The checkpoints are called bonfires. There are times when there are 2-3 bonfires in one place, and then there are times when there's no bonfire in a place. Some bonfires are hidden. All bonfires are located really far from the boss which means that if you die, you'll have to fight all those enemies you fought before to get to the boss again.

Maybe I will buy it. I have been looking for a new single player game to play on my xbox.

I'm getting a lot better at my freestyle tricks and by tribute i mean sacrifice of a replay for you guys to see

Are you trying to do parkour? Or do you just want to do tricks? It would be really nice if you could do parkour and implement some free-styling.

im just freestyling on the normal area i learned to do new tricks
which is good

Oh man; toribash parkour. I loved running in toribash, was really fun. Too bad I quit the game a long time ago.

Oh and skateboarding; was very good at skate boarding mods :P

I have been trying to learn parkour. It is way to hard for me to get down. I practice for hours on end. I am unable to do a trick and then get back up to run.

It's easier than you think; you just have to think a lot ahead if you're trying to do a specific trick or if you want to be able to do what you want when you want you're just going to have to do the good ol' fashion "study my tori until I can move it anyway I want".

I played the games for a good 3 years before I could do parkour :P

I have invested more time in practice than actual play. I also want to mention that I frequently host servers. You guys should join sometime. I believe I am going to host a betting lobby around 10pm EST

Ah being able to parkour in TB. Those were the days... Sadly I am rusty now...

Btw a trailer came out for Assassin's Creed Unity. But I heard it was onle for next gen consoles and (maybe) PC.
And Danny, don't get Dark Souls unless you are willing to fail countless times and put in the time to work on your player...

Oh yeah, has anyone seen Count lately?
