What exactly is troubling you? The stodgy controls can't really be improved, nor can it be made less obtuse, but we might be able to help with other things.

Lunchmeat Larry posted:oh does anyone know how rolling/equip load works this time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhhB1dRPbwk Specifically the break points are at 70% for fat rolls, everything else is basically a fast roll below that, with lower range.

Aurra posted:Do enemies track the player as much as they did in 2? The addition of so many tracking attacks really killed my enthusiasm for the PVE experience and I never actually finished it, despite putting hundreds of hours into its predecessors over many playthroughs. Not as much, but there is still tracking, mostly on enemies larger than humans. E: Not to the extent of spinning 360s to hit the player though, it's much more like 1 tracking.

turtlecrunch posted:I also look forward to the game crashing all the time on PC for anyone who makes the mistake of not choosing the best class, as has been rumored. It was a pretty limited issue among the fairly large amount of people that got early PC copies, so it shouldn't be everyone if they didn't fix it.

The Walrus posted:So glad I can finally stop trying to enjoy DS2. The iron keep is the single most bullshit area in the entire game. every single other area has bonfires out the rear end, except for this one, which is huge and long and has a ton of bullshit enemies. also it's configured so it's impossible to just run through to the boss door. the boss is pretty easy but just getting to him is such total loving garbage, only exacerbated by the loving belfry bonfire that means you need to run through the bellfry and often get invaded before you can actually even start retrying the level again. oh dont forget the lava buckets that can trap you without warning meaning you need to restart the level also. Half of this is untrue and the other half is you being bad.

The Walrus posted:no it's bad design sorry. feel free to tell me why I'm wrong though, I don't think anyone has anything better do to do for the next hour You can run to the boss without taking a hit in both versions. It has three bonfires, more than almost every other area in the game. It's actually remarkably short between each bonfire and the larger volume of enemies is ameliorated by Alonne Knights not being a real threat. Belfy Sol is equally easy to run through. And if you're falling in lava buckets you're an idiot.

borf posted:Does magic/pyro/hexes take a little while to get going in traditional DS fashion this time around? Can't decide if I want to smash smash or burn burn, and I only have half an hour!! You can access pyromancy very quickly in the grand scheme of things, and it does very well without too much investment. Though pyro spells do require stats now for attunement. Sorc and Miracles take longer to get going and take a larger investment than you might want to exclusively focus on early on.

There's some speculation going around that having certain USB devices plugged in causes performance issues. I assume it's anecdotal, but more and more people are saying it, so who knows.

I also switch it up to Mound Makers from time to time because you only need to kill somebody as them.

I've found some bites for purple signs at Great Belfry, but no successful Invasions or bluecops yet I don't know if it's going to shake out this way on PC but it basically all happened in duels in the little ampitheatre after Pontiff or in invasions just after that area on PS4 JPN.
