@giboauja: 1080 is fine. I have been on a 1440p monitor. If you can, but a new card, even something like a 970 and get a nice 1440p monitor. Just use the dynamic super resolution and make things look nicer. The thing i like about 1440p is it is noticeable, the clarity in games, and the extra real estate when using it, and it is just high enough without having to use windows scaling. I got a new laptop and the res is super high, just under 4k i think its a xps13, and i find that windows scaling is terrible. If its not native to the computer the text is terrible, With 1440p i can have everything at 100% and its still legable

@memonk: is this tower before or after the pursuer area? I went down from where the bonfire was, and there is some frog looking thing that shoots fire, i don't know how to approach it. Looks like i have to enter that area from the rear?

Is that ring going to be like Havel's ring for me? lol, one that is going to pretty much be on me all the time from DS1

@echo13791: if you do decide to go in with thy balls, let me know how G Sync is. I wouldn't mind an opinion that is honest and not like all tech websites saying "ITS THE BEST THING EVER"

@giboauja: depending on where you live the price will vary vastly. for sub 500 you can get a 980, but to be honest, if you can afford a 4k monitor, i would suggest chalking up a bit more and get something like a 980 ti. the worst thing you can do is have a nice setup and monitor and a brand new card that still, just isn't good enough, you'll always be disappointed.

I live in Canada, and i don't know what is up worth the exchange rate and stuff, but my 980 ti cost me 929.99 CAD. From what i see, the MSRP in the US is about 679?

ALSO, the jump from a GPU same as the titan, and increase in VRAM is always a nice tough. 6Gb instead of 4. Having a 4gb card (that's not HBM) seems already outdated with some of the texture requirements on games. Shadow of Mordor, for the high res textures even wanted 6gb memory. Although maybe not completely necessary, devs are making games in the expectation that if you want to play it well, that you have the products to do so

@jaycrockett: so after i finish the pursuer things might lighten up a bit, or enemies might change? all it is right now is the zombies that walk so slow and its so hard to time a parry. And i don't really have a weapon to properly do damage on the pursuer

When i played, i guess i went another way that made me skip the Depths, and i went back later when i was way too over leveled and killed it in a few swings. But if i have a suggestion for you, its don't get used to a shield, this is, if your a player who uses big strong weapons like i did. I got a Black Knight Sword early on my first play through as a drop, and literally used that the whole game. Once you get used to light armor, high damage two handed attacks, you will just win everything

Long story short, i played most of Dark Souls during my summer break and had a blast. The movement was great, the weapons, everything. At first i thought it was clunky but got the hang of it and it was an amazing game. So i went and got Dark Souls 2, and saw the two versions and went straight for the the scholar edition understanding it is harder, but figured that i would be ok since i am fresh off the first game. SOOOO, what im getting at is:

I am 6 hours game play in, and still only at the Pursuer, i find myself always low on health because when i die the health bar lowers, and i have only 3 estus flasks?? what happened to 5. I feel like the game is unresponsive with my xbox one controller, he doesn't dodge when i want, roll when i want or attack, i feel like there is always a delay, and i'm always dying when i was fully anticipating the attack and everything.

The stamina runs out way faster, and when i get hit once, i feel like i'm locked in to that target and they get 5 swipes on me and i have no chance to dodge.

Now that i am typing out what i am having some problems with i understand "its dark souls" get used to it mentality, but the game just doesn't feel like i'm as agile when i was in dark souls 1. And now from what i noticed, the stamina and endurance are two separate points now? and there is agility or something, which i was reading and it said that it will help my roll. IDK, i keep playing because i want to play, but i just am not having a good time with it, at all

@obsideondarman: I got about the same distance back at launch, havent' played it since. How is the game? i was thinking about picking it up on PC to play? are you enjoying it? or is it as "bad" as everyone makes it seem

this makes me not feel so bad about never really playing a final fantasy game before. Played some 13 when it launched but besides that, the most i have ever played of one, even close from what i understand is Bravely Default. Got 13 on steam. For anyone reading, is it really that bad of a game? i wanted to play it, but from what i read, everyone shits on it so much??? lol.

reviews don't matter. its how much you like the game. I played hundreds of hours of rock band 1 and 2. to me, those are 11/10 games. to others, couldn't care less. just the way she goes
