The reason guard break and leap attack are hosed on m+k is because it waits for you to input double clicks before anything executes, so your timing is off. Further, there's a slight delay on attack if you use your mouse (while the piece of poo poo waits to see if you double click), which makes the game basically unplayable for me. I cant believe this passed Q&A. If anyone has any workarounds other than binding attacks to the keyboard, I'm all loving ears. What an embarrassment.

Let's all just calm down and put on our thinking caps.
Keyboard controls are clunky garbage and can't even really be remapped to be logical. Would not recommend this game without a controller.

It's tru though. Well, maybe not in that way, but I kept myself to SL 150 on the PS3, but the Soul Memory system means that I'm going against people who are level 200.

A good point, but hell, it's more annoying to me to just divide people talking about the game between two threads.

Wouldn't it be a better solution if you made this the Dark Souls 2 PC tech support thread, and leaving actual gameplay stuff to the gameplay thread?

It's less cool when you get a VAC ban because you played MW2 and got stuck in an xp server and got flagged for it. This is really infuriating, at least you can do that sharing thing.

Hey there MW2-flagged buddy! This is pretty insane and I hope they eventually fix it.

Everything looks pretty and no bugs so far. Works great with a ds4 pad also. Overall seems to be way better than the DS1 port.

No he means that SL doesn't mean poo poo because Soul Memory is a loving retarded mechanic when executed and SL doesn't mean anything anymore, you're better off to just keep leveling up

Is there any way to play an offline mode on this? I can't seem to find it. Unplugged my internet and unlike the first Dark Souls it doesn't seem to have an option to just play offline. I mean it says 'Initializing Online Mode' which makes me think there is an opposite, right?

Logitech Rumblepad 2 HID is all I can see from the device manager, and the controller itself doesn't say anything other than the brand name on it.

If the game had a simultaneous launch, yes, that might make sense, but given a sort of not quite long but not quite short delay it spares the PC audience from wading through spoilers while trying to get info. Additionally, is spares the console audience from having a retread of the same poo poo, different launch.

Blame Namco for dividing the community.

Uh, you wish. sl200 barely gives an advantage, it's the people that are 300+ or close to max with so much damage reduction that you do no damage that are annoying. And they're still pretty rare.

You need to eat an effigy to turn human, burning it just stops you from being invaded for an hour.

You can't read descriptions or something?
Yeah they changed it where burning effigies makes you seperated from multiplayer for a bit (if you're a coward for some reason) and using them restores Humanity.
EDIT: Or use White Soapstones to restore your humanity.

They didn't change anything, using an effigy always restored humanity, even in the beta.

It's whatever key you have bound to "two hand weapon", like Dark Souls 1, except in menus where it's whatever you have bound to "Function 1" in the menu keybinds (unlike Dark Souls 1, where it was just hardbound to "insert").

For those who have the DS4 working just fine, I have a very important question.

Does the rumble actually work?

This was a huge issue that I still can't get working with Dark Souls 1. Hoping DS2 is special for some reason. :(

See my post above. It's hosed up and until they release a fix I would not recommend using a mouse to attack. I'm currently using Q for light right and E for right heavy, and that allows me to both guard break and jump attack normally.

So, can somebody tell me why there needs to be a PC exclusive thread at all? All it really seems to do is split up discussion for the same game between two different threads. It just seems weird and unnecessary.

Maybe you've missed the fact that the console version has already been out for a month or so? It makes perfect sense for this thread to exist for all us PC scrubs not wanting everything spoiled/have the joy of experiencing things new with others.

El Golden Goose posted:

Yeah I got that too, figured its cause my monitor has been acting up though. Strange.

Also can I just say that switching the jump while running to pressing left analog stick instead of B is dumb and makes no sense. A minor complaint really, but still annoying.
