I agree. Walkthroughs and build advice dramatically cheapen the experience. The best part of the game is the immersive atmosphere, and the feeling of entering the unknown against great odds. That's kind of ruined if you know what to expect.

I agree, it's difficult, but in a relaxing sort of way (at least to me). Being successful is based on patience and thought, not frenetic button mashing or something.

I felt the same way. Absolutely loved Demon's Souls, but Dark Souls wasn't quite as good/fulfilling/engaging. But I'm still really excited for Dark Souls II, and just picked it up at Redbox. I got a PS4 too, so I kept my Xbox 360 around just for this game.

That's the reason I try not to read articles/comments on games I really like or am looking forward to. I don't want it to influence my thoughts on the game. When I played Demon's Souls a couple months after it first came out, I hadn't read hardly anything about it. All I knew was the it was an RPG that was supposed to…

Magic always makes it too easy. Magic is cheating. Mostly because I don't like magic, and always go for melee only.

Question for those of you who are playing already:

Am I the only one who thinks 20% is unrealistic (and maybe unwise)? For instance, the house we just bought was $227,500. So 20% would be $45k. That would have been about 4 years of all of our savings. With house prices on the rise, inflation, etc., how much would we really have saved by waiting that 4 years? By the…

Yup! To me, it's the prettiest stretch of interstate I've ever been on.

More scenic interstates? I don't mind driving in Colorado on the interstate, because it's so damn pretty.

I would totally do that! But there seem to be rules on what vehicles you're allowed to enter. As far as I can tell, there aren't any really "open" classes.

Interesting, thanks!

I don't think that's the only way to do it. Plus, if it were based on the Highlander it would kind of defeat the purpose.

I think that just means they need to update it, not cut it all together. It's been essentially unchanged for 8 years. The major problems with it are gas mileage and interior space. I think it just needs a redesign.

I agree with Wind Waker. It's clearly the best, because it's not dependent on increasingly powerful hardware. Graphics that look good solely based on the fact that they're cutting edge will look dated as soon as the "cutting edge" moves on.

You don't think people will miss the FJ Cruiser? It's a great SUV. If they get rid of that and the Xterra, there won't be much left for people who want an off road SUV. You'll be left with the Wrangler and (sort-of) the 4Runner.

Average can equal overweight (or fat). Just because it's average, doesn't mean it's healthy. So it's just a decision about whether you want to represent "normal" as average, or "normal" as a healthy/ideal weight.

I wish I could do that, but I can't right now. I used to work 4 9-hour days, and Friday was only 4 hours, that was nice.

I dunno, kind of the difference between MotoGP and Superbike/Supersport.

Meh, I paid a couple grand less than that for my much cooler and more useful Wagoneer.

"9-5"? Why does that expression exist? It's 8 to 5...
