Like I said, it's not just the speed, which is barely different. (Looks to me like less than a second per 4 swings, that's a very small difference per swing) It's the tiny bit of downside to all the upside. I used katanas in DS1, so it wasn't an issue, and greatswords had more downside there as...

Adaptability speeds up shield raise. Are you still basing this off memory? Cause I've had the game open this whole time and I've been testing. The differences you're talking about are miniscule. Also, the shield raise time with the bastard sword isn't as bad as it could be, since you are raising...

It's not a second, it's quite a bit less. Milliseconds. If you don't want to waste them, that's your business.

It's hard to get an exact comparison, since he does the full 4 swings with the longsword, but only 3 with the bastard. Even so, the difference is less than 1 second for 4 swings. And the argument is: "milliseconds? lolwut, the big weapons are slow as fuck and have huge recovery." "The...

Slow compared to what? Next time you're in game, do 4 light attacks with any greatsword, then do 4 with a longsword. The broadsword seems a tiny bit faster then the longsword.

LOL? Here: Dark Souls 2 Bastard Sword Move Set - YouTube Seems atinybit slower than mine, but he's recording the moveset, so may not have been clicking as fast as he could. Yeah, just tested it. The window for clicking for the next swing starts really early (I can get it clicking before...

I have 4 greatswords including the bastard, they all have the same speed.

Yeah, in DS1 the bastard sword etc had longer recovery times, there was that slow "mmmph" dragging it back up to your shoulder. DS2 doesn't have that. Basically, there's a 25% stamina cost increase, and an extremely minimal loss in speed, in exchange for more damage, and more reach, which can...

So I remapped attack to mousewheel down and ran some test and the only real difference I can see is my 2h get 4 swings per stamina bar and 1h get 5. To be clear, I'm not talking about ultra-greatsword type weapons, but bastard/dranglaec etc.

Hmmm, that sounds interesting. There's a few shitty workarounds using AHK, that I haven't wanted to fuck with just yet, but if it will make my 1h weapons swing faster I might just have to. Thanks for the tip.

And don't do like I did and get a double kill and lose the fucking drop.

If you read the fucking thread you'd have seen where I mentioned that I forgot to pack my 2 controllers when I moved from Cali to Texas, and I can't fucking afford to buy a new one right now. And it's not continuous complaining, it's merely responding to others. So, in short, fuck you.

Wow, dude. Thank you for diagnosing my MPD. I had no idea I had written a post where I said the game was too hard. I better call a shrink and get on meds right away. @Skanda Actually, they are.Too poor to upgrade right now.

Thanks. That explains why I never noticed.

I figured out why I find the game boring. DS1 was a good mix of strategy and manual dexterity. You fucked up and died, you figured out why and changed your tactics and/or improved your skill at combat. DS2 is 100% manual dexterity and I've never found pressing buttons quickly to be all that...

The Pursuers curse is just an attack effect that drains like half your hp for that attack only. No after effect. Get the ring of binding from the Tower of Flame, and never go below 75% health again. It's easy to get.

Next time, grab your souls and then use a homeward bone.

The wording of your previous statement is in direct conflict with the above. "The graphics are ok, if you were expecting great graphics because OMG PC PORT then I think you set yourself up for disappointment."

What the fuck are you smoking? Yeah, Demon Souls wasn't built with kb/m in mind, no shit, it was for console only. DS1 was originally for console only as well, and yet the kb/m controls for thatare better than DS2which was specifically designed with pc in mind. "Get over it" is not a valid...

The kb/m thing might be less of an issue if: 1. From hadn't specifically stated that they were developing with PC in mind this time. 2. If doing PC controls "right" wasn't one of the reasons given for the long PC release delay. 3. The controls weren't actuallyworsethen they were in DS1...

Dammit, Fedor, stop posting that damn gif. It's like a fucking speed bump.

Watch the vid that supertouch posted for the core problems with the game. The things complained about in this thread are mostly minor gripes and annoyances that could have been easily avoided. The issue with the port has zero to do with graphics. If you port to pc and have the most retarded...

I don't see why you're trying to excuse a shitty mechanic. It was dumb in DS1, it's fucking retarded in DS2. The purpose of durability is economic, money sinks, keeping crafting viable, etc. It has no place in a single player game whatsoever. At least in DS1 you could mostly ignore it, but when...

Nah, dude, it's even worse then that. If you don't assign double-click to anything, and you accidentally double-click when you're trying to attack, you do nothing. GG.

Double click for anything in just about any game is retarded. Vindictus has a lot of multiple mouse clicks for different attacks, but they knew what the fuck they were doing and it works great.

"Attacking" with the hand your shield is in is shield block. Strong attack is bash/parry. In other news, this has got to be one of the most boring games I've ever played. It's obvious the new guy doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

UnderOptions? The only somewhat interesting thing that you can see watching someone else play HS is if they get RNG'd to death.

Because I had zero issues beating DS1 several times with kb/m? Because I don't use controllers on my pc unless I have no other option? Because I somehow forgot to packbothmy pc controllers when I moved? All of the above? Also, not being able to use tab for target lock, or any single keypress...

I get that they are a console game dev team, but do they not game on a PC at all? LMB=left weapon, RMB=right weapon as default. Um, no, LMB=primary attack, thank you. Yeah, the guy is ambidextrous, but lefty just feels awkward. And double click for strong attack is retarded, because of the...

Thanks all for posting those codes. Haven't been playing lately, but like to keep getting freebies. With as many heroes as I have, chances of getting a new one are slim, lol.

While the default kb/m settings are retarded, again, there's nothing hard about using kb/m with this game or DS1. Unless you're missing some key fingers.

Dark Souls 2 Wiki - Ring of Binding

Yeah, the design decisions they made in an attempt to offer more of a challenge to people who had already mastered DS1 are obvious, clunky, and more annoyance then challenge. Pretty gamey shit too, like adaptability, ugh. It's funny how often you hear "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and yet, no...

Hardly. But, nice try. Console game ported to pc works better with controller does not qualify. The problem is with the developer, not the hardware.

This is what happens when you don't have a nice beta test.

If you have an Nvidia card you could try the beta drivers. I loaded it up earlier and had no issues, but I'm currently running the drivers from January (332.21) because of an issue with Landmark.

Your original comment wasn't funny, but this one is hilarious. LOL.

You're right. In fact, in your honor, I've begun the download of the torrent. If it finishes before steam unlocks, I'm canceling my pre-order.

I never said I was pirating it, you fucking retard. L2read? Is that enough of a reminder for you?

I pre-ordered the game, genius. What are you, 5? I do download torrents of movies and tv shows daily though, maybe one of those will kill me. You can only hope, right?
