[QUOTE=PieClock;37574504]I fucking shat myself when I ran into the sanctuary garden for the 2nd time. Well played From, well played.[/QUOTE] [img]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=73485&dateline=1336518339[/img] Praise the Sun!

[QUOTE=Novangel;37574106]There's definitely one. Not sure about two.[/QUOTE] There are only 2 in the entrie game, one underneath Ingward in that big room, the other one is hidden in some corner by the first fog wall that you encounter in New Londo, there is also a chest.

Goddamn, managed to kill the two sanctuary guardians. It's like Ornstein & Smough but with 2 Ornsteins.

Do bonfires in an area kindle after you defeat the boss of that area? I didn't kindle either bonfire in Blighttown but they're both kindled now.

Was thinking about making dueling characters with my group of friends. We'd stop leveling when we get the red sign soapstone or join the Path of the Dragon, so probably SL50-70 with absolutely no rings or magic shit, just straight melee. So basically we would duel and fight with improving our melee skills in mind instead of using magikku shit or other bullshit people might pull off.

You've probably had to answer this a million times already but, how's the PC version? Looking to upgrade my pc soon and this is one of the games I had in mind to get soon after it so basically just wondering if it's worth getting on the pc or if I would be better off just getting it on the Xbox.

Disregarding all this, the game is great.

Unless you have regular problems with GFWL that is. But performance wise, as I said, flawless.

Is there anything after Manus? Also he's kind of a let down. Really, the Four Kings were cooler, and this guy is supposed to be the father of the Abyss. Other than the arena being a lot less cool than the FK one, he's just... Well I expected a lot more considering his title.

Reading the lore, it seems not all of the DaS world is a fucked up, depressing shithole filled with things that want to murder you. Why don't player characters ever say fuck it and go to Carim with the Gods spending the rest of their (eternal) lives partying, get drunk as fuck and having sex orgies and whatever the fuck Gods do. That's what I'd do.

Okay not really.

I can't find one damn summon sign anywhere. I can't beat Kalameet at all, I've only got him down to about half hp but that 360 attack he does negates my shield defense.

[QUOTE=PieClock;37577427]The game is pretty much flawless with an Xbox controller and the resolution patch. Unless you have regular problems with GFWL that is.

The new content is also great

[QUOTE=Foogooman;37577814]Manus is just the left hand of the father of the abyss That's why his name is Manus, after the italian word "mano" meaning hand. Okay not really.[/QUOTE] I was actually worried he'd just be the hand we see pulling you in, very much because of his name (it's literally "hand" in Latin, also were the Italian word comes from, if you know Italian you can understand Latin pretty much).

Well the obsidian greatsword is a bit of a letdown.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;37578136]Well the obsidian greatsword is a bit of a letdown.[/QUOTE] Letdown? From what I've seen it does a ton of damage and has a ridiculous 2 handed special attack.

[QUOTE=n0cturni;37578192]Letdown? From what I've seen it does a ton of damage and has a ridiculous 2 handed special attack.[/QUOTE] The aoe attack takes a while to do and personally I haven't run into that many situations where I needed an aoe attack. Maybe it's more useful if you run straight into a room with enemies and use it.

What are your guys' specs? I mean I get 30 fps pretty consistently only in small areas like undead burg and new londo. Anywhere else I'm getting 15.

30 FPS is pretty noticeable, being used to 60. Still, it's a stable 30 so it's not as bad as on consoles.

So anyone wanna help me beat 4 kings? Someone do a low level run with me, then we can be darkwraith faggots in undead burg together.

Also felt like shit earlier today. Was in Oolacile and got invaded, we are in a cramped room and circling eachother with the shield up, suddenly he drops the shield so I swing my BK halberd. Turns out he was bowing. Then we start circling each other again, again he drops his shield and uses an item (didn't wait to see what it was) and I backstab him. Turns out he was throwing a talking thingy. Oh well, he should have engaged me in a more spacious place if he wanted to bow, or at least not do so after circling eachother for a while.

I gave up trying to cut off Seath's tail. I kept letting him destroy the crystal to stun him, but I could never make it around him and do enough damage without spending all my endurance. Otherwise, he was super-duper easy. Two down, Bed of Chaos and Nito left.

Just poured all my Twinkling Titanite into Marvellous Chester's gear because I love the way it looks. I feel like it was a bad choice since there are statistically better ways to spend all that Twinkling Titanite... but seriously. It looks so great.

Not like Twinkling Titanite is hard to get a hold of, anyway. I got like 15 drops just on my way to Seath, without even wearing the CGSR.

Even with that big old ever-popular performance fix, I'm still getting constant 15 fps. The game is completely unplayable like this because even though it is still possible to run the game, the controls are so laggy given my framerate that I wouldn't even want to. System spec recommendations should mean that you can run the game properly if you are past them, From! I find it so weird that there are people out there having no problems at all, and then people like me who can't even run the damn thing.
