On the PS3 I haven't noticed many frame issues either, but I admittedly tend not to notice framerate differences unless it's buttery smooth or blighttown levels of bad.
I think both versions are fairly solid, it's just a matter of personal preference. Definitely less issues for me than either console version of DaS1.
Means you probably have to adjust your NAT settings via your router. What system are you playing on?
Maybe look at where the scores came from?
My collector's edition guide is out for delivery. I only ever buy guides when they are really nice like this one or just for games that I feel are special. But I'm thinking it is actually going to come in handy this time with all of the little nuances and changes.
On a side note, this is definitely feeling like it has gone back to more of Demon's Souls design in terms of the world progression. Yet it is bigger than either Demon's or Dark Souls I, while maintaining that same interlinking, shortcut unlocking path discovery design. As a result, it feels more wonderfully daunting than ever.

Crumbs. Do you think you'll get used to it?
I desperately want to duel wield Halberds. Preferably, BKHs if they're in the game.

I went back to the tutorial area and
Is there something I'm missing?
I found a coffin that I can get into. When I do the game starts loading and then I just pop out of the coffin again.
I'm a warrior, but I was stuck with some broken sword and a dagger.
Though I found much better weapons when I explored Forest of Giants.
JeuxActu gave it a 7/10 and I guess their review only counts for the PS3.
Not really. I think I found the blight town of the game last night and it's called
THE GUTTER
I would agree with this. It's got some of the trademarks.. but it's also a mix of
tomb of the giants
Can't find my way to the boss/where to go from the first bonfire though!
It's more like the pier areas of Valley of Defilement from Demon's Souls, albeit a lot easier to navigate.
You're in for a surprise next time you take off your helmet.

Man, I love that you can get invaded in areas you've already beaten the boss.
I'm still not having any luck getting summoned though. I'm trying a bunch of areas at SL92.
No. Dark Souls is P2P and this uses servers.

If I remember correctly atleast I had a real hard time getting summoned and summons failed moost of the time.
So thats why, lol.
Keep in mind that Dark Souls' online features were completely broken when the game first came out. That said, every boss mist door in Dark Souls II has at least 3-4 summon signs, and I get summoned for bosses within at least 2-3 minutes.

Does that mean your couch will be spared this time?

I'm playing a knight and started with a broadsword. I picked up a dagger later. So, not sure where that guy's broadsword went! Unlucky. Maybe it's just not equipped?
You should have a miniature white soapstone in your inventory and you will get the regular one from an NPC later.
Many people are saying it's Dark Souls and Demon's Souls put together. I'd say that's accurate.

Damn. I bought/upgraded the falchion early on which I had used for a long time before I understood the power stance stat requirement. I didn't realize how much damage I was missing out on. I guess I'll have to go buy/upgrade some lesser stat required weapons to properly dual wield until I can come back to curved swords.

how do you write messages or do I need to buy an item that I missed?

I had the bow in my left hand. R1 for aiming (it may have been hold L1, then press R1), L1 for firing.
So if the enemy respawns are finite, does that mean it is possible that you could leave an area and not gain any souls from it? Obviously this presumes you die a lot without RETRIEVAL! but this could have a profound impact on making sure you are appropriately leveled? Am I way off in thinking this?
New trailer is great:

A little from Column A, a little from Column B. It's definitely worth buying if you liked Demon's Souls, that's for sure.
Combo of both I would say, as most others have noted.

to be honest so far it feels like a mix of the two with a pinch a dragons dogma .
Unless you're going to do a build focused around Poise, it's probably not worth your time.
Holy shit Garcia, you weren't lying about how much better the online was.
Dark Souls II confirmed for Ansem's favorite game.
