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?

Using DSFix? There was a hotkey there (F9 I think), that disables/enables mouse cursor.   (Also a HUD one, very nice.)

What a coincidence that this was bumped today. Re-installed and inserted my old savefile earlier today.

[Gravoth_iii]

i think it deserved a ressurection, i was gonna play some today aswell.

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

There was 4.7k people online on steam when I logged on. Sad thing is that GFWL is fucking up the PvP in this game making it harder to find people. And many of the guys playing are mostly doing PvP-ish things. Join the steam group, usually you find 12 - 16 guys there all doing PvP. Ask if anyone wants to fight / where they are at and you can get some PvP.

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 more rage-inducing fun.

[IR_Kuoin]

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).

The guys at FROM seem to be intelligent, I doubt they will allow GFWL anywhere near their baby this time.

[IR_Kuoin]

Yeah I also doubt they will be using GFWL, since Microsoft will shut it down soon anyway. Only reason Bandai Namco / From used GFWL was because it was the fastest way to get a multiplayer method into the game. And the devs. over at From had little experience in PC developing and Bandai sort of rushed it. They wanted to release it as fast as possible because people wanted it for the PC.

I think they'll just stick to steamworks. Gonna miss the option of receiving fanmail though.

That's true. I'll see how it goes (PC by the way).
