Hello bottemless abyss!
I wonder if I still have time to preorder it. The Black Armor Edition is really attractive. awdood;

do it
maybe
how are you liking it so far
how does it compare to the original dark souls
quite a bit. Its very similar in structure of course, and I love that fast travel is available from the start, which makes exploring new areas a little less stressful.
i cant be sure, but the animations in combat seem to take longer to be able to swing and then block, leaving you open, but that could just be the class i picked (warrior).
they also seem to have brought back a number of features from Demons. such as when your undead, your life is cut by a certain percentage, and you have healing items again, though you still have the estus flask
Im havng a blast with it though
cant go wrong with more souls!
just preordered lol
now to do nothing but sit on it until gamers braver than i have meticulously combed through its every nook and cranny
woo gotta finish DS first.
I like how people are already thinking the game is crap because of the review embargo.
but who really cares
i do
[spoiler]

it's actually two points higher than demon's souls and dark souls atm giggle;
and even its userscore is better than its predecessors'[/spoiler]

but who really cares
apparently those saying it do
So, After reading a coupe reviews, it sounds like there are a few new nuances to combat, such as rolling not granting as long of invulnerability as it did before.
Man this game did a lot better than i thought it would though.
Thats good
likewise
i honestly expected it to be at least a few points below the previous two, especially since miyazaki's role in development was greatly reduced
but instead, reviewers seem to like it slightly more
[spoiler]
i still have my fair share of concerns, but the overwhelmingly positive reception has mollified them somewhat[/spoiler]
anyway just picked it up lol

So, apparently leveling works much as it did in demons.
Talking to a certain someone
I'm really liking DaS2, it has a really good feel to it. I'm digging how everything looks too. Those huge ogre things at the beginning certainly are terrifying. I am having a hard time picking which covenant I want to be in though lol

I was hoping they were still going to be found in the game, but I guess people wanted the community weapons early or something

[spoiler] why the fuck is ornstein back? Oh well. At least hes alone this time. [/spoiler]
so this whole enemy extinction thing. normal enemies can be killed permanently. most people are saying it seems to take 15 kills to make an enemy stop respawning forever.
pros:
-less enemies in your way if you're having to do the same area over and over
cons:
-soul farming obviously limited
-if you miss a rare drop and you've killed all the enemies that drop it permanently, you're boned. you'll have to try again in NG+.
in terms of difficulty, it's a double-edged sword. obviously you'll be farming less souls and less effigies so eventually becoming stuck at 50% health with no more effigies to farm in an area is a very real possibility, making boss strategy that much more important. at the same time though, your path to the boss will obviously be much easier.
i mostly dislike this system, largely for the issue of missing rare drops, but i guess i can see why From might have thought it was a good idea.
the permadeath of enemies is the one element that had me most worried about das2, precisely because farming, either for souls, or revival items, or ore, is sometimes crucial to making any real progress in these games
i feel like the path to a boss is almost never as much of a problem as bosses themselves are, or at least that was the case in dark souls, and i don't think it's ever once taken even me of all people 15+ attempts to get to the area boss in either demon's or dark souls (and anyone having so much trouble en route to the boss would likely have an absolutely miserable time with the boss itself), so i really don't think this decision was primarily made to moderate the game's difficulty at all
it seems like this new aspect exists purely to limit farming
how very spiteful of from software
in any case, until i've played it myself, i will assume that the overwhelmingly positive fan and media reception to the game indicates that it isn't an issue that ever really becomes insurmountable or overly frustrating
that being said, there is a rare consumable item in game that can be burned at bonfires to resurrect area enemies, though at a difficulty level one step above your current playthrough
i'd really rather not have to rely on a rare consumable for that, though
i like having the assurance that even in times of great hardship, i can always resort to farming until i'm better prepared for confrontation
though i suppose it's that very sense of security that from was looking to eliminate
you can always farm the bosses by being summoned in another game, so it isn't a huge problem.
the soul problem can be circumvented that way, but there are likely to be plenty of other necessary consumables i'll find myself without easy access to once the enemies within an area are extinct myface;
but w/e i'll see how it goes once i'm playing it myself
I dont mind it at all. Probably because I dont delve that deep into the souls games systems.
So i have no complaints about it.
For someone like me, it will go like, man i died a lot on that boss, it will be annoying to get back to it....
Oh wait enemies are gone! Sweet! Time to die on the boss again!
Also, i dont know if this is related to help with alleviating the fact that enemies can die for good.....
But you can eventually respec your characters stats.
So thats something.
Its funny, i guess im not cut out to be a game reviewer... i like games too much.

Soul vessel, found in the mansion in Majula
Oh
i haven't really played the game all that much yet, haven't even gotten to the first boss, but one thing i will say is that, for better or worse, DaSII is more "video gamey" than the previous two Souls games
in that the presentation is more standardized, from the redone menus to the sound effects
i think that generally the menu system is more user-friendly now (without some giant list to sift through, and without always having to press square to get stats for equipment), but i can't help but feel as if it's not as visually appealing lol
but oh man the animations and such are all just so much nicer and more fluid, though this is partly because you're a billion times slower lol
minor things
I dont really see it as " a billion times slower" but there is a slight decrease in animation recovery, but notthat much.
And im still not sjre what you mean by " video gamey" when you mention sfx especially. They sound pretty much the same to me
And as for the menus, those are gamey by nature lol
Basically, what im saying, is that if you feel the need to complain about the menus, then the game must be pretty damn good.
Not that im saying you cant mention things that bother you of course. I just dont see the problems, but i dont really have that "critical eye"
kaz is obviously making good use of his Ring of the Critical Eye
i mentioned them because i noticed them and because this is a thread where i can post things about this video game lol
i'm not "complaining" per se, just posting what i thought as i was playing
and also it's not just "animation recovery" - one of the biggest speed changes is that your shield draw speed is actually significantly slower than dark souls. but there is a method behind this madness. the new agility stat thingy effects that and other things. the dark souls 2 wikidot has confirmed that with the corresponding stat at 21, shield draw speed is still slower than dark souls, but significantly improved over starting stats

I'm very near to the end at this point.

Another one pops into the fight every time you take one down to half health. You always have to fight two at once, so it's best not to divide your attention and kill one ASAP as soon as a third one enters the fight.
It's a fight that can be pretty frustrating until near endgame when you can actually damage them fast enough to keep things under control/
i'm going in deprived

assuming the relationship between stats and weaponry is about the same as it was in the original, i'll probably focus primarily on dexterity
though since pyromancy scales with intelligence and faith now i guess i'll have to take those into consideration as well :'(

I did a dex build.
I don't recommend it. It's nowhere near as fun as it used to be.
Well that's a shame. :(
I think my DeS build was like dex str and Vit which was a lot of fun.

Pretty sure it is.
Anyway, i got the first dlc, but prob wont play it for quite a while.
Have to get there first
you shouldn't buy season passes to begin with imo goonish
i don't see why not, it's nothing but savings if one plans to purchase all of the dlc releases anyway goonish
Yeah
I didnt buy season pass anyway. Just bought first part.
Though supposedly if you get all three, as they are all linked, a larger secret happens
my brother ended up purchasing it anyway so w/e lol

the secret is kinda weak
So I was playing Dark Souls with Kaz co-op, and we got invaded.
But then suddenly, he disconnected. shortly thereafter, I got a message from my invader. He said "play offline." I thought it was weird, but I sent a message back saying, "no." Then I got one back that said "or die."
That made me laugh, so I sent a message back that said, "Come at me bro." It made my night.
You memed on him too hard.
seven and a half hours of playtime later and i've still only beaten the last giant and the dragonrider akudood;
and the latter only because he thrusted himself off the arena to his death lol
pursuer is a bastard
on another note, the load times in this game are unreasonably long awdood;
did you use all the switches to make the dragonrider's arena bigger
imo go fight the dragonslayer next in the chapel across from the tower dragonrider was in
i didn't even realize there was a switch lol sillydood;
and i guess i'll try that next
also fml i already screwed up pate's quest line and missed out on his equipment set by not summoning him for the last giant

now level 75 sillydood;
adp's importance is a bit exaggerated. while i don't ignore it, i've put more into dex, vgr, and vit. and i've been doing fine.
also yeah you level up way faster.especially for like levels 1-70, you blaze through them with boss soul drops alone. i'm level 99 and like 70% done (i think) with the main game.
is dex once again the more valuable offensive stat than str
Quote from: Tectron on November 09, 2014, 11:34:16 PM
is dex once again the more valuable offensive stat than str
i dunno. it's just suited to the types of weapons i prefer and therefore it's what i go with.
but apparently there's a type of buff in this game that makes it so pretty much any weapon can overcome its bad scaling in one stat or another. idk how it works though cause i haven't looked into it cause i don't really care lol

adp's importance is a bit exaggerated. while i don't ignore it, i've put more into dex, vgr, and vit. and i've been doing fine.
it may be exaggerated, but it is still important. it makes everything you do, drinking estus, rolling, raising shield...... (dying, lol) faster.
I'd suggest getting adp to at least 20. it also helps with your various resistances

maybe...maybe not. This far into the game, you should be more or less fine
finished main game
how'd you like it compared to the other two games
other two are definitely better. i don't really like how they overloaded thsi one with tons of bosses but then made so many of the bosses kind of throwaway and pointless, like the covetous demon you just fought. the lore is also less interesting and less fleshed out (not that it's super fleshed out in the previous games lol). atmosphere took a bit of a hit too.
it's a great game, just less inspired and interesting. some improvements are definitely there though, like an infinitely better menu system and more equip slots.
that seems to be the general consensus
but i've also heard that the dlc makes up for the weaknesses of the base game somewhat, hopefully that does turn out to be the case

well I can't really find out right now lol. I'll tell you once I'm back home and i finish the last dlc.
BTW the weird ai is extremely obvious if you stand in the doorway leading out to the open area with the drawbridge leading to the smelter demon, and from there shoot an arrow at the knight standing on the drawbridge. This consistently caused his ai to go nuts for me, most often resulting in him continually running against a wall. Also once he just sprinted straight off the bridge into the lava

so what are you thinking about the game so far?
as for me, I've told kaz that I thought this was the best one gameplay-wise. like, the gameplay package itself.
the story and environments are better in the other two though
i would enjoy it more if i weren't constantly worried about my ever-increasing soul memory lol
but so far i have no other real complaints, and i think i'm still early enough that i haven't really had a chance to notice that the environments are consistently less impressive or that the story is somehow even less coherent
but worry not, my opinionated snobbery will shine through soon enough

well the story is always incoherent, but some think that the lore is less interesting, which I don't fully agree with.
and I still think the game has a great ambiance, but it's not as "unsettling" as the first two were, save for a few areas.

i lol'd at the rat vanguard
i mean why
yeah it's pointless. that's one of the worst offenders of this game having some utterly pointless boss fights pretty much just as filler
yeah for them to even have the audacity to call that a boss is absurd
anyway, killed the rotten (and managed to cut his arm off and get that extra lockstone on the very last hit :3)

royal rat authority dead
fuck; those toxic mini rats in his arena
yeah they're the only reason that fight's challenging, it's like capra demon 2.0. after many strategies, i finally settled on trying to use flame swath on the little rats when they group together. killed them all at once.
anyway i just finished crown of the iron king so i'm done with all the dlc which also means i'm pretty much done with my first playthrough of this game
i just pelted them with fire arrows lol

nice. that is pretty much the safest method. i didn't bother on my playthrough, nor did i do darklurker yet, but i may do both when i come back to the game at some point, before starting ng+.

i can't help but wonder why
ds1 just seems to have a much better balance of enemy/boss difficulty, and its overworld is more alluring, and at does a better job at incentivizing exploration without ever being tedious, and its pacing feels more consistent, and between the two games 1's storytelling is better (which is almost unfathomable considering that ds1's storytelling is probably its weakest point lol)
plus there's no soul memory to worry about, and if one's ever truly stuck or in dire need of a particular item they can freely farm without ever having to worry about enemy extinction
not to mention that the most useful upgrade materials are for the most part easier to come by in ds1, and i think its weapon upgrading mechanics in general are easier to get a grasp of than ds2's lol

disagree'd on both counts
mechanically and gameplay-wise, dark souls bests demon's in virtually every way
not to mention that it's easier (mostly due to simply better design) and thus better as a beginner's entry into the souls series
if anything, i'd argue that demon's should be played last lol (and actually i think i will go back and play demon's again after i'm done with ds2)

PLease attempt the boss at the start of the 3rd dlc while hes invisible
by chance, i took a right from the bonfire instead of first going left to the boss room and ended up with the eye of the priestess before i even knew what it did lol
only after fighting the boss and seeing the numerous "item required ahead" messages did i look up what its purpose is
anyway, aava was p. easy

But I ended up taking it down to half it's health. It was a proud moment for me

yep, absolute horseshit
let's make this area completely unnavigable with a blizzard that obscures vision beyond a two foot radius, and then spam the player with an endless barrage of powerful and completely inescapable enemies, two at a time, each of which can kill in two hits, and then we'll throw in some random low-level hollow so that the player accidentally targets them instead while dodging and ends up getting spammed and rammed from behind !!
managed to beat them back?? now you're completely disoriented and have to wait another five minutes for the storm to let up for ten seconds before you can get back on track, in which time another duo of enemies will spawn !!
a+ from shitware impeccable game design
(frigid outskirts is optional and unrelated to finishing that dlc)
(i know)
((doesn't really excuse terrible game design))

you guys should take a look at the patch notes for the scholar of the first sin update
http://bandainamcous.tumblr.com/post/108136899811/attention-dark-souls-ii-fans-a-free-update-will
highlights include:
Quote
- Added new character, The Scholar of the First Sin.
- Choosing to enter the Covenant of Champions will now allow enemies to continue to respawn after being defeated.
- Players will gain access to a new item: The Agape Ring. When players equip the new Agape Ring, souls collected from kills during online play will be absorbed by the ring rather than the player. This allows players to control their online matchmaking experience by limiting their total souls collected.
- White phantoms will no longer return to their world if time runs out during a boss battle.
- Made it easier for players to match online in general.
- Calibrations no longer saved each time before the title screen.
- Host vanquishes invading grey spirit (Bell Keeper): (1 of the following) Titanite Chunk, Titanite Slab, Twinkling Titanite, Petrified Dragon Bone.
it's going to be a very different experience the second time around lol
i will greatly appreciate no longer being restricted by soul memory limitations and the previously insurmountable scarcity of twinkling titanite

update was rolled out yesterday, and with it some p. massive changes lol

that's why you only swing once at a chest. one hit is never enough to break a chest, but it's enough to reveal a mimic.
unless you're using some gigantic weapon maybe idk

I think it looks fine???
ok but there's repeating textures on tons of surfaces and the aesthetic design for half the levels seems to be "someone puked green sludge all over the walls" (and not just the black gulch where that actually happened). the graphics are, of course, objectively superior to demon's and dark's graphics, but where those games covered the ugly stuff up with strategic darkness, this game lays it all bare for some reason
It's because you're playing the PS4 version. Wait, you are playing that version right??
But yeah on the PS3, the game was darker. For some reason they cranked up the brightness on the PS4 version so now you can see all the ugly textures. I noticed it right away the first time I saw it played, during the first boss.
They messed with all of the lighting
Brighter places are brighter
Darker places are darker.
oh...
sinh was such an annoying piece of shit boss, maybe the most annoying boss in the game so far. and i say this even after just fighting elana and the 3 npc shitters
