FrickenMoron posted:Yeah I use a PS2 controller with an adapter as my PC gamepad, works really well. Since it has the same amount of buttons it should be fine. I wonder how the sixaxis gestures are going to work on pc though? The Sixaxis gestures are so awkward to use compared to just selecting the gesture that I'm sure you won't miss them at all.

But really, as long as they make an effort to make all the menus mouse-compatible and let us rebind keys/change options, I'll be happy.

iuvian posted:Man I was expecting it to look bad, but this is actually worse than I could have ever imagined. This might actually be the worst port since Resident Evil 4, where they forgot to include the lighting engine. Can't believe they want $40 for this poo poo. The game's technical graphics are poo poo (and have been since Demon's Souls) but this is honest to god one of the best games ever, and they never set expectations higher than "this is a direct port of the console experience". The art in the game is pretty great once you get used to how the game looks. Even on PS3 at 1080p it looked exactly the same, and everyone praised it as a masterpiece.

boxinglemur posted:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=41330816&postcount=686 Is the internal renderer really at that res? Looks like it was upscaled to me. No AA would look much more jagged, and the smoothing looks uneven as though it was on a different res.

Holy poo poo, this game really does look a lot better with that resolution fix. Now I just need it to reliably detect my PS3 controller (I keep having to change the MotionInJoy settings around while in game for it to detect) and I'll be set. Got a Balder Side Sword right in the Parish. Saved me from having to farm it in Sen's. The game feels kinda different with a lighter weapon. I can't just run in two handed and two shot almost everything.

Abalieno posted:Anyone knows some game areas that stresses performance and that is near the beginning of the game? I know about Blighttown, but that seems quite far into the game. Honestly, my game has chugged in Undead Burg more than any other place I've been to so far. I think they made some big optimizations to Blighttown as it ran perfectly fine. New Londo Ruins was the other sore spot on the PS3, and it's right next to the start. I only hopped in it to grab a fire keeper soul but it seemed okay...? ivantod posted:- Eagle Shield nerfed (now only blocks 95% physical damage thus making it pretty much useless in my opinion). Seriously?  Goes from best shield to worst shield. Glad I stuck with the heater shield for this playthrough (only because I didn't have the Str for Eagle Shield).

Nahxela posted:Eh, I wouldn't necessarily say it's the worst. If it retains its solid stability and relatively light weight, it's still a pretty solid shield. While 95% isn't a full block, it's still pretty hefty. A lot of people run around with the Grass Crest Shield because of the Stamina Regen and not so terrible stability even in spite of it not having a full 100% Physical Block. Admittedly the eagle shield almost trivialized the game because you can block literally every physical attack when you upgrade its stability, so maybe it's not an entirely bad change.

Samurai Sanders posted:Yeah, most people with i7s are reporting that. Could the difference between an i5 and an i7 possibly gently caress things up? Also, have you played the Witcher 2, GTA4, or Saint's Row 3? Those are three games that don't run well on my laptop and I wondered if they ran well on yours, for reference. I have an i7 Sandy Bridge, and the game occasionally chugs (mostly in undead burg). I attribute that to my Radeon HD 6950 amd the game being a console port, though.

Anti-Hero posted:So the Drake sword wrecks poo poo, but I feel like you need tons of repair powders as the durability degrades rapidly. Is this intended? Avoid the lovely heavy attack where you shoot that wave of force from your sword. It takes a lot of durability every time you use it, and it's a bad move in general.

Niggurath posted:It kinda gives me the illusion that they actually made some changes to it. But I was mostly just hoping they would have maybe given the option to play with a friend whose the same level; I mean they got rid of the janky world tendencies, why not improve on the co-op? I get enough immersion playing with myself, but in a co-op game I'd like to co-op with who I want to. I thought they made easy coop matchmaking as well. However, once you get used to it with a friend over Skype it's really quite easy. Just drop your signs in out of the way areas. People mentioned that summoning failed means that they cycled servers. This is not true as since 1.05 (console patch) everyone is on one server. Usually someone else summoned them first, they removed their sign before you tried to summon them, or there's some network connectivity issue between you and them. I've noticed that summoning in general is a lot faster. If the Capra Demon is giving you issues, buy the heater shield and spear from the undead merchant and upgrade them. You can easily dispatch the dogs with them, and the capra demon by himself is incredibly slow and leaves himself wide open all the time. Also, summon someone. People leave their signs right outside the door I was farming some humanity from him last night, but the area is outside my level range now.

Spears are pretty good for PvE. For small swords, get the Balder Side Sword. It's the only one I don't hate, and it's not stupidly strong. You might be farming it for a while though...

DLC Spoilers: Wow, the Guardian to the DLC area is brutal. I had to give it a few tries even in my upper 60s. Never figured out how to dodge that gigantic ball of electricity. After clearing him, I put my sign down and helped some guy beat the boss after that. Some bird helmet guy? He is loving BADASS. Is that Artorias? Someone invaded while I was helping this guy clear out some tough brutes. I just threw a crystal soul spear and took him clean out, 750 damage. After getting poo poo on in PvP on PS3 it's nice to get some payback. melon man posted:Anybody mind helping me out with Ornstein & Smough? I'm lvl 62, which is really high for summoning.

Shima Honnou posted:Crystal hollow archer arrows can curve up to about 45 degrees from the angle that they were fired from, and those archers can at times fire from angles that are completely impossible for their animation - such as sideways out of the bow when you try to dodge them. They respawn, and they have high armor because they're mostly crystallized. Their arrows do a decent chunk of damage, and even better, there's almost always a channeler nearby who raises their attack power by something like 2 or 3 times. I thought you were talking about Anor Londo. The archers are nothing compared to the channelers themselves since they deal a shitton more damage, and you can't block 100% of it Concerning the DLC, I killed Manas but I haven't made any progress on the area with the dragon. Flash sweat, fire resistance... I immediately die to his fire regardless. Is there supposed to be a way to take him out?

What is a good counter against people with katanas? They just relentlessly attack to build up bleed, and my balder side sword doesn't do enough to stagger them. It's really not worth it to try to trade blows. I'd try parrying but... I really don't feel good enough to do that reliably.

FrickenMoron posted:Are Katanas dex swords? If I'm mainly str I guess I'm stuck to huge 2handers? Are some of those bigger ones like the demon maul hammer and stone guardian sword worth using? I need more str for those though... Yes, katanas are dex. For Str I recommend that black knight greataxe. It has good range, is fast for its size, and scales well with strength. It was my first character's main weapon on the PS3.

VisAbsoluta posted:For people saying it's a good port in the last few pages because they can run it in 9000x6700, I dunno. I have a reasonable setup (HD5770, Phenom II X4 955BE, 4GB of DDR3) and I have very unstable FPS with the lovely graphics of the default resolution (not using Durante's fix) in 1600x900, which is very annoying. Lots of people with the same trouble too, mostly in AMD cards. I created a profile for the game yesterday and the little I played after seemed improved, although it could be a placebo effect. Did you try the game with the resolution fix? Because my game runs noticeably smoother with it on than with no fix at all. Also, I don't think anyone disagrees that this is not a "good" PC port since it doesn't take advantage of PC features and controls, but with a gamepad it recreates the console experience with higher fidelity (with the fix) of, in my opinion, one of the best games of all time. My only major problem with it is that I'm having a much harder time summoning/getting summoned on the PC.

I give up on multiplayer for this game. I've tried everything... forwarding ports... enabling uPnP... trying a VPN with my friend... I just can't summon a person that I want. 9/10 invasions fail against me (I see fog go up but no one ever invades). The fog ring works maybe once an hour. It's just lovely lovely lovely networking. I never, ever had this problem on Demon's Souls, and PS3 Dark Souls worked fine after that big patch.
