Aww shit son, I've been playing Dark Souls too a lot and I mean a lot. Played for roughly 20 hours the last weekend and have been getting most of the weapon upgrade achievements, both on the PC version and the Xbox version. Also finally started the Artorias of the Abyss DLC and killed Sanctuary Guardian, was pretty easy. I made a sorcerer character on the Xbox version and started collecting all the miracles and sorceries since I'm missing that achievement and it's not too hard to get them all. I also played a lot of co-op with my friend, helped him out in the beginning and showed him a few good weapons, brethren before wenches motherfucker.
I also downloaded the Soul Sacrifice demo for the Vita. Weird game. I heard some say it was similar to Monster Hunter, but I don't think it is really. It's about killing disturbing looking huge monsters with all kinds of different magic abilities and special weapons and then either sacrificing or saving their true human forms. If you sacrifice them, you get a huge magic level boost and maybe some items (?), but if you save them, you get their human forms as your NPC partners and get a big life level boost. I like the character/enemy design, the art-style and the different styles of magic abilities but the game also feels very limited. It's not open world, the magic abilities won't last forever unless you constantly re-new them and there don't seem to be any different sorts of missions other than slaying bosses or optional monsterslaying missions. The story is told through a weird demonic journal who can speak. As I said, weird game.
Oh yeah and Mac, would you say Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is a good game to pick up on the PSN store? I was considering it, but I'm not sure if it's up my alley. I wouldn't have any other friends to play it with and I haven't played the other games in the series, how easy is it to get into? It looks good.
