I will admit the controls can be a little fiddly. I'm still trying to reliably parry, riposte, backstab, kick, and jump attack. I'm guessing your big issue was against the Asylum Demon then? Or did you start playing on another person's save?

So, you at least got through the asylum. Up a staircase to an aqueduct / bridge then?
I love me some Minecraft, Noises. I'm trying to build a cathedral now that stained glass is on the XBox version.

I think so? I'm not sure but that sounds correct. I was flying through the first little bit then i hit that and just. I dunno man. Ragequit literally describes it

I have a near city, I even have an automatic wheat farm that is a villager running around planting seeds but since his inventory is full of seeds he can't pick up the wheat. Then a hopper minecart comes along and picks up the wheat and stores it.

ItchiUchiha117 says... #9
Sounds sweet, Noises. I wish I could do stuff like that.
Hm, yeah, VA, that can be difficult if you aren't careful drawing aggro. Easiest way to get through that is to draw the first two Hollows, the ones with only the cracked round shield, one at a time, kill them, go about 2/3 of the way up the stairs, wait until the other guy has thrown a bomb, torque it up past him to the one with an axe, kill him, kill the bomber, and then the guy at the top of the stairs should be pretty easy, as long as you guard going up the stairs. I know the feeling of the rage quit, I actually got stuck there the first time, too. I came back to it only recently, after a rather long time. It might not be too bad of an idea to try again.

I thought I was so good at Dark Souls when I beat the Asylum Demon without dying.
I was wrong.
so wrong...

I know the feeling. I rolled off the roof in my first try against the Gargoyles. I'd actually been doing pretty good and would have won if I hadn't done that. A suggestion for people that might be trying Dark Souls for the first time is to get the Short Bow and a ton of arrows from the Undead Merchant in Undead Burg (wooden will work and they only cost 3 souls each) and shoot the tail off the Hellkite Dragon. It gives you the Drake Sword, which is more powerful than most other things you can get that early. The only thing more powerful that you could get faster would be the Gravelord Sword. DO NOT TRY TO GET THE GRAVELORD SWORD! It is basically suicide until you git gud. If you decide to try anyways, get a couple Homeward Bones and look at a guide online.

I beat NG++ over the summer and Priscilla was very annoying (But I got her fluffy tail). The problem with the Drake Sword is that it can't be upgraded so it can get outclassed pretty quickly.
If you're playing DS on PC you need to get DS fix and a controller. The game is an absolute nightmare without them. Even with that mapping jump and roll to the same button really sucks.
August 20, 2015 4:35 p.m.
ItchiUchiha117 says... #13
I can't use DS fix, because my computer sucks and will likely crash if I try to use it. I do have a controller, though. Also, shame on you for attacking Priscilla. She's a very nice half-dragon lady that doesn't have any beef with you.
I actually am probably going on a run down into the Catacombs soon, so that I can grab Nito's Sick Sword. Just sprint past everyone until I get the Eyes of Death and go take a nap.

Vamp , how much more would you have gotten from the promotion? Also, if people find you not approachable, litterally say"Good morning how are you?" And plaster a fake smile on your face the moment you wake up, that's what works for me at school at least.

See that's a problem. I'm a genuine person. What you see is what you get. My attitude towards my job is low therefore my productivity sucks. I just need to find a better mood. Also I'm like...dangerously introverted but eh...i can deal.
The job wouldn't give me any extra pay but it would get me more training and that means more hours working

Well, Samson killed a ton of people with a jawbone, so a lot of jawbones should get you through Blightown(?)(one or 2 t's who knows) and other undead/assholery that DS has.

No, seriously, look at this thing.
It is made of skeletons and a giant version is used by Lordran's God of Death, Nito, First of the Dead, who is also made of skeletons. Shit's like a metal album.

Woah, woah, WOAH. The Dark Souls series, is like the ONLY series, ever, to successfully deliver one top tier game after another, in the 21st century. Mass Effect might be the only other, if we ignore the way the third game ended.
Demon Souls was a 9+/10, Dark Souls was a 9+/10, Dark Souls 2 was a 9+/10, Bloodborne was a 9+/10, and all the DLC for the games are all top notch. This isn't your average EA DLC.
You may not like the game play, but don't say it's a bad game. Because it's not. It's one of the best series to have ever been created.

ItchiUchiha117 says... #25
I have some level of beef with Dark Souls 2, but that's personal. I also have some beef with the community, i.e. the people whose only advice for the game is to say "gitgud." This is not proper advice.

The Souls franchise actually good? That's up to debate because a lot of the mechanics and controls could be said to be terribly designed and terribly made, but masked under the title of "this is a very hard game."
Other than that, I found the souls franchise pretty easy. What do you do? Run around in circles. Heal. Run around in circles. Stab an enemy in the back. Run around in circles. Hold up your shield for about 20 minutes. Run around in circles. Dodge roll off a cliff.
Your problem VampireArmy, could have been because you went into an area that was too strong for your level. Numerous times you'll find yourself running back and forth between the areas trying to find which area is the same level as you. And if you are like me, you'll end up beating areas far too sooner than you should have, realizing you did all that for nothing because you didn't grab an item to unlock something.

I you play the souls games with a consoul (their PC ports are atrocious) then the controls are fine. Dark Souls and the whole franchise are good because they are well designed. They level design is absolutely brilliant, it has an engaging world and the difficulty is up there which many players like. Dark Souls is also awesome because everyone plays the game differently. It isn't some linear BS like CoD or even a glitchy sandbox (to an extent) game like skyrim rather it is open world (after you finish the undead burg) and lets you make your own way (even if it kills you). However, DS isn't for everyone and some people will like it and some people won't. That's true for all games but for me DS is one of, if not the best, game I've played.

I also want to say just how much I fucking hate the women here in Vancouver. I can't even say "good morning" to a random female passerby as a male without them looking at me like I'm a predator or something. The bus is even worse as their attitudes when I sit near a woman or they sit by me because they don't want to stand is so fucking snobbish. Numerous times I've seen women just get up off their seats and go stand somewhere else whenever a man sits next to them.
Makes me really want to rush through my gender change, start dressing as whorish as possible, and just roam the streets yelling at these girls to learn to be more socially adept ... I don't even know really. Maybe I'll just yell at them to get their pussies fucked more often. I've been doing a bit of reading into this city and apparently it is very difficult to find a date in Vancouver, because of a lot of reasons a lot of very uneducated people are tossing about.
And no, I don't see much of anything in terms of general negative behavior men have towards women here. I'll probably find more about that once I get a new job that I can perform as a female without my work performance being reduced.

It is just Vancouver, and it dissipates the further you go away from Vancouver. Like, Kelowna wasn't like this. I could smile or say hello to a random female without getting the "you fucking rapist" glare.
The reasons I've heard so far are as follows:
- People here are too entitled as they are born into wealthy families.
- People here don't feel the need to feel responsible for their own behavior.
- Majority of the people here "hurt".
- Too many expectations.
- Nobody bothers to try and make new relationships.
- People are too engrossed in their cell phones.
- Too much cultural infamiliarity.
- People are too uneducated.
- Homeless people are much more forward in asking for change than any other city.
Not one thing about the media VampireArmy from any of these people, and I have no idea why it would be a reason for the media anyways. What the hell are your "other reasons"?
I do know that many cities in east Canada leave their doors unlocked and a random stranger can just walk right in if they desire. The thinking there is that you are being rude to your neighbors by not being open to them at all times.
My believe that Vancouver is not truly a part of Canada is getting strengthened the longer I live here.
