SixtySix posted:You should be able to start the download with the Steam app or from a browser window What I mean to say is I am not at my home computer at the moment and don't have access to it. My logged in Steam client at home won't start downloading the game automatically based on availability, will it?

SixtySix posted:No, but if you can access another computer to get to the Steam website or have a smartphone with the free Steam app, you can start the download now remotely to your home PC and it'll be ready for you. This I can definitely do - thanks for the tip!

A bit disappointed I couldnt play properly last night, but after connecting an Xbox 360 controller, applying the resolution fix, I am happily chugging along, although I have no loving clue what I am doing yet. I got invaded for the first time about 20 minutes ago and got schooled. I sensed the dude was toying with me a bit, he realized I was a noob - I even unequipped my shield during the fight due to not having the controls down pat. Soon..... Anyhow, it's a great game and pretty much what I expected, which is a good thing. I am happy with it for sure.

FrickenMoron posted:Ugh, I needed like 5 tries for the Taurus demon. First time I fell to my death, the rest were general incompetence at dodging/pressing wrong keys etc. The interface is not the best really and takes some time to get used to, but I love the game very much so far! This is where I decided to take a break last night. My strategy involved applying some lightning to my weapon and then dropping down on him quickly from the tower before he jumped up. It took off more than half of his health and I almost was able to do it a second time before he jumped up and smoked me. Now I am out of the lightning buffs and have no idea what I am going to do. I guess I will need to learn his gimmicks

Can you pause in the Console versions? I am thinking the answer is no - the entire design of the game seems to be focused on "you aren't safe, ever", and no pause adds to that. The other factor would be how to handle the ability to pause with multiplayer, which while addressable probably wasnt something they wanted to bother with.

Funkalicious posted:So I am bit surprised by the fact that I am not getting invaded at all. I have been doing a lot of sunbro'ing, hoping to be invaded while I wait, but I don't think I have been invaded at all. I used up the early cracked orbs and had no problems finding people to invade. Come on, where are all of the Darkwraith twinks at? Are you "Way of the White"? Clerics and Knights get auto-enrolled at birth in that clique and it significantly reduces your chances of being invaded. I rolled a Knight and have been invaded once - I got schooled, but whatever, it's my first time.

Leper Residue posted:I like the not being able to pause. A giant monster isn't going to wait patiently by while you sort through your bags looking for that badass sword and some herbs. It does rule, and is consistent with the design, but it is definitely a wake up call to the Skyrim set.

scamtank posted:Oh my gently caress I had no idea that stumbling the Iron Golem on the narrow walkway sends it tumbling down into the abyss and gives an instant victory. I was able to get him off kilter today and the same thing happened. It was definitely time for the wave emote. Just got past those loving archers in Anor Londo and feeling pretty good, which I am expecting to end when I figure out wherever the boss is. I am always surprised at the little things they do in this game (at least on your first playthrough when you don't know wtf). This morning I figured I would get the very large ember to ascend my STR weapon above +10, but the Firelink Shrine firekeeper is dead and gently caress New Londo without at least that bonfire to help me first time through. I poked my head in there a few times at a much lower level and didn't enjoy it. I am lead to believe I can rectify that situation eventually, which makes going for +15 a real risk prior. Well done.

Had a great weekend with a little time to play DS finally. This is my first playthrough. I was banging my head up against a wall with O&S, so I backtracked and did a few areas I had not been to yet. Killed Pinwheel and Gaping Dragon on my first attempt (both pretty easy, I admit), then thought I would go try Sif for the 30th time and got him right away too. Returned to Anor Londo in human form with a few more levels under my belt, cleared the area in front of the fog gate and summoned Solaire plus a really helpful dude. O&S were dead about 2 minutes later. It was awesome. I really enjoy this game. Hopefully I can get it finished before the PC version of DS2 arrives. Seems probable.

superh posted:The devs have actually talked about their process a lot, and it's not a last minute change. Demon's Souls was very similar, (and so were, to an extent, the King's Field games.) I didn't know this, and when I consider my experience with the story within that context, they seem to have achieved their goal. I often find/found myself wondering how things fit together, and while they draw some lines for you, many are there for you to wonder about yourself. I find the way they expose story is consistent with the way they expose the game and mechanics, which is not much. Also Man Serpent Great Sword +15 is the best sword, assuming you got the pipes for it.

PrinnySquadron posted:I'm trying but I'm so bad at it If you want to practise the knights in Anor Londo use most of the same attack patterns as Gwyn I believe. I was able to beat him without parry/riposte, it's just the easiest way to win, assuming you can do it reliably.

This feels really unfun. Either i try to block and get my stamina ruined, or try to parry and have roughly the same result.

Does anyone who gets summoned by boss at the Mirror Knight actually live for more than a few seconds? I've been Sunbroing there for a while, and when someone gets called in they are pasted in seconds - I imagine it might be fun if you get called in to a situation where someone is solo fighting the boss. Otherwise it looks like a waste of time?
