For anyone new to the game I recommend Epic Name Bro's YouTube Channel.
He has an entire walk through/ play through of the game as well as Weapons/Armour guides and even a section on Dark Souls lore (although I warn you about potential spoilers).

Has anyone else ran into an issue with Wired 360 Controller for Windows where the character will stop running and start walking?
Sometimes just randomly it it will go from a full run to a brisk walk through the park, with no input change to the controller.
EDIT: I accidentally a word.

I guess you have the same issue?
Edit: Clicking the left stick down (don't need to hold) seems to alleviate this issue.

The game isn't using the GPU at all, it seems like it's running a CPU-reliant software renderer or something? My 4,3GHz 2500K doesn't drop frames whatsoever at 1080p, but certain effects (water ripples, backstabs, bonfires) make it drop to all hell if I supersample at a higher resolution.
Maybe I just didn't play enough, my experience was only in the tutorial.

Or CPU really.
Driver issues aside, the game runs great on basically anything at or above minimum requirements.
Yes, they should. Reason why I effin' chose it :|
They've had so many opportunities to fix it, several patches and now the DLC/PC release, and they still haven't fixed it lolol.
It's a funny troll I guess, and doesn't matter in the end. All the gifts can be found in-game.

FUCKING THIS.
It was discovered what the pendant as a starting gift do?
You bet there is. Even without a controller plugged in they use the button prompts
Haha. Damn sounds like a pretty shoddy job.
I find it charming that they are so bad at PC development lol.
Dark Souls 2 should get a much better PC version after the success of this.

Awesome work Durante - top tier effort!
yeah same. its fun to help people and get a little reward, especially in the first days.
I just got to the blacksmith in Undead Parish. The game is a lot of fun so far, though I have had my share of frustrating deaths. Especially against the Taurus. I was ONE HIT away from defeating him once. Next time I went back, he died in about six seconds. I really have no idea where I'm going at all though. I know there's some bells I'm supposed to ring... and I'm a zombie sometimes... yeah ok.
I really wish I could read the little signs left by players (Durante's resolution fix makes them unreadable.) I think it would have saved me a few deaths. I can predict what some of them said after I died. It's also amusing to see bloodstains in the most random places. You'd be amazed at how many blood stains you see right at bonfires.

Nah, don't want the master key myself on the first playthrough.
Get the new version of the fix.
Agreed. I think it's kinda lame for a first playthrough.
That does seem to work, but it's kind of annoying have to click in the stick every once in a while. I would hope they patch it, but rofl.
Only indirectly. You guys need to agree on a place for the sign, preferably a hidden corner so other players don't summon you. Wait for about 10-15 seconds after placing the sign and if it doesn't appear in your friends game, place it again. Repeat until it appears.
As far as I understand, the game "groups" players and each time you lay down the sign, it appears within a different group's game. At least that is what I read once but with this game you never know if it truly works like that.
Don't hit NPCs in this game.
But this particular guy is not that important. He only tells you vaguely what to do at the beginning of the game.
Jump off a cliff

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Run towards the graveyard. You're safe there.
You could try to push him down a cliff or just run away.
Personally, I'd just start over. You can do the tutorial level in 10 minutes. I kinda like the guy's hilarious voice-overs (the laughter!) so I like to have him there.

Kind of jealous of those who get to play this for the first time.
Nope dude. Master Key totaly break the game. With it you can just go before blightown and get sword and shield wich will drive you through half of game.
If someone plays first time DS they should not get master key.
I'd recommend against the master key for the first playthrough. It's kinda cheap.
The Elite
BOSS
I consider it taking every advantage I can get.
That worked
Kicking enemies of cliffs is a pretty valid strategy in this game. Only downside is that you can't get their drops though.
Sometimes if you quit and reload an item will appear for the kill

lol. I remember the first time I tried it I was pretty geared up and thought I would demolish him just to see what item he'd drop. He goes absolutely savage. Here's a spoiler about him if you let him live.
He goes hollow anyways towards the end of the game and attacks you. Which I thought was a much easier fight than challenging him when he was alive.
