I'll be getting it on 'pc.

Due to cheapness.

None of this ps4 shite.

No stress test for you, then.

PS4 will be better anyway: no hackers and there’ll be an Ian.

Having got the pc version, the remaster is 50% off or something.Makes choice for itself

Want to experience the network test before it’s out? Starts 7 May. Here’s a link I stole off reddit you lazy sods.

After enjoying Bloodborne immensely I've been toying with the idea of a Dark Souls, but having watched a decent amount of play of the first game it just seems to revolve so massively around slow turtling behind a shield, which I have no interest in. I dunno, is it worth giving a shot to if you've cut your teeth on the more fast, fun, aggressive combat of Bloodborne?

Yeah, I did a dex build, no shield and light armour. There's real bonuses to keeping equipment weight down.

I thought you gave up when you couldn't master the tutorial.

Also me.

Wait, what's half price?

Do you Mouse and Keyboard on PC?

Dark Souls Remastered if you own the original game on Steam.

Dave you knobhead, I was joking. Thank you though.

First impressions are that the graphics are significantly poorer than Bloodborne, despite only being three years difference between the games...

...and a more powerful target console.

It’s a remaster not a remake! I’ve not played it though so I can’t comment on the textures but the geometry and whatnots probably won’t be improved much over the PS3/Xbox 360 original.

Picked the knight build, very slow movement compared with Bloodborne.

Beat the Asylum Demon second time the second time you meet it after running through the open door the first time. Went one way once I got to Lordran and found some skelibob men who killed me. Decided to go a different way and made good progress to Undead Burg before being killed by the Taurus Demon. That'll do for now.

First impressions are that the graphics are significantly poorer than Bloodborne, despite only being three years difference between the games. I'm guessing they got a bit more budget from Sony. The combat is SLOW. I don't mind it, but against the Asylum Demon I kept missing my chance to roll out of the way because I'd set it off way too early. My character is incredibly lumbering. I can't time parries yet.

But it's definitely got a lot going for it. I just need to adjust, I think.

Undead Burg seems like the path of least resistance so far, but I'm getting my arse handed to me by both the knight down the steps after all the firebomb guys or the taurus demon further along. Am I missing anything or do I just have to get better?

There is a covenant called the Gravelord Servant covenant. Members of that convenant can use an item (Eye of Death) to infect three worlds. The infected worlds will then replace some enemies with their black phantom (BP) variations, provided that the player is in New Game + (NG+) and has rested at a bonfire after having been infected.

On top of that, the infected world will also have a special summon sign appear, which is really an invasion sign as, once activated, will have you invade the Gravelord's world as a blue phantom. Once the Gravelord has been killed, be it through the sign or other means, the infected world will be relieved of its infection and will display that message to let you know.

Why not just play the original?

Pretty sure Z trades in his old consoles when he gets a new one.

Also, how fucking hard is the Undead Burg for first timers!?
