I heard about Demon's Souls as it first hit the market and how it was supposed to be one of the hardest games ever, so cold and unforgiving regarding any mistake you might make. So around new years, a few weeks ago, I picked it up and had an amazing experience. It didn't take me long to get the hang of it, sidestepping, moving in and out on your enemy to have him try and attack and miss etc.

It did take me a good 20+ something hours to finish the game (might've been 30+,although I left the game on even if I went out for 30 minutes a few times a week), and I played it through almost two more times after that with two new characters.

Just about two weeks ago I bought Dark Souls because there was no way I was missing out on what is a sequel to one of the best games ever made. I'm close to finishing it off and I must say that it surpasses Demon's Souls by far!

These games are not really suited for casual players with a severly limited time to dedicate to gaming. Unless you possess a couple of these traits: timing, patience, know-how, and actual brains this game is going to beat you to a pulp. Running into fights sword blazing doesn't work here, you will get slaughtered. Instead, study your enemy. Hold up your shield to block, close in on your enemy, back off, dodge, roll, etc. to get a hang of what moves your enemy has, and once you know - KILL HIM/HER/IT! Then you move on and repeat what you just did until you can, without any or much trouble at all, kill everything inbetween 2 bonfires, so you make some progress!

Reading about that guy who was stuck after the tutorial for several hours had me both smiling and face-palming. Make sure not to aggro too many enemies at once, but if you do, back off and then handle them. You already tried it? Not enough. Still getting ganged up on? Stop running and look everywhere before you move ahead. Adjust your camera to peek around corners. Always enter a new room with your shield up!

I want people to experience the awesomeness that is Dark Souls (and Demon's Souls)! Anryone can learn the basics of these games, it's only a matter of will. Scientists have monkeys talk sign language, and they can even ask for food and talk about the weather. If you cannot learn to press the button that shields your face when a sword flies towards it.. Wow.. Just wow.. If you're uneager to sit down and spend time making progress and learning the mechanics of this game, you're bound to have a shitty experience with millions of deaths and many headaches on your chest.


TL;DR
Spend some time playing and learning the basic mechanics to fucking conquer this bitch or fail miserably at this and many, many other games.. and life in general.

What I like about this build is the constant flow of rage in and out. You're supposed to mow down everything that gets in your way and not run away from your foes.

I love the way Seismic Slam looks, and I want to bring in the classic D2-barb-feel by using Whirlwind with life leech. Calling down your bros from the sky is gonna be a sweet addition to your already overpowered, immense might.

LMB: Cleave (Gathering Storm, enemies cleaved movement speed reduced)
RMB: Whirlwind (Blood Funnel, crits restore hp)
1: Seismic Slam (Stagger, chance to stun enemies)
2: Revenge (Retribution, inceased damage)
3: Battle Rage (Info the Fray, chance to regenerate extra Fury)
4: Call of the Ancients (Madawc's Madness, Madawc gains Seismic Slam)

Passives:
Weapons Master
Bloodthirst
Unforgiving

Battlefield 3.

It still comes with loads of stuff. An artbook, a mousepad(??), the soundtrack, the actual game(!), awesome wings for your character, ????, etc.

Something that has had no official releasedate cannot have been delayed. Aiming for something is not the same as saying that something will happen at a fixed time/place.

Some might be inclined to disapprove with a $200 daily limit, but I for one won't.

Does it go both ways, meaning you can't spend more than $200 a day, nor can you sell items for more than that sum of money?
Keep in mind that even with such a limit, if you're able to cap it out 22 days of 30, that's $4400 (roughly 30'000 Swedish Crowns), just about 10k more than an average monthly wage in Sweden. Even after taxes and such, you'll be able to cash out a huge amount of money.

I just see this as a possibility to maybe make a few dollars a month, while I'm enjoying an awesome game that will keep me busy for hours on end.

The chances are, that if you do disapprove with this and argue strongly against it, you plan on setting up some kind of business selling items, or even make a living doing this. Not something I'd really recommend for the time being since we don't know how the RMAH will play out.

This is brilliant. Kudos to you and Blizzard for doing this!

Old.

Thanks, Blizz. Always good to know Europe has your full support and not the other way around. Oh, wait...

Mistake...Tyeah...suure.
I understand they dont want to release a bugged game, but thats what patches are for. Postponing the release pisses off more people than occasional bugs so why bother

[sarcasm]
So many true facts! What do we do?!
[/sarcasm]

I feel sad for the people, fans actually, who actually believed this to be true. It shows they know nothing about Blizzard and they have to learn to look for information. "IT'S TRUE!!1 IT WAS STATED AS SUCH ON TEH INTERNETS!!1!!".

GL man!

Also... WHO? "Boubouille from MMOChampion".

Dieing? I think you mean dying.
