Why the hell is March the new November when it comes to video game releases? I mean dear God, have mercy on me. Dark Souls II, Titanfall this week. Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes and Infamous: Second Son on the way. I haven’t even started Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze yet. Have mercy on me.
Oh, and I totally forgot about South Park: The Stick of Truth, which I really, really want to play but can’t at this precise moment.
Yep, March is stacked.
But I expect my attention will mostly be focused on Dark Souls II this weekend. I’m having a blast with it so far. And it’s tough. Probably tougher than the original in a lot of ways. The ever reducing health thing is killing me. I beat a boss without being hit last night because it was LITERALLY THE ONLY WAY I COULD BEAT HIM WITH MY SHITTY HEALTH SITUATION.
I guess I’m still having ‘fun’.
What are you playing this weekend?

Titanfall
Probably Dark Souls 1. I’m trying to beat it before the PC release of Dark Souls 2.
Dark Souls 2
I’ve only put about 4 hours into the game and I haven’t really stayed Hollow due to having like, 10 Human Effigies at all times.
Anyways, I have some painting and gaming to do for a Warmachine League. If I paint 15 points worth of models before Monday I get bonus points.
Dark Souls 2 after that.
Real men only ever paint a Behemoth… IN ENEMY BLOOD.
If you can somehow keep all the pieces attached.
Mine is in pretty good order, I took a model pose I found online one volting over a wall and decided it would be much more bad ass if it were jumping off a cyclone (Big B is painted, the cyclone doesn’t deserve it).
Mark, you’ve convinced me to finally play Dark Souls. It’s been a long time since I finished Demon’s Souls, but it’s a great feeling to return to a game that refuses to hold my hand or compromise when things get tough.
I know I’m really late to the party, but Dark Souls 1 arrived this week, so I’ll be tormenting myself with that.
Nothing! I am bored of my consoles and don’t have aircon in my office with the PC… So most likely be outside mowing the lawn or fixing up a garden bed…. showing my 29yrs now aint I…
A mix of Dark Souls 2 and Titanfall.
Well I expect to be playing Titanfall after going and doing some shopping tomorrow when my pay has gone in. I was also gifted Enemy Within on steam so I feel strongly obliged to play that – I will try and squeeze it in when my wife is using the TV (hopefully for Titanfall).
Mostly Titanfall, I hope. Wonder if those local servers went up yet?
Enemy Within is great. I feel like they should of combined EU and EW though and released them as one.
9 months later, I’m still playing Animal Crossing.
This guy.
Dark Souls II.
Dragon Age 2 (yeah I know, but I never finished it the first time and I’m actually really enjoying it).
Might try to squeeze in some Tomb Raider as well.
Dark Souls 2, shall be my demise!
DKC Tropical Freeze
Up to world 5 so far.
Assassin’s Creed 4
Got a golf comp tomorrow, and with AFL kicking off this weekend as well I’m not sure I’ll be doing much gaming. But if I do it’ll be Dark Souls 1.
I’m gonna do it. 3 lords down, in the Tomb of the Giants. I *will* finish Dark Souls this weekend… probably. If I don’t get stuck on the DLC. Which I probably will.
So much Titanfall…oh the Titanfall I will be playing will be excessive, I’m talking 10 year old drinking Cola/orange juice mixed while playing Bubble Bobble on my Commodore 64 excessive!
Cola/OJ?! Must try.
Pure sugar…tastes like bad punch but does the job
My energy drink before redbull
I’m moving from Queensland to South Australia this weekend so there won’t be any gaming for me. 🙁
I am playing drive around Tasmania.
Surprisingly, running around like a headless chook in Dark Souls II (Figuratively and probably literally at times). I’m also trying my hand at a Hall of Fame speedrun in Bravely Default as well.
Probably some Dark Souls 1… restarted as a knight after watching Zisteau’s playthrough that inspired me to try a different playstyle, and focus on gear upgrades (which I’m starting to think I may have neglected far too much in my previous playthroughs). Quick summary:
Knight with starting sword +4 beat the gargoyles first try, moonlight butterfly was a pain as melee-only, capra demon went down third try, now running around smashing things with a zweihander+1, working my way through the Depths.It felt really eerie playing on Wednesday night – went human though the Parish and saw no-one, not even a ghost of another player, no invasions, no summon signs… it was great. Saw a couple of people last night, tho, so I guess some people really are content to wait for the PC release of the sequel.
Also some Rocksmith 2014, probably to unwind after the above.
Starting to enjoy session mode, but the current goal of “Play for 20 minutes with these backing bands” is a little annoying, mainly because I don’t like the backing selection. Chord transitions are getting smoother in most songs (tho D always tends to screw me up because of the awkward second finger placement), and tremollos are getting better, but arpeggios are the bane of my life. I really want to play Knockin on Heaven’s Door and Everybody Hurts, but damn those arpeggios.Eve online, got some roids with my name on them just waiting to be nom’d…..
PS4 – finished Knack hard playthrough last night , now for the grind to platinum.
PS3 – Dragon’s Dogma, starting to get into it. Pretty fun experience.
Vita – Miku triple dipping ahoy!
will be playing CS:GO Competetive matches while drinking wine and if the Aussie servers are up heaps of Titanfall, won’t touch it until the servers go live.. as a hardcore FPS fan, I need me some good pings.
I will be playing Dark Souls 2 this weekend, it’s new, you probably haven’t heard of it.
Okay accidentally walked into JB Hi Fi at lunch and am now playing Titanfall this weekend also.
How do you “accidentally” walk into JB Hi-Fi?
My PS4 is at the mechanic getting a tune up (@Sony being replaced). Thankfully I have had Stick of Truth to occupy my time, will finish probably tonight and then replay again over the w/e so much fun.
Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks, Lemmiwinks!
Lemmiwink’s journey is distant, far and fast! To find his way out of a gay man’s ass! The road ahead is filled with danger and fright! But push onward Lemmiwinks with all of your might!
I’m on my second PS4 too (disc drive broke), what happened?
Bought the console at launch and had no issues until early/mid Jan when I was just watching TV and the system (whilst in stand by) randomly ejected the disc. Tried multiple fixes: unplug, firmware, tightening the disc drive screw. The tightening of the screw fixed it for about 2 weeks and then it started happening again. Seems to be happening to a few people from what I can gather around the net.
Yeah exactly what happened to me, then the grinding and beeping started at what felt like 3am every morning. On the plus side Sony only wants you to send the console with no cables or controllers so you will hopefully get a free dualshock 4 like I did! (they just send you a whole new console in box)
Yeah mine did a lot of beeping even when it had no power source connected.I had heard that you get a new console with all the goodies, I am a little surprised there has not been more press on this, but maybe its not as widespread as I thought.
And on the down-low it shall remain! I had a second red dualshock pre-ordered so it was pretty lucky, you can probably sell the second box for something too!
Forgive my naivety but “sell the second box”?
The box it came in, sounds silly but there was a period before where they were going for quite a bit. May not be the case now but take a look.
Thief on ps4. Only up to chapter 5, but I’ve been taking my time and exploring every little inch of the maps. Although I still somehow miss 1 or 2 loot per chapter. Some of them must be really well hidden!
…is it worth the $70-90 purchase? I’ve been hesitant.
Good question. I’m enjoying it, but I probably should have held off till it was cheaper. I think the main reason I bought it was I had no full games on ps4 yet.
Yeah, I’m thinking it will probably be $20-30 in a years time at some EB sale.
For sure. Wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up on ps+ for free as well (if you have a ps3/4 that is)
Am I the only guy who cant log into Dark Souls 2 servers?
They should be up and ready by late this evening/night, according to the AU Bandai Namco twitter account.
Cheers, I’ve been holding off playing off line but its getting hard with it sitting in my ps3 haha
I will die again and again and again and again. I hope it is as fun as the last two times I took souls.
I will be “playing” Darksouls2. Such a wondrous experience!
Dark Souls 1
Mother 3
Bayonetta, I’d been going on about it for a while to my housemate because he couldn’t understand me gushing over Platinum Games so I had him play a bit and didn’t like it. So now I’m hammering through it so I can show him the batshit insane final boss fight
Hope to play some Black Flag on my PS4 and I’m also playing through Metro: Last Light (These guys really know how to create atmosphere in a game).
just got a Minecraft server up and running with my brother so i will probably sink a few minutes (lots of hours) into that haha
a bit of titan fall for me
ive been having a great time with donkey kong and ive also been getting back into AC4.
way too much to play.
it makes something like MGS being only a couple hours actually seem appealing to me
Yeah, between Titanfall, Dark Souls 2, Infamous, Deception IV Blood Ties, Final Fantasy X HD I’m hoping I can smash out MGS next Thursday night in one go. Not to mention House of Cards + True Detective catchups.
Finally has the last of us so giving that a whirl.
I must admit this makes me a little jealous, I would love to play TLoU again with fresh eyes.
PvZ Garden Warfare. Cannot. Stop. Chomping. People.
Gimme all the stickers!
Love that game, so much fun.
Hearthstone, thoroughly addictive and light
Elder Scrolls Online Beta for me. And a little Secret World.
Importing my Steam library to my new desktop PC – put TF2 on last weekend and it runs like a dream!
Other than this BF3 is in the tray – but seems to be winding down 🙁
