Is there a class most closest resembling blood borne style combat? Fast and dodgy? And what stats would govern that movement? Not much of a souls player but I beat blood borne and I absolutely loved the pacing of the combat

Thief is the closest I'd say, but starting class is really not that important. You'd want to keep a low equip load to keep the movement, so vitality would be the stat for that (or you could just go for very light armor in which case you might not have to level anything at all).

 

[Bedlam]

I'm talking about High Wall, not the area up ti fire link.

Me too. I found the first couple of areas and bosses to be pretty easy so far. Maybe because I chose the Pyro class.

 

[Robiin]

since earlier in chat I asked if you were bruce, since that's what the other robin (monsoonpower) on GAF goes by XD

Oh yeah, after I launched the game I forgot I joined the discord group lol, someone posted the link to it in this thread...

And yeah, I was having tons of sound issues as well. The background sfx were skipping like crazy anytime I pressed the d-pad through menus or quick select...

I think daggers weapon arts give you a dodge similar to Bloodborne's other than that I'd say just use light armor (which is what I did in DeS and DaS 1 cause I never got used to shields)

[SoulUnison]

Oof. 25ish FPS at 720 and everything on LOW/OFF.

Managed to get through the first boss without dying but even just swinging the camera around my character causes second-long stutters and pauses.

Guess this is going on the shelf until my next computer.

[Benzychenz]

Is there an important day one patch for this (on PS4)?

Won't have internet for another week so debating playing this now or just waiting.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Yay I beat the crystal lizard thingie on my first try in the starting area. Beginner's luck most likely. Wish I could play more right now but I gotta head to work.

I did the same thing then realized I couldn't level after getting all those souls so that boss fight before you could was tense

 

[MikeE21286]

So I'm opening the game for the first time after pre-loading on Steam and it's saying I have an update waiting for it that's going to take 9 hours?

I noticed the bloodstains too, but thought it was to early in the game for that.

 

[Vaporak]

Just played through the tutorial area and loving it. Runs fantastic on my PC and the graphic and art improvements over the last two games are very nice.

Started as a mercenary because I wanted to see the dual swords, and was very disappointed that the dual sword attacks do less damage than the one handed attacks...

 

[Alo0oy]

Having to wait three more hours is such bullshit, fuck Scamco!

There are similar clothes in the game, there's a ring for increasing damage with low equip load and there is even a ring

Spoiler

that refills Estus for dealing damage.

Finally, equip twin swords weapon, go two-handed. Bloodborne character (sans gun).

This is in fact a genius move by Bandai Namco. Now playing Dark Souls 3 will truly be the hardest.

there's a key in the next area with the boss near the poison water. Take key back to the room in dungeon with all the prison guards and there is a locked door.

This is like Silent Hill Souls.

Suddenly a random undead became a gigantic abomination that looks like somefin out of Bloodborne.

I am loving it. Just wish it ran better, pretty sure my PC can handle it, if it wasn't poorly optimized.

 

[teokrazia]

What weapon is that?

Carthus Curved Sword.
It has been dropped by...

a ninja warrior-like skeleton, in the Catacombs of Carthus

Another amazing [and pretty tough] level.

ok, that's assuring. won't be 9 hours then lol

It's terrible to say this, but that makes me feel better, hahah.

What happened that you need to wait 3 days...?

Those transforming enemies

Spoiler

really are high risk no reward huh. I know

Spoiler

you can kill them before they transform, but if you fail you're stuck with something that can kill you in 4 hits that's worth merely 150 souls

.

Also, I might be lost. Almost 3h in and I've only found one boss. I'd think I'm at the wrong place, but so far nothing killed me in 2 hits so I think I'm okay.

Does this game go directly to character creation when starting a new game like Demon's Souls and Dark Souls or is there an opening cutscene like Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2? I want to make a character before work tomorrow so I can dive in as soon as I get back.

Opening cutscene (~3 minutes) > character creation > start of game after a 5 second cinematic

Intro cinematic first, then character creation.

That first boss...

Totally forgot I was playing Souls for a second and tried to pause when my girlfriend came into the room. I just hit start and instinctively looked away from the screen for only about a second or two, but it was enough to get me killed. Hello darkness my old friend...

Also, was REALLY surprised by the

goddamn, getting summoned is like lightning fast! even on places where people wouldn't normally check for summon signs!

I'm amazed that this game crashes so hard that it crashes Steam. I have never seen anything like it.

 

[Wookieomg]

Anyone else having problem with online connectivity for the PC version? Trying to play with friends and we're having trouble getting summoned to each other's worlds.

 

[SRTtoZ]

I sense input lag :-(

PC?

 

[Phanatic8390]

Wow, this is a pretty easy first boss.

*2 minutes later

Oh fuck you

 

[Sarcasm]

PC?

Yea. Its really only noticeable on slow weapons, like the one cleric starts with. Tried out warrior and its almost hidden.

They gave the mimic the freaking Tatsumaki Senpukyaku! He caught me up a whole flight of stairs!

 

[rdytoroll]

Got to the 2nd area, will play all day tomorrow after a good night's sleep. One question: There's a locked door near the second bonfire in the first area with an elevator behind it. I searched high and low but couldn't find a path to unlock it. Anyone got that door open?

 

[Griss]

Having fun so far - I'm up on the High Wall and have really just started. A lot of it is reminding me of Demon's Souls, actually.

Visually it's not a match for Bloodborne (or even close, imo) but the IQ is very nice and it's far better looking than the Scholar of the First Sin port. Only issue so far is that the 60fps nature of it is making me a little queasy - not uncommon for me, but it'll pass. I would genuinely enable a 30fps mode if it was there but it shouldn't be an issue for much longer.

 

[Demo85]

Can anyone give me the run down on multiplayer items? How to be summoned and lay down my sign, how to invade. Stuff like that. Don't wanna google and get spoiled.


Also should I but the white soap stone from the shrine vender? No pickups for it at the start of the game? Same for the chain link set, any pick ups in the first half for it?

You need to use a ember and buy the white soap stone. Using the white soap stone, while in embered form, will allow you to place your summon sign down.

To invade you need to be in embered form and use a cracked red eye orb or a full red eye orb. In addition, the covenants are related to multiplayer. Too lazy to type since I am on moblie.
