New Video with a lot of infomation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcaiZ88kGbU

He talks a lot about game mechanics rather then just enemies or whatever.

Embedding it in case anyone wants to just watch it on here.

Thank you, I'm not good at doing that

thanks for the link,almost finished listening to it atm

so far some of it i already know but it expands on what i know and adds a bit of what i didn't
besides, it's dks2 info in an almost 20 minute video, how could i not like it?

It's a good vid, I like that he remains impartial and presents it in a logical and calm way.
He gives a good analysis of some of the new mechanics, and the way he does it doesn't cause many viewers to jump to silly conclusions like a few of the other preview vids have done.



PS- posted this yesterday in the big all info thread

It's great to see that even though we both tried the same demo, we didn't got the same informations from it ^^ 

i did not catch the blue herb restoring spell capacity :p he did not see that you do different damages if two handling the catalyst etc...

great video !

actually like the idea of the healing items now, its like a choose your own difficulty thing WITHOUT making it a cakewalk

"Obviously I'm a big dark souls player, I've completed it a couple of times"

On this forum the juxtaposition of that statement is hilarious.

......Yellow herbs and blue herbs which allow you to regenerate magic slots.....



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Well it's already been choose your own difficulty. That's the thing about rpg's where you can level. If you level up the game gets easier. In fact, a level 700 could easily go through ng, even if played poorly.

A big Dark Souls player has completed the game a couple times?

At that rate, I must be humongous. How many builds have I made - upwards of 25?

Actually compared to the majority of people, finishing it makes you a big player, considering how most people haven't even heard of it. And yeah, I would say even a few times is big enough, considering how many people don't finish it.

I must disagree. By the time one is past SL150 or so, the effectiveness of leveling up further is greatly diminished. I know people who have tried the game who could not even figure out how to equip items, how scaling worked, how to replenish their castings, etc. Many people try the game, and regardless of how much they try the same area again and again, or even play the game as some hacked character, they will fail repeatedly if they aren't simply good enough with adapting. It takes a decent amount of intelligence(at the very least) to play this game.

Edit: Then I guess I should be a Dark Souls god by now?

http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/?c=132940560624383881 Anyone except someone completely new to video games should be able to beat dark souls quite easily, only the BoC and Sen's should cause much problem.

Being a big player and being a good player are two different things. You can play 24/7 but if you don't have hands, you're going to play horribly. (but you can still use your feet. poorly however)

I use my feet quite well, thank you very much.


And trust me, there's plenty out there who struggle a lot more than you'd know. You overestimate us humans.
