hello lads, pray tell, is there any fucking way of comparing armor sold at shops vs the one equipped?
didnt pay attention in the tutorial, but its basically guard with R1 and immediately press R2 once the attack connects, right? Is there any advantage to it vs just parrying with R2?
By Yurtlicious Go To PostNewcomers I cant stress how important the new guard counter is (guard with 2h then press R2)
You can get by without it but its way too good to ignore

Quoted for Yurt.
By Punished Go To PostSomeone go into the Elder Rings thread and tell Yurt I defeated the Fool's Idol, then I jumped back to the Ritual Path and got merked by one of those wizard geezers going down the last corridor to the Old Hero boss.

By pulga Go To Posthello lads, pray tell, is there any fucking way of comparing armor sold at shops vs the one equipped?I was wondering about this too. There's no way you can't do it, right?
By Freewheelin Go To PostI think I just encountered the first main boss, fucked me up good lol
what level are you now brother. I still havent been able to get past him, my online co-op summons suck. Think I'm just going to try fucking him up with the wolves and CPU partner.
By Zabojnik Go To PostI was wondering about this too. There's no way you can't do it, right?
Doesnt look like it, it's stupidly frustrating. Why FROM?
By pulga Go To Postwhat level are you now brother. I still havent been able to get past him, my online co-op summons suck. Think I'm just going to try fucking him up with the wolves and CPU partner.I think I am level 15 or 16? The CPU summon suck balls lol (for that fight at least)
By Freewheelin Go To PostI think I am level 15 or 16? The CPU summon suck balls lol (for that fight at least)for now, the wolves are prob your best bet as far as spirits go
but I couldn't even tell you HOW I got them. Felt like a fever dream
By Smokey Go To PostPlayed another 2 hrs. Leveled up from 9 -> 14. Got Torrent.that's pretty good smokey! I assume Samurai is a Dex class because he uses katanas so try to focus on Dex more

but I couldn't even tell you HOW I got them. Felt like a fever dream
I think I accidentally skipped past a tutorial or something

i think you need to:
go back to the first merchant at the church bonfire right outside the starting zone after getting access to Torrent, a new NPC will be hanging around
By Freewheelin Go To PostI don't even know how to use the spirits lolEquipment, Quick items then scroll doooooooown
I think I accidentally skipped past a tutorial or something
you'll find them in white. They're good for aggro, but don't stand next to them.
By WoodenLung Go To PostDid you check your network
Yes
By DiPro Go To PostWHAT A GAME LADSSince botw?
first good game in 5 years.
By Freewheelin Go To PostI don't even know how to use the spirits lolyou can only use them when theres this white faint tombstone on the left of your UI it seems
I think I accidentally skipped past a tutorial or something
yeah i know it was driving me nuts
By Smokey Go To Postyall got spirit wolves?
theyre a bit OP, theyre trivializing most of the harder encounters so far lol
before i buy this
1. Has a little more effort been put into the narrative? The dark souls equivalent of an open world quest would be some awkward NPC making a vague mention of something in a whispered voice and that's that. Then I suppose there'd be the expectation to keep that in mind while exploring.I'd kind of like a *bit* more juice out of the squeeze if you know what I mean.
2. Any meaningful mechanical changes that evolve beyond Dark Souls besides the mount and traversal additions? Does it play nearly exactly like Dark Souls mechanically? Sekiro's combat evolutions have been superb for example. I would consider Bloodbourne's evolution from Dark Souls to be fairly stark in terms of combat (weapon forms, guns, etc).

From what I heard Miyazaki said "lol I bet GRRM will be surprised we turned his intricate human characters into winged upside down cancerous skull monsters"
I'm paraphrasing

By Freewheelin Go To PostI think I am level 15 or 16? The CPU summon suck balls lol (for that fight at least)
15 is very low. First phase is easy but once he starts getting ridiculously aggressive for an early boss it's hard to deal with his long combo. So you either commit to a very long fight or get rekt. But yeah, there's so much to explore and everything to the south of him is pretty fucking easy as far as Souls games go so go level up a bit. There's a TON to do before you have to go near him :D
The UW stuff just keeps getting dumber and dumber. Turns out if you select your native UW resolution, it will actually render the game at that resolution, but From decided to put black bars on it. So it's not like it's just an oversight, they are actively blocking it off with black bars.
Just started. Fuck me its overwhelming when you exit the cave of knowledge. No idea where to go first. Went to the left and killed those bat things.

For a short while it is defo worth following the golden lines that come out of bonfires, some key items are locked behind a couple of the early ones and are 100% worth going for asap.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postlol
man the game is ridiculously massive. the map just keeps expanding.
that trap chest in the dragon lake ruin sends you somewhere you don't want to be lol

Oh well fuck this because i just did that
By Patriotism Go To Postthat trap chest in the dragon lake ruin sends you somewhere you don't want to be lol
edit and you can’t even travel to a sight of grace FUCK i’m gonna be stuck here forever
It downloaded and I’ve played some more. I can’t get online though despite having an open NAT type. I get a “network status check fail” every time.
Explored a bit though, found a cave full of wolves and magic’d the fuck out of the boss inside it. Carried on up the road, met the Emerald Herald at a grace and got the horse, then rode past a big giant and some guards. Then I realised I wasn’t raised to be a coward so I turned back and killed all the guards and the giant.
Carried on exploring, until I got hit by a cannon? That had me fucked up at first because I couldn’t see where it was firing from. Pushed onwards anyway, killed all the guards until I got to the next boss. Can’t remember the name but I gave it three tries and now I’m calling it a night.
Good game, might be the best open world game since BOTW.

Put 10 hours into this today 😬 Don’t think I’ve done that since I was 14
Two major bosses and a shit ton of mini bosses down. Mostly leaning on a seemingly broken weapon art I picked up from somewhere in Limgrave that pairs v nicely with a 2H longsword.
What a game lads

Does seem like it does actual have like over 100 hours worth of unique stuff in it (as opposed to Ubi copy-paste).
Just fought Margit for the first time, got him to half health. That four hit hammer combo lol fuck me m8
