I don't mind a challenge, but I hate having to fight against the interface. It's aggravating in all the wrong ways. About the "figure stuff out on your own" bit - I think that's the thing that bothers me the most. The game should work inside it's own universe without me having to watch a Let's Play or read a walkthrough. lets hang out posted:Sounds like it's not for you Guess you're probably right.

Looking forward to running around with a parrying and poking stuff again. Basically relied on a parrying dagger and ricard's rapier in DkS1 a whoooole bunch. Didn't use them as much in two though. While thrusting swords weren't bad at all, I found the timing on the parries to be a bit weirder to pull off. I've also been quite happy to see how fast this one looks, since speeding around and poking stuff in Bloodborne made it a bit a weird to go back to DkS1 and 2. Pretty excited!

I've never heard of anyone actually beating the game with the default control scheme. Either rebind some stuff til you find a setup that's comfortable, or just get a controller. The default is trash. And for the most part you can figure out stuff on your own, its just easy to miss a lot of small details. Most of these don't matter in the long run; missing one item in an area won't end your game. Don't feel like you need to do everything perfectly, there's no point in that. What exactly is giving you trouble?

They could've made the kb+m better but it would still be bad, if you want to play this game definitely get a controller.

am I understanding these PC requirements properly? If I have a 750ti and a 3570k @ 4.2 I'll need to upgrade to at least a 780 in order to play dank butts 3?

Depending on the resolution you probably will be able to (not at 60 fps, but still able to play). Genocyber, you should probably leave these somewhere in the op http://www.pcgamer.com/durantes-dark-souls-3-port-analysis/ Miss Mowcher fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Apr 11, 2016 |

And at this time tomorrow it should be the only open Dark Souls III thread. that is awesome that armor may actually mean something now, instead of just having another round of fashion souls How important/not important is luck?

And you absolutely do not need to every consult outside help; at most you might need to do this to find some secret areas. It gives you the basic controls in the Asylum (also why you should have a controller since it only shows controller prompts for that) and from there teaches you through experience. Node posted:that is awesome that armor may actually mean something now, instead of just having another round of fashion souls For the purposes of getting items Luck is kind of bad. Each point boosts item find by 1, when item find boosting gear/item boost the stat from 50-100 depending on the item. However, a Luck build is worth doing (probably not on your first run) because there is not only a Luck-scaling sword but also an upgrade path that makes weapons scale with Luck.

Use a game pad, either an XBOX controller or a PS3 Controller. Don't play with mouse and keyboard. Don't consult things just play the game.

White Phosphorus posted:This weapon arts business worries me. Does this mean I HAVE to use shields now? No. Pressing the Weapon Skill button will use the skill of the weapon or shield in your left hand, or the skill of the weapon/shield you're two-handing. There are certain shields that let you use the Weapon Skill of the right-hand weapon without having to two-hand it, but they're not mandatory by any means.

Honestly, dark souls 3 is really good and with the 1.03 patch, pretty much everything is viable. Can't want to start 100%ing this game.

White Phosphorus posted:This weapon arts business worries me. Does this mean I HAVE to use shields now? Like others have said, Weapon Arts are not reliant on shields. I think there are even normal sized shields that still parry, so you still have the option to have a shield larger than a postage stamp and parry. It can feel a bit odd when you are using a weapon skill that just forces you to two hand the thing anyways, such as the longsword stance. But that's still more convenient than stopping to switch between one and two handed wielding.

Keep in mind this is also largely still talking about DS1. Good luck understanding your Warrior or Bandit only has 5 I-frames on their naked front flip dodges in DS2, while in DS1 you can easily work out that 9 I-Frames is because you are flopping onto your back like a fatass, instead of the 11+ wearing less gear. Meanwhile, I really only consulted a wiki in my mostly blind DS1 play to check what stuff I missed in areas I had beaten.

Just blasted through DS2 NG+ in the last few days to get ready Sat on the seat to perpetuate the cycle. Any word if the kb+m controls are similar to DS2's? I was fine with those, though they were less than ideal.
