I never understood that mindset, it made playing Jedi Academy very boring. :(

"YOU HAVE TO BOW FIRST"

Haha, I loved this because I would bow at first, to lull them into a false sense of security. Then next time I would just bust out a full kata. Dark side :c00l:

Thanks yall. I've pretty much trained myself since my accident happened, once I figured ?I could play games. I've nearly beaten Deus Ex on second hardest difficulty, beaten asscred, dragon age 2, currently playing Madden and NHL, which use the left stick to move. Well, all those games do. I've gotten use to hitting LB fast enough in those games that need it.

I think I may have a chance with a range character or a rolling tank. I don't like shields anyways. :colbert:

Go Voltron mode, have a friend put his hand on the left side, and have your hand on the right side of the controller.

Then play the game :hfive:

Gonna go play dumb and check the on-campus Gamestop to see if "the game I ordered is in stock." Using fake surgery for next week if they say I can't have the sparkly. Will have Scraping Spear & Baby's Nail in backpack as an absolute last resort. Wish me luck goons.

That'll never work.

You need to go to the super shady stores... perhaps those on Main Street in Newark, New Jersey, mayhaps? :ninja:

Not sure, but I don't think it matters too much: Dexterity modifies roll speed in this game, so given enough Dex you'll be able to dodge effectively in any armor. One of the streamers with around 35 Endurance and 25 Dexterity was able to do cartwheels in Knight Armor.

Just a heads up to ps3 owners-

You know how in demons souls you could hastily turn off the ps3 or exit the game to erase the last 20 seconds of "im an idiot and fell off a cliff with 50k souls?"

Dont do that in dark souls. It auto saves constantly. And you will corrupt your saves and you will have to start over.

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. :effort:

I preordered the game from Best Buy, so I should have the limited edition, I think, but I'm pretty sure I didn't get it. What I have is just a regular PS3 game box. The picture on the cover is the one in the OP. All that's in it is the manual and the game, and I don't see some sort of code for the downloadable stuff. There's no mention of any special edition on the box anywhere. I'm guessing I didn't get it?

The Collector's Edition comes in a metal tin, so no you didn't :(

First time playing any of the Souls games and I'm getting ruined. Hint to newbies. Don't start as a thief.

Gonna try as a knight maybe and come back to the thief when I know what I'm doing.

Yeah, that might not be a bad idea. I'm playing as thief in my run now, but you definitely need to rely on dodge rolls and running around people to do lots of damage. Armor might be more forgiving in the beginning.

The only thing that really sucks about the thief is your dagger is piss poor against any monster with lots of HP :ohdear:

Important question: What's the pacing of this game like? Most of the videos I've seen make it look like combat requires a degree of precision, and it's rarely more than one-on-one encounters.

There are definitely groups of enemies that can all attack you at once. And enemies are a LOT smarter too. They got a few new tricks you never saw in Demon's.

This is speaking from being in the first area of the game currently.

I know I'm missing like, a vital part of this game, but what exactly is humanity used for? I think I remeber soemthing about reversing hollowed status, and upgrading bonfires, but Upgrading Humanity seems to do nothing, and I can't upgrade bonfires cause I lack some sort of ritual.

The more humanity you have, the better items and better item drop percentage you receive from monsters.

Humanity is also used to upgrade your chosen Covenant

If you get a parry off, it does INSANE amounts of damage. The few times I've done it, it's an instant kill

One terrible thing about the messages is if you read one and you're like "this is useful, better +1 this" you need to back off it so the message fades, get out your orange soapstone, and rate the drat thing. When you read it, it should just have an option to hit X to rate or something.

This. It's so much more a pain in the rear end to rate stuff in Dark that I just never do it :shobon:

It was a perfect reminder of why I play video games to begin with.
