I'm sure there is a big thread for the game, but I just got it on the ps4 and haven't played it before. From playing the first, I realized I should just play the game through once then read the walkthrough, that way I don't spoil the fun and heartache.

How far do you have to get into the game before you can summon? Must you be in human form like in the first? Tia

I picked a useless gift however I just spent an hour to beat the cyclops hippo just to discover many more in some forest. I'm dead.

Yes you have to be human to summon

I recommend avoiding those hippos for now

It's fun so far. I made it to the point where I get the l summon stick (white soapstone).

The game is still incredibly difficult but it's manageable with guides now

I really enjoy having to die 50 times to learn where to go. They don't make many games this difficult. I'm probably missing all kinds of stuff on this playthrouh but oh well. At the second bonfire in the forest as of now.

I recommend putting down your summon sign near bonfires so people pick you up - and you can learn the areas.

I've given up on this swordsman character. Restarted for a sorcerer at least I know how to get the soapstone back quickly.

I'm about halfway through the game. It's much better than on last gen. I'll make another character if anyone needs help.

been delving off into the dlc content as of late.

having to dig up keys for all the areas was a little frustrating at first, but got access to everything. I've played the first dlc package before so I should breeze through that. dlc 2 is all about that verticality. platforming souls. fun times ahead.

ETA: Ive been playing this on my xbone and bloodborne on my ps4. I'm such a masochist. I liken my relationship with fromsoft to that of a battered spouse.

Enemy placements make a world of difference in this version.

agreed. heide's tower of flame was a hell of a wake up call when I was just getting started.

They make more sense. Believe it or not, some of new placements are less obnoxious. They fixed the bonfires at Sinner's Rise and Straid's cell, so the enemies don't automatically aggro on you.

Are they working on a patch for the weapon glitch with 60 fps?

I'm about to fight the last giant but I've been farming souls at bonfires until they disappear to level up my character and fire sword (I think it's +4, maybe 3) before I continue on.

ETA: Went with knight: around level 24 I think (at bar so can't check).

Doubtful. It's what they intended, I'm guessing. But I haven't had a problem with it, I've yet to have a weapon break. Don't constantly spam r1 and it will be a (mostly) a non issue.

They took out most of those fricking Syan knights in front of Velsdtat's boss door. This game is very much improved.
