Load times fine on ps4? Didn't occur to me when I ordered it for PS4, but are they similar to PC?
Just to clarify, durability is same as pc version? I didn't have a problem with that. Daggers did break pretty quick though.

^Coming from the PS3 version yeah they seem very fast to me.
I think weapons tend to break slightly more faster this time (compared to the PS3 version) but with so many weapons in my equipment it really isn't a problem.If you're having troubles just upgrade 2 weapons instead of one and switch between them.
Also i only did the forest area (
) and i already have 2 repair powders.

It is making one of my friends not want to continue playing. It is really annoying for some of the starting classes.
I agree with you. And i'm not a newcomer. I've played through the game two times before.
But after coming from bloodborne i'm finding DS2 lacking in everything (but diversity).
Coming from Bloodborne I was thrilled with how quickly everything loads... Especially because I tend to zip back to home base frequently.
The very least they could do is double the durability of all weapons in the 60fps versions of the game.
I'm just the opposite...playing this just reinforces my opinion that Bloodborne is my least favorite of the Souls' games. It's still a great game but I just prefer almost every aspect of the Souls games more (except the shotgun parrying, I miss that...).
You don't lose durability 2x all the time. It doesn't work like that.
Doubling durability would enable experienced players to get the weapons to last forever.

This feels so much harder than Bloodborne. I can't get past the first room with more than one enemy lol.
Combat feels way way less forgiving than BB.
The knight enemies after the tutorial, I went through the sewer from the first settlement.

kill the one on the platform first, if he falls off hes gonna jump back up right where he fell off. Then try to divide and conquer the two when the other jumps on the platform.
Its not easy.
Makes me super happy to see all the new players enjoying this fantastic game 
. Seems Namco made the right call doing a remaster, my selfish side thinks it's gonna help a ton with getting a sequel greenlit as well.
And I really can't wait for a sequel by the same team after the amazing DLC they put out

Good deal! Our of curiosity, how many primal bonfires have you lit?
should I stay on the platform for the other two?

They could use some sort of figure. 1.5x or whatever. Anything's a start but they just seem too disinterested in it. FROM can be a really dissapointing developer in many ways. They just make such stupid mistakes and leave them be.
No, it makes it way harder.

Hmm... Im going to assume primal bonfires look different than normal bonfires? Cus all of the bonfires I have lit so far have all looked like normal bonfires! So none Im guessing lol

Is the durability bug only in the PC version or does the PS4 version also include it?

The durability is a problem in the game. Its not game breaking, but its bothersome. Shit just breaks too fast and you need the ring to make it manageable.

They look similar, but there's a certain effect - you'll know it when it happens.
With that knowledge, I feel pretty confident saying you still have quite some ways to go before the game really reveals itself.
I'd guess you're potentially 20%-30% or so complete. :-D

Beat this on PS3 and just picked up the PS4 version today. Super excited to jump back in.

Anyone? I don't want to drop $30 if I don't have to.
Perhaps they will release a fix, but it is just not affecting me thus far. That is all I can say.

I had my broadsword break on the way to the third bonfire (where you find the merchant). I only killed the mobs from the valley to there and it broke. Thats just too fast.

I can't believe they didn't fix the durability problem. That is ridiculous. No way I'm getting this until I've heard it's fixed.
I started as a knight with the same weapon and suffered no breaks and did not avoid enemies. Further, I have had zero breaks in general after 7 hours so far and am now using a mace +3. *shrugs*
I was doing bell bros. invasions and my random bell bro and i had the same gesture in mind ,lol.
The timing couldn't have been anymore perfect if we planned it.
LOL, gold.

It is seriously, honestly, not a problem. There are maybe 2-3 areas in the entire game where you may need to switch to another weapon before the next bonfire due to breaking. It will not be fixed because it's working as intended, as in you have to at least slightly pay attention to durability versus never worrying about it (which is apparently what many people would prefer but negates its purpose entirely).
It's getting completely blown out of proportion and I feel like I'm not drinking the kool-aid or something.
Same here. I've at a couple weapons come close and I merely switched for the remaining 6-7 enemies before the next bonfire. I've used the broadsword, shortsword, claymore, greatsword, daggers, etc etc.

There has been a durability fix posted on Reddit by someone who apparently has some history with modding Dark Souls 2. This is what the readme of his fix says:
So it appears FROM changed weapon damage in SotFS to not apply based on framerate, but to specifically apply double the damage that the PS3/360 versions had. In other words, FROM did fix the issue of having weapon damage calculate based on framerate, but they canonized the original PC version's degradation speed.
This makes me think that this is the intended behavior. In any case, if you want your weapons to degrade slower, then you can always download this fix for the DX11 version. Unclear yet whether you will get a softban for using it though.

I've experienced lots of breaks, but then again I was using a "broken short sword". I think it's just compounded by the already really weak weapons you get early on. As you start picking up better weapons, and leveling them up, it should likely improve.
One of the new traps caught me and a few others by surprise it seems.
Four of us dying at the exact same time:
Oh my fucking god :lol. So you can see three player ghosts at a time now? And you all fall down at the same time, that's hilarious.
Keep your gifs coming, they are great.
What's the verdict on the First Sin edition? did they make good changes? I played the DLC of the first game and really want to play more Dark Souls now
I would really like to play it on PS4 but seeing as I'm not likely to buy one soon, there's no choice but to buy the PC version
Is it a good port or needs modding and stuff like the first one?

There's that one hole in the poison gas area that has so many bloodstains around it. There's like 12 ghosts all falling into it at once
hilariousI laughed pretty hard when it happened.
It's really nice to have built in video capture for a game like this. I look forward to many more cool moments.
It's nice to go back to multplayer that actually works in this game and not just part time. I love Bloodborne, but it is what it is. Summon signs obliterate ringing your little bell and waiting to get lucky.
Oh, it's also nice to have bloodstains that function properly as well. Loving coming back to this with all of the surprises and upgrades.
