Okay that's it. **** this game Dark Souls. It's the hardest game every made and completely unplayable. I've spent 3 days trying to get to the next checkpoint. I've been playing the same 10 minutes of gameplay over and over, hundreds of times, over the series of at least 8 hours. I cannot beat the first ****ing checkpoint. I've read every strategy guide and watched every youtube video. Do not buy this game, it is tedious and not fun. This could have been such a great game but it's ultra-high difficulty level makes it unplayable.

I've been gaming for 20 years, I am a hardcore RPG fan, and I can't get past the first level. Who the **** is this game made for?

To the developers: **** you.

Everyone should be playing Gears of War 3. Game of the year!

I've been replaying the first two lately as a refresher for when i pick up the third. Despite the cheesiness the dialogue can have at times, i almost forgot how much i enjoyed the franchise.

The first game i played on the original Xbox was Halo Combat Evolved which left a life long impression on me.

Gears of War was the first game i played on the 360 and left a similar impression.

The third is such much better. Dedicated hosts for multiplayer makes it more fair, and not just a super host running around shotgunning everybody.

I'm generally more into single player, although the Gears multiplayer is on of the few i actually enjoyed. Seemed to have 'better' people. Other games when i was trying to get into online i'd get targeted as a quick easy kill as i had nowhere the amount of time most others had put into the game. With Gears though a couple times i found people that would try and help me get better which was a refreshing change.

Oh yeah. Gears 3 is badass. The story is so much better. Better dialogue, more emotion, it's gets you man.

Leisure Suit Larry coming in HD next year

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards returns in HD for the series' 25th anniversary in Q4 2012. This will be the second update of the bawdy 1987 Sierra adventure game classic, which went from 16-color EGA art and a keyboard interface to stunning VGA graphics and mouse controls in 1991.

EGM reports the update will be handled by Replay Games, with the assistance and blessing of series creator Al Lowe -- something that the most recent entries in the series didn't have. The game is planned for almost every PC, console and mobile digital distribution platform.

"I'm overjoyed to see Larry released from his digital dungeon after all this time, and be placed in the hands of someone who understands him and wants to see him, brought back to the forefront by people who love him and understand him," Lowe told EGM.

If successful, Replay Games plans to keep on doing the HD updates, and doing them well, working its way through the series' original seven installments (Leisure Suite Larry 4: The Missing Floppies will remain missing). Replay is also planning on new adventures for Larry Laffer in the internet age.

Okay, after nearly 5 days and hours upon hours of dissapointment, I have finaly gotten good at Dark Souls, and think it's a great game. Way too hard (especially for new players due to lack of tutorial) but it is at least playable once you learn all the the little intricacies. It's very tedious but when you eventually beat the rediculous bosses etc it is kind of satisfying.

I'm still on the 3rd checkpoint in the first level after a week though. I'll still be trying to beat this when Skyrim comes out for sure.

SKYRIM!!! So soon. 11.11.11 Cannot come fast enough. Preorder. Old. Paid off. Desperately waiting. Currently, I'm playing Dead Island. My gamertag (yea I'm on 360) is threecommas. Hit me up! Cuz once Skyrim hits, I disappear for the winter. Gone. Off. The. Map. OH BTW, in strange news, did you hear that it's gonna fit on ONE DVD for XBOX? WTF? How did they pull off this magic? I know they have the newer disc format, XGD3 or whatever, gives another gig of space, but still... with all these multiple disc games, and given the purported size of this game, I can't fathom. I hope it's not dumbed down for us, texture wise. LOL I'm so OCD with this shit. No disc swapping is cool, I guess... but I don't mind it if I don't have to give up any of the experience. My gaming "wall", and my rig. Yea that's a record player on the bottom shelf. Vinyl love! I buy all my new albums vinyl if available, first choice.

11 days to 11/11/11. Wonder how fast piratebay starts working...

[sgreger1]

SKyriiiiiiiiiiiiiim!

Anyways I have been playing Dark Souls every day since I got it. It was a STEEP learning curve and almost impossible to get past the first few levels, but eventually you get the hang of it and it is now probably my 3rd favorite game of all time. Such a LOOONG game, and although very hard it is rewarding when you finally make progress. It's sort of a throwback to older dungeon crawlers. You have to go slowly and use strategy, going in and brute forcing just won't work. For those hardcore gamers amongst us who are really into dungeoncrawlers/rpg's, I would recommend this for a good challenge. If you don't have a lot of time to dump into it (i.e. dying 30 times before getting anywhere, then getting somewhere and dying another 30 times), than I wouldn't recommend this game for you. It takes a lot of time, hundreds of hours easily. It's extremely deep and takes multiple playthroughs to see everything.
