goddamnit names are a pain Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Dark Souls Discussion Thread Obviously this includes the second game as well. I absolutely LOVE this game series and have mostly been impressed with II so far, but I do have some issues with it I'll discuss later. So anyway post stats/favorite weapons/bosses etc on both games and discuss it. Feel free to post what system you have it on and if you play it online. So Yeah. Prepare. To. Die. a lot more than you'd like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 From your experiences, would you say Dark Souls II has been easier or harder than the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I recently beat the Gargoyles and I'm proud of myself. Of course that dude you summon did most of the damage. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 From your experiences, would you say Dark Souls II has been easier or harder than the original? Ehhh they are tied so far maybe. DSI was freaking hard and while DSII is I already have the experience from DSI. Also some stuff in Dark Souls II seems easier to get than in One. I recently beat the Gargoyles and I'm proud of myself. Of course that dude you summon did most of the damage. >_> lol you could summon 2 guys But yeah Solaire (I assume) is freaking amazing. I'm throwing Lightning Spears in both games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think that was him. He just tanked while I ran away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'd love to play it, that and Dark Souls & Demon Souls. Those games are right up my alley to play. Praise the Sun \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Except- I never played Demon Souls That game looked awful. Graphics, mechanics, etc seem really really bad when I watched my bro try to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrensolX Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Dark Souls Discussion Thread Prepare. To. Die. a lot more cheats than you'd like OMG this games... its sooooo cruel!

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 So what build do you go for? Quality, Faith, Strength, Int, or Dex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 So what build do you go for? Quality, Faith, Strength, Int, or Dex? I go for Strength being primary with Dex, Health, Stamina/Equip Load all getting some balance. I mean my strength was at like 25 while HP Dex Load and Stamina were at 20. But that was Dark Souls two. Dark Souls one? Strength and HP were largest by far but those were still second. And then after a while I start adding Faith. Then Intelligence. For example while my strength was still at 25 I suddenly found my faith from 5 to 36. xD I love the miracles and pyromancies. Spells are neat too but I see them in a different light.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I had a Guts build going but I just couldn't beat the Hydra, and I ended up aggroing a shit ton of NPCs. I'm probably going to restart and just go Wanderer since I usually prefer rolling to blocking attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to restart and just go Wanderer since I usually prefer rolling to blocking attacks uh you never HAVE to fight the hydra ever you can but it's not even a boss Also Dark Souls One is harder than Dark Souls II. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 NO MAN I HAVE TO BEAT HIM I CAN'T LET HIM JUST LIVE. Also I was double cursed. Should've mentioned that xD. Just restarted and I'm currently in the Burg. Is it easier as in less clunky or easier as in less enemies? (interface vs gameplay?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh m8 guess what there are two hydras in the game lol And DSII felt easier because I feel they give you a TON of Souls for stuff also i'm used to dark souls finally i took the hard route first without realizing it. it felt easier afterwards =P In addition it just feels like getting the teleport feature at the beginning makes the game too easy.

Have you tried uping the difficulty by joining that one covenant & using the item that increases the difficulty of enemies around the area of a bonfire?

I'm not joining the covenant but I will use the Bonfire Ascetic. Eventually. I mean don't get me wrong both games were dang intense as hell, and the enemies in Dark Souls II are WAYYYYY stronger but Dark Souls I was much harder to navigate and find all the hidden things in.

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Shit I'm at the Capra demon, but my current play-style is completely different from when I fought him last time ;_; I had heavier build with an upgraded Zweihander, but now I'm going Wanderer with the Scimitar. I can't dodge this guys dog things to save my life yo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murphy ☆ Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 This game will eat you, kill you, suck you in, make you addicted and you will have to spend significant parts of you life I hope my wife does all of this. I hate these games. I constantly have to make new files because of constant deaths. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Capra demon was a dick I admit. But power build was easy enough > < Plunge attack etc and Doom you are one of the many suckers who replays because they die alot dun do it man its dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 No man you don't understand, I aggro'd nearly everyone at firelink, the female undead merchant, and I was double cursed, meaning I had a quarter health and no way to undo it. EDIT: I thought you were talking to me about the whole new file business. But yeah my plunge attack isn't nearly as powerful, so I'm going to go learn some miracles and/or sorcery and maybe get some nice dosh at Darkroot first.

Uh and I was kinda talking to you. =P You don't need those NPCs to beat the game sooooo.... And cursestones can be bought, last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well I couldn't make it to Firelink without being killed, I aggro'd the female undead merchant, and Oswald was being protected by the horde of pink dudes, making it impossible to reach him on just a quarter healthbar with my tank build (like one of their heavy hits killed me >.>). THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO GET THE CURSESTONE THING BRO IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. IF ANYTHING ELSE HIT ME JUST ONCE I GOT KILLED END OF STORY. Of course I was offline the entire time I played it that time, so since then I believe a new patch prevents curse from stacking, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
