One of the best games i have ever played :)
Connect your PC to your TV! Immersion is EVERYTHING in this game! Turn off the light, turn off your phone, turn your skype/messenger off, buy food, weed, beer in advance!How does playing on a TV help immersion?
When?

I wanted this at first but after seeing the fact that it will be a direct port and the fact that the game was made to frustrate you, I think I'll pass.

Awesome, thanks for the link! <3
Love this game, glad i got my ps3 controller to work on my pc. Allthough it feels laggier than the ps3 version, maybe it is because it is ported from xbox, but i dont really care that much ^^
i think i'll buy this soon. Is tehre a way to attach my regular ps3 controller to pc ? :D
Just took capra demon on first try, I had the LAST line of hp left, and no flasks. You are right, dogs were a bitch, took them out on stairs then danced with the demon. Also rang first bell earlier, kinda confussled where I am supposed to go now :rolleyes:

I'm stuck at a boss....(click to show/hide)
Yes there is, http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_244831&feature=iv&src_vid=-mGA3gcNia0&v=4T-g3uoBHIg pretty simple guide, im playing with my ps3 controller and everything works exactly like on the actual ps3 :Dawesome thanks :)
why is ps3 controller so much better..?
You're crazy. Keyboard and Mouse blew.
I use Motionjoy with my PS3 controller.
Alas, I don't think I'll be buying it right now... I already need a long overdue SSD for this pc and I might run into financial problems.
Anyway, It seems I only lose the DLC experience, is it that good ? They'll probably release it for consoles later, and/or the pc game will decrease in price.
it will come to consoles later this year around november
M&K feels reaaaally awkward, id say a no go. But the game is so awesome, so maybe it is worth it.
Im on my NG+ now, just beat artorias again ^^
So, M&K is a no go? Don't have a gamepad. :cry:
Buy the cheapest one you can get (needs to have analog sticks). Download x360ce and enjoy the game.
Or buy some Logitech/Saitek joypad for 30 euros.
But don't try to play with mouse.
Artorias is the end boss now ? or is it still Gwyn?
Tipse Vennligst ...
Motionjoy / DS3, if you got ps3 or xbow controller, no need to download any program just for xbox, DS3 enables both ps3, ps2, and xbow360. Remember to put the option to xbox360 for DS though.
i need some help setting up my controller to the PC. if you think you can help, message me.
Download motionjoy, download the drivers on motionjoy, select xbox controller and it will emulate that, hit enable and you're done. You don't have to change any of the buttons.yeah i followed all the instructions in the video and everything and the guide on the site aswell. but when i hit enable, nothing happens.
- Go to Drivers Manager, select all drivers, Install all, install and I think restart?
yeah i followed all the instructions in the video and everything and the guide on the site aswell. but when i hit enable, nothing happens.
EDIT: got it workin
Anyone found the new PvP arena yet? Can't wait to try it :mrgreen:
Yes, when you defeat artorias you get to it ^^
And where is Artorias? :P
That feeling when you lose shit ton of souls just because you fell from some random cliff on the way to place where you died...

In the new area, you know who Dusk of Oolacile is? In Darkroot basin you can free her after defeating the hydra, she is trapped inside a golden golem if you follow the left wall. Free her then get to the Dukes archives, where a new crystal golem is spawned right after the first elevator. Kill him, and you get a pendant which allows you to get to the new areas. Simply go back to where you freed Dusk and there will be a mysterious cloudy thingy, which is a teleport ^^
i have killed the "random" placed Golem ( it didnt drop anything?) and there is no cloudy thing there now where its supose to be :/
Duke archives, first after the first bonfire you go up a elevator, there is a crystal golem in the right corner looking towards the wall. He should drop a broken pendant or something, if he didnt you may have to free dusk or something before.
did it all still nothing :/
Why did you not follow him when he ran?
Also I made it to the PvP arena today, sadly I met the same opponent 3 times in a row, and that guy was only using magic which almost 1 hit me every fucking time, why is magic so OP? :cry:
HAH nooooooooob Magic is so easy to dodge : P
3 hours of invading new players in the "curch" :D i was lvl 10 still i did ton of dmg and they did little on me +7 katana Great combustion and great fireball :3 sadly i didnt have "Online Leaderboard on" :/ there goes 21 sins
Finally ready for PvP
Some images of my equips :D(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)(Damn camera flash made me close my eyes on the last pic!)(click to show/hide)

Just had to enter ng++ to join the Darkwraith's, might get some action now :D Goddamn im addicted to this game again -_- everytime i quit i immidiately get a new idea once the game is closed and i have to start it up again and i get stuck for hours again.
What armor is that Tor?
Grass crest shield FTW!
No 100 block :cry:

Uff. PvP is invaded by hackers, like 3 out of the last 10 I've faced had infinite HP & stamina. Y u no protect against hacks, GFWL :(
I was invaded, so quite certain it was the trainer they had used, not the glitch :?
One of them I checked out had sl40 with stats equivalent to a sl100+, he was on the leaderbords :(
Got cursed by the frogs in the Great Hollow, went all the way through with the curse, joined the Dragon Covenant, went all the way back through the Great Hollow, killed Quelaag with 14 Vit while cursed and rang the bell. On my way back to New Londo to tackle with the ghosts. Did I mention I'm playing with the keyboard?

Do you use DSfix 0.6? I heard it can help with mouse jerkiness.
Well it seems like From has fixed most of the issues in PvP, such as the masks have been nerfed, Greatswords have less speed on the second swing so no more stunlocking (atleast not as easily) ninjaflippy ring has been nerfed to only work below 25% weight (love it, finally i can use it and feel fancy because noone else likes it anymore ^^) and hornet ring has been nerfed. Im not sure but i think backstabbing has a tad bit smaller eh hitbox or w/e its called, but like i said not sure.
Good job From, they really seem to be aiming to please their community! :D(click to show/hide)
Having fun in school Nuuk? :P
Have had some good duels now, really enjoy this new wooonderful weapon i found!
Here are some screenies of me PvPing (the loss one was because for whatever reason the other guy decided to heal... couple of guys did this and i really dont know why, they seemed like they were good duellers and its not like i was backstabbing or anything either)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VFXK_7Sz2M This.. this is simply epic. Especially at around 3:38, the teammate keeps hitting him even though he is dead, which procs the miracle. I can only imagine their faces, ROFL!
Just found that Ash Lake place.. Wow, how did these guys keep shitting out awesome areas? :shock:
GreatAxe Best PvP wep ))))) visitors can't see pics , please register or login
You mean Balder Swag Sword, right? right?! :D fought someone with it and he kept healing and buffing it which made it do fucking tons of damage so i had to attack him before he could buff -_-
Baller Swag Sword, all the way. But, yeah. DMB is bad enough, but when thrown in with the 40% damage bonus from the Leo Ring it gets pretty ridiculous. Using a +10 BSS with only the Leo Ring I can easily plant hits doing 550 damage. Using a +15 with a maxed DMB... it's biblical.
My hat goes off to those who can successfully duel with the greataxe or the demon's greataxe, though I have to say; people tend to die if I hit them with my +15 demon's greataxe.
where am I supposed to invade people at lvl 78..? My blue eye orb doesnt give me any luck in anor londo or painted world :(
Try New londo or Duke's archives.
Thinking about making a second character now, capping at lvl 100 probably to PvP in the new arena. Im thinking about either using a greataxe like you guys spoke of, or maybe use the new staff you get from Manus.. I mean that staff looks ridiculously awesome, and i just love the boss too *_* Which should i go for? what do you guys think, or is there any other weapon i should try out? Is the Golem axe any good?

Finally found that PvP arena.. Nice to get matches every minute instead of every 10 8-)i want to see him playing this game without a shield(click to show/hide)
Also, dem americans be mad. Got invaded, I bowed and he took over half my hp away while I was doing it. I thought bowing before a fight was the "thing" to do, but.. Kicked his ass with half hp, then he invaded again, and instantly teleported out;(click to show/hide)
Btw anyone here know if i can change gamertag without losing my saves? Got a random gamertag from the stupid GFWL thingy, this shit is stupid on many levels.
Had the same problem dude, go to C:\Users\BoB\Documents\NBGI\DarkSouls and select the .sl2 in the profile that you were using and copy pasta to new file that was created when you made new profile.
You're welcome.
For some reason it takes up to 5 or 6 minutes to get a fight in the Gazebo, or at least, for me. SL93 at the moment.
Also, tried to summon a few phantoms to take out O&S early with my new character so I could access the DLC stuff sooner and maybe try out the SL 1-50 duels in the Gazebo. I tried over a dozen phantoms and the summoning failed for all but one dude. *shrug*
Things I hate the most in modern games are cutscenes. There's ton of them and they make game look like a bloody movie, and I don't like that. Also, story sucks in most AAA games and I'm always skipping cutscenes.
But I must admit that I would love to see Blizzard style cutscenes and a lot of them in Dark Souls.
NPCs do share some info with you, there are some cutscenes but I had to read wiki for lore.
It's sad that a world like in this game, actually the best since Diablo/Diablo II (Diablo 3 is kiddy crap), isn't explained through high quality cutscenes.
Best depiction of hell ever in video games. With more work put into story and characters, this could be pretty decent movie.
Well, I've heard different opinions about this game, lastly I'm looking for good RPG which is focused on fighting simple and developing your char, but no like Diablo LMB, LMB x 20, RMB. I don't have enough time to read whole topic so, please, could you tell me about it. Yes, yes I've read some review's and they didn't tell me anything ;_;
hmm, currently it is crap. i am still fighting with the controls.
hmm, currently it is crap. i am still fighting with the controls.
i already use one, but it i hard to focus one enemy. i have seen better solutions and not to mention the combat system.
sure to parry and riposte needs timing, but most of the time i wish my char would block when i press block.
What?! Dark souls combat is one of the best! The only problem i've had (ever) with the combat is that sometimes it gets buggy and i can spam roll but he doesnt, then when i press attack he rolls. Happens very rarely, but happens. Other than that i think the combat is pretty much perfect as it is, hard to focus one enemy? How is it hard, and why would you want to focus just one and not attack those who are open for attacks instead?
hmm, for the start a "cylce through targets" option would be usefull.
hmm, for the start a "cylce through targets" option would be usefull.
Press right stick to lock, move right stick to switch targets.
I hope you're using buckler and short sword :P
of course i do.
k, the target switch works, even though it is not really reliable in the heat of the fight.
Also, the online mode lets you be a total douchebag with the gravelord covenant. It's even worse than dark wraiths IMO
Started playing a Claw thief character, havent even finished my Great axe guy >_>
It's just silly mechanic but I guess I'll try that if I ever find myself rolling at an odd angle. I did pretty well invading in the Duke's Archives lastnight. I only lost to one person (although multiple times), they were using some spell from the expansion I didn't recognize that was a fanning purple shot I couldn't seem to dodge. I found out they nerfed the ultra greatswords after narrowly managing to beat some zorro looking balder side sword user.
Dexterity speeds up pyromancy casting time, right?

My Tarkus lost 40% so I killed golem on my own. Would love to see him doing it by himself but no such luck.
It's a good thing Seath is invincible when you first meet him because there's a spot where he can't touch me but I can hit him. I just need fireball big enough :D
Games for windows live sucks :rolleyes:

couldn't we try to do some PvP ? i guess everyone is 100 -120 by now : P ?
I'll bet the modder's sites have donation buttons.
I am attempting to make a low level darkwraith. Beating 4 Kings will be tough. Should I go up to level 15-20, or stay below 10 for maximum douchbaggery?

staying at 35 is better. staying at 20 is for Depths, Undead Parish, Sens Fortress and Blighttown ( you will have a higher chanse of invading at a lvl of 35 + Anor Londo) visitors can't see pics , please register or login
also i had a lvl 10 Darkwraith and it sucks. most ppl dont even have the sins book so you wont get any stats. but if you like invading in the Bell tower its fine :P
Or go where you killed Artorias for some proper PvP :P
I think that picture is sightly outdated. Didn't 1.05 change things a bit?
I mostly want to be around Parish and Sen's Funhouse. Lando is too high of a level for what I want to do.
Invading low levels? Cheap! You should atleast limit yourselves to a like +5 weapon or something to make it interesting.
I don't understand the satisfaction of twinking out and then invading the burg. I started a new sorcerer character because I've gone straight melee all my other playthroughs and I get invaded by some dude who thinks he's badass walking towards me slowly with the dark hand (in the burg). I hit him about 3-4 times and his health bar is barely knicked, then he gets serious with his offense and can't catch me as I hit him a few more times so I just ran away and quit.
Found some binoculars, I know where I am going :lol:(click to show/hide)
Sadly at the bonefire outside the pvp arena I kept getting invaded by the same korean dude. And since he was Korean I had to struggle with terrible lag, and ofc. I got backstabbed when I was 10 meters away.
Also, he was a "wrath of the god" spammer :rolleyes:

Good luck beating the bosses as a newbie without summon help, you pirate ...
Talking about Quelaag:
http://darksouls.nexusmods.com/mods/49
Can't believe someone actually made mod for this -.-
don't think you understand me. I too love the reward for exploration, which is why i'd rather not use walkthrough. so hiding additional extras is awesome, but hiding bonfires makes the game super fustrating without walkthrough. its not the only example of them making it much harder on your first playthrough either.
anyway I just found out I got anal'd for killing ornstien first, I could have had a free dragonslayer spear (cause I found a lightning spear) which I think is one of the best.
seems to me hoplite is the easiest class in darksouls.

Lol, looks like there already is another sunbro clan :o NA only though!
what do you guys think a about a hypothetical mode where:
- nothing respawns when you kill it
- there is no retrieval of souls
cause I was thinking about it at work, and reckon it would make the game alot less repetitive/grindy. but the fact that you always perma lose souls on death, and that you cannot power-level from respawning enemies would still keep the game hard (reasonably).
like I died 30 times to sif, then power levelled a respawning mob, came back and it was piss easy. the soul values may have to be readjusted I suppose.
I praise the current system for being different, but I dont like it. Its not the loss, I like that part alot! alot of my fav games are full loot/permadeath. Its just the killing the same monsters, walking through same areas over and over that I can't stand.
oh yeah and I guess this is a PVE mode, whatever couldn't give 2 shits about pvp in a game like this.

thats what makes the game good after those 30 death you learn new thing and how to act in the area ( 30 is a bit to much lol :P) and then when you finaly kill that boss your like YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAA! mmm damn

so who do you think is the hardest boss? its kind of hard to tell when you are different levels, 'cause they don't scale right?

Dunno about hardest, but for me easiest was Seath. Slightly harder was Artorias, but that was after I figured out I can tank him 2H mode...
Banok l2p Dark Souls
does anyone know much about graphics?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
harder to see in screenshot but in the distance looks like MS paint sometimes. I want to know what effect this is called, so I can try and fix it in my dsfix mod settings.
wtf are you playing a different game to me? you can't tank artorias after he starts buffing up, thats why I had to switch to light to beat him.
and how can you find the bosses like seath hard when you stand next to them and they can't hit you.
seath was only hard in the first encounter LOL (I use my save hacks before bosses to save me time, and I actually spent a while trying to figure out how to beat him on the first encounter ).
I am thinking about getting it cheap through a keyseller for steam but I am wondering if I actually gonna like it... it looks kinda crappy on screens, mods for proper resolution and gfx settings, wonder if it's actually playable/enjoyable with keyboard/mouse and the high difficulty sounds lame to me cuz I rather try to enjoy the story and gameplay on easy than getting frustrated over unfair enemies...
Any suggestions? :3
Is this still played actively? Have it on PS3 but tbh the main reason I play this game is PVP. Put 1200+ hours into the original Demon's Souls pvp, probably my favorite pvp ever besides c-rpg. Dark Souls wasn't nearly as good, but fun nonetheless. Anyways my question is, is this game still active on PC? Because I'd just be buying it for pvp really.

[...]If you enjoy story and easy gameplay go watch a movie instead there you dont even have to press attack button. [...]And the reason you`re an arrogant dick about it is?
And the reason you`re an arrogant dick about it is?
A game is entertainment for me - I don't wanna work too in my spare time... so yeah, I play easy difficulties and I cheat in Singleplayer-games. I don't need to play a hard game to enlarge my e-penis with some achievements, instead I achieve things in real life...
Jesus, why is everyone such a dick about everything in this forum? -.-
Why i am a dick about it is because i dont see any point in playing a game if you are going to steamroll through it just to find out the story or whatever. Then there is no point the game, you wont accomplish anything more than watching a movie which can be done in a shorter time aswell. I dont see how it is entertainment to just left click to victory, it should feel like you are accomplishing something when you win. Dark souls is just that, you will have to struggle through the game, sometimes it may be frustrating but it is so satisfying when you finally complete it that it is all worth it.I actually bought it and I gonna cheat the shit out of it if I think it's necessary. I'm lvl 30 something now and it's way easier than I expected, just mentioning.
Ugh, really, you play a game and remove everything that makes it a game so you can finish it faster.. I.. I just dont see the point. And this doesnt seem to be very uncommon either, many popular games are super easy with fancy storylines making up for the lack of gamefeel.
Do not get dark souls, it is a game made for people opposite of your type if that is the right way to put it.. Or if you do get it, dont cheat through it, play it for what it is, a challenging game. It isnt even that hard, there are plenty of ways you can make certain parts easier. You can read up on strategy guides if necessary.
Awesome sig. Looking forward to dark souls 2, lets hope the new director or w/e it was isnt going to mess the game up (which i doubt ^^).
I actually bought it and I gonna cheat the shit out of it if I think it's necessary. I'm lvl 30 something now and it's way easier than I expected, just mentioning.
Still, my competitive time in gaming is over - and I had a quite successful one I might add - but I am not willing to invest time above a certain threshold into games. One of the reasons I am prolly one of the worst players in this community. And guess what, I don't give a furry rats ass about it. Neither about what you think I should play or not play or which category of gamer you think I am. MI NO CAREZ :P
Have fun and enjoy your boner after defeating some pixels on a screen... 8-)

I made a new char. yesterday level 30, were easy to get through the first boss with the help of Soilare, but wait until you get to Zen's fortress, and the two archer "my old friends" in Anor Londo, anyway, good luck!
Enjoy, it is a good game but there is no point in playing it if you are going to cheat because it is made for those who want difficulty. Its like going to a restaurant and ordering fastfood you dont like so you put on some fancy ingredients to make it taste of nothing instead, theres no point. You said you think its better to achieve stuff in real life instead then you should go do that instead of wasting time on a game you cheat through, i seriously doubt you get any satisfaction/enjoyment out of it.
And btw i do enjoy that boner after defeating some pixels, its the reason i play games and im probably not alone on this. Which is also the main reason i play crpg, heart beats increasing massively as you duel a good duelist or when you fight 1v5 and survive, its epic but i would miss out on all that adrenalin if i would be cheating because then i wouldnt have done anything to achieve it :)
Oh and please do not play online, invading a hacker is pretty annoying allthough not impossible, I once killed a hp hacker by knocking him off a cliff, that gave me a boner so maybe its another layer of difficulty hmm..
Ahahah, hacks wont help much against the anorlondo archer my old friends x)
One thing I hate is getting invaded by Japs and Koreans, the ping is just horrible, suddenly hes behind me, getting stabbed when I'm 5 meters away, ugh ...
I am not going to play anything online with a cheated build. I am always talking about SP only! Multiplayer is a complete different thing...
Well, you can do the same to them its laggy on both parts.. I dont think ive been matched up with many asians though so i havent really had a taste of this yet, luckily :rolleyes:

Lol played it again for the first time in months last night. Got on my char with maxed stamina and health. Using heaviest armor and a lightning claymore maxed out, pvp is still ridiculously easy, thought they were going to nerf lightning builds! Sat there for about 2 hours and won every fight. :?
maxed stamina and health ? 99 trainer ? lvl ? where did you invade ?
No I didn't use a trainer if that's what you're asking lol. Not sure, I'll check when I get home, at work atm. I sat in the forest and let people invade me, got invaded by more than one person at a time quite a few times as well, still won. Then I decided to do the invading and equipped that ring that lets you invade people in the forest. Invaded into some asian players games and won, they had some crazy shit going on, asked them after what their SL was and they were all crazy fucking high, the highest I remember being 682 if I recall correctly, still never lost though. :?682? There is no lvl cap? :shock:
682? There is no lvl cap? :shock:
Max level is 711
Also, this is something interestingI can't :( I am nowhere near having this kind of gear :o Get beaten up by some mean shield dude all the time :cry:

Oh i might try to forest hunt with you sometime then, i also have a around 50 axe-tank ^^ If we are lucky to get matched up together lol, is there even any action left on pc?
By brother, you mean Nuuk? :D
Standing around in the forest, kinda cheesy to play with +15 greataxe and golem armour, everyone who invades goes down in 2 hits..
I was wondering... do the mobs level up with you or are they fixed by area/spawn?
still wondering is it worth topiratebuy it ? :D

It is 33 % off from steam, I say why not, but only if you have a ps3 or xbow control, if not, leave it be :DJust ordered the Xbow controller, should arrive tomorrow, even the wireless one :D , cuz my old Logitech Dual Action has the buttons like all over the place... pain in the ass! :rolleyes:
Gotta love Rosie, lululul.

My current build and I'm itching for more fights. Oolacile Township is the only place that gets any action nowadays and it just isn't doing it for me.
Hit me up on Steam while I'm playing Dark Souls if you want to fight me.
http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198010107047/
Should probably go for lower level builds now-a-days, im going for a level 80 build, i got lots of action on 50 so i guess it should still be alright.. btw thats a crazy build, spamberge and balder swag sword ^^ looots of endurance
Planning to get into this, but is stacking vitality really the only way to pvp effectively? :|

If you switch out your current armor set for Hollow Soldier Leggings, Havel's Gauntlets, Dingy Robe, and keep the Royal Helmet you can land on a 25% item burden while still keeping your fast roll and also hit 83 poise, meeting the 76 poise breakpoint.
I have to admit, though... Hollow Soldier Leggings / Havel's Gauntlets is about as unfashionable as you can get... But it's just so damn good.
Ahh, sounds good but... the looks D: atm im just trying to get a decent look while still kind of min maxing, will see if i can maybe find another way to get up to the 76 poise. What does the breakpoint do? does it keep me from being staggered after 1 or 2 heavy hits or?
Might just go with 5 less endurance and put 3 in vit instead, putting me at an even SL 80 with 1.4k health, and skip the 76 poise because whatever i equip i can seem to find anything looking good, so might aswell just stay above the 53 poise mark...
If your going to use a fast roll build, take a light xbow, its really good. Killed a full havels and dragon weapon user in anor londo with it, no need to use my rapier, just my xbow. Funny thing was, he was in the same group chat as I am :D

What you think?
Got invaded by a hacker who killed the undead burg merchant.
I hate my life.
I once had a 20 min long duel with a hacker in Dark Anor Londo once. It was so intense and while we were having our duel he popped some divine blessing. Most annoying was that he could take 3 15+ Richards rapier with hornet ring backstabs. I managed to get 4 hits on him when I ran up to the princess' chamber. And sadly, after that long duel, I only got 13k souls ...
But if you want to have a lot of PvP, kill Gwynevere to get invaded, then stand in the big chamber around 21 - 00:00 O'clock and people will invade you like that. I once got invaded by 2 Darkmoon and 1 dickwraith at the same time playing there. Later on I was invaded by 9 Darkmoons in a row, so intense and fun :D(click to show/hide)

I started a 2hander not long ago and I'm having so much fucking trouble.
I'm using the Zhander and I do good damage but I can't for the life of me beat the gargoyles.... I've tried summoning people but phantoms come in and kill me before I get a summmon off since the shit always fails.
Anyone got a good build I can use? I'm thinking about using a halberd later...with the dark hand. Hell even a weapon recommendation would be cool.
So after Quelaag, we now got Gwynevere

Another, less classy solution is to get the Large Ember from the Depths and grind the slime monsters there until you can upgrade your Zwei to +10.[/font][/size][/color]Never thought of that Depth grind, take the shortcut from the back with the master key. May end up doing that, or using the resin. I think I still have em....I should, don't recall using em.

I don't know if I wanna stick with the Zweihander though, it's meh.
Any other good 2handers? I was thinking the Black Knight Halberd.
Edit - Just realized the BKH isn't guarenteed to drop after I killed it in Dark Root Basin. :( Didn't get it.
What's your SL? Perhaps i can help you.
Very low SL 27. Looking for future weapons tho.

Ok so I just experienced the most "WTF" moment ever. I was in the Painted world waiting for invasions in the middle of the "arena" like building. A get invaded by a Darkwraith, he comes down to me, I bow to him expecting a fair fight, then he suddenly turns into a white phantom, and I mean he just litteraly stops moving for 10 sec, then he suddenly turns into a phantom from a dw invader, he sprints to Priscilla and goes through the boss fog, which should not even be possible, since I was still standing in the place I was when he invaded me. He kills Priscilla and leaves. So now my Painted world PvP is slightly ruined and her tail can't be accedes now. Damn hacker ....
It also looks like for some reason all my GFWL friends were removed ... so if the guys who had me on their list could re-add me that would be great :P
"Zloth Demonsage"
Tried summonin a RL friend today. I had just gotten the soapstone, so the dragon was on the bridge, I placed to summoning sign and got invaded by someone with much higher equipment. He came in, trolled around a bit, killed the dragon, gave me a demon spear, then killed me :lol:
After that I was successfully summoned by my friend, we killed a couple of invaders and then made it to the Bell Gargoyles. Then my friend died after we got the 1st gargoyle killed ('okay, it's dead. What n---HOOLYY SHIIT THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE!!!'). Was awesome.
Might be getting a gamepad, possibly just for the sake of this. Any recommendations?

Having trouble summoning on PC? Install this, and your GFWL friend's signs should work like magic. http://goo.gl/fY6SK (It'll only work if you both have it installed, however)
/dsg/ players have a list of players' names you can use to add them for easy coop: http://pastebin.com/BnCxK5Av
I haven't had a chance to install this and see for myself but it seems to be getting pretty good attention thus far.
HolYYYYyyy shit ballls!
I've yet to try this - http://steamcommunity.com/app/211420/discussions/0/828935269278734403/ hear it works tho.
I knew that at that time there would be a reveal, but a gameplay reveal? :(. I don't want to get spoilered but i don't want to miss anything... :/.
Also, i don't recall seeing this area. Oscar confirmed for DS2? Does this mean that DS2 is before or after DS1? Also, who's the statue? Gwynevere?

They really, really need to get the hell away from GFWL. Please go with steam for DS2. Do it.
Well, Dks 2 is most likely to be based on the travel to Lordran. So perhaps we will see some characters from Dks 1. Like Soilare (but I doubt it).
We can only hope for the games lore to become more epic \o/
Looking at the mark next to the health bar, where the hum. meter usually is it looks like they are going for a day an night cycle, maybe with different enemies (outside) depending on day an night?

Dark Souls PC is the lead platform and it will run at 60 FPS. They will be adding warping much earlier in the game, and perhaps there will be dedicated servers.
http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/xbox-360/news/1026821.20130412.Dark-Souls-II-PC-is-lead-platform-will-run-at-60-FPS/
If PC is actually considered lead platform then I'd expect proper control over movement, I want my character to strafe left when I press A, not to turn left and run. Aside from many other ridiculous problems that's one of the reasons I didn't bother with original DS, dumb controls meant for a thumbstick.
You can't strafe. Like I said, movement structure meant for a thumbtstick is unacceptable in the enviroment where you have 8 possible movement directions and the system is meant for fluid 360 control. That's to begin with. Mouse control is horrible, what does it tell about devs if some random guy on the internet makes a fix for their game that makes mouse even usable.
Dark Souls has probably the worst controls I have ever seen in a PC game.
I'm interested in getting involved in some PvP, whats the best way to go about this? I don't even know where to start.
It was a port ONLY made because of a petition that got 1 million signatures. They ONLY did it because of that
More like they smelled easy monies and decided it's not worth to bother with a proper port. PC players are idiots and will buy anything when there's hype.

Dark Souls has probably the worst controls I have ever seen in a PC game.
You can strafe if you are locked on a enemy. It is unnecessary to strafe when there are no enemies close by (or you WANT to move sideways, to get a better chance to hit enemies).
The devs indeed did a bad job on the port, but so what? It got fixed by some guy.
The fact alone that devs ported it was good enough for me.
I played it on PC, had loads of fun and is in my top 5 games ever played. You are really missing an experience here.
If you hate the port, why not just buy it for PS3/Xbox360?
Can't find PvP anywhere...thinking about making a PvP character, can someone tell me what level range I should aim for and where to invade and which convenant to join if any?

If you want to do some good damage with weapons etc. Go Pyromancer, and take a low stat weapon, that don't req. so much str or dex. Upgrade it with Chaos (most damage if you got around 20 hum.) then you can take your stats in vit. and end. good for low level.
I was thinking Lightning how would that be?
Cool, been doing some forest PvP....might make a new character that's lower level though and invade as a dark cov.
Any recommended builds for low lvl PvP?
Edit - Thinking Level 35 - Darkwraith invading Sens Fortress/Depths/Blighttown. Not sure on a weapon though or build.
I'm getting annoyed here...anyone got a character level 22-42 that can assist me? I'm trying to get my SL32 to Anor but I can't get past those bow guys...I've died 15+ times.
35 is way too high for Sens Fortress/Depths/Blighttown as a Darkwraith. A normal player shouldn't be higher than 30 by the time they finish Blighttown, and you need to be under their level to invade them. My Darkwraith was level 15 (4 Kings were not easy!), and I had pretty good luck invading those places along with Undead Parish. I used a Lightning Estoc just for fun, but I wish I had used a Shotel instead. It's fun to mess with shielders.
I would if I still had it installed. Had to make room for other games. I would usually try to get them to change their positions and get one of them to come at me in melee out of line of sight of the other.
Dark Wraiths can invade anyone 10 levels lower or infinitely higher than them I do believe.
Didn't realize it could go lower. Was there an update since the game went to PC, or did I just always miss that? Even at SL 15, successfully invading at Undeadburg was rare.
Got Demon Souls on Friday, epic game.
Wait, you hadnt played it before or?
Dark bead... what a cheesy spell...
Roll
So few invasions, hopefully there will be better online in DkS2
So how the hell do you start this game without it crashing? I started it once, it was in shitty windowed mode half off my screen so I changed the resolution and set it to fullscreen in game. Now when I try to start it the screen flickers over and over and I have to alt+f4 out. Tried a bunch of stuff but can't fix it.
Twinks in Undead Burg looking to invade new players. Quite common.
Working on the bell gargoyles. I'm fine until the second one turns up then I get torn apart.
Basically the bloody fire.
Edit:
Been trying for two hours. Problem is whilst one sprays the fire I can't get near the first one and I'm to avoid everything. But if I take the hits on my shield, because both start meleeing my stamina instantly gets pummelled down. Can handle the first one, losing know health. But no idea how to avoid the second on on top of the first.
I did the first titanite demon, capra, butterfly and even gaping before the gargoyles. Also I had completely explored darkroot (tried sif once). Because I'm such a badass.(click to show/hide)
The only bosses I didn't do alone were Seath and Gwyn. You may think that's intentional, in fact it was more because I didn't wanted to lose humanity and cba to wait for white/gold marks.
Ok yeah got it. Went back and managed to get some humanity as well.
Edit:
Ok beat that boss. Basically me being a twat. I had tons of humanity things and didn't realise. I thought when I was picking them up they were automatically going into my humanity, and that I just didn't understand why I was out of humanity so fast. So I actually read what those are, used one, made myself human, summoned Solaire and beat the Gargoyles within a minute. 10x easier than on my own lol.
May start again with a different char. Knight seems to slow.
You solo'd smough & co?
Yes x)
As a result I killed Smough first and didn't get some important armor set
Accidentaly shut my self down in tomb of giants without the Lordvessel, oh what a pain to get up from there -_- ng+ to make things worse aswell.
That's quite a feat.
is it? I did it all solo I assumed most people did. think i summon'd some npc dude on gargoyle and spider lady.
thinking about it makes me want to dl and play again but think I will just wait impatiently for ds2.
Didn't you say earlier in this thread that you used a trainer / save state, on your play through?
I just invaded some hacker who reset all my stats to 1 but not my soul level and for some reason DSFix backup saves was disabled.
GG

And that's why I don't play online anymore. GFWL is worthless and full of cheaters.
To everybody waiting for DkS 2 : if you have a PS3 buy Demon's Souls, it is slightly better than Dark Souls in many ways and also really harder.
Alright, I'm gonna make a new character now. I don't wanna remake a bodybuilder strength guy so I think I'll make a wimpy intelligence nerd sorcerer. Is the Moonlight Butterfly Horn worth getting or should I just wait until I get the Moonlight GS?
I played Dark Souls first and then went over to Demon Souls. I managed to complete Demon Souls in around 3 days with my strength based char. PvP in Demon Souls is fun but now only way to get some real action is to get into a fight club, luckily I got invited to a group who did PvP in 4-1 almost every day. Only thing that bugged me was that you lost a soul level when a summoned red killed you, or you died as a summoned red. Unlimited "mana" due to old spice and the second chance sort of just made it a bit more "meh". But non the less it was a fun experience.
Still prefer Dark Souls over Demon Souls in almost every aspect of the game.
We were fighting at SL 100 ~ 120
I just got the game like a week ago, and i have like one level 20 pyromancer and a level 15 knight tanky dude, any tips for a noob? cause i have no idea whats happening and i suck ASS :P
I honestly think this game is kind of bad.

(click to show/hide)
Why? did you finish it or did you give up half way through?
Lol I like things about it and dislike things about it. I dont really like the combat system. Not because its simple or anything. Its just kinda clunky and not well thought out. For example when I was fighting the first boss (Asylum Demon). I would get hit by things when I was well out of range or if I dodged it and something still hit me (unless theres some area of effect thing.) I would also take damage yet nothing would happen to my character like getting staggered or knocked around. He would do a vertical attack up to down, I would dodge, it would miss, I still get hit.
Also I think this game has the worst tutorial/learning curve Ive ever seen. While I was able to pick it up fairly quick, with a little struggle and help I got it. But for everyone Ive talked too about this they have to google or go on the wiki for about 90% of the game (someone mentioned going on the wiki in the thread like a page or two ago, too lazy to look). They only really explain basic stuff on the hints but leave out a lot. This ties in to the difficulty. Not in the way you think it is. You can walk into random enemies and not know how tough they are, yet you have free access to everywhere. Free access to get your ass plowed in by a dude that looks like Sauron or a horde of skeletons. While I dont have a problem with the game having difficult enemies, but they set it up for you to die, having you lose all your hard earned souls. Which isnt fun for me. I dont want to have to keep farming enemies and bosses to keep getting back to what I had before because I dont know if I cant take on a simple looking skeleton my size.
They also dont tell you what and what not to kill. I found this out the hard way killing the sun knight after the taurus demon. They didnt tell me I would be invaded by other people that are massive levels ahead of me. And the only way to get rid of it is to progress through the game to a certain point and give up a certain amount of souls. With the way they set you up to die constantly from random stupidity or from being invaded, that is hard as shit.
Speaking of multiplayer, it is hot dogshit in this game. Have to be within 10% of levels, have to be near area boss, have to be human. Ok kinda weird but I can do it. Then you see the summons signs like 30% of the time its put it. Me and my friend tried for hours to get one summon sign up, could never see it for some reason, for both of us. And even then its not worth it because we will end up dying at some point, its a given. Then you have to re summon someone all over again and go through that dumb process.

Why? did you finish it or did you give up half way through?
You seriously believe that one must finish a game to form an opinion about it?

TIL shit design and mechanics is now 'difficulty'.
You are one of the few people who dislike Dark Souls's difficulty, and actually say so. I applaud you. Usually they are a lot more verbal about it.
WTF Games for Windows LIVE, RAAAAAARGGH. Why did I buy this crap? I hate all of you who recommended it! DIE IN A TORRENT OF LAVA.Yeah, No multiplayer for me, since my GFWL account is in Korean for some unknown reason. Had to make an offline account. :?
Dark souls is a game meant for PS3. Dont play it on PC.

Well got the lightning spear from the mimic so things are much easier there now. Not sure what floor you're talking about :P
This guy is pretty good, 2:00 >-<
this port is one of crappiest ive ever seen. it absolutely outclasses gta 4 in shittynes and is on par with saints row 2.

I needed to grind to level 35 to beat the Gargoyles and the Carprademon with my hunter :mad:
Finally I have seen a littel bit of story going on. Still I am in the dark what that Lady at Firelinkshrine is up to...
Really. I like the fighting in Dark Souls, but ... there seems to be something like a story somewhere, but it really is well hidden. I mean, I met some strangers and freed some others. But all the characters I meet are only talking gibberish to me. Does it will make some sense later?
Did I miss something? I only got that I have to make my way up and ring the bell, then go down and ring the bell. Then someone/something will emerge... errr. What??? Will I get some statisfying reason, why I do all that awesome fighting ever?

Also, I wouldn't trust snakes.
Even though I never really liked Dark Souls, I will say that Dragons Dogma is IMO basically an upgraded version of Dark Souls.

The painful part is having to repeat the process of going there just to remain puzzled as to how you are supposed to do it.
gimme soema advices how to boost performance, cuz my laptop seems to be pretty outdated. I tried differnt things i found on internet but it looks like i made it worse and now have 8 fps :D
I seem to have detected your problem.buy me pc seems to be good fix of the problem

Early DKS2 beta on ps3, gotta get me some access :/
Well to be fair i think the gameplay was on ps3, and the game is ported FROM pc, so if you guys are getting it on pc there will probably not be any framerate losses like in dks1.
No matter how good/bad the PC game will be, mods will fix it ;).unless everyone jumps that frostbite bandwagon... the mod scene is not as big as it used to be imo.
does it matter how fast i level up my guy? will enemy guys also level up or they stay at level they are meant to be from begining of game?
i got through those shiny doors in darkroot garden and i met those ghost/phantom whatever guys and they kill me in 2 or sometimes 1 hit :( is it worth going there with my low level guy?
Nah, not really, unless you want to farm souls there. Also, go hollow in that area if you just want to farm in piece, or you will get invaded to pieces.i fucked my windows live so i play in offline mode :D
does it matter how fast i level up my guy? will enemy guys also level up or they stay at level they are meant to be from begining of game?this is a nasty trend in video games that needs to die.

nope
P.S. Great Grey Wolf Sif is one tough boss :(
He is quite easy, just get a shield and turtle until you can go under him and hit him in the legsi am so lame that when he does double attack hits down all my stamina with 1st hit and with second he kills me :(

you have to be human, take some humanity and make it to the gate(hardest part sometimes when you have people invading you), there should be a summoning mark to get a helper at every boss fight, for the most part.dont worry about that i already finished game :)
You noobs should all start a new game and do a full hollow playthroughi played most of my game as hollow cuz i didnt know how to be human till like middle of game and than i was too scared that someone will invade me.

A parody? That was literally animating key moments from the game with a response. Pretty cool as it is very recognizable, Blighttown ran smooth as silk for me by the way, even though I got a shit pc. Well I pirated it at first and friggin loved it so it deserved a buy. Now that I bought it my mouse doesn't get captured into the game anymore and I can't use my mouse. Yes, I play with mouse and keyboard and I did install the mouse fix and configured it the same way was before. My pirated install has the same problem now somehow. That's what I get for buying games, for fucks sake. Anybody happens to know how to fix it?buy controller, they are cheap.

Bought it on the Holiday sale for dirt cheap, already put in tons of hours on the PS3 version, got this one as well hoping to get some fun PvP done. Not many people online though :cry:
I honestly prefer playing offline. Ornstein & Smough for example are a completely different beast when fought solo.
True. Summoning sort of feels like a 'cheat'.
Not sure about you guys, but I'm going to try to play Dark Souls 2 'blind'. No wiki, no guides/hints and no summoning. This makes the game much morerage-inducingfun.
Not sure if I'm going to get Dks2 on PC or Ps3. If the PC version is using steamworks it is pretty much a 100 % buy for me on the PC.
I actually tried doing this with Demon's then Dark Souls but the problem is that this is a surefire way to "fail" all the mini-stories with the NPCs and regularly miss important loot and lose fucktons of souls. Not using any help just feels like a huge waste of time to me, even though I try to keep it reasonable (i.e. I used it only when the other option was farming).
I did but fucked up my build so badly I found myself completely gimped and unable to get past certain points. So I raged and started again following a build.
I can't remember exactly but I spread my points around to much. I went for a dexterity build the second time and focusing on just a couple of areas made me 10x stronger.

aaaw yeaaah i love dark soul so much, and seems that they will release PC version around march as well and it will be better ported to PC than previous dark souls.
I think im going to break my trend of always going no shield dex build first playthrough, in dark souls 2 i will be a sorcerer, seems like they improved castings a bit by adding first person aiming like with bows and stuff.
Alright. I've played it for a couple of hours now (mostly to understand the controls and mechanics), and then I get owned by a giant dark knight. I respawn, try to get back there, but a stupid zombie blocks my way in and hits me while another one throws firebombs at my back. I die. GG. GTX.
It's hard to control, even with a gamepad, but, despite that, the game is nice.
Anyone here tried out the Agression mod yet? i did today, and its hilarious how almost the entire area is after you the momen you walk through a fog gate. Makes the game completely different, and a bit harder. Refreshing.
I wish i could play this game for the first time again... Once you've done it all one time it becomes easy, most of the difficulty comes from not knowing enemies, aggro spots etc (and controls). Good luck on your first playthrough! Hope you didn't try to fight the ghosts then the skeletons like i did... Black Knight sounds like you're on the right track.(click to show/hide)
Dont you play first playthroughs blind? Thats what i did then i started looking up other stuff like items etc for pvp builds.
I wanted to, thats my only beef with DS is that it hides stuff like bonfires and encourages you to look stuff up instead of find out on your own like I wanted to.
Yeah i didn't have internet when i first played DarkSouls so offline all the way. I'm impressed that you beat Capra as one of your first bosses, you didnt use the cheap tactic did you?
Me and my housemate took it in turns to play our characters on the xbox so i always went out of my way to explore in the opposite direction to wherever he went, it took me to all sorts of scary and wrong places early :S Tomb of the Giants hasn't even been so bad in more recent playthroughs, but i'm still traumatised by the memory of my first visit...
Yeah, I don't quite understand the logic behind false walls, it's possible to find most just by paying attention, but some are just evil.
Tbh the most ridiculous part of my playthrough was defeating the gargoyles so late, but yeah I pretty much got to Capra immediately after Taurus, and defeated him the cheap way (which is still hard, as the hardest part of this fight is the first couple of seconds). Particularly with Capra, the cheap tactic is really evident and IMO that's the right way of playing Dark Souls if there is one.
So you didnt skip Taurus? Hmm but i guess killing capra with an unupgraded weapon would be kind of hard. Unless one has a a pile of dungpies.
Fuck DkS2 will be released on consoles first and later on PC, goddamn it i may have to buy it on both then... oh well
First playthrough, no I didn't skip Taurus lol
game doesn't seem so hard as everyone claim (...) a walk in the park (...) with a walkthrough
I have bought Dark Souls on release day but managed to start this crap only a few days ago. Game doesn't seem so hard as everyone claim, just needs a lot of patience. Dealing with most of normal enemies is like a walk in the park if you're patient and take them one after another, with a walkthrough guides bosses also aren't that hard. Got bored already.
with a walkthrough guidesWell you might aswell quit if you are using guides first time around, the fun part about the game is learning, adapting, finding secrets and finally figuring out that strategy to beat that one area. Looking up guides the moment things get a little rough removes all of that. Even with guides though the combat is great, boss fights are usually pretty fun and exploring is awesome.
i fucking hate windows live, i fail to register to it and i as always forgot userame and shit. Is it designed to prevent people from registring?

Patience is hard. And yes with patience the hollow soldiers are easy, how far did you get?

My Dark Souls was broken for a bit and I tried a number of fixes and gave up after exhausting all options. Tried again today and it magically fixed itself! :mrgreen:darkroot garden, in forest, best early PvP area.
Only really interested in PvP at this point. Anyone got some recommended areas along with a recommended level for said area?
Gah i want to preorder a special edition for DaS2 for 160€.. but in the end im probably too cheap.
Somehow I could order a Black Armour edition for PC for 45€, is that normal for a pre-order price?
i think thats the regular special edition thingy, but the one i looked at was a unique to the website or something..
darkroot garden, in forest, best early PvP area.
OMGOMGOMGOGMOMGMGG seriously, i shouldnt hype myself over a game, i know how that tends to end.. in dissapointment.. but holy shit im fucking hyped about this.
What I did until now: Taurus Demon, Capra Demon, Gargoyles with first Bell, Gaping Dragon and Moonlight Butterfly.
Would I miss something important if I went for the bell now?
the watchtower basement key I got after Moonlight Butterfly
or should I get cursed once again and try the New Londo Ruins with that Ghost
venture further into the Valley of Drakes
Should I try the catacombs (and maybe rescue Rhea of Thorlund)
could I try the hydra, my last enemy in darkroot?
Also I am not shure if I should make one of my secondary weapons (falchion, partizan) holy weapon (I gave the divine ember to the smith in undead parish). I have 15 faith now, but dont plan to raise it much higher atm.
And another one: I kinda like the gargoyle axe and helmet. Should I waste some of my special junks on raising them, or should I save them for even better stuff to come?
Thank you! This makes my decission a bit less of a pain. I tried to beat the guard in the basement. I think I will have to chew a bit on this one. But thats the game. I will find a way to kill this bastard. I mean he is slow. I just need to study his patterns some more times or try fire and poison... ahhh. and rund in again and die. Did I say I am getting very addicted to this game? :P
i preordered DS 2... 49.99 euros. In russia its only around 18 euros but game cant be activated in my country :(
Gameholds.com got it for 50% of steam price :Pi have terrible history with such sites, i dont trust them anymore.
i have terrible history with such sites, i dont trust them anymore.
anyone know how to meake that shit work on steam
I really want to play but i just cant save
windows live dont let me log in because of some update that i cant download....
anyone know how to fix that?
SO managed to kill Gargoyles first try with just two charges in estus flask (no tricks or summons or anything). Rang the first bell. Now I'm down under getting killed by countless ghosts jumping at me from walls, fun :D
There are much easier zones to do than new londo right after ringing the first bell.
Sorry, I hope that hint wasn't unwarranted.
I actually went the right way the first time.
Or maybe I just explored both ways until I found enemies and upon seeing those skeletons I had a Shrine of Storms flashback and went with NOPE.
Well I just killed Queelag, took 4 tries. I basically avoided all her attacks until she stopped to vomit lava. Those butt blasts or whatever that one shot you were the most annoying. Blighttown/swamp wasn't that much of a problem, but I had those anti poison thingies from the forest. I didn't explore it too much though, that wooden construction is a fucking low fps maze. Now I'm gonna go kill that Butterfly boss, then maybe Sen's fortress, or should I try to kill that Hydra boss first?
Tbh the boss I had most troubles with so far was actually that Capra demon, I guess I have troubles fighting in small spaces and that room has so little space to dodge and move around and your camera is all fuked up. Until I figured that the boss doesn't reach me if I go up the stairs and the dogs will follow me, after that it was pretty easy.

WTF? You killed Priscilla?!
Just got invaded by some guy in Anor Londo.. He drops a titanite slab for me :shock:
Then we proceed to have a good albeit laggy fight, and I send him a thnx message on wlive. He was from Brazil 8-)
Ofcourse one of the best games ever is inspired by one of the best mangas ever :) i wanna re-read the manga now... for a third time..
Isn't the manga still on going? Or the site I was reading it from a few years ago didn't have all of them maybe.
I did not even enter the great hollow on my first play through, how awesome is that ?
You spear abusing again?
Having a bit of trouble with my gravelord covenant.. Thought that Painted World would be a good place, but im not getting invaded :/
I thought SL 60 was decent for Painted World pvp?
30 hours, but I didn't waste my time trying to loot every dead body, neither did I go to Great Hollow and beyond.

Started playing because of this mod:
https://www.reddit.com/r/darksouls/comments/60xu02/dark_souls_item_randomizer_v01_beta_testing/
Almost all items switch locations, you could go to the humanity at the well in firelink and pick up a 20k soul or a moonlight greatsword. Completely vital key items could be literally anywhere (that is accessible, they cant be placed behind a door you would need the same key to get inside) essentially making the game a fresh experience forcing you to explore those areas otherwise skipped. A lot of fun, i happened upon a great club early on and so i stuck with it. Also the return visit to Oscar as a hollow gave me a "I'm sorry carving", poor guy. Just got the lordvessel but have yet to go through the upper blighttown which is going to be a chore since i still dont have the key to get there from the depths so im forced to do it backwards from the swamp.
I watched a guy stream this mod several times. I believe boss weapons are the only thing not randomised.
Not sure if there's an option to make it random.
I assume you watched lobos then? You can choose to make everything random, but to not even have the estus makes it kind of too hard for me to enjoy it i think.
Did you play Scholar of the First Sin? Because I'm frankly glad I didnt. Looks like a whole mess, endless NPC invaders with dumb AI and a crap-ton of hp, just the worst possible way to try and make each area interesting. Imagine if your first ever playthrough of the game was with this shit?
Amazed that for all the indulgence of Dark Souls 3 they didnt actually give anything new about Velka.
The formula does need some changing up, they did it well in bloodborne but they could probably push it further. Im quite sated with how hard, or at least moderately hard the games have been. So long as im at least thinking about every encounter its fine with me, even when there are very simple solutions for many of them.
Just beat the item randomizer playthrough, ended up a strength faith build which bored me (i always seem to end up with something similar) so i didnt do Ariamis or DLC and just went with all the lord souls as soon as i had found the covenant of artorias. Had some fun though, will re-randomize and probably do a greatshield + spear pokey build, hyper mode if Velka allows.
Do it like lobos, use what you see c'mon it'll be a challenge.
DS2 has the npc I hated the most in the series... That fucking guy with the heavy lance that runs away to hide between enemies when almost dead. Specially hated him in the cursed tower. Fuck that guy.
Do you even Sen skip bro.
That one is genuinely hard because of unpredictable AI.
If they decide to make it with ds3 combat i'll probably just not buy it.
Shit, didn't even think about that. They might actually do it sadly.
I sometimes played pvp in ds because it was fun invading others, but I don't play it to get good in fighting against others because warband just has the overall better combat system
Should they fix old bugs n shit for remastered? Personally I don't care as I wont play it, looks just like the PC version lol.
