I kept up my shield, I went slow. I feel I was behaving very cautiously. I won't pretend I knew jack shit about the combat though. I did my best. Maybe if I watch a walkthrough it'll open my eyes to what I did wrong.

Can someone tell me what you actually lose when you die, that green blob thing that you can pick back up? How bad is it if I don't wanna go back there to pick it up? I think the game just called it power or something. I tried to look up some tips and directions but it's too much. I should just stick to western RPGs.

I'm the worst.

Just reading through your responses brought me back to my first moments with Dark Souls. I heard so much about it and thought I was ready for a challenging game. The game played way differently than I was expecting. A couple of hits can kill you, stamina is taken on almost every action, and it all felt klunky or archaic. I would play for 30 min to an hr and have to turn it off lol.

One day after - all that initial dying - I began to learn enemy patterns, the timing/range of my weapon and the importance of weight/speed. Once I got to the blacksmith I can officially say I really began to like the game.

Quick question are you playing on the PC?

Also, what class were you playing as? That can have a huge impact on a first playthrough.

There was a moment when one of them attached his antenna thing to the other one and drained the life out of him and then the other one just died and floated to the top and then I went to Electronics Boutique to return it.

you should be pyromancer...pyromancy spells are really useful in dark souls and you dont need to spend levels on it like you do w magic or miracles for better spells

Wanderer's not bad, fairly balanced starting out. I started out as a Pyromancer on PS3, though I may start over on PC with a Sorcerer or Cleric. Or maybe not.

Next time i play I want to do a strength/sorcery build

I never really did strength...I want to get smough's hammer, you get his buttslam move if you craft it. But you have to have like, level 50 strength to use it

I'm not much of a strength only type player, but a hybrid build does seem fun. I really liked the Pyromancer, but kind of had to restrain from spamming fire spells as they are pretty powerful once you get the better ones. The Cleric has always interested me and I dig magic users, but I I'm not sure if I'm up for a Sorcery only playthough. I've been putting off kicking up another RPG from my library and all this recent talk I think has me setting some up for the holiday. Probably do a 'quick' run through a rebuilt Skyrim then buckle down for some Demon/Dark Souls.

Edit: and regarding weapons...I loved my Lightning Claymore, but I think my favorite was my Divine Balder Side Sword. You don't want to know how long it took me to farm that thing.

Edit 2: Which is something else I love about Dark Souls. The fact that all the different weapons have different move sets. That, IMO is so cool.

Edit: Another tip is you really need to think about how you level your character...different weapons have different scales. For a beginner, a good weapon to use is just buy a scimitar from the vendor in undead berg. Then get the drake sword (watch a video on how to do that). Focus on leveling up your dexterity, and level up your strength just enough to use the drake sword. In the mean time, start upgrading the scimitar - it has a decent scaling w/dexterity and a quick moveset, which is good for beginners because it gives you more time to rebound from a mistake than the laborious swings of a hammer or a great sword. About midway through the game, you can use a certain boss soul to turn the scimitar into a sword which makes the rest of the game a (relative) cakewalk
Click to expand...
That's too much information to give a new player, discovery is a large part of what makes Dark Souls good. The Drake Sword is something of a beginner's crutch, and the method most new players use to obtain it is practically an exploit (not actually, but very few low level players would actually think to get it without being told)

To anyone starting the game: It's understandable to look up basic tips about how game mechanics work but if you are looking up videos how to find special weapons on your first play through, I think you are doing yourself a disservice.

If you're in human form there, you can summon somebody right outside the fog wall to help you - makes that fight much easier

Yeah I wouldn't do that normally, but if they're about to give up on the game throwing them a major tip might cheat a bit but get them on the right track without completely spoiling the game.

So, you were still in the Undead Asylum (starting area)? I nearly gave up on Dark Souls while in the starting area, but decided to plod on. Once you get to Undead Burg and get some better gear it gets immensely better.

Edit: Also, the game forces you to learn enemies and their attack habits and patterns. This is not a hack and slash game by any means. The combat definitely requires a certain amount of skill as blocking, parrying, dodging and attack timing are all important to implement.
Click to expand...
Maybe my problem is worrying about losing souls. Should I just not sweat losing souls to bosses? Is part of the fun supposed to be learning the boss patterns?
 
Dark Souls easy mode = tank

It makes the game a joke. Just tap the swing button and murder everything. Get hit? Doesn't matter because you are a tank. Didn't even know how to parry until the final fight. Not as fun as learning everything, but can help when you get stuck to the point of wanting to quit.

Calling it fun can be subjective, but unless you already know what to do, it's almost certainly a necessity to study boss encounters. And yeah, I had to forget about my soul count when approaching bosses. What I would do is if there was something I needed the souls for, I would just grind the amount I wanted, use them, then go for the boss knowing I'd likely fail a few times.

 
9 times out of 10 most bonfire runs to bosses are incredibly short after you've unlocked all of the shortcuts in a level so if you have a considerable amount of souls you should be spending them. If you've cleared the entire area and are approaching a boss with several levels worth of souls, go level up at the bonfire, and do a boss run. Most enemies on the way are easy enough to avoid. That way you're fighting bosses with close to zero souls and you don't have much to worry about if you fail beyond the walk back.

I'm a ginger. Not only that but sunlight makes me sick. As little as 20 minutes of strong sunlight is enough to make me sick. I have to be quite mindful and plan accordingly. So if you're asking me what I've got against the sun...

This. When you aren't carrying many souls/humanity you don't have much to lose. I'd try to spend/grind to afford before boss fights so that my losses would be minimal.

New Borderlands 2 Shift Code like Gimmick:
 
LootTheWorld (Android, iOS) is a new Mobile app that lets you shoot QR codes to get a (mobile) inventory of BL2 loot, you'll then need stamps (also a QR code reward) to move that loot into your game.  It seems like they will be tweeting special QR codes (sorta like shift codes) to redeem.  Example (expired)
 
I just tested this with my 2013 Nexus 7 successfully.  Shooting random QR codes from google images turned up mostly whites and a couple greens.  I imagine the main use is for redeeming the new QR shift-like codes.

iOS link keep breaking, this is it

Thank you men.

^^^ since you're playing on dark souls on pc I wanted to know if you're using a controller and are you using the dsfix? I feel both are crucial for having fun with this game. For the first half of my first play through I used a spear+shield combo as it allowed me to guard and attack simultaneously. Help me survive until I got a decent amount of lvls and could afford a hit or two while trying out parries/rolling.

On topic:

I didn't make it to the winter sale :(

gave in on amazon's skyrim sale...will be sad if the winter sale is much better.

The app seems interesting. I also scanned a bunch of random codes and was worried about filling up the app's inventory, thinking that the only way to get rid of an item would be to use a stamp. Turns out that you can easily delete an item by swiping it away.

Have you tried scanning your own QR Code? I'm wondering if you get better loot from those and how many scans they're valid for.

EDIT: Orcz has some purple, e-tech, and legendary codes up already.

Thanks for that, no not yet. Some smaller QR codes aren't recognized. The app makes self-checkout scanners feel user friendly... I can't seem to get it to like anything on the orcs page.
 
Like I said before, I don't post in here as often, but I'm gonna pop in and drop keys every once in a while and dish out a few likes here and there. It's the least I can do.

Nod. And a few odd games save into their steam-install folder (e.g. Sleeping Dogs). The reason I use Dropbox is so that I can (1) roll back game saves to any point in the last 30 days, and (2) easily sync across 'puters (better than steamy cloud).

Gamesave manager is a useful supplement to dropbox for my purposes, not a replacement.

That is a brilliant idea. Seriously. Thanks for mentioning this. I've struggled with steam cloud saves not syncing between PCs before and everything would be backed up as well. Hallelujah. :bow:

I missed all of this in real time, but that was a very creative way to drop codes. Those hints were awesome sauce. Surprisingly I think I could answer all of them. Which might be a sign that I read this thread far too often, for better or worse. :whistle2:

I wrote this post about my favorite FF games in the PSN thread... only to be ridiculed quite quickly for writing such a long post :( Oh well, that's why I post mostly in here. :)

As for non-mainline FF games, Crisis Core is probably my favorite, followed closely by FF Tactics and Mystic Quest. I don't know why... Mystic Quest, as dumb as it was, holds a special place in my heart.

Great overviews. I tend to agree with your thoughts here. Although I did like FFVIII probably more than most people. It's been so long since I've played any of those that I'm not sure why, but it's probably all just nostalgia related reasons now.

Mystic Quest... Holy smokes. I think that has to be my favorite non-mainline FF game. For some reason that game would error/freeze on my SNES more times than I could shake a stick at. I even had my SNES "repaired" just so I could get back to playing MQ. I remember buying it around Halloween of '92 and saying screw trick or treating I'm playing this.

Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross were great too.

I never played Crisis Core though. I heard good things about it but at the time of it's release (2007) I hadn't played a FF game in years. I still haven't played one since. Sad. Too much backlog goodness now.

The Final Fantasy series is where I first unknowing realized what grinding was all about (no, not that kind :shame:, THAT kind came later in life). I believe I averaged about 65-70 or so hours a play through for most FF games, good grief. I did develop a good multitasking system eventually.

{Sigh} I should've listened to my parents, "Turn that DAMN thing off and study!"

All the Squeenix talk in this thread made me start playing Chrono Trigger DS. :lol: Just played it for six hours straight. First time playing the first game, and it's awesome. DS mode with its touch screen makes getting through menus so much easier.

I also agree about Mystic Quest. The last time I played it, I glitched a monster arena and was level grinding my way to 100. Something about if you take out the last enemy and die at the same time, you wake up at the Inn and you glitch the arena to have 255 battles. Then just set your turbo controller on, and bathe in the tears of your enemies. >:)

What does Valve give you if you own all of that stuff already?

Ok, I can answer this now.. the games got added to my account today. You get extra copies for Half Life 2/Episodes, and maybe Portal, but not anything else. I had previously gotten extra copies for most of those, so I only got an extra gift copy for Half-Life 2 today. Now I don't know what to do with it. Who doesn't have HL2 already?

EDIT: I think I'm missing some titles that they were supposed to have added. I don't have CS Go, or CS Condition Zero yet.

EDIT 2: I'm missing Left 4 Dead 1 as well, I checked a profile for another participant and he was missing a huge chunk of valve games. Hopefully they all get added later. They promised "all valve titles" lol.

EDIT 3: Beatbuddy is missing, I'm sure they're not done adding games yet.

I'll take your Steambox. You're not gonna use it anyways.

 
My thoughts on the Final Fantasy series:  It is a love-hate relationship.

I remember buying Final Fantasy one on release day.  I saved up money from allowance and odd jobs to get it and made my mother drive me to the store.  I played the shit out of all summer.  FF1, along with the old AD&D Gold Box Series, was my first jump into RPGs.  Loved them.  Played the first one SEVERAL times.  I actually didn't play another FF until VII came out.  It was a radical change for me, not so much because of the jump to 3D polygons, but more so because it left the old style fantasy for something that had a more sci-fi feel.  I didn't like it at the time.  I do now though.

VIII was okay.  It had a weak villain though.  IX wasn't bad.  Like somebody said previously...a bit too juvenile.  XII was a travesty.  XIII was okay.  Haven't played XIII-2. 

I'm waiting for the re-release of X and X-2.  I played a little bit of X and remembered liking it.

I didn't play VI until way late but I LOVED it.  Kefka was awesome.  So was the opera house scene.

Crisis Core was really good.  Emotional ending for sure.

To be honest, my absolute favorite Final Fantasy game is the PSP remake of Tactics (War of the Lion).  What a great freaking game!
