it only affect you if you're always travelling. if you buy the game in Malaysia, you can only play it within the country stated on the store page. so if you buy it in Malaysia, the game won't work in Canada or US for example.

not 100% sure, but GMG and GamersGate usually give ROW keys, if you can buy it directly without using VPN.

but with how Steam currently works, we won't know for sure.

Dark Souls 2 New PS3 Video Reveals Visual Downgrade

Some new unexpected details have emerged on Dark Souls 2, the soon to be released action role playing game launching on consoles and PC, following a new video taken from the PlayStation 3 version of the game.

Aparently the PlayStation 3 version has received some sort of visual downgrade. NeoGaf forum member Metroid-Squadron has made a comparison between footage taken from an earlier build of the game and the final PlayStation 3 release. As you can see from the screencaps – the ones with the IGN watermark are the ones from the earlier build – the visual downgrade is especially evident in the use of lightning, with the retail version looking quite worse than the earlier build.

This is really a shame, considering that the use of lightning in the Souls series is what manages to create the eerie atmosphere of the games’ locations. We still don’t know if the Xbox 360 version will suffer from the same visual downgrade. We’ll keep you updated on the matter as soon as more comes in.

Dark Souls 2 will launch on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 11th in North America and on March 14th in UK and Europe. The PC version of Dark Souls 2 is going to launch in all regions on April 25th. This version of the game is going to include some extra features not available in the console releases like higher resolution textures, an enhanced framerate option and support for mouse and keyboard.

http://www.explosion.com/54250/dark-souls-...sual-downgrade/
Pray that this is a console only thing.

Yea, from Steam.
Don't really know what problem because it doesn't pop out any error logs.

Just that when I start the game, nothing happen. When I start again, it says app is already up and running.
When I go to the task manager, I can see that Dark Souls is running on the process column. But nothing happen after that.

Not sure Dark Souls expanded their map and dungeon or not.
In DS1, the world is not as open and big as Skyrim, but the game won't restrict you much from going anywhere.

Also take note that DS is quite different from Skyrim in term of RPG elements.
Dark Souls don't have quests log/marker, only few NPCs, and provide limited explanation and guidance on storyline.
And the biggest difference, difficulty. tongue.gif

It is a masterpiece but not for everyone.
Many peoples got the game due to reviews/recommendation, then sells/stop playing shortly afterwards, not even finish first dungeon/boss.
Better to try DS1 first if you are new to this series.

Meaning the game is a hack and slash.

I prefer game like open world adventure .. Elder scroll and Fallout type. Currently playing Two World 2.

i don't think they're giving out the keys yet. usually they will send keys 1 week before the game is released for preload.

Watched some of the gameplay video on Youtube.

The game seems to be very badly coded in general with problems like arrows that homes on you and curve around bends towards you, attacks that damages you even when the animation clearly shows that it misses, and attack hitbox that is larger than it actually looks.

Going to wait and see what the PC version is like.

Purchases made in Malaysia can only be added to your library if you are in Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

Does that mean I can play it outside of these countries? Their wording rather vague and +-RM 200 is a big deal for me so I'm kinda hesitant to buy.

lighting still sucks, game is linear as hell, huge boss fight is bugged to hell and stress inducing especially the hitboxes, gloomy feeling of the game is gone.. no more dark areas to explore and mostly bright places, the difficulty curve is not properly balanced, mob despawn, limited human effigy.. gonna wait for 75% + base price drop

forgot to mention, after reaching SL150, you are no longer protected from invasion of a SL835 unlike the first DS. In hollow form you are still vulnerable from invasion so there's no getting away unless u disconnect your net. Stat gain per point is greatly reduced after SL150, infinite amount of respec so no more unique builds, joining certain factions bug out the summon feature

So I went to ask Steam support. If any of you are going around a lot, best to just buy from somewhere else NOT steam.

It is a bit contradicting as Paradox said that the game is only activatable in SEA but playable elsewhere.

Problem is all those keys sold outside are also region restricted. Go to GMG and it'll say Dark Souls NA, haven't seen any RoW keys yet. Don't understand what's the purpose of publishers pulling this kinda stunt, doesn't earn them more money is all I know. They should just allow people to select region to connect to in-game instead of locking regions based on keys.

Apparently Steam is restricting a lot of upcoming games to respective regions as well, one of the most recent one is from Bethesda, Wolfenstein. No MP but still region lock.

South Park and Watch Dogs as well.
I asked all the publishers already. I contacted Namco Community Manager and support tickets to both Ubisoft and Bethesda. ALL IGNORE YAAAYYYY
Cancelled my pre-order for DS2 and not buying Watch Dogs or Wolfenstein =/ Ah well, maybe I can go eat mamak or something.

But yeah, seriously, no idea what the f*** is going on with steam.

I guess it means we gotta start using a black flag with a skull on it if we want to play outside SEA.

It is probably to do with something something scam city SEA, something something stolen credit card.

The idea is really simple, to thwart illegal account trading because you know no one is gonna complain it when both sides get what they want until something goes wrong like cross region account trade which syndicates like to do, because USD > SEA currencies. Oh other regions like Russia, Romania, Nigeria might get flagged too.
True MURICA peeps get to play anywhere they want with their FREEDOM steam account biggrin.gif

That's totally different from the meaning of the notice they posted. Such a turnoff. If they are going to region restrict it, then the only way they are getting my money is when they price drop and 75% off.

I'm just boycotting it. HOWEVER, someone pre-ordered it and then refunded, and there was a statement that the DS2 he pre-ordered (was in Russia) was ROW. I have not seen anyone from SEA try though.

"Notice: Purchases made in Malaysia can only be added to your library if you are in Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. "

but ... does not this mean ...

So I can't buy Dark Souls 2 from GMG?
Damn 20% off and can -5.46usd GMG credit.. Only need to pay RM105.
Really can't buy? How come GMG displays it though..
Normally if can't buy they will hide it right? =/

Update 1: Found this topic as well: https://forums.playfire.com/gmg/thread/120337
Seems that it is possible to buy and should work but still not sure..

Update 2: Some guy from Reddit confirm that it's region free key from GMG (besides Japan).
http://www.reddit.com/r/GameDealsMeta/comm...y_from_gmg_and/

Update 3: I just ordered mine from GMG and got the keys and available for pre-loading already. I can confirm it's restricted to Japan only like the reddit guy says in update 2 http://steamdb.info/sub/36517/

I do really hope region lock isn't about restricting connection between the country, I like testing out skills on players around the world on DS1.

If thats the case what's the fun invading each other locally or SEA? Is like same dude keep invading you or ganked by same group while trying to invade others. It just doesn't feel right.

by right, DS2 only have 2 types of keys. JP and ROW. Only pray Steam won't be an arse and revoke your game from the library. DS2 in GMG does say NA though

I will say wait first. The pre-order incentive in DS2 wasn't that great anyways. There are mixed comments about DS2 now that may disappoint those that loved DS1. Just a heads up, the game isn't as dark and gloomy as DS1 anymore and PVP is worse than DS1 albeit easier to connect. Their new class is imba as heck so prepare for a wave of curse users while the other classes got nerfed to oblivion.

I found myself have to run back a couple more maps a lot.

You can definitely play this solo. But certain bosses are easier when you co-op

I'm soloing every single boss on my own. It's pretty much possible you just need to know which one to hit first.
Looking at the walkthrough just to know where you should go first helps.

I remember i joined the covenant of champions (basically it makes the game so fuxxking hard), and I soloed pursuer after tens and tens of tries. My damn damage to him is like 70, and he two shots me. After that I only learned about the effect of joining this covenant shakehead.gif

Summon and pvp range in Dark Souls 2 is calculated by soul memory.
1) Your soul memory plus or minus 25%.

Soul level has no purpose in Dark Souls 2. Soul memory is the only statistic that matchmaking uses.

sos
so now, dark souls 2 using soul memory instead soul level for online play? demm doh.gif

You can get quite a decent drop rate of torches from the torch wielding hollows in huntsmans copse and gutter, the peasants in blightstone cove tseldora drops them too. Other than that its just loots from around the world but I prefer to farm in those places I mentioned

The new system intends for us to keep leveling and play the game. But its a norm in previous dark soul to stop at 150 and enjoy pvp with matchmaking + - 10 levels. Now the discrepency is too high. One with say 2m SM can be level 100 and can be 150. If this is the basis for pvp matchmaking then its broken. Apparently they thought this fixes twinks that invade weaker players, but reality is it makes pvp and coop even harder. Example for my SM, its pretty difficult to get coop summon compared to as before. And i prefer full melee physical build, if keep level up to SL 200+++, mages with heavy armor easily one shot me with magics

Personally I am a dual Caestus point blank melee boxer in PVP @ SM2.8M around 6/10 win rate, if there is a pure melee build deserve to complain about SM, that would be me. Wait until you see havels + santiers spears & avelyn meta at the higher SM brackets. Pure builds gonna get rekt. But that doesn't stop me from playing pvp.

Nothing really has changed, this is pretty normal to me.
Hitboxes and etc once you are familiar with the game and have some skills, I don't think it is that hard.

Hi, I just started playing this game again. So far I managed to solo through the early parts of the game. I plan to beat the game solo and then start NG+ with heavy coop in mind mainly because I want the gifts from the covenants. I have not played coop yet, would appreciate any feedback/help from fellow dark lords.

It sounds like a remastered edition: enhanced graphic, new story, new NPC, new monster, and contains three existing DLC.
Damn, I planned to buy DS2 if it comes up on Steam sales, now I guess I'll wait again. sweat.gif

EDIT: Existing DSII owner will get patch for those additional content:
QUOTE
All versions of the game will include the following features (Existing Dark Souls II owners will receive a patch to implement these elements):

•All 3 DLC packs included in the game (Crown of the Sunken King, Crown of the Old Iron King, Crown of the Ivory King).
•Additional NPCs added for an enhanced story experience.
•Parameter adjustments for improved game balance.
•Augmented item descriptions.
•Improved online matchmaking functionality.

Xbox One, PS4, and DirectX 11 versions of the game will include the following features (in addition to those listed above):

•Additional upgrades to graphics, sound, performance.
•Increase in maximum online players in single session (6 total).

Source: http://bandainamcous.tumblr.com/post/10352...e-dark-souls-ii
But it sounds like there will be a DirectX 11 version that is a separated game from the existing DSII.

I played offline too and I've never encountered this problem. Did you mess around with the graphic settings? Are you using an uber powerful gaming PC or a dying old crone?

im playing using xbox. Not pirated.

in fact in the boss stage, i can hear the boss fight background music, and i can die from the surrounding poison. Just the boss is not there for me to kill or she kills me.

i tried tele back to bonfire during the boss fight. But cant reset the boss in bonfire cos the boss is not dead either.

It seems like your save file has somehow been corrupted. You could try to re-install the game. If that doesn't help then I can't think of anything else but to make a new character/save game. Hope that helps.

It sounds like a remastered edition: enhanced graphic, new story, new NPC, new monster, and contains three existing DLC.
Damn, I planned to buy DS2 if it comes up on Steam sales, now I guess I'll wait again.  sweat.gif

EDIT: Existing DSII owner will get patch for those additional content:
But it sounds like there will be a DirectX 11 version that is a separated game from the existing DSII.

If DX11 doesn't add in the original lighting system, don't bother. rclxub.gif
