If you ACTUALLY play RPGs for character development then yes Planescape Torment is fucking good on that part. The setting is also pretty nonstandard (Don't assume it's typical just because it's DnD).

Interesting. I'll actually keep it in mind for something I'll have to play in the future. Since it's on pc, it'd prolly be easy to get a hold of anyway I guess...

ps I nailed it

Figuring out that a person named 7thfonon likes jRPG's, is like cracking the code to a vault that is already open.  :slowpoke:

I had a lot of fun that one night (AM7?) that brett, jeff, and the other norcal guys sat me down in front of the game, so I would like to get Dark Souls.  I would have played more Demon Souls if it wasn't ps3 onry.  =<

Also I'm kind of miffed that I can't get the preorder due to sinking all my money into fixing my car right now.  I want dat artbook.

Also also I like that the website is preparetodie.com.

And psh, dex builds. S'all about that faith build dawg.

faith builds are pretty weak at the 100+ level range. the regen from blessed equipment is pretty nice but not nice enough when faith doesn't offer anything you can't get from something else. knockdown + wrath of god would also be pretty good if players weren't so ridiculously durable at that level range, too. so it's basically just The Mirdan Hammer Build. which is pretty strong, but not very flexible.

hands of god -are- cool though.

up there mostly what you'll see is strength(dbs, knight sword, great axe), dexterity(kilij, uchigatana, spiked shield), or magic focused builds.

Honestly I never got INTO PvP all that much.
I did Faith cuz it made my first PvE playthru alot less troublesome.
I used Guillotine Axe/Great Sword cuz I just didnt like the feel of the Mirdan Hammer.

Haha, it's the top ad on youtube today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93LFz_j5fQA New trailer, now coming pre-dubbed.

http://www.fromsoftware.jp/darksouls/contents/map_sound.html Area map and streamable soundtrack segments.

http://www.preparetodie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1156&start=105 Someone actually got to play the game and is giving out information. This same guy destroyed the E3 demo, so he's not a bad player when he's saying it's ridiculously hard.

So hype.

There's a new (Japanese) interview. Probably spoilers ahoy, maybe not though. http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/401/401145/

Someone on gamefaqs summed up a fair amount of it here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/606312-dark-souls/60211421

Quote
-There is a new weapon category called "giant bow," which is a bow that is as big as the player and fires projectiles the size of spears
So. Dragon bone bow?

lol Dragon Bone Bow.  Sounds awesome.

Also looking at those gamefaqs comments, there's so many people complaining about the "invasions to steal a valuable item from another player" note.  Everyone afraid to raise humanity for that good drop only to get it stolen away, lol.

Tried this game now; Can't re-map controls, which makes it a piece of fucking garbage.

It was like that in Demon Souls too.  I'm pretty sure it's intentional.

And I'm sure I'd hate that one too.
Hopefully I'll be able to sell this game to someone i know.

Yeah, they love to force their fucked up preferences onto other people.
I wouldn't have even considered playing Melty if not for the fan made keyconfig, or if caster had to use default controls.
Any game that does not allow custom button mapping is Neanderthal bullshit.

lol, what's wrong with the default config?


I'm stuck on that bloody midnight butterfly at the minute. I got summoned and shot like 50 arrows into it's face and had it at like 2% hp but then my stupid summoner had to die.

I finally got this game, like a week late. Cleared up to ringing the first bell. Good times.

Moonlight Butterfly was extermely easy for me. Just go human and summon the npc ally, she'll spam Soul Arrow for a rather large chunk of its health per shot. Kills the boss for you.

Im grinding slimes in the area before blightown for green titanite for my magic uchigatana... killed an npc shopowner for it, but DAMN was it worth it.

BTW, anybody know a particular order for anything yet? I killed the gargoyle and rang the first bell, and the gaping dragon, but i found the butterfly and just kinda went back and didnt bother.

Should I be able to take it by now?
To keep myself from dropping combos, I tell myself that every time I drop a combo a child dies.


I have killed more people than hitler by now.

I'll be real, I was lost at first when norcal made me play Demon Souls.  Random x presses wasting grass and shit.  lol

But really, after a little bit of play, I couldn't imagine it any other way.  Very good setup.  The fact that you're raging so hard over it, Roy, makes me giggle.

Played up to the gargoyle part today before i decided never to touch the game again. There's nothing fabulous about it, grinding XP (souls) and items is lame, and it's not really as "hard" as people claim.

I just took off some gear so i could dodge her spells easier and pummelled her face in when she landed.

Exploring the depths now. I like how thieves start with high enough wis and int to be using spells heh.
