Naruto Faction Chat Thread #9 [A Storm of Swords]

This would be cruel to all you Nintendo fans.

Namco Bandai Games and From Software have revealed some more information about the upcoming Dark Souls 2, indicating that the sequel will be boldly breaking away from its predecessor in several key aspects. Perhaps fittingly for a game in which you control an undead warrior, most of these changes are coming to the death mechanics. Now, instead of going back to a bonfire, characters who die will immediately revive right near where they died. Players will no longer need to chase down bloodstains with the risk of losing a lot of soul and humanity, and will instead be penalized with a loss of 5% if their soul and one point of humanity with each death. Enemies will not reappear when the player dies, so this should make progressing through the game much easier.

A spokesman for From Software provided a lot of the developer's thoughts on this dramatic change. "Finding the right balance between giving dedicated players a fun challenge and making it actually possible for normal people to beat one of our games has been very difficult for us in the past. As a result, we decided to look into a lot of new ways to provide a different kind of challenge with Dark Souls 2, and we've been looking at a lot of other games for inspiration. One game in particular, Kirby's Epic Yarn, has been lauded for its perfect level of challenge, so we've decided to incorporate many of its creative ideas into our game. We hope everyone enjoys this new direction for the Dark Souls franchise."

Along with the revelation about the changes to death, more was revealed concerning the multiplayer aspects of the game. Naturally, players will still be able to give each other hints and enter into each other's worlds as Phantoms, but there have been some changes from before. Hints will be moderated to prevent abuses such as tricking people into jumping off of cliffs, and now a player cannot invade another's world as a Black Phantom without express permission. Finally, to "make a Black Phantom invasion less stressful," Black Phantoms are now automatically equipped with pink balls of yarn as their only weapon.

R.I.P Dark Soul's Series

well beat that 2nd playthrough on PMD:Gates to Infinity....can never get over these tracks from PMD....the "Never Forget" tracks are amazing every time I hear them. So a powerful piece of music.

Thinking of replaying Phoenix Wright games lately. Need a refresher anyway since we'll be seeing the next within the next year or so

Hahahaha, made me lol so hard, yet I really liked the experience the only negative of playing drunk is you don't care about the ink tapes therefore I spent the last save I had available saving on top of my other save, which kinda screwed up my game a little, but yeah I can always go back and look for more stuff ink tapes included, game is so good tho

@Sai Apparently from what I read the new AA 5 is supposed to have Apollo in it having some role. So I guess playing AA 4 wouldn't hurt and leave less questions

Eh, well its not really surprising because of how Apollo Justice ended. Personally I felt the whole Apollo Justice thing necessary, and honestly it if wasn't canon it wouldn't change the story, since it is canon it changed quite a bit from the main series.

well, you heard wrong, the wooden sword makes enemies dissappear, but you can't zandatsu them with it, which means getting an A or S rank is really hard

and yeah the EU is really bad regarding work atm

that's what they make public but I can tell you is way beyond 20% I'd say 40

As of November it's 26,6%, but seeing as there's a conservacunt in power I recon it's worse.

Spain is about 26.3% and Greece is 26.4% something like that. Germany is at 5.4% and USA is 7.7%. keep it up Germany.

Germany's close to a recession so it's gonna go up in the coming years.

That's fucked

Great 11 minutes of the Daily Show. Damn dictatorships! This is why I hated the whole Arab spring, only religious zealots rose to power both in Lybia and Egypt...
