What the gently caress man, I get summoned by the same dude again (named Apollo) and I'm standing around waiting for whatever the gently caress he's trying to do to happen, and I start swinging at him and it's doing like 10 durability damage a hit to my sword hahaha what the gently caress. Hackers already man, fuckin hackers.

If you don't own a console already (you could just use those controllers) just go buy a wired 360 controller used from gamestop for like $20. Its the best PC controller because it'll work with everything perfectly and you won't need batteries or a dongle or anything. How hard? Pretty hard! Ever tried playing devil may cry on mouse and keyboard? It just doesn't work dude.

McGrady posted:I checked 3-4 pages back. Is summoning working pretty good in DS2 on PC? I assume it should be -- is it working as well as it was on the PS3? No horrible summoning failed over and over like DS1 on PC? Yes of course you get summoning failed over and over. You guys must not understand how the system worked. "Summoning Failed" doesn't mean the network is loving up. It means somebody else already summoned that person you were trying to. If you're having trouble summoning, buy the ring of etched names or whatever its called from Shalqouir in Majula. Then set it to blood god, and whala, problem solved. You may not see as many summon signs though, tell other goons to get the ring too and pick blood god.

The game plays fine with M+KB with rebinding pretty much all the default binds. It doesn't solve the mouse input delay though, which is all on FROM.

This thread totally lied, its not steam name its character name that shows up in multiplayer. I've made a huge mistake  poptart_fairy posted:The framerate, oh god the framerate, I think I'm going tohnnnnnnghghgfhhhgghgh Oh yeah, its SUCH an improvement. PS3 runs at like 15-30fps, 360 runs at like 20-40fps but with horrible screen tearing. Solid 60fps 24/7 with no tearing at 1080p with AA  Doctor Albatross posted:I'm a level 36 Knight with a Shortsword and Large Leather Shield. Is it worth saving that Soul of the Last Giant, or is that axe not great? That's all you can use it for. Some souls do have multiple uses like in DS1, but some don't. That one's just for the axe. (or crack it for souls) Its not my favorite axe in the game, but its not bad. Dunno, you'll have to try it for yourself. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Apr 25, 2014 |

So last night I teamed up with good people for bosses and one-shot everything up to a certain lovely repeat of a certain lovely boss from DS1 (Belfry Gargoyles) that consistently turns into a gangbang of large, angry monsters easily surrounding me and making GBS threads flame everywhere. Still, I'm really liking the PC port, and the increased framerate really turns it into a whole new experience. Also, it's a lot of fun running around doing Bellbro invasions like this: Well, ended up looking more like Krishna than Tobias, but it was worth a shot.

^ There's other places you could probably go right now if you want to put that fight off. But its honestly not so bad. The real boss of that area is the Bell Keepers. There probably aren't that many yet, but in a couple days here the bellfrys are going to turn into non-loving-stop invasion town

Term 4 of the agreement posted:(...)You acknowledge and agree that either Valve or any online multiplayer host may refuse to allow you to participate in certain online multiplayer games if you use Cheats in connection with Steam or the Software. Further, you acknowledge and agree that an online multiplayer host may report your use of Cheats to Valve, and Valve may communicate your history of use of Cheats to other online multiplayer hosts (...)

So now I'm doing my Dark Souls II Researchtm and I have a question about the bonfire ascetics: So to get around the despawning enemies, you can respawn everything with a bonfire ascetic, but it respawns everything at a NG+ level higher. Does it still cap out at NG+7 like Dark Souls 1? Can you keep using bonfire ascetics to respawn things once you hit the cap, letting you farm indefinitely so long as you can handle NG+7 dudes?

XENA I LOVE YOU posted:Don't suppose anyone else who had the crash on desktop bug can share their secret of how they got it to work? I've tried the stuff on the Steam forums and still no luck. amd card? i didnt need any fix but it worked for me straight away and im using a samsung tv at 1080p through hdmi on a 6970. using cats 13.4 though since i only upgrade drivers when im having an issue or some poo poo, (yeah im lazy) might be worth trying them if all else fails. (not even sure what the current cats are at these days?) anyway i have no second monitor either or anything else connected to pc and a 360 wired pad. i've heard stuff about it being gpu scaling and i think that's on. im not at home at the moment so i cant check that for sure. hope it helps.

Zaphod42 posted:Yes of course you get summoning failed over and over. Actually there is a separate message for when you fail a summon because someone else summoned them now. That said, I don't assume "summoning failed" is always the network loving up. It may also apply to newbies who keep moving their signs around in an attempt to "refresh the summon," just like DS1.

Note that Unlike Dark Souls 1, in Dark Souls 2 NG+ isn't just the same game but harder. There's several weapons and spells you can't get until NG+, and they also move around enemy placement and add several new enemy spawns that weren't there in NG  Some boss fights are even changed up. Good luck!

Is there any way to bypass the 16:9 aspect ratio lock without stretching the image? Black bars taking 20% of screen space is annoying me to no end. I can't believe that they promised that DS2 will support any resolution on PC and then lock the god drat aspect ratio like on DS1 port. Even more ridiculous is the fact that apparently (according to a console-playing friend of mine) console versions can be played on 4:3 screens without any letterboxing.

It might allow you to do more damage against King Drangleic. The damage you can do to him is dependent on how many giant's souls you have in your inventory, so that one might count towards that

Dezztroy posted:The game plays fine with M+KB with rebinding pretty much all the default binds. It doesn't solve the mouse input delay though, which is all on FROM. Yup, I have no problem at all with the over-the-shoulder POV. There is some weird mouse input lag (or mismatch w.r.t. keyboard input) which makes doing stuff like guard breaks hard via mouse attack. That's on FROM, not the genre or POV. Tons of menu options still say to click whatever controller button instead of the actual key the command is bound to; that's on FROM, again, not a particular reason to make a person 'buy a controller!!!!' Finally, apparently you can just bind 2-3 mouse buttons instead of others you may have via the default rebind menu. Again, that's on FROM, not some intrinsic aspect of the gameplay that would make one want to go out and buy a controller. It's just a lazy port of the controls. Rolling? No problem. Freelooking around and fighting in non-lockon combat? No problem. I have zero desire for a controller except for the aspects mentioned above, which are a lack of effort/QA by FROM. I've figured out the menu controls and can live without using all my mouse buttons, so it's really down to figuring out the best way to handle things like guard break / jump attack.

I just cant fathom this game on a keyboard. The magic from Demon Souls was that the L1/L2 - R1/R2 sorta matched your movements on screen. Each trigger controlling an arm. Where in most games you just mash a face button. Even with a mouse, you're just clicking away and it's suddenly like a diablo game. To each their own of course and if you're happy, awesome. But I personally feel that playing with a kb+m is wrong in this series.

After struggling with the mouse and keyboard I decided to go gently caress it and use a controller, but the one I'm using is a Logitech, so the controls arent mapped the same way they would on an Xbox, for example, the right stick doesnt control the camera, it makes a hard attack, and I cant find the lock on option. I cant see any way to remap controls in the game itself, any help?
