I liked the fight with Quelaag and I hated Souls fans going on and on and on and on about the difficulty when most of it is really just common sense and Pyro spells with only 3 cheap bits. Also, the inability to pause the game, I hated that too.

Loved it and then I got stuck and I haven't played it in months. I keep thinking I should pick it back up again but I have to muster the motivation.
A shittier input method is the mouse and keyboard setup. Seriously, using a keyboard for navigation in anything other than an RTS is like trying to play twister with your fingers. And for those who say that you can just hook up a 360 pad and use that, well that's basically just an admission that they agree.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Probably should wait for the pc version, it comes with a pretty big and free dlc pack the they made specifically for porting it. Console players like me will have to pay seperately.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
It's my favorite game currently. It, along with the Binding of Isaac, are the only games that I have been addicted to in recent time.
SmashLoves, both options sound good. Obviously I don't know how well the PC port will be (I can only hope it will be just as good, I might buy it just to help the developers a little more). A high-end PC is definitely a good investment.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:
Sure, but a good PC is better in the long run. Stop trying to argue your "console > PC Mantra" cause it's not going to work. You already lost a lot of credibility with your "real gamer" spiel.WhyWasThat said:
Well for the time I had it I loved most of it. However like many have said here the pvp is almost inherently broken. In the sewer area before Blighttown I had 2 pvp encounters in near succession. I won the first but there was nearly no hope for the second one. His gear was about 5 times better than mine, I only did about a 1/6 of my normal damage to him while he did a couple hundred each hit on me and his spear was electric. Obviously I died there.
Then after getting to Blighttown I noticed how it looked a lot like world 5 from Demons's Souls which gave me some hope in using a item to become full human again. Since both of them were basically nothing but death pits and cheapness players normally respected each enough not to try pulling any BS and just let each other go through it without harassing them. That was in Demon's Souls. This same courtesy was not found in the Dark Souls players who tried invading me there. At that point I said screw it I'm out and stopped playing.
Will I get the PC version when it comes out? Well...at their current rate of details I might later down the line when mods come and fix stuff but for now not at launch.

Really? I don't know what kind of build you have, but the lightning spear from the mimic in that same level will help a lot, and Iron Tarkus is a great NPC summon. His soul sign is in a tower next to the boss entry rather than right by it. Try that and I guarantee you'll have a much better time.kman123 said:
OT: What I love is that each weapon, even those in the same class, all play slightly different. Once you find the weapon that compliments your play style, everything clicks you're buds for life. I heard the developers wanted people to develop a bond with their weapon of choice, and damn they succeeded with me.
Estocs are for champs.
If you prefer to play games on a PC, then I would highly recommend waiting until the Prepare to Die Edition comes out. It has a lot of additional content with it, that us console players are going to have to wait for. Although I can't be sure just how it'll play with a mouse and keyboard. But that might just be because I'm not used to playing much of anything other than an MMO on PC. Unless you plan to hook up a controller, which then I'd say wait for the PC version indefinitely. xPSmashLovesTitanQuest said:
That was a joke btw lolSp3ratus said:I don't think misogynrbstewart7263 said:means, what you think it means.
Anyway, I loved it, just as I loved Demon's Souls before it. Boss fights, the world, which felt a lot bigger this time around, not in the least because of a seamless, non-sectioned world, the combat, not much difference from Demon's Souls, but it's great as is, so why change it, the atmosphere, everything felt right and just plain awesome.
As for things I disliked, I'll have to say the online pvp part. The base game itself feels fair, even if it's frustrating at times, but the pvp is just messed up. Sure, there are a lot of OP builds, which can be annoying, but what really makes me dislike it, are all the lagstabbing going on. I've experienced several times to be face to face with an opponent, only to be backstabbed by that very same opponent the next second, completely out of nowhere. It felt really random and a lot worse than pvp in Demon's Souls.
I've completed the games 2 times so far and I'm pretty close to beating it the third time. The fourth will be the time I get my platinum trophy. The only other game I've done that with, is Demon's Souls.
I love the game as much as anyone, the combat, the world etc. Unfortunately I suck so even though I like it I really can't bring myself to play it. I'm one of those people who throws controllers across the room when they lose a lot. I'd be buying a new controller every week if I continued playing this game.
i totally agree with you, no matter how good the games are paying too much money for hardware got us into this mess where big publishers think they can charge whatever they want as long as they keep chopping up games and selling them in pieces, because we love games and playing new ones RIGHT NOW oh so muchSmashLovesTitanQuest said:
you could however try to find a used one in good shape, just have to be lucky, i got mine a year for 170? off some guy who really needed the money to pay rent. i still have yet to buy a game new and at full price, 60? is waaaay to much for game that will drop to 35? that within 4 month.
oh and to answer your original question: wait for the PC version and see if they get the controls right for m&k.
Your on the money with this. Pretty much 1 of my 2 gripes with a game I absolutely adore. The combat becomes stale and boring. Even though there are so many moves you can perform with your weapon, all that is required is basically hold block and attack when you can. Yes, actually using your moveset effectively will clear enemies faster - but whats the point? It's too risky for a proper run and you can run past enemies in a speed run.Zhukov said:
Secondly, weapons become too overpowered. Or, dare I say, you are required to upgrade your weapons in order to progress. You dont need levels in anything, just an upgraded weapon. Its ridiculous. I hope the next game takes a leaf out of The Witcher 2's book and forces you to use everything at your disposal to win fights, rather than have a weapon that can destroy the anyone in a couple of swings.
A tertiary point: my favorite fight in the game was with Oscar of Astora. It was a fight that required me to put everything I had learnt previously too good use and he was a mere hallow - not some gigantic 15 story boss whose fire farts destoy the motherfucking planet... More human to human fights would be better.
I love the game, but I cant bring myself to play it anymore. These things really bother me, as well as the completely broken PvP.
Basically, this. But with Anor Londo as another breathtaking moment.WhyWasThat said:
Oooooooohhhhh yes. I literally cannot pass them without another player as a meat shield. I've got the hitpoints and the shield strength to block both, but not if they're firing from opposite directions at the same time.Witty Name Here said:
One of my favorite memories of Dark Souls is when I was invaded in the Catacombs. I was at the second Bonfire near the spiked bridges when I suddenly had the message that I was being invaded. I ran out of the bonfire cave and climbed the nearby ladder and saw someone's phantom in the distance emerging from the Catacombs entrance and heading straight for me. I saw that they were aiming to roll onto the lower bridge which then gave me the idea to pull the lever that spins it round. Just as I did so he landed and was promptly flung into the depths of the cavern. It was as funny as the time when the Hydra in Ashlake suicided whilst making love to the tree you past on the way to the dragon covenant.
Play it asap, if you are only borrowing it from a friend what do you have to lose? By the time the PC version comes out, you will be so knowledgeable about the game that you will be able to plan and build a kickass character for the PC version. Your first character will be fairly trash compared to later ones you make so don't worry about losing it when your friend wants the game back, consider it a training runSmashLovesTitanQuest said:
