Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VII. Now Only Embers Remain - Games

[t]http://i.imgur.com/8y96HoA.jpg[/t] I'm running out of slots. That is not good.

I was thinking of a dex/int build for my character in Dark Souls more than a dex/str one, to be honest

dex and strength will let you play with more of the weapons your first playthrough

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;49474802]dex and strength will let you play with more of the weapons your first playthrough[/QUOTE] And you can still pump your int enough to use a handful of spells. Imo there aren't too many beyond Crystal/Great/Magic Weapon that are good for mixed builds. Most of your spell utility comes from builds with more Int than anything.

[QUOTE=E.C.S;49474358][t]http://i.imgur.com/8y96HoA.jpg[/t] I'm running out of slots. That is not good.[/QUOTE] I maxed out my slots long ago. I find it much easier to start from scratch than to pick up a character after a long time. I always feel like I'm forgetting to do something that I wanted to do with the old builds.

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;49471420]You could get away with 1-handing the Uchigatana with the Target Shield. It only has DEX scaling, so using it 2handed won't increase its attack rating. I don't think the moveset differs much either[/QUOTE] Pretty sure 2h always gives a damage boost regardless of scaling, it's something like 15-20% more damage

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;49470453] wut that's one of the Chaos weapons I tested, both in-game and on Mugenmonkey. Damage stays the same from 10 humanity onwards[/QUOTE] Maybe they changed it in a late patch, but I have done several runs where I use the Fury Sword and getting 11 Humanity has always been the cap for damage. The damage increase from 10 to 11 is very small, but from what I've seen it absolutely exists.

been a few years but i want to go through ds1 and actually 100% it including dlc this time, last time i beat ornstein and smough then stopped playing. I want to make a moonlight greatsword build and play with some magic because i usually always go strength great sword in every souls game. What do i use until i can get the mlgs Going 25 vit 40 endurance 50 int 16 str so i can equip the sword, rest base for pyromancy

probably the claymore or something so you can get used to the swing time of greatswords. unless MLGS is an ultra in which case use the zwei

I used the Moonlight Butterfly Horn on my build before i got the MLGS.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;49452258]if DS2 had been released like it's in SotFS it would have been a lot better received I still think a lot of the hate for the game is undeserved but I guess "ds2 is shit" is ingrained in the public consciousness now[/QUOTE] The problem is just that you feel how rushed its development was. You felt that the team struggled developing it by cutting stuff out, illogically connected levels, broken mechanics and downgraded graphics.

should i unlock ds1 to be 60 fps with dsfix?

[QUOTE=mickers;49476347]should i unlock ds1 to be 60 fps with dsfix?[/QUOTE] for the most part you /can/. just be careful on like, ladders, since you might phase through the world if you slide down them. backspace is the default toggle key for unlocking fps

Summoning Knight Solaire for the gargoyle fight after repeated failure netted me not only victory, but the beast's tail and a helmet. A nice bonus, but hopefully there'll be another opportunity to get the fanged boar helm, as it looks so much nicer.

mnn, ill leave it for now then thx lintz and ozzy Shouldnt be too bad playing it at solid 30 , been playing unpatched bloodborne a and the fps drops actually make me feel ill. Lets hope DS3 isnt locked to fps like the other games.

Lets hope DS3 isnt locked to fps like the other games.[/QUOTE] It tends to dip if you have stuff open in the background, I've noticed Playing Dark Souls at more than 30FPS may result in collision detection shitting itself (what lintz said), your jumps being shorter, timings for animations being messed up...

What are some good bosses to co-op on bloodborne? I'm level 81 I wanna get some vermin

[QUOTE=OzzyCockroach;49476413]it's already confirmed 30fps across all platforms so I assume it is :v: [/QUOTE] Even for PC? Oh pls no

Someone told me Micolash was good to co-op at level 80 or so That's all well and good but Micolash is a little turd

[QUOTE=Antimuffin;49476441]Even for PC? Oh pls no[/QUOTE] No idea, but DS2 went up to 60 so I'd imagine they won't cap it at 30.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;49476457]No idea, but DS2 went up to 60 so I'd imagine they won't cap it at 30.[/QUOTE] 60 in ds2 was pretty broken till the scholar of first sin release a year later. Halved the ammount of hits it took to break your weapons. It was so painful to have my greatsword break in somtimes 10 hits if you hit a ragdoll or wall weird. Carried around 3x +10 greatswords

what you could do is go into the dsfix ini and unlock fps but manually limit the fps to 30 that way it's a lot smoother than leaving it at the default fps lock

Only boss I can reliably find someone for is Ludwig. Which would be fine except everyone ends up getting killed to him. I just want my stupid bucket hat

Any suggestions for a good build to get 100% with on DS1? Looking to get the Steam achievements. I'm thinking start with pyro for the flexibility not sure where to head from there.

Wow me and some dude named Clamp just absolutely destroyed Ludwig. Fight lasted for less than a minute. Jesus

[QUOTE=AXidenT;49476626]Any suggestions for a good build to get 100% with on DS1? Looking to get the Steam achievements. I'm thinking start with pyro for the flexibility not sure where to head from there.[/QUOTE] you don't have to do it all on one character.

[QUOTE=lintz;49476669]you don't have to do it all on one character.[/QUOTE] Don't you have to get all weapons on a single character for Knight's Honor, though?

Damn i still need to get the Pure Bladestone for Demon's and many stuff for DKS1, otherwise i 100% DKs2\Sotfs and Bloodborne :cry: For fast Vermin at early level just do the Trio of Yharnam, just hope you don't run into a NG+ host.
