Dark Souls 2 - Thread

So im confused, i though they had announced this. I tweeted namco with concerns of making us rebuy the game

So god knows, tbh i bet they dont have a clue what they are doing. They didnt have answers for me about the guide in the uk at launch, was odd.

So obviously i replied with a semi sarcastic view like, thats good then its getting patched in for free?

petition? surely not needed then? maybe namco have seen the annoyed fans and are changing the role out!

to be fair as a package its priced really well compared to other re-releases, but still shouldnt have to pay for it imo

Bell Tower is crazy tonight, being summoned to defend every 5 seconds and that is no lie. Soon as I get back to my own game I am invading right away for the past 45 mins.

Does not make sense does it? I am still invading over and over, never had it like this before normally I would invade or be invaded every 30 mins or so. Tonight is just crazy, not complaining as it is great fun. But the Bell Tower is insane right now, different people the ring is invading as well each time.

My son was on the xbox 360 version all day and he said it was dead, no summon signs and no invading at all. Seems the network side is pretty messed up I reckon.

You can understand games not working on different hardware setups etc but I don't really understand network sides if the right ports are open on each router, DS2 ports I think should be open by default, never looked into it. But I have never ever had this amount of action at all.

I was invaded 4 times in belfry Luna yesterday bwfore I just went ahead to Sinners Rise anyway. I went back today and disconnected beforehand.

Been summoned loads of times. For the Demon of Song you couldn't move for signs. For the Smelter Demon I was being summoned practically the second I put the sign down.

Also I have had a fair few just random invasions which I have never really had before tbh. I was invaded twice whilst going through Harvest Valley earlier.

I do enjoy the online aspects of the game, but sometimes it is just a bit forced and gets in the way.
 
Anyone recommend when to play each dlc? I am thinking of just after Undead Crypt... But I hear you need the ashen mist heart for something in one of them? I would like to do each dlc in one go if possible and not return to them.

Cheers. (can't really find much info about it tbh)

No option as DX9 saves are not compatible with the DX11 edition so its start again from scratch time for everyone :(

I suspect this is artificial & From have done this on purpose to ensure its a justification of playing the entire DX11 edition game again :rolleyes:

Problem this game is not as good as Demon Souls or Dark Souls for multi-time walktroughs.:(
Really sad info

Well I think its still a superb game especially compared to other recent PC games. The real issue to me is not even the DX11 release you have to buy but not being able to export DX9 saves to DX11 means putting in well over 100 hours again if you want to get anywhere without cheating offline only!
 
I got this game recently. Not too far in, killed a few bosses etc.

Really enjoying it now I'm getting the hang of it (several hours fighting the Pursuer taught me that...). It's nice to play a game with some genuine challenge, and the mechanics I find really solid. I just wish I had more time to play now than I do :(

Yes,I agree with you mate,compare to other titles, but DS2 vs two previous parts there's something missing.
Demon's Souls for me is the best one(maybe cos it was such a new experience)
 
Anyone know of a cheap place to get the DLC for this? I got this game on a russian cd key site through a free trial VPN thingy but have forgotten how to set this up.

Also I've just got the king's seal. Would this be a good time to start the DLC as I think I'm near the end.
 
OMG if you liked the challenge of DS2 and though it was enough then do not get the DLCs, the content is super hard with bosses that will make you want to smash the controller.

I am so stressed now it's crazy. I though the DLC from DS was excellent but this time they over did the difficulty. I have 2 end bosses left and some optional ones but I am so stressed that I think I will never touch DLC for DS2 ever again.

You've probably worked this out already, but 2 of the DLCs are best left until you have the Ashen Mist Heart as they feature memories you need to enter.

I thought the dlc was generally good, but a bit ott... And some of the areas and bosses are pretty poor(Sinh is awful design!)
