If you only played Ico for 20 mins you can easily go back and pick it up again without having to remember that much about the storyline, really worth playing through both games while waiting for Fumito Ueda's next one.

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
On Batman: I played the first and loved it. A little bit of rinse and repeat (in my opinion most games are.) Not so much it bothered it. It gave you a nice feeling of being Batman with some limitations.
That said, the second really ramps it up. I'm only like 5% in too. There's lots more side missions, the Riddlers part is a little more involved, and you can follow the main plot or hit multiple side missions OR just stalk around and jack up thugs. You REALLY get a good "I'M BATMAN!" feeling out of it. I can get lost in the damn game. The first feels like a demo almost of this. Like Assylum was just a test for this game. Again, I'm only like 5% in too so I can't wait to see what else comes up.

I'm 19% in, and I feel like I've done so much already; thinking that I still have 81% of the game left makes it the best PS3 purchase I've ever made. I like picking random henchmen to beat up, but fuck me sidesaddle if you don't freak out a little when you have to fight Solomon Grundy!

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
GAH SPOILER ALERT DUDE! I didn't KNOW about Grundy yet! My friend let a few other villains slip, I was so pissed. He was like "it's in the commercial" but I don't watch TV w/commercials GAH! I thought he MIGHT be in it but wasn't 100%. Damn, cool that he is though, aahhhhahaha! They've really slammed in a TON of villains.

It could change, in the future, but for now I'm ok playing solo & possibly getting a random invader.

The Dark Souls world is so good that you'd really love to co-op without all the hassle (and I'm sure that the challenge would still remain high with the likes of the capra demon).

I wasn't considering picking this up but reading your comments is making me change my mind (and I'll finish up adding another title to the endless pile of games I should be sooner or later finding time to play)

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Batman is freakin awesome. I've played for a few hours just roaming around, picking off inmates and finding riddler trophies. Look at my completion and I'm at 0% total?! Granted I've done close to nothing story wise. It's just so awesome to get lost and try and find random tidbits here and there.

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?

Played Dark Souls all weekend . . . this game drains me . . . even dreamt of it . . . got cursed today and need a couple of thousand souls to get it removed. Oh well . . .

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
^^^ That sucks, I hope you've had it at least since launch period and played the hell out of it, I wasn't aware of PS3 freezes. I still have an xbox I hardly use and had it replaced twice due to similar issues but my PS3 hasn't fucked up... yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I didn't find it annoying but I also really enjoyed all the fights and the parts where you stalk the armed baddies. I can see how someone might. In City there is a bit more variation. For one it's a little more of an open world. There's lots of side missions, some are as dumb as "find all of these things around the city" and some are more involved like "you have 2 minutes to find a victim" or "use forensics to look for evidence to solve the mystery of the assassin." Also, the fights are back and they try to make them interesting. Other then always adding some extra element of danger (like a thug with better weapons or monsters, which they do) sometimes there's 1 guy you shouldn't totally whoop down on because he has info and you need to knock out all the rest first to interrogate him. Like I said, Assylum I loved but felt like a demo to City being the full on thing.

Re: Which Video Games Are You Currently Playing?
Sounds good, I will rent it to check it out when or better if I made it through Dark Souls.

Especially considering that the only reason why I made it through Demon's Souls is because another player helped me out with the last dragon. If I don't summon another player for the capra demon I'll need to grind for hours before I can even start fighting him melee.

If I don't summon another player for the capra demon I'll need to grind for hours before I can even start fighting him melee. When I first encountered the Capra Demon I felt despair! I was dead within the first 10 seconds. But do not get intimidated! He is a piece of cake once you killed the dogs! I beat him on my 3rd attempt! Spoiler: Try to kill the dogs right when you enter the fog. Then run up the stairs to the left. If one dog is left, kill it on top of the stairs. There is a small walkway to the right on top of the stairs - go there and wait. The Demon will eventually follow you but you have enough time for a flask. If he comes for you wait till he is really close and then drop down. He will take 2-5 seconds to drop down too. Learn this pattern - he will drop down and stand there with his back exposed to you. Hit him a few times. Then raise your shield and run up the stairs. Repeat. Really, as soon as the dogs are dead, he should be no problem. hope this helps, tom PS: My dex build was about level 22 when I did this.

Everytime I enter that room I'm dead in a handful of seconds But yes the dogs are a pain and need to be taken care of

So glad I never actually got cursed. I keep thinking about visiting the guy in the bell tower to just have a curse cure (at a reasonable cost) just in case... but I never go back & buy it Capra Demon sucked originally, but I can't imagine navigating that space AND effectively dodging if I was crammed in there with a summoned player too. That space is just too small for me to comfortably tackle a boss in - and the range of my Estoc made dog killing total bullshit
