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+.
why? what happens if you join the covenant?
Enemies have more health and hit harder (around NG+ levels) and online co-op is disabled.

If looks and sounds are all you think makes a good game you are wrong. Dark Souls is just amazing to "play" although I think it also looks alright.
ive been playing like that, didnt realise!
Nope, it didn't work so I was using Xbox360ce which worked perfectly on Dark Souls 1.
4k downsampled to 1920x1080, the artefacts werent there in game.

Thinking of getting this, I love RPG games like skyrim and loved dragon age, much less 2 than 1 though but the fight mechanics look similar to DA 2 to me.
Loads of technical chat on here, for the benefit of a totally non-techy old gamer addict how is the game to play?

It's hard to accurately explain to be honest as it's one of those that has to be played to fully understand. The combat is slow and requires a bit of thought as opposed to rushing in and hack 'n' slashing your way through a mob. You'll probably find it a bit clunky at first but you'll soon get used to it if you stick at it. The best advice would probably be to watch a few videos on Youtube and maybe pick up either of the two Dark Souls games cheap and give it a go (providing you have a controller to use and KB&M aren't ideal).
might get slated for this, but i played dark souls first, quite a bit, then tried skyrim and hated it. Dark souls combat is quite skilled, pvp wise anyway, skyrim felt basic with zero satisfaction. Workmate played skyrim first, loved it, then tried dark souls, could barely get past the tutorial area and hated it, too hard after playing skyrim. Both games need time i guess as are different to play. Dark souls is definately worth it though.
Pretty cool! Did the first 2 bosses in the first stint. Then got all the way down to the ship wreck area and died after being ambushed by 3 of those weird creatures.
Will play more tomorrow.
First thoughts are good, but it is easier than DS1... I think anyway.

Is the Steam Network down?
Might have something to do with the 75 hours put into Dark Souls
.Which bosses have you done? There are two in the forest in case you missed one

Was DS1 your first game of the series? It was for me, I never played Demon souls although I am looking for a cheap PS3 just to play it. Reason I say that is I struggled in DS1 as it was my first go at the series, took me ages to get good. With DS2 I am rolling and fighting like a pro, but I think that is from the experience I got from DS1. Just a thought

So, I did the giant, and the one on the platform where you raise the rings around him. After that dude, I've done to the tower linked on from that area and down to where the ship wreck area is.
What other boss is in the wood area?
I never played Demon Souls, well that's a lie, I touched on it, but never more than an hour. I have a PS3, should really pick it up. Might even be more online now due to DS2.
