Dark Souls Discussion Thread

As I have only played the first Dark Souls I would love to know what you think of Dark Souls since you played Dark Souls 2 first. If you need any hints or tips for Dark Souls ask away.

Don't forget Ornstein & Smough. I don't even want to know how many times I died fighting them.

Same here, but for some strange reason I love that boss fight. It was intense!

Lol, I never even got that far.

Go into your Dsfix.ini file and search for "borderlessFullscreen" in the "Window & Mouse Cursor Options" section and enable it. it runs the game in a Borderless Window instead of fullscreen mode. that got rid of the tearing for me

I tried that, still does it though.

i saw a suggestion somewhere some time ago (wich i didnt try because the borderless option fixes that already for me) to set the fps limit in DSfix.ini to 65 and then enable vsync for dark souls in the driver settings.

I'll try that when I get home.

Well first things fisrt. You're going to want to get DSFix, get the newest version and unlock the framerate. 30 is default and cannot be unlocked without it. Also has graphical settings and crap.

Edit: People already told you this...

There can be only one dad :P
just finished makeing my first giantdad ready to go to NG+

Nice Zweihander, does it send people flying like is DS2? lol (the 2h r2 attack)

The Zweihander golfswing in ds2 was nerfed ages ago T_T (thay killed my tiger woods build http://gamebuilds.net/darksouls2/builds/22768)
The Zweihander has a didernt moveset in ds1 the 2 hand rolling attack is a rolling poke and the 2hand r2 is a slam atack that pancakes your foes not a 2 hand stab.

Ahh ok. Its kind of like the large club on DS2, I love pancaking things. So gratifying to just pulverize things into the ground.

The large club has a diffent moveset in ds1 too thay realy made most of the unique movesets boring in ds2 and the black knight weapons in ds1 where god like for damage and all had unique movesets in ds2 thay are terrible T_T

Damn, I need to play DS1 already, but DS2 on NG+ is just so much fun. When Scholar comes out I'm gonna do a Covenant of Champions run.

Well, during my play-through of Dark Souls 1, I learned that From Software will use anything to murder you, that even means butterfly's and trees.

Have you made it to Sen's Fun house yet?

Also, hopefully I'm going to be getting the Scholar of First Sin upgrade soon really excited to play the DX11 overhaul

Not I havn't made it to the Fun house yet. I'm currently in the depths. Decided to change up my build from above. It felt too much like my first DSII build. (tanky with shield). Now I'm moving more toward a rogue/ thief style. I havn't been able to ditch the axe/ shield yet. But I'm working on it.

Probably the most horrifying boss yet, but fairly easy to defeat.

Everything looks the same in DX11 still reused all the bad textures but now thay added bloom to everything and more enemy's everywhere the 'graphics update' is a joke tbh.
