3Romeo posted:Please don't think I'm intentionally making GBS threads up the thread or anything, but I'm trying to get into the series and I'm just not digging it. I recently picked up DS 1 (PC) and went into a game with a monumentally lovely control scheme, unintuitive play, and a laundry list of some relatively basic questions I had to consult a wiki for. Playing with kb+m ? Use a controller, jumping aside, the controls are pretty tight. The game can be pretty cryptic but try talking to npcs all the time, they'll usually tell you some important tips (and read the item descriptions). For the first run I'd only read the wiki about weapon upgrades/infusion and stats. Miss Mowcher fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Apr 11, 2016 |

3Romeo posted:Yeah, KB+M. I don't mind a challenge, but I hate having to fight against the interface. It's aggravating in all the wrong ways. They could've made the kb+m better but it would still be bad, if you want to play this game definitely get a controller. You don't need to watch a Let's Play or read a walkthrough, the game works inside it's own universe

GreenBuckanneer posted:am I understanding these PC requirements properly? If I have a 750ti and a 3570k @ 4.2 I'll need to upgrade to at least a 780 in order to play dank butts 3? Depending on the resolution you probably will be able to (not at 60 fps, but still able to play).

They made a mechanic specific for people who are afraid of invasions and it seems that it works fine this time, join the way of blue covenant and just chill while hordes of blue cops come to your rescue

GannerOne posted:So... regular or digital deluxe edition (apparently includes season pass)? Souls DLCs are notoriously good but it'll take a while for them to come out so you could wait to spend the money before the first one comes out if it's a concern, or pay everything now and never worry about buying DS3 related stuff later

lets hang out posted:purples can help the host by fighting enemies and invaders. unfortunately a lot of people are boring and just use it like a red sign. But why summon a purple one for helping with enemies and invaders if you can just summon a white/gold one ? If there's the danger of him attacking me at least I should get something (a covenant item or some ember ?)

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:Oh man I don't think I can do this loving Giant god drat Tree boss as a Thief, you really need either Range or AoE and I have neither and am very rusty and keep thinking if I get hit I can just get that HP back by wailing on them like Bloodborne. Range and AoE ? Boss goes much faster if you go melee, range sucks a lot in this fight. Grab uchi or a straight sword of choice and go for the eggs in the arms/legs/back before going to the front I co-oped that boss about 15 times, I'd help you but I gotta go to college now, I'm only back way later hit me up in steam steamcommunity.com/id/ZZZorc/ , I could help you later in the next fights

They should give us the small soapstone back, sometimes you just want to grab some help for a few mobs (or when you leave the sign, you just want to kill some monsters to get your cinder/estus back) being forced go the whole way until winning a boss fight sucks.

Then don't give full restore for one co-op, restore only a few Small soapstones incentives people to leave signs around the map, big soapstone tends to gravitate the signs to boss doors Golden Goat posted:Please tell me they've all just strapped a estoc to their back pointing out.
