Dark Souls (PC/PS3/360)v2 - Prepare to Die edition. - Games

Whoever said that there was going to be a Black Dragon boss, I hope he appears in Ash Lake. And the Guardian of the Tomb should be in Gwyn's firstborn's tomb. Assuming the giant tower in Firelink is Gwyn's firstborn's tomb like ENB predicts.

probably ash lake feels like the whole area's a massive boss room but the boss was scrapped and replaced with a cheap hydra [editline]7th April 2012[/editline] fittingly long walk from the great hollow bonfire too

so the new content is for the pc version only? uncool, what about us console peasants?

[QUOTE=Japancakes;35472055]free dlc? [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/rainbow.png[/img][/QUOTE] I'd reckon a 10 dollar DLC or so on the console. Make the PC release a better deal with the game and the DLC.

I'm curious about how the controls on PC are going to work. Seems like it could work really well, or not work at all.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;35463562]I don't know how well Dark Souls would work on the 3DS. Maybe if they completely reworked it, but it takes super precise movements and super fast reflexes, and it seems kind of hard to integrate a touch-screen in a way that isn't tacky or a pain in the ass.[/QUOTE] The vast majority of good DS games don't use the touchscreen at all or for anything other than inventory management and/or maps. I would assume that in Dark Souls 3DS it would be the former, works well since you can't pause anyway.

Same thing could apply for a Wii U version of Dark Souls, though they'd probably never do that due to perceptions of Wii being for casuals.

[QUOTE=PieClock;35425370]Oh man. I just past the Anor londo archers and got in the building, but couldn't light the bonfire because I had a summon with me. So we continued on to the first silver knight then we got invaded. The invader took down my summon and I had me down to a straw of HP before I landed my last hit. Thank fuck.[/QUOTE] The summon MIGHT have been me, remember his name? Also some pretty minor news, nothing TOO exciting [url]http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=469409[/url]

Made a new PvP character. This time I started with a Sorcerer for the 3 attunements slots, and I'm rolling with Hidden Body, Chameleon, and Poison Mist. Poison mist is amazing. I haven't tried toxic mist yet, but I'm sure it's much deadlier (it also only has one use, unlike poison mist which as 3). [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] I should also mention that I solo'd the 4 kings at level 35. Is that something to be proud of? [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] God damnit. Every time I try to invade someone, I use my red eye orb and it says it's searching for a world to invade. And then nothing happens and I get invaded instead.

we should all gather by the group for coop sessions again [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/facepunchdarksouls]link if you haven't joined[/url]

I don't think I've successfully used Toxic on someone, yet. It does however make a very good get-away spell. I have also learned today that Hidden Body will stop homing souls from targeting you completely.

I actually just made an SL35 darkwraith as well, and I restarted and bb glitched after I tried to kill them with a bandit's knife about 5 times. Don't think I've beaten them without havel's set to this date... Invading can be annoying because if you're invading someone as a darkwraith, that means that anyone else can invade you just as easily. It's still searching after "Searching for a world to invade..." disappears, so you don't have to re-use it until it says "Failed to invade.". A good strategy I use when I don't want to deal with other invaders while trying to invade is to keep an eye on your orb, as it greys out when you're being invaded. So when that happens, just quit to the title screen and reload the game. [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] Looks like new areas to me :D

Holy shit yes, I saw that gryphon guardian manticore whatever the fuck it is in the artbook and was sad that it wasn't in the game. Looks totally badass. [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] Also it might just be me but that sword in the third picture doesn't look like something I've seen before. I don't think Astora's straight sword has a hilt like that. [editline]8th April 2012[/editline] It actually does, nevermind :v:

But shit, can't Manticores petrify people? Considering what every other form of petrification does in this game, we may have another boss that can inflict curse on our hands.

Whee, killed a dragon down in the sewers with the help of some guy. Also killed an invader in like 5 seconds with the help of said guy. He was a nice fellow, messaged him afterwards. Sometimes this game is nice. And I say this before I go into Blighttown.

I still think a Four Kings "survival mode" would be a lot of fun.

Someone please tell me how the moonlight sword works, or rather how it doesn't work. I've been stunlocked with it at least a million times now.

So Dark Souls is coming out for PC with some new stuff. Is that what that big announcement was or is there still more?

The Facebook wall reveal hasn't been broken down yet, so there's still more to it.
