Dark Souls 2 - Thread

hehe played about 10 hrs so far and only have my first bit of pvp, was pulled in to someone else's world then proceeded to chase them around the place for a couple of minutes, they just kept on running away
 
Anyone feel the controller analogue stick for moving (not camera) isn't sensitive enough? I just compared it to ds1 and it's changed. While moving forward, slightly move left or right has no effect... Then my character feels like he moves like a tank a bit.

Definitely not right, but no sensitivity option in the settings.
 
Wow this is awesome actually, so pleased It's pretty much everything I hoped for so far. Only gripe so far is its nowhere near as brutal as the first one. And why is it I have 20 arrows in my inventory but with the bow equipped I can't shoot any arrows.

I really noticed that at first too and it really bugged me. Just give it time and you'll eventually forget about it if you stop focusing on it. It's something you just have to get used to.
 
can anyone take a quick pls, these are the default settings for the durante mod for the downsampling

# Graphics settings

# The actual rendering resolution you want to use,
# and how many Hz you want the game to think it works at.
#renderWidth 5120
#renderHeight 2880
renderWidth 3840
renderHeight 2160
#renderWidth 3200
#renderHeight 1800
reportedHz 60

# The resolution you want to downsample *to*.
# Should generally always be your output device pixel size and frequency.
# Writing something not supported by the display here will probably cause a crash.
#presentWidth 2560
#presentHeight 1440
presentWidth 1920
presentHeight 1080
presentHz 60

Are these correct, I dont really understand why there are many duplicate lines, basically I wanto to use the highest res possible downsampled to my screen res of 1920x1080, can anyone help me please?

Ok so it's not just me then, phew!

I played on the PS3 for a few hours on launch and don't recall it being an issue. Just booted it up on the PS3 and it's there too... Although don't feel as bad.

I think the main reason I notice it is cos when I played on the PS3 I hadn't played dark souls for ages, but I've been playing dark souls 1 all over again recently, so I've literally gone straight from 1 to 2. The first controls soo much better, strange

the # comments out a line so it's just there as an example. The render width and height should be 2x the present width and height so looks fine

Really impressed with the technical performance. Haven't had even a slightest hiccup in performance anywhere, and the game looks really decent for a last gen title too.

From the bonfire in Majula turn around to face the way back to the starting area and there should be a path to the left which will take you to the Forest of Fallen Giants.

Do not join the covenant unless you want to basically be in NG+ :p.
 
First impressions not so good - I think the game looks average on Max and the sounds are awful. Will sleep on it and try again in the morning maybe I still have the bad work vibes clouding my judgement.
