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

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;49793963]orange highlighted areas on the warp menu show areas of high online activity with players in your soul memory bracket[/QUOTE] Is that for SotFS on the PS3 too? I never paid attention when I warp from the bonfire.

[QUOTE=Stizzles;49794340]The Dark Souls PC port is so fucking [I]weird.[/I] On my old school laptop from 2010 it ran great with DSfix enabled. I could even use the more demanding graphics options like AA and AO and still have a pretty solid framerate even in Blighttown. On my newer laptop with all around better specs than my old one, it runs like absolute shit the whole time no matter what I do. I've tried everything I can think of, but it never improves at all. Does anyone have any advice?[/QUOTE] try rolling into the lag

[QUOTE=General;49793870]DS2 Scholar Also there's about 7k people playing right now What are most people doing atm? Killed two bonfire bosses and have only seen two summon signs so far[/QUOTE] I've seen a decent number of summon signs after the Forest of Giants, maybe it's just your region? I have had a couple of cases where I've been summoned by the same person multiple times though which never happened when I was playing the original DS2.

[QUOTE=General;49791619]Know of any fun weapons to use? Currently using an estoc Haven't used small weapons until now[/QUOTE] My DS2 Scholar run was an estoc and caestus build and it was fun as hell. Replaced the caestus with the bone fist later on it made me feel like a flexible warrior badass Does anyone else make themed builds and pretend/roleplay you're an NPC? This mostly applies in DS2 PC because you can choose to see character names instead of player names. My aforementioned estoc+bone fist guy was called Duelist Ulric and I would put my summon sign down on all the humanoid bosses. I found it funny when hosts don't treat me like I'm a person :v: [editline]edit[/editline] Found an old screenshot of him. I was waiting to be summoned for old man Ornstein [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/547555623379264554/8E9170E3959889C32D7F17D26CE0717C1A927842/[/t]

I was Glencour for quite a while, lots of co-op when Ivory came out, ran around as Siegmeyer too.

I had Haphazard Hero for a while. I unknowingly helped out a person in this thread using him before to demolish the Looking Glass Knight, I managed to run into a few invasions as a blue and pull off a rescue too. I also have "Harold the Hugger" which was an Iron Keep invader that had high health, endurance, immolation, and the rings to extend spell duration.

Does anyone have any advice?[/QUOTE] Dark Souls is just one of those games where it runs perfectly fine for some people but refuses to cooperate for others. There's usually always a way to fix it though. Try uninstalling both the game and DSFix and then reinstall DS1 by itself and run it vanilla, just to see how well it runs. Afterwards, try reinstalling DSFix.

Let's hope DS3 PC uses our steam names and doesn't have censored words. [editline]23rd February 2016[/editline] oh wait, I forgot the stress test had an option to switch between character names and account names just like bloodborne, so nevermind :v:

The one time I'll preorder is a souls game and you bet your fucking titties I preordered that

[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;49796952]but is it a clientside change or not? does switching it change your name for everyone who sees you, or is it just what you see on your screen?[/QUOTE] it's a client-side change. Changing how names show up applies to ALL online players, but only from your view.

I hope that dark souls 3 lets you change your (character) name at LEAST a fewish times, as well as your looks it was great playing a slender male then using the gender coffin and looking decent either way in 2 having to either cheat or whatever to change that is lame

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;49796995]if they didn't do it in bloodborne then I'm pretty sure they won't do it in DS3[/QUOTE] they didn't do tons of shit in ds2 or 1 that they did in bloodborne, so why not could maybe always happen hopefully maybe

I wonder if they'll let you choose a voice again.

Could you change body type in Bloodborne?

[QUOTE=KaptonJack;49797093]Could you change body type in Bloodborne?[/QUOTE] You could, but not to the same degree. The player character is very slim by default and even at its chunkiest, you're still pretty slim.

[QUOTE=Samiam22;49797101]You could, but not to the same degree. The player character is very slim by default and even at its chunkiest, you're still pretty slim.[/QUOTE] That's a shame. I hope we can still be fat ogre men in Dark Souls III.

[QUOTE=KaptonJack;49797104]That's a shame. I hope we can still be fat ogre men in Dark Souls III.[/QUOTE] Probably. The chubby adventurer thing makes sense in Dark Souls because you can still be fat and be in armour and use a shield. The whole point of Bloodborne was that literally everyone was very quick on their feet and so everyone needed a physique that could accommodate that, leading to everyone being basically very lean.

i wish you could roll indefinitely downhill

The Hunter's Axe is slowly becoming my favorite weapon in Bloodborne, which is a shame, since my default character is skill-based If you have an average knowledge of the enemy attack patterns and a good timing yourself, you can spam the charged vortex move with the second mode and maul down foes while knocking them on their asses as you farm blood ecoes completely unscarred [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dvAlo49.jpg[/IMG] [I]Slurp[/I]

There's only one good strength weapon in BB and that is the whirligig saw [vid]https://my.mixtape.moe/lcvdsa.webm[/vid]

Wanted to finish DSII's expansions but found out I lost my saves. Now contemplating upgrading to SotFS and finishing it before DSIII comes out. Would that be worth it?

[QUOTE=Chilean_Wolf;49797663]Wanted to finish DSII's expansions but found out I lost my saves. Now contemplating upgrading to SotFS and finishing it before DSIII comes out. Would that be worth it?[/QUOTE] If you have all 3 expansions? No, not really.

How's using Cheat Engine in SotFS? I mainly want to use it to give myself max eye orbs and bypass name censors.
