From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

[Kanedias]

How is the Executioner's Chariot boss fight after you pull the lever? I only saw him in a video and the player died immediatly afterwards, killed by the two horses. And the quality was lacking.

I was real worried about the art design but, gotta say, I dig the new look. Seems pretty classy. Reminds me of King's Field almost

The multiplayer features didn't work for me, but a lot of people seem to be saying that the summoning/invading stuff stopped working 30 minutes into the beta, which is when I started playing so I guess that explains it.

I can't find really good discussions of the beta on the web. When you're talking about "a lot of people (...)", are you talking about some forum or a chat?

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

you can parry with two handed weapons and you can dual wield- two two-handed weapons chest with actuall traps, necromancers that respawns, black phantoms ganking squads, also if you are to close to enemy while wielding a halberd your character will hit him with haft not the blade dealing less damage, so much new shiiiiiitttttttttttttttt

there is always "discussion" on 4chan in /vg/. there is darks souls/demons souls general thread

 

[dunno lah]

"if you are to close to enemy while wielding a halberd your character will hit him with haft not the blade dealing less damage"

I was thinking about the threads on Something Awful, Neogaf and also Badgame iirc

You have to fight the horses once you fuck up the chariot, they have melee and ranged attacks (magic). the latter is quite powerful

Is that so?

 

[Nicolai]

Other way around, I'm afraid

 

[Elwro]

2 things I remembered: the voice of the merchant lacked the special hollow quality of the first two DS games. Also, Pursuer's Greatsword's description said something about how it "belonged to a horrible man, but now is not the time to talk about him" :D

 

[Heresiarch]

OMG DE HIPE

 

[pocahaunted]

Gotta say playing the D2 beta on the PS3 was mildly disappointing. I was playing like shit, though, but the framerate and UI's unresponsivenes surely didn't help. It got a lot better when BPs started showing up, though, but by the nthe time was up.

 

[Elwro]

What are BPs? Any way, performance on my PS3 was very good, and the graphics were improved.

edit: ah, Black Phantoms I guess.

 

[pocahaunted]

Yes, Black Phantoms.

Very good? Are you serious? I guess I'm spoiled since I played DaS mostly on PC...

 

[Zep Zepo]

I think some of the changes they have proposed for Darks Souls 2 are not that good, especially since they did not address balance with those changes. Just more "multi-player" faggotry.

Yeah. Very good for PS3, that's right. There were quite a few parts in Dark Souls with framerate worse than the one in the beta. And I don't think I had any slowdowns, which happened in Dark Souls from time to time.

Granted, but I still think it fell short of expectations (they might have been unreasonably high to begin with). Can't really compare one segment to a game, Undead Parish also runs decently on the PS3.

For a game like souls, experiencing framerate drops during combat is really not appealing.

People did SL1 runs on DeS.
