I've died like 30 times - HP is at half
I lost all my Dark Souls skills
Protip - Dont get hit
Played around 3 hours at a friends house last night on the PS3.
It felt very nice, I thought the graphics we a big improvement, the zones were more open and the early progression felt well designed - especially for new players.
I'm waiting for the PC release, but this game has gone from something I was simply interested in to HYPE. My friend had the guide book and looking at all the armor sets and weapons you can see that the level of customization for players is going to be huge.

the rapier is one of my favored dex weapons. though its r2 is a parry animation in DS2.
I will give you an example of things that are just there to make life harder on you...I paid 1,000 souls for the key to open the Blacksmiths shop and it cost me 700 souls to repair my Scimitar + 1...about 3 kills later,probably because I also banged it on a wall a few times killing something,it's fucking damaged again...also what can I put in the top center rectangle...? I am guessing magic but since I am a swordsman for now,I dont have any spells...how about the bombs...? as far as I can see I need to throw them through my open inventory...? or can I put it in said top slot(playing on 360)...
If I travel back to level up,will the ennemies be all back...also somekind of map would be useful,they could of added that...etc etc...

After putting in about 5 hours yesterday, I think this is one of the best sequels I've ever played. The punishment for dying hollow is so brutal! The online seems way more smooth but I was still getting some lagged out/walled monsters when two other phantoms were in game. Looking forward to seeing if this game will be better overall than the original.
i did that, but the item is still there.
THAT was one of the areas. It is an easy area (beginner bosses). There are two bosses and the boss on the right tower is the easier one imo. Just dodge dodge attack. Easy as that. I took him on as the first boss with Soul Level 23

In Dark Souls 1,
you need to drop the appropriate item and reload the game.
In the sequel,
you simply "leave" the appropriate item. The crows will celebrate, and you can immediately pick up your prize.
I gotta say after playing for a few hours I'm pretty disappointed. I don't know how I didn't see someone say this already but this isn't DaS2, it's DeS2 regardless of what the title says. It both looks and plays more like DeS than DaS. It has that slower, clunkier more automated combat like DeS which I'm not a fan of, it just feels like any other game to me. One of the biggest joys of DaS for me is how quick, responsive and accurate the feeling of control is in the game. That's why it's so fun to play over and over again trying out all the different ways to play.
I feel like I would have preferred if they just made a full game sized expansion pack for Dark Souls rather than this.

Yeah, I noticed this too, and it's really annoying.

What SL has everybody been fighting the first boss (
) at? I just realized I may be under leveled since I've been mostly using the souls I don't lose for items to help me out.

It didn't get much better for me. You have to level a couple times to use the weakest shield I've found. You pretty much have to dodge more often and be more cautious about running into areas. Soul Arrow has enough uses that you can make it most of the way between bonfires using it almost exclusively though. Sorcerer seems to make the game more difficult, where in Demon's / Dark 1 it made things much easier - but I haven't tried another class, so I can't say for sure.
That said, I felt pretty awesome taking down multiple enemies at once with a dagger. I'm actually a little glad it'd take 12+ levels to start using a "decent" weapon, since it's forcing me to use the "crappy" one as a tradeoff for starting out with spells.
i will try something else then, thanks a lot xD

Damnit I just picked up my go to weapon, the long sword and they changed the strong attack from the stab to the swipe. Why'd they do that for? The broad sword already does this.
Glad the 360 servers seem to be working this morning.

Yeah,
that's a negative response. You're looking for a positive one.

the Silky and Smooth crows get really happy when you give them something silky/smooth
Oh god it's finally here, hope the lady working at the post office right now isn't the grumpy one who won't give me my parcels if I don't have the delivery notice card. I was past my limit weeks ago, I need my dark souls.
Still not even sure if I want to start as cleric or explorer, I'd end up with the same stats in the end. I could just flip a coin maybe.

I really love the hammers in this game.
Maybe he dont like what you drop. He tell you exactly that.
EU servers aren't up yet I take it :/
It's only 2 days early.
Also I got really excited when I saw an actual, proper manual with the game
I just got the game, 2 days early! This is awesome.
If EU servers are not up, EU summoning and such wont work?
Sucks, but is not gonna stop me enjoying the game

Yup I'm underleveled. I think I'm only level 16 right now and most of my souls went into ADP. Guess I need to buff myself up.

You're correct that slot is used for the magic abilities. It doesn't unlock until you level your ATN to 10.. As for bomb usage, they're considered consumables, so they would go in the bottom slot (equip them where you would put life gems, throwing knives etc..)
Enemies have a set re-spawn limit now (15?).. Once you reach that limit they're gone for your current playthrough.. In the Souls game, your brain is the map.. Go to an area and study it well. I think a map would greatly diminish so of the challenge.
Is there an upper limit to how many orange messages you can put down? I have three up at the moment. I want to put down another, but I don't have the option to. I can still see and rate others.

Apologies if this has been answered already but did anyone else who purchased the PS3 regular ed, not get a manual either?
Don't think so I've put down way more than 3, there's just some places where messages aren't allowed

Sitting at work. Know what I really wish I was doing right now?
Thanks. I'll give it another go tonight. I hate leaving unopened treasures. Yeah, I even tried it naked and I didn't notice a difference between 54.3% to 0% encumbrance.
And for something that difficult to get to, at least include something nice instead of some souls :/
