Demon's/Dark Souls Thread. Dark Souls II!

wow some of those comments are so fucking stupid

and many of the reasons why nobody makes great games anymore.

The average core gamer is truly a piece of shit not worth pandering to.

Indeed!

Though I have to wonder why a sequel was needed now on current gen consoles when the new consoles will be out. I feel like this should have been a Fall 2014 game for XBO and PS4.

Sometimes the best games come out at the end of a generation, or games that make you think twice before making the leap to next-gen. Remember when we first saw Donkey Kong Country?

^Name another. I never really liked DKC.

Persona 4?

ARTBOOK!!!

Never played it. I’ll take your word on it though. Thing about those games though is that they didn’t have online elements to the games. That’s what worries me about a current gen release. How is Sony/Microsoft handling their current gen console services in 2014? How much time are they keeping the meter running for all that ish. A year? 2 years?

the whole bosses coming after you, is a strange idea. I dont think its a bad thing; just wondering how people are going to do speed runs for this game now. Also I would like it if they made the PvP better. If you pvp a lot in dark souls you know the best tactics are backstabbing, walk of peace spam wrath of gods, or use a mix of dark magic with C, soul spear

There were a LOT more viable builds than just that; those are the more common ones… however laggy backstabs/Pursuer users were just horrible. Mostly due to unavoidable situations where the guy would just teleport to your back from soul arrows length and then there you go, pretty much dead. Pursuers also being absolutely annoying to dodge in laggy situations as well.

If there’s something to improve, it’s the netcode and the backstab mechanic.

Well also I dont ever remember backstabbing ever being a problem in demons souls that much. And walk of peace is just retarded, it kills 90% of all melee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjMxB7w2qWE

Hey I really need some help. This game is just a little too hardcore for me call me a noob or whatever but I just cant really get busy with it.

I got a level 40 sorcerer, literally no spells, low stamina…I cant catch a break. If anyone wouldnt mind giving me a hand my GT is ToneOfARC

Buy some spells or just remake the character and distribute stats better.

Or someone could just join my game and help me out. I’m not starting over with a level 42 character that I have already clocked in at 30 hours.

What kinda shit is that

i would have to make a new character. Are you on PS3?

What are your stats at the moment? As long as you didn’t pump most of them into resistance it can’t be bad. There’s like a bajillion viable builds out there that you can fall upon. Also how far did you get into the game?

Doesn’t matter what class you start out either. Can start as a sorceror and end up building towards a STR build just fine.

anyone can go the easy way just start with drake sword, then buy some spells.

You’re a Sorcerer with no spells…? Where they do that at? It is a pretty good idea to post your stats so you can get an estimate as to what you can do for the moment to get by.

Again you’ll probably fall into some build that may or may not be a sorceror build, or be capable of building into something with some leveling. Most importantly you’ll want a weapon that suits that build and upgrade it. Proper weapons and upgrades that suit your build >>>>>>>>>>>> level

counts for sorcerors/faith users too since you’ll be better off with a catalyst that scales best at your current int/faith level. Also Moonlight Greatsword is amazing for sorcerors for pve and pvp once you have 40-50 int.

Having a Pyro glove is a freebie for any build as well just requires some soul grinding to max out.

Also upgrading your shield if you use one is important as well. Increases stability and you’ll be capable of blocking things you had no business blocking before if you got enough of it.

I’m not an RPG person so they all looked like numbers to me. Sorry just being honest. I still dont understand the +10 and +5 stats and how they relate to overall damage, I’ve read the wiki but its too much to take in for my first action rpg. I think my Vitality, Endurance and Intelligence are the highest.

I have a strong ass crossbow that I’m too slow to wield. Tin catalyst 145 found in Blighttown and a pretty decent sword around 245. Only spell I got is the arrow and great arrow, both slow and weak so I just spam crossbow and arrows. Some random guy came and dropped off some good items early on but now im fucked because my stamina is so low by the time I finish blocking I have no juice to attack back, plus my armor while pretty good is a little heavy so my bitch got the fat boy slow roll thats useless. I’m currently stuck in two spots, I cant even get to the 4 horsemen and the giant hydra + crystal golems in the forest own me before I can even get near the water. I’ve probably lost well over 200k souls and I have a shitload of titanium chunks and shards because I dont know how it all works.

I dunno if its been said already but they did a really shitty job giving new players a rundown of the actions and menus. Like theres no tutorial you’re throw into the wilderness the first 10 hours was just me learning the controls I didnt even know you could jump until I got to Drake Valley.

I’m on 360 but its cool I just taught myself how to mod saved games the last 2 and a half hours. So as soon as I pick up this USb flash I’m making a beasty bitch. Hella spells, that glowing sythe shit. Some cool ass armor. I’m giving that bitch the works.

Fuck this struggling shit.

Like if I have a weapon this guy gave me thats 245 and cant have more stats added to it, how do I know if a weapon with base stats of say…180 will be stronger than what I have if I power it up? I’m just so confused. This game isnt for new players its just so “well you should already know about these kinda games before you get this”

I got it because it was 10 bucks last week in the Marketplace
