But did you also die like 10 times or more in the part where
you are crossing the bridge where a dragon kills you right after defeating the Taurus demon? I found a path on the right, but there are some enemies there that always kill me.

It's 1200 MSP, so be prepared for $15. Would be nice if it was $10 though.
Or $10 only because of a GameFly pricing mistake, and eligible for their July coupon. I'd jump on that.

So, so true - it's wonderful, powerful, subtle when it needs to be, and fits the game so perfectly. I love it, as I do everything else about Dark Souls...aside from actually playing it!

I don't know if you can, but there's still time to download and try the demos. The complete pack at $3.75 is kind of a steal.

Bah, 25, maybe? I think that's where I bailed too, Rio, with the same thought: 'I suck'.
That's why the Drake Sword exists. It's literally right where you quit. Some say it's "cheating", but it's certainly preferable to stopping playing the game entirely.
It's overpowered for at least 5 hours or so, and then "good" for another 10 maybe, after that.
You can always make a new Steam account, and post a rant here that will get you banned. Don't let that discourage you from acquiring potentially bad games!

Trine 2 is amazing, finished on XBLA. Bought again just for the Goblins expansion, plus Trine 1.
update: apparently to non owners its showing up at full price, however, if you do own it, its possible you can gift the full premium game to a friend for $5. considering the "premium" appears to be sold as the full game and not dlc
What's that (from the name it's probably a shotgun, silly me), and where can I find it?
And yeah, I gotta sit down, start from scratch, take it slow and do my best not to ragequit after dying several times in a row.
At least I'm not the only one, lol. Bad Dark Souls players unite!
It's an overpowered sword you can get by killing the dragon.
That sword, along with the Pyromancer class, is considered probably the easiest way for a first timer to get through Dark Souls.

The Drake Sword? You get it by shooting of the red dragon's tail with arrows. It's a very good sword for the early-mid levels of the game. there are lots of guides to help you get the shooting down, it's not that hard.

How would I go about getting this chest?

You need to be a dwarf and go through one of the darker walls.
Has anybody tested this?

There is a passage to the right. See the missing block in the wall. However you need to be a small character.
The game will often throw chests at you that you can't get on your current run.
You were literally two minutes away from a shortcut leading to the bonfire. There a stairway on the right side of the bridge, it leads to a room with two exits. One will take you straight to the tower with the bonfire (the same one as before), you'll be able to drop a ladder there and bypass the whole section before (and including) the dragon entirely later on.
Kill the dragon? That dragon? Haha, not even in my wildest dreams.
Mmm, I'll have to do it then. Anything that makes the game easier is welcome.

I get it now. Thanks chaps
Still can't make any progress in the forest
I'm starting to notice that now. Like kill all enemies to open a fairy chest when they're behind some sort of wall
Killing the dragon is very much doable later on in the game, but it's really more of a pointless hassle than anything. The fight itself is kinda broken, although not as broken as similar fights in Demon's Souls.

I love the Dark Souls OST. Can't believe Sakuraba worked on it, considering I find his recent Tales of stuff utterly generic and forgettable.
it seems to have worked, i bought for 5 as gift, and sent to my cousin who recieved it and is currently downloading

You could also try to kill that black knight with his back turned to you that you pass when going to the Taurus demon. If you're lucky he drops a nice sword or shield. Good luck though
Welp, thanks to all the whiners about dunderhassan's positive feedback clogging up the thread, he is now shutting down his services.
Sucks, cause he really was doing a great thing for the community. Considering he was beating the prices of all of the primary Russian sellers i know, I doubt he was making much money.

I'm trying to find the Dark Souls OST in flac
I did that, yes. I found that ladder and activated the bonfire. But I kept dying to the enemies that appear right after that.
The one that's guarding some chest? Oh no, I fought him when I first saw him because I thought he was a regular guy, but he kicked my ass so hard I'm still feeling the pain.You could also try to kill that black knight with his back turned to you that you pass when going to the Taurus demon.

I'm reminded I haven't beaten a single boss in Rogue Legacy, imported EDF 2025, have SMTIV and Project X Zone to beat, and just bought Shadowrun Returns in addition to all of the summer sale goods.

That really sucks.
edit: reading his post, it seems like it wasn't really because of the feedback. Seems like he was just tired of doing it.

I miss the steam trading card beta days. McPixel cards go for 0,06 now...
Because of positive feedback?
He couldn't open his own thread? Or only he posts feedback for others, and then gets that number of points.
There were just so many options other than that.

Edit: read the post, that's not the reason http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=72752196
People had issues with him opening his own thread, i posted the same suggestion myself.
He only posts feedback in response to other's positive feedback because he doesn't have the time to keep track of every single person he sells to (who can blame him :/).

Holy crap, I wrote a diatribe on the last Steam Thread (or was it the one before that) about how I have no patience for the game, I officially suck, and was uninstalling it after 3 hours of fighting the
Taurus Demon
and dying over and over. Now I don't feel so bad. I too bought it when it came out. I put 6 hours into it before realizing, neat game...WAY too complicated for me. I'll stick to danmaku shooters for my difficulty.
What? Is this true? I bought from him once, and he seemed to be a great guy. This is truly a shame :/

The cards have went proper stock market-like now. You have predict which games will get cards added next and then try to sell them while they're new for a couple of quid. Crazy.

If nothing else this will slow my buying habits down considerably, at the same time I won't get to play as much. Oh well, great and very friendly guy. Hopefully we see him around the normal forums now!

Finally getting into Dust...man that game is pretty great. Not even an hour in and already got the 1000 hit combo achievement.

Just want to point out that it was not because of the talk about the feedback, actually I've been talking about shutting it down like a hundred times for the past 3-4 months or so.
I already had it in my mind to do a last summer sale and then stop, all this feedback talk just made me finally go through with it now, since I have Google Docs to rely on instead for a while (which is a much simplier system for me).
Even if some people actually genuinely started hating, I wouldn't give a single fuck because you are a fantastic community and all the feedback I've received is worth more than any hate.
don't get the drake sword. it sucks.
just upgrade the claymore. with just a few upgrades it's better and it has better scaling.
also shooting 30 arrows is boring as shit.
I recommend giving Aztaka a try if a 2D sidescrolling diablo-lite loot game sounds appealing to you.
And Reef Shot got some good user reviews too. I like me some Photo games, so I'll grab that. Thanks
While it's a hard pill to swallow Dunder, thanks for everything you've done to help us save. Personally, I've saved quite a bit with your help and couldn't appreciate it more.

Didn't buy a lot from you, but thanks for doing this! You're a great guy, I hope you stick around the forums as a "normal" poster.

I thought Reef Shot looked cool as well. There needs to be more Pokemon Snap kind of games.
Bullet hell shooter is another genre I'll never be able to get into. Impossibly hard, so much respect to you!
I'll give Dark Souls another chance someday. Maybe then it'll click with me.
