Yeah think Bloodborne made me dig being a more aggressive player where I had previously always played + a shield in DeS and both DaS....having a lot of fun doing this.
Gotta get used to not having the re-gen system though....

Man, really struggling w/ the pursuer, just can't get a good read on his attacks and never get a chance to heal.

I just fought him today in SotFS, just in NG, beat him only in a few tries with the help of the NPC fantom (just to keep him occupied for a while). The Greatsword does some neat damage though, so that helps.
With Pursuer he always does that 3 hit combo usually with a long arcing 3rd hit, or sometimes he does the jump and dive for the 3rd hit. Usually after dodging one of his long combo strings is the best time to get a heal in as he is recovering. Try to get hits in during those same moments when you don't need to heal. Get maybe 1 or 2 strikes, but don't push it, have enough stamina at the ready to roll back
Yep. I hate him. But at the same time he's tough but fair, never felt I died because of bad design, it's always making a stupid mistake that does it lol
Every attack he does except the curse move and his sonic boom can be dodged by rolling towards is left leg. When he his powering up for curse run behind him and just smoke him. If he jumps in the air to strike just roll towards him. Once you time your rolls you wont get hit against him. Fighting two is a different kettle of fish.

In order of release, the first DLC has two main bosses and one optional boss; the second DLC has one main boss and two optional bosses; and the third DLC has two main bosses and one optional boss.

I keep hearing this growling//moaning noise in the background. Don't remember it being in so many areas last time I played.
Note that there is one boss in each DLC that people get pissy about, for either being a cheesy, repeat-ish palette swap, or unfun bullshit, in that order.
Have you got ring of whispers on?

Lol, damn. I'm a dumb. Thanks,yo!
Lol I did it as well. Creepy as fuck
Its not bad. You will get use to it.
3 in each, nice. And what's the order of release while I'm at it? Just the zones where they are will suffice, for future reference

I defeated him so easily on my next attempt, just had to focus a bit better.

Got my first Great Soul at the end of
I gotta say, I really liked the reoccurring appearances of the Pursuer throughout the game so far. Lives up to the name sake, and each encounter is still fun.
Now on to
Sinner's Rise.
Now on to
Hunstman's Copse.

What is the equivalent of Dragon's Tooth in this game?

Dragon's Tooth.
No seriously. You even find havel's set too. The tooth is in a much later area in the game.

Black Gulch, Iron Keep, Shrine of Winter.
This is true.

Hm.
I wonder why developers realize that R1 and Right Bumber should not be considered as analogous buttons.

So I'm guessing 1.4 million in soul memory is a little much for co-op in D

Seemed the same to me. What weapon were you using? level? Also, you could just be better now.

Crystal lizards are the hardest enemy in the game. I don't remember their hitboxes being quite this bad in the original.
Is there a particular weapon that is useful against them?

I usually go with a bow
It can be brutally hard for some pure melee builds. I know it was for mine.
What order did you take them out in?

Wow. I never thought I would forget how to play this game! I keep on whiffing with my starter sword like I'm a couple inches away from making contact! BB has messed with me! I need to get a great sword or club stat!

I first fought them with a pure strength build and didn't find it THAT difficult (I'd be lying if I said I didn't get my ass kicked a few times). Once you realize you're supposed to
use kiting and the environment to your advantage

NO AMOUNT OF DARK SOULS CAN WITHSTAND THE MAGNIFICENCE OF ALEX LOUIS ARMSTRONG, THE STRONGARM ALCHEMIST
I'm having a lot of fun punching shit.
who? reminds me of Bronson.
I mained a mace for the entire game and that was the first time that I had to switch up my weapon because no matter what I tried, I couldn't separate Alva from Havel. I could usually take out the archer, but Havel's poise would wreck me any time I tried to do anything to the remaining two.
Eventually, I just upgraded a halberd and found a technique that involved running in circles, falling into the water until Alva would jump into the water with me and Havel would try to circle around the top. I would take that chance to spinneroony Alva and then continue running away.
Took me almost half an hour to do it the time I finally won (and I nearly died taking out Havel by himself because I was getting impatient and underestimated him). Twas a brutal fight.

Is the DX11 worth an extra $13?
I have $37 in my steam wallet right now. I could get the DX9 version for $3 more and not really feel the hit to my real wallet.
I could spend an extra $13 out of my real wallet and get the DX11 version.
DX9 supports mods and such.
DX11 looks ever so slightly better from what I understand.

Oh, cool.
LOL, I just assumed I was invaded after seeing the message. Is he new? I don't remember him.
Yeah. There's a bunch of new ones.
My rule of thumb is, if it has a coherent name, it's a npc
Goes for summons too

That is what I figured, as I definitely did not remember him. It totally threw me off after seeing the invasion message and I just assumed that I was invaded by a person. So many new things in this game.
Didn't see any invader in there. But I'm a ratbro so that might have something to do with it
With the way they changed enemy and item placement, the DX11 version is the better game. For $10 extra it is definitely the way to go.
