Anyone unable to download it from Steam? I pre-ordered a couple days ago and while it no longer says pre-order in the Library now, double-clicking it does nothing. Is there another way to install that I'm missing?

Rookersh posted:So every bonfire I find will give me 5 Estus Flasks right? Being human only lets you get invaded/summon others to your world. You're right in that the best use for humanity is kindling bonfires, though. There are other benefits, though. Liquid humanity (the number in the upper left) will boost your defenses and your item discovery by a decent amount, but it's not worth saving up humanity for that alone.

Samurai Sanders posted:There are specific bonfires at hub areas that you will want to upgrade, while others are kind of peripheral and aren't worth it. Unfortunately which is which won't be immediately obvious, but will be once you start opening up shortcuts and stuff. In addition to that it will be really obvious which bonfires are the "worthwhile" ones, but if you are near a boss and just need the extra flask hits it isn't a huge huge waste or anything to level up an out of the way fire.

OxMan posted:Please, please someone, is there anything I can do to get this game to run with a PS2 controller? I tried motioninjoy and it doesn't work 'cause it's a PS2 controller, and dark souls doesn't recognize anything by default other than button 1 and the Dpad.

Rookersh posted:Does being human get you any inherent benefit? So far seems like Kindling everything would be a solid use of Humanity. Yes, being human allows you to PvP (but also get invaded), summon white phantoms (other players and NPCs that help you) and comes with a boost to magic find IIRC. Personally when I played through the game on xbox I would human->kindle any time I had 2 liquid humanities. There are a bunch of fires you will want to kindle regardless of whether or not you have liquid humanities though, like ones before bosses or in tough areas. It's rarely a waste. Edit: Wow I have never been so beaten in my life

Rookersh posted:So every bonfire I find will give me 5 Estus Flasks right? Kindle the ones you need to kindle. I know that doesn't sound very helpful, but explore around a bit, fight some enemies, get to a boss, etc. If you're getting your rear end hammered with 5 Estus, by all means kindle those bastards to give yourself that extra edge. Some bonfires are so isolated that you may only run by them once or twice in a game, so kindling them would be a waste of humanity (not that it's especially hard to come by). As for being human, it slightly raises your resistances and your attack (not to mention it allows you to summon/invade other players). Having more humanity on hand also increases these bonuses up to a point.

Anyone who wants to use their PS3 controller for this should use: http://www.motioninjoy.com/ Allows bluetooth connection and 360 controller emulation. Captain Beans fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Aug 24, 2012 |

Male of the Century posted:Trying to set up a PS3 controller with this and having some odd camera issues. Whenever I hit R2 or L2 the camera pans to the associated side, which obviously is a huge problem. I already turned off the sixaxis tilting that was also controlling the camera, but I can't figure this one out for the life of me. I'm using the latest version of Motionjoy if that's any help. I had the same issues. If you're using MotionInjoy, set your PS3 controller as an X-Box 360 controller. This should solve the issue. I just beat the first boss! People can bitch all they want but with the texture fix and the PS3 controller I'm glad I spent the $40!

Already died to hollows several times, because I keep defaulting to the Arkham City controls and chugging my Estus flasks mid-combat. Also I really suck with the dodge controls.

 I figured out the 360 controller problem!! So apparently Dark Souls doesn't like it if you have anything else plugged in that counts as a game controller. In my case it was a non-existent accessory that I've never had for my keyboard but since my keyboard's drivers are installed the Windows drivers has it listed under Control Panel > Devices & Printers > Game Controller Settings. So basically the only way for me to play Dark Souls with a controller at all is to unplug my keyboard completely. There's not a  big enough.

Hmm, even set as a 360 controller when I go into the controller properties R2 and L2 are still maxing out the "Z Axis" inputs.

I'm rushing the game to find it and just killed the Hydra so I'm hoping I hit it soon. Also, the resolution patch makes the game GORGEOUS except for the really blurry distance, which is a fine tradeoff for me

Captain Beans posted:Anyone who wants to use their PS3 controller for this should use: Almost half the controller questions already said that motionjoy/DS3 tool wasn't working. (In my case it refuses to see the analog sticks) Edit: my problem is the game doesn't use the control sticks in the menu (why the hell not) and the control scheme edit is *only* for kbm. So my logging in and expecting to see a controller to verify it sees it didn't work. EBT fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Aug 24, 2012 |

Game is just so gorgeous already compared to my 360 on the same 42" that the blurry can stay. Now, back to speed running around until I find the DLC  What messages? Those things on the ground are hosed up? I've played the 360 version so many times I lost count, so I've been skipping them, but I can see that being a really big issue for new players

Didn't get any feedback on the souls trainer, but I don't think I did enough pointer scans and picked an iffy offset. New version should be better. Let me know if it works. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/43421440/soulsForGoonsV2.7z

If people can just give themselves free XP and get high soul levels, big whoop no big deal. If people can give themselves stats without increasing their XP levels though... that's about as fair a fight as a TF2 admin noclipping himself.
