bathroomrage posted:Well I did learn recently that you can parry non-humanoid or 'unparryable' enemies, but all it does is cause you to take no damage or stagger from the attack. It doesn't stun the enemy or set them up for a riposte, unfortunately.  bodz5150 posted:**Big Boss image removed**

Dooky Dingo posted:So... you block them? A partial parry cuts the damage to something like 30%, which isn't horrible but also isn't always negligible, and doesn't damage your poise, so you only lose as much stamina as it takes to do the parry. Blocking reduces damage according strictly to your shield's stats, and you lose stamina based on the stability. If you run out of stamina blocking the attack, you stagger, but you'll never stagger from a partial parry. The way I play, if a partial parry is ever better than a block, it means you need to improve your shield and level up your endurance.

Dooky Dingo posted:So... you block them? For the most part it's just a fancy super-block. Mostly useless since by the time you have the frame-perfect timing to pull it off you probably have the timing and knowledge to, you know, actually dodge the attack or catch it on a shield.

I was so sad when I found out that you couldn't get that sweet mace from the Tower Knights. "Yes! He dropped a weapon! Now I can-wait, this is a greatsword. You were using a mace  " (Yes I know some off them use a greatsword) I got 30 Giant Halberds though, what a cruel world.In what I've played so far of the sequel, this has turned up again with the sweet black iron (like, a rectangle brick of it on a pole) hammer these green hulk dudes have not being something you can get. I got an awesome anvil on a stick later from a different enemy, along with a lovely greatshield. But it wasn't the hammer I wanted  EDIT: Since there's no spoiler policy in effect, anybody else have a particular weapon you saw an enemy using, that turned out to not exist for player use? ...Wait, is there even anything like that in this game aside from that Mace? The only other thing I can think of is a particular shield I wanted, but those jerks dropped Large Leather Shields instead. Section Z fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jul 21, 2014 |

You suffer no knockback and it's faster than a roll, so you can partial parry through attacks and immediately begin attacking, no waitingto finish the roll/get back into position after the roll or whatever. Also it looks hecka cool.

Well, when we first started doing these videos, I had a tendency to really sperg out on a lot of stuff and try to point it all out. Honestly, that was really dull and boring, so we skipped it, but Kreslev was still walking away from the game not knowing anything. This was the best of both worlds!

One of the biggest things that always irked me about the weapons in this game is that there are tons of weapons lying around blacksmiths that they don't sell. For example, go look around Andre. There is a Baldur side sword lying RIGHT THERE. But he won't sell it to you!

The last update got eaten by the crowd of the rest of my favorites it seems. Thank you for loving up the Capra demon, always good to see that. The camera (and those loving TREES) were my biggest enemy when I fought that guy, next to DOGS. I'll see what latest mysteries Smushy solves in the new one later tonight.

I'm bookmarking videos and waiting until I manage to finish the game before I let someone tell me how to finish the game. Then I'll make a series of video tutorials for people who don't have enough skill to do whatever it is you're doing in your videos.

I was afraid you'd make fun of me again because I brought up partial parrying even though I don't like it.  No but for real I've just had nothing constructive to say or add, love your videos though! Especially the chemistry and comradery you three have going between you.

I was watching through Geop's LP and didn't think to come back to comment between last update and this one. I think I can't watch enough Dark Souls LP's, it's always something interesting to see, hear and learn about the game, and not necessarily all about lore either.

Even the little details, like Lautrec being called "The Embraced" and his armor has a pair of arms wrapped around him to show the favor of his deity, it's all just SO GOOD. However, You won't get very long to look at his armor as he falls off a cliff.

Without flooding this thread with spoilers, here's a link with spoilers in it: This wiki page reveals all. The Quest Line section lays it all out. Once again, I'm pretty sure Geop did the whole quest.

Lautrec is actually an interesting character for Dark Souls because he is one of the few that you are given MULTIPLE opportunities to Obviously, the game has recurring characters and you could, conceivably, kill any of them at any point, but Lautrec really feels like the only one that the game is just going "...come on... DO IT..." Also, Petrus.

Grizzled beagles posted:Gaping dragon chat You know, sharks can't see while they're trying to bite. They cover their eyes with a special membrane, so that bits of bone and viscera or a wildly thrashing fish won't blind them. I think the gaping dragon would do fine.

Microsoft announced they were going to keep GFWL in stasis so that games like Dark Souls didn't lose their multiplayer and I've not seen anything to contradict that.

See, this is why I don't listen to Jotsam when he tells me things. On the flip side, I'm not going to tell him he's wrong so that he will eventually get randomly invaded.

It's also possible (no reliable source, so grain of salt and all that) that on pc, steam would take over from GFWL. Dark souls has done pretty well on steam so it's not that unlikely.
