The only thing the one I made does is gives souls at the moment. Nothing you couldn't do with the dragon head glitch or farming for a few hours.

Trust me, things are going to get a lot worse than that when people really start hacking their characters.

Like I said, I envision somebody making a program which scans incoming invaders to check to see if their stats are hacked. That is assuming that stats are sent to the host, which they are probably are.

If this time next week the game is unplayable online due to hacks I'm asking for a refund. The port is good enough and this is still my second favorite game of 2011 but that poo poo is unforgivable.

I love helping people with co-op, it's my favorite part of the game. Too bad at least on the consoles, you're going to have like a 25% successful summon rate (not that you can tell from the being summoned side, all you know is that you stand around for ages waiting).

I literally believe that vaccines cause autism, and that fluoride is a government conspiracy to placate the masses.

I am too stupid to know how to validate my own ideas and just assume them to be valid without any proof.
I feel so ripped off. The controls are so bad. It's like I'm playing on a super nintendo emulator using just my keyboard except making it 10x harder.

Really? That kind of defeats the purpose of the ring doesn't it? The flip is cosmetic at that point.

You have to shoot the tail, not the face.

The flip has more invulnerability frames than the regular roll, and less recovery, IIRC.

So this game doesn't have any strange autofail things right?

Most Japanese games tend to love stuff like this, so I'm a bit wary. I don't want to pump 30-40 hours into this game, get to the ending, then get told that since I was using Undead Souls that I found to get lots of souls for levels, I'm a horrible person and I could have been saving them, so I get the "bad" ending. Or that since I said no to Solaire when I first met him he'll actually die now and I'll get the "bad" ending 30 hours from now.

Also how viable would it be to pump Resistance/Endurance to 20ish, pump Strength/Vitality up to 20ish, then pump Resistance/Endurance/Strength up to 30ish. I just want to be the knight, I don't need spells, or fancy magic, or fancy dodge moves besides roll. Just wondering what my stats will be looking like by the endgame here before I just start putting everything into specific things. Again, I'd just rather not lock myself out of a section of the game because I don't do enough damage since I've been putting everything in to End/Res.

That seems very odd to me, since the sword IS its tail.

Blacktoll posted:

Yes.

Did they jack up the drop rates for black knight weapons? That's two people in two pages that got them and I have never gotten one before the very end of the game myself.

Not for the endings no. And anything you missed on the first play through can be gotten on the second.

GFWL has no cheat protection or hack detection. It is literally the same service from 2006 and is outdated as gently caress. Which is why valve made Steamworks, because Microsoft can't get it's head out of it's rear end and make their service not suck.

i don't understand what you're talking about, but it makes me mad as hell! Listen to me, as I spout gibberish, and know that I. I am MAD. :mad:
This looks terrible and runs terrible, I can't play a game where I need to dodge, block and strike with 20 FPS's, even though I updated my video card two months ago.

So glad I got this gifted to me instead of actually pre-ordering it. A friend of mine seems to be having consistent fps even with a worse video card than mine, as expected from bad ports, naturally.

Unplayable at this point, might ask for a refund.

More than likely, I had 6 humanities when I killed him. I think that they jacked up the item discovery rate via humanities?

That's why I am so hesitant. I've already gotten one refund from Steam due to bad performance (GTA4), there's no way they would offer me another one. I wish there was a demo.
