and what specification it was designed to. There might be some implementation

details about LIVE which make it difficult to interop with other services (seems unlikely - I would have designed it so it can easily be made to work, and just switched off). It might aslo be that

interop could be easily made to work, but would have required Microsoft to put a team on it without making them any money... its not like Dust will be a massive $60 off-the-shelf blockbuster,

its going to be free to d/l. Risk vs reward, Dust doesn't really offer anything to Microsoft, which already has a shed load of other FPS games on LIVE.

I'm gonna have to check out this DarkSouls now. Looks quite good!
