When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?
-
Is anybody else here picking up Dark Souls? I am a huge huge huge Demon's Souls fan and am totally picking this up. (preordering the game nets you the fairly snappy looking collector's edition (http://www.preparetodie.com/en/preorder/))
Also, this dub of the newest trailer (http://www.tubedubber.com/#aRbbAv68rr8:BuCf5qG4gFI:0:100:0:49:true) is hilarious.
-
I don't plan on it for several reasons:
1: I don't own the system
2: I'm not particularly fond of the genre.
-
Seen Demon Souls before... not really a fan of these kinda games. Only play fighting games and RPG's with good character development.
-
I plan on getting it, it's the game I'm looking forward to the most (of the games that have an official release date).
-
It's a console game, so no.
The only exception to this rule will be Metal Gear: Rising.
-
I'm prolly gonna get it. I like being angry.
-
there's a new batch of screenshots (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.178246552248397.44371.119869331419453&type=1&_fb_noscript=1) today! get hype to play a class that comes naked out of the box.

... what genre is that? game plays like an arcade game with rpg elements. at least, i play it that way. it's like the new generation of dungeons and dragons: shadows over mystara. or something.
(also it's both ps3 and 360 this time.)

Yeah, I know what it would play like. From what I gather it's the exploration/RPG genre, I'm not saying it's bad but that I can only stomach it either with scifi or a higher magical content so I don't get bored from seeing bland rooms over and over.
And no, I don't own either.

I'm more drawn to the wanderer and his freakin' awesome cloak. Still, Deprived/Hobo army is tempting.
-
Ill be getting it as I really enjoyed Demons Souls. Though I never did get that fucking pure bladestone.

I had a dex build char (dual uchigatanas, yum) so I needed one. After some reading and planning I went in with low-luck, pure black world tendency, no large sword of searching. This is because luck actually fucks up your chances of getting one.
Took about an hour and a half of grinding that one black skeleton.
..Worst part is, I still need a second one at some point for the other katana (it's a Moon+5 right now, and does less damage) but I can't be bothered to do it.

Is it fair to guess that you only play japanese rpgs and not something like, say, planescape torment?
Also I will probably be getting this on 360 since I think that what most of my friends will get it on. I hope the coop is a lot better in this one, since even doing coop in the last game felt like single player and you couldn't legitimately progress via coop, it only progressed the living player
-
-Good character development
-J-RPGs
I lol'd.
Anyone who doesn't buy Dark Souls is getting banned. (lie)
If you haven't played Demon's Souls and have a PS3, you really should. It's only $20 new on Amazon now.

googled planescape torment... :V
....Even if it is a decent game, I refuse to play any RPG that could easily be named "Wizards and Goblins" and people not give it a second thought. I did see that the game is very well accepted though, so I'm sure it's good. Just not something that I personally find interesting.
Anyways, it really doesn't matter to me what kind of RPG I play, as long as the game gives me a reason to spend 70+ hours with the characters I'm playing as.... Like, I can't just be running into dungeons without knowing a backstory or something to make me care about what I'm doing in the game. Otherwise, it feels like I'm just doing whatever for the sake of doing whatever.

At first I thought you were talking about Dark Souls, to which I said "What?"
And then I realized you were talking about fucking PLANESCAPE TORMENT, and I realized you had no clue what you were talking about period.
-
Planescape fucking Torment.
PLANESCAPE FUCKING TORMENT!
-
I played Demon's for about a week, then I moved to Japan. It was fun though so I'll definitely hop on Dark's
-
Come on you guys... you know there's some Wizardry, Orks, Elves and Goblins in this game. Don't mess with me.
Seriously speaking though, I'm sure the game is great. But I can't relate to you guys on this one.
-
always wanted to play this series, heard it's kinda like angband with good graphics which is like saying lucky charms laced with THC
alas I have no ps3, this new one's on both consoles though, right?
also lol @ jrpgs
they're like nanoha anime mixed with data entry, or spinach laced with krokodil
-
Yeah its on PS360.

You're 1 for 4.
ps I nailed it

gettin dis
-

Dark Souls is on both, yeah. And the collector's edition costs the exact same amount as the standard edition, so you might as well grab the cool bonus stuff while you're at it.
-
If you ACTUALLY play RPGs for character development then yes Planescape Torment is fucking good on that part. The setting is also pretty nonstandard (Don't assume it's typical just because it's DnD).
Demons Souls had a garbage story but the gameplay was fun and the atmosphere was good, which I'll take over story anyways. Fuck goddamn motherfucking son of a bitch crystal geckos though and fuck the obscure alignment system.

Interesting. I'll actually keep it in mind for something I'll have to play in the future. Since it's on pc, it'd prolly be easy to get a hold of anyway I guess...
ps I nailed it
Figuring out that a person named 7thfonon likes jRPG's, is like cracking the code to a vault that is already open. :slowpoke:
-
I had a lot of fun that one night (AM7?) that brett, jeff, and the other norcal guys sat me down in front of the game, so I would like to get Dark Souls. I would have played more Demon Souls if it wasn't ps3 onry. =<
Also I'm kind of miffed that I can't get the preorder due to sinking all my money into fixing my car right now. I want dat artbook.
Also also I like that the website is preparetodie.com.
-
I'm definitely picking up Dark Souls.
I might actually go all out and get whatever special edition thingamajiggie they come out with.
And psh, dex builds. S'all about that faith build dawg.

faith builds are pretty weak at the 100+ level range. the regen from blessed equipment is pretty nice but not nice enough when faith doesn't offer anything you can't get from something else. knockdown + wrath of god would also be pretty good if players weren't so ridiculously durable at that level range, too. so it's basically just The Mirdan Hammer Build. which is pretty strong, but not very flexible.
hands of god -are- cool though.
up there mostly what you'll see is strength(dbs, knight sword, great axe), dexterity(kilij, uchigatana, spiked shield), or magic focused builds.
-
Honestly I never got INTO PvP all that much.
I did Faith cuz it made my first PvE playthru alot less troublesome.
I used Guillotine Axe/Great Sword cuz I just didnt like the feel of the Mirdan Hammer.
-
Haha, it's the top ad on youtube today.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93LFz_j5fQA New trailer, now coming pre-dubbed.

http://www.preparetodie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1156&start=105 Someone actually got to play the game and is giving out information. This same guy destroyed the E3 demo, so he's not a bad player when he's saying it's ridiculously hard.
So hype.
-
DAT TRAILER.
Ive never been so ready to die.
-
There's a new (Japanese) interview. Probably spoilers ahoy, maybe not though. http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/401/401145/
Someone on gamefaqs summed up a fair amount of it here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/606312-dark-souls/60211421
-There is a new weapon category called "giant bow," which is a bow that is as big as the player and fires projectiles the size of spears
So. Dragon bone bow?
-
lol Dragon Bone Bow. Sounds awesome.
Also looking at those gamefaqs comments, there's so many people complaining about the "invasions to steal a valuable item from another player" note. Everyone afraid to raise humanity for that good drop only to get it stolen away, lol.
-
Why is the title Demon Souls's's's?
also fuck yeah Planescape Torment.
-
Everyone afraid to raise humanity for that good drop only to get it stolen away, lol.
Best.
This game is going to be so good.
-
So instead of world tendency, we've got this humanity thing?
I actually dont know how I feel about this open world thing. Hype and scared at the same time.

Here's the Prologue all in one go, so we don't have to hunt down each individually released piece.
-
Tried this game now; Can't re-map controls, which makes it a piece of fucking garbage.
R.I.P. Gaming industry.

It was like that in Demon Souls too. I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
-
It was like that in Demon Souls too.
And I'm sure I'd hate that one too.
Hopefully I'll be able to sell this game to someone i know.
I'm pretty sure it's intentional.
Yeah, they love to force their fucked up preferences onto other people.
I wouldn't have even considered playing Melty if not for the fan made keyconfig, or if caster had to use default controls.
Any game that does not allow custom button mapping is Neanderthal bullshit.
-
lol, what's wrong with the default config?
I'm stuck on that bloody midnight butterfly at the minute. I got summoned and shot like 50 arrows into it's face and had it at like 2% hp but then my stupid summoner had to die.
aaaaaa
-
I finally got this game, like a week late. Cleared up to ringing the first bell. Good times.
Also if you are complaining about the button configuration in this game you're nuts.
-

Moonlight Butterfly was extermely easy for me. Just go human and summon the npc ally, she'll spam Soul Arrow for a rather large chunk of its health per shot. Kills the boss for you.
-
Im grinding slimes in the area before blightown for green titanite for my magic uchigatana... killed an npc shopowner for it, but DAMN was it worth it.
BTW, anybody know a particular order for anything yet? I killed the gargoyle and rang the first bell, and the gaping dragon, but i found the butterfly and just kinda went back and didnt bother.
Should I be able to take it by now?
-

I'll be real, I was lost at first when norcal made me play Demon Souls. Random x presses wasting grass and shit. lol
But really, after a little bit of play, I couldn't imagine it any other way. Very good setup. The fact that you're raging so hard over it, Roy, makes me giggle.
-
Played up to the gargoyle part today before i decided never to touch the game again. There's nothing fabulous about it, grinding XP (souls) and items is lame, and it's not really as "hard" as people claim.
Also if you are complaining about the button configuration in this game you're nuts.
Playing games with your thumbs is nuts.

I just took off some gear so i could dodge her spells easier and pummelled her face in when she landed.
Exploring the depths now. I like how thieves start with high enough wis and int to be using spells heh.

Yup. Were you there for that? I don't even remember who all was up chilling with me besides Brett and Jeff.

I actually wasn't there that night. I do, however, remember glorious whispers of GalGun the next day.
Thoughts on Dark Souls, guys?
-
So for anyone looking to do end game pvp/coop/finish covenants/grinding/farming/whatever, do not go into kiln and fight Lord Gwyn, its a point of no return once you beat him.
Thoughts on Dark Souls, guys?
I'd say its better in almost every way than Demon Souls. The only thing I'd really concede to Demon Souls is the main plot (Dark has better lore surrounding it) and the "open world" is more of a hindrance before you get the ability to warp: something they really had no reason to hold out on considering you're limited on which bonfires you can travel to (which is a good thing). I actually liked Demon Souls more at first but Dark won me over once I got past the first area.
If you haven't played Demon Souls I'd recommend this game to anyone who doesn't mind a challenge and enjoys RPGs, action-adventure or hack and slash (as long as you don't assume this is Ninja Gaiden or DMC).
Time for some copy paste:
Just beat the game (SL 77 I think)...
Ending sucked, didn't realize it automatically took you to new game + (complete with auto save going off every second in case you want to hit that power button) so I can't go back and finish my covenant and dick around with pvp. Pretty irritating, really bad note to finish the game on. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut at least the last boss was fun and had some good atmosphere.

PS anyone who has 360 version better watch out because when the next patch drops cus I'm rolling a strength character next with the dragon bone fist and will be uppercutting the shit outta people
-
PC release confirmed, apparently.
Guess I'll give it a chance. Too bad i already spent money on this shitty console version which I'll never play.
-
I'm glad more people will be able to enjoy the game. Here's hoping for a Steam release.
-
Games for Windows Live confirmed.
Not buying.
-
Not confirmed yet. Pretty likely, but not confirmed.
-
Just because it's GfWL doesn't mean it isn't also a Steam release.
Stop overreacting.
-
It doesn't matter if it's a Steam release. People aren't complaining that it's not on Steam. It's that it's on GWFL and GWFL encrypts saves, corrupts saves, have lots of multiplayer issues, is not available in certain countries, and stops working if you change hardware or OS. I've had so many saves stop working for the most random reasons. Why would upgrading OS break my saves? Adding RAM makes my saves break too? Scumbag system.
-
Indeed. I don't care if it's on Steam or not; i just don't want GFWL. I have one GFWL game in my Steam library (my brother bought it) and I've never been able to play it. Of course, everything else works perfectly, even the games which are supposed to be incompatible with my OS.
-
Well regardless of the fact that everyone's tripping out without even having an actual confirmation, there's been a petition going around to not have it on gfwl. Go look it up and sign that if it bothers you so much.
-
Already signed it.
-
Finally got bored enough to plug in my PS3.
This game is the best thing in years, despite performance issues and a bitch camera.
Thankfully, the difficulty is highly over-rated, and i had no trouble getting through the game after finding out there's actually a lock-on function.
Planning to start a NG+ since i got bored of trying to be a helpful phantom. I like assisting others in boss fights, but the time between summonings is ridiculous. I'm sure there could be a much better system in place for this if it was just made for PC.
I would've been interested in playing Demon's Souls, but they're apparently killing that game in may.

Demon's Souls servers are still alive, actually: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/05/25/demon-39-s-souls-servers-staying-online.aspx
On that note: http://www.justpushstart.com/2012/06/dark-souls-pc-coming-to-steam/
I do NOT know how legit this is btw.
If it is legit, this is the best of news.
-
My PS3 stopped reading discs yesterday, and the box is sealed with a fucking torx screw of all things, meaning i won't be able to open it and attempt to fix it until Monday when the stores are open.
I hate consoles.
I've been playing Dark Soul's whenever I've had free time lately.
I bought Demon's Souls two or three days ago thinking it'd be interesting enough even without online stuff. I was pleasantly surprised when i saw blood stains and messages all over the place as i ventured past the tutorial level.
As for that link; a lot of sites seem to be saying the same, so hopefully it's all true. If it is, that means i should be safe as long as i don't buy a retail copy.
EDIT: I think the article is just badly written. The game is likely sold through Steam but still requires GFWL.
-
Here's the steam page, if you're wondering. (http://store.steampowered.com/app/211420/)
Not a word about GFWL, but that doesn't mean much.
-
Wondering if it's really Steamworks or is just on Steam. Would be lame if it were on Steam and still used GFWL.
EDIT: Yeah, retail still has GFWL. I REALLY doubt that they made it so that retail plays with 360 and other retail players and Steamworks plays with other Steamworks players. Much more likely that it's all GFWL and they're just selling it through Steam.
-
Not getting the shitty game.
Tried for hours to get fucking GFWL to even run and it DOES. NOT. FUCKING. WORK!
Doesn't help either that every time something goes wrong I get some really smug asshole error message.
