Dark Souls is on Steam

That was awesomely hilarious.
I have to show this to my co-worker, who just started dark souls last week.
I tried to prepare him, but nothing could have prepared him from equipping shield in his right hand and the sword hilt in his left. He was so mad when I told him that the sword goes in the right hand..... He didn't get past the Northern Assylm because of this. I've never heard of this happening to anyone before....
 
still no Dark Souls 2 PC release date confirmation??...c'mon already Namco/From!...less then a month away from release for consoles!...if it's coming out in March I'll be happy...if it's May or later I'll most likely get Titanfall to kill time
 
I never even tried to swap hands with your shield and weapon. Does it even work if you're playing as a lefty or does it just give you a score penalty?
 
I'm going to get DS2 on PS3 if they PC release date isn't within 2 weeks....I'm also going to get it on PC when it releases....Load times on PS3 are far too long.

I thought I read somewhere that it was initially to come out on PC along with the other platforms, but was delayed to a month after console release.

I'll try to find the article or video that mentioned that.
 
I wonder how it'll be on release for PC. You guys think they'll do a better job with this one and that it'll play okay without a DSfix?
 
Hey, can you guys help me out with DSFix. I went through and edited my settings and then I installed the HD Texture pack off Nexus Mods. Whenever I try to open Dark Souls through steam or straight from the .exe it shows a white window for like half a second then it crashes.

I've fiddle with all the settings in DSFix and update the correct path to the new textures. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Try turning off dsfix settings. Like, if you've disabled the intro logos through dsfix, turn them back on. If you've unlocked your FPS, turn that back off. etc.

Also, make sure Anti-Aliasing in the game menu is turned off before enabling DSfix
 
Ahh. I had a pathway typed in wrong, ha. Now I just have to figure out why my 360 controller won't work with the game.

Apparently, it pretends the shield is a sword, so you swing and attack with it, and obviously it doesn't do much damage. Now the sword in the left hand is hilarious, cause it does treat it like its a shield and instead of attacking you "flash" your sword. Like, "hey skeleton dude, look at my sword! Oh you killed me... I guess he didnt like my sword"......

I about died as he explained the story. lol

Is it a wired one? The ones with the 'charger cable' don't work.

Obviously a character that hasn't beaten the Taurus Demon doesn't have a Co-Op crystal yet to be summoned to other people's worlds, but can they summon help from others at this point in the game?

read the readme/directions and get DSfix working by itself, before you try running additional mods.

make sure to have your 360 controller plugged in BEFORE you launch Dark Souls. The game can have trouble initializing a controller, if it has already launched.
 
This game looks great with all the mods! I dunno if I'll ever beat it or not as I'm getting pretty frustrated really early on. The graveyard the raven drops you off at has a bunch of skeletons that take a stupid amount of damage to kill.

The damage type of the weapon you're using is probably not very effective against them...

Also, there are other ways you can go!

Where do you get cracked red eye orbs or w/e to invade more people?
Click to expand...
You can buy them from Kaathe, the other serpent, who only appears if you do not talk to Frampt after obtaining the Lord Vessel and defeating the Four Kings in New Londo, after joining the Darkwraith covenant. By giving 10 banked Humanity to Kaathe once you're a covenant member, he'll give you a whole Red Eye Orb that you can continually use.

Wow thanks. Didn't realize it was considered such a privilege to invade people.

Well I think the original intent of mass invasions was in NG+ and higher. If you look at the Gravelord Servant covenant, cursing another user's world doesn't work until NG+, either. On the console version, low-level invasions were a rare thing until the Bottomless Box glitch was found. Now that the glitch was patched out, people just cheat by hacking their saves (on console) or manipulating memory addresses (PC).
 
gotcha. I've only been invaded a few times, and only beaten one of the invaders. What risks/rewards are there to being an invader?
 
No risk, humanity as a reward. That's changing in DS2 from what I understand.
 
looks like we will finally get the PC release date for Dark Souls 2 this week!...please surprise us and release it on the same day as consoles (March 11)

I find it highly unlikely that it will end up being released on the same day as the consoles but that would be awesome if it did. Personally Im thinking it will be a late March release. I would rather they spend the extra time polishing the game instead of rushing it out anyway.

LOL, that happened to me the first time I played through the game, trying to kill S+O. After that I always take the time to kill the Sentinels first. Of course back then I was also such a noob that I didn't upgrade any of my equipment, making that fight 100x harder than it had to be...

"In the latest behind-the-scenes developer diary with From Software, Dark Souls 2 director Yui Tanamura offers a quick primer on the story, and actor Peter Serafinowicz discusses why he finds the series so compelling. Art director Daisuke Satake also discusses how he attempted to tell stories visually."

that seems staged/fake to me...the way he enters the room with the camera focused on the fog door instead of the front of the room (where O&S are) makes it too obvious...plus Ornstein seems to get to the player a bit too quickly...

I saw a torch in the gameplay... they will have torches in DS2??

It is highly integral to the experience.
You will use it a lot, on purpose. I believe the game is going to feel very different from DS. The new covenants, the stat changes, dual welding w/ combos, torches, losing life bar, etc, etc.
From has got to give me that PC release date!

I can't believe I'm jealous of consoles players... This is absurd.
 
Anyone getting the Collector's Edition on here? I have never paid extra for a Collector's Edition but I am considering making this my first.

Oh, and I finally got all 41 achievements for 1000/1000 gamerscore last night. Felt a bit anti-climatic doing so. Now that I've beaten the game three times with my first character and twice with my second, I think I can finally retire at this game.

I can definitely say that having magic on my second character versus pure melee on my first character felt completely overpowered in PVP as well as PVE. I've actually never purposely invaded someone before, but I wanted to be prepared for invaders on my second character and having homing missles made 80% of battles a cakewalk.
