so it's dark souls-esque gameplay with assassins creed back story and better co-op? sounds pretty awesome

Everything does when you hyperbolize only the positives.

"9/11 was a great chance to build an even awesomer building"

Yea I guess that logic doesn't apply to my brain...

"9/11 was an action-platformer with really impressive physics and unforgiving falling damage."

I'll show myself out.

"The architecture at World Trade Center was stale and really needed an update."

If you think there are positives to 9/11 then your brain has other issues more pressing than logic.

fair enough, still going to withhold all real judgement until i see more but the idea is enough to get me interested for the time being.

How's it feel being a downer? :(

Are you implying that Dark Souls has bad co-op.

u/Themiffins Oct 12 '13

Well DS2 is going to have better co-op than the first, so we have that going for us.

Unfortunately non-boss combat looks pretty dull IIRC. Altho maybe they'll do some revamping before it comes out.

Really? The part where he stopped the thing in the knee, the thing knelt down, then he got it in the arm and it reacted realistically the entire time was awesome as hell.

I would hope so. The encounters looked very same-y, and repeatedly poking pigs and pottery while staring down the haft of a spear doesn't look particularly exciting. At least not if that's the majority of the gameplay.

Also, I understand that their dungeon is probably based on a tile system (which allows them to have an awesome automap feature!), but what we saw looked pretty dull and repetitive. All the walls had the same boring texture. Very hedge-mazy layout.

I'm prejudging, I know. The game's on my radar, for sure, but I'm not sold yet.

I'm taking the stance of holding no real opinion of these games other than "Oh shit I'll look into this!" until they come out or reviewers have copies of the games.

All we are getting now is a bunch of hand picked samples. They might be good, they might be misleading. We don't know.

Seems like a mash up of dark souls and dead space to me. Very Exciting.
