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

Bloodborne annoyed me dearly when I went down into that creepy poison cave in the Forbidden Woods and came out next to Iosefka's clinic.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;48888163]Bloodborne annoyed me dearly when I went down into that creepy poison cave in the Forbidden Woods and came out next to Iosefka's clinic.[/QUOTE] I don't even bother trying to fight anything there anymore. I just run straight through. The poison water in nightmare frontier has such good loot but it's incredibly easy to die there. Giants and poison water I can handle but giants, poison, and the stunlock maggots are just too much.

[QUOTE=ryfry99;48887124]Last night I got invaded by big boss and got help from a blue sentinel named shrek. Yup I'm playing dark souls alright. Big Boss was disguising as objects and Shrek was a really fat naked guy that punched shit with me.[/QUOTE] That's funny actually. I dunno what the general opinion on him is, but I noticed [URL="https://www.youtube.com/user/dmtinfernocide"]InfernoPlus[/URL] on youtube was streaming a Big Boss build for a metal gear styled video last night. Might wanna check his channel later, find out if it was him :v

Also a question: can I pvp people who are on ng+ if I'm on my first run and can people on ng+ invade me if our soul levels are similar? I want to try and pvp more since that's something I've never really tried much of.

Guys, the confirmations for the stress test are out. I just got mine at least. :joy:

Thanks for the reminder, I got in too.

I'm gonna start pulling my hair out trying to get my PS4 controller working with Dark Souls. I've tried to outdated X360ce method as well as Imput Mapper. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hrm, I haven't received a confirmation yet. I swear, if I didn't get accepted, I'm going to be so upset. :excited:

oh boy oh MAN I also got in !!!

I didn't sign up. Can I still do that?

Are you guys getting a confirmation through email or somewhere else?

I got in yessssssss Check your trash section Nidhogg

Got nothing. Who's the sender? Sony? Or From? [editline]FUCK[/editline] Shit, I think I fucked up. I don't think I completed the registration process. I don't recall having to resubmit my registration code. Apparently the initial registration I did was only temporary? I already have the Network Stress Test downloaded and installed back when it was leaked early, though. Does it even matter at this point? [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7835823/DS3_networktest_app.jpg[/img] I'm going to assume that if I already have this, then I should be fine. I was told the invites people were receiving just gave you the code to download the stress test since it's currently private on PSN.

Yeah, all I got in the mail was essentially a code for the download, so you should be fine. Did you download it when it was briefly available for everyone with PS Plus in the US?

I assume someone goofed up and released it early by accident, hence why it got removed after a while. Guess I lucked out big time. I need to be more careful and actually read my emails more thoroughly next time.

man, soul memory makes every death that loses any amount of souls feel like a massive punishment [editline]12th October 2015[/editline] it goes from "oh, 100,000 souls, no biggie really" to "5,000 souls, this is complete FUCKING BULLSHIT!" all it means is that I'm that much further away from being grouped with people my soul level and its painfully annoying

Basically my x/y buttons are swapped with a/b, start/select is rt/lt and rt/lt control the camera. What the fuck man. This is really playing with my emotions now that the 360 controller doesn't even work. I tried reinstalling and everything and the controller works fine with any other game. Someone halp me please. :tableflip:

Now, the entire idea behind Soul Memory has been tainted by a failed version of it, and we're back to the old system of being invaded by SL1s with endgame gear and maxed Pyro flames for DS3. If I had a nickel for how many times I've been invaded by someone who can one-hit-kill me in Undead Burg and Parish...

[editline]13th October 2015[/editline] tbh though I'd rather have sl1's with endgame gear any day than feeling punished

I lost 1 million souls near the majula pit before, wasnt paying attention and rolled the wrong direction. It was my PvE exclusive character though, so the loss wasnt that bad. It's already at 70m soul memory, also known as the mystical land of fast rolling havels. Truly a sight to behold.

Got into the network test, instantly hypelorded I managed to play Bloodborne before it came out too, not sure how it affected my appreciation of the game, but it's always fun to see how a game develops even in the short time between testing and release

Damn I didn't sign up

PS4 only? This is racist What about us master races?

Goddammit I came to this thread specifically to ask if anyone knew when the DS3-lottery is so I can get an exact date on the disappointment I'll get from not getting in. Well, got my answer. :frown: Yup. [img]http://i.imgur.com/qaqnubd.png[/img] Well piss.

If I may do some shameless self-advertisment ... [video=youtube;WY0O5WdA24o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY0O5WdA24o[/video]

anyone have the test on PC? is it 60 fps?

[QUOTE=J!NX;48894401]anyone have the test on PC? is it 60 fps?[/QUOTE] PC doesn't get a test, don't be silly.

Do I have hope or is something going wrong here 'cuz this sounds conflicting with what's happening in this thread: [img]http://i.imgur.com/3ZVcfY9.png[/img]

I never thought people would be excited to be a part of a network stress test. With an expansion and a full game coming up, I thought that would be the focus
