From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

[DramaticPopcorn]

Gaping dragon is not hitbox issue it's that aoe attacks have damaging effects lasting longer than visual effects

 

[UndetectedButthurt]

AoE, Shockwave... Whatever you want to call it, both games have it. Any kind of "OMG I shouldn't have been hit there" is enough for people to start bawwwing about hitboxes in DaS2.

 

[Murk]

my favorite part of that whole thing (I did my fair share of bitching too) was when someone tried to argue that the hit boxes are fine, but it is the 'hurt boxes' that are broken

at which point i recalled that the internet has pornography and proceeded to spend my time much more productively

[UndetectedButthurt]

The worst part is when I "Decapitate" they "Duel Bow" back...

It just ruins my 420mLgPrOsCoPiNg swag.

New trailer for Scholar of the Cash Grab (ShitSpot link)

Spoiler

http://www.gamespot.com/videos/dark-souls-ii-scholar-of-the-first-sin-forlorn-hop/2300-6423229/

It certainly looks like they're putting more effort into the marketing/trailers than the actual content.

Pursuer in Things Betwixt, Flexile Sentry at Sinner's rise and Vengarl in Tark's pit.

DEEPEST LORE

 

[Akratus]

You call that effort? Pssh.

Scholar of the first Sin

Waiting for Dark Souls II - The Final Director's Cut Third Edition* to get the E3 2013 graphics.

*Not online compatible with Dark Souls II or Dark Souls II: Scholar of the first Sin. Pricing TBA.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Newsflash: Those assets and lighting don't actually exist for the entire game. There will never be a version of DS2 that looks like the E3 demo.

Shameless cashgrab is still a shameless cashgrab, though.

Sigh. That demo looked really cool though. The walk to Mirror Knight's boss fog was really well presented and enemies were much tougher. I still fondly remember playing it as a standalone experience entirely, completely different from DS2 itself, despite same areas T_T

 

[Jaedar]

Is there a confirmed price point yet?

 

[Lyric Suite]

So can anybody explain exactly what this is? Is it a rework of the basic game, or just new shit plus a graphical uplift?

DX11 mode nad rising coop/invasion player count

And thats it

All other extra stuff will be patched into the base game

GOTY all-in-one DLC edition that comes out in April. Slightly improved graphics/multiplayer, changed "enemy placement" and a new NPC to improve the story or some shit.

People who own the game/dlc already get a free patch with the NPC in a few days.

Are those supposed to be updated graphics? It's been a while since I played but I really can't tell the difference.

Edit:

Or..??

TBH they always show shit screenshots. But yeah, DX11 is just that - it's not going to bring back any E3 graphics shit. The new trailer shows AT LEAST a different color scheme? The first part in Majula and fighting Vengarl look really different. It could be just video editing though.

Pursuer in Things Betwixt, Flexile Sentry at Sinner's rise and Vengarl in Tark's pit.

DEEPEST LORE

What´s more, one of the screenshots also shows Heide´s with chilling actual Heide knight!

I wonder if all of the above changes are really "next-gen" exclusive, especially considering the phantom shown at Aldia and Copse (apparently using new scythe and greatsword) looks suspiciously similar to the box art dude who´s likely tied to the new story content and as such probably will be featured in the upcoming patch.

At any rate, the DX11 version needs to come with a significant discount for owners of DX9 version, will be pretty awkward if it doesn´t.
