What's with the eh... bretonnian dance, sir?

So does this game just desperately hate controllers. It wouldn't take my DS4 natively, I turned on DS4windows with the game already on and replugged and it didn't take that, X'd the game and redid my DS4windows and didn't want it then afterwards either.

Close everything, boot up DS4windows, go to settings, check the box "hide ds4 controller". Start the game

Ended up finding this elsewhere just a little after asking, controls right as rain now.

Undead Settlement is suddenly crashing the gently caress out on me for no discernible reason, not fun times.

I got most of the way through the area then randomly crashed while in another dude's world, start back up and crash after hitting a few random dudes, restart it one more time and then it crashes moments after walking a few feet.

I sure enjoy the "Framerate issues detected, no online for you, returning to main menu, start the whole program over rear end in a top hat" feature going off real easy sometimes. I get like 50-60 FPS constant for 90% of my play, but sometimes the obvious little stage transition bits (Small bridge that's the only way out of and into X area) will just tank my frames down to powerpoint mode for a minute, not even consistently, sometimes they will and sometimes the very same one won't, then it goes bananas and welp you might as well have crashed game, it would've been quicker.

The Farron GS is awesome even just for the L1 alone and I'd recommend it any day over the wolf stance other thing. Even in PvP it's been fun as hell, the L1 slide can really easily just zoom you behind someone turtling and you can proceed to spin all over their back.

Literally styling opponents to death at this point.

I'm about 10 hours into the game and my game has started crashing within seconds of loading into the world at firelink shrine, what do I do? I've tried lowering all my settings but it hasn't helped.

Make sure lighting in particular is set to low, also wear a full-face helmet when possible. Also try disabling the steam overlay.

Somehow these are the top tips for reducing the frequency of this game exploding.

If anyone ever says they're gonna buzz off, kill them immediately so you can get their stuff because they're lying about that "We're enemies now bit", they're actually about to dodge you for the rest of the game.

There isn't a major difference between the <30% and <70% rolls.

If I remember right the 30 just goes farther and there's not actually much of a gamey advantage in terms of iframes or anything.

Plus fashionsouls is way too important for me to care about any kind of lame build optimizing, only limit being 70%+.

Thinking of item discovery and whatever, be sure to rock the crystal sage rapier if you're gonna try to farm something up, it gives a ridiculously significant boost to item find as long as it's out, which for me just meant in the left hand 'put away' belt slot while I 2h'd my big main weapon.

Offline yes, dudes like Heysel and stuff can still roll in on you, however you do still need to be embered I think.

i don't get why people complain about build variety or whatever in bloodborne i'd much prefer a much smaller amount of weapons and types for that level of coolness.

I don't get how people still do the "Bloodborne had so many less weapons!" thing. Like sure on pure numbers I guess, but that's because BB didn't have anywhere near as much of the "Straight sword, but like this. Katana, but with this heavy attack. Spear, but shorter." redundant junk weapons, which I'm pretty cool with throwing in the trash if it means more actual value to every weapon.

I'm pretty new to Dark Souls (finished 2 right before 3 was released, finished 3 and I'm playing 1 now) and I have a question for the veterans: Is it me or is it loving impossible to trigger jump attacks reliably? In all 3 games it has been a gamble if up+RT would actually trigger the jump attack or if it would just launch the normal R2 attack. Or maybe my 360 controller is broken?

It definitely feels a little finicky sometimes, especially compared to the kick which I manage to set off a lot more often than I'd like while trying to jiggle in fights.
