upgrading it raises dex scaling at a good pace. Also has great faith scaling when infused appropriately later in the game. Not sure about int.

So you're good at video games. It's still a very hard game. A lot of people would fail to beat the first boss, even though I consider it easy. Also, you've still put over a hundred hours into it. You better be good.
I also doubt anyone platinumed bloodborne "half asleep".
Loading bug.
I did, then ran Q&A for the |OT| for the second half of the first one and all of the second one, cause people asked a lot of questions in it :x
DS isn't a hard series. It plays different from others. A series where you can repeat similar tactics or be patient to consistently win is not a series I'd consider hard...
And here I thought we had some new plot, but nope, glitches, all the glitches.

Anyone who says they beat Orphan of Kos "half asleep" is a god damn liar.
Yep, promptly reminded why i suck at these games. Leave firelink shrine, get 1 shot by naked dude with a Katana.
git gud, etc.
Seriously, how do i pass that guy? Blocking does nothing. i got him down to half health after like 5 minutes of careful dodging. but one slip and youre done.

Get him close and jump off the edge...he'll follow you off. He drops an Uchi which is incredible for so early on in the game.
Ah. Was planning on using a quality build and picking up a greatsword with a decent moveset to trudge through the game with. I've got my longsword attuned to fire and it's working pretty nicely. You think the sword would be worth switching to, or should I just use my Fire Longsword until I run across a greatsword weapon?

wow your dick must be HUGE
I think this happens to decrease loading time when entering this location.
This was confirmed to be a bug?

The cheese is so real. Haha
Just so i know, jumping wont kill me as well?
If you didn't find the previous games difficult, most likely you won't find this game hard and punishing either except maybe for a couple of bosses and maybe an area or two depending when you decide to tackle those. Even then given your history you might find those just a tad extra challenging (instead of straight up difficult).
Hope you'll still enjoy the game..

So, some non-spoiler impressions after putting in a 12 hour day.
I'm playing on PS4. The performance is downright awful in some areas. Once I got to a few of the more open places, I've had the framerate tank really low. Only once it got me killed when a bunch of enemies showed up, but it has been fine for the most part. I'd say it runs worse than bloodborne, but I haven't noticed the frame pacing issues bloodborne had.
The music is top notch, absolutely fantastic. Up there with Demon's Souls.
Weapon variety is very good. I had so many weapons when I sold all my junk before I logged out, maybe 15+ unique weapons.
Armor. same thing, I have about 8 sets of armor now.
Bosses seem somewhat creative? A few were fun, others really boring.
Level pacing is DREADFUL. I'm currently level 39 and it's taking me forever to level up. I'm still getting 80-90 souls from regular enemies and it takes 10,000 souls to level up.
That being said, I'm in a place where I need to buy a lot of things, so maybe it'd be better if that wasn't the case.
Movement and control feels superb. Love the weapon arts. Miracles seem fine defensively.
Lots of secrets, some that made me smile. Check everywhere. I missed an entire area that took me 30 minutes to complete that was almost entirely hidden, I've missed that.
Lots of tasteful nostalgia.
Overall very happy, especially considering I'm on project break from work until Monday.

It will, but just run back to that spot and his loot will be where he originally stands.

stick with the fire longsword if that is your goal, it will serve you well early on.

Wow, I can already tell I'd love this game so much more than the other Souls games... but I'm having more difficulty with it actually working than I've ever had with a PC game in honestly the last 5+ years. Its crashing constantly, freezes every time it saves, sometimes the movement input gets stuck only for the character and I have to restart the game, etc. Its really a shame. I was wondering if my RAM might be low (I only have 6GB) but the minimum RAM is 4GB so that should be fine, and I've literally had 0 issues with much more demanding games (like Witcher 3 most recently). Hopefully they'll patch some of the issues up soon.

Been playing around with a fun build: Butcher's Knife, Knight Slayer Ring. I'm level 19 so I can invade High Wall and Settlement..

My mistake... I didn't mean straight up bug, but more like it's purpose is the one you described as well (loading the area). However, for me at least, the fog at the main entrance always seemed to bug out compared to the one upstairs that would vanish quite quickly.
Oh, okay.
I love souls though ^_^
The combat and world design is really satisfying
Okay, in the
forest
me killing enough crabs that their parent came along to say no.
...it died, can I cook it :3

In haven't upgraded a god damn thing in fear that I will use up shards... Do we know if there is a merchant who sells shards?
I was blown away the first time I heard it. It's fantastic.

Console players get hyped! 30 minutes
What should I choose as my gift as a Knight?
Hard not to go with fire gem for every class imo.
''b-but souls games fatigue''79,528 all-time peak it seems so that's almost double.
''b-but this game is clearly not hyped at all''

Here was my playstyle in Bloodborne:
Big ass sword, lots of Skill (DEX) and Strength. What should my build here be? I wanna wield a big ass sword.

All these posts look like classified FBI documents, too. I love it.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Pryromancy + Dex build still a fun way to go? Any major watch outs while building character? Havent kept up with patches
