One of many reasons why Bloodborne's PvP is garbage. :v:

What is this Cairnhurts meta? What do i need?

[QUOTE=Dr.C;49003362]I might as well try to play DS1 again, maybe it'll be fun once I beat the taurus demon.

So how the hell do I beat it? I remember there was some sort of rhythm to fighting it since its swing was an instant death so I had to wait for it to swing, get a hit or two in, then back off before it could swing again but it took a really long time to do so and it was really easy to mess up the rhythm and I was always falling off the arena.[/QUOTE]

If you're not spending the entire fight with your face pressed into his giant hairy monster-crotch, you're doing it wrong.

Well, went ahead and bought SOTFS since I sold off all the trading cards steam keeps pelting me with.

Now it does this, or some variation of this. Changes as I move the camera around, most of the time it's like there's a giant texture over the camera.

Now when I try to load the game, it stretches the image across one monitor like it's meant to fit on both of them. I can't find any setting to change, be it in-game or in the Nvidia control panel. Anyone have any clue what the issue is?

Guys, I just found out that the doll will react to your gestures.
It bows, claps and tilt her head to my performances.

The world will hear about this

I remember seeing a gif about this just before Bloodborne was officially released.
You truly have earned the clocks.

Man, when you think about it trees are fucking immortal. I guess thats why everyones turning into them now. You better not end up a tree in 3.

Oh, I understand now. Still, that's pretty much the most annoying realistic thing they added into the game. You always see heavily armored dudes in games and trailers just dropping down from places and being all badass by slowly getting up and doing some neat pose.

Wouldn't having the strength and endurance to properly deploy and use heavy armor give you some leeway with fall damage?

The pain from a fall is just as much about the sudden deceleration as it is the force of impact. Throw heavy armor into the mix and the added weight and loss of flexibility means you can't really control your impact(think of the way parkour artists use a roll and forward momentum to deal with heights).

Dark Souls. So I decided to start a new character as a Cleric, focusing on faith. What is a good stat build to follow? I know most miracles are focused on defense rather than projectiles attacks.

miracles are for scrubs

sorceries and pyromaniacsies are where its at

This is where actual physics gets replaced with game mechanics/magic/wanting to look cool

[Linkuya]

Looking Glass Knight dead on the first try, same for those dragon riding boys, love the game but that original Dark Souls (and to a lesser extent Demon's Souls) challenge ain't there for me.

How far do you guys think I am in the game? I have no idea.

quite a ways to go actually, you aren't as close to the end as you believe you are, but you're very far

Cool beans, saw I was at the castle and got excited. I'm at waterworld right now, so I guess I'll bring my floaty.

I honestly thought the lightning spear Solaire uses was a sorcery. I was kinda upset it wasn't, but I got some kickass pyromancies as a trade off

[Curls]

only Solaire is a badass for using miracles

everyone else is a waste of flesh compared to him, trying to be Solaire but never amounting to him in the slightest

[Sweater]

You're a badass if you use miracles offensively and combine with your melees.

Sadly majority of people think miracles is either "spam lightining spears" or "wash your body with holy filthy buffs"

I summoned him for the gargs, thinking he was some kinda super tank. I was busy stabbing one in the butt while Solaire did, indeed, facetank the fuckers, but not before seeing the glory that is him impaling the fuckers with a [b]spear of lightning[/b]. We beat the gargs and it sorta inspired me to make a melee/magic class. Needless to say, it sorta worked. Kinda fell out of favor when the BK Sword was wrecking shit more than my spells.

My strength is at about 355,904 and I'm in fully upgraded armor and a +10 ultra great-sword. I one shot everything, and everything else tickles. It's pretty easy to just ignore every little fancy and tricky enemy placement in the game when you just run and swing your way through anything. Tis' one of the reasons I thought to myself if strength was the favored stat in the game.

Did we discuss about this yet?

[i] A lump of steel with finger-holes, wielded by Galasha the Slow.

The towering huntress was unable to use firearms, and instead bludgeoned the beasts with this weapon, staggering them with her blows.

The weapon was named for her fearsome, and in a sense heroic, feats.[/i]

It really is the favoured stat. As long as you have equipment that provides decent magic defense, you'll be fine. Mind the dropoff points.
