Portal 2, but that will be mine, iminently. Damn you Dark Souls. Damn me...................

From an Irish/ pseudo U.K. perspective...people hate gobshites. I mean, if my home town of 20 odd thousand was in the middle of america, I guess that I would have the same perspectives on life. Similarly, if I was born a few miles down the road to the west, you know, I may be a raving xenophobe...

This...though as an impressionable teenager, Lara Croft did make intelligence sexy, as As Oceans suggested. I mean, Wander? FFS? I mean in acceptance of this, really? I love gaming

I have unquestioning faith in the competency and vision of our beloved game designers, without whom this forum would cease to exist (indeed would never have existed in the first place). Who am I kidding......actually, I'm not sufficiently fanboyed up to demand anything. TBH, the only games that...

Yeah, I tend to avoid those games that seem destined to raise my ire. That being said, I basically had to weld my hands to my controller to struggle through Bioshock 2, though that was more dissappointing than abysmal. Tunnel B1 was almost unplayable back when I first got seriously into gaming...

I think that this largely reflects my own views on the subject. I may being all quaint and gentile and what have you, but the idea of participating in a rape, virtual or otherwise, is anathema to me. The idea of entering a series of commands that would allow me to do so sickens me. How do you...

Oh Mummy on the ZX Spectrum . That was about 25 years ago. Sweet Jeebus.

I generally find that waiting until a little closer than 5 months from a game's release date enables me to develop a more balanced and nuanced opinion of its' merits. This also enables me to decide whether or not to pre-order said game, or, heaven forbid, wait a couple of weeks until copies are...

I haven't read through the entire thread before posting this. This seems like the kinda straw man that you were seeking. Immolate me.

I don't think there is one in my tiny home town in Norn Iron (banbridge) . Even if there was, it's so close to the weekend that another day or two will make no difference. I totally understand that some peeps have booked days off to play, but I can wait for a bit before satiating my desires...

My default class is a magesword. Your class seems pretty good, though given my newly found reluctance to check wikis and guides prior to playing a game, will now choose something totally left field ;p Although...dark elf. Always.

It's true: hearing of others' tales of woe definitely helps to lessen your own pain! The Iron Giant robbed me of 30000+ souls and 5 humanity, simply due to my complacency. AND NOT DOUBLE HANDING MY LIGHTNING SPEAR! Best tip for bosses that I've adopted. The fact that there are so many diverse...

Many thanks. I grew weary of the one hit kills (following the initial fall). Dark souls rewards patience and perseverence, but this does not lessen its inherent tendency to madden (hail mary?)

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD Apologies, I am clueless as masking the spoiler. Any brief guides would be much appreciated ( I am willing to look like a tool). Anyway...the stray demon. Fairly minor spoiler if you don;t...
