    My current adventuring in dark souls is as follows;

    I went down a lift after finally beating another dark knight guy, found a drake, fought it for a few minutes and ended up killing it. Ran out into a bridge and got some spider-shield and shitty armour, ran away from 3 drakes. Went round the side of the cliff and found another devious drake on the small path so I decided to run past it because fuck off am I fighting it on there and found a HUGE ass dead dragon... I proceeded to loot the bodies around it whispering 'don't move don't move', obviously forgetting the cunt of a game I'm playing, the fucker moved, hit me once, I ran.

    Is it that hard to defeat the huge dragon? I'm currently past it in the New Lornado ruins or something like that feeling like I've skipped something important.
    There's actually a cheap tactic to melee him involving you hitting him once and running away, repeat 20 times. Or you can just kill him with lightning spears / fireballs / bow or whatever without ever getting hit.

    I got invaded twice in the ruins yesterday. The first time it was cool, we bowed and everything and I won fair and square. Then the second time I was getting raped by ghosts and the dude came in there and got the last hit and kept taunting me while I was dying. What a tool.

    Anyways, I think invasions are generally fucking stupid and I myself would never do it. I can get the appeal of a fair PvP fight, and I've enjoyed the few I've had, but in general it's just a bunch of assholes with gamertags like XxXMLGPR0420XxX who act like the guy I mentioned above.

    Usually when I get invaded I just quit to the main menu. Yeah, that makes me sound like a bitch, but so be it. I didn't sign up for that shit, I just want to fight bosses with other people.

    Can be for some enemys, Such as the tower knights in anor londo. But its not allways a good idea to be greedy with soul arrows.

    Oh, and if you get invaded, chances are you will die. Chances are that you wouldnt have enough time to cast anything when they charge straight into you.

    So I just finished Deus Ex HR and I'm looking for another game.

    Should I get Dark or Demon's Soul? Demon's Soul is the newer installment of the series right?

    No, Dark Souls is. I've never played Demon's Souls but I definitely recommend Dark Souls.

    If you have a PS3, Demon Souls isnt a bad place to start. But you can allways go straight onto Dark Souls if you happen to not have a PS3 but have a xbox.

    I killed a lot of them and got far in then like 9 ghosts appeared and I died leaving 13k souls in the room, I need to go back because with 10k souls I can make my drake sword (which does 200 dmg) even better with my dragon scale :(

    Somehow the edit didnt show up...

    The Drake Sword doesnt scale with stats at all, and it should last you till Anor Londo. I'd find a weapon you want to upgrade in the mean time.

    Well I got a Ps3.

    Why would you recommend Demon's Soul then? I also heard both games are pretty hard.

    Well, Demon Souls is the first game. It doesnt have some of the features that Dark Souls have. So the transition from Demon to Dark Souls should be easyer.

    At least when it comes to playing Dark Souls, you (kind of) know what your doing. Because you should have learnt some habbits from playing Demon Souls.

    The source is NeoGAF they got the PC port thing right first, but this new trailer doesn't show anything that proves it. Could just be the normal GfW banner, let's hope that's the case.


    Edited:

    Born as a forlon hope from fans, the request to ignite the First Flame on the brand new land of PC has grown stronger and stronger.
    Infused with the support from countless souls from around the world, the request has turn real.
    Dark Souls is coming to PC, and it is coming loaded with a lot of new content.

    Dark SoulsTM: Prepare to Die Edition will be available on the PC platform in Europe and Australasia on August 24th 2012

    The expanded take on From Software's acclaimed action RPG will support Games For Windows Live. There's been no mention of a console DLC release for the new content.
    Well... IF that's really true then I'll just skip this.

    There's been a lot of talk here about which weapons are and aren't good to upgrade. Rather than ask individually about each weapon, could someone give a list of weapons/armor that is worth upgrading? Especially early on, I think it would really help out the newer players.

    Personally I don't mind that it's on GFWL.

    What I'm more curious about is that giant hand of eyes thing in the trailer.

    If they go forward with GFWL they've lost my purchase, too many games are fucked over by that damn thing.
    They still have plenty of time to change their minds though, maybe there'll be enough of an uproar to make them get their act together.

    Didn't Arkham City have tons of other issues that had nothing to do with GFWL? Like the incredibly jittery cutscenes? That sounds more like a bad port to me.

    That petition is pretty bad, honestly. It lists these as the key reasons to take support off of it : GFWL is unpopular, difficult to use, inconvenient, has terrible online support (a key feature in Dark Souls), and is downright unpleasant.

    It's not harder to use in any way when compared to something like steam which everyone wants it on. It's also no less inconvenient to boot it up in-game compared to steam which has to be booted up before you even launch your game. And the terrible online support is the one that was kind of making me laugh. This game is already out on the 360, which uses a very similar system, and it works just fine there.

    If you don't know why GFWL is terrible, you don't have to sign the petition, but it is terrible. I personally have had so much trouble with it that I've vowed to never buy a game that has it, and I will stick to that even if it's Dark Souls.
