Dark Souls II

[bilwit]

kinda fun. I have a controller hooked up but I tried using it and was too weird.. the native PC controls are kinda fucked up too but feels more natural/intuitive for me so I use the good ole mouse+keyboard. I went Explorer+Rapier/Dagger because it looks cool.

Also, WTF does "lock guard" do?

[IR_Kuoin]

Anyone know how to retrieve a character? I started playing when it came out on another computer and got fairly far, but when i had to switch computers (one at my moms and one at my dads) i cant play on my character from the other computer. Is there any way to just move my game saves or something? i tried looking for the save files but i couldnt find them, any help would be appreciated 

Dark Souls 1 character files were located in C:\Users\USER\Documents\nbgi\darksouls

So maybe they are located there as well.

what you people dont seem to get it doesn't matter how well they fixed the controls for K&M, this is a type of game that will ALWAYS be better with a controller

Hope to meet you some day in Belfry or somewhere, I'm having tons of fun with ripping apart controller users with one-button kicks and 180 degress camera rotation at will.

[Gravoth_iii]

1 button kick, really? i might have to go M&K for this...

Can somebody explain how I do the guard break thingy on PC? Also, is that what you guys mean when you say kick?

what you people dont seem to get it doesn't matter how well they fixed the controls for K&M, this is a type of game that will ALWAYS be better with a controller. just like RTS FPS will always be shite on a controller, action/fighting/racing games will always be shite on K&M. every pc gamer should own a controller, there are quite a few games worth playing (pirating at least) like assassins creed etc, that suck on K&M.

The only significant differences are that controllers have triggers, so you can do half presses and that you have more angles with WASD. Neither are a problem in Dark Souls. Most games that control badly with mouse and keyboard are just poorly ported and would work fine.

I was trying to explain the same thing to a couple of purist pc gamer friends I have. 

It's hard to explain things to a pc gamer purist when you are wrong. If you don't need joysticks, K&M is always going to be better. In DkS 2, the superiority of M&K is quite obvious. Fast and accurate camera controls is already a huge deal, but on top of that you get direct control over more actions (such a the kick) that otherwise require movement + button combos and other nonsense. The controller was the main reason I never played a ranged class in DkS on PS3.

@Teeth, yeah, guard break = kick. You need to use ahk script for this, you can use the basic one I pasted earlier or the more advanced version like the one below.

My current one looks like this:

(click to show/hide)

#IfWinActive ahk_class DarkSouls2   

F1::Suspend    <- suspends the script if for some reason you have to (shouldnt happen though)
^LButton::MouseClick, left     <--  this allows using normal mouse clicks when you hold ctrl
^RButton::MouseClick, right

LButton::U  <- normal attack bound to U on keyboard in game

RButton::Y <- guard

XButton2::G <- lock target



WheelDown::      <- switch target with mouse wheel, L and J keys bound in game to keyboard target switch
Send {L down}  ;
Sleep 200  ;
Send {L up}  ;
return

WheelUp::
Send {J down}  ;
Sleep 200  ;
Send {J up}  ;
return

XButton1::      <- one-key kick
SetKeyDelay -1
Send {Blind}{w down}
Send {Blind}{U down}
Sleep 20
Send {Blind}{w up}
Send {Blind}{U up}
return

e::       <- one-key jump attack; T key bound to power attack     
SetKeyDelay -1
Send {Blind}{w down}
Send {Blind}{t down}
Sleep 20
Send {Blind}{w up}
Send {Blind}{t up}
return

It's not a matter of being a PC purist, I just don't want to spend £39.99 on the game followed by a further £40 for a controller that I'll use for a single game. I've bought the game on a couple of people, mainly Patoson, giving me the PC controls run down. I'm enjoying it thoroughly, even if I am complete bollocks at it.

The keyboard and mouse is working fine, even if I do have to mentally prepare myself before I jump!

I got my red sign soapstone, lets duel

[Polobow]

Just wondering, how is the ID for invasions. Is it your steam or the actual name of your character ? And are you able to send / receive fanmails? Always wanted my in-game name for other players to be my actual character name.

Give this man an answer, this information is top-priority

[Tot.]

Tor, what SL are you?

[Kafein]

This game is so unbelievably easy right now. Stay human 24/7 no invasions because nobody is a dickwraith yet, summon two of the bazillion available phantoms, watch boss die in two seconds.

[IR_Kuoin]

Less invasions cuz you have to farm red / blue eyes. And they even made it easier to find players too invade. Orb would have been so much better ...

[Vibe]

bosses with summons is like cheating
