I like Dark Souls 2 more than the first one but I would still suggest playing them in order if at all possible.

Mainly because the user friendliness (as far as it goes with Souls anyway) increases with each game making it hard to go back. It's not impossible, I went back and finished Demon's for the first time recently but I definitely struggled with some aspects.

Now there'll be some quiet in this town.
With that in mind, definitely play Dark Souls 3 last. Not only does it have some of the best level design and multiplayer in the series, but it has so many convenient features that make it really hard to go back to the old ones.

Even then it's fantastic watching named orcs come back disfigured in the ways you killed them last time. Stux is just famously wrong about pretty much everything.

It's v. good as long as the unnecessarily brutal death scenes don't bother you.

I've never gotten this complaint. Tomb Raider's no worse than any other modern game in that regard. Go play Until Dawn and then get back to me.

All the other games that do it are supposed to be horror games though, not a pulpy action adventure.

It didn't really bother me but it did some people and I can see where they're going from and I'm glad the second one toned it down.

a system that only works when u die often in a game that isn't hard isntn fun, it's redundant and pointless.

Yeah a few days ago I bought Oxenfree with Paypal through the internet website, it told me that the payment method failed or whatever, when I tried again it said "You are not eligible to purchase this content", then I went on the actual PS store with my PS4 and Oxenfree was able to be downloaded without purchasing.

Weird. In my case the system simply rejects Paypal.

Going to the store through my PS4 returns that "The credit Card isn't valid" error while the webstore tells me the transaction can't be completed and that I try later or use the PS4 store.

Goddamit Sony, why you make so hard giving you money? :argh:

The PSN store freaks out like that sometimes, if you're in a position to buy pre-paid codes from Amazon or somewhere that's probably your best bet.

The scenes are quite excessive, watch eg. Conan O'Briens "review" to see for yourself. The tone of the game is sometimes Indiana Jones and sometimes like Saw.

In any case, the game itself is great and those scenes didn't bother me too much. I just double dipped the definite edition for PS4 and it's quickly becoming one of the rare games I've completed twice, I'm already at the end game after a weekend.

I just hard a weird situation today where PSN wouldn't take my card for my PS+ subscription but going to the account page on Sony's website I was able to add funds to my wallet and then pay for it out of there.

Edit: Awesome, I just checked my email and despite getting an error message stating that they couldn't process my first charge they actually did.

Avoid the Square Enix store. Their bundles are terrible, their sales are terrible, and their shipping prices are ridiculous. I should mention too that their packaging is garbage, with no padding or care taken for any of their larger objects -- no bueno
