I can't complain to much as I paid 36.99 for it which is the same price as most standard editions.</p> <p>You get an art book and DVD which is nice but having to access the guide and map online is a bit of a pain. I was hoping to download the guide and map onto my tablet so I could use it as some kind of portable futuristic guidebook although it doesn't seem possible.</p> <p>Anyways, I shouldn't grumble as it was still a good price, I just miss having a huge fold out map in my RPGs! :) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095&page=2#post-27428 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 13:56:00 +0000 monkeygourmet 27428@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Yay! </p> <p>Just got mine, installing now, then gonna spend a few hours in character creation! :)</p> <p>See you all in purgatory or where ever the hell this is set! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095&page=2#post-27422 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 12:37:34 +0000 Deacon 27422@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>aah sorry pal!

They seem to have cancelled one of the discount codes I put in, but it still only ended up costing me £28.99.

It's the way the devs wanted it and I respect their convictions because I think it enhances the game. I loved playing DS mostly solo and discussing the game on forums between sessions. Found it much more immersive and atmospheric that way. I realise others would like to play it a different way, but in my opinion this is part of what makes the games.</p> <p>Just one aside - can they block one-on-one private chat on 360? I knew Party Chat was disabled but thought private chat might be un-blockable. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27274 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:06:59 +0000 Ireland Michael 27274@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Lounds, I genuinely hope you're not serious.</p> <p>You're suggesting "Plug headset into controller" versus "Get laptop, plug unique headset into PC, log onto Skype, and *then* create voice chat conversation".</p> <p>What about those with desktop PCs, who don't have laptops?</p> <p>If people are going to be playing games together, they're gonna be in party chat anyway, so that they can send invites to each other's games and stuff. Your suggestion is ridiculous, and far more convoluted. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27273 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:41:47 +0000 Deacon 27273@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>As Lounds said, if people really must chat to their mates whilst playing, it's pretty easy to find another way.</p> <p>I hate all these people who bash the PS3 for not having cross-game chat. I mean sure, for some games it's awesome, but (for me at least) I can't think of anything worse than sitting playing a game whilst having some random mate gabbering away at me over a headset or through my TV. Yet, this seems to have become the norm with a lot of people.</p> <p>Maybe I'm antisocial. Maybe I love to be fully immersed in a good game.</p> <p>I definitely commend From Software's stance on this. This isn't WoW. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27270 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 08:20:03 +0000 Ge0force 27270@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@monkeygourmet: I also spent about 60 hours in Demon's Souls, but when playing Dark Souls I feel such a noob :p</p> <p>I even died a few times in the tutorial :/ </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27266 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:43:15 +0000 Lounds 27266@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Don't most people have laptops?</p> <p>Why can't they have a laptop with a headset plugged in, with skype installed and talk while playing with the xbl mates&gt;?</p> <p>Ooooo that was difficult. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27265 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 22:33:37 +0000 lexph3re 27265@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I get your point Monkey about giving you the features and options you pay for. But, with Dark Souls they are assuming that when You buy their game that you are willing to be violated. The exclusion of cross chat and PChat is soley towards the Devs stating they don't want it in their game. It doesn't have anything to do with Ps3 being the lead platform. The ninja gaiden 2 limbs being removed also had nothing to do with ps3's performance. Team ninja just wanted The Sigma series to be different. (granted the additional bosses and different character models.) </p> <p>Those are Devs decisions to implement more to their games. I honestly just know a lot of people claimed they were buying this for 360 because that's where their friends are playing. And, I always chuckled because that's just not what the games are about. So, I was wondering if cross chat really is that important to people that they would miss out on such a beautiful game of pain and anguish. I honestly hope not because these games really need some support. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27261 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:01:32 +0000 monkeygourmet 27261@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@ lexph3re</p> <p>Just been reading a few forums regarding this, LOL!</p> <p>people are going mental about this which is a bit of a suprise.

I would just like the feature available as an option, it wouldn't hurt to have the feature in as you don't have to use it if you don't want too... It's not like it's cutting into development time or anything. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27255 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:22:30 +0000 Gekidami 27255@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>^ And i meant cross game chat. No, the PS3 cant do it. No, it has never stopped a game on 360 from having it. Thats why your conclusion is stupid. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=5095#post-27254 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:20:25 +0000 monkeygourmet 27254@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I said 'Cross-Game' chat:</p> <p><a href="http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/19/cross-game-chat-isnt-possible-on-ps3-due-to-ram-restrictions/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/19/cross-game-chat-isnt-possible-on-ps3-due-to-ram-restrictions/</a></p> <p>mind you, i don't use the chat feature on my PS3 so maybe i don't know everything about it.
