Don't know about DS2, but Dark Souls 1 was mostly a disappointment for me. I like hard and challenging games. I grew up on stuff like Contra... and DS was just a bland game filled with artificial difficulty by giving everything high HP and high damage. You basically get surprised by an unknown enemy that kills you in two swings, then you respawn, come back, take 5 minutes to kill him because you now know his very dumb and repetitive pattern and move on to the next area to rinse and repeat. |

They're supposedly releasing a "remastered" version of Dark Souls 2 next year, updated for DX11 and with all the DLC, but incompatible with the current version. I'm somewhat interested in trying the game, but as it's rumored there won't be a discount/free upgrade for those that already own the current version, I may just end up waiting on that since I probably wouldn't get around to playing it for a while anyway. |

Well, to be fair, often times in those older games the design philosophy was basically the same. It takes a long time to kill the boss and you die in 1 or 2 hits.
That said, I do agree that the original Dark Souls was...okay. I haven't played Dark Souls 2 but I'll probably pick it up since it is on sale. It doesn't hit my usual 66% or more rule but it is close enough. |

Space Engineer is fun, not sure how much development it's had in the couple months since I got it. |

Yup. It is relatively short but not...too bad? |

Is anyone watching for "Among the Sleep"? That looked creepy. |

I heard good things about Styx on release, if stealth is your cup of tea. So far nothing too tempting. |

Is Batman any good? |

They are actually really good games. |

said by Exodus:Is Batman any good? They are great games, best played with a xbox controller imho, but excellent. They defined modern action/adventure combat gameplay. Story and voice acting is top notch. |

The batman series is really really good.
The only problem is it's a shitty console port for each of them.
I uninstalled Arkham City and never finished it because I got a CTD 100% you're screwed restart the campaign bug. |

With a gamepad, worth every penny. It's an awesome stealth/action game. |

It's definitely a button masher. |

I also can't stress enough how good of a game Valkyria Chronicles is. I would be surprised, considering the recent release, if it goes for more than 25% off. |

Welp...I bought Dark Soul II.
Installed it. Fired it up. And proceeded to get killed about 6 times in 8 minutes.
10/10, would play again. |

When & where was this? Was it through Steam? I must have missed it. Ah well. If Steam offers the whole Batman bundle for $4.99 again, please somebody, anybody let me know/give me a heads up! It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! |
