I'm not getting crashes, I'm getting massive 1FPS slowdowns when I transition to a new area or spin my camera any place there are a lot of background assets (so like, the entirety of the Wall). Lowering motion blur and shadows to Low has helped a lot.

How do you get into the gorge near the dilapidated bridge bonfire? I've looked around and can't find a way down and it looks too far to fall I've also ended up upgrading the starting longsword before i found the large club and titanite has been really rare. I'm still at +1 longsword/+2 club after the third boss

In the past what were the more popular platforms for Dark Souls? I'm looking to pick the game up for either PC or PS4, but I want the platform that would most likely have more players to choose from when doing invasions/coop and stuff. I don't even know if it's possible to get concurrent player numbers for PS4 like you can with steam.

What should I do to make my weapon not be bad as a pyromancer fire gem??? I would use it on my handaxe but I don't think the weapon is very good. I haven't found chaos gems and I don't think they show up for a good long while also: if I upgrade a weapon to fire +8 or something, does scouring the upgrade make it a regular +8 or a regular +0 DarkAvenger211 posted:In the past what were the more popular platforms for Dark Souls?

Xbone will probably be the sparsest because Xbone, but it still shouldn't be too bad.

Is it just me or is the Battle Axe move set much improved this time around? Also: any reason not to spend Titanite on the Deep Battle Axe you can get in the High Wall? It already does more damage than my +2 Uchigatana and I'm having more fun with it, too, but I know it doesn't scale.

Genocyber posted:Because you know objectively what stuff in Dks2 meant, more the developer does. I'm partial to the explanation that the Kiln/throne is not only what holds this world into existence (or at least normalcy), but additionally holds all the many worlds/realities in the Souls multiverse, and Lordran, Drangleic are parallel realities. Given that fire is implied to have brought diversity in the DS1 opening, perhaps these worlds (and all others where the fire goes out) leak into each other as the fire goes fiddly, starting with spirits, and ending with a dramatic layering of reality upon reality until all diversity is lost and we're left with a cold prefire nonexistence should a relinking not occur.

I'm using an old iMac with a 780M mobile GPU and the game runs much better than Bloodborne does on my PS4 so I'd encourage anyone to at least give the PC version a whirl to see how it runs. I thought the game would run like garbage on my computer since it's not built for gaming but decided to give it a go since Steam has a no-nonsense refund policy, and I'm really surprised at how well the game runs. It just makes me sad that they'll never bring Bloodborne to PC as well because that game would benefit tremendously from a stable framerate.

Besides, to answer your question, the PC version is probably much more populated these days. Just look up some graphical tweaks to get it running and looking nice, and maybe a gamepad hack if it's needed (the KBM controls were totally lovely.) Edit: you may be talking about getting Dark Souls 3; both versions should be plenty populated with co-op players. enojy fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 12, 2016 |

the knights that look like a cross between the fluted armor from demon's souls and the alva armor from DS2 are completely pushing my poo poo in. if they tag me with any part of their combo, it seems like i'm instantly poise-broken and they just unload into me. i also had one of the sword wielding ones almost dead, i roll past him, and he two-hands his sword and does this huge chop as i come out of my roll that does 75% of my health and one-shots me. between those fully armored knights and the dark monsters, what's the best way for dealing with all this stuff that seems to be able to kill you with 1 hit? i know the firebombs that get littered everywhere are for the dark monsters, but honestly i've just started running past them, because there's no way they're worth the effort it's taking me to try and down one of them. everything feels like rocket tag, except i am armed with a pea shooter, and while i keep chip chip chipping away, any single enemy is one hit away from just pasting me across the castle. it seems to me that the loss of being able to dual wield whatever weapons you want was also a dumb idea.

After playing all the other souls games and bloodborne on console, it feels like a huge treat to play this at 60 FPS. Hopefully From addresses the weird hitching that happens while autosaving soon, because I'm enjoying this quite a bit otherwise. Also, BB made me better at parrying.
