I remember a quote from some guy a while back saying that in the future, all games will incorporate social networking somehow. And while that quote annoyed me when I read it, if all games did it like Dark Souls, I would be okay with that. Even being completely alone, every time I hear someone ring the tower bell, or…

Would have loved it if they had thrown a Demon's Souls character in there. Maybe you just see Yurt offing people in the background. Though I guess that would ruin the tone of the commercial.

Lol, I'm pretty sure if an Arrested Development reference had capped off this already awesome commercial, I would have fainted.

Oh man, that's brutal, lol.

That's awesome. I haven't had a chance to experiment with too many weapons yet, but I did try a long sword and winged spear so I assumed it was the same for all weapons. Can't wait to mess around though. This game is everything I wanted and more so far.

Cool commercial, but why didn't they just get Nolan North to stand in as the Nathan Drake? He looks enough like him and it would have been a cool touch.

Kick is Forward + R1 or Forward + whatever normal attack is on 360. Forward + R2/strong attack is a leaping attack, riskier but really cool looking. :)

Just lure him back to the cliff side near the steps and dodge until he jumps off.

I beat that game without ever having heard of it.

There's a miracle covenant guy right near the starting area.

I went through the same thing, it was infuriating.

Lol, when he says, "Don't try anything clever. You might regret it." I thought they must have beefed him up pretty decently to put any bold Demon's Souls vets in their place.

I played the first time through without a wiki and I'm glad I did. But yeah, every time after that, I consulted a wiki so I could get the most out of my weapons and character builds, etc. There's just way too much to figure out. It'd take forever if you were just using trial and error for everything. Also, there's…

Also, parrying is something you'll want to do rarely as the benefit of a successful parry and counter isn't worth the risk of missing and taking big damage. You'll want the dependability and consistency of a block most of the time. A lot of times when you're blocking an attack from an enemy that can be parried,…

Dude, just pull the skeletons in pairs and back track to the cliff by the steps and boot them off the edge, or wait for them to jump off. You can do that with the giant skeletons too. :)

We should just turn this whole article into a tip sharing thread!

I've got the Bladestone weapon too, so that's not a problem. I'm pretty busy the next couple of days but I will add you when I get a chance and we can work out a time. I'm not sure what level my characters are that have the weapons, in the 160-170 range if I remember correctly. And the level range for summoning as…

Is that the only weapon you have left in order to platinum? If so, I'd be happy to do a drop for ya. I drop the weapon, you pick it up for the trophy, get the trophy, and then give it back. I remember how long that particular stone took for me to farm so relieving someone of that burden would be a good deed in my…

Don't get your hopes up. We had a Madden tournament at our store which was set up and promoted pretty nicely...and one guy showed up. The prize was supposed to be a free copy of the game, but he almost got nothing. The head of electronics had to talk management into letting him give the guy a $10 gift card because…

Wal-Mart is absolutely awful when it comes to video games. I work there part time while going to school and often find myself wishing they'd create a video games specialist position so I could fix everything that's wrong.
