I don't know if this has been asked a billion times or not, but is the Master Key gift a one time use?

So, report from the front, I have the XBox 360 version... I'm not sure I remember Demons Souls being this... Well, Unfair, I've had a lot of deaths that happen because I try to roll out of the way, and for some reason my guy attacks instead, or walks into the path of the oncoming attack. The Taurus Demon was basically impossible to melee because his upward attack came faster then I could dodge, and he has enough tracking with it to catch you even in a last-minute dodge inside his attack range. I couldn't kill him until I stocked up on Firebombs and just cheesed through him with those. And now I'm at the god drat Dragon Bridge, and I'm basically stuck, as far as I can tell, there's no way across the bridge until the midway point, and I always take at least one hit on the way up, which knocks me down and almost kills me--often does, as he just attacks again by the time I get back up on my feet. I do appreciate the increased challenge, and I suppose I had it coming by starting as a Deprived, but Jesus Christ

I wish I could cancel too but I paid completely with amazon credit  Speaking of which, aren't we supposed to get a $10 credit for pre-ordering? I didn't even get that.

DeathSandwich posted:So apparently I'm a moron and (early game) locked myself out of the undead parish with the portcullis right where you fight the armored boar. Is there any way to get back in? Seriously though, is there any way to get back into the parish after you do this or do I just have to go do another area?

You could always do it the right way, and jump attack him. They practically give that one to you. Hell, there's even a ladder. Just run, if you block you'll take the second hit and get insta-killed at anywhere near starting stats. Edit: DeathSandwich posted:Seriously though, is there any way to get back into the parish after you do this or do I just have to go do another area? Yes there is Down the stairs I believe leads back into/around it

Nigulus Rex posted:Well I don't know how to cast that spell. It's in the "up" slot on my d pad as default but I can't cast it (unless I'm doing it wrong?) I really could use some help... You need to equip the sorcery catalyst (should look like a staff) into one of your hands and then press R1/RB or L1/LB to activate it.

I "preordered" on Sunday afternoon, was stuck in "shipping soon" all day yesterday, got a shipping notice at 9pm. According to UPS it left Kentucky at 2am, arrived in Oakland, CA at 6am, and is now out for delivery. It'll probably be at my desk when I arrive at work. I'll never doubt you again, Amazon! Now release the guide too.

I canceled my amazon order, if it hasn't shipped yet, it won't be arriving today despite what the delivery estimate says. I guess I'll buy it. At a store. Probably like best buy cuz gamestop probably won't have any for people who didn't preorder from them and also gently caress gamestop.

 Future Press just posted another scan, this time from their weapons page! Not as spoilery I think so there's the image. Ignore it if you still wanna roll blind otherwise it's free information! Gyoru posted:I don't think there was any pre-order credit unless you traded in a game with the DkS pre-order. I actually just got off the phone with amazon rep because my game is still pending (the trade-in) and I wasn't sure if I was going to get the $5 bonus. Well, Cust Service was just like "well since we don't see the promo anymore and that your game is still pending... here's $10 off your next purchase!" Hope that future press guide comes back because I just got $10 off of it

This game would be way too hard for me, but it's fun to watch. Found an English playthrough with commentary on youtube already, at least the first few parts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkof...nel_video_title It was kind of annoying trying to follow the stream gameplay since it was all in Japanese.

With all due respect, while we all (sincerely) sympathize with your Amazon preorder woes, I don't think we need to hear about it anymore. Sincerely, TOUGH LOVE. REAL DARK SOULS STARTS NOW!

So I lit a bonfire an went into the undeadburg area (at least that's where I think), and when I died it took me the whole way back to the beginning right after the aslyum. Any reason it did that?

Is there an easily accessible sacred weapon like the blessed mace in 5-1? I want to smash evil with a righteous mace again, and I'm worried that it'll take forever to.

One thing I found is that I'm much more varied in my approach than I was in Demon's Souls where I quickly settled on rolling all day, every day. In Dark Souls there are enemies and areas where I much prefer to get my armor/poise up and trade blows. I'm paying way more attention to timing my blocks more precisely to keep my stamina usage low and recharge high.

Aside from special editions of this game, why would you order it online? I just went to gamestop and picked it up, no waiting for delivery, none of that.

Is there any difference/advantage/penalty to being Hallow? Aside from not being invaded?

I order online simply for the fact that when I get home from work it's already sitting there waiting for me. Driving to a brick and mortar store would cost me extra gas money.  Edit: I work up in the mountains in a trucking terminal, the only towns I pass through are blink and you missed it style towns, no stores that sell games in them.

My game should be here any time now. I've done everything I had to do for the day. I'm even gonna keep track of how many times I die. I'm gonna start as a thief and get the pendant. This is going to be a good day. ^^^^ And it effects how some NPCs treat you. Eligibility for covenants and such.

It's even less effort when it comes to your door. Without sales tax. And with occasional discounts up to 33%. And also Gamestop is a reeking pawnshop whom I don't want to support.

You mean aside from the no tax, the often discounts or promotions, the fact that it's shipped for free, and the fact that I don't have to go in to a Gamestop that smells like dusty boxes, a light hint of poorly wiped rear end, and sadness? I'm not sure, really. I will reconsider my goals.

Why all the hate for the 'Stop? They're ridiculously convenient, they'll pay you a decent price for your used games...I don't see anything wrong with them. Maybe because mine is clean and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable people.

They rip you off on used game payments, they smell bad (usually) they give you SO much guff about preordering poo poo over the phone, and even more in person. They act like they won't have anything unless you preorder (and whether it's true or a ruse, gently caress them they aren't doing me a favor by STOCKING product in a goddamn store.) It's a useless, dinosaury store that just hasn't gotten the memo that it's on the extinction list, and acts more pompous than it should.

Plus buying a used game is nothing but profit for them, and none for the developer. That's another  though.

Hurray, had no idea the collector's edition was the same price as the regular box. Picked up the local Best Buy's last copy, thirty minutes after they opened  Now to stumble through another few hours of work before going home to get my rear end stomped into the ground all night. (I didn't play Demon's Souls, so I only have a vague idea of what I'm in for, but I'm sure it's going to be glorious, glorious death.)
