Yeah, I was never a fan of FFXIII's battle system. They should have done what FFX and X-2 did in my opinion. But just with the battle system. The Charlie's Angels style was awful. #4.1.2

What I hate about reviews of Dark Souls is that people will take the liberty of marking it down for being too hard. It's not too hard. If you think it is, go back and play some NES games and find out what hard really is. Gamers and reviewers have become too complacent and too used to how easy gaming is this gen. Dark Souls shouldn't be marked down because it's too hard, and it shouldn't be marked down because its story revolves around you and not around all manner of other cha... #1

FFXIII wasn't a good game at all. Why would you say it was? Maybe it was good to you, but that's different. The majority believes otherwise. #4.1

You're forgetting the way memory is allocated in the PS3 is different from the 360, you're also forgetting that the PS3 has more multimedia features than the 360. There's all kinds of reasons why it isn't just about 50MB of RAM for the OS. It's also likely that MS has a specific patent on the way they do XGC which forces Sony to find another way. The truth is that we don't know everything, but to suggest that it's just because Sony is lazy and doesn't want to a... #2.1.2

Why would you need a second mic for someone who is in the room with you? That would only matter for people who are playing online with you who aren't there with you. If you can't hear someone sitting right next to you, you need a doctor. Or am I misunderstanding your request? #8.1

Oh yes, because Sony hasn't ever listened to what the fans want and (for reasons that are beyond the ken of mankind) fans have NEVER repeatedly asked for Cross Game Chat. It's not the most requested feature on Playstation Share Blog at all. /s

Troll somewhere else. #2.1

Well, using my last bubble but I'll read any reply.

I think that what you said is semi-accurate but only because devs aren't pushing themselves to make other genres have that competition that multiplayer shooters have. A lot of games that would be perfect for it instead opt for co-op instead. I'll give you an example.

One of my favorite "asian styled" games is the Dynasty Warriors series. The latest installment, DW7, has online co-op don... #6.1.1

You couldn't be more incorrect. He's talking about guns being a central focus in a game, not simply being included at some point in the game. A scene where a guy uses a gun is not the same to a game where the core gameplay is shooting. The western market thrives on shooter gameplay, that's the point here. And as to who keeps asking his opinion about stuff, just read the name of the people interviewing him to get your answer. #8.1

How the hell is an indie dev supposed to reach even 1/4 of the quality of a fully developed and funded console game? Most indie devs are, at most, 2 man teams coding games on their home computers, taking years of their lives to make levels that full developers pick out of their a$$es in a month.

You're talking about people who fund these games out of their own pockets versus company money here.

The ONLY way an indie dev even stands a chance of competing i... #3.1

Blame the masses who buy nothing but shooters. If the stigma of "gun toting rednecks" is to be overcome, then games WITHOUT heavy reliance on guns will have to do better in the sales market. The reason devs make shooters is because it's easy money. You don't have to bother with a deep story, you don't have to bother with deep character development, you barely even have to have a single player campaign. All you need is guns, guns, guns and multiplayer maps. Hell, this is... #6

The problem I have with the "fix it myself" method is that the YLOD is not a specific problem like the RROD. The yellow light is simply an indication that something is wrong with the PS3. The true fix would only occur after you figure out the true problem and repair that. Often times, if it's the thermal paste issue, fixing it yourself in conjunction with regular cleanings and placing it in a cool well-ventilated area is all you need. It all depends on the real problem and how b... #6

Of course game guides have been around longer this gen, but this gen is one where they shouldn't be needed because games are so damn easy thanks to that damn "accessibility" trend. What I'm saying is that a game like Dark Souls comes around that completely changes everything and people are too used to easy so they NEED guides instead of just trying to get better by themselves. #1.1.2

Sweet merciful crap there are some MEGA trolls here. It's like they called a meeting or something.

On topic: I actually don't think there is ANY piracy on the PS3. I seem to recall that the only "piracy" that is now possible is PS1 game piracy. Lol. In that you can play pirated PS1 games on the PS3, which I seem to recall has been blocked now.

So what piracy? #16

@PirateThom: LMAO! +Bubs for truth and hilarity. #4.2.2

Some people can't handle a challenge because they started gaming this gen where everything has to be "accessible" thanks to Nintendo. #1.1

Strategy guides? Only wimps will play this game using a strategy guide. EXCEPT when you use the official wiki site for build suggestions and other stuff that doesn't diminish the challenge of the game like where to get rare drops and such. I mean, if someone played the game through enough to find out that if you kill X enemy while the sun hits a tree at the right angle during dusk you'll get a rare stone, who am I to ignore that he chose to post that up where people could see it? Lol. #2

I would say, with complete conviction, that From Software and Demon's/Dark Souls are exactly what this gen needed. They breathed new life into the stagnation brought about by the shooter genre and the reliance on graphics before substance. It is for that reason so many love Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

I can't wait to have my ass handed to me by this game, and to then proceed to make it my b*tch once I learn its tricks. #1.1.9

@ABizzle1: It has a better story than this piece of trash DmC has. Emo Dante Antoniades rebelling against "teh man" and being half-demon/half-angel is proof enough that this game is trash. Crapcom working with them has proven nothing, as the combat is WORSE now than it ever was before. You got an ugly character modeled after the lead developer, a disjointed and senseless story that has NOTHING to do with the DMC universe yet is trying to cash in on the name, and a butchered combat s... #9.1.5

Sounds like the problem is on your end, because I've had no problems with PSN for quite awhile now. #1.3.1

@badjournalism: your name, coupled with your comment, makes it epic. Seriously. +Bubs just because. #1.2.3
