Seems even worse than DarkS1. I felt the same thing about you not knowing where to go, there were certain times when I felt I couldn't progress and no clue what to do, but eventually I managed, I looked up whereabouts on a few occasions, but blind for the most part. I fought "him" at double health because I too wasn't sure about that soul, but thanks to the restat and a lot of patience and retries, I eventually managed. Surprisingly enough though, I've been having decent luck with a joke build for armor but with my maxed Dark Greatsword, seems I'm decent at laying my hits on people and crushing them quickly. |
ChrisTucker said: I used a melee only semi-quality build on my first character. I ended up using Uchigatana and Murakumo for the most part, so I had way too many points in STR (27) but whatever. I could really have needed those extra 17 points in Vigor, though. Anyway, it wasn't supposed to be a PvP-centric build anyway, even though I stopped at 125 just so I could have the option of getting invaded. Surprisingly enough, I only got invaded by actual players 3 times in 50 hours. But then again, I was hollow for 95% of the time. I thought it was possible to get invaded while hollow?Yeah, I saw the miracle chick use WoG because, well, you know, and it was madness.

Btw, Angel, are you in NG2 or did you start a second character? If so, where in the game are you on that character? I am in |

Haakonwale said: I did a completely blind playthrough and I got stuck a few times wondering where the hell to go next. I feel the game could have done a better job explaining where to go. Even Dark Souls, who's infamous for leaving out any and all hints on where to go, had WAY more information than this. Still a 9/10 game. Haha yeah this screwed me over a bit, it took me WAY to long to figure how to get to huntsmen's corpse Actually what do you guys think about adaptability in general? since an actual level in it is required to get good I-frames on roles, it kinda seems to punish low level runs way too much. On another note, loving the halberds, it's my fav weapon type irl but found it dull as all hell in DkS1, currently using the bitching one you get from Another, 'nother note, the way durability works in this game irks me a bit, in the later levels I'm finding my main weapon breaking/close to breaking by the time I find the boss fog, which I'd be alright with if repair powders weren't so scarce >.> I can only imagine how nasty katanas are in this regard, heard theres a durability ring around though |

Reialgo said: Halberds are really strong. Especially in PvP. The running attack is way OP. I don't know what they were thinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkwNVRHhunE explains really well why it's broken and why I don't like it one bit. Had poise worked, it would probably not been as OP as it is, though. On another note, loving the halberds Reialgo said: Well, the durability rings are really good, especially when you find the +1 or +2 one, so even my Uchi didn't break until I had cleared at least two areas. I had my Murakomo as backup or for when I got invaded, so no biggie. Titanite is plentiful, so you can easily get 2, 3 or even 4 weapons to +10. But yeah, I like the way it was before better. But it makes sense that weapons break easily, since they do that irl.Another, 'nother note, the way durability works in this game irks me a bit, in the later levels I'm finding my main weapon breaking/close to breaking by the time I find the boss fog, which I'd be alright with if repair powders weren't so scarce >.> I can only imagine how nasty katanas are in this regard, heard theres a durability ring around though I am constantly wearing the Ring of Life Protection, though. It only cost 3k souls to repair it, so it's well worth sacrificing one of the ring slots to wear it and not lose your humanity when you die. I don't want Mai Waifu cosplay to become an ugly zombie. :P |

On another note, loving the halberds Well, I'm not really speaking from a pvp perspective, but on the poise note, a high poise player could probably tank at least one hit without breaking and be within it's half damage area, also it's pretty easy to run around most of it's attacks, speaking from my personal opinion right now as I can't check the vid right now. I suppose it's running is op as it stands but I hate to use it in PvE(2handed anyway) since it leaves you really open Good to hear about the durability rings, gotta nab me one of those, also, no idea where of what the ring of life protection is :p |

Reialgo said: Poise is broken in PvP in the most literal meaning of the word. It does not work at all. Even if you are in full Havel's you will get stunlocked by every hit, even by fists. That is why halberd is OP since you are guaranteed to hit with at least one of the spin-to-win attacks and at least one follow up attack if you aim at the player again. Until they fix poise, I will not invade. Only duels in the arena.Well, I'm not really speaking from a pvp perspective, but on the poise note, a high poise player could probably tank at least one hit without breaking and be within it's half damage area, also it's pretty easy to run around most of it's attacks, speaking from my personal opinion right now as I can't check the vid right now.

It's like Ring of Sacrifice from Dark Souls, only you can repair it once it breaks for 3k souls. |

Haakonwale said: Btw, Angel, are you in NG2 or did you start a second character? Which wiki do you recommend to search for gear? the fextralife one sucks dicks and so does IGN's wiki. I myself have been using the Fextralife one and it is very poorly maintained atm, so for the most part I have been just using little tidbits of info from there or if need be checking the GameFAQs boards for certain things they haven't posted on there yet other than that mostly blind. Like Haak posted, that OnlyAfro video sums up the imbalance of PvP atm (saw it earlier), and I feel the Ring of Sacrifice's function is also a double edged sword that coincides with the scarce effigies. I myself probably would've gotten to the end of the game around 40-50 hours, but I had been screwing around a lot especially with 'him', but I got around to beating the final boss a little while after. I'm still on standard NG trying to get as much stuff as I can before I move on, probably get a few more sunlight medals and subsequently a few more scrolls to have a good arsenal, and I only need 1 more hex and 2 more sorceries (through NG+), but then a butt load of miracles and pyromancies, which doesn't help with the Bloods and Crips having such high rank requirements to get certain miracles and pyromancies. P.S. Adaptability is a much more fair stat I'd agree with, seeing how it has some favour with Haak after him being rather suspicious about it being too broken earlier on, seeing how the adjustments are a bit minute but others have found gain with it, it's totally fair, just not one I really care about. |

ChrisTucker said: I'm glad you've realized the power of i-frames. rolling BS is damn near impossible without it considering it's already kinda tricky because of the BS grab move. Also, lagstabs is still a thing, so have fun dealing with that when people learn how to properly utilize lag in this game. Yeah, I was worried it was broken. Not because of Agility, but because Resistance, which is also under Adaptability, was super strong in the network test. Daggers couldn't even dent you. And that would limit the weapon choices for PvP drastically and it would become DeS all over again, where everyone uses the same "strong" build(s). Not saying Dark Souls doesn't have that, but there are a few different builds that are equally strong, so at least you get some variation.Adaptability is a much more fair stat I'd agree with, seeing how it has some favour with Haak after him being rather suspicious about it being too broken earlier on, seeing how the adjustments are a bit minute but others have found gain with it, it's totally fair, just not one I really care about.

| Is anyone here playing Dark Souls 2 on Xbox 360? I would appreciate some good old jolly cooperation! BTW: Praise the Sun! |
| 360 sunbro reporting in! Not even at drangleic castle though :/ |
|
| Neither have I. I'm SL 70 and I just beat the Lost Sinner. I could use some help in my adventure. |
Nagisa33Mar 20, 2014 9:46 PM
| You're on 360, Reialgo? :( Oh well. At least Nagisa has some Über-friends to play with, too. I just started a "second" character (after having deleted my "second" character 6 times already) and was hoping to play with Angels, but timezones are a hassle. |
|
| Aye it was a case of "If I dont buy the 360 version I wont have any irl friends to play with" I might pick up the pc version later down the road though so theres that option later~ Also nagisa I think my main is to far ahead to actually help out, since I AM in the drangleic castle now :p I do plan on multiple characters though Oh yeah DkS2 crushed my soul earlier, spent the better part of an hour grinding for alonne captian knight armour, then when I headed back to the stuttering merchant he was suddenly selling alva armour, which is even cooler, way to waste an hour or two. Now I'm wearing neither since |

| Has anyone played Resident Evil Revelations? It's a bit difficult to trust the series again, but I've been hearing good stuff, and might buy it for the 3DS (for 15 euro). Also is Ocarina of Time 3D worth it? I've never played OoT properly, and I guess the 3DS version looks in any way better than the N64 version, so not sure why I'm even asking this haha. And I guess it's easier to just buy the 3DS remake than chase N64 cartridges on internet where it sells instantly. I'm also looking at Kid Icarus Uprising. Is that one supposed to be good? |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Kid Icarus Rising has REALLY uncomfortable controls, the game even gives you a stand to hold your 3DS and it's really strange to maneuver. Still pretty fun but the difficulty spikes are a little extreme if I recall. |
| The OoT remake is decent if you want to play with the 3D off. Sometimes it's a bit disorienting, and they have a default setting where you have to shift the 3DS itself around to shoot arrows/slingshot/etc, and that's even worse since you have to attempt to stiff neck the entire ordeal in order to keep your gaze straight ahead as to not mess up the 3D, so I ended up turning that feature off too. I would honestly recommend chasing down the gamecube edition and just play it on the wii instead. Also, everything squirrel said about Icarus is correct. |
 |
| Yeah it's still way cheaper buying Ocarina of Time 3D than buying a GameCube/Wii + Ocarina of Time GC edition haha. Unless I just emulated it (if it works). So the only major issue with Ocarina of Time is that aiming part (which is probably used every few minutes)? That control part is the only thing that worried me. I don't mind tough control if it's possible to get used to it and make it comfortable eventually. But if it's going to be uncomfortable even after beating the game, I'll just skip it. Resident Evil Revelation would probably be a better buy in that case. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| There is also the Wind Waker special edition which comes with OoT + Master Quest, though I guess chances are most would prefer to play Wind Waker Wii U version these days. It's still a good deal, I think. |
| I tried Resident Evil Revelations for the PC. I've only finished Episode 1, but so far it's waaay better than Resi 5 and 6 (like that's difficult). Good thing is that they added both Classic and Shooter controls (aka Stop and Shoot and Walk and Shoot). The game does seem to have potential to be creepy, and setting up a creepy atmosphere might help it more. I think that people who love Resi 4 would enjoy this. The only problem I have so far is that I suck at aiming, because I barely play shooters. When I set the mouse sensitivity on 5, the aim moves too fast. When I set the mouse sensitivity on 4, it moves too slow! |

Revelations is what RE5 and RE6 should had been, they even pull off the mix of action and survival horror better than RE4 did by using multiple protagonists in different settings and periods of time, The way they made it was so jill who is the main crutch of the game is still stuck with low ammo and overwhelming odds at all times but the game gives you can occasional run and gun level with other characters like chris giving you tons of ammo and enemies allowing the game to throw you a shit ton of ammunation without screwing over survival horror sections by leaving you with too much. You get an eerie and classic feeling survival horror with the keyword being SURVIVAL and keeps that the whole game. thank christ the team that made revelations is making RE7 |

| Has anyone here picked up/interested in J-stars victory versus? I've been playing it on the vita for the past week and loving it, it's the first time since DBZ tenkaichi 3 that I've actually enjoyed a 3D animu brawler, animations are really well done and satisfying while theres a gameplay for each character, as I don't think theres any clone types. I've enjoyed it so much I'm tempted to buy the ps3 version because it looks so nice there, no cross play though >.> Combat can feel a little sluggish at first untill you get used to it, only certain specials can be used at certain times in a combo, but it all looks great and the 2v2 setup is really fun, definitely worth a pick up if you want some fun animu service was good gameplay |

Also wish some other staple characters like Train, Taikobo, Yoh and even Rikuo got in, but hey, still got Kenshin, Kenshiro, Bobobo and such. |
| There are definitely missed opportunities character wise(no god damned dio being a major irritation) but all the guys that are in are real fun, it's cool to play aizen who actually kicks ass rather than babbles about illusions. I haven't got all the characters and haven't gone online so I'm not too sure, but I know vegeta's big bang is too stronk. Also Luffy just seems all around stronk, he can do a tone of damage in gear second and haki modes with good range and speed, but hey it's not a competitive fighter ;) The game's music is also awesome |
|
| I hope it can be patched to be somewhat competitive. JUS was taken somewhat seriously, and all the different gimmicks for each character could make things interesting. I feel there still are a few questionable choices with who got in and who didn't (glad Jonathan and Joseph got to be reps this time thank god, but does anyone really know about that Taro guy and do people like Luckyman? His design in the very least...urgh). |
| So if I read it right, EA is planning on going full digital. No physical release for their games anymore. Stupid move? Or will the sales remain the same? |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
mugi said: Luckily EA doesn't release many games I could care for but if more companies follow, then I'll just stop caring for video games sooner or later. Somewhat agree with this, hard to imagine myself going cold turkey on gaming anytime soon though, but yeah, I'm a physical media guy. |
| What's your favorite opening level, intro, scene, sequence, or prologue in a game? Something that brings you into the story, setting, mood, or experience. For me it's the opening scene from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bRyzkoJwo4 |
| I have so many games to play on Steam, but I was playing Fire Emblem 6 and Mega Man 3 tonight instead. I don't know why I keep playing such old games. I've also been playing an arcade D&D beat 'em up and a few other old arcade games. Does anyone else like beat 'em ups or shoot 'em ups? I play a lot of them haha. |
| I've finished The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds last night. The whole run lasted 9:36 hours, only 2 deaths (the very start of the game and last boss). It was really really easy, no challenge at all. The puzzles were awesome though. Hopefully Hero Mode ends up better since you take double damage. |

| I finally beat Mass Effect 3 today. It's weird 'cause I beat the first two within the first two weeks of their respective releases, but I was so slow with number three. I suppose I just didn't want it to be over. I ended up really liking the ending. Am I the only one who did? |
