Given that real life lava is so bright it sears your eyes into blindness merely from looking at it, Dark Souls is one of the few video games to actually represent it correctly.

Yeah for sure but it was ugly as sin, the horrible textures didn't help at all. I think this is one of those times were a video game can unrealistically portray something for the sake of the game itself.

No L3 to jump option :|
You can change it on PC. Haven't try PS4 yet. Both same, in controls setup, it starts on "Movement and Camera." Move right to "Gameplay" and remap jump by scrolling down.


Love helping people in UB with level 15 char using Lightning Uchi +5. I feel bad for all them invaders.

Thanks! Though I admit that bums me out pretty hard. So by choosing the theif class, I've already got the best weapon? That takes a lot of the fun out of the game :-s

Don't worry; it's not an easy mode weapon by any means, due to its short range, and you'll need to mix it up to fight enemies and bosses who don't bleed. I usually grab a Great Scythe or Quelaag's Fury Sword by the late game if I'm doing a Bandit's Knife run to offset its weaknesses.

BLACK KNIGHT HALBERD DROP FIRST TRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY. It fell upon me on my very first playthrough of Dark Souls years ago, and so it is, it has returned to me on my first playthrough of the remaster. For it knows its master. And oh, is master pleased to see thee again.

So PC version first Lizard gave me two chunks and two twnkiling. Xbox version only two Twnkling. I thought the PC version was too generous, guess I was right. :(

Wish I didn't have to go to work today. I'm sure the kids can teach themselves by now...

One question - if I'm doing multiplayer, is it my PSN name that shows up or the name I've chosen in game? My name here and on PSN aren't the same and would love to bump into someone from here!

Got this thing as well yesterday. Goosebumps all over again. Out-parrying the first black knight on my first try felt so good. Can't believe I still got it after playing DS2 for the last 2 months (where parrying is pretty much useless because of how long it takes).

2nd black knight with his god darn great sword gave me more issues because he is so much harder to parry but eventually I downed him as well.

Like the remaster overall. Playing this on 60 fps feels so good. Have the PC version as well but after dropping through a couple of walls I went back to 30 fps there, so this will be pretty much the first time I finish the first DS with 60 fps.

The default is your character name but you can change it to your PSN name in the options.

Rolling pyromancy for the first time in a souls game. No idea what goes into a good pyromancy build but I'm just kinda rolling with it.

I don't want to do toooo much research because it's kinda fun not knowing stuff and just figuring it out but I do have one question. From what I understand damage from pyromancies doesn't scale with anything and is fully dependant on the spell, is that true?

I don't have a picture but it's toned down but not by much. It's still pretty neon. The pools don't have as much of a glow but the lava running down the walls is still bright.

I haven't played this game in 7 years, so when I got to the Bell Gargoyle, I said to myself in my head, "I'm pretty sure there's a second one that shows up. Right?" As this thought occurred to me, the second one drops in. Dammit.

Are you not supposed to be at the graveyard near firelink shrine at the start? Took forever to lure and kill all the skeletons to loot the place. I did like no damage to them.

Just buy your spells and upgrades. There is no pyromancy build, but high poise will obviously help with casting high level stuff.

Yeah I guess "pyromancy build" doesn't really mean anything. It seems like it will actually just be a dex build with pyromancy as an option, which is cool enough.

I spend a lot of time in character creation just trying to make a person look like an actual human. For some reason the 'random' option just seems to pump out various versions of the kid from deliverance.
Also make sure to hit the "create similar" button a lot with the slider a bit up, it creates creatures from hell!

Developer tests tend to be trippy for what I've seen lol but its weird that this version has them. I guess QLOC took a dev version of the game and forgot to take them out. It also makes me wonder if the Bloodborne map was in those DS1 versions...
I can only imagine that if it did, it would have been found by now.

Hows this running on an og ps4 and slim? Probably gonna pick it up after e3

Rock solid 60fps so far, about to enter Blighttown from the Depths side. The are some strange textures in this last one, particularly with the obstacles on the ground.

Sound seems to have some strange issues, where sometimes i think it cuts the music. Also some npc's voice's seem a little muted, even with the volume up.
