@Kingthrash360 What sort of fucking idiot statement is that?
Xbox fans 'hate' indies.
Are you mad?
Dude, we're gamers and want games ffs. Some of the very best games of the last decade have come from the indie stables.
Seriously, get the fuck out of here with that console warz bullshit attitude bra.
We're gamers and this crap is getting old.
As an xbox gamer through and throu...
The irony is the writer recognises one of the core strengths on a souls game design is the fact that it doesn't spoon feed you to progress.
Then goes on to complain that it doesn't spoon feed you to progress.
This is why Souls games are for the gamer's gamer and not the casual market.
Dark Souls 2
South Park Stick of Truth
Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls
FFS why would you bother going next gen?
Titanfall?
Coming out on Xbox one, PC and Xbox 360.
If Microsoft are trying to 'encourage' gamers to move to next gen consoles, they're really doing their best to ensure people stay on old gen.
They should have made a deal with From Software there somehere to provide a 'next...
Don't forget the fact that we pay on average 100$ Australian for latest release games here compared to $60 US (Aus $ is about 90c US atm) AND to top it off, there's currently no live Data Centres for the Azure network down under.
That's right, We're about to pay $100 for Titanfall this week and have to connect to fucking Asia to play the game.
THAT is what it's like to be an Australian gamer - pay a shitload more than the rest of the world...
Ahhh it's not working that great right now with FIRST party headsets.
The Polk4Shot has some major issues with the Microphone as we speak...

I need this game on my Xbox one.
The fact they haven't made next gen ports for this game is painful and shameful.
Dark Souls has a cult following and a place on Next gen consoles.
I sincerely hope they make the decision to go next gen sooner rather than later.
I'd buy this day one on my Xbox one, no question.
Make it happen From Software!!!!
I only want this on my Xbox one.
Make it happen From Software!!!!
It's too early and highly presumptuous to assume the end when we're 3 months into the cycle.
Yes, initial PS4 sales are record breaking, even for their own platform. Sony are clearly cashing in on a situation where there's a lack of strong competition in the market (and good on them)
But people are naive if they honestly believe that this is 'good' for them or the industry.
True competition is what sparks innovation and c...
Keep at it dude. Dark Souls is one of the best games of last generation, all the way to the end.
It's amazing, which is why there's such a massive ground swell for Dark Souls 2 out there.
It's returning gaming back to it's roots and the gamers love it.
It's just a travesty there's no next gen port of this game. The PS4 and X1 sales for this would be amazing as well, without a doubt.
That bought a huge smile to my face. Loved it!
Chicken before the egg situation.
Next gen focus limits your current potential sales market to about 10% of the existing old gen climate.
So financially speaking, it makes more sense to hold back your release until there's more next gen consoles in the wild.
That in turn discourages gamers to go next gen as there's nothing truly next gen to play.
The eternal console generational struggle lives on...
Destiny
Why it might suck: Some people will say that we’ve been playing this game already, and it’s called Borderlands.
Lol, they say this like it's a bad thing!
Gotta feel for Popcap here.
Release at launch of X1 and go against Battlefield and COD.
Release in a month from now and go against Titanfall.
They were always going to be doing it hard on the X1 against that lineup.
They should have just made PvZ 3 (without the shit microtransaction bullshit) and released that on Xbox arcade instead.
They'd have a better market to sell to, more longevity and no clashes to...
Dark Souls

"1. It's a pure stealth game."
The last couple missions deviate from this premise completely. Action escape sequences and boss fights do not a true stealth game make and the ending was about as 'non thief' as it gets.
"2. Thief was always going to get hate simply because it is a reboot of a beloved franchise."
It's getting hate because it takes the artistic licence of the original, stomps on it without any...
I find the side missions to be more satisfying than the main plot.
They certainly feel more thiefy if you've played the previous games.
But overall, it's not that great a game. Not absolutely terrible, but not great either.
It's unlikely anyone will be playing this in a month's time unless they pick it up in a bargain bin somewhere.
It's not redefining the genre, it's actually a pretty forgettable exp...
Agreed completely, Dark Souls is one of the best games of the entire last generation.
Ironically though, this will still be better than the 2014 version that was just released...
Don't forget the weak Azure server support.
If you played the Titanfall beta, you'll know if you're not in the core US/UK demographic, you're pretty much SOL on getting access to local cloud servers.
MS put the chicken before the egg going global to markets launching the X1 without putting local Azure servers there for them to use.
It's out on PC and Xbox one as well so it won't be a 'system seller', that term is generally just for platform exclusives.
The fact that it's next gen only however is a very positive sign.
