Cheers Ani. I'll check that out. I'm currently stuck on the double boss team in Anor Londo, lost all my humanity and about 40k in souls since neither the npc nor the people I've spawned were any use. It's pissing me off, especially since I went all the way through the demon pits and darkroot forest (that fucking wolf!!!) without any problems. This made both Sen's and the normal spawns in Anor piss easy, but those two bosses keep tickling my sphincter raw.

I love this game.

When I approached the steps up to the palace after the second gargoyle with the two giants on top I was trying to draw them out one at a time when I noticed a summon sign so I called the person and waited for them before approaching.
The guy materialised and I started slowly approaching the giants again. Next thing the dude just dashes up without fear and takes down the two giants in a mass of flames and disappears around the corner. I ran to catch up and he was taking on 3 winged imps when I reached him.
It went on like this, him sprinting throughtthe level, me in toe adding in what sly digs I could. We got to the boss and there was another summon sign in front of the fog so I got him too. This guy had a big, fiery sword. We traversed the white light to meet the duo. The two guys took on one each. I kept my distance firing in soul spears. The fight was over in a couple of minutes.
And that was it. Anor Londo completed bar I hadn't harvested goodies. The two guys gone back to their own world and me feeling like a complete amateur :ddpan:

That game you guys are playing looks and sounds amazing, but I think it would make me angry. I get frustrated easily. I'm playing through Shadow of the Colossus. Just started last night. And I'm getting pissed off already, and that's a pretty simple game. Mostly camera/controls issues. The camera has a mind of its own, the horse has a mind of its own (it's fucking spastic or something), and the main character doesn't do what I want him to do. After like the tenth time trying to jump up the first colossus's fur, and Wander not cooperating, I get to the stage of yelling at the TV screen. "What the fuck?! Jump, you stupid fucking retard! Jump! Why won't you jump you fucking cunt?! Aaaaargh!!!"
I hope my neighbors didn't hear me :oops:

I am raging! I got the big fat boss down activated the cut scene and like a fucking moron ran to the middle of the room thinking I only needed to drop one of them after all. Died again when they merged into that frigging omniboss. Still I now know what I'm doing wrong and how to solve it. I'm going to grind the guards and gargoyles for 2 levels to get my endurance up. I'm not getting enough multipliers on my soul arrows.

I also watched all of that video. He misses so much of the game out

and in the end he deletes the character. Madness!

hmm I'm waiting to see how easy it will be to mod.. I've been modding for the Gamebryo engine for.. a long time :P

Probably doesn't use .nifs and will require a whole new export/import script. Bah.

This final boss is doing my head in. He's just up in my face constantly attacking. I can't get a strike or a spell in on him. Can't get behind him or keep a distance for ranged attacks. Complete bastard!
