Everything is great. Send me a graphic card so I can play it. Haven't played it since I melted it in the summer

 

[Beggar]

Ask me anything about DS1. I'm god there

did u lvl dex?

I level dex as soon as possible to 18 and leave it there

You shouldn't be telling people you're a dexfag. You should rethink your life

What a bunch of idiots. Reads one word and yells loudly. IT'S FOR THE BLACK KNIGHT HALBERD!

Oh no the Black Knight Halberd isn't even mentioned as much as "GET A BOW, ARROWS AND GET THE DRAKE SWORD. IT'S ALL YOU'LL EVER NEED" then you get summoned by some fag running with the Drake Sword and wonders why he needs to summon because he's hardly doing any damage

 

[Beggar]

Black Knight Sword is also great. I really like to go and create a new character>darkroot basin>take out the black knight and hope he drops black knight halberd>great hollow and kill for twinkling titanites>upgrade weapon to max at new londo ruins>tomb of the giants for a serpent ring and then smash smash everything till the end of the game with soul gain boost

I just went back and starting playing the first dark souls again and I was never really that good at the game so I found this guide really helpful.

 

[Elwro]

Creative!

Can't tell if that video is serious or mocking. Calls itself a tutorial for beginners yet it's clearly a high-leveled guy with 5x the health and stamina of the average starting character. You can see him eat a riposte and his health bar barely budges.

"Now that does split damage which is extremely useful in this game" - 4:20.

Just poking around the video and there's constantly stuff... off.

EDIT: OK, there's too much wrong. Great joke though. Just sort of subtly saying bullshit that sounds reasonable unless you've actually played Dark Souls.

I thought he was a troll -- he invented new names...

A better Remaster than Bamco's. And it's just one dude.

So a while ago I managed to get DS Remastered on PS4 for $18 used on ebay, so I went for it since the regular edition I have on steam has not been cooperating with my computer. I started one character and made it all the way to anor londo and beat O&S. That took about 5-6 tries until I somehow got straight up lucky. I have decided to try something else for the moment.

It was an interesting experience going into the catacombs at such a low level with an un-upgraded morning star as my main weapon. I think I may have had the luckiest experience in the catacombs ever though. I kept getting 1k souls randomly and the only enemy I know of in the catacombs that drops that many are the mages so I think a few of them offed themselves before I even got close. Then the last one I fought before vamos dropped the lantern. Now I'm taking a break for the night at andre and I have a fire zweihander. So far it's straight up hilarious.

Anyone tried this? I play DS like From intended, on a PS3, but if someone made some interesting changes to, say, Izalith, I'd be willing to check it out. (But yes, without new map assets this has to be difficult...)

• 
  

  [*]New game progression
  

  • Forget what you know about exploring Lordran. New world-changing events, key items, and unexpected pathways await you.

  [*]New bosses and enemies
  

  • Triumph in new boss battles, most of which are designed to promote novel gameplay rather than sheer increased difficulty. Encounter new enemies on your journey – including enemies restored from cut content – and watch many old bosses and enemies behave in new ways.

  [*]New NPCs and storylines
  

  • Meet new characters with brand new questlines, which will intersect in numerous unpredictable ways as your journey continues. Even the stories of familiar characters may take unexpected turns.

  [*]New weapons, items, and mechanics
  

  • Discover new weapons with brand new abilities, many of which will require keen insights and careful consideration to master. Most existing equipment will not be exactly the way you remember.

  [*]Expanded lore
  

  • Learn more about Lordran's past from new item descriptions and gameplay events. (All new content is written to build upon the lore of the original game, rather than conflict with it.)

  [*]New secrets
  

  • Don't expect to come anywhere close to unveiling all of the game's hidden content in one or two play-throughs.

Holy shit that looks like a total conversion mod. I think Rekindled and Reborn just shuffled up item and bonfire locations. This looks way more involved.

Yeah, Lost Alpha for STALKER also did.

I started it earlier and just called it a day after about three hours of playtime and I'm thoroughly impressed so far. The progression through the individual levels is different, you visit areas in a different order, there's already a bunch of new secrets, new items, new mechanics and new bosses. Granted, it's all old assets, but whoever made this mod got creative with it, without sacrificing the Souls feeling.

Take this all with a grain of salt, since I'm not very far into the game. Who knows, if the quality permeates throughout the entire thing, but so far, I'd recommend this to anybody who is a Souls fan.

tl;dr it's kinda like Scholar of the First Sin, except it's not absolute dogshit.

 

[Elwro]

Thank you very much. Do you really need to install this on top of the vanilla game? Can you use this DSfix people seem to like? (Only played the PS3 version so far.)

Thank you very much. Do you really need to install this on top of the vanilla game? Can you use this DSfix people seem to like? (Only played the PS3 version so far.)

You should start off with a fresh install. You can use DSFix, EDIT: You don't need DSFix, the mod comes with it prepacked but you should install it before unpacking it with this (you need to unpack it or the mod won't install) and then install the mod over it.

Also, according to the readme, your old vanilla saves won't work with the mod, and will become incompatible with vanilla.

 

[Steezus]

I think the mod backs up a bunch of shit, maybe even vanilla saves.

Also, make sure to grab the patch for the mod from the download files.

Yeah, it makes a pre-DoA backup, but it doesn't seem to back up your saves from what I can see. And thanks for the heads up, had no idea there was a new patch (I downloaded it a few days ago and only installed it today)
