So how can I use the two weapons I got as a gift? It won't let me "USE" them from the inventory or equip them with left/right DPAD. I am getting tired of punching everything to death.
 
Beat the Cleric Beast on my first try. Really cool design.

Is anyone else just not running out of Blood Vials? Enemies drop so many of them that I'm almost always at the max amount you can carry.
 
I'm trying to defeat that huge hooded guy at the beginning without using the gun. Not sure why I'm torturing myself like this, lol.
 
For the Brightness setting, I can't quite get the "beast to be invisible" unless I tweak my TV's brightness setting, but then I lose a lot of detail in the title screen.

Gonna start playing and see how the default brightness is. Any tips or insight?
 
Where are the save points? Getting really annoying and if I die I'm probably done. I am
in the sewers and now there's giant guys everywhere. Last save point was when I started the game!
 
Probably a dumb question. Predownloaded the game Sunday. Haven't had time to play today but I did launch the game and check for the update via the options button. Nothing showed up and nothing in my history either. Am I missing something obvious?

Open the menu and select the slots below the Inventory (2nd row) You can equip your weapons there. First two slots are for your right hand trick weapon, last two are for your left hand gun.
 
Done for the day , clocked in about 17 h . 7 bosses down it was fun. Game is awesome. To people complaining about blood vials system , I think it's perfect , it's easy enough to farm , later on in the game there are spots just made for that lol. Game is definitely more accessible then the previous souls titles. Can't wait for new game plus and my skill based hunter who will own everything with the burial blade.
 
How do I let him go around destroying stuff? Once in beast mode I'm the only thing he's gonna try and hit. Maybe I'm just sour because I spent longer on the second boss of this game than I've spent on any Souls boss ever.

Put gravestones between you and him and he'll destroy them as he swipes at you. I can empathize, fighting him toe to toe is fucking hard. He's not easy, but he's also not cheap/unfair. Like all Souls bosses, it's a matter of figuring it out.
 
How does the whole recovering soul..Blood work?.

From what I've seen you have to kill an enemy around the area where you died, but sometimes it's also just on the floor

I think it's just a bad translation or something. My TV is properly calibrated and making the beast invisible makes this look like an Xbox One game (crushed blacks everywhere). Default seems perfect to me - there are still very dark areas where it's hard to see anything without a torch.
 
Fuck this. It doesn't seem to matter what I do. I can't even level up yet to improve my odds of success so what's the point.
 
Im trying to play with a couple of friends with a password and its not working.

If I get it right we just need to set the same password and the host has to ring the big bell while the other two the small one?
 
so, I killed
the machine gunner on the top of the tower
pretty easily.....

I
climbed up, he aggroed, I thought better of it, and climbed down, he fell to his death trying to get me

Check under Information. If you're on 1.01 you're updated.
 
I've been seeing that awful yolo dark souls "hardcore gamers" comic around the internet a lot lately

that type of yolo mindset with these games works perfectly for me
 
Yea but if I die I lose about an hour of progress.

If you die, you respawn at the last checkpoint (lantern) you interacted with. The world resets, meaning enemies respawn. You'll lose any blood echoes you had, but have a chance to regain them. Any items you picked will stay in your inventory, any switches activated/doors opened will stay that way.

Sometimes the enemies eat your blood and you have to kill them to get it. They have purplish blue eyes. Otherwise its on the floor.

Did I miss a lantern? I've gotten so far from where the last one yet. Is there a list of lanterns?

Don't do that. Don't fuck up your entire tv's calibration just to make the beast invisible.

Mine is isn't invisible and the screen brightness and atmosphere looks fine.
 
Well this is fucking great. I pre-ordered it from PSN. Now that it released there was something wrong with my card and it didn't go through for some reason. Then I tried adding funds to my wallet and buy it that way instead. But I can't buy it...because it thinks I already own it. I''m guessing I'll have to wait for support tomorrow. fucking shit
