I need to play the original Dark Souls, but modding it for PC seems like an awful lot of effort.

Reminds me, Bloodbourne is out soon isn't it? Though it might be PS4 exclusive at first that's the 'gothic horror' game by the Dark Souls guys, getting pretty good reviews!

Yeah, PS4 exclusive.  Playstation seem to be getting the actually good exclusives, between that and The Last of Us.  I'm still more annoyed by exclusives than I am tempted to buy a PS4 though.

Demolition Squid

They're mostly timed exclusives these days so... eventually it'll probably make its way onto PC if it does well.

Since they changed the code base of the consoles to be much closer to PC I'm told it takes way less effort now to make great ports (which really shows in Xenoverse, weirdly, where the 'port' was released at the same time and is just better in every way than the console version) so hopefully it won't be long.

Hah, they said the same thing about Inquisition....although it looks like most of the patches have fixed that terrible PC port.

Which reminds me, I still need to do a playthrough of that.  I think I had the Shadowplay settings as good as they can get...so I'll try that this weekend.

boodborne is unlikely to be ported as it is a collaboration between from software and Sony, but hopefully this is not the case.

Timed exclusives are ok, but I cant stand permanent platform exclusives in this day in age.

I couldn't stand it in the middle ages either, it's just fukken annoying.

If the Borderlands Handsome Collection wasn't coming out next week i'd be seriously considering ESO. As it is, I think i'll save the money (been making some impulsive and ill-considered game purchases this year (Evolve, zombie army...)) and get Borderlands instead. I can't wait to replay BL2 and experience the pre-sequel for the first time.

The story is terrible, the writing is atrocious, some of the game mechanics are laughable...

... but goddamn it is fun! It gets a huge buy from me for the nostalgia factor, though.

Team Four Star Plays is pretty hilarious. In fact, if you haven't seen it, Dragonball Z Abridged is pretty fantastic too because it is both funny AND a superior version of the story from the show too! A good way to kill a few hours.

The Saiyan Saga was unfunny, the Frieza Saga got some chuckles out of me, but the Cell Saga was too damn good. God damn it Vegeta!

Demolition Squid

I like it all, but it has gotten consistently better... I think because they are relying on in-jokes and callbacks to the show much less as they hit their stride. My favorite episode is still 20 - Namekimania 2011. :D

The latest movie they did was hilarious, too.

I've been mainlining souls for over a month.

Finished dark souls 2, finished dark souls one and played it again up to the point where I could kick Lutrek off the cliff. And I've started into Demon's souls.

I have a problem.

Problem? I think you mean "playing the correct video games."

Cainad,
Also has a problem.

I've got friends into this Dark Souls. I'm really glad I don't have a tv or game system anymore or I'd be playing rather than eating or otherwise supporting life functions.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Wow, onto your third or so new game +?
I packed it in at 70 hours on Ng+ after kicking Lutrec of the cliff, it felt like  good place to step off.

I just had my line manager take my hand and "jokingly" slap it, like you would with a naughty child.
