Me neither. I'm more excited for this DLC than I am for most of the new games coming out. Praise the sun!

HarryMasonHerpderp4239d ago

Well said Blastoise!

Praise the sun!

Nevers4239d ago

Praise the Sun!!!

I'm really excited for this DLC as well. I only recently set this game down to get to my other stockpile of games I needed to play. Those other games are fun, no doubt, but I still itch to play Dark Souls.

well s**t... i guess i have to pick up another copy of the game since i traded it in a long time ago assuming that there'd be no DLC for this game (since there wasn't anything for the other souls game).

Same here. I'm just pissed because I was under the impression, according to numerous interviews, that there was absolutely NO dlc plans (not even a world-based timed event like Demons Souls during Halloween). After getting the plat for it, I thought that was it... Oh well, ill pick it up again if/when it becomes a GH like Demons Souls or used for about the same price.

TopDudeMan4239d ago

okay, so after that comes out, they can start working on the next game, right?

Lucretia4239d ago

yep. i think its already being made actually. but production slowed down for the pc version of dark souls to be made

Swiggins4239d ago

As much as I'd like a new Souls game here and now, I think they should do one more DLC for Dark Souls, maybe something on Gwyn's firstborn.

Then they should release the next Souls game on the next gen of consoles so we can die over and over again in glorious super graphics! :D

"Gwyn's firstborn"

**SPOILERS**

You mean Solaire?

Swiggins4239d ago

That was never actually confirmed, and according to the various Lore Masters around the internet, it could be Solaire, it could be Andre of Astora. I think it's Solaire as well, he just fits the part, but I think a DLC where you help him reclaim his godhood would be very cool, and you could get some decent miracles out of it as well (something this current expansion has none of).

TopDudeMan4239d ago

It wasn't confirmed but the fact that the miracle "sunlight blade" was left at gwyn's tomb by gwyn's firstborn sort of proves it. Sunlight blade. Solaire then founded the warriors of sunlight covenant. It has to be him. Plus, you get the sunlight spear if you offer gwyn's soul to the altar. I don't think it could be anyone else.

And yeah, that'd be pretty cool, but I don't see them doing it. And it annoyed me that no new miracles were added.

Locksus4239d ago

Ah, I really cannot wait ;_; it's over a month away. *sigh*
I've already beaten Dark Souls a few times and can't wait to sink my teeth into it again ^_^

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
