Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(360,PS3,PC)v4 - Try Thrusting - Games

Transient Curses. And this isn't my first time going in New Londo, y'know... I'll be fine!

is it your first time as SL1?

Yep

then your past experience means nothing listen to my words or wallow in misery

what does SL1 mean? whats so special or cool about it?

level 1. limits your equipment options, your weapon options, your stats... it's like challenge mode [editline]21st February 2013[/editline] SL = soul level

It means Soul Level 1 and a SL1 Playthrough is going through the whole game without levelling up your stats, thus staying level 1.

well, keep us posted. good luck getting to squidward without dying.

Will do. And thanks!

[QUOTE=Nexus_Elite;39668213]I hit you with my claymore several times, since, i saw the damage taken. It was probably your giant hat, that was taking all the damage.[/QUOTE] Your zweihander kept knocking me off balance and chewing through my hp like a fat guy at Golden Corral. Out of everyone me and my biggest hat invaded, you were the most difficult.

Just won my first invasion, hurrah! We awkwardly circled eachother throwing knives for 10 minutes before I plucked up some balls and stun locked the guy. Aside from gankers PVP is the funnest part of dark souls, and even gankers can be funny. Sat at the top of dukes and shrugged for 10 minutes at a guy and his 2 phantoms who were farming darkmoons I guess. They got pretty mad. And that smugness you feel when you backstab said gankers host whilst he is trash talking on PSN. GOTY all years.

Has there been any new info on Dark Souls II?

Should I go for sunlight blade or darkmoon blade, 80 souvenirs seems a bit steep.

You have to kill Gwyndolin for SLB, so... [editline]21st February 2013[/editline] You're a darkmoon right?

God damn, PC Version of Dark Souls is the worst port I've ever seen. I finally decided to reinstall it and lo-behold, it loads up without crashing fine. Can't login to GFWL though, even after re-installing it multiple times, Xbox Live on my Xbox works fine, I tried DMZ, Port Forwarding, etc. So now, I go to boot it up again saying Fuck It, I'll just play offline and now the game can't boot up without freezing. I guess I'm stuck to my PS3. :C

Sounds more like a GFWL problem than a Dark Souls problem. Modders fixed pretty much everything about the port, but there's nothing anyone can do about Garbage for Windows Live.

It was like the whole Modern Warfare 2 "Yeah we're sticking to matchmaking decision" It's like, they went OUT of their way to make it shittier.

FROM already had Live-style online framework in place from the xbox version of Dark Souls, GFWL was the best option they could go with without investing tons of time/money to rebuild their multiplayer. That said, I'm so damn glad DkSII is going to use Steamworks.

Have they even confirmed that DkSII PC [I]isn't[/I] going to use GFWL?

Actually, you're right, I don't. We just know it won't be using GFWL and will be set up in a Demon's Souls style server-based multiplayer. [editline]21st February 2013[/editline] [url=http://www.darksoulsii.com/]Dark Souls II website[/url] has no GFWL logo. Also FROM has confirmed they'll be using servers, and IIRC GFWL is a peer-to-peer system.

On the topic of Dark Souls 2, do you guys want a sequel or a prequel? I'm personally hoping for a sequel because I NEED to know what happens next. Did they or did they not SHOWER ME WITH LIES?

I doubt it will be a sequel, since FROM would have to decide which ending is canon. The game is confirmed not to take place in Lordran, so it could conceivably take place at the same time as Dark Souls.

I.E: This new area follows the dark lord ending while Lordran follows the link the bonfire ending, or vice versa. I'm not sure how they could make it work, but as you said, it's hard to stick to do a sequel without choosing one ending as the real ending.

It was confirmed as a direct sequel a while ago. [URL]http://www.vg247.com/2012/12/15/dark-souls-2-a-direct-sequel-to-first-title-may-not-make-2013/[/URL]

Holy shit, Games for Windows Live support is actually really good. Very thorough and got my GFWL for Dark Souls to finally fucking work.

It's more likely that the Dark Lord ending will be canon, then, since linking the fire resets everything and generally sequels require some big change to the game world. Also, spotted this in the article: [quote]The game does not take place on Lordran, but the name of the game world will be revealed at a later date as it is the “key” to the story.[/quote] I think that means that you'll be in Catarina, Vinheim, or one of the other lands referenced in Dark Souls. Seems like the only reason FROM would hold it back, since people are going to recognize the name.

4:22 to 4:30 needs to be a gif its so hilarious [video=youtube;SeCVVWc_6IM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeCVVWc_6IM[/video]
