It might be a mistake but Namco is bananas for finally bringing the DLC to consoles. :P

Also, how are the players in the PC version? I read on gaf that there are a lot of cheaters.

[Cyril]

Yes, I've found cheaters to be quite common outside of devoted fightclubs and duels (Red Eye Stone).  It's even easier to cheat on the PC version than it was to BB/Dragon head glitch on consoles.

On the plus side, they did balance out PvP a bit (ie, no more DWGR >50 flipping, elemental weapon nerfs), so builds tend to be more varied.

Did this get re-released on consoles as the "Prepare to Die" edition or was it only on PC?

It's supposed to get that re-release later, but I can't recall the situation for NA.

[Lard]

I believe I saw it in Japan, I think that's why I got confused.

Thanks.

I'm playing this now, luckily I was at a good spot to jump to the DLC cause hydra was dead and I was at the lordvessel part.  just had to save dusk and get the broken pendant

beat the first two bosses.  greatsword is slow >_>  I beat artorias only using the roll stab after many attempts

[Cyril]

I did it with only a Gravelord Greatsword and no shield my first time and I have to say it's definitely more fun that way.  You'll learn to recognize his openings after a while.  Shield makes it a lot easier, though.

[Dade]

If anyone is on the fence for the PC version, it's $20 on Amazon right now (game code, redeem via Steam).

[Taelus]

You would be insane not to buy this game at $20 (unless you hate it). And if you hate it, WHAT THE HELL.

When it comes to the pendant, I actually had a little bit of an intention to play a prank.

[Yggdrasil]

Well that's not very funny for the players that tried to figure out if the Pendant was good for something. For months.

Yes it is.

[Yggdrasil]

At least Snuggly gives you a Souvenir of Reprisal for the Pendant, which I remember is useful for one Covenant. That's the only use of that item.
