I don't think I've used the battery in my DS4 beyond the first week and realizing how ultra lovely the lifespan is. Just pick up a 10' cable from Amazon or Monoprice or something for cheap, and accept it crossing your living room/bedroom.

UPS is trollin'. I woke up to a "Your Delivery Date Has Changed" email thinking fuuuuck!!! Only to open it to see my delivery window bumped later an hour. Whatever, can't really play until 5 anyway. I'm still just stoked Best Buy managed a release day delivery considering the horror stories I've read.

DarkAvenger211 posted:In the past what were the more popular platforms for Dark Souls? I'm looking to pick the game up for either PC or PS4, but I want the platform that would most likely have more players to choose from when doing invasions/coop and stuff. I don't even know if it's possible to get concurrent player numbers for PS4 like you can with steam. Between PC and PS4, PC is your only option. Dark Souls is a PS3 game, so that won't fly on PS4. Besides, to answer your question, the PC version is probably much more populated these days. Just look up some graphical tweaks to get it running and looking nice, and maybe a gamepad hack if it's needed (the KBM controls were totally lovely.) Edit: you may be talking about getting Dark Souls 3; both versions should be plenty populated with co-op players. enojy fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Harrow posted:Not far enough for either of those. poo poo. I believe the specific ash that unlocks titanite shards is found in the zone before the 5th(?) boss if you haven't skipped any optional bosses (Abyss Watchers). Is that even the 5th boss? I honestly lost count after a few for some reason and it's bugging the poo poo out of me. Either way, if you've fought that boss, backtrack through that previous zone (and try not to kill yourself doing so) and find dat ash. enojy fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Apr 14, 2016 |

Just a yes or no, please -- is it possible to mitigate the jailers' proximity effect on your health bar in Irithyll Dungeon? I really think I love this zone and wanna check all of it out, but these things are like twice as bad as the jailers from Latria.

LibbyM posted:I'm at what I'm pretty sure is the final boss now, and I want to check which optional things I could be missing. I've done up to the Duplicate firelink shrine, and I know where Smouldering lake is, though I haven't done it yet. Other than Smouldering lake what kind of big side paths might I be missing? Archdragon Peak, you get there by doing Path of the Dragon gesture where you find Dragon Torso Stone at Irithyll Dungeon. It's a decently big/cool zone. You can feel free to kill the last boss if you want, though; you'll get an ending but you can put off NG+ and keep playing that playthrough like in Dark Souls 2.

Endgame spoiler, do not click unless you've beaten the game. Is this supposed to happen? I thought it was a bug, but when I played it back, I caught some animation frames leading up to it. It being a bug would surprise me more than it turning out to be an inside joke from From, because well, you know. https://youtu.be/41ZVQiE_OGs

cheetah7071 posted:Anor Londo is really cool. I spent a long time being terrified of that fog wall. Too bad the boss is such a chump compared to what I was expecting. I felt this way about the majority of the bosses. It probably didn't help that I was probably somewhat overleveled for most of the game (I finished it at level 89.) Even still, the first three or four bosses were quite piddly in HP, before it was even really possible to be overleveled. Oh well, at least things should feel more appropriate in NG+. It's just a shame that lots of these bosses give a really intimidating impression, yet they go down so easily.

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:So who is the waifu of this game According to my roommate, who read every ounce of the wiki a week before the game came out in the US, it is Yuria, the NPC that replaces Yoel when he dies, provided you follow his quest line prior to entering the Abyss Watchers fight. Edit: wups it's not Yuria, it's Anri. There is a sort-of waifu situation with Sirris. If you complete her quest line, she asks to become your loyal knight or something like that, and I imagine from that point on you can summon her for bosses but idk because I didn't finish it until postgame and lol summoning for bosses. enojy fucked around with this message at 11:02 on Apr 18, 2016 |

voltcatfish posted:I think all I have left to do in the game now is beat the Nameless King Kinda, at least, I'd say. It's one of the last bosses I fought and was the first to make me say, OK, this boss is hard. In fact, probably the only boss I found hard. In the end, wasn't super hard; just a good traditional Souls boss where you just gotta learn through failure. The only boss I'd say is far and away harder is Ashen Wyvern minus the Dragon God 2.0 strat. On an unrelated note, this is such poo poo that there are trophy items (rings, spells, etc.) tied to max level covenant rewards. I don't normally sperg about trophies but I've 100%'ed all the Soulsborne games so far, so I kinda have to. This is like Demon's Souls level of repetition and frustration. enojy fucked around with this message at 07:51 on Apr 19, 2016 |

Fat Samurai posted:Catedral of the Deep or Farron Keep? I've been purple phantoming the last 2-3 hours in the first bonfire of the Cathedral, but I guess I should eventually play the rest of the game. Cathedral of the Deep is a big motherfucker of a zone. Then again, Farron Keep also feels like one due to the environment. I guess both are pretty big endeavors, but progression-wise, I think they intended you to go through Cathedral first.

Calaveron posted:It's kind of a bummer that I'm missing out on every single side quest so far. I haven't ran into Squidward since the settlement, Yoel died like a neglected puppy before I could get the levels I needed, and I haven't ran into Anri again after Road of Sacrifice. Additionally, Hawkwood left after I killed the abyss watchers but then returned after I reloaded so I think something glitched there. Hawkwood goes out front at some point to mourn at a grave and leave an item behind, then comes back in at another point.

Irithyll Dungeon is only "bad" because of the jailers. That tenseness they cause actually makes it pretty rad. I don't think anything in Soulsborne games has made me that on edge since the first time I stumbled into the Dragon God fight without knowing there'd be a boss fight immediately after a boss fight.

Souls-related: NIOH (PS4) is currently in open beta until May 5th for everyone outside the US. US is expected to get it within a day or so. If you're unfamiliar with NIOH, it's Tecmo Koei's sort-of approach to Dark Souls, but instead of high fantasy, it takes its cues from samurai/shogun/oni folklore. Has a distinct Ninja Gaiden mixed with Dark Souls vibe. Look up some videos if you're one of the three Souls fans who haven't yet heard of this game.

For the rings/sorceries/etc trophies, does anyone happen to know if they have to be collected on the same character? I'm like SL135 in NG++ getting ready to get all the NG++ rings, and just realized there's a small handful of rings/spells from covenants that I have no chance in hell getting at this level. Or could I just farm specific enemies for covenant rep items? I think I remember someone posting about that. I flat out don't like PvP so if I can do that for all PvP-centric covenants, that'd be great. enojy fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Apr 30, 2016 |

Steve2911 posted:gently caress I finally beat Aldrich. It came down to both of us being at basically zero health, me having no healing items left and sprinting towards him hoping I get a hit in before he does. I did that last night as well on NG++. Went in for the last hit right as he fired off the homing billion arrows that rain from the ceiling and how the gently caress do they fall with that kind of velocity when the ceiling is only like 30 feet up? I just stopped in my tracks after killing him, knowing drat well those arrows would probably still hurt, and they did. The really funny part is, the exact same thing happened with the two Aldrich Faithful invaders I had on my way up there.

Mazed posted:So I'm going through the Irithyll Dungeon. All they've really got is their pin-down attack, which will probably be a guaranteed kill no matter how much health you have, so if you just go into it cautiously to not get hit at all, the super low health thing is just there to scare you. This obviously does not apply to the conga line, in which yeah gently caress that cheese it with ranged attacks.

loving I feel some type of way about another framerate-killing can't-see-poo poo snowy Dark Souls DLC. Or maybe it's just my seething hate of the one from Dark Souls 2 still spilling over, years later. I don't hate it -- I've only played an hour and not yet encountered a boss -- but it's oppressive as hell, perhaps by design? All I know is I already don't want to play any more tonight. WAAAHHHHHH About Yoel/Yuria: every NPC has referred to me as Yuria's Lord of Hollows so far. I've killed Gwyn Mk.
