[B]THOSE FUCKING TWO ARCHERSSSSSS[/B]

the level design in this game is fucking diabolical

[QUOTE=No_0ne;35594140]the level design in this game is fucking diabolical[/QUOTE] It's funny because you probably haven't been in The Tomb of Giants yet

Thinking about getting this for PS3. I loved Demons. Debating because of the PC announcement

That place is so fun, love the lighting of that place. [editline]17th April 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=sHiBaN;35594731]Thinking about getting this for PS3. I loved Demons. Debating because of the PC announcement[/QUOTE] If you can wait it out sure why not, but best RPG I played in recent memory.

So there is a petition to make Dark Souls not use GFWL... [url]http://www.change.org/petitions/namco-bandai-and-from-software-release-dark-souls-pc-edition-without-games-for-windows-live[/url]

Maybe I got in there at a high level (60ISH?) or maybe it was cos I was Iron fucking Tarkus but that place was easy as fuck for me imo :o [editline]17th April 2012[/editline] Though I did fall off once or twice :v:

It's easy provided you can see. I usually do BoC first so I can grab the sunlight maggot, then haul ass. I have the place memorized now. :v: I can get from Firelink to dead Nito in about 15 minutes.

Also just learnt about the real nature of the ending, now I'm depressed :(

[QUOTE=Novangel;35594980]Also just learnt about the real nature of the ending, now I'm depressed :([/QUOTE] What real nature and which ending? Use spoiler tags, I guess.

You can get through the catacombs in less than a minute if you know how.

[sp]For the 'Good ending' aka lighting the fire, I thought you just turned into the next Lord of flame and lead the world sort of stuff, but you actually sacrifice yourself to restart the Age of Fire. FRAMPT LIED TO ME. And also the whole deal with Anor Londo and Dark Sun Gwyndolin using you and stuff too.[/sp]

The Age of Fire is an age of oppression for humanity, humanity is represented as darkness. The Age of Darkness is the age when man is ruled by man, not demons.[/sp]

I didn't even know who Kaathe was ;_;

Both Kaathe and Frampt are dicks who try to manipulate you.

Y'know, this might sound weird, but to me the Age of Fire seems similar to how we are kept dependant on fossil fuels by tycoons. Both involve higher powers using dark fuel to maintain dominance over the world, the main difference being that coal and oil are exploited mainly for money and economic superiority. Also, what do you think we could expect from the next addition to the Souls series, other than hardcore "ready to die" kinda difficulty?

i don't know about you, but i'd kill for a more medival setting with more npcs and armies and stuff

Invasions would be way more nerve wracking!

What's a good level for the Anor Londo bosses, Fuck that fat ass and his Partner I'm 53 and there cutting me to pieces, Need to find humanity....

Somewhere around there is fine. If you have pyromancy it's a lot easier. Basically just run around a lot until the small one is far enough away from the big one so you can hit Orn a few times. Repeat until he dies. Mega-Smough is easy, just roll a lot.

[QUOTE=Waluigi;35595953]Die once, start the game over. Invasions would be way more nerve wracking![/QUOTE] To make it more fair, I'd think that you'd be constantly human but free from invasions. Right when you start and you're invaded by a BB glitcher, you're fucked.

[QUOTE=Waluigi;35595953]Die once, start the game over. Invasions would be way more nerve wracking![/QUOTE] I dunno about it being as standard, but as an option to toggle when starting a new game, it'd be cool. In circumstances where death results in severe consequences, it's important for such deaths to be easily knowable; with each death you need to know that the deaths were your own fault, and not a cheap death like a critical failure dependant on a diceroll. In my view, having permadeath as standard, as in it can't be toggled, should work best with short experiences, like a short campaign that doesn't take too long to complete, similar to how the ever-popular Binding of Isaac works. If someone wants to put on permadeath in a long-stretch campaign, if they think they can handle the increased importance of staying alive in a difficult environment, then they can do that, but have it as an option. Regardless of my views, having a Hardcore option for Next Souls would be a cool thing. OR, here's a similar option that goes back to an ancient tradition of yore; Lives. Each death would cost you a life, and dying with no lives would be the end of you. One could find items in the world that constitute as 1-Ups, allowing you to give yourself more chances at success; or perhaps Humanity could act as lives. Do you think having limited lives would be a welcome challenge to the Souls games, or are limited lives an old mechanic that have had their day?

I would love to do a Ironman of this, But the only thing preventing me from doing that is Ceaseless Discharge and Bed of Fucking Chaos. I just done the Bed of Chaos a while ago, There was 4 times where i got up and close to the "core" of the thing and the fucker performs a fire AOE attack that covers the entire branch tunnel. Pretty much killing me instantly.

Yes, i've heard that the Bed of Chaos has drawn ire from many a player.

So, I wanted to know what the community's all around thoughts are on the Dark Wood Grain Ring? I do know that it's hated when used in conjunction with Havel's Ring (To be completely honest, I used to do this, but never invaded anyone. Either way, I've since stopped), but what about when it is used on it's own?

What is this "Dark Wood Grain Ring"? Does it decrease equipment burden like Havel's Ring?

Lets you do ninja flips (Shown at 0:45) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1EDaHn6NZ0[/media] If I remember correctly, all it does is cover more space (And looks cooler).

[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;35598252]Lets you do ninja flips (Shown at 0:45) If I remember correctly, all it does is cover more space (And looks cooler).[/QUOTE] It also has a longer invincibility time compared to being under 25% equip weight.

All i need to do is get 5 weapons for the Knights Honor achivement and Resist Curse from Ingward and i have all the Sorcerys, Miracle's and Pryo's for my Witch character. And i have myself a few Slabs too for even more achivements, closer to getting them all. The downside however... [sp]Siegmeyer died on me however, FUCK!![/sp]
