I thought about it, since the family is out next week and I have a few evenings to myself to get my game on. But then I saw GoW Ascension on sale for $8 and decided on that instead (on PS3). I was completely in love with Demon's, I enjoyed the combat in Dark Souls 2 so much that I happened to plat it. But I guess I'm feeling a little too soul'd out to shell out for a new console for it. Especially if the other games that interest me on said console are remakes of games I already played (Borderlands, DmC). Well, maybe the GoW3 remake can sway me. I never played that one.

p.s. If there is anybody left in the ascension pvp scene I am sure I will get my a$$ handed just like in bloodborne :p

@shalashaskauk666: i dont understand why you're playing it then. Finish the extra level in rayman legends if you want to prove yourself on something truly difficult AND have fun :)

@hassun: why, proper duels are the only pvp I am interested in. Of course I invade, but few good fights comes out of it.

Off topic, but parrying can be a very fun mechanic. In MGR:R it is absolutely required on the higher difficulties but never a problem becasue it is so well executed. Or in Bayonetta (although arguably the dodge is the safer choice here), so I guess next time From should let Platinum design the combat. Which I would pay to play that game! Or no more heroes way back on the Wii. Had you parry with the wii-mote :) In dark souls it was never really required. And the timing never felt intuitive to me.

Even more off topic, Shadow Tower hits PSN next week. Them's the roots!

@karkarov: When you guys say stun, do you mean proper stun or interrupt an attack animation? Like in Ninja Gaiden I throw a shuriken at a caster. In that case why would you have to time it like a parry? Or proper stun like I stun the first sentinel in power stance. But again, wait for opening, hit r2, stun. No timing. Or an honest parry like you would a black knight?

All very confusing. I wish there was a demo.

And yea, the limited playstyles sounds un souls-like.

Hmm, my Wii U is quite happy as a Bayonetta2 only machine. But that game is arguably the best character action game ever made. So it is an easy decision. Whereas I feel like a proper champions run might actually be a better .souls experience than this? I am only going by my gut here.

Well and the fact that I really don't like killing stuff with fur or feathers in games. I guess I'm weird that way :)

Wow, I guess that I never used shields should help me adapt, but the fact that you are struggling makes me nervous about the game. Which, once again, I am not feeling right now. I mean should I get a PS4 for this? When I havent even done a proper champions cov run of DkS2.

Right now moving my Maya over to the handsome collection seems like a bigger incentive. Which is very very sad for a console that has been out for a while.

There was a thread about this on the Escapist. And I was left alone and stranded holding up Afro Samurai.

Samuel L Jackson.

As Afro.

And Ninja Ninja.

Damn. Fine. Work.

they wouldnt let me post when the kickstarter was still open :(

You probably saw it but there will definitely be local multiplayer on the wii-u. not sure about ps4. That stretch goal was a last minute addition. Their enthusiasm got the best of them :)

You are exactly the player they have in mind. Very little time on their hand and no patience for filler :)

Curious to hear how you like it. I really enjoy it. You get all the moves from the getgo and only unlock secondary weapons as you go.

"it never gets easier, you just get better" :)
