Anyone having issues connecting to the Dark Souls 2 servers on PS3?

Me what do gaf, start in offline??

Seriously, I can't connect, anybody else with this on PS3? Is it both versions?

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Woo! Got it.

Hey are you guys going to use the black armor set or do you consider it cheating?

Thats a great question. I don't know if its cheating, but man do those weapons look like an ugly afterthought.

I think I might skip them, but I'm more passing judgement on publishers squeezing people for more pre-orders with bonuses that alter a games difficulty than I am passing judgement on players who've paid for it so figure they might as well use it.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Crap, am I going to have to play offline tonight. servers not working.

 

[Kai Dracon]

I'm on blackout for this game. How is the framerate on the PS3 version, is it messy like the previous games or stable 30?

Better than DS1, no Blighttown / New Londo Ruins quality frame drops. Not perfect 30fps either.

Why is there a picture of Hitler on the wall?

 

[Laurentius]

Gah. After dodging all media about the game for the last month or so (and avoiding even minor spoilers) I inadvertently stumbled on my first spoiler tonight.

It's gonna be a long wait until April 25th. Might just have to turn off the internet until then. (Yeah, that's never going to happen.)

 

[Gorillaz]

Installing now

So servers are offline huh? Lol well offline it is then can't wait for dat opening cinematic

edit: these servers are fucking dead haha

 

[ironcreed]

Come on, Sony. It would be nice if you could be on time just once.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Servers offline??

From the Dark Souls II website

Dark Souls II for PS3 is currently experiencing occasional difficulty with some online matching features.
NAMCO BANDAI Games is currently working with FromSoftware and Sony Computer Entertainment to
address all difficulties and will provide an update shortly. Thank you for your understanding.

I didn't know Black Armor edition came with a dynamic theme on PS3. Even if you don't want to use the gear you might want to try out the theme.

It's a beta?

beta souls 2

 

[Persona7]

I didn't realize only Japanese developed games have server issues at launch.

 

[SargerusBR]

[sssstententen]

Character creation kinda disapointing. Couldn't even bring all the hairs back from Dark souls?

It's also running a little rough, the intro is strange.

Game is just weird in general so far.

Framerate is bad but you'll get used to it.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Expected Deliver March 12...NOOOOOOOOO

 

[Toxi]

No, but it's always difficult dealing with a net structure that's really shitty compared to your own, especially when you're switching back to servers after your last Souls game was player-to-player.

 

[RK9039]

Lmao, that's awesome.

 

[Chance Hale]

Watching the giantbomb quicklook and it's odd as like Dynasty Warriors there are moments where it briefly runs at 60 FPS out of nowhere. Gets me hyped for the pc version at least. Hope my PS3 CE arrives tomorrow, don't know how long I'll be able to avoid reading on.

 

[Raxus]

Servers still down for anyone else?

 

[neoemonk]

Calibrations?! I didn't know Garrus worked on this game!

 

[Minamu]

I haven't preordered my copy and I don't think I'll need to, but I was just thinking, are there any pros for going digital in this case? My ps3 hdd is small, 40gb, and it can only carry 2-3 game installs tops thanks to loads of dlc etc (not that I'll ever uninstall this, heh). I don't care about the hard case or preorder weapons, the prices seem fairly similar across shops and online including psn here in EU. Any word of performance improvements thanks to being installed?

Ehum disc or download?!

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

So my first death in dark souls 2 is at the freaking start of the game I walk directly off a cliff looking for items LOL Didnt even make a character yet

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Just paid off my pre-order at gamestop, waiting to pick up game now.

8 Titanfall preorders, 58 Dark Souls preorders.

<3

 

[J4g3r]

2 hour PSN preorder HYPE?!

 

[mugwhump]

I don't care about lighting but does this game have a big-titty princess?

 

[Arkos]

Servers still down for anyone else?

Me. I'm just starting offline. Fuck it I guess

 

[MilkBeard]

I don't care about lighting but does this game have a big-titty princess?

No amazing chests ahead confirmed.

Spoiler

 

[Gorillaz]

are we allowed to actually talk about the game at this point?

because I'm at the class/gift screen and one of the items doesn't even have a fucking description. It's just

"it does something"

edit: gotta love mobile autocorrect

I'd assumed there would be more customization options... Less choices, really?

I can still make my skin purple right?

 

[Soyongdori]

So I got the game, now what?

 

[Grisby]

Admiring the steel case while Titanfall is installing.

It's a pretty badass cover.

Still more useful than the Pendant.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Wow, so the servers are down and the only thing we know is that they'll have a update shortly? When's "shortly"? goddamnit.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Bah what gift should I get is this

Spoiler

seed of a tree of giants going to give me something amazing later on?

None of the starting gifts are as broken as the master key so you can choose whatever you'd like

If you want to know what that specific item does,

Spoiler

you can trade it to this game's snuggly for 1 of 3 random items - a whip, a slab, or a ring that makes you look like a white phantom

Bah what gift should I get is this

Spoiler

It's a consumable

Spoiler

and lets you make enemies in the area you use it attack invaders as well

 

[Astral]

I'm playing what I'm assuming is the prologue and it's asking me to recall my name. Does this part matter?

Spoiler

I'll get to name my actual character later right?

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Didn't the pendant have something to do with the DLC or was it really completely useless?

 

[mugwhump]

No amazing chests ahead confirmed.

Spoiler

worse than a super nintendo game

preorder canclled

from has destroyed everything that made dark souls what it was
