I keep myself purposely delevelled. What SL were you when you finished & started NG+? I've still yet to break SL65 on any character.

I'll stop pretending like it wasn't completely my fault I think I finished at SL108. I was lucky enough to score a Black Knight Halberd in the basin and just had to go on a good bit of a grind to get the stats for it (32 STR and 18 DEX for 1-handed)...then later fell back into old RPG habits and got power hungry on further, easy grinding.

I kept telling myself the fact that it's heavy and kinda slow made it less cheap but not really. I totally spoiled my own game experience by not just setting it aside every once in a while. I finished the game with that in one hand and the Greatshield of Artorias in the other (both +5) and still moving around pretty nimbly. fuck that for NG+, I need to strip all my best stuff off and be ballsy about it. maybe even try my hand at some spellcasting with my lone attunement slot and once-ever-leveled faith and INT time will tell

For the first time ever I am on XBox Live playing GOW 3. If anyone wants to add me I am BegottenPrism5, I'm too much sucky to change my tag!

(Un)fortunately not. Been out of town for a month. And I am really slowly working my way through it . . . still so many deaths ahead of me

Has anyone of you guys ever entered a covenant? I am actually hollow all the time so I cannot do much online play anyway but have been thinking about joining one just to see what it means . . .

Yes, I've been thinking of entering the Forest Hunter covenant (mainly because there are no penalties for betraying this group) but I'm sure there are more interesting ones to join. Need to check them properly before deciding.

I am thinking about the dragon covenant - transform your head into a dragon head and spit fire!?! I am just not sure if there are any downsides to this permanent transformation . . .

Wow, I really need to check the covenants, I had no idea there was a similar transformation!!

when you gain enough favor in that covenant you get yet another item that lets you transform even further, but I'll let you find out what all it does. the downside to the transformation is not being able to put on armor but it only lasts until your next death.

Been playing Mario Kart7 for the 3DS, amazing game with zero lag when played online.
If you happen to own a 3DS I would say pick this up!

I'm also interested to know if anyone is playing Saints Row the 3rd. Anyone?

Well Mgs 2&3 were ps2 releases and peace walker was psp. The Japanese version got Mgs 1 as well. They're more special-er than us 'mericans.

And is anyone playing umvc3? I suck at it.

If the US or EU version included the first PSX MGS I would've picked in up on release day. Without it the collection is missing its best moment.

MGS is an awesome game, one of the top 5 on PSX, best 3D game for PSX by a country mile. But MGS 2-3 have some awesome moments. The last battle in MGS3 is one of the greatest PS2 scenes ever.

Please share your "Friend Code" with me - oh my, does that sound ever so silly and lame. . .


You've got that standard controller pad to blame I never picked up UMVC3. I'll just get pwned by endless (literally, endless) combos all day, what's the point? If I know that at least TWO of my friends own the game and will play against me online, it's worth buying. Til then, I massively prefer the fair fighting in Tatsunoko vs Capcom.



Way of White: lowers your odds for red/blue phantoms invading - raised potential for co-op play
Sunlight Warrior: lowers odds for phantom invasions - raises co-op frequency, rewards you with miracles
Forest Hunter: PVP without risks! rewards with upgrade shards/chunks/slabs
Gravelord Servant: the worst PVP experience of your life - rewards with weapon & miracles
Chaos Servant: no PVP flux - rewards with pyromancy and a shortcut
Darkmoon Blade: wonderful PVP - rewards with talisman & miracle
Princess Guard: no PVP flux - rewards with ring & miracles
Path of the Dragon: interesting take on PVP - rewards with Dragon Scales (and transformation)
Darkwraith: unlimited invasions - rewards with sword/armor/shield

Thanks.
Interesting . . .

I may be picking it up next week.

Yep, sticking to the Forest Hunters for the time being, I really need those slabs

I'm playing Dead Island PS3...Veeeerrryyyyyy ssslllooowwwwlllyyyyyy.

Once I have a few more miracles (WoG, Gravelord Sword Dance & Greatsword Dance), one or two Occult weapons, and am around SL85 or more I plan to join the Forest again - strictly to farm chunks and slabs for finishing off some of my weapons before embarking on NG+.

I'm sadly making all Occult weapons, which means I don't come across the needed materials very often in the natural progress of the game. FML. At least at 20 STR & 30 FTH my Divine Claymore +5 already slugs for like 365 AR - can't wait for it to be in the 500+ range.


Wha? Speed-run that shit!

Purchase Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet for 600 MP yesterday...
Fantastic game!

Gmoney, what system are you playin umvc3 on? I play on ps3 but I'm going to get it for 360 soon.

I got a chance to play umvc3 on the vita and it runs perfectly. Really impressed by the vita

I'm on ps3. Psn name is coheed33. I'm really excited for the vita. I need more uncharted and on the go goodness.

Add me on psn: pharcyde

My bro got uncharted for the vita as well. It looks so good.

What team are you using in umvc3? And have you been playing heroes and heralds? That mode is so dumb but fun

Haven't played in about a week so I haven't even gotten h&h update yet. My team is pretty much captain America and then a bunch of other people I suck with. Cap is the only one I can sometimes get things going with. I used to do ok with Morrigan and tron but I've lost the touch. I'm too aggressive for my own good, plus I pretty much never use assists or know how to put together crazy combos using them. I enjoy ssf4 a lot more.

Me too, it's way more fun and not as much button mashing and infinite stupid combos.
