Matt Lees is claiming that Dark Souls 2 has voice chat
What? Why?
because the souls games are about entropy, sort of like the heat death of the world around you.
At some point as the world is being scrambled like an egg, you sort of have to expect someone to appear out of the ether and stab you all while screaming racial and sexual epithets in a child's voice.

It might be nice to voluntarily/opt-in to voice chat with co-op partners. Stuff like working out whether to kill Ornstein or Smough first, or to make sure they know you want to get the boss' tail.

Yeah, he said in that video that it's easy to turn off VC. I doubt it will be a big deal.

You can only speak with co-op people
Oh thank god I almost had myself convinced it was a good idea

what i've heard is that you can only do it if you're both wearing a certain ring
That would actually be pretty neat, and would fit the style of the game to have a cost like that for anyone who wants the very real advantage of improved coordination with their co-op partner.

The person in this video says there is voice-chat, but it is co-op only and it is an optional thing.
I also read, via the Not Safe For Work tumblr http://fuckyeahpraisethesun.tumblr.com/ , that Marcus "EpicNameBro" is working on some official strategy guide and he loves Dark Souls 2. It is an official guide, so there is a chance he "sold out" and is shilling, but I kind of doubt it.

I'll spoiler this just in case. Game mechanic stuff.
Invaders or other players that build up a bunch of sin having their minimum health cap from dieing go all the way down to 10% (instead of stopping at 50%) is making me giggle probably more than it should. Also the fact that high sin players go to the top of the invasion list.

This is great. I also really like the mechanic of gear having level requirements, becuase that should really hamper the whole highly skilled, probably beat the game 10 times, farming newbies at SL10 invading jerks from Dark Souls 1. I don't have great internet, and I am kind of awful at videogames, so more often than not when I would go human, I would mostly get backstabbed or magic blasted rather helped, and it was exhausting.

Hey Dark Souls thread. So, last time I'd left you I had a sorcerer dude who was ripping shit up and had just taken down the heavy-armor dude with Havel's Ring.
Then my HD died.
Now I've got my PC back! I'm back in the mix, and starting a new character. This time, a heavily armored melee guy. I was shocked at how easy the game seemed, as I went through what had taken me 6 hours before in 2. I mean, I took out the gargoyles on my first try without even summoning help! The titanite demon gave me a little trouble since I had nothing really going on in the way of range, but after about 5 runs he was down.
Moonlight butterfly went down like a chump, and so did Havel. Lower undead burg was pretty easy, and I took out the Capra Demon on my 3rd try. He was pretty much just a faster version of Havel.
Then I went down into the sewers, fought Kirk after kindling a bonfire and got a sweet sword, and began a long and boring fight with the gaping dragon in which Solaire was absolutely no help. I stood over where it died and shrugged.
But now I'm going to Blight Town. I didn't even walk in very far before I turned the game off for the day and stepped away. This fucking place is gonna be some hot bullshit, I tell you what. Goddamn shit ogres.
Most of the Blighttown hate comes from the fucking confusing layout, the framerate death and the fucking swarms of mosquitoes. It's not hard, it just sucks.
So, I'd seen a playthrough of ds a few months before I played it, but at the same time, getting from the bonfire in the middle of blight town down to the bottom on my first try was one of the tense and amazing things I've ever done in gaming.
Started off with running down to the start from the sewers and warming up on the shit ogres. I got a pattern of back-stab pushing them off of the pathway and started into the troglodytes when all of the sudden !TOXIC!.
And I'm all....'Bwuh?' Cause there was nobody even near me. Didn't even see shit that coulda done it. So, my health is dropping and I've got nothing to cure it so I start sprinting to see as much as I can before I croak. I take out a few more baddies and start getting desperate. I jump off a ledge onto the floor below when 'Creeeeaaak' "Oh no."
The floor gives out and I fall to my death. "DARK SOOOOOOUUUUUULS!"
This time, I wasn't gonna do my usual grind through the path of enemies. I run straight past the first shit ogre and dive off the side to a platform I'd seen earlier. I take out the trog there and book it for the ladder up ahead. I climb up, and I hear this 'tink tink tink' sound as I do. When I reach the top there's this dark bark covered dude standing up there. As I finish the climb he plinks me with one of his darts. Boom 50% toxic. "Oh you sonuvabitch!" I slice him up and push the remains over the edge.
From then on I continue my parkour, ignoring enemies and just flying ahead. I spot a bonfire on a massive stone support and slide to home just as a mob was nipping at my heels.
The next leg of the trip was a lot more technical as I spotted the next toxic darter ahead of time and played a game of hide-and-seek with him as I slaughtered. Eventually I made the trip up to take him down, making my way into the drainage pit where I dislodged the shit-tick that was sucking at the exit. So now I got this nifty pyromancy. Haven't used it yet though.
From then on I continued booking it until I found myself at the fetid floor of this fucking shit hole. Imagine my joy when I realized the mud was pure 100% corn-fed bullshit. I had my bow out plinking away at those goddamn flies as I looked for a way to go. In my panicked whiplashing I spotted *Angels singing* another bonfire! I jumped and rolled my way over, sliding up real close to that puppy and praising the sun.
After that, I spent a lot of time screwing around with the ferris wheel before getting frustrated and calling it quits. My next stop would be the weird mound of spiky white junk with all the stone giants around it. I circled around left on the thing, sneaking my way around the giants and into the sticky hole. Ah. Queelag's domain. I'm familiar with the name. I cross the white light and uh...hm....this cut-scene I...I hope this doesn't awaken something in me.
The fight goes pretty well for the most part. I figure out pretty quickly that her back-side is ripe for the smacking and wail away at it while shes vomiting fiery hatred. I get her down to around 1/3rd her health when I get stuck between her and her legs as she finishes another volcanic deluge. Boom, that shockwave. Almost zilch for health and I just get up as she's giving me the lashing of a lifetime. *sigh*
I set the controller down. That's enough for today, Dark Souls.

Although I can't imagine you can talk with invaders, just summons.

He mentioned the ring but said that was tied to matchmaking, he specifically says the voice chat is a menu option
That would actually be pretty neat, and would fit the style of the game to have a cost like that for anyone who wants the very real advantage of improved coordination with their co-op partner.
That is like, the perfect way to do that!
Is Matt Lees the guy who made this video, or another person?

Especially since, in order to better facilitate communication, you have to give up a valuable item slot.
if true, that's a great idea.

Unless you played Demon's Souls then it is just a much easier and less annoying Valley of Defilement.
Blighttown is the worst part of blighttown.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
"There are Sunbros."
:^:
I disliked it but my dislike came from it just being an ugly, unfun area and not from difficulty.
I guess the Valley of Defilement made sure I had nowhere to go but up.
