Pyro class, dunno about gift.
If Durante manages to fix what's left to fix, then hell yeah. You can even get it for 32 bucks on GMG.
GFWL and 30 FPS still suck though...

How did you get to the Black Knight?
Just a rendering bug. The dragon is still there.
What's your catalyst version?
Have you tried resetting steam? I had to do that to get the pre-download to work.

I started playing with the patch and it looks and plays great on my Athlon Phenom 2 X4 3.2Ghz and Nvidia 560TI.
One thing though...can you change the controller key bindings? I'd really prefer for the dash button to be A and confirm to be B and it doesn't have the option to change controller layout. Anyone know if it can be modified? I tried just reversing the keyboard layout and unfortunately it didn't change it for the controller also.

Sounds like Dark Souls, alright. In the console version I remember people mentioning looking at the dragon funny and having him fly away. If you're lucky he fell through the world and it counts as a death. Free 10k souls, or whatever he was worth. Don't sweat not getting the drake sword - you can get pretty damn powerful weapons early on just through regular upgrades.
Or, I guess like others are saying, a display bug. Either way THE REAL DARK SOULS STARTS HERE.
Yea, I already did that and it solved the problem. Thanks, though! Panicked for a little bit, there.
So you can't kill him from behind at this point?
TBH, it runs so smooth despite being 30fps that I don't really care anymore. Rock solid with no stuttering. Feels better than a lot of 60fps games, to be honest.
Already got that, just wanted the instant kill from behind.
Good to hear. At this point does anyone think a Q6600 won't handle the game?

I'm a Souls virgin, just beat that first boss in the cathedral... My heart was pounding when I got him down to 1/4 health. Hmmm maybe I'm starting to see what you guys were talking about
Btw, is it recommended that I lock on to enemies?

In the console version, there was a bug where you could kill him from the tower, but it has been fixed.
Ahh, that explains it then.

Depends on the enemy. There are some bosses where it's better to fight without the lock on. Asylum Demon in particular comes to mind. Smaller enemies I generally lock on to though for easier backstabs.

For spell targeting? Absolutely. For melee? Also probably, yes - but not necessarily for the first hit, especially if you're charging in.

Yes. You can lock of when it gets to be inconvenient just pop it off. Lock on is really useful for strafing enemy attacks.

Depends on the enemy type. If you're up against a single enemy, or really close, lock on.

Woah, what? Since when did steam release numbers like that? How do I get that view?

Click the Concurrent users graph on Steam front page.
Yeah, GFWL is annoying as hell, but the 30FPS thing isn't all that noticeable or bothersome. It's just a matter of principle, so to speak
Again, IMHO Durante just singlehandedly doubled the value of the game, and I'd say people should wait a couple days until he finishes it up and treat themselves one of the best games of the generation.

GAF, does the game support borderless windowed?
Or even just windowed?

Fullscreen and windowed only.

Depends on your play style. Locking on is generally always a good idea even against groups if you're the type of player who circles and moves around a lot, especially as you get enemy timings and rhythms down.
By circling and rolling around frequently as you're locked on, you can keep always keep an eye on your surroundings and keep from being ambushed by an unexpected attack, as well as consistently get into great positions for backstabs and flank attacks. Locking on generally allows you to be much more precise with your attacks and movements.
I lock on with almost every enemy in these games and find it a much more comfortable and effective way to play. Your mileage may vary.

Well, had to calibrate the controller, so that works, but no pop-ups for Game for Windows. Again, I have little to no experience with Windows Live, but I know I cannot save without it. Any other tips are appreciated =)
Fixed at last...yay!!! I didn't know the old version of GFWL didn't update, and that was the problem.

So is GMG the only way to get a bit more cheaper?
I'm on a shoestring budget at the moment (currently unemployed), but I'd like to give this a try. Is there any way I can get it somewhere less than USD20? Other than those dubious russian keys websites.
