Dark Souls and Demon's Souls Megathread VI. Katana Gank Squad Edition - Games

whats with that little cross symbol next to the shield and under the covenant symbol?

[QUOTE=For No Reason;48390298]whats with that little cross symbol next to the shield and under the covenant symbol?[/QUOTE] It's to signify that you can shift into battle arts mode with that shield, so when you press L2 with that shield, instead of Parrying you'll do your battle arts stance. [editline]6th August 2015[/editline] I wonder if you can actually still parry when in battle arts though, I imagine it would be pressing L1 while holding L2 if you can.

i thought it was something like that but what of the number next to the one under the covenant symbol

[QUOTE=For No Reason;48390398]i thought it was something like that but what of the number next to the one under the covenant symbol[/QUOTE] In the IGN 16 minutes gameplay, the player switches into battle arts and then attacks, and then the number goes down, so maybe it's the amount of attacks you're allowed to do in battle arts before sitting at a bonfire.

And I guess they are replenished by death and possibly some consumable in the future we don't know about yet (heard the guy confirm the battle arts didn't replenish at bonfires)

Though I'm not really sure as to why they would limit it, perhaps it's attacks have hyper armor or are capable of going straight through an enemies poise.

I'm really really sorry guys, but I couldn't play the demo after all. It was literally hell. I sat in the line for like 2 hours, while not being able to move in any direction because there were people [I]everywhere[/I], literally, it was like 40°C and I got physically sick. And I had to pee really bad. I would've had to wait like 7 hours in that line to play the game. I feel devastated and Dark Souls 3 managed to defeat me without me even touching it. Please don't hate me. I'm uploading a video of the insane queue later.

[QUOTE=Ray551;48391714][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNYqAuDOI4s[/media] This was before I got to go there myself, it was worse later[/QUOTE] I wouldn't even considered waiting with a line that long.

So I am probably late with this gold but: [url]http://azure-gaia.tumblr.com/tagged/kart-souls[/url] [img]http://38.media.tumblr.com/b2f9b94f7bf6b0d454bc49f4149879ad/tumblr_nm8v4yuwze1qenj0wo1_400.gif[/img]

Im gonna get that ones it comes out. [editline]6th August 2015[/editline] Kart-Souls I mean

[QUOTE=Ray551;48391714][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNYqAuDOI4s[/media] This was before I got to go there myself, it was worse later[/QUOTE] it's like the comic-con line for the evil dead booth. just the booth. not even the panel.

Okay, so I got a kinda ridiculous [URL="http://mmdks.com/7huk"]Artorias build[/URL] I want to fuck around with, but I want to just get straight to the build to PVP without wasting hours and hours getting to it. How do ya'll feel about hax, and if you're OK with somebody getting something illegitimately *but playing legitimately with it* how would I do this? woo lvl 200 pvp

It's generally considered fine to use cheat engine for build creation.

Any confirmation yet whether DS3 is 30 or 60FPS on PC? 60FPS is the only other thing I need, and then I'll be happy. Maybe Fromsoft can be convinced to make that a thing, even if that's not their plan now.

[QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;48398118]They confirmed 30fps for all platforms shortly after the game was announced.[/QUOTE] Fuck. Hopefully mods can fix that without causing bans.

Ok I think the thing I hope they change in DS3 the most is the Soothing Sunlight and Bountiful Sunlight effect. In DS1, they showered you in a brilliant orange light that really stood out. DS2 felt really underwhelming. Compare these (1:33 and 2:35): [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXC0IGOPCrE[/url] to these: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/448458698792477030/211AA6CD435A56F68E5413F79B81FCB2F1388E50/[/t][t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/448458698792477414/6CA82C327914B96BF1BBC1D2D275829F99009C75/[/t] I also really hope they provide some much better cleric spells for supporting players. Sacred Oath, Caressing Prayer, and one of the Magic Barrier spells were a good start. Hope they expand on them. I loved showering hosts with heals in DS1 as a Princess' Guard.

[QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;48398118]They confirmed 30fps for all platforms shortly after the game was announced.[/QUOTE] Fucking disgusting. Don't hold back the PC version just because the console versions can't take it. Can't wait for the inevitable DSFix v2.0

[QUOTE=MrGreed;48394923]Get cheat engine and the Dark Souls cheat table. It's generally considered fine to use cheat engine for build creation.[/QUOTE] ever since the steam update the dark souls cheat engine just straight up refuses to run for me, is there an updated version out there or nah?

[QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;48398118]They confirmed 30fps for all platforms shortly after the game was announced.[/QUOTE] Is there a source that this includes the pc version? I've searched but can't find anything [editline]7th August 2015[/editline] It would be strange though as they've shown it isn't an engine limitation with pc version of ds2 and sotfs on next gen

i have waited 2 hours and 26 minutes but im almost there, dark souls 3 is less than an hour away

[QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;48398118]They confirmed 30fps for all platforms shortly after the game was announced.[/QUOTE] Could you post the source? Even if they lock the fps on PC, that likely won't be a problem considering DSfix.

[QUOTE=Hammer7;48400091]Also hope they don't nerf miracles into the ground like in DaS2.[/QUOTE] I'd be okay if they just get rid of the chimes. Throwing lightning is a bit less badass when you have to use a dinner bell to do it.

Dark Souls 3 was very fun, worth waiting 3 hours because im a nerd with no life, got to the first boss but ran out of estus Backstabbing is insanely easy, didnt try out parrying, secondary stance was handy for punishing whiffs, boss' moves were hard to read but i was able to avoid most by staying behind it
