I was trying to pre-order this on Playstation last night but all the sudden my credit card does not work and sony will not help me so I think I'm going to break down and buy the sun Xbox One.

I just really hope within a few months that the Xbox One fan base is not around for this game.

can you try paypal for the playstation store?

So, Amazon isn't sending my "Day one edition" until Thursday - which is just unacceptable for me. I didn't realize that it was going to take two days until I received the game that I pre-ordered.

I sat down on PSN to go purchase the game and I keep getting errors all around: At first I received a credit card error despite everything being correct (I Just used it on PSN a few days ago.) When I went to just add funds rather than directly buy the game I got a generic "cannot do that" error. I attempted to buy online - same thing.

PSN's lack of service is so loving frustrating. Likely just going to buy game cards and plug those in, now - here's hoping that'll work.

It should, that is how I fixed my purchasing problem earlier last year

How is anyone dying to Gundyr? Starting as a knight, he hit me only once, and longswording his butt worked well enough. Same with the boss after him.

Neat!

some of us are not good at *Souls. Some of us also compounded their problem by bingeing Hyper Light Drifter over the weekend so that we pressed wrong buttons, a lot, for the first couple hours of DS3 :downs:

Still can't beat tutorial boss. I am aware I need to get good. I just can't seem to dodge him properly and can't block as a Herald. Tried hugging him and strafing to right, he just does some attack and I'm on my back.

try keeping a long distance, he does one of two things in that situation--basically high jump attack or long lunge attack. either one is super easy to dodge and leaves him open to 2-3 hits. the same thing applies in the second phase, but it's high jump and wide sweep medium jump instead

Okay so I'm going to ask a really dumb question.

How do you set up/use weapon arts? I've yet to figure out how to enable them and I've just run around doing the standard attack/strong attack but these weapon arts sound neato.

i think it depends on the weapon but for instance, with rapier, you hold l2 to move yourself into a new stance and then your r1/r2 attacks change

The Shortest Path posted:

How am I supposed to kill these blob things on the high wall? They oneshot me from full health and I cannot kill them in a full stamina bar, so it just ends up with me inevitably trying to dodge and poke which fails horrifically since their attacks are large and occasionally frequent.

if you mean the black growths that come out of seemingly normal zombies, firebombs help

i don't think the early ones need to be killed more than once. you can run past the one on the roof

Harrow posted:

I am not a fan of the NPC invader in the Undead Settlement. He's of the Dark Souls 2 school of NPC invader, I see: heal himself constantly and take jack poo poo for damage in return.

I ended up having to retreat because I ran out of Estus and he'd kill me in one more hit, so I'm sure glad I get to do the area again and then probably have the exact same thing happen

yeah he's a pain in the rear end solo that becomes a joke if you have a summoned bro

also if you fight him near the little bridge you can walk under (directly on the path to the bandsaw guy), he may just fall through the world and die. happened to me last night

last night I played for a while and got to the ice boss guy thats fairly early in the game

I was very close to being able to beat him when I go to bed

someone talks about a katana guy near Firelink should i even bother trying him right now, considering how bad I am

katana guy is killable but can take quite a few tries

or you can lure him into falling off the nearby cliff. even if you also fall, his loot bag will be there when you respawn

They've really lowered the amount of souls you get for co-op huh. I just hung out around Vordt dropping my sign for a good hour and I think I was getting 750ish souls per kill, though there were so many people doing the same that it wasn't hard to rack up a good chunk since every kill was taking about a minute.

i think the first purple npc invader gives 3,000 and takes about that long

so is this a crashy mess? worth getting now or wait and see if they patch it up?

Depends on what vidcard you have and how well-cooled/dust-free your case/card are, it seems. i'm having no problems with a 4690k and nvidia 980, but i haven't checked my temps yet

or just get it on ps4

Are the servers dead? No summons, no summon signs, no invasions.

Also wow the game gets a lot harder on a hdtv compared to the monitor. Nice one second input lag there. Also I just realized that the Knight's armor starts with what might as well be zero poise. It has failed to let me attack through everything, including a tiny lil' rat. Interesting trick compared to the last two games.

Quit out and start your game again, it will reconnect

I need to be stronker. Any decent places to farm souls before killing the Abyssal boys?

put your summon sign down for Asylum Demon, tree boss, or the Dilapidated Bridge bonfire (the first purple npc is 3000 souls). All have pretty good potential with low risk by that point

Okay, where do I go from the settlement? I feel like I've exhausted every corner of the drat place.

So far I've killed the tree, which apparently was optional, killed the fire demon with sieg, opened up the door in the sewer section, rescued the maiden from her cell... I just don't see where a new path would open up. I'm starting to be overleveled for this place.

from the basement bonfire (the one before dilapidated bridge) go across the bridge (there's two or three cauldron dudes across it) to a building where you can take an elevator down to fight an ice demon miniboss. there is a door after that miniboss with a new bonfire outside

asylum demon is in the poison swamp. find hte building with three slugs at the bottom of a ladder. climb the ladder, go inside and light bonfire, take an elevator in that room up to the roof. asylum demon is at the top on the left

(this is not before the settlement)
