That's the Servant Roster, not the Book of the Guilty.

I'm pretty sure I have only have something like 100-150 or so points of guilt on the 360.

THAT leaderboard is more of a "who was dumb enough to feed their spider waifu one billion humanities".

That's the Servants of Chaos roster, not the Book of the Guilty. You just have to sacrifice humanity to the Fair Lady in Queelag's Domain.

Either this is truly the most punishing game of all time or I have a really frustrating problem.

My game completely freezes whenever I'm hit or take damage. If I manage to dodge that skeleton's arrows its fine, but the second it lands one my game freezes. I'm not even able to exit the game via task manager, I have to do a hard reset of my computer before I can play again.

Has this happened to anyone else?

This is the first time I have ever encountered a console port that really, truly requires a controller. Most games, it's recommended but I've been able to get by without one, but this game... ugh.

I thought this would be the same deal. Sure, it might be a bit easier with a controller, but still playable. Not so. I've never used a controller with a computer before and have no idea where to even begin to try and find one, as I don't own any consoles.

Renegade Ops is pretty unplayable without a controller.

While we're bitching, I just found out that Greenman Gaming won't sell Dark Souls to Aus/NZ any more. So instead of $USD40 it's suddenly $USD70.

The only way to infect others is to be infected yourself and use the egg attack.

Not really worth it, being that you really won't get to see it happen and there's no way to be sure it ever did.

Anyone know how to remap the buttons on a controller to match the PS3 layout? I am used to the PS3 version and would like my Logitech controller to act like a PS3 controller not an XBox 360 one.

Example would be to remap the lock on function to the right analog stick's click action instead of clicking on the 'Start' button on the Logitech controller.

Just an FYI, the game seems to run smoothly using dual 6970s. :)

The 360 layout is actually identical to the PS3's, since stick-click is also lock, and as far as I know the only difference is in how you emote. Apparently the Logitech one is doing its own sort of weirdness.

Is anyone NOT using the resolution fix and running at 1920x1080 or something? I don't even intend to use it, since I'd be running it on my TV anyway, so when people report bad performance or bugs is it always because of that?

Man, the game is still loving great.

Astora's Straight Sword +3 and the Wolf Ring rocks socks in the Parish

I noticed it periodically dips to 28 or 29, but a solid 30FPS all other times. The only time that it went down below 28 is at the Hellkite Drake, its flames made me dip to 15 until it stopped breathing.

Your prolly right, Logitech works great otherwise. Time to invest in a 360 controller.. Thanks for the help!

Is there a fix for the mouse cursor staying on screen all the time? This definitely doesn't seem like a port that had much attention given to it.

Not very often, mostly when you want to summon people to help you with a boss.

edit: it's really, REALLY frustrating that there is basically no way to tell how the game would perform on my computer without buying it, unless someone knows a way I don't.

Just wait til you start getting other handy slot items and you go from accidentally flasking to writing a summon sign or doing the "you can't use this right now" animation.

...Which is to say that it goes from being frustrating to loving hilarious.

Sometimes it seems like I look up at my humanity counter and I have an extra one without using a solid humanity or defeating a boss or anything. Is there a random humanity drop in this game? Also I just died and lost 2 humanity, should I even sweat?

ThePhenomenalBaby

Any area that hasn't had it's boss defeated has a chance for enemies to drop some liquid humanity straight to the counter, up to 10 per area.

Also nah don't sweat it. Humanity is actually pretty plentiful if you know where to look.

Hit the standard attack button, while falling. On a controller it is just R1 or RB.

Probably best to also not be pushing any other buttons at the time.
