I'm all for extra fidelity, though tbh Dark Souls is already a very, very pretty game.

My first attempt at the fight ended quickly because he kept doing the charge attack (supplemented with Ornstein's charge attacks too), that's why I was backing up so much. Then I remembered you have to bait him to get him to do anything.

As long as he didn't land on me, I could, but I'd be really hurting.

Yeah, I'm on both PS3 and PC now.

I'll make my next character cap at 120. Want to use this one for Barneezy Jones' SL100 fight clubs.

Just discovered DSFix, how did I play without this...

Reference Image C


Thought the blurriness was just my eyes because I need new glasses... didn't realize they didn't bother to put in scaling background resolution when you change screen size. Borderless fullscreen is nice too

You're probably already aware of this, but aside from DSFix there's also other mods you can use for the game that improve things like high -res UI and fonts, new stat icons etc. You can find them by looking up Dark Souls Nexus on google. When at the site, click on top files and it's all there on the first page. You will need to register a free account. These require DSFix to be installed and for texture override to be set to 1 in the dsfix ini file.

I personally use the high res Xbox 360 HD icon interface (I play with a 360 controller) and high res subtitles/fonts/UI files. It's like night and day for me.

If you're already aware of the site, then of course, disregard this.

It's actually very well done, it's just designed to make you think you're in hell.

I love it honestly, I really felt like I was exploring the sludge of dark souls. I loved getting inflicted with toxic from a mile away, seriously. I really feel they nailed it in making you feel like that whole environment was poisonous.

There are secrets hidden on the way down, and I loved exploring for each and everyone of them.

I would say this movie clip sums up quite nicely the way I felt when I was trying to leave Blighttown for the first time... and finally finding the way out after a few hours.

"NERD!"

I've always found Blighttown to be sort of a rite of passage in Dark Souls, it's really the first difficult area you come to but definitely not the last. Nowadays I just skip it though and go through the back way.



I was browsing through articles earlier and saw this. Reminded me of Kali, although this Rukia doesn't like Blighttown.

Solaire is probably the best character in any game ever. He's the biggest troll ever

My OCD was the reason I could never play games like Shenmu >.> And certainly it caused my demise numerous times in the Souls series.

I feel like a lot of his dialogue is meant to be a joke of some kind rather than for serious

I'm doing blightown atm. Not a fan but it's not nearly as bad as my firekeeper being dead... Not sure what I can do about that.
