Demon's Souls was harder, but only because it was everybody's first time around, there was less information readily available at launch (Drake's Sword is a good example), and because the levels were still horrible to get through, even with shortcuts.

While I certainly used a bow on several occasions, I just couldn't handle the idea of having to shoot those things over and over, from a distance, every time I wanted to enter the area.

I'm waiting for the re-design. I'm also willing to bet there are many more just like me, who are still content with their normal DS for the time being.

Okay, so imagine you have to get through a giant field of magma to get from point A to point B.

Oh man, cant wait to hear what he has to say about Lost Izalith (when accessed without its mystical shortcut).

"You'll ge the exclusive in-game mount, Tyrael's charger"

You're right in being careful about saying "aggressively pushed into borrowing money" because, let's be clear, they never held a gun to anyones head (as far as I am aware).

I guess I understand the sentiment, but they might as well just save 10's for that and not just throw they at every good game that comes along. An 11/10, or 6/5, opens up a precedent for exceeding supposed perfection.

Do you read Edge? Minus the late GMR, which was a beautifully crafted magazine, Europe tends to be where all the well-designed game magazines are made.

Responding to approve and promote

Just for the record, and I know all of you here know this, but no matter how much you love a game, giving it an impossible score just makes you look like someone who should not be reviewing videogames in the first place.

Its scary seeing how much of a say corporate interest has in coverage of the "Occupy" movement. We're talking something that most mainstream news sources refused to cover in its infancy, and then basically had to when it became obvious they weren't.

Different strokes for different folks.

Thats actually pretty solid. I should probably give the album a listen.

This is just an opinion, but why are some of the same people who are against online passes okay with paying a yearly subscription for xbox live?

The sequel to the other most overrated game this past decade :D

I took a long break because I was getting annoyed (not frustrated).

I'm actually really excited for several of the games, especially Gravity Daze, since I found out its basically Team Silent working on it.

I can guarantee you that the entire team working on it has been putting their blood, sweat and tears into making this as good as possible, as quickly as possible.

Multiplayer was so poorly implemented in Dark Souls, its really one of my only complaints. I can understand trying to keep people from playing with people they know, that makes sense, but trying to keep people from playing with anyone is a little extreme, and I hope to god its because Namco cheaped out and wouldnt put…
