This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the “SHIFT +F1” shortcut on your keyboard.

I’m envious of anyone getting to play this for the first time. This game was amazing.

I'll accept your jealousy with grace and aplomb, because I've wanted to play this since release but haven't owned a PlayStation since the PS2.

If someone was playing the first Dark Souls for the first time and wanted advice, I'd say something like

To time your parry, watch the enemy's hand when they swing to attack; when their hand starts to come down, parry

Can I ask for any tips like that you might care to impart? 😊

I can’t think of any tactical tips off the top of my head since its been years since I played but one thing i remember is to always explore. The side quests give gear and fighting techniques that make your journey much, much easier.

Thanks! And: Oh good. I'm the kind of person to scour a map like a swarm of locusts; sounds like this might be a long one for me.

Then my advice would be to also advance the story. I did my usual thing of exploring and mostly clearing areas before advancing the story and as a result I got a bit bored in the late game, because as you progress, the portions of the map locked behind story progression get smaller and smaller.

That souls tip helps too but watch their feet instead of their hands

The game was great. Definitely not perfect, as a lot of the open world stuff was samey, but the combat was so good I almost didn't give a shit.

I've waited all this time for it to release on PC. Looking forward to it!
