Prepare to Die. A lot.

Haha!

I'm as prepared as I'll ever be, will probably be back later crying for help!

Not 100% sure on all of the fixes I'll need but I've got a couple of links to checkout once game is downloaded. Is the internal res fix the only critical one?

Tibbz2 · 29 Aug 2012 at 17:02

Yes the only thing i'm using is the res fix, other things are fine! Just remember to turn OFF the in game AA when you use this

Yeah thanks, will do. I'd better go and dose up on valium whilst game is downloading! godhelpme.jpg.

I should think it has, and has certainly covered all porting costs (were there any!? ) already. Nearly 10,000 people playing on just steam at the same time, taking into account the people who have retail/just GFWL who haven't activated steam and time zones for others playing etc. there must have been a good 60k+ sold so far!

Can't wait for their next game!

I would activate mine on Steam but that would require me to download it wouldn't it? My retail is installed elsewhere of course. Or can you just copy the installed folder over to Steam once it starts to download.

Is my gear alright for where I'm at? Not using any guides and this is my first playthrough.

Using astora's striaght sword +3
Elite knight chest +5
legs+3
gloves+3
Gargoyle helm
Havel's ring
Ring of evil eye
Shield from the black knight near red dragon.

I've only rung the top bell and have to explore blight town next. Just killed that big leech on the wall. The problem for me is I can't seem to find any more of those lizards to upgrade my weapon anymore and can't find anymore shards to further upgrade my armour. Should I be using better gear, if so where can I find em. I just killed that red dragon and he didn't drop anything. I've just found out about humanity increasing drop rate so will be going around in +8 humanity or so from now on.

Pretty sure you just activate it on steam, as a namco dev said quoted a few pages back I think.

I got the Elite Knight Armour and Stone Knight Armour from Darkroot Garden first off, now rolling in Silver Knight Gear

Hank your equipment looks fine, you're soul level is high too! I'm only around 45-50 and im at Anor Londo!

However I'm seriously ****ed off with this game atm, just lost me 160k souls and way over 10 humanity because a black phantom came out of nowhere and backstabbed me while I was fighting a sentinel :mad:

Also Solaire got attacked by a silver knight and turned on me, so now he's dead too! :mad:

Boss fight that was barely possible with him is not impossible

No summon signs in an hour!

I had no summon signs all day yesterday. Today I have seen loads, not sure if it is server problems as we are all on different servers so to speak. But today I have had lots and lots of signs. But a lot of them just fail, ie "Summon Failed" takes many tries to get someone to join. I just wonder if others have the ports open, I know I have.

So stupid that they have such a terrible netcode for a game where some of the bosses do require co-op to get past without stupid amounts of time

Love this game

HankScorpio · 29 Aug 2012 at 19:18

sssshhiiiirreeee......baaagggginnnnnssssss

smit101 · 29 Aug 2012 at 19:43

Ain't no bagginses around here, they're all up in Hobbiton! Slam!

Tibbz2 · 29 Aug 2012 at 19:46

Think it's time for me to start a new save, after about 18 attempts I have come to the conclusion with my current character, without a summon, O&S will be impossible.

would have been good if it had a friend system in game so could help peeps on the forum in groups

Yeah I think that would be one of the few things to add to the game to make is better.

Why is this cack console port getting high reviews? No wonder PC games are going downhill if this is acceptable.

because it's a good game and they even said it wouldn't be a great pc port months in advance yet you was expecting otherwise?

HankScorpio · 29 Aug 2012 at 20:40

What's cack about it?

Hate on, it's a good game.

Anyway I love playing with the song from the Dark Souls trailer in the background, it's just so awesome and suits the game so much
