voltron lion force posted:Judging by the console versions this won't be a problem. Connections rarely fail and when they do its often due to the host dying or the phantom being summoned by someone else. The more pressing issue will be the soul memory system and how it complicates the matchmaking. Part of the problem (IIRC) with the PC Dark Souls 1 version is that a lot of people don't have the right Xbox ports open, since when you connect an actual Xbox it opens them, but it still wants them for GFWL. So you get tons of failed connections and such. I invaded 20 different people in the space of an hour at 6AM GMT -7, so there's plenty of people on 1. Most of the hackers have moved on as well.

From what I understand the KB&M controls can be entirely remapped this time, including sensitivity so it all works just fine out of the box.

So whips actually function somewhat like whips now. Additionally, there aren't any super neat Dragonbone Fist-esque weapons, but the Caestus use Striking damage, which is extra good against basically everything, making a dual Caestus run more than an exercise in frustration.

Nibble posted:DS2 has the same general set of actions, in the sense that there's blocking, roll-dodging, parrying, backstabbing, and kicking/bashing, right? I know the engine changes mean a lot of the timings and such will be different, but are they fundamentally the same? How does the dual-wield "power stance" work, can you block and/or parry from that? The kick is now a shorter range backhand which confers the same effects, everything else is the same, though parrying has a smaller window. You can riposte from a guard break (the backhand) now, instead of just a parry. Cannot parry in power stances.

The audio quality in 2 is crazy inconsistent, but mostly not that great. There is some good stuff though. I just can't wait for all you guys who didn't play the console version to be driven slowly mad by the grass in Things Betwixt.

Nibble posted:Parrying has a smaller window? I was just barely starting to be competent at it in Dark Souls, sounds like I'll be back to square one Yeah they've decreased it with each iteration. On the bright side, there are fewer attacks like the crazy freak out hollows do in 1, but it's also usually just easier to dodge than parry anything.

I just wanted to point out that this Steam group exists and a bunch of old DkS1 PC hands and people who are double dipping will (probably) be in there to answer questions come launch. Stop by, hang out, occasionally get harassed by pubbies who think we're dishonorable (true story).

Atlasesque posted:No. Pretty simple really, I've done it for other things, but I won't speak to it since I haven't done it for circumventing Steam. No-one has ever gotten banned for unlocking a game early with a VPN. It's buying from another country with a VPN that fucks you. It's pretty simple. Go to the FlyVPN site, download the Lite client, exit Steam, use the Free Trial login to login Japan 02/03, launch Steam, decrypt game, launch game, disable FlyVPN, don't close the game until 6PM EST.

Any secret wall that actually opens with the interact button will also open regardless of messages in the way. Don't waste your time with Illusory Wall messages if it doesn't open first try.

Cardboard Box posted:GeDoSaTo is what you're looking for but with VAC just being patched in I'd wait a couple days and see if anyone gets banned for using it, just to be on the safe side There's also a few ENB profiles out there, most of which aim to restore the "original lighting", problem being that it restores said lighting to areas that clearly weren't intended to be like the pitch black FoFG area they showed off and it's just awful.

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. If people do get banned for injectors there's gonna be an enormous swathe of people banned, so who knows how that'll go down.

Mariposa posted:Is there any way to ignore the messages people drop right in front of illusion walls? They make it impossible to trigger the wall. They don't actually. If there is an invisible wall pressing the use button in front of it will always override the "Read" prompt, so if you see a message and no wall opens it's a lie.

Dandywalken posted:Was it the blonde dude in the basement of the ruins? That fucker can rock my poo poo with a 3-hit combo IIRC. Its only him who I've seen do it though. The regular Warriors have three attacks that I'm aware of; - Regular swipe - Swipe and then a weird leaping kick to the side - Two swipes and then a leap attack No idea how to reliably trigger the leap but the kick comes out all the time when you pull them back into the bridge area and fight them solo.

Party Plane Jones posted:For some reason nobody expects the drangeleic swords moveset, the amount of people I've killed with a strong attack combo at 20 END is sort of staggering. Belfry Luna is way more fun than Sol since you're much more constrained. Literally everyone I have fought in Drangleic armor with the Drangleic sword today has been beyond awful, so they probably don't expect someone to use it properly.

I've also noticed most people don't equip the silvercat ring. And there's plenty of shortcuts to lower levels that cause dudes fall damage, especially the people in heavier plate suits. People think they're clever by just running drop circles up the first set of stairs and down, and it just ends in horrible violence.
