From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

Just because other games are bad, doesn't make Dark Souls 2 any less bad. Dark Souls 2 is a bad game, and a worse sequel. I'm sure people were saying the same stupid shit when Dragon Age 2 came out "It's a bad sequel but a good game!".

 

Don't ever compare a Souls game to that filth that Bioshit produces.

 

Nah, its just you being a blind dumbfuck DS1 fanboy.

 

Just got eaten devoured as whole by one of them cyclops/troll hybrids
I wonder how he's going to digest my armor and halberd though

 

Do I blindly hate all Souls games, or am I a fanboy? Can you guys pick one caricature of me and stick with it?

 

If I have to explain to you why Dark Souls 2, which was produced by a new team and miraculously managed to not suck despite speculation of people being removed through power struggles and other business bullshit, isn't comparable to Gaider douche-shit and Hamburger Helper cumbucket of retardation that serve the Cthulhu Death Overlord know as EA that is the Eater of game-dev studios, then you are so far gone as a full retard moron there is no hope for you and you should seriously consider getting your balls cut off so you remove yourself from the gene pool and rid humanity of your plague-like stupidity.

If you're trolling then it's too obvious, 0/10.

 

One company has the life squeezed out of it by EA, the other NAMCO, it's the same shit; both franchises share the same stupid, overzealous, fanbase. it really is amusing to see the similarities between the two situations.

 

Cut your balls off.

EDIT: And the sensitive AngryEddy has put me back on his ignore list. What was that about disregarding other people's opinions?

 

So I tried some bell keeping. The fact that there was no wait to get called was really nice, but playing 2 or 3 versus 1 is not very fun. I would just hold back if there was already a guy fighting, but others had no such honor.

Ratbro is nice, especially since I'm running very gimmicky(moonlight butterfly ), but the waiting gets a bit long.

 

All Bellbros are bastards and will never play nice. All those years of being Forest ganked has made our hearts harden.

Ratbroing is fun. I try to encourage people to run through my gauntlet but some people don't bite. Makes me sad.

 

Honor? You're defending the fucking bell bro, there's no time for "honor".

 

You can also refer to them as Bell Clangers*.


(implies they are insane/retarded and only have the capacity to just bang on shit)

 

Actually you can.

Not like there's a lot of reason to defend the bell.

And yeah, seems bellbangers are all crazy lunatics.

 

Ok without spoiling the game, I'm getting the PC version. Is there a DSfix for DS2 yet, or does it not need a fix mod?

 

It needs a bit of fixing(mainly making guard breaks and jump attacks doable with mouse and keyboard), but it's actually a solid port. Playable in its current state.

 

If you want to play with mouse and keyboard check this thread:

You can use Autohotkey to remap mouse buttons to the keyboard equivalents and you're set. Here is mine :

In other news, damn, those knee-height obstacles are lulzy. Also, I just took the elevator from Lost Bastille (sea level) to Sinner's Rise (sea level).

THE RUBBLE IS TOO POWERFUL!

 

I'm going to be playing with a controller. I just remember DSfix optimizing the game for PC with some framerate fix and a couple other things so was wondering if that was needed for DS2 or did From Software fix it for PC version this time around? I remember the guy created DSfix in like a week after the release of Dark Souls.

I also haven't watched any gameplay videos and no nothing about DS2. No secrets no nothing. I'm going to play this game completely blind and offline so I get no hints from other players. It's going to be great.

 

It's very fun just to watch people run the gauntlet in doors of pharros after you activate all the traps. Some of them actually get pretty far. Most don't get past the first mastodon.

 

I haven't found any, but does that trick actually still work? Because looking doesn't seem to actual aim the spell vertically any more. You can fire it at the ground or forward, but not at any angles in between.

 

Man, I just can't get into the Souls games. I love their premise in theory, I love the art-design and the atmosphere. But honestly, that game just loses me after the 10th run through the same territory with the same skeletons and the same traps. I get the whole "learn from your mistakes and make a perfect run"-thing, but really, I'm bored extremely fast.

 

Meh, invading in this game ain't so cool when the damn cowards immediately summon 2 overleveled white phantoms to help :/
