Also a question:
Does anyone else have trouble starting the game from steam? Mine appears to get the loading Dark Souls... window. Then it closes and nothing else happens. Except DATA.exe and DARKSOULS****.exe appears in my task manager.

I did restart Steam, ran Steam and Dark Souls as admin., restarted the computer, re-installed Steam, Dark Souls, tried to change compatibility modes on Dark Souls .exes and I check the forums & Google for hours.

I have heard this game is really really really buggy on pc.

 

[iPeez]

I got it to work. No idea how, but after a few days it suddenly launched like normal!

It is kind... of buggy.. but if you used the unofficial fix and tweak the settings, it is more than playable, it's great!

 

[Varine]

This game is so fucking hard...

 

[iPeez]

Yepp! I'm close to beating it now!

Spoiler

Need 1 more Lord Soul and then I am off to Kings!

What class are you playing?

 

[Varine]

Wanderer. I haven't been playing it for a few weeks though. Started Assassin's Creed again and the last two weeks at work have been crazy (worked four days so far this week, at like 56 hours...). I beat the game once in the Xbox though, still at the beginning right now.

 

[iPeez]

Cool Cool, I played knight now on my first playthrough, but want to try pyromancer or maybe another class for a second playthroug. Knight was kind of tank and spank all the way

 

[Varine]

The Deprived makes the first part so fucking hard. I couldn't get past the second boss.

 

[iPeez]

Ye i heard so, does the game like balance monsters and all out at sertain points in the game or just at new game+? Because I really wanna try that class and just farm to a decent level if a part gets too hard..

 

[Varine]

No it doesn't balance out. It gets about the same as other classes once you get some decent equipment, but to get to there you basically can't get hit. And the game is already borderline impossible. For the first few days I didn't know you couldn't pause it and was so confused when I came back dead.

 

[iPeez]

Yeah man that pause thing! F*** that! Seriously;

- Play Dark Souls
- 20 minute boss fight
- Dinner is on the table
- Can't pause the game
- Feel I have a good chance of killing the boss!
- Play for 20 minutes, dinner is now cold
- Die anyway.

 

[Varine]

I would ALWAYS forget too, like on a huge boss fight that took me forever to get to, I would pause for a cigarette, come back, god damn it. Terrible...
