Video Games...Discuss Them

I think I started out warrior. Maybe knight. Hard to remember.

I need absolution. Which at level 25 is gonna require 50,000 souls.

[D_Davis]

You can always ascend it back to a regular +5 to take down the normal path, of course you won't get your upgrade stone back. Might be worth it though, to make it a Raw +5 while you're gathering the other stones to take it down the +10 path.

Who did you attack that you now need absolved?

In Sen's Fortress you can get a Lightning Spear that is awesome. Loving it.

[Sycophant]

Accidentally stabbed the woman who sells very useful items in the aqueduct. I may need her especially when I attempt New Londo Ruins (for temporary curse items). Cost of absolution scales to your level, so I should probably do it now before it becomes too pricey.

Yeah. I'm so scared of doing that that when I approach an NPC, I actually remove my right hand from the controller. Heh...

You can also get a curse cure (two, I think) from trading with Snuggly the crow egg back at the Undead Asylum. Can't remember what item to trade though.

Just realized you needed temp curse, not curse cure. There is a dead dude in New Londo that has two temp curses on him, but you probably found those already.

Got up to the top of the Undead Parish to fight the Bell Gargoyle.

But wait...a second one showed up! Last 5 humanity!! :frustrated:

I don't have to fight all 4 or 5 that are on top of the tower, I hope!

I also rescued the dude in gold armor (forget his name) from the other side of the top of the Undead Parish.

besides uncharted 3, i think the game i'm most excited for is saints row the 3rd

[Morris Schæffer]

Hmmm I don't remember my systems being jammed. Good luck. Pick up as much ammo as you can.

Did it! Ya know, it's amazing how one tends to miss vital aspects during moments of desperation and frustration. I didn't even realize until after a while that there was ammo scattered all over the level, nor did I realize I could actually shoot through the gaps in the scenery to hit him.

So good riddance.

Good work. I thought the 2nd boss was the hardest anyway.

Do you even have any hair left Meg? Haha. Once I'm done with Deus Ex, I'll play some more of this.

Haven't played a Saints Row game yet. What am I missing?

Did you kill him?

If not, be prepared for some future trouble!

[megladon8]

No I didn't. I haven't killed any NPC's yet.

Because the last guy I rescued from a prison cell ended up being a merchant, I didn't want to take the risk.

By the way - Bellfry Gargoyle. FREAKING HARD. My god. I've lost so many souls and humanities from these guys.


I really like that even if you lose an obscene amount of souls and humanity, it's not like it really sets you back. You just need to grind a bit to get right back where you were. Items and stuff you cannot lose.

So really, death is just an annoyance.

[D_Davis]

I killed the gold dude because he annoyed me. I didn't like his attitude. He drops a sweet ring.

And then I read up on him....

If you let him live it opens up a big sub-plot later on that sounds pretty awesome, and also kind of annoying.

Did you summon the Sub Bro for help?

[Spun Lepton]

Haven't played a Saints Row game yet. What am I missing?

Saints Row 2 is a blast. It's basically GTA without all the pretense.

[megladon8]

Did you summon the Sub Bro for help?

Yeah and he's really not doing much.

Now I have lost all my humanities so I can't summon him anymore.

Gotta try and wing it alone...and I am not doing well.

[Spun Lepton]

Sub Bro

Nothin'. What's sub with you?

[Skitch]

Should we just change this thread to The Dark Souls Discussion and be over with it? :frustrated:

no kidding! I would love to complain, but as soon as I do I'll pick up a game where I need help.

[D_Davis]

Woops...

That was supposed to be Sun Bro!

I'm in Sun Bro's club now. Whenever people summon me, I appear as a gold phantom.

[number8]

Let 'em. I'm gonna be talking about Arkham City just as much tomorrow. :P

[Thirdmango]

I got Just Cause 2 at Costco for 20 bucks. I love sandbox games.

[EyesWideOpen]

I opened up my Arkham City Collector's Edition and it came with 4 download codes:
Catwoman stuff
Robin stuff
Dark Knight Returns skin
Iceberg Lounge map

Also came with a pretty big statue, a copy of the soundtrack and a copy of Batman: Gotham Knight.

[Ezee E]

Gotham Knight
Catwoman stuff
Animated Series skin
Joker's Carnival map here

[megladon8]

Did you also get the collector's edition, E, or just the regular one?
