I quite like Overlord too.

anyone know where i could buy the hobbit for pc for cheap?

All the mission dlc is a must if youre a ME fan

If I had coupon I probably would have gotten TSW. It no longer has a monthly fee btw.


I'm guessing there are no other cheap ways to get a coupon currently?

Now I wish I would have purchased something in December, I would have liked to get the walking dead

TSW is a 15GB download. It takes 37 GB of disk space.

Coupons were given for Amazon DVG purchases 16 Nov to 31 Dec.

Could you please try editing your previous posts to include your new posts? I'm not trying to be nitpicky, but you constantly double post.

All these people talking about getting TSW and free content. Is the game even that active anymore? I had a lot of interest in it but haven't heard any rumblings about it lately until this thread.

I take it those who had the game by today got some free content?

Yea, the people who announced earlier that they got it. But remember they are out of Europe primarily so there may be timezone differences.

I've played since they announced B2P and the game is constantly filled with people. Will it hold people after a couple of weeks when people are maxed? Who knows. But it's B2P so I play it at my leisure. I squeeze games in or not whenever it's convenient. Best part, if I'm bored, I can hope in 10 months from now and still be around....

Usually there's somewhat of a shortcut but it can still be a pain. Also, if you play the game "blind" (no wiki or guide) it can become very frustrating since you can easily waste souls on useless stats and some key items are very difficult to find on your own. For example, there is no way to know which weapon to level up to use a Boss soul without checking a guide or wasting materials. I do love the game and I'm not saying they should hand us everything on a platter in DS2 but a little more clarification/direction regarding certain game mechanics would be appreciated.

I think this is EXACTLY what they are trying to do in DS2. Because it is one of the most unneccessarily frustrating things in DS. Seriously it's annoying.


Also: I hate that EA didn't include ALL DLC for every game in the trilogy. It takes the Trilogy bundle from being a MUST BUY , into , Seriously ? This is a waste of ing time.

In other words, you guys want the game dumbed down into oblivion so you don't have to work your way thru it.

At this rate DS2 is going to be but a pale shadow of the original.

So sad.

No, I want the game to be less poorly designed in EXPLAINING THE GOD DAMN GAME MECHANICS.



You can work around it, but that doesn't stop it from being poor design.

What is so wrong with a Mega Man X style intro section that introduces you to all the game mechanics in a way that isn't a terrible tutorial? Or an in game encyclopedia that actually EXPLAINS shit?

And ing seriously, since when does "Hard game=good game"?
Let alone one that explains how anything works = dumbed down?


You want a real example of Dumbed down look at Crysis 2 multiplayer compared to Crysis 3 Mulitplayer. THAT is dumbed down, instead of doing what I hope DS2 does; actually explain shit to people so they understand; they just took energy management(Which is what really took skill and separated the good players from the bad in C2) and dumbed it to be non existent down because noob players couldn't jump in the game and do well because they didn't know what the to do. They think the player base died because of this. Which is moronic at best. It died off because they took a broken game and broke it more with balance changes trying to listen to the people who didn't understand the game mechanics instead of fixing what was broken with it. And that's partly their fault because the game and it's manual has next to no information on how integral game mechanics worked in MP.


Asking for information to explain game mechanics =dumbed down and not =actually useful information for everyone? Yeah that TOTALLY MAKES SENSE.

... sometimes there are people that just don't get it ...

It's COOL not to get it... but just understand that you don't get it and you don't like it and move on.

No need to yell to get your point across, people will listen to you better that way.

The deal here is this, if you have to discover the game mechanics by yourself, wasting some in-game resources in the way in a first run, perhaps you will be wanting to have a second because now you know a more efficient way to do things, and then maybe a third, and due to the sheer amount of character combinations, possibly more.

This poses a problem for some people, they suffer from ADD

Attention Deficit Disorder

They want the game beaten, right now, right this moment, so they can move onto the next thing. That is all there is to it. Example, when this guy says:

Killbomb The worst part about dying in Dark Souls to me is trudging back through enemies you've already beaten to try to get back to a boss.

You can see it, right there. How are you going to grind for level and resources to make your character strong if the enemies disappear so you can have a red carpet all the way to the boss??

That is the problem with modern gamers, they can't endure a game anymore.

EDIT.
Missed this bit

And ing seriously, since when does "Hard game=good game"?

Since the time when working to achieve something brought you satisfaction?? Regardless of how involved you are in the instant gratification culture, this applies to every aspect in life, but pertaining to games. first question would be, do you even remember that age of gaming??

yeah dude. I know the feeling I was going to buy today.I thought deal was supposed to last until 6th January. I even bought a controller just for this game. Now the deal is gone.
TONY any chance Dark souls coming back.

I dont even know what DS2 is and why this is in Amazon PCDD tbh

It seems that there are 3 things people should never argue about. Religion, Politics and Dark Souls.

For some reason everyone is either:

OMG IT'S THE BEST GAME EVER AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO YOU SUCK!!!

or

OMG IT'S THE WORST GAME EVER AND IF YOU DON'T THINK SO YOU SUCK!!!

about that game.

Somebody suggested to Tony about having two different threads, one for on topic matters, Amazon deals, and one for out of topic matters, community discussion.

He said it was impossible, but it surely would be nice.
