No. You have to hit an enemy with a fully charged R2 from behind to stagger them. Then you can visceral attack (r1)

I am sadly getting more frustrated with this game than I have with any of the previous souls games... I don't know why exactly, but I'm not sure the more action oriented nature they were going for fits this style of game. It made more sense to be defensive in the Souls games, and the mechanics are basically the same, except they want you to be more aggressive, but the enemies are still just as aggressive, so one fuck up, and it's death.
It's frustrating when I've gone through this opening area a dozen times, and I still have no idea where the next lamp is.

Kind of. You need to stun them with a charge attack first with R2.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Ok so stand behind enemy, hold R2 until it "clicks", then release.
Position yourself behind or infront of the staggered enemy and press R1?
Is that it?

You both are wrong. You charge with R2 behind someone and if you hit them with it then it opens them up for a backstab with R1 that does a massive amount of damage like with a gun parry.

About a game mode:
is beastmode in? How is it?
any idea how to use passwords for co-op? FromSoft please.
charge attack from behind + normal attack after it. it's harder to pull off.
just killed the second boss, got only 1800 souls. the hell?
uh, there is backstab.

You can buy one if you've beaten the first boss.

You dont have to release it attacks automatically, idk if u cant hit from front doubt it. You have to gun parry for front riposte.
The 1handed ones doesn't. Saw Cleaver/Spear and the Threaded Cane don't, you just shoot.
From what I've gathered so far, only the 2handed ones do. If you're using the transformed Kirkhammer, R1 is normal attack, R2 is strong with charge etc and L2 is a horizontal bash that hits enemies in a cone in front of you, the same thing happens when using Hunter Axe.

I'm watching a live stream of this atm and the loading time after you get killed is insane (on this guys play anyway) does it always take ages?

i have a question about the boy in the house:
did i miss something?
i gave him that accessoir from his dead mother (after the second boss). Then he was crying. now i visited him again and he was gone.

I love Pokken!
Just killed the 4th boss.
. Once you know the trick to it. It becomes really easy.

You realize there are defensive optionstwo types of dodges and a parrythat you can use? Being action oriented doesn't mean you have to just mash buttons and hope you survive. I mean I didn't die once until I got to the second boss, just dodging enemy attacks or patrying them. Hell I beat the whole starting area up to the dream with my fists just by dodging and backstabbing...

Are you pretending to be playing with a controller in your hands right now?
Don't worry, I do that too.

This is how I feel, I need that next lamp right now. I lost everything, I'm a broken man now.

Yup, and backstab is "stronger" because charged melee attacks are pretty devastating. The actual riposte does same damage (i think). And most if not all charged attacks lunge you forward a bit so you dont have to sneak up and butt hug enemies to initiate anymore

Need help, Spoilers for before the first boss
I took the sewer underneath and back up a long ladder to unlock the shortcut. How do I fight the first boss from here? Do you have to fight the werewolves on the bridge?

I've done this by accident actually....so I know there must be a way, never been able to do it again though....
Also about parrying... it seems you have to time it exactly right, there have been times where I shoot the enemy as they go to attack me and it doesn't work. I think you have to do it right on the enemies down swing at you....
You can choose either from the network menu.
First time the guy in the wheel chair was like "use my stuff for whatever you like, *whispered* even the doll..." I was like what are you talking about you sick fuck
Excellent. Everyone prepare to get invaded by Jason Bourne

Yes to your question.
And I have to admit, I'm loving the game even though it is hard, atleast for me as I have never played a Dark Souls game.Solaire of Astora

Defaults to psn, but you can change to your character's name in the network options menu.

If you have a checkpoint,
there should be an area with two ogres and then an elevator, you can swing around back right past the wolves, fight another ogre and some crows, this will get you to the cleric beast. Father gascoigne if you go to the other bridge with the burning boulder.

most likely you dont need the next lamp. You need to open some shortcuts to previous lamp though.

I never played a souls game before, so I am new to this kind of game.
I knew it will be hard, but after two hours I haven't reached the third checkpoint. I die to often. But it's fun!

Coming in this thread first thing in the morning just sucks. I wont be getting the game till about 11. Anyone get the CE? How is it?
I feel like I'm crazy because as far as I can tell, I'm one of the only people having this issue. But my game feels like it's running constantly at 20-25FPS. It only ever feels like a proper 30 in Hunter's Dream, and even then the framerate will dip. It's definitely not my display, so I'm wondering if maybe something got messed up during install? I'm reinstalling right now just in case, but not holding my breath.

I did the same thing, whenever I have 2000 or so blood echoes I head back to hunters dream and spend it on blood vials, molotov cocktails, weapon upgrades, or leveling. I wish there was a way to store it safely in hunters dream but there doesn't seem to be. Risky stuff man
It's overly cautious but nothing inherently wrong with it. I certainly wouldn't ever play like that, I like to just go until I die, then get my echoes back and upgrade.
Yeah that's basically the loop of the game. Make some progress, go back to Hunter's Dream when you want to spend your cash.
