So has there been any word on returning softban or any other kind of anti-cheat? Also after utterly failing to be engrossed in Bloodborne I'm pretty excited to have a new souls game and I hope they didn't take too much from Bloodborne.

No crashes but the framerate tends to be unstable for me on my 660. I'm assuming its just because it's an old card? I've got it set to windowed mode and it defaulted to high, but once I got to firelink it decided I had an unsuitable framerate for online and kicked me to offline. Oh well I probably wouldn't be doing any co-op or invasions for a while yet.

net cafe scandal posted:Bite the drat bullet and set your settings to low, people, theres not much of a difference. But then I'll only see ten reflected shiny butts and ninty nine pieces of wavy grass instead of twelve butts and a hundred grass. Anyway that first boss was pretty rad, if confusing. Why did he turn into a resident evil boss? I guess that'll be explained. I liked it though, a simple fight to get back into the game and I can't wait to get good and go back and beat that stupid lizard to death.

I managed to get my framerate not bad by turning off poo poo I hate like motionblur and reducing reflections and crap like that so the game still looks good and things I don't actually pay attention to, don't ruin the show. Also there's a giant tree, like the one from Dark Souls 2, near the shrine. Neat.

Internet Kraken posted:Katanna guy is supposed to be hard? I killed him without taking damage. I was super paranoid about his weird stance being a parry though so I threw fireballs in his face a lot. I tried to roll behind him for a backstab and he was having none of that. EDIT: wait is there no bonfire in firelink?

So what do you do when the katana guy just spams his dash attack non-stop? Because I can't even get him to do a single parryable attack or anything. He just does that one attack constantly, I can't get behind him and I can't parry it.

BobTheJanitor posted:That explains it. Thanks. (Still would have been better to just let you level at every bonfire but eh) This game seems to be making a lot of Demons Souls callbacks though. Granted Darksouls 2 did the same thing but she even chants something similar to what the black maiden or whatever did in Demons. It's probably the closest we'll get to a PC port of Demon's Souls.

Etrips posted:As a newbie knight, what should I be dumping my stats into? Whatever you want. Do you have anything in mind for what you want to wield later on down the road? DEX and STR are always good choices if you plan to be melee. VIT is nice since it increases your equipload and being able to fast roll in a nice shiny suit of armor feels good. Otherwise you can't go wrong with health or stamina.

StarkRavingMad posted:Man, I missed having a shield in Bloodborne, this feels so much more natural to me. Honestly most of the starting gifts in this game kind of blow, probably because in the other games there was always one that was almost gamebreakingly good. The fire gem is probably the best one this time around for the early damage, but overall they're nothing that really makes or breaks the game. I went with the health ring just because.

So these big knight guys in the first real area, I can't back stab them apparently. Can they be parried? The ones with a shield are pain in my rear end because the shield is big and blocks most of the damage. EDIT: Oh. Cool. The big mutating guy respawns every time. I thought he was a miniboss. Is there a shortcut I can unlock or something? Nuebot fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Anyone know where I can get a better weapon any time soon? I love Great Swords or even Ultra Great Swords, this starting sword just doesn't do it for me and I'm not sure I really want to go whole hog and put the points into Dex right now or not to wield the katana.

GreyjoyBastard posted:There's an elevator not too much past him, or yeah, you can book it. I have arrows but no bow. Anyway turns out I'm not far from the boss apparently. Just run from the fat guy downstairs and I'm there. I think at least. Sadly I have no estus because I got hit by poo poo and now am considering just going back and then trying again. Does the big guy respawn by and by? He's kind of an rear end in a top hat. At one point I had him fall down a ledge but his spear can go through all physics objects and kill me.

I shove the souls in to use the katana, turns out it does way less damage than my sword. Bummer, oh well I upgraded the sword I found and now off to kill this jackass, hopefully I can make it to him without getting my poo poo kicked in this time.

The first real boss is pretty fun. Still simple but interesting and introduces something new. I feel like this game above all else takes the best from the souls series so far and does its best to make the most of it, it even takes elements from two and uses them in cool ways and it gets a lot from bloodborne without its front loaded bullshit.

Thumbtacks posted:Don't get me wrong, I love this game and am going to play the hell out of it, but does it feel like a weird amount of fan service? Like I can tell half the enemies were put in just because people liked them and wanted their poo poo and they don't thematically fit there at all, and a lot of the zones seem to be them squashing two or more levels together (i.e. Farron feels a lot like Blighttown and Forest, Catacombs feel like...well, the Catacombs, plus Sen's and the Depths). I mean I'm not complaining, it just feels weird. What enemies? That being said it is pretty fan servicey considering how many returning weapons there are, some odd choices made it in as boss soul weapons.

So what does hollowing do in this game anyway? Like, what are the side effects of dying after you get the mark, and accumulating more of them?

One thing I don't like is that enemies tend to be inconsistent about combos. I fight this lotheric knight like ten times, he does a two hit combo every time. Eleventh time I fight him, I go for the kill after the second hit and he busts out a five hit combo for the first time ever.

So the dragon on the wall, I hate it and I want it to die. Has anyone figured out a good way to do it? The fire seems to hit everywhere and anywhere. EDIT: Turns out the answer is to stand in the doorway below the tower fire and shoot it in the rear end. It doesn't die though and that makes me mad. I lust for dragon death.

Ulvirich posted:Decide on a direction you want to go in, make some headway into the other direction until Halitosistraza starts emitting fire and back up until it's done, then Run Like Hell in the direction you chose. Ahead and to the right underneath the turret ( with the bonfire up top), you can stand in the doorway and shoot about a hundred arrows into it's left wing to get it to gently caress off so you can loot in peace. I would really recommend you stand in the doorway before unleashing arrows. Yeah, figured it out. Then I used the last of my arrows and firebombs to kill that mimic because the first time I fought it, it kicked me in the skull and broke my defense and almost oneshot me. Then kicked me again and that was that.

I love reading the wiki and seeing how many people are jumping the gun on the lore poo poo. This boss wields a sword? It must be artorias! And then half the pages half people writing fanfiction comments for ~lore reasons~. I can't wait for this to turn out like the bloodborne wiki where people just start wiping out whole pages of useful information over lore edit battles.

So there's one door I can't seem to figure out in the Wall of Lothric. It's the area below the tower bonfire, before the locked up NPC. It's a one way door with what looks like an elevator behind it, I can't seem to figure out what it could possibly lead to or how to open it, anyone know?

Thanks, now to move on after spending these souls so they don't go to waste.
