Turn Lighting to low in the graphics options. I was crashing constantly, turned Lighting to low and have had zero crashes since. Hope it works for you.

I've avoided as much info on the game as I could, but now that I'm about to start...

Do we know if Faith builds work well in the game, either Miracle-focused or Paladin style? Faith has always been my preferred path for these games.

I literally can't deal with these loving harpie fucks with daggers. It's great when four of them charge me at once and even if I had a fast enough weapon to stunlock one I still get buttfucked by three more that I can't hit.

What the gently caress.

Does the PS4 version look as good as Bloodborne? Might as well just grab that to play it sooner rather than wait on PC patches at this point, I think.

apparently burning a shard does the same thing as burning an acetic in DS2....but it also boosts how stronk your sunnyd is

I've had some luck recently with phantoms and bluecops taking turns, so I basically have to cut my way to the host. I also switch it up to Mound Makers from time to time because you only need to kill somebody as them.

that and matching the invader and invadee equip levels were some pretty basic ways to prevent SL1 dickwraiths, which was something that was hilarious to do, and something that few very people enjoyed having done to them.

i feel like poise is going to be relevant again? started as deprived, and if a monster tags me with one hit, i don't have the ability to roll away, they just get to unload their entire combo. made the first boss a game of rocket tag, especially with his double lunge thrust thing. it seems like in ds1 & 2 you had a quick window of time where, unless you were completely poise broken, you could always start a roll after taking a hit, but this time around if something hits me i'm eating the two or three stabs.

also lol they removed the ds2 qol change of being able to use multiple quantities of stackable items for what reason? oh no see it makes sense to have to manually eat 8 Deprived Souls one at a time in TYOOL 2016

to use multiple of a stack of items, you use the "Use Selected" option in the inventory screen. it's a little weird that it's not the default choice

I was having issues with that part until I stopped waiting for the spell casting harpy to shout and activate all the others at once. They are pretty much free targets while they transform, so I just ran in there and hosed a couple up real quick then backed off and let the other two or three come to me one at a time.

Man it's crazy how good this game looks and plays on PC, especially coming straight from DS1 and 2.

It does give me a bit of a twinge of regret that we'll never see BB on PC. Can't wait to play more of this tonight.

Miracles are fine as long as you realize they are melee use, by and large, and you might have to boost faith higher than expected. Like with STR and DEX you can hit 40 and call it a day. Faith builds want to kick it up a bit more. Praise the motherfucking sun ya'll.

Yeah it made my head start hurting after an hour on the PS4, but I think it was still downloading something because it was only 4 gigs when I started it.

It's a different art style, but they're extremely comparable in terms of overall aesthetics, yes. The starting area is basically Hemwick Charnel Lane in daylight, so you'll feel right at home (I have no doubt that's intentional).

Game feels fantastic, and taking down that first boss at level 1 feels goooooood, man.

[edit] Feels even better to have just opted to get this on what was probably the native development platform. I'll be jealous as poo poo in a week or so when you guys figure out all those random rear end driver problems and such. That's not me being snide either; 60fps webms of this stuff is going to make me buy it twice.

Fwiw I started getting constant crashes after the first hour and changing lighting from Max to High seems to have stopped it. I guess just set it to something randomly, sacrifice a chicken, and see if it works.

Game runs great for me. I have a 970 and an old rear end i5. I have everything maxed out and it looks amazing! I am getting the stutter when it autosaves, however.

I am also getting my rear end handed to me. The crazy mutant on the roof fucks me up unless I hurl fireballs at it. I started as a pyromancer and I haven't found any cool weapons yet, and I don't want to waste my one fire shard on the axe...

It sure doesn't feel like it sometimes.


E: Also I would imagine it's still the same dedicated servers as 2 and BB, which is to say they matchmake on servers and then it's P2P.

Is there any pattern to the Crystal Sages teleports? Do the crystals he leaves behind when warping give some indication or what?

Also there's a stat on my character called "hollowing" and its at 99.
