am I understanding these PC requirements properly? If I have a 750ti and a 3570k @ 4.2 I'll need to upgrade to at least a 780 in order to play dank butts 3? :smithicide:

Well if you are EST it's 6PM so it means you should be off work anyway unless you work the worst job in the world

I usually get home at 8pm EST...I get there at 8 in the morning and work till 7 at night.

The only reason I have off today is because I asked for the day off. I didn't even realize today was dark souls day until after the fact.

Also the game minimizes anytime another window on the screen opens, so if someone messages you, the whole game minimizes! amazing!

(also game seems to run at 30fps on a 750ti on high, but I'm not sure if I trust that steam fps counter, it seems more like 25)

-Xbox360 controller doesn't work. Based on the buttons on-screen, only an Xbox One controller will work, as the buttons referenced on the screen do not exist on the 360 controller.

-Xbox one controller does not automatically work with Windows 10 and its integrated Xbox experience.

-Not downloading DS4Windows because I'd like to play more than 30 minutes at a time before recharging the batteries.

-Of course, every time you turn on your Xbox One, there is an hour long process of updating the system hardware.

-System hardware on the Xbox One must be updated before the controller can be updated.

So, basically I made my character and I've been loving around with my controllers ever since, ready to rip out somebody's underwear through their throat.

I'm using a 360 wired controller just fine.

I have no idea where to go after firelink tho...uhhh?

Would you guys recommend that I do (areas after Road of Sacrifices spoilers) Cathedral of the Deep or Farron Keep first?

I did the latter and I do not recommend doing the latter until you get a lot of poison resist. Also latter's last boss will push forward some questlines.

The sounds are good but this reminds me: is the wind noise around firelink supposed to sound like it's constantly ramping up and then cutting off? I keep hearing that sound there, and in various other areas of the game, and I'm not sure if that's a bug or just an odd design choice. Just a constant whooooooooOOOOOOOSHHH-- sudden silence.

That seems to happen when you've selected something, or moved the "cursor" on what's selected. It causes its own noise, which seems to reset THAT noise.

I have no idea how that passed QA because it's loving annoying.

progession questions: (spoilers inbound)

should I finish (locations) cathedral of the deeps, then finish Farron keep, then head to catacombs of carthus or irithyll of the boreal valley? Not sure which one I should head to first. I'm assuming it's former then latter?

I've given (characters) irina the "pure" tome only, and saved onion knight by giving the person's stuff back, and patches is hanging around, greirat is still alive, but has not gone on his second adventure yet. cornyx is still around, sirris is nowhere to be found but I haven't joined "that" covenant, Yuria is around having replaced Yoel. And Orbeck has been given the two of apparently four things.

I'm assuming if I do (location) Farron Keep, then the (covenant) wolfclan goes away, right? Am I missing anything?

Tried to make it as ambiguous as I could. Trying to not gently caress up questlines.

Oh, another question: what's my deadline for taking Yoel's offer? He up and dies if you reach a certain point regardless, right?

Apparently it's Abyss Walkers being defeated.

Is this game as dog poo poo on PC as I'm reading?

I have a i5 3570k @ 4.2, and a 750 ti. I have to put it on mostly mediums, but it doesn't really change my fps much at all. Anytime the game saves or loads a new area the game hhiiiiiiitchhhhes the gently caress out, or when it's trying to load things in the distance and you turn the camera. Upper part of the deeps area on the rafters was so loving laggy.

So the wiki says I should be able to summon 3 dudes for the abyss watchers fight, but I only see gotthard. I can't find sirris' summon sign anywhere, and I talked to her and she liked me. She's also missing so I'm not sure what happened...

Didn't see her summon sign near the deeps either.
