Dark Souls: Prepare to Die (PS3/360/PC)

[Doombear]

My apologies dude. I figured just about everyone now has beat the game atleast once.

No worries whatsoever. I should thank you for actually reminding me to just fucking finish it. So thanks. =) And you are right, anyone that actually loved the game should have played through once by now. I just basically stopped playing that character when I created a 2nd to co-op / help out my friend on his game. Time to see this 'ending'.

It was destroyed by people in the hopes of stemming the approach of the fog to some region, don't remember the specifics but it didn't work.

I was thinking that the area below the Nexus was the "6th" archstone.

Here are the interesting new details covered in the interview:

-There are over 20 areas in the game (areas that display a name when you enter them)
-There are areas that have no impact on the main story (bonus areas.) In one of these areas, there is a secret covenant that can only be obtained at this particular location (director Miyazaki's favorite covenant)
-There are 3 status effects: bleed, poison, and curse. Curse in particular is a very nasty status effect
-You cannot reverse the status points allocated to your character
-You can add elemental effects to weapons through forging
-There is a new weapon category called "giant bow," which is a bow that is as big as the player and fires projectiles the size of spears
-The total of sorceries, pyromancies, and miracles is over 60
-Humanity can be obtained from items, humans or enemies who used to be human
-Humanity affects item drop rate, resistance to curse and affects some spells and weapons
-Only players with humanity can summon phantoms to help them
-In Co-Op, players who successfully aided a host are rewarded with humanity. In addition, players may be awarded additional benefits based on what covenant they have
-Invasions can occur for three different reasons:
1) To steal another players humanity
2) To steal a valuable item away from another player
3) To punish a player for betraying something
-Director Miyazaki recommends two miracles to players: the "force" miracle and the "requesting aid" miracle. The "requesting aid" miracle allows the player to see a bunch of messages from other players

If this game had a dick, I'd suck it.

[Eggroll]

Stealing valuable items during invasions sounds very interesting, it's going to be so hilarious to troll people.

[Rokku]

Man, every time I look at this thread I get more hyped. Stealing humanity and valuable items from other people? As if I wasn't already convinced enough to have already paid for the game in full.

[Doombear]

OH SHIT! Look at this badass sword I just go... *YOINK*

Fuck.

[Maguspk]

I'm going to steal all of your humanities, fuwahahaha!

[Insanecyclone]

Oh the humanity

[Kazen]

I can see people invading to steal rings of Great Strength or whatever the equivalent of the new increased burden item is just to troll. Good luck with the high mobility build with heavy weapons without that ring!

[Krazy]

I don't think you'll be able to steal just anything after reading this:
"For example," Miyazaki said, "One player may be tasked with hunting down a certain item that another has in his or her possession. There will be several quests or missions in the game like that. It's usually posed a bit like a competitive version of 'Lord of the Rings' in which one player has the ring and the other characters must find him, attack him and attempt to claim the ring for themselves."

yeah, no way they would make all items stealable, because the obvious thing people will do is steal things, which will make the game a whole lot less fun for those getting things stolen.

Maybe they shouldn't suck.

[Lebzile]

As long as I can make my Faith build to fuck those that try to invade me. I'll be happy.

[Rokku]

That actually sounds even better than just stealing random shit, so hell yeah.
