Dark Souls II

[Tor!]

I am replaying DS1 right now, sticking around forest as lvl 35 getting invaded constantly 

Some american invaded me 3 times in a row last night  Wasnt as laggy as I remembered, makes me more and more excited for the dedicated servers on pc

Same, only I decided to be a forest invader this time, rather than being the host. One reason is the fucking bonefire glitch that will kick in and forces me to re-enter the IP pool ...

Funniest thing is you can avoid fighting Taurus altogether

I actually want to fight (and eventually defeat) bosses, I'm not into rushing/skipping the content, neither am I into all kinds of cheap tactics that exist for some bosses :p

If you want to really get into the experience, you'll have to change that attitude. Since Demon's Souls those games have been all about the cheapest tactics.

Yeah thats the best way to start out, but after youve finished the game a million times and then discover ways to skip parts its pretty damn kewl.

Cheap tactics though, is part of dark souls. That is how you play the game, with knowledge and abuse, because discovering abusive methods is being clever and its very enjoyable (atleast imo). But thats if you find them yourself, reading guides is something i feel ruins the experience. Unfortunately i had to quickly do that for one boss in dark souls 2 (Ancient dragon, if you guys have fought this yet, i think you understand )

I see. Yeah like I said, reading guides or how-to's can definitely ruin the difficulty.

I never used any "cheap tactics" to beat anything in Dark Souls. The point of the game was to achieve perfection when fighting the bosses and that's why I purchased the game, to be challenged. Can't wait for 2.

Btw, the cheapest of all tactics is to summon phantoms to help with bosses.

One thing that I really dig and will be great for PC is the vibration of your controller when you are summoned or summon others, so we can safely tab out or open the steam browser while waiting

Really digging the soundtrack in this, i felt dark souls 2 lacked a bit on the music part compared to demons souls, but DaS2 nailed it.

The new weapon upgrading system is pretty sweet, basically you have the regular 1-10 upgrade (10 being max now) and while upgrading this you can add another effect such as bleed, poison, magic, dark, lightning etc etc, at the cost of some scaling reduction. Some of the effects scale with skills though so its pretty good, for example bleed and poison scales with dex afaik which, so im going to use that on my dual wielding dex char.

Poison and Toxic OP; nerf

This soul memory for pvp mechanic seems to be garbage though, i was going to stay at SL60 and do some invasions, but as i gain souls im just going to fight higher leveled people while i stay the same.
