Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(360,PS3,PC)v3 - Dark Magic is perfectly balanced - Games

[QUOTE=MrGreed;39393694]I have never understood why people have so much against min/maxing in this game. Seriously, what the hell is the deal? Is it because "you're not supposed to play it like that" or something? Cause that's total bullshit.[/QUOTE] Because seeing a dad/mom mask in pvp makes everyone cringe

[QUOTE=HALP Cat;39393909]Because seeing a dad/mom mask in pvp makes everyone cringe[/QUOTE] I don't care how much people min/max as long as they aren't wearing the mother's mask. It's so god damn ugly. Father's mask is fine though since it's completely useless now :v:

What about the Child mask?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;39394001]What about the Child mask?[/QUOTE] I prefer grass crest shield so I don't have to wear any of those ugly masks

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;39393999]Rolling around with Smough's head and leggings + EK chest and Havel's gauntlets maybe be the most effective armor combination for your build but it looks fucking stupid and ridiculous[/QUOTE] But you're missing my point, some people don't care about the looks, the satisfaction comes from making the best of what you have. Also, that would look hilarious. I mean, seriously, if I ever met someone in pvp who was dressed like that, I'd have a good laugh, not complain about how he doesn't look cool. [QUOTE=salty peanut v2;39393968]because fighting against the same shitty cookie-cutter giants armor builds over and over is fucking boring as shit[/QUOTE] Do you meet a lot of cookie-cutter giants armor builds? I've rarely met them. Not saying that you're wrong, but from my own experience I've met few people who have builds like that. [QUOTE=HALP Cat;39393909]Because seeing a dad/mom mask in pvp makes everyone cringe[/QUOTE] Why? Because they're ugly? I'm sorry, but I don't see why you would care that much about something as trivial as a mask.

Who gives a shit how you look, as long as it's effective.

[QUOTE=DarkZero135;39393884]holy fuck i dont think i can do the capra demon like every video i see people just roll to the left and go up the stairs but whenever i do that i roll right into the dogs and just get stunlocked, its also fucking annoying that he can take half my health with one swing even with my shield up[/QUOTE] I once saw a guy cheat by just tossing poop over the wall at it until the toxic killed it after an hour or something.

I purposefully use shitty armor because it makes me look cool looks > stats, get on my level

i got some cool stuff from /r/darksouls that you have probably seen but are nonetheless awesome [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jvMbuCl.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/jB2wuPc.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://wallpoper.com/images/00/34/21/65/black-knight_00342165.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][IMG]http://awesmwallpapers.com/wallpapers/dark_souls_2-1920x1080.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] unfortunately these wallpapers don't come with a logoless version [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] also I really wanna get DkS for PC since my xbox version died, but I can't tell if my computer can run it. I have a Toshiba Satellite L755, running Windows 7 64 Bit, 4 gb RAM, 2.20 ghz processor, but my video card is some shitty intel one. Is it enough to run it at lowest settings? I would be in heaven. [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] Intel HD Graphics Family is its name

i strongly doubt you can run it, those are integrated graphics and will probably die if you breath firmly at them.

[QUOTE=postmanX3;39395280]i strongly doubt you can run it, those are integrated graphics and will probably die if you breath firmly at them.[/QUOTE] thought so. back to 12 year olds and fps issues for me

[QUOTE=Bathtub;39395306]thought so. back to 12 year olds and fps issues for me[/QUOTE] You think the PC version [I]doesn't[/I] have FPS issues? Also, do you guys think that the Uchigatana is better than the Iaito? I really think it is.

[QUOTE=MeltingData;39394313]I once saw a guy cheat by just tossing poop over the wall at it until the toxic killed it after an hour or something.[/QUOTE] It's entirely possible, and I've done it many times. Saves me a lot of heartache over the dogs. It only takes like 5 minutes for the toxin to kill capra. [editline]28th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=nehkz;39396467]You think the PC version [I]doesn't[/I] have FPS issues?[/QUOTE] On most PCs, only in Blighttown and the Chasm of the Abyss.

[QUOTE=nehkz;39396467]You think the PC version [I]doesn't[/I] have FPS issues? Also, do you guys think that the Uchigatana is better than the Iaito? I really think it is.[/QUOTE] It's just a matter of preference. I prefer the uchi's R2 poke to the iaito's R2 slash.

Any suggestions on a build for me now? I've done STR, DEX, SL1, and plenty of random builds. I don't know what to do next.

god damn this shit is getting me heated why does EVERYBODY tell all the new players to kill lautrec right off the bat? are some people unable to beat the game without the clutch ring? go through lautrec/petrus's/anastasia's story for once you NERDS. skip out on the jerkoff ring.

So I started my second playthrough, this time with online enabled. I get giantdad (actually THE LEGEND) twink'd hard right before the Berenike knight in the parish. I get a message later, it's the same guy, he says, "summon me in front of the steps i'll help you with the boss" I let him know I'd be okay, it was my second time, and thanked him for being a bro. What an encounter ._.

-snip- I was wrong about uchi.

[QUOTE=Morphology53;39397240]not to mention using the black orb to invade him is actually pretty fun[/QUOTE] my most favorite part of the game

Okay, thinking about getting the PC version (because why not, also the PS3 version that I have is a borrowed copy). Can I run the game with a ATI Radeon HD 5450?

System Requirements Lab is good for a basic idea of performance, so i recommend you check that out first, as well as because you need to take into account CPU strength and RAM, to a limited extent. but I would hazard that it's not going to run well on that, at all. do a lot of research first.

System requirements lab is shit. That thing says I can't run BF3 when I can run it on high. It says I can rn The Witcher 2 but The Witcher 2 runs like shit for me.

Daww, I trust System Requirements Lab, it hasn't wronged me for the times i've used it.

After restarting after 4 or so times, I can honestly say that my current Dexterity based character is the best I've made so far. I no longer have to worry about fat rolling and my +15 Great Scythe and Chaos Blade absolutely wrecks ass in PVP and PVE.
