Can anyone confirm that the master key can be used more than once? Seems like a no brainer to start as thief if none of the other classes get special perks like that.

Decided the game will be worth the wait in shipping plus I have classes so it's not like I can play non-stop. Woke up, popped the money on the CC and now waiting for Amazon to consume my funds. So stoked! Almost here!!

Gazmachine posted:Quick thought on PvP now - I just realised that heal grass abuse is out, because they took about 0.5 seconds to consume and now the drinks take at least twice as long, so that will immediately negate that problem. That's pretty cool. I'm pretty sure that invaders aren't allowed to heal at all now. I plan to have a drunken weekend to help it go by faster. Than after work tuesday, my old fling from way back, Death, shall once again come home to embrace me.

I mean, I expect to die a lot in the process, but I don't care about that. And there is always NG+ for a whole new level of challenge. If it's anything like Demon Souls then it will come down to your skill and knowledge of the enemies attacks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLbZm8UMpEI

So ready to jump into this game. I'm on the fence right now as to whether I want to go with a lumber mountain of metal or a leather bound wanderer. Tuesday is gonna be a late night for me. also heres my link if people are still clicking. http://goo.gl/qAwiP Aside from gameplay I'm just really excited to see all the environments they've designed. Everything just looks so great and well detailed. And while I didn't get as far as I'd have liked in DeS I have a bit more experience than your average xboxer so I'm wondering how I'll fare against the Bro Phantoms on Live.

This was something I liked a lot about King's Field actually, instead of a generic consumable key item you get several unique keys that are all useful throughout the game. Most games today keys are either consumable or they're only needed for one or two specific items.

^^^ Hell, I don't see why you can't be drunk for a week. ^^^ If the Masterkey is non-consumable and the only item you can't get through regular gameplay, it really is kind of a no brainer to pick as your gift. I won't be picking a thief for it, I'll just take that as the one gift. I'm starting as a Knight; I mean, look at that armor.

There'll be plenty of new blood to spill on both platforms due to the wonderful advertising this game has gotten. The 360 will probably have more clueless newbies though due to the popularity of it in the west.

Anyone know how the warrior's starting shield compares to the knight's? I played knight in Demon's Souls but I'm liking the warrior's starting stats, etc a lot better here.

If it is anything like Demon's Souls, it'll be only slightly worse. The heater shield was the shield I used most often, since it was the lightest shield that also blocked 100% of physical damage.

der juicen posted:I'm just trying to find the easiest route, since I cannot use the block button, unless I can change it. Which I probably cannot. If anyone can point me to a fully programmable controller for the xb360, that'd be sweet. Man this thread moves fast, people have sort of moved on from this but I'm one boss away from beating NG+ in Demon's Souls without using a shield. Blocking with weapons isn't worth the stamina loss so you're not missing out when you're two-handing. It's not the traditional way of playing, and you will die a lot when you round a corner into a pack of enemies you didn't know was there, but it is fun as hell when it works. You can also stick to co-op, just hang back and let the guy with the shield take the first hit and circle around for a backstab. Everyone will just think you're a badass who doesn't need a shield.

I went with the easiest class to start with in Demon's Souls (that priest that starts out with hammer and armor). This time I think I'll do it right and go with Deprived so that each rusty piece of poo poo sword, each tattered pair of boots will be a godsend from heaven.

I'm considering getting a console to play these games since they seem to be exactly what I want. I don't want to start a console war or whatever, but I am curious .. If there is a version of demon souls and or dark souls that is superior in some fashion, which one would that be?

Demon's Souls is only available on PS3 and Dark Souls is supposedly virtually identical on either console, but perhaps slightly superior on PS3.

Most are going to tell you PS3, since that's the only console Demon's Souls is on and the native console for Dark Souls. However, aside from controller issues (The bumpers are the main buttons you'll be using on 360) It seems that the PS3/360 versions are nearly identical. So, just go with whatever interests you the most.

From what I hear Dark Souls is for the most part the same on each system. edit-beaten twice

Keep in mind that to play online with the 360 you need to pay for a subscription. The PS3 does not require one. If you're trying to make a console decision I'd suggest looking for other games you're interested in and make a selection based on which system has more exclusives that you'd want to play.

It's really hard to resist the urge to call up nearby gamestops and see if they broke the street date. I want to play this game right now. I wonder if they'd even tell me over the phone.

Only way I can see them telling you, is if you ask if it's available. If you ask if they broke street date directly I'm sure they'd clam up and tell you no regardless.

coyo7e posted:What runes? I don't really see anything to do besides look at my rank and number of tokens. I spun the wheel a couple times and never saw it again. OK, to give you fully spoilerific explanation to the best of my knowledge, from what I've been able to pick up: Evidently on that page, one of the runes around the statue glimmers very faintly every couple seconds, however it doesn't function properly on all browsers, namely Firefox. It has been confirmed to work on Google Chrome. This is the first step of what is commonly referred to as the "Glyph Puzzle" wherein you get 8 clicks to correctly pick 30 runes in order. As far as I've been able to find out, there is no strategic way to solve this puzzle, and it's either sheer dumb luck, or brazen cheating to solve it. The method I used to beat it was mentioned by one of the mods on their forums. While on that page, after clicking the first glowing rune, type java script:mg.hint() into the url bar and that should make the next rune glimmer briefly. Once you get all 30 runes it gives you a code which you can redeem on that page for an achievement and 2 tokens(it might also give soul energy, as my rank subsequently skyrocketed.) It seems the tokens are what that spinner uses, but at present, the page seems to be hosed so a lot of aspects of it aren't working properly. There also seem to be other puzzles tied to the site, though I'm not entirely sure how to access them. I think one of them may be somehow linked to following it on twitter, as I've been hearing a lot about people getting pieces of some puzzle and collaborating to try to complete it. edit: Not entirely sure why, but in the actual post it puts a space between java and script. There should not be a space. ConfliktedMind fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Sep 30, 2011 |
