Nice, thanks Snake

 

[Frosty Droid]

It's back, he escaped Yosp!

 

[jmaine_ph]

Wait I just missed a stream? NOOOOO!

Edit: twitch or ustream?

 

[Reule]

Welp! Highlight was him getting wrecked, running, then closing the gate.

Edit: It's back.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

It's back!

And he's getting revenge on the ambushers!

 

[Ellite25]

I can't wait to remote play this.

 

[F0rneus]

Evading detection I see. Clever girl...

It's back!

And he's getting revenge on the ambushers!

Or not hahaha

 

[Jimmyfenix]

YO Died

 

[Nivert]

He has to restart the stream before he hits 50 minutes for some reason, just refresh and you can continue watching.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

what did the big guy mumble

 

[banofypie]

This guy isn't great. These loading times aren't either.

 

[Yoshichan]

holy shit, that was a 47 second loading time (when he died and spawned)...

The load time from the cathedral to Firelink Shrine seems to be around 11 seconds.

 

[neoism]

Yikes, that was a 52 second load screen.

Jesus Christ... Smh.....

 

[RazorUK]

45 second loading time then after dying. Apart from the loading this game looks amazing.

 

[LTWheels]

Hmmm, that was a long load...

 

[indigo-cyclops]

What's the deal with the 50 minutes tops and the restarting? I'm not familiar with that.

 

[On Demand]

Isn't there a day one patch? It's probably going to improve loading.

 

[Ellite25]

The load times suck, but I don't see it being an issue for me. You can play good chunks of time without dying/warping.

 

[InternHertz]

He's skipping dialogue, he's dead to me.

Yeah, I was quite irritated by that behavior...why would anyone (on a first playthrough at least) do that !?

 

[Yoshichan]

The load times suck, but I don't see it being an issue for me. You can play good chunks of time without dying/warping.

It's a big issue for PvPers and people who want to replay bosses over and over again (purposely dying on them) :/

BELIEVE IN THE DAY 1 PATCH

 

[StarlordDial]

Pm pls ;_;

 

[convo]

Guy needs to learn to transform your weapon mid-attack.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

So I guess we know through a parchment and Alistair in this latest stream the name of the tower the spider is on.

Spoiler

Byrgenworth (sp?)

 

[On Demand]

It's suppose to be 4 hours isnt it?

 

[ironcreed]

Dat Firelink Shrine sounding music. Ahhhhh.

 

[Astral]

I don't wanna spoil too much of the game but is it confirmed that Skill is the new Dexterity and that gun damage scales with Bloodtinge? If so I might start off with that Scion.

 

[Slowdive]

The only thing that looks bad is the load times, hopefully they'll be improved with the day one patch.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Soundtrack sounds really fantastic.

 

[vilmer_]

The stream is not showing up on the PS4, otherwise I could capture it.

 

[Phionoxx]

swipe pad integration and motion elements for gestures!

 

[Derpyduck]

Yeah, I was quite irritated by that behavior...why would anyone (on a first playthrough at least) do that !?

Some streamers do that to avoid people in the stream yelling SPOILERS, which is ironic since they're watching the game in the first place.

 

[Ellite25]

It's a big issue for PvPers and people who want to replay bosses over and over again (purposely dying on them) :/

BELIEVE IN THE DAY 1 PATCH

Probably should just wait for the PC version then.

 

[Yoshichan]

Probably should just wait for the PC version then.

Not gonna happen and you know that .

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Seems like it.

[hey_it's_that_dog]

holy shit, that was a 47 second loading time (when he died and spawned)...

The load time from the cathedral to Firelink Shrine seems to be around 11 seconds.

I was hoping my stream was messed up but I guess that might have been a real load time. Maybe day 1 patch will improve that.

 

[Ellite25]

Not gonna happen and you know that .

 

[Gbraga]

Yeah, I was quite irritated by that behavior...why would anyone (on a first playthrough at least) do that !?

It's great that they can, and if he wants to play it this way, more power to him.

Fuck games that keep taking the controller away from you every time a character opens their mouth. It's so annoying on repeated playthroughs.

It's a big issue for PvPers and people who want to replay bosses over and over again (purposely dying on them) :/

BELIEVE IN THE DAY 1 PATCH

Oh god, I didn't even think about PVP.

From pls.

 

[Conezays]

Damn, fingers crossed the Day One patch helps this out a bit.

I'm used to DS2 on PC Oh well.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

Ok

I'm getting so frustrated. I must me doing something wrong other than sucking.

I have played around 5 hours now and have made zero progress. I have not even fought a boss.

This is my first souls game so I'm sure there is a learning curve...but not this steap !

any tips?

The first virgin sacrifice.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

His gun does shit for damage. He uses it to agro single enemies out of groups.

It's not a DPS tool. It's used for staggering enemies. He has 20 bullets. He should be using it a lot more. Especially on stuff like the dogs that are super agile.

ok so essentially I should be doing this

- small adventures followed by either backtracking to cash in points, or continuing to a point where I can unlock a way back? then go spend the points and do to all again until I'm a higher level/better gear?

I should not be playing it like a point a-b adventure game?

btw this game is remarkable. I'm punishing myself but its so so so good.

Basically, yeah. In Dark Souls for example, resting at a bonfire reset all the enemies but let you level up. Only difference here is that you have to go back to the Refuge to actually level up. Really what you want to do is level up or spend your souls every time you find a new lamp, or find a shortcut back to an older lamp. Means that if you die and can't get your echoes back you won't have lost a huge chunk of potential progression.

 

[Yoshichan]

Health potions (the variation we're used to see, at least) only cost 40 a pop. Good price.

Some perspective: the earliest small enemies you kill grants you around 50 souls.

 

[F0rneus]

Load times are bad for sure. But at the same time they don't bother me too much. Small price to pay for a game that looks this gorgeous.

 

[Bunta]

40 second load time to warp, pre-order cancelled!!!!

 

[SkylineRKR]

Loading times and loading screens are shit. Hopefully some of it will be adressed day one but I doubt it.

 

[Pocky4Th3Win]

Looks like the game has some form of AF at least.

 

[King Tubby]

- small adventures followed by either backtracking to cash in points, or continuing to a point where I can unlock a way back? then go spend the points and do to all again until I'm a higher level/better gear?

This is a solid strategy for when you're still very new to the game/souls gameplay in general. It's the way to avoid frustration and ease yourself into the mechanics.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

He's definitely just walking right into enemies and swinging. Seems like he should be using guns to stun a lot more and way more dodging for openings. That's how I understood the new combat to be. With no shield you have to be very proactive.

And no weapon transforming...

 

[StarlordDial]

Quote to reveal stream.

[Majmun]

I hope the day 1 patch improves the loading
