Just an fyi, poise in this game is very different from DS1. I got to rank 1 in the BoB (50 wins in the arena, losses count against you) with a zero poise build.

Yes, the left stick movement feels a bit off. I had very little problems with platforming or fine tune aiming on DS3, but my 360 controller has resulted in more untimely falls than I care to admit.

Are. You. Fucking. KIDDING ME?!
Not in this game, you have to survive well after you defeat the boss to get the credit for it. No more trading, or clutch co-op kills where your phantoms finish off the boss while you lay dead on the floor.

Truth. I was an idiot and had to tackle it NG++. I would not recommend it...
Probably not. That happened to me the time before I really-really beat

So I have to beat the fucker TWICE? I was a hit away again and then died. I'm never going to beat this boss.
EDIT: I'm going to ragequit.
Oh man, hahaha. The guy (TheCyberPunked) that uploaded that ENB test footage I linked to before has also uploaded a graphic mods "trailer" that seems to be done kinda in the same vein as From Software's own earlier trailers.

Damn it's gonna be such a bitch to wait til say, early 2016, or whatever to have a 'Souls game on consoles (namely, The PS4) with *official* graphics at least as good as that.

Upgrade an Estoc and use that along with your Claymore, Estoc is very effective in the area you are going to, and pretty much everywhere else too. If you want a huge upgrade in damage, and equip burden, upgrade the Greatsword, big ass Ultra Greatsword.

They summon a red phantom for pvp.
Hi Fashion_souls gaf. Just want to share my setup. Console peasant here with shitty pictures taken off the TV screen; so please excuse the terrible picture quality. I feel it's harder to create good looking female character since most of the armors are meant for males characters.
This is what I'm running with on my sl166 sorcerer.
Looks pretty nice and fairly practically too.
Sometimes I switch to the witch hat.
I'm planning to have a pyromancer/shaman run in the future in this setup:
And a bow only hunter run with these:
Well... bare leg with heels seem to work with just any armor/top. It makes the ugly smelter tops look sexy.
of course the under boobs also help...
Finally, my hexer build...

Perfect timing by Lobosjr, he is streaming a Consumables only run and doing really well. http://www.twitch.tv/lobosjr Spoilers obviously.
Consumables are a lot more viable than they were in Dark Souls 1, I will never forget the 1 hour long consumables only fight with Artorias that Lobos did in DkS1.

Yes. This. This is exactly what is going on. Left stick feels chunky as FUCK. There's some crazy ass drag going on when I move forward as well, like the game wants to pan me around as I run forward.
I spent a lot of today being a phantom in earthen peak.
It's pretty interesting and fun to try to communicate that you need to
. I've probably successfully led at least five of em to do it using gesturesl, running around and mimicking what they're supposed to to lol.
I'm loving how i can get summoned into someone's game within mere seconds of putting a sign down. So much faster and more frequent than the first Dark Souls on PC, jesus.

If you want to platinum the game, you'll need the covenant rewards to fulfill some achievements.
It's a great feeling to get that one down. Even though it's optional, you can't let that one go for some reason.

Op...optional? *slits wrists*
Not that I wasn't going to do it anyway.
Guess that means I'm lost again.
Go through that door by bonfire. It's optional but worth it.

Lost 120k souls thanks to an invader... I would have raged if it wasn't for the fact that it took me just 20 minutes to farm them.
Still, fuck laggy as hell invasions. No fun at all. :-/
I love this game, dude. I still don't want to start NG+. I was so close to beat the

Ancient Dragon
I found a trap in the. A small one, not a big one that led to a locked door.Shaded Woods.
Worth falling down the small hole? Haha
Also an untalkative npc
there is a way to make him talk....how did the Ds1 NPC become more fluent? Same for DS2, but its no gift, you gotta pay dearly.
Ok I give up -- how do I actually cast a Miracle? What button on the 360 do I press?
- I equipped the ring that gives me an atunement slot
- I went to a bonfire and used the "attune" option to put Homeward into my slot
- I can see it on the "Up" dpad direction (although it seems kind of grayed out/transparent)
Now what :|
(I'm kind of peeved that DS1 and 2 both had tutorials of sorts for basic combat, but didn't explain magic at all)

The most annoying enemies in the game imo. They are just to fast.
Do you have a chime? You need one to perform miracles.
RB/LB depending on which hand you have your talisman equipped in.
That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks.

Love Lobosjr's challenge runs. Trying to hold off on watching DS2 stuff until I finish though

Lost Sinner
You need a chime equipped. The miracle lady on the path to Tower of Flame sells them.
I would be surprised if they didn't have a magic tutorial panel in Things Betwixt, you may have just missed it.
Whenever I am running low on health I just throw my sign down and help out with the area boss. If you beat the boss then you come back human and health, spell charges, and durability all restored.

But you played DS1 and still don't know how to use spells? It didn't change.
