woww, ign is running with that pc version rumor

Lol IGN.

It's not even a rumour its just Amazon France being Amazon France

They must need those clicks

 

[Deified Data]

I am going to be stuck in chargen forever.

Sudden inspiration that changed my entire plan for a build.

 

[Ellite25]

So raining the beckoning bell costs insight? So co-oping won't be unlimited? Also, no one as joined my game yet lol

 

[F0rneus]

Wait.

Spoiler

there's another ladder besides the one that leads up to the closed gate?

Dammit. Should've explored some more.

Just be sure to find the

Spoiler

dorr. Lol. Ain't fixing that. This will also unlock a shortcut to the fountain area where you hear the music, I think.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

UPS STILL HASN'T DELIVERED. ARGH

Damn UPS. They always deliver super late here too. You were nice enough to help me before too. Hope you get it soon.

 

[aradikus]

Due to some stupid SNAFU my Collector's Edition won't be arriving until tomorrow (before 8pm, they say...)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH why did this happen to me?!

 

[Randam]

They go to your storage in the Dream

How do I access the storage?

 

[EviLore]

I couldn't even land any throwables earlier due to the camera wonkiness. This is probably the longest I've ever spent on a boss fight in a game already, haha, and it's pure frustration, not feeling like I need to improve my mechanics. Yeah I have the

Spoiler

music box

so I'll try using that post-transformation and see if I can just use momentum from that effect to finish the fight.

And yeah, I'll try ignoring the lock-on system entirely, post-transform. Thanks for the advice.

 

[sprsk]

Anyone else think the Saw Blade is awesome? I've just been R2ing everyone with the extended version and it's easy-town outside of bosses. Shit scaling though so I'm guessing it's prolly this games Drake Sword (Without the damage)

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Quoting myself for the new page.

I'm a super newb in Souls, and the Axe was awesome, especially extended when you can wipe enemies with the hold R2 charge.

 

[brinstar]

is there a shortcut to the second boss or do I have to keep running this sewer path?

 

[Finalow]

Axe (jumping anyway) semed really good at the start, but after recently grabbing the Saw Cleaver, I'm not sure there's really any contest. The Cleaver also stuns like mad.

yup, mobius (guy playing the game days ago) was pretty much finishing the whole game just with Cleaver, worked great for most of the bosses/enemies.

Spoiler

I got the cane instead, rip. ;_;

anyway still looking for info about Eileen the Crow, need to know how you trigger her events.

Mine hasn't either.

Can't really speak on SKL weapons, but the Saw Cleaver seems like easy mode. Good range, good damage, pretty good speed, good moveset, good at staggering. Its main downside is that it doesn't really get as much from transform combos like some other weapons, and its jumping attack is "okay".

Does it scale with STR or DEX?

I'm a super newb in Souls, and the Axe was awesome, especially extended when you can wipe enemies with the hold R2 charge.

Same question but I suppose it probably scales with STR right?

 

[Zetta]

Yo these damn

Crows

freak me the hell out every damn time.

 

[Nyteshade517]

I still haven't even got to the first boss yet...just having fun trying to get used to the game

 

[LostMyNarbles]

When you can level up?

 

[Alucrid]

the cane should really only have whip mode and pimpin' mode

 

[The Artisan]

Lol it's just hilarious. It's never coming to PC.

they're poisoning the minds of others giving them any false hope that this game will show up there and they'll avoid the actual means of getting the game

Lol IGN.

It's not even a rumour its just Amazon France being Amazon France

They must need those clicks

yeah but shouldn't they know that? are they really just doing this for more clicks/views or whatever?

 

[RealityPales]

I keep accidentally hitting up on the directional pad. I notice I lose health - what's the deal with that? Does it give a buff to my gun or something.

Btw, this game is the real deal. holy hell. lol

 

[Flying Toaster]

Hey thanks!



Axe is fantastic.

I have you added as a friend when your ready to do COOP let me know PSN: CthulhuSars

 

[Dusktildawn48]

The doll in the dream after first boss

 

[fargofallout]

Good god, I've only died a handful of times, but I've played the game for four or five hours and I haven't even made it to the first boss yet. Lost several thousand souls (whatever this game calls them) a couple of times. This is rough. I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[bananafactory]

yeah but shouldn't they know that? are they really just doing this for more clicks/views or whatever?

Yes

 

[Raxus]

Man the threaded cane is such shit for Cleric Beast.

Gascoigne

yes? I also have no idea if the different starting guns have different parry windows, but the Blunderbuss just wrecks him.

love the saw blade. love using the transformation mid-combo. switched to the twin blades for now, tho.

 

[void666]

Second boss is kicking my fat ass.

 

[Nyteshade517]

How do I access the storage?

go into the house in Hunter's Dream...right by the front door is the the storage (just press L2/R2 to switch between your bag and your bank)

try to land some parries it's what worked for me, I just killed him with two parries and thrusts.

Up on the d pad sacrifices health for emergency bullets
There is a tutorial message about it pretty early on

Yes. What is there to be confused about?

Alright, it's go time.

That gives you some bullets (three, I think) at the cost of health.

 

[bananafactory]

Man the threaded cane is such shit for Cleric Beast.

That's good to hear. I was worried I just suck, but yeah it's the weapon thats the problem not me!!

 

[aravuus]

Can't remember, was there a way to power up the blood vials? I kinda remember watching a stream where the player's vial healed him more than mine does

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Yo these damn

Spoiler

Crows

freak me the hell out every damn time.

Going through the dumps in the canals, the ones that hop down freaked me the fuck out. I started rolling everywhere.

 

[super-famicom]

Btw, this game is the real deal. holy hell. lol

Pressing Up gives you 5 blood bullets. Good if you're out of ammo and have plenty of blood vials.

 

[antitrop]

love the saw blade. love using the transformation mid-combo. switched to the twin blades for now, tho.

R1 L1 L1 with the saw blade is good times. It just looks cool, I don't think it's very efficient for damage.

 

[saveweyard]

Mine hasn't either.

Oh wait, yes it has! Here we go...

 

[Hixx]

is there a shortcut to the second boss or do I have to keep running this sewer path?

Spoiler

at the entrance where that big pig came from there's a ladder to the right. go up it, there's an elevator to the left of the bridge up here. use it once to unlock it then it's a pretty short run from the CY lantern if you've unlocked the shortcut to the first boss

 

[Ethelwulf]

Loving this game so far... I just killed the first boss (second attempt) and holy shit that was rewarding. Spent around 4 hours exploring the city before trying to kill it though. Unfortunately

Spoiler

I attacked the female NPC raven hunter because a damn note that said: Attack helps... lol

and I'm worried this might be bad. Anyone in the same situation? Anyway, it is what it is. How are you guys enjoying the game?

 

[hitsugi]

UPS JUST DROPPED IT OFF

THE TRUE NEXT GENERATION STARTS HERE!!!!


...after I DL this 5 hour patch

 

[terrible]

That's good to hear. I was worried I just suck, but yeah it's the weapon thats the problem not me!!

Yeah I'm going to have to blame the weapon too in order to gain some confidence back.

Stupid cane.

ah I must've missed that, thanks!

I'm believe the Axe scales with STR.

 

[xir]

anyone figured out how to turn into a beast/beasthood stat? My guess, and it's admittingly batshit crazy, is that they'll tie it to the actual moon cycle. So, April 4+5th and stuff will start happening....

 

[Starviper]

Just got home, no package.. No idea where it is. :|

This sucks.
