    No chance i want to play this in beta. Will happily wait till it's released properly, rather than having parts of it spoiled while not finished.

    1st game should be reasonably priced now, well worth picking it up.

    It's pretty much the best and most important game of this generation of consoles. And it's better on PC :P

    You'd be surprised how many people I've mentioned Dark Souls to and they look at me as if I've two heads.

    There were two guys playing Monster Hunter against each other in the Harbour Bar a week or two ago. I was certain they'd have played it so asked them what they thought of it.

    Absolutely no clue what I was on about. One of them even said that because it wasn't on a Nintendo console he wouldn't be interested in it.

    Felt like bopping him over the head with the SNK control panel I happened to be carrying under my arm :D

    Well the asynchronous multiplayer that Demon's/Dark Souls introduced will be the next big thing in the next gen. I see it in Watchdogs already. Unfortunately most are looking at it as DRM for single player games.

    Black Armour Edition available for pre-order for less than £35. Sounds like a good deal to me :)

    Shame you have to pay for the figurine in the Collector's Edition as all I'd want is the artbook and ST£62 is too rich for my blood.

    I have no space for figurine in my room anyway (all the ones I got as gifts are stored away under my bed -_-). I would like that cloth map though, would be nice to get that on my wall and nerd out while I'm real into the game. Good to see the full collector's edition is now available for PC because for a while they were only advertising it on the consoles' releases.

    Would it be suicidal to jump straight into Dark souls 2?:D having not played the first?

    Play the first, you know yourself it is a great game, you would be missing out on a lot of pain and torture otherwise, very rewarding pain and torture I might add.

    play the first, you wont miss out on anything story wise, but the first one is brilliant, by far one of my favourite games, and I don't normally say that with games this gen. True work of genius to the team(s) that made all of the souls games so far

    Just replaying some Dark Souls now and I forgot how low the framerate can go and I'm not even in Blighttown yet.

    As I said in the Eurogamer Expo thread.. if they can maintain the visuals and framerate of the Dark Souls 2 demo I played on ps3 it'll be amazing.

    You'd get the first for a pittance and it's one of the best games of this generation. Make sure you get the version with the DLC included.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.

    I wanted to beat the Mirror Knight so badly, and really did come close. I reckon 10 more minutes and I would have had him. :o

    I also thought about pre-ordering, but not sure what game would be like for delivery from UK to here.

    Ya I know. I wish I didn't mess around so much in the beginning and legged it straight to the fight. Got close enough too but his attacks were so strong that 1 or 2 (usually 1) direct hits and you were gone.

    You would be very silly considering the original is half the price or less and is without a doubt the best game of this gen (imo of course but a lot of people would agree).




    Kotaku have posted some videos of Beta footage as it's gone live in Japan, more of the same but you can get a look at the new inventory system and stuff.
