What worked really well for me was the Black Gulch area just before The Rotten. You clear the entire thing one time, destroying all of the statues to avoid being poisoned all the time. Then when you use the bonfire to reset your spawns, the statues stay gone and you can clear it with ease...

Awesome thanks, Vac. I hate moving on if I feel like I've missed something somewhere. Which is ironic because the likelyhood is that I've missed a lot of things somewhere...

Question for those further along in the game:

That's cool that you're seeing invasions though. Outside of the Belfry, Pharros', and that place where you fight the Rat Vanguard (all Grey Phantom convenant based encounters) I've yet to be invaded by a single soul in any area of the game. I spent some time as a Blue Sentinel as well and have...

Fighting Mirror knight solo without spells is seriously no joke, but so much fun! Haven't had a player spawn from his shield yet...I wonder if that's not really working yet along with invasions. Fight would be even crazier with a real person in the mix too.

If you have a morbid curiosity - you can give it another shot solo. If you've killed the Smelting Demon, you can go back to where you killed him and Pursuer will be there. If you want to kill him (he drops a nifty ring) you're forced to do it solo this time, no gimmicks and I'm fairly certain...

Great Scythe is in this game. I'll spoil the location and you can choose for yourself if you want to know.

Didn't look like anyone answered your first question, so I'll give you my version: I found the gargoyle boss after the Ruin Sentinels as well, and still haven't been able to beat them so I continued moving on. I believe the gargoyle boss (bell tower) can only be accessed using a pharros...

Just had my first game freeze. Was walking around a random area of the Doors of Pharros when I suddenly got summoned as a grey phantom for no discernible reason. next thing I knew I had some guy chasing me and right when we were about to engage, boom, frozen. *sigh* no idea if I'll be able to...

I'm probably blind, but where the heck does Rosalina go in the main hub area after you save her from petrification and give her some panties to wear?

Ahh interesting. I'm not sure I ever would have noticed that.

Has anyone figured out what the coffin is meant for back in the tutorial area (Things Betwixt)? It's by those two fatwalrus guys on the beach. You climb in an get a loading screen and then you just hop back out again in the same place. Respawned everything like a bonfire would. I tried...

Oh also a tip: If you want to seriously pad the worldwide death timer, travel to the first Sinner's Rise bonfire from anywhere and walk away. Did that earlier without realizing those fucking archers will drop you over and over from the fire.

I'm really digging the way that the estus flask was handled this time. Between the initial low-use rate and the diminishing health bar it's made the game a lot more challenging and I always get a rush whenever I find a estus shard or a dust bone thing. I didn't seem to have too much trouble...

Three. Fucking. Days.

Should be starting any moment. Might tune out early if it starts to get spoilery.

Different strokes, I guess. I loved Imfamous 1 and 2, and especially Festival of Blood. This was the game that sold the system for me. Can't wait.

Takes a bit of fiddling and the control scheme for it isn't super obvious, but once I figured out how to make the virtual mouse pop up with L1+R3, resizing and relocating the chat boxes became a breeze. Plus you can increase the font size in the chat options. R3 clicking all of the windows in...

My understanding is that it's the best in the series across all platforms. Kind of breaks the mold of your FPS expectations. Having not played it myself yet, I couldn't really speak to that, but the vast majority of writeups for it online are incredibly positive.

Killzone: Mercenary for $9.00? Yes please. I may finally put down and pick up Walking Dead to see what all the fuss is about too. Also, Needless, Limbo is a good buy for that price. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

A little late to the answer on this question, but yeah - From Soft definitely made the King's Field line of games. I played the hell of that series during the early Playstation years. Dark and oppressive atmosphere, challenging and unforgiving difficulty, no clear path or direction with...

I can't remember ever going back and running through DLC content. That said I probably will be making an exception when they release the single player Ellie story for TLoU.

I put together a list for NA: PS4 - Resogun PS4 - Contrast PS3 - Uncharted 3 PS3 - The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection PS3 - Borderlands 2 PS3 - XCOM: Enemy Unknown PS3 - Demon's Souls PS3 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution PS3 - Battlefield 3 PS3 - Vanquish PS3 - Sleeping Dogs...

Oh yeah - I probably should have specified. This is an EU list. I should look into making an NA list.

Anyone who's still on the fence regarding the value of Sony's PS+ model, here's a list of all the games that were made available for free through the service this past year: Bioshock 2 - PS3 Mortal Kombat - PS3 Guardians of Middle Earth - PS3 Jet Set Radio - Vita Pinball Arcade - Vita...

Question for some experienced folks on here: I've never been much of a headset gamer in the past, always enjoyed my dolby surround behemoth sound when gaming. But more recently I've become more and more interested (with family around) in being able to isolate that sound down to myself. So...

The Vita RPG library is somewhat limited but there are a few gems out there. P4G is fucking fantastic and is the only game (of my 20+ game library) that I actually paid money for. Soul Sacrifice is a lot of fun (though more action oriented) and is free with PS+ as of yesterday. Dragon's Crown...

I'm probably an outlier. I haven't really had a game-worthy PC in nearly a decade now, and do near all of my gaming on consoles/handhelds. The jump from games I consider to be the absolute best of the best on the PS3 (Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls), to what I'm seeing in Killzone on the PS4 so...

I played Road Rash on 3DO for so many hours - the soundtrack was absolutely awesome. Game eventually showed up on PS1 as well - but that original experience on the 3DO was fantastic. I also remember playing some kind of live-action Demonlition Man game that reminded me a lot of those old Sega...

Checked in this morning with my local Gamestop, Walmart, Target and Best Buy and they were all sold out of PS4's. Just got back from Costco and picked up my PS4 bundle and there was no one around. They had a standing stock of a little over 100 or so. Everyone always forgets about Costco...

Didn't pre-order mainly because I'm not interested in any of the launch titles. Never really intended to pick one up until March of 2014 at the earliest anyway. That said, I am going to check out Costco when it opens today to see if I can get their bundle. Picking it up with basically a free...

Wow, November's PS+ offerings are fantastic. I was very close to buying Soul Sacrifice in October to take advantage of the $10 for $50 spent deal and ended up not in the 11th hour. Really kind of worked out for me this way. It's crazy, my Vita game collection is massive now and the only game...

Which is disturbing in and of itself. The answers to some of those questions are given with what feels like a finality you don't typically see in this sort of FAQ. Simply "No" rather than "We may look at this as a future feature." So you're quite right - taken at face value, it definitely...

For those considering 12.5mm drives for the PS4, something to consider:

This is quite possibly the most exciting feature for me. No more waking the lady up in the morning even with volume on the TV marginalized. (We live in a studio)

This is something I could see not being a launch priority. DLNA was introduced to PS3 via a firmware update well after its launch date, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if this was made available on PS4 sometime in the future.

And I might be wrong about this, but those HDD's linked on the previous page were both SATA III and I thought the FAQ mentioned that the PS4 only supports up to SATA II? (Not super tech-savvy, so please correct me if I'm misunderstanding this)

This is more or less where I'm at as well. From the standpoint of principle, it sucks that the PS4 isn't going to be able to play MP3's, Audio CD's or function as a DLNA - but at least for me, I've always relied on other devices to perform these tasks and never my gaming console. Obviously...

And a followup:
