Unlucky!

It basically works the same way as humanity

I'll have to look again, but it didn't seem like my magic find was raising and I have 12 insight. Also, you have to use up an insight every time you want to summon someone. Whenever you ring the bell, regardless of whether or not someone actually joins you, an insight is used up.

Is there a reason why the player's character will suddenly start doing significantly less damage in the game? I was 2-3 shotting the regular mobs and after I was saturated in blood it took like 7-8 hits to down them. Is there any correlation here or maybe when the clock strikes your damage output is lessened...? Idk

EDIT: I'm reading the Inventory screen and it says Physical Attack 90.......-19. Before it was positive...this is strange

Cleric Beast down on first try!!!

 

[deoee]

How's...how's the game, guys? Pretty alright?

Not worth the wait

Spoiler

just kidding, it's awesome

 

[pixlexic]

Whats a good way to get back blood vials? Used them all in first cleric beast fight (almost won too damnt) but now im like scrapin the bottom of the barrel.

Got to farm as far as I know. But also remember you get blood back far landing attacks so building them up is pretty easy on the mobs.

Has anybody else's strategy guide shipped from Amazon yet?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3869930691/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Nevermind, just saw this:

IMPORTANT UPDATE
=> The page count is increased from 400 to 528 pages.
=> The Collector's Edition guide is delayed to include important game changes applied through the Day-One-Update, ensuring that it will be up-to-date and that online-only elements are covered.

Good news thankfully

 

[TeddyShardik]

What's everyone doing with their first character?

I'll probably go with a quality-like build so I can try as many weapons as possible.

 

[DarKshodaN]

Got my Steelbook Edition from Amazon! Looks Great

Let's do this!

So fucking pumped right now

 

[Icyflamez96]

Are you guys finding this to be as challenging as Dark Souls 1?

Are the areas as varied as Dark Souls 1?

Repair your weapon in the dream bruvs

 

[Deleted member 30609]

It's hilarious that we've got a bit of a Infinity Ward / Treyarch situation here. Like, the old repair system and jump button mapping make me smile.

Thanks, I guess you don't get that your weapon is in danger message anymore...?

Cleric Beast down on first try!!!

Damn. I have been there since importing Demon's Souls and have beat them all and this game is making me feel like a scrub so far, lol. But I will get my feet underneath me as I go. It's actually kind of nice to have fresh mechanics to get used to.

 

[darkjedi187]

I'm getting jumpy. I called bb to confirm my ce. They verbally said it was there with my name on it. I want to run over and get it but I'm stuck at work. 😢😢

The cane looks awesome. Is it really that hard??

Harder

Too early in the game for me to tell.

You do, think you missed it

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I got a message saying it was a risk when it happened to me! Maybe you were so focused on an enemy you just missed it

Interesting, where can you see weapon durability at? Do you have to inspect the item? I didn't notice a red bar under the weapon icon but maybe I'm blind.

 

[D Bo Chops]

Shotgun or Pistol??

Is there any consensus on which is "better"? Is one easier to crit with than the other?

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Played for only 30 minutes before I had to go to bed.

Spoiler

Damn you, having to go to work!

It was enough to see that I'm in for a hell of a ride.
The level design is brilliant and everything is just dripping with atmosphere. Loving it.

 

[Revolutionary]

Wow, there are 60k viewers for this game on Twitch. It's beating Hearthstone and creeping up on Dota

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Amazon sent my preorder late again! So glad they raised the price for Prime because ever since they did I never get anything on time :-/

Mine says the same thing, heres the response I got from chat:

Now, I've done some checks and I'm seeing that the delivery date is now 1 day later than guaranteed delivery date which was set for today. I must apologize for the inconvenience this has caused and I know you were really looking forward to your package being delivered today. It seems the carrier has experienced a slight delay, hence the delivery date has been changed, And to make up for this, I would love to extend your prime for a month. Would you accept that?

 

[superfriar19]

well fuck me sideways, amazon just sent me an email saying that they fucked up and will be able to send it to me till next month (23).

cancelled it and only digital it is

Same thing just happened to me. Very disappointed.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Played for like hour & half last night and 45 minutes this morning. So good. Still in 1st area, just past the initial sewers. Haven't reached the 1st boss yet, but hopefully I'm close.

I regret getting the shotgun, it's good for mobs but terrible for bosses.

I went digital and am happy, but that sure is nice!

[Aces&Eights]

Shotgun or Pistol??

Blunderbuss is better for mobs and close up. It can stagger multipule enemies. Pistol has more range but less effective up close. There are parts where it (pistol) comes in handy very early on but hard to say what is best in the long run

 

[vg260]

I had difficulty with the cane, but I switched to the saw cleaver and am having a much better time. I think the weapons are all good, but the cleaver was easier for me to use.

Thanks.

 

[Spineker]

Shotgun or Pistol??

Definitely pistol, its use as a counter weapon is invaluable.

 

[StMeph]

I'm pretty sure we'll be on OT2 by the time I get home tonight and get my hands on the game.

I actually think it is quite gorgeous. The IQ looks good enough to me.

 

[ufo8mycat]

Downloading this off PSN right now. 12 hours remaining.

What has me paranoid is corrupted downloads and having to download the whole 25gb again.

Is this possible on ps4? I recall it happened a few times on PS3 for me, but I think it was because of a bad hard drive.

 

[Hagi]

I'm a bit lost after beating the first boss lol

Spoiler

how the hell do you get to the church? I just assumed that it was beyond the cleric beast but nope lol

seems like I'm moving in circles.

Game is fun as shit and the atmosphere is sublime. Already liking it more than Dark Souls 2.

 

[jediyoshi]

Jesus everytime in a souls game. I die a dozen times in a row at a boss. Take a break, come back and beat it first try.

Holy shit, my Amazon order of the CE got delayed to April 27th. FUCK that

 

[PBY]

How do I do co-op? (ie go to OTHER peoples games?)

Kind of wanna farm and level up for a bit before I fight the 2nd boss

 

[F0rneus]

What the hell. After killing the big pig in the sewers and finding out it was just another way to the 2nd boss, I ran back and found that a new item had appeared on the floor where the pig died called

Red Messenger Ribbon

What the hell is that and why was it there?

Anybody? I'm kind of freaked out right now. It's like I'm the only person playing the game who got that drop. It's location is not even on the wiki yet.

got kill from blue hand of death.
Read about but could not help my self.

Where is this located?

At the place you get the Top Hat? I heard a weird sound but didn't see anything

[CelticKnight]

Does anyone know of any sites that explain some of the story/lore (preferrably non spoiler)? I've avoided so much of the build up to this game that I actually don't know much about it.

I'm digging the art direction and overall style of this game from what I've seen. I'm thinking of getting this when it hits on friday here in the UK... only played a little of DS1 but liked it what I saw, even if it was mostly the "You Died" screen.

 

[pixlexic]

Are you guys finding this to be as challenging as Dark Souls 1?

Are the areas as varied as Dark Souls 1?

No its the easiest game so far. But I'm only to the second area so that's just comparing the areas to the first bosses.

 

[Melchiah]

So, is it known how you can choose the Raven Hunter and Saw Cleaver, when you start the game, or is the former even possible?

 

[TimeEffect]

1) Do you guys think the Collector's Edition will get a huge price markup from scalpers?

2) Anyone else skip Dark Souls II like me, and are hyped to be playing since DaS1? Both Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are very fond in my memory, and I am so excited to create that moment again. I feel like DaSII would have maybe fatigued me a bit, so I'm well overdue for the experience!

That said, I'll have to wrap around back to DaSII PS4 edition, which I'm glad to have waited for.

What does the description say? Red bow (to me) sounds like something a woman might want. Talked to the doll about it? I'm still very early in so don't know....try talking to any NPCs you have met?
