i started messing around with the DS2 dlc, and it feels pretty damn hard on ng+. wish there was some sort of reverse bonfire aesthetic item.

ok i got through the dlc, it was pretty great. couldn't have beat Elana without solid co-op, and i tried to pay it forward by helping people against the dragon (probably the easiest but also the most fun boss?).
i thought it would be a drag having to replay the game in ng+ just to access the dlc (and going through the pit/gutter/gulch again kinda was), but it was pretty fun speeding through huntsman's copse/harvest/valley/earthen peak to get to the next one.

DLC is aug 28 for PS3, yes? and you can't access it without reaching ng+?

as noted above, I restarted the game and have been building a stupidly balanced (all skills at level 21 at the moment) character... not even sure why i'm doing it.

no no, you can access it without ng+. it's way harder to access if you started ng+, because doing so clears out all of your bonfire checkpoints.

the big thing in the new dlc seems to be using the environment to get through situations that would otherwise be near-impossible. and by "environment" i mean things that explode.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 29 August 2014 16:16 (nine years ago) link
This was $30 in Best Buy. I picked up. Need to beat the first one after dropping 50 or so hours into it. Probably don't need this in my life right now.

Over the course of the downloadable content, players can gradually accrue followers — allied, AI-controlled characters — who will help them in a battle against a tough boss character.
this is good news, since i cancelled XBL and summoning human help is out.

yeah both. i was skeptical about next-gen ds2 but watched recent footage of it and it looks good in 60fps. the dark areas are actually dark now!

yeah i will 100% get it eventually, have played zero add content, but bloodborne first by god

huh i have no desire to go back to DS2, even with fancy graphics. very excited about Bloodborne though.
― lil urbane (Jordan), Thursday, 19 February 2015 19:16 (nine years ago) link
Trying to get into this, not sure I liked the changes from DS. Running through empty hallways because I have killed everything in them is giving me flashbacks to the worst and most boring parts of Castlevanias. Level design......eh..... there are some gorgeous areas but on the whole it is way worse than DS, which felt like real places. Seems like they went more Open World with this one, and it feels a bit aimless as a result. From the opening area in DS you could access 2 other areas but from the opening area in DS2 it feels like there are half a dozen paths I could take, almost all of which lead to a locked door. I'm going to try and stick w it as long as I can (currently in Heides Tower of Flame) but at least in the beginning it feels rather slapped together compared to the first game's artful construction.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 11 April 2015 14:55 (nine years ago) link
There are much more pronounced highs and lows in the quality of the area design with this. It probably gets by a lot on how much the base mechanics stand up to repeat play
Heide's Tower is pretty cool looking as an area even though there's not really that much of note there
the transition from Earthen Peak --> Bowser's castle is the most dispiritingly shit bit of world design in the game

I'll probably pick up this new deluxe version once it comes down in price. Never played the add-ons and they're supposedly pretty tite.
― circa1916, Saturday, 11 April 2015 17:49 (nine years ago) link
the dlcs were better than the main game. still kinda like this one but i feel like i can steamroll through it at this point even with the re-mixed areas of the remaster. the new high framerate is really nice, wish bloodborne had it
― am0n, Monday, 13 April 2015 01:22 (nine years ago) link
it's clear that from software's b-team did most of the work on this but i'd still take a second-rate souls game over virtually anything else. i need to go back and work my way through the dlc once i've finished with bloodborne.
― bizarro gazzara, Monday, 13 April 2015 08:16 (nine years ago) link
best part of sotfs update so far is the pool of blood mechanic. works the same as a bloodstain however when multiple people have died in the same spot it becomes a 'pool of blood' that when clicked activates all the bloodstains simultaneously. so you get multiple phantoms missing a cliff jump or this

I'm stuck at the three Sentinels in the Lost Bastille. Haven't beaten the Pursuer either, cos he is REALLY tough and I read he's harder than the Sentinels.
Doesn't feel entirely fair to be fighting three guys at once. I mean you had the Anor Londo duo in Dark Souls but it was a nice big space and the two of them had different moves. I can take down the first Sentinel without a scratch, but the next two is a tough battle. Should I go do something else? The DSII world is way more confusing than the first game so I have no idea where to go next aside from this.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 23 April 2015 16:54 (nine years ago) link
i think you can summon an NPC for that fight (and i'm pretty sure i summoned human help).
― lil urbane (Jordan), Thursday, 23 April 2015 17:00 (nine years ago) link
you want to take the first guy out on the platform as quick as possible. Definitely do summon an NPC or two; let one of them pull one of the last two enemies away and then focus on the other on the ground.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xrPkE-LWqYLater in the game, you run two of these at once so you kinda need to learn how to play these guys.
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 23 April 2015 17:08 (nine years ago) link
LOL i have to talk to the cat to leave a covenant and then the NPC will be there.

Hmmm that's not it I'm not in any covenants. I found the cell but the summon isn't there.
