I’m sorry everyone. I’m playing Dark Souls. Again.
But you know what? I have the urge to check out OlliOlli on PS Vita, but I seriously, honestly can’t find my PS Vita charger. Unreal. Fellow games writers are constantly telling me how much I would love OlliOlli, but I haven’t been able to play it yet because of the charger issue.
I’m also keen on checking out Outlast. I’m a PlayStation + member, so it’s currently free and I’m a big fan of survival horror. So maybe after dying for the zillionth time, I’ll take a nice gentle break by playing a game set in an insane asylum.
What are you playing this weekend?

MGS3 for some daft reason.
Because awesome
Because hell yes.
I’m not so sure…
Although, I’m on my second playthrough, which I started immediately after finishing it, so it must be doing something right.
I certainly wouldn’t describe my first playthrough as “fun.” Up until the battle with The End (which was great) I just wanted it to be over. Second playthrough is more enjoyable, since I have the stealth camo and I’m just mucking ’round, finding overlooked collectables.
I just don’t “get” it.
I have every intention of giving 4 a go at some point. Hoping it’s more fluid, and less like trying to pilot a malfunctioning mech.
MGS4 is sheer brilliance, but fluid it is most definitely not.
Bollocks.
I still say you should play the shit out that thang.
It’s a flawed masterpiece, and a defining title of the last generation. But then again, if you’re not feeling MGS3…. not so sure.
As long as you’re playing one of the MGS3 remakes – the original camera on PS2 non-Subsistence version was fucking horrific. Subsistence, MGS3HD, MGS3D, etc all have the improved, free camera.
I get lost with the modern camera
Started Outlast on PS4 last night, so will probably knock that over. Also continue my Dead Rising 3 playthrough. In between will likely be WoW, and Bravely Default.
How goes Bravely?
Don’t know, it comes out on the US 3DS store today. Haven’t played it yet.
Ah!
Demon’s Souls again.
I GOT INVADED. TWICE.
The only other person still playing this game wants to kill me.
I’m still playing, but didn’t invade you 😉 I havent been invaded once in fact. 12 bosses + 2 dragons down, 4 bosses to go I think.
Going to be jumping into some GTA Online on the Xbox 360 . If anyone wants to unleash hell with me in Los Santos. Be sure to send me a friends request. My gamertag is : B1ack Sword
Tomb raider DE and Fable anniversary.
May play some more Dead island thanks games with gold!
Demon’s souls! Taken out the adjudicator, now to go back to the poison swamp and see if I can get to the first boss there. Keep getting smashed by the BFG’s there 🙁
111 hrs and 95% complete in GTA V. The journey is almost over.
Catch up on work >_<
That sounds like a terrible game. What’s the last boss like?
Dunno, never got up to him 😛
More Skyrim, more resi 2 (cant stop!) & just jumped back into Chaos Rings after a long break.
Dark Souls. Got to push my way through Sen’s Fortress.
This is all your fault, @markserrels.
The fortress of a thousand stories!
I know. He’s a horrible influence. Roped me in as well. On this playthrough, I cracked. In over 25 years of gaming, I never used a guide for a game I hadn’t already beaten. Dark Souls broke me. This time I will beat it though. Further in than any previous run so far.
Sen’s Fortress really is a pain in the ass. Good luck to you. I’m about to take my first attempt at the bosses in Anor Londo.
Oh, I almost forgot. Damn you, Mark!
Have you beaten the Iron Golem yet?
No, I’ve only gone about halfway up Sen’s Fortress before one of the evilly placed arrow traps got me. Place is annoying trial-and-error like that.
Same thing here, what have you done Mark!
Any one or combination of the following:
PS4 – Outlast, COD: Ghosts, BF4 Online, ACIV.
PS3 – GTA V or Online, Last of Us Online.
Wii U: New Super Mario U, ZombiU, DKC2: Diddy’s Kong Quest
Gladly I think my 4 month old son will take up most of my time tho
If I can acquire all 120 stars from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
I can finally get started on Tales of Xillia.
Possibly finish GTA V ( I think I’m on the last heist), and starts on new saves on Skyrim and Dark Souls. What’s this outside people say I should witness?
This won’t be a surprise but…. Arma 3 lol
Collecting the rest of the stuff in Lego Batman 2, then moving on to Lego Marvel.
Also want to try Outlast if I ever get to download it because I just turned on my PS4 for the first time in weeks and it has quite a few update downloads to get through first.
Muramasa Rebirth, Outlast and maybe some Battlefield 4. Got the house to myself all day tomorrow and just had a house inspection so it’s spotless, should get plenty of gaming in :D.
Blackflag. Just been trying to upgrade everything before I finish off the main mission (I think I’m getting pretty close).
WAS going to play Outlast. That was before finding out that Flappy Bird is making $50,000 a day. I think I’ll learn C++.
Firefall and when i get bored of that ill head into LOTRO need to work on my Legacies. I am spewing cause i have tried Darksouls just cant seem to get anywhere with it on P.C having trouble equipting items and dont have a 360 controler.
Been feeling like going back into my old games. I reinstalled DA:O and modded that up, gunna finish it as a Dalish elf this time. Also been keen to play System Shock 2 and Theif II again.
Peace Walker and Persona 4.
God I wish I still had the Dark Souls experience to have. Seeing the bliss being posted by Mark, Patrick Klepek, Brad Shoemaker, Vinny Caravella and Jeff Green I want to experience fresh all again. Can not wait for the new game.
I would be playing the Elder Scrolls Online but by the time I download the 21gb file to play the bloody thing the Beta will be over.
Final Fantasy XIV, and a mix of Virtue’s Last Reward and Bravely Default.
Going to fight my way through chapter 6 in Resident Evil 5 on Veteran tonight. then who knows, I may just have a steam lottery lol.
Dark Souls … I need to go farm some humanity and purple moss before trudging back through blighttown and murdering what’s her face … Queqey? Quetzalcoatl? Quadloo? The spiderchick with no nipples.
I had her at like one percent health and rolled out of the way of her thrust and went right into some lava which was enough to kill me
Playing through Sleeping Dogs. It’s much better than I thought it would be.
Dark Souls, that is all. Might pick up Fable Anniversary as well, but I doubt I’ll get any time to play it.
Also, @zambayoshi I got the Newsworthy achievement in Skylanders: Swap Force during the week on my Xbone, Have you got it the trophy on PS4 yet. It’s really weird that you can get the achievement/trophy on 360, Xbone and PS3, but not PS4.
Still no luck 🙁 Apparently Activision is looking into the problem with Telstra. What ISP are you on?
Loving Assassin’s Creed IV on my new PS4 🙂
My son is banned from the Wii U this weekend, otherwise I’d be playign co-op Mario 3d World with him.
Spelunky and Dark Souls!
Damn you Serrels and Patrick Klepek.
Outlast, Rocksmith… and Dark Souls. Damn you, @serrels. 😛 Started again night before last, played for a couple of hours,
fourfive deaths (my fingers remember how to play, I guess), and (iirc) only a rapier-guy and a butt-tonne of zombies between me and the Gargoyles.Edit: forgot about that Black Knight… who knocked me off the tower.
I played a bit of outlast last night and nearly shat myself seven times, so probably some solitaire for the next few weeks.
but actually probably just Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on PS4.
Farcry 3.
I don’t have Dark Souls yet, and it’s out of stock on ozgameshop at the moment (PS3). Probably a good thing and I still haven’t touched Dishonored, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite and The Last of US. Also still only on my 3rd play through of Borderlands 2, and haven’t touched 3 pieces of DLC yet. Too many games, so little time 🙁
Knack and Tomb Raider on the ps4 and Lightning Returns on the xbox 360…
Finished off Dark Souls about a month ago, amazing game, however may venture back to Lordran for NG+ as i hear it is when the true Dark Souls begins.
Also attempting a BLOPS Zombies LAN Easter Eggs run for Die Rise and Buried to complete all achievements.
Otherwise on my second playthrough of Super Mario 3D World to unlock the Crown World. Great game, really picks up in the second half of the game.
Rayman Legends – Wii U
Civ 5 – PC
Fix car – Life
Final Fantasy 13-2
Only have Knife flights to do in GTA V to crack 100%, so will try to do that.
And probably BF4.
PS Vita = Genkai Tokki Monster Monpiece import. Brushing up on my Japanese, but the game is pretty cool. It’s a little like a turn based tower defence like Plants v Zombies, but using monster musume.
PS3 = Skylanders SWAP Force, on the quest for Platinum (having got all the trophies bar Newsworthy and the Platinum on PS4).
PS4 = Madden 25 (waiting for Tomb Raider DE to arrive from abroad).
Long Live the Queen. I’ve failed that damn thing 4 times already!
try playing it like Dark Souls; when you die, you start from the very beginning every time. you’ll beat those chocolates eventually!
I don’t know what to play…
Dammit @markserrels I’m one week in and I think I too am addicted to Dark Souls…
Been meaning to ask (and you may have answered this elsewhere already): have you read/viewed any online guides to help you through the game? I tried to go in completely cold, but by the time I got to that first Black Knight in the Undead Burg my resolve quickly faded and I had to start googling =P
Psychology Homework
i had a drunk and stoned co-op romp through Beyond Two Souls in two sittings over the weekend. like all David Cage’s material, i half loathed and half immensely enjoyed this chaotic mess shonky controls and banal dialog. god knows if i’d have had as much fun if playing it alone and not on drugs.
my co-op partner has been getting through LA Noire with me backseat driving and suggesting she makes the same wrong decisions that i made during my play through.
also tore into Broken Age, which i loved but wish i had have savored it and chewed more because it was all gone so quickly.
*sigh* AAAAAaaannd, Dark Souls. just joined the Blade of the Darkmoon for some guilty hunting, but more often than not it seems like the guilty tend to hide as far away from me as humanly possible. cue the Benny Hill theme.
so, yes, i’m out of work at the moment.
