Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VIII. At The End

[pointyface]

I just hated Blighttown at first because it felt so dirty and I couldn't find my way around.

I stopped being so mad when I realized I was walking by the swamp bonfire constantly and I noticed where the boss area is

[Itszutak]

It's a real slap in the face when you kill a toxic blowdarter only for him to drop plain purple moss

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;50076636]try being a pathetic waste of space like me and sleeping all day. it's worked for me the past 3 weeks[/QUOTE]

I've accidentally fucked up my sleeping pattern and done this too but I just end up awake all night bored as fuck 0/10 would not recommend.

[QUOTE=Skyward;50078025]Does DS3 have a way to respec?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, 5 times per playthrough

[Nidhogg]

There's a limit? Bleurgh.

[Skipcast]

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;50079148]There's a limit? Bleurgh.[/QUOTE]

You can probably cheat engine the limit assuming you play on PC. I wouldn't consider it an unfair advantage as it doesn't directly affect anyone. Anyone you invade/summon etc can't tell the difference if you respecced 2 or 10 times.

This game looks and plays so good on PC holy shit

Vaati's streaming from this event too

[Shier]

Holy shit, Dark Souls pretty much ate me alive, somehow the past few days I cranked up 54 hours of gameplay. This game is just so good and satisfying to progress through.

[lintz]

welp, i've officially gone off the deep end because i had a dark souls 3 dream and it was pretty damn cool

but also incredibly nerdy

Which Armored Core lets you get out of your mech? I swear I used to, back in like 2008, watched my friend play it and he was able to get out of his mech.

Just watched the IGN review, it really did not help, my hype for the game shot up even more [sp] fucking dual weapon sets look sick! [/sp]

None iirc? Probably thinking of something else?

[Makol]

Is he thinking of Front Mission Evolved? That game came out in 2010, I think.

Also, here are some GPU benchmarks if you're curious about PC performance on some older cards.

I'm so glad I can play it at 60fps probably, after playing the PC version I don't think I can go back to below that.

[Elowin]

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;50077415]2.25 mil SM should be a perfect range for NG++. I think the problem is more of the fact you're on vanilla and not SotFS, which most people switched over to. I'd help you but I uninstalled vanilla a long time ago.[/QUOTE]

I don't know about that, to be honest. I've been playing through Dark Souls 2 in the last few days and it was plenty populated.

That might be the game but I swear it was longer ago than 2010.

Oh man, I have a GTX 660 but mine is 4gb, does that mean I'm still gonna run 30 fps? Or would running low settings get me enough of an fps boost?

[Makol]

The 2gb 670 in my work machine was able to do the default medium setting at 1080p with a 50fps average if that helps to give you an idea. But that's with the newest drivers and those really messed up my performance in a lot of games, and some can't even launch anymore after updating.

This makes me hopeful that I can at least run this well at minimum settings at 720p and still look good and playable.

:ok:

And that's the launch event over. Played it in glorious 4K 60fps on the PC. Most of the people got up to [sp]Crystal Sage[/sp] or [sp]Curse-rotted great tree[/sp] (No clue which is after the other, only played bits and piece apart from the tutorial).

Also apparently Vaati shittalked me when I was fighting a boss [sp]Crystal sage[/sp], told my friend "He should really being doing x [sp]Hitting the clones instead of going for the real one[/sp]". Screw that guy I steamrolled it right after he left.

[editline]7th April 2016[/editline]

Now for the agonizing 6 day wait

[Stizzles]

So Remote Play on the PS4 is available for PC now, so I can play DS3 whenever I want, even if the TV is being used for something else!
I just tested Bloodborne now, it worked great, except my internet is only good enough for 360p apparently, but it was still playable.

I just imagine him saying that to your friend in his lore video voice

this is my current experience trying to fight the big blue assholes. I've followed your strat of give up, they still have beaten me. I feel like I have to beat them without parries for some reason

also thanks to the other posters who offered advice. Still trying

Now let me go wipe off my jealousy of that sweet dark souls event

Can't say i'm having the same luck.

Limited to 720p is really bad, and the sound lags behind sometimes and cuts off for a split second every 5 seconds or so. The compression artifacting is real, and every minute or so it lags so badly the image goes gray.

Oh, and there's like a 300ms delay on the input.

The other remote play pc program that was released a few months ago as alpha works better than this. A lot better.

[B]Not to mention it's limited to windows 8.1 and 10. (aside from OSX)[/B]
