Cyberventurer posted:Mine was acting up badly too. Do you have a tiny switch on the back of your controller that you can flip? When I did that, then unplugged and plugged the cord back in, the controller inputs (mostly) went back to how they work in Dark Souls 1. There is a switch for toggling d-pad/analog sticks on off for some reason, but no, it just doesn't do a drat thing at all. This also happened with Metal Gear Rising, so I'm just assuming that the controller isn't compatible with these games, which is strange since it's just a fairly simple input device.

Wow, the heartbeat noise is really prominent in The Gutter/Black Gulch when you have good headphones on. On the PS3 I just played through my monitor's crappy speakers.

Something to keep in mind people getting frustrated is this game is way less linear than DS1. It's not even sequence breaking like could happen with the Master Key in DS1 its just pretty open. I didn't realize that I kinda picked a stupid path my first time through unlocking useful resources like the second blacksmith pretty much as late as you possibly can. There is also plenty of optional content you can get stuck on that would be easier if you moved on and came back with better equipment. Upgrading your weapon is king.

Matlock Birthmark posted:Alright, good stopping point for tonight. Got down Last Giant and Pursuer. Last Giant felt very Taurus Demon in difficulty. If only frustrating because I had to widdle him down with a dagger. Pursuer on the other hand was a good step up. I was getting my poo poo wrecked because I'm over reliant on those DS1 invincibility frames in the dodge-roll. Finally got him though, had to switch to using a mace. There's a dude who is chickening out in front of a gate right after the crossbow ambush room (you know the one) and he'll give you a soapstone after you escape. There's also this smaller soapstone that I have no idea how it works that I got afterwards from somewhere.

Having 6 in all stats makes it tough to really use ... well anything right away. Get familiar with the clubs - they have low dex requirements and need to be 2handed, but the damage is worth it.

Well to be more positive, I just beat what I assume is the first boss you're supposed to fight. I loved the design of that thing. Pretty freaky when it tore off its own arm to try and beat me to death with it. Only took one try but that's probably because I had a bunch of "practice" against the stone soldiers in that area you're not supppsed to go too first. nftyw posted:There's a dude who is chickening out in front of a gate right after the crossbow ambush room (you know the one) and he'll give you a soapstone after you escape.

I murdered that guy because he was giving me a Patches vibe and I wasn't in the mood to fall for an annoying trap.

There is a locked door above the Cardinal Tower bonfire in the Forest. You got the key to that from the Last Giant, or alternatively, you can just smash it open. There's a second soapstone there.

Hahaha, I had a feeling that might of been the case when I killed him, but eh that's what second playthroughs are for. At least the ring I got from him actually ended up killing the first boss. Pretty funny to get stepped on and then have the boss just fall over  Also he had a cool spear I wanted to use. Didn't think the stats would be so high for it though.

You also could have summoned him to help with boss fight.

Put it down, and then go explore. You'll get summoned to follow a dude around for about five minutes and kill poo poo. You get the full soul rewards of all enemies who died, the ability to pick up enemy drops (if you get any, they seem to be instanced too so no worries about loot ninjas) and when you pop back you get all the rewards of a bonfire rest without enemies respawning (great for exploring) AND your humanity restored AND a smooth and shiny stone. Also, holy poo poo, that first boss. Definitely a tutorial boss but metal as gently caress. Left Arm Ahead

Left Arm Ahead He was both super easy and frustratingly hard as a Deprived since he oneshot me if he could land a hit in. Now I'm stumped as to where to go next but I guess trying to figure out how to get to the lizard in the burning room you pass on the elevator is a good enough place to start.

So I've got some sort of seriously hosed up control bullshit going on - I started a cleric, and got to the second little fogged out area just past the hut - with the tree you push down, then the archer, then the hole you jump down. However, whenever I push down the tree and run towards the archer, no matter how many times i tap left click, my character won't attack at all until a good 4-5 seconds have passed. I can kill the archer despite this, but when I jump down my character's complete refusal to attack even if I stand completely still and tap left click makes me incapable of killing him. The weird poo poo is if I try this on the pathway leading up the area, my character attacks immediately, every single time - I've got full stamina in combat too, so it's not that. It's like the presence of a monster makes me unable to attack properly. This is getting.. extremely frustrating - I've died at least 15 times to this one single guy with a knife and haven't been able to melee even once - not even a miss.

I think they want you to visit Majula frequently, just to make sure you notice all the new NPC's moving in as you find them. But it's a serious pain in the rear end, and I wish they'd bring back the bonfire levelling from DaS1. At least on PC the loading times are much nicer, and I won't have to suffer through waiting for my PS3 to load the goddamn Emerald Herald dialogue line by line. *whrrrrrr* BEARER- *whrrrrr* SEEK- *whrrrrr* SEEK- *whrrrrrr* LEST- Best reason to buy the PC version.

There's a fair amount of bosses you can parry in DaS2. They just tend to punish you really hard for failures, so it's not worth it most of the time. Pursuer is one of the easier ones for it.

Ravenfood posted:The required time to fight him is on that patio overlooking the sea after you kill the Giant, right? When his bigass health bar at the bottom shows up and a cutscene plays with red jelly spreading on the edges of your screen, yes that's when you need to fight him. FrickenMoron posted:Actually the boss fight is 100% optional. He's still a considered boss to face since his health bar appears and blocks off an area - you can go through Heide's but not a lot do, and it's more convenient to fight the Pursuer. EDIT: I'd say he's required because you it makes the path much shorter, and who the gently caress wants to actually go through the Wharf except for the Lucatiel quest, Aurous Armor and Shadow Set, which the latter two only appear for NG+ and on.

Thanks for telling me where the Co-op item is. Went back and tried it out on Last Giant for 15 minutes. Wow, that's some fast summoning right now. And not a bad payout for how quick it was. Also, I love that we have more time now after killing the boss to stand around and use animations. Fun stuff.
