Wow, so you can't play this like DS3 huh? I mean, I knew you couldn't but I tried anyway. It doesn't work.
I've played through the start of DS many times over the years. With the remaster, I'm noticing that enemies in the Undead Burg are basically long jump/warping to me with incredible speed. Was it always like this?
Playing at a stable 60fps almost makes the game feel like it's not actually Dark Souls. But it's a welcome change.
Havel got me twice right after I worked him down to a sliver of health but I finally got that bastard.
Now I'm just spending time helping people in the Undead Burg, throwing lightning bolts at the Minotaur. It feels good to play a Soulsborne game where they didn't nerf miracles into uselessness.

Still find it hilarious that a plunging attack from the Black Knight Sword OHKOs Taurus Demon. I know this is surely common knowledge now but I never actually used the BK weapons that early before (usually didn't have the stats requirements and didn't grind for them or anything) so I didn't know it was a OHKO.
Nah, not at all. I wasn't even planning on "farming" it, I just got super lucky. For a first playthrough don't worry about it.
Pretty much, though it's going to feel different if you previously played on consoles with framerates at 30 or lower.
damn i'm already noticing some little areas i never discovered before. i was gonna pass on this but glad i didn't. i'm realising i didn't get the full experience.
the game is great but i just wish they had updated the textures a bit more. it's a little rough to look at but not having to mess about with DSfix is a huge bonus.

BK weapons are ridiculous in terms of damage. They're too slow for serious PvP play, but when it comes to regular enemies, they utterly destroy.
If you put you summon sign down, can be in human or undead, someone else can call you into their game to help them.
If you want someone to help in your game, you need to be human and just click on someone else summon sign.

So I can't summon once I beat the area boss right? I just got to blighttown and I can't find anywhere to summon help. I got myself into a pickle, there's 50k souls a little ways in and I doubt I'll be able to retrieve them alone
Yes, you can't summon after beating the area boss. Since you just got to blighttown, I would assume you haven't kill the area boss yet. Summon for that place are usually found front of boss door or closest bonfire.
A friend of mine just sent me this link after I mentioned the sound issue in Undead Parish I had in the Network Test to him. He apparently randomly checked out a video and noticed no ambient sound either, this being Lost Izalith. Just compared and here's the difference:
PS3:
PS4:
I know he's talking over it, but it's still obvious. Unless some volume setting is turned down and/or this is a different version.
PS: How are dudes like this who have dumped literally countless hours into this game not noticing this and calling it out?

Already found a vagrant!
To whomever died in the Tomb of Giants: Thank you, got a twin humanity from it and I really needed some.

That's exactly how I started my current run. Very easy. If you're not familiar with the Catacombs youtube "Dark Souls great scythe early" and you'll be set.
Wish they adopted Dark Souls 2's small white soapstone system where you can summon helpers for a limited time regardless if the area boss is killed.
I did it before just to check it out and it was actually quite easy. I'm by no means a pro and/or speedrunner, so I think if I can do it, you can do it no problem.
That video that was posted on the other page looks like madness tho.
I played a little bit of 3 and really liked what I played but then I got distracted by other games. I'm gonna is this remaster as a proper jumping point in but I got some questions:
1) I love using magic in games. Does This game support a mage or mage like approach? (Didn't get far enough in 3 to find out there, but I assume this game could be different either way)
2) If I have a buddy with the game can we co-op? We both love doing co-op games

I figured it out. I had mistakenly set the resolution to a bit over 4k and the game didn't know what was going on. Once I pulled it back down to 3840 it showed up fine... though apparently my 980ti and 6700k can't handle running the game locked at 60 and recording at 1440p simultaneously. Gonna see if Nvidia shadowplay works any better.
Yeah, magic in this game is a lot of fun, and some of the most OP builds are magic builds. Definitely viable.
You can also buff your weapons with magic, so even if you end up not being a fan of the game's spells, you can still put your INT points to good use.
You can co-op, but it's a bit of a hassle. You'll have to beat each boss twice, once in each player's world.
The lava is still really bright, it's not making my eyes bug out though. I think Izalith/ruins is looking pretty good in the remaster
Oh hell yes to the magic. Co-op sounds a bit of a hassle, but I don't mind refightjng things as that's just more time to play with my buddy. Can't wait to play and work on a bad ass mage.
Anybody know what the most reliable route could be to try to bring the sound issues to their attention? Or the least futile that is?
Seeing how it appears to not only be Undead Parish, I wonder how widespread it is and therefore harder to just overlook if it's not limited to one area.

Pretty sure you need to rest.
It's not exactly an invasion, but don't worry, it won't make a difference in your game until you're on NG+.
I think the darksouls subreddit would be the best way to go.
Do you guys have also the problem that when you run, you get stuck in the ground...like your movement being choppy?

Dat reinforced club moveset of like 2 moves regardless of one or two hands, it's quite comical having perma jump attack on R2.
Also if anyone says I died twice against Taurus Demon, one of which while I was on the ladder caught figuratively with my pants down, they're telling porkies I swear!
....okay I admit it, as a man whose beaten this game multiple times in the past!
Already seeing gravelord stuff in the Burgh making me believe that maybe the online is much better, I'm actually gonna have to google that covenant's gimmick because it was such a non factor back on PS3 I never even saw a GL summon thing.

Yeah, you are right. I just spawned back to the beginning of the catacombs despite activating the vamos bonfire.
Does the game feel outdated to anyone?
I want to get it but I'm afraid that after bloodborne and Ds3 it will feel old.

I've been seeing tons of gravelord signs, but no black phantom enemies. I was only able to go check one place I knew they might be one time though. I think i'm gonna rejoin Gravelord and just keep Sen's Fortress fucked up :o
