[KZObsessed]

Games/Demos: -Nothing 2: David Reeves' Adventures in Douchebaggery

:lol :lol

Great update for us UKers.

[Wollan]

I made a summary of this weeks happenings:

[Keyser Soze]

First Impressions

Nothing 2: David Reeves' Adventures in Douchebaggery is quite the amazing game. Its intent on aggravating the player to the point of driving him to madness shines through at almost ever corner you turn. You want to love the game, but its shear incompetence makes it hard to do so. Yes, there is something here you would want to love, but it is burred deep down. Only true fans of the genre will have nice things to say about this one. However, it is likely many of these problems will be fixed for the US and Japanese release, so please don't feel downhearted!

One step ahead of you Wollan. :)

[WoWcraft]

I want that calendar.

[Pistolero]

United Kingdom Games/Demos: -Nothing 2: David Reeves' Adventures in Douchebaggery

Awesome ! :lol

[ukiraros]

The banners are awesome as usual and I feel sorry for Phil, Atari couldn't even spell his last name right.

[stawnkald]

:lol @ banner.

The NIN pack is mine. Too bad Closer isn't in it, just for the singing. Yes, what family entertainment with such lyrics as "I want to fuck you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside"!

As an FYI the 360 got a new Guitar Hero 3 song pack, the No Doubt pack...but given the track record that doesn't instantly mean they'll be on PSN today, though it's possible.

[Bootaaay]

There seems to be some Hot Shots Golf 5 DLC on the JP store, ¥500. Can anyone with an understanding of moon language tell me if it's just a new character, or the new Australia course too? I've only got ¥600 and need to decide between the HSG dlc or the Dark Mist dlc :(

[Arsenic]

Banner's great as always. But Phil looks so lonely :[

[McLovin]

:lol I'm getting good at this.. only took me 30 seconds :lol

[WoWcraft]

woot Vol2 ACfA trailer! Hope it's the right one.

[krypt0nian]

Woo! NIN WEEK!

[FirewalkR]

That's by far the best banner yet. Chubigans totally rules. :lol

[kaleii]

:lol :lol :lol at the banner.

Welcome Phil Harson. :D

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

:lol Awesome.

[Laguna X]

Wow. I hope that UK update is in no way indicative of what we'll be seeing in the NA store.

[Steroyd]

Nothing 2: David Reeves' Adventures in Douchebaggery

:bow

Laguna X, there's a huge gulf of a difference between the EU and US store, I wouldn't worry about it.

[McBradders]

BOHICA, Europe... BOHICA :(


Also; this weeks banner is the all time greatest.

[fanboi]

BOHICA, Europe... BOHICA :( Also; this weeks banner is the all time greatest.

No, the greatest was the one with Yakuza... still to this day, I cant find it :|

[levious]

Look at banner Phil!

Atari love Phil!

[Pimpwerx]

Poor Phil. :( Love the EU game releases this week. :lol Once again, tanod's thread makes my Thursday. :) PEACE.

[Madman]

:lol Great banner.

[Ranger X]

Dark Mist US

[Spank_Magnet]

2 trailers?!?!?!
2 TRAILERS?!?!

Man alive! That's one hell of an awful update.

[kaching]

'shop Hirai and Kutaragi a closer together in that picture, take the PS3 out of ken's hands and you could almost have a replacement for the wrestlers. /blasphemy

[Erebus]

Anyone knows if Nothing 2: David Reeves' Adventures in Douchebaggery is any good? :lol

[Synless]

COME ON CASTLEVANIA CHRONICLES

I agree with this man!!!

[kassatsu]

DLC: -Dark Mist Expansion Pack - ¥500 (4-player online multiplayer)

I hope that is added day 1 with the US release.

[kaching]

Honestly, only one sequel to DRAID? I thought SCEE had been milking that one for much longer.

[tanod]

Thanks to goldrusher again. OP updated. :lol

Sorry Europe :(

Honestly, only one sequel to DRAID? I thought SCEE had been milking that one for much longer.

It was originally supposed to come out last year but got repeatedly delayed.

[Bootaaay]

DLC: -Dark Mist Expansion Pack - ¥500 (4-player online multiplayer)

Eh, just bought this and was suprised to see it was only 168kb - once I started Dark Mist it detected I didn't have the latest data and began downloading the actual Depths of Darkness expansion which is over 900mb o.O It must be quite a sizeable expansion. Anyone know if the 3 new characters it adds can be played in single player as well as multiplayer?

[jvm]

Has DRAID been rated by the ESRB yet? I can't find it and I really want a U.S. release...

[belvedere]

I can't wait to DL the KZ2 and LBP betas today hahaha it's going to be soooooo great

*Drinks own pee*

[Tailzo]

Thank you for another great thread, Tanod.

[MrNyarlathotep]

Just noticed this, didn't before:

-Super Puzzle Fighter HD was updated with voice chat, European language support

WAT

F U capcom. Srsly.
