Why do people blame the consumers for buying games on the "wrong" platform? How is it our fault that developers build games poorly for one platform.

It's not your fault they suck at pc, it is however common knowledge they suck at pc so buyer beware.

It's like complaining that this fallout game has bugs in it wtf. Not being your fault doesn't mean you have no responsibility for your bad time.

Don't buy it till it's patched a bunch and better, or buy the working version. DON'T GIVE COMPANIES MONEY FOR A BROKEN DAY ONE PRODUCT. Cause you give them no incentive not to give you a broken product.

Guys, how do I make sure I save Greirat on his second raid? Google gives me all kind of conflicting answers on whether I should or should not speak to Siegward in the kitchen before or after sending him out.

I just want the little guy to be safe. :(

Allegedly nothing, the last gold winged knight did drop a slab for me last night. I thought it was just a reward for killing all 3 of them.

If you talked to Sieg in the kitchen, just go beat Sulyvahn and Greirat should be back safe and sound.

Between the server errors in DS1, the degrade glitch in DS2, and now this in DS3 I do not understand why people get the PC version

Do you really need 60 FPS that bad

60fps is objectively the single biggest improvement to gameplay you can do to a video game.

The occasional cheater is well worth the 60fps gameplay over the privilege of paying a PSN/Xbox Live subscription for a jerky sub-25fps lagfest console version with delayed control input.

Have fun.

Make sure you kill Sulvayhn before you wander into the irithyll dungeon or greirat will die.

Oh I have not even sent him out yet. I've been avoiding talking to him until I was sure, just in case he wanted to go! I have also heard people say that Patches will either save him or kill him if you tell him where he is. I'm going to err on the side of "Patches is a colossal jerk."

The Dragonslayer Swordspear is an incredibly good weapon. I'm honestly kind of surprised how good this thing is. I expected it to have a good moveset and weapon art but slightly lackluster damage thanks to split damage, but no. No, this thing owns really hard.

I assume you don't have a faith build like I do, can you describe your damage? I love this drat spear, it's so good, but I'm curious to see how it performs on a non-Faith build.

Question about Greirat. How do I ensure he survives? I have saved the onion armor guy but I read Greirat comes back after you kill a boss. Is this any boss, such as being summoned, or is it the next boss i kill to progress the storyline? Also, I heard that there is timer that you must kill a boss within or he still dies, how long is this timer?

That wasn't the host, that was a dude wearing the no phantom glow ring for cosplay purposes, it makes you display as "Host of Embers" no matter what(and he was clearly concerned more with cosplay dedication than effectiveness, since no helmet + no chestpiece = ouch everything kills you in two hits). Host was the one killed at the very end who kept hiding behind the Vordt fog wall.

Low level PvP videos featuring the Hornet Ring in the build are almost inevitably montage videos of "look at me mash the parry button into R1 spamming newbies and then one shot them with the insanely overpowered riposte damage that newbies will not have the vigor to survive". I concede that there's pretty much no other way to win reliably as an invader in that situation, but it's basically equivalent to cheat coding them all to death.

I don't see how that's supposed to happen, since you're expected to have seen him for the last time before you enter Lothric Castle.

You can't save him, but when you find his ashes in the Archives and give them to the handmaiden, there will be new items (ice moss, explosive/bleeding bolts) added to her stock. He dies but you still get new items :pseudo:

Bit late, but I think a small change to the Nameless King's first phase would make things a lot better:

Have the Drake be what's attacking you instead of the Ancient Wyvern. NK still absorbs his soul but fucks off to prepare for you.

Boom. One less boss, effect still achieved. Give me my cheque. :colbert:

It's weird how much better it is to mound invade instead of red invade. I just seem to get way less hackers or phantoms with soul stream, and even if I do I can just shank the other guy anyway.

Kind of a bummer that DS2 had the best multiplayer of all, since the covenants (in idea) are a lot better here. I'm going to assume because I did Dancer I'll be immediately overleveled for Watchdog invasions too.

It doesn't really get much damage from Faith because its base lightning damage is so low, so it does fine on a non-Faith build. I have 448 AR with 18 Str/39 Dex/18 Faith. The buff adds a flat 80 no matter what your Faith is, I think, though I could be wrong on that. And the weapon art hits Lothric Knights for almost 800, which is pretty cool.
