Will demon souls be ported to PC? I don't care about weebo dex souls aka sekiro.

 

[Average Manatee]

"remake" rather than "remaster", does that mean there will be changes?

If it's like their recent shadow of colossus remake the graphics will be completely changed but mechanics will be the same.

Talking about Tomb of Giants in other thread and I realized it's one of the few levels that still makes me dread even after so many playthroughs.

I've been playing this for 8 years and only now I have learned that Ingward moves to Firelink when you talk to him after defeating 4K.

Also, Avelyn + 14 (I have no slabs left) is awesome. You can cut off the Hellkite Drake's tail in 3 shots (doing this for the achievement) and it seems to surprise people in PvP...

you don't have to explain yourself, drakesword is a prestigious weapon

 

[Silverfish]

Prestigious, but also weirdly underrated. It got stuck with that "noob weapon" label by a tryhard community (I'm as guilty of this as anyone) and is now usually ignored despite being a fantastic choice for a solid third of the game.

 

[Elwro]

But that Avelyn. Oh boy. I've never used a crossbow properly in all my playthroughs. Turns out that sudden switching to Avelyn combined with hard bolts is surprising enough for me finally to be decent in PvP...

In my first playthrough I gave up using it when it broke in Anor Londo, and used the astora straight sword as my main weapon.
Now on my 2nd playthrough this was the only set I used once I first reached the vendor in the undead burg: hard leather boots, hard leather gloves, elite knight helm, chainmail vest, heather shield, fireball and then I got back to the asylum and got my sweet Black Knight Sorwd. And that was fun playthrough.

This is news to me.

What does he tell while there?

nothing, he just complains that the bright light hurts his eyes and that he wants to relocate back to new londo ruins.

What happens to Ingward if you're playing at 1080p though?

 

[Silva]

Nothing, he just complains that the bright light hurts his eyes and that he wants to relocate back to new londo ruins.

Then I did right by putting him out of his misery.

And Elwro: Avelyn is for pussies.

Until you begin NG+, in which case it begins to fall off quickly because it has no scalings.

 

[Silva]

Watching the latest Vaati stuff on YT, I realize how DS1 has one of the best worldbuilding in all games period, and even inside the series.

Another thing where it's unsurpassed is in the fusion of theme+gameplay, where most gameplay features echoes some lore shit or vice-versa.

Never played Demons Souls though. Is it as good as DS1 in these respects ? I guess not?

 

[Elwro]

No, it's not. It's an amazing game but the levels are too disconnected for proper worldbuilding to be possible.

The original version had the problem that half of the content (by which I mean, of course, NPCs and item descriptions) wasunavailable due to factors outside of the player's control (world tendencies). This is the single thing that the remake needs to fix...

 

[Elwro]

I just realized I still haven't got the channelers' trident for the achievement. Jesus fuck that's annoying

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

If you think that's bad, try completing Dark Souls 3.
That ring achievement is an absolute whore. Especially when it involves not only getting max rank with all covenants, but also beating the Nameless King on NG+++

 

[The_Mask]

If I got a +3 dragon bro, I can do anything.

This is rather funny, "hey guys I discovered this amazing secret in the dark souls game! This old man moves up with me and constantly complains he wants to go back hide under a rock! I'm glad I didn't miss this, even though the old man sure is missing his shithole"

I agree. I did many playthrough and even a SL1 run and Tombs is the only place I'm still unsure of the layout, if I explored everything in it, etc.

Elwro thanks for sharing I didn't know either lol.

I had to memorize it perfectly to finish a 100% no death run and now, after more than a year, I'm still confident that I could go through the Tomb of Giants with my eyes closed. Playing pure melee, the room with the giant skeletons orgy was one of the biggest obstacle in the entire run and I had to plan my build to tackle that more than any boss in the game.

"Oh, hello. The sunlight made me wince, and now I've come back to this dark hole! So what brings you here? I will help you in any way I can."

He is not talking about going back. He is probably referring to the difference between NLR (which was a town), and Firelink which is a tiny place inbetween other places. He is also not upset, but actually quite happy to be helpful going forward.
