[QUOTE=backfoggen;37372949][video=youtube;-eeE9autPBs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eeE9autPBs[/video][/QUOTE] That didn't look smooth at all.

yeah youtube messed the video up while encoding.

[QUOTE=Ihasabucket;37372597]Hey, would you guys recommend a Pyromancer? My friend told me it's pretty useful, but I rather see if you guys got any insight. Also is the Thief even useful? My character on my friend's PS3 is a Thief and so far he's useless. I have yet to use the master key.[/QUOTE] For whatever reason I simply can not do well with the pyromancer, other people love him but I am shit at getting myself off the ground as him.

7 HOURS? fuck cmon man.

[QUOTE=DaedraWorship;37373266]7 HOURS? fuck cmon man.[/QUOTE] dont forget that gfwls unlock is even a couple hours after that. i haven't even gotten my key from gmg yet it blows very hard.

Because they are Soul Level 1 they can be shaped into pretty much anything you want or need. They also have a reliable stack of firebombs in the form of fireballs. You might run out of firebombs to use, but you will always have some fireballs for certain moments and bosses. The Master Key is only useful for some area's as Fuzzwaddle said, with the right knowledge you could find some pretty sweet items before fighting the Taurus demon. Such as the Green Crest Shield, Knight Armor, Elite Knight Armor, Havel's Ring (if you can kill him, good luck on that it might take a few attempts), stuff like that that you shouldn't have until after the Taurus demon onwards. Also, I think the main problem with blight town was the entrance from the depths onwards more than the bottom swamp area.

[QUOTE=Fuzzwaddle;37371140]I think this picture describes everyone's favorite bossfight: [IMG]http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt42b6QZag1r0y0f8o1_1280.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/1345056293128.jpg[/img]

I invaded a guy today, who had full Smough gear. He ran up into the boss room where you fight Ornstein & Smough, so I followed after him, expecting a fair match inside of a boss room, cool. Suddenly, Ornstein falls down from the right terrace. We stood around and did a few gestures, then I tried fighting them. Ornstein used lightning magic, Smough was always walking. I got to taste his hammer. It was delicious. Overall, best PvP match so far :>

Yeah, i think i might do some themed invasions in Anor Londo as Ornstein/Smough or maybe something in the Painted World on PTD Edition. Then again, i havent done a Dragon Character before, so i might look into that. (A glass cannon/hyper mode build is cool but, i dunno...)

Some dude already made a resolution patch for the PC version [url]http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=41330816&postcount=686[/url] It took him 23 mins lmao also keys up on gmg

Do you know what Dark Souls is missing right now? [url]http://www.edge-online.com/news/software-thwarts-early-dark-souls-players[/url] I knew it was missing something for today... But then again, that could be considered a challenge than a punishment.

[QUOTE=paul simon;37374379]I didn't know there even was a resolution limit[/QUOTE] The post refers to the internal resolution lock which would of made everything blurry and stretched at higher screen resolution. I know From had a lot of pressure on them while making this port but come on some guy did it in around 20 mins. Hopefully the FPS is unlocked soon.

[QUOTE=acds;37374498]Did he enable more (upscaled) resolutions, or fix the internal frame buffer?[/QUOTE] Frame buffer I think. There's more pics of it outside of that post.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;37374453]I love PC gaming.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I hate when we get shitty ports on PC but I love when the community decides to not settle and fixes the problem themselves. Awesome work by that dude and I just bought a copy because of him.

For those who don't know what it means here is a comparison pic. Left after, right before[IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26959050/1345745429465.jpg[/IMG] As you can see the one on the right looks blurry and pixelated due to it only being upscaled while on the left it's being rendered at the actual resolution.

jesus christ i am such a fucking idiot my brother and i share a computer but have different steam accounts. i just bought the game on his account. fuck me. i told him and he was nice enough that he bought the game on my account despite the fact that he's probably never even going to touch it. so uh. moral of the story is check which account you're fucking signed into.

The difference between native 1920x1080 and upscaled is amazing.

[QUOTE=acds;37374789]The difference between native 1920x1080 and upscaled is amazing.[/QUOTE] What's amazing is the fact the developers are too fucking lazy to take 23 minutes to give PC gamers more than an abysmal console port.

[QUOTE=Aedus;37374839]What's amazing is the fact the developers are too fucking lazy to take 23 minutes to give PC gamers more than an abysmal console port.[/QUOTE] It's not like they lied about it, they told us from the start that PC was getting a direct port. Considering that they weren't going to even make a PC version. Granted if it could be done in 23 minutes, without the source code. Still a great game though

Awesome just got my Dark Souls key from greenmangaming.

It took 1 guy under 30 minutes to do 1. It's not as if it was a team who modded it all to make it look better or re-textured the whole game. The game may be good, it may be great in fact, but I'm not going to fork over full price for a game, when it's clear they don't care about it other than treating it like a quick cash grab.

Did the release timer just go up to 13 hours on the store page?

To someone who has played this on PC, are the keyboard/mouse controls as bad as it was promised?

I'm not having any problems at all with the keyboard and mouse. I ended up rebinding some keys, though.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;37375117]Did the release timer just go up to 13 hours on the store page?[/QUOTE] Released day apparently moved up to 24th.

Does someone have a euro VPN we could use to unlock the game faster now that the time was pushed back for US TZ.? I remember doing it with skyrim.

[QUOTE=Wingedwizard;37375117]Did the release timer just go up to 13 hours on the store page?[/QUOTE] Still says 4 hours for me.
