dwarf Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Yes at SotC. That's the one game I feel like I missed from last gen. I still have Demon's Souls on disc from when I imported it, it was such a joy to play when everyone was getting to grips with the online mode and little was known about the core mechanics and mysteries. It actually felt like a privilege to own because it wasn't released for some time in the UK and very few were talking about it. Didn't they take down the servers though? If you enjoyed Dark Souls you should obviously give it a try. I think I prefer it to Dark Souls because the hub works really well and it's a more manageable length (LUL). It has a disappointing 'final boss' but the environments are more intimate and sinister. Edited May 8, 2013 by dwarf
Sheikah Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 YES, finally Shadow of the Colossus on Plus! Demon Souls is the one before Dark Souls right?... any good? What the difference? It's very good. Demon's Souls is perhaps a bit less fleshed out than Dark Souls but no less awesome. People should definitely pick up Ni No Kuni for £20.
flameboy Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Much point in downloading Demon Souls when I have Dark Souls sat unopened? Downloaded Catherine and Malicious today, love how Plus opens us up to games we wouldn't otherwise have played.
dwarf Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) The Unfinished Swan had a few cool ideas, not convinved it deserved all the plaudits though. Felt like a tech demo in that it was almost awe-inspiring in places, it just wasn't a cohesive game overall. And after an extended hiatus to beat Infamous 2 and this, it's time to get monstered by a cheap boss on Dark Souls for the 15th time. Edit: I think grating my own face off would be more enjoyable than this. THANK SHIT! Done it. Bed of Chaos goes down as the worst boss I've ever encountered. Edited May 10, 2013 by dwarf
Rowan Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Went through Thomas was Alone, really nice puzzle game with a simple but engaging story that makes you want to keep going. Think I completed it in 3-4 sessions in total. I'm also playing The Cave, it's a bit stop start as at various points I get completely stuck and have to resort to glancing a walk through for a step in the right direction. Without doing so, I'd be stuck forever. The humour is quite good too.
dwarf Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Even though I spoiled the last few areas of the game by playing it at a friends', I bought Journey and floated through the first half. The part where you're sliding down the glistening golden sands (from rights to left) as you gaze through the temple columns at the imposing mountain top is jaw dropping. Gee. Most beautiful moment in a game?
Happenstance Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Tales of Symphonia and sequel getting HD PS3 remake - report Acclaimed GameCube and PS2 role-player Tales of Symphonia is to be re-released on PlayStation 3, a new report suggests. The Tales of Symphonia: Perfect Edition pack will also include the game's Wii-exclusive sequel Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Both games will feature jazzed up HD visuals. Tales series boss Hideo Baba teased the Perfect Edition to Spanish site Koi-Nya, and said it would be "a representation of the dreams and hopes of the fans, who have long been wanting it". Tales of Symphonia scored an impressive 9/10 upon its 2004 GameCube release. "It may be clichéd, and altogether a little too bright and happy for its own good, but Tales of Symphonia is nonetheless epic, enjoyable, and superbly constructed," Rob Fahey wrote, "and deserves an audience far in excess of merely the hardcore JRPG fans who will undoubtedly snap it up with glee." http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-05-13-tales-of-symphonia-and-sequel-getting-hd-ps3-remake-report This would be pretty cool. I had Symphonia on the Gamecube but never got too far into it, dont think I had the patience back then for RPGs so I would like to play it again.
S.C.G Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Oh god... if that's true, then just take my money now! Tales of Symphonia in HD would be glorious, obviously being that the games were on Nintendo consoles first I'd prefer the option to buy it on Wii U but being that the PS3 already has the decent Tales of Graces f plus the soon to be released Tales of Xillia... it would seem to make sense. Either way, whichever console it comes out on, this will be a day 1 purchase as I love the original.
flameboy Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I had it on Cube and never played it and then sold it!
Retro_Link Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Stick it on Plus and I might give it a go :p Not a fan of RPG's, but the first especially was supposed to be a great one, so who knows.
dwarf Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Sony should've abandoned that survey when RPGs polled highly. I don't want RPGs. It's all about what I want.

I had Symphonia on the Gamecube but never got too far into it, dont think I had the patience back then for RPGs so I would like to play it again. Fuck yeah! I had it on Cube and never played it and then sold it! You're crazy! Never played it?!

Hero-of-Time Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 PS+ June Games: More games to add to my PS+ backlog. Off the top of my head i've got Vanquish, Dead or Alive 5, Bioshock 2, Hitman, The Cave and Strangers Wrath all sitting waiting to be played.
Daft Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Games I don't want or already have. Thank god. Edited May 15, 2013 by Daft
Cube Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Demon’s Souls and Rayman Origins for me. Good month. I wonder what's going on with the yearly games. Edit: Actually, they could announce (and release them) during E3. Edited May 15, 2013 by Cube
flameboy Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Just Kingdoms of Amalur for me actually wanted to play it so quite happy, no idea when I will get to it.
Magnus Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Kingdoms of Amalur seems long and boring, so I think I'll pass on that. But I've been waiting for Rayman Origins to hit the Vita PS+, so that's great news.

Magnus Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 You can see why I have very little interest in the game. :p
dwarf Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Damn why can't they give us the PS3 version of Origins too? Can't complain though, SotC ftw.
dwarf Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Despite being very generic and graphically underwhelming, I'm left wanting more after the FUSE demo. It's a 4 player co-op third-person shooter in a similar vein to Lost Planet 2 but tighter and with more focus on working as a unit. If I don't get it at launch, I'll definitely pick it up when it hits the bargain bin, which will probably only take a few weeks.

dwarf Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Oh don't get me wrong, I'd still prefer Cadbury to recall the chocolate bar over playing this.
