I'm waiting with baited breath to hear Totalbiscuit do a WTF is of it and bitch for 20 minutes about how the options menu isn't up to snuff. "Ugh. No FOV slider that goes up to 120. What a bunch of bollocks  "

Mimetic posted:I'm already thinking of an Indiana Jones build for a second playthrough. The whip is obvious, but I'm thinking pyromancy as a "gun" so I can reenact this scene. You'd probably be better off with a crossbow rather than a pyromancy for somethin' like that.

Internet Kraken posted:I beat Dark Souls on SL 1. It has nothing to do with skill, its just a lovely system and I mad because they hosed up a really good system rather than fixing the minor problems with it. This is literally just "They changed it now it sucks  " bullshit. The lifegems+flask strikes a good balance between what DS1 and DeS did.

I'm getting a micro-stutter issue. The game runs fine maxed but it 'skips' a little every few seconds, it's really noticable when walking somewhere. I had a similar issue in New Vegas and I recall having to futz with the ini settings to fix it. Is there any solution for it yet in DS2? I'm not seeing vsync or any sort of framerate lock. It's also worth mentioning this only happens when fullscreen.

Rolling with whips is actually staggeringly fun even if they're aren't that great. A bit sad that I can just switch to a basic club and mash things into paste while it takes a good number of hits with a rather upgraded whip just to do the same damage.

Callick posted:if a whip did the same damage as a big fuckoff club per hit there'd be a lot less reason to use a club wouldn't there? Eh, I may have misspoke there a bit. It's just that whips feel a lot more technical to use with lower returns when a simple club that I'm not even statted for just does a hell of a lot more damage with a lot less work.

Minorkos posted:Doesn't the Old Whip do kind of damage? Maybe get that whip, then skip DEX just and put an enchantment on it. I like the idea of a lightning or fire whip. The old whip does absolutely insane damage but it breaks so fast that you need to use repair powers every 10 attacks or so.

Been doing a Simon Belmont playthough and its been going pretty drat well. I didn't appreciate just how good thrwoing knives and bombs were till now. Whips are seriously great too, power stancing them or even just two handing one.

BARONS GAMES WHINER posted:Iron Keep is probably my favourite level idea. I basically imagine the Old Iron King having the same thinking from the Holy Grail. "When I first came here, this was all magma. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a volcano, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the lava. So I built a second one. That sank into the lava. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the lava. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Chosen Undead, the strongest castle in all of Drangleic."

I went to the Namco forums to see if there was anything on there about the servers being down, but I just saw thread after thread of people bellyaching about the CONSTANT INVASIONS INTO THEIR GAME. You mean like burning an effigy at a bonfire?  The official forums must be absolutely insufferable.

Nahxela posted:While I do agree that there's not really any large advantage to upgrading armor in PvE, I don't agree that you rarely find yourself with an abundance of souls. This game throws tons of souls at you, a lot more than the previous games. It's odd, compared to Demons or DS1 I didn't find myself getting all that angry when I lost a large pile of souls since they really didn't feel that hard to amass. Hell, I even found myself sitting on a couple dozen usable soul items at a time before realizing "Oh yeah, I should eat these."

rear end-Haggis posted:Oh there's plenty worse than that, brother. Yeah, any sort of injector can get you VAC banned apparently. So not everyone who gets canned by VAC was going for  headshots in CS with an aimbot and even worse is if you get a VAC ban that's it. They won't even consider looking into it ever no matter what for any reason. Much as people laud Valve they have literally zero customer service in most cases.

Wild Knight posted:So wait, does GeDoSaTo VAC-ban you or not, because I've been looking at this nexus mod all weekend (it's just Zelda textures, don't worry) and was wondering if rolling a Link character would be more viable in this game than the first because you can actually use swords in your left hand now, but if I might get VAC-banned for it theeeen it probably wouldn't be worth it. Wow that actually looks really nice. I was expecting basically crap and someone to copy-paste textures from Ocarina of Time.

The flow of PvP depends on where I am. When I'm being a dick and invading in Drangleic I do my best to wedge myself behind enemies and do whatever I can to get the host distracted with PvE stuff while I swoop in for the kill. Best was invading someone with two phantoms trying to clear the sentinel room just to lightning bolt him in the back while distracted. Sure I'm being a cheap gently caress but if I invade I'm gonna do everything in my power to win, especially if they have backup.
