Let's get a Dark Souls 3 thread going

>>320041830
I want armor to actually play a role in defense other then lol poise. Or lol fashion.
>>320041830
What I want
>Poise
>Lower equipment tiers. Like less that 20% for fastroll
>No reused assets, at least for items on your inv
>No sunbros
>>320042540
I believe poise has been taken out
I just want another Dark Souls 1. I played through 1 using guides and wikis to learn all the lore. I regretted it, but being that the game was so vague and difficult left me at times with no choice.
So now that I have experienced a Souls game, I want to experience it again but fresh. Just throw me into a world with no explanation and let me find my way.
>>320041830
I want the lag and latency at a minimum so coop and pvp are reasonable. Wasn't in the NT but from what I saw, latency wasn't terrible.
A decent netcode for starters.
>>320045625
They probably used servers for that. They'll pull the old switcheroo and make it a shitty P2P like Dark Souls 1,2, and Bloodborne.
>>320045216
It's already clear that it's better than DS2.
More NG+ events
;_;
I'm not excited b the dragons since every fight except Kalameet
>>320045216
This probably
I won't even preorder it, probably wait a month and get some opinions while dodging spoilers
I want a new IP like Bloodborne
>>320045934
Everyone thought Dark Souls 2 was better than 1 on the network tests. They have plenty of time to ruin it.
>>320041830
I want the ds2 casting animation back
Currently in network test it was mixed
Some had the over head animation some had the front animation
>>320045937
has been shit
I don't know if they've mentioned it yet but I'd love for the password system to return for co-op.
I want VIT and ADP gone.
I really like the lighting engine, and how the game looks in preview videos. I'd like to see more bosses with multiple forms, and some optional content focused around large player counts in multiplayer.
>>320046495
To clarify, something like an optional endgame raid area, with ranking or scoring rewards would be great. Even if it would end up being DLC, its something I think would fit well into the game.
>>320045741
Netcode means shit when dealing with peer to peer connections
good world/level design
How does bloodborne fit into souls lore?
Is it like the hail mary, one in a million chance where humanity survived the age of dark? Through aliums?
>>320041830
I have what i want. Interesting story, cool weapon arts, and a fun chaotic pvp. 2 red agains host and white phantom? 1v4 ? Everything goes
>>320049047
not the same universe
but I'm sure there's a theorya GAAAAAAAME theorythat claims they are
>>320049047
Just a stand alone world/story I believe.
>>320049047
It doesn't.
Are weapon sheathes back yet?
>>320049421
>Someone finds the slightest link

Gascoigne's dialogue includes "umbasa".
>>320045785
>>320048534
Was the NT P2P? It seemed like it was, but I didn't notice a lot of blatant latency and lag stabs, other than running into the occasional laggy bastard.
>>320042147
Like WOW.
>>320041830
>Discuss what you want
just decent hitboxes. the first dark souls was perfectly fine with hitboxes, then the second one had all these attacks that warped your character into them (ogre grab, pursuer stab)
and the fact that every attack with your weapon hit the floor for some reason, draining the already low amount of durability which just required you to buy and maintain another consumable item. it added no depth to the game.
such bullshit
>>320042147
The game would be too easy if armor was too powerful. The problem is that it changes very little, so what they should do is make it so that if you're wearing no armor then you take extra damage, if you're wearing light armor you still take extra damage but less than before, medium you take the standard amount, and then at heavy armor you finally take reduced damage.
>>320050112
No it doesn't.
>>320050472
Haha
>>320050112
>>320050632
Only in the alpha. That was removed in the final build.
>>320046889
If they could actually make Chalice Dungeons fun and random, that would be ideal for people interested more in PvE. I don't know if they could do it though, and it would probably take too much from the main game. They'd have to have randomized outdoor assets and areas from the base game to keep it from being stale/samey like CDs were in Bloodborne.
>>320050207
Dark Souls 2 hitboxes were fine, the problem was ADP

That's because Dark Soul 2 was actuallygood
>>320052307
Those aren't technically hitbox issues, those are 'being broken from the ground up' issues.
Don't get your hopes up. The network test was kinda trash.
>>320051983
Pretty sure it was replaced with hyper armor
>>320053336
hyper armor. isn't that the same thing pretty much.
>>320042540
Perfect
I think it will be shit, just like DS2.
Seriously fuck dark souls, I just want BB2.
>>320053489
Not really.
>>320053489
You can stagger somebody if you drain his poise fast enough. Hyper armor can't be staggered
>>320050120
P2P isn't automatically worse than dedicated servers. It depends on a lot of factors. It's just that on a large scale (just like with dedicated servers) your going to run into several instances of people lagging out or you lagging out.
>>320053648
DS3 looks more like BB than anything.
>>320053489
Not if it's only on certain attacks. It was definitely present on the network test for stuff like big windup greatsword attacks. To me, poise was like just being able to facetank no matter what weapon you were using.
>>320053489
Not at all.
Poise is like hyper armor, except you have it at ALL times, even while idle. And poise can be broken, while hyper armor will allow the whole animation before you can be staggered again.
>>320053738
Okay so the way its utilized is slightly different. Is that based on armor or weapons used. Because if it's based on weapons then once again there is no point in using heavy armor.
>>320051397
I think chalice dungeons are good.
>>320049047
Old one from demon souls, is a Great One from the Bloodborne universe.
>>320042540
>>320053336
If you're basing that on the network stress test, you could be wrong. Equip load wasn't in the stress test either
>>320052956LOL
>>320045934
Everything points out that it'll be Bloodborne with armour, so no. It won't be better than DaS2.
>>320054149
>I like running through the same convoluted hallways picking up items that only allow me to enter new hallway mazes
>I like fighting bosses in the smallest rooms possible when they require large ones

>>320049624
Gone forever.
>>320054101
Let me rephrase that actually. It's okay for it to be activated for certain attacks. But like in Dragon's Dogma it should also be based on certain statistics of your character. Like for instance using certain attacks with GS gives maybe 300 damage worth of hyper armor. But then also having a certain heavy armor maybe adds another 200 damage worth of hyper armor where each piece is around 50 hyper armor given towards all attacks etc.
>>320054149
Challenge dungeon is shit.
Miyazaki thinks that Chalice will make up for the lack of content this game have, but it ended up being one of the worst addition he could add to these 'souls' game.
>>320054445
Any game without a dead zone is better than DS2.
>>320054470
>when they require large ones
Lol git gud faggot
>>320051734
>>320054709
>implying you didn't find Chalice dungeon Rom complete bullshit
>>320054665
You talking about all the dead ends or what?
>>320045216
>>320053648
why would you even think this??? based miyazaki is directing DS3.
>>320054470
>>320054625
>I like running through the same convoluted hallways picking up items that only allow me to enter new hallway mazes
FRCs actually allow you to find really good loot, like tier 3 runes, weapon variants, and powerful gems; the story chalices are the ones with 99% ritual materials as loot. They are also very challenging to run through, with your HP being halved, and incredibly powerful enemies lurking around every corner. I just don't think you guys have done the actual end-game chalice experience, spelunking with 2 other bros not knowing what is around the corner. It could be a literal BOSS as a mob out of nowhere, or some strange enemy or enemy variant you have never seen before. I don't think they are a waste of time or shitty at all and I like them.
>>320054805
I know I did. I beat him every time but what was fucking annoying is how the mother fucker just spams 2-3 aoe attacks in a row so you have to wait for him to finish before attacking and by that time more spiders are there.
>>320054841
The controls.
>>320053084
Is that a retort nigga or are you agreeing with me
>>320053762
>P2P isn't automatically worse than dedicated servers
But it is
>It depends on a lot of factors
That's the main problem of P2P connections, a dedicated server provides a much more reliable connection
>>320054101
>>320054560
if I remember correctly, battle arts engange hyper armor, maybe other heavy weapons can too
>>320055007
Oh yeah I forgot about that. Been awhile since I touched the piece of trash.
>>320055081
If your close to the dedicated server and if netcode is any fucking good. But then it sucks if your not. It's still up in the air whether its worth a fuck or not.
>>320055007
DeS have worse control than DaS2 faggot.
>>320054949
I don't think anyone with half a mind would enjoy running into a boss as a mob while having half health. That's just cheap game design
>>320055231
Comedy gold
I want the game to be good enough all the way through to not be bored halfway through NG+. Since bonfire ascetics aren't going back so you can't choose which zones and bosses to play in NG+, they need to do it. I just can't touch DaS after Anor Londo for some reason (even at the start of Anor Londo sometime), and NG+ is a big replayability factor for me, especially if they change the enemy placements like in DaS2.
I don't want ADP to be back, but if something like Resistance comes back, at least make it useful. I still want END + VIT to stay though.
Initially, I wanted a mix of SM + SL calculation for multiplayer (especially for twinking), but after seeing how the host has 40% more health than the invader and NEEDS to have 1 to 3 summons to be invaded (in addition to how the invader can get estus back the more he kills summons, so if there's 1 summon, he can get 2 estus back, if there are 3 summons, he can get 6 estus back), I have no problem with twinking anymore (I'm probably even going to do it myself, to see how balanced it is around that).
>>320055234
You don't have to have half HP, it's a rite you can do to heighten the drop rate of rarer items.
It also makes it more of a thrill. You can die at any point. Some people just don't see the appeal of chalice dungeons but a lot of people actually enjoy them as evidenced by how active the Short Root Ritual Chalice is.
>>320055204
>If your close to the dedicated server
That's the whole point of dedicated servers, properly implemented, the game can give you the choice to enter the one that provides you the best connection, unlike P2P which is kinda random from, netcode on the other hand is a different problem.
>>320055231
Am I being rused?
>>320055343
>pepe poster
Anon pleased...
>>320055231
That's laughable.
>>320055753
>>320055787
Are you guys retarded?
Go boot up your PS3 and replay DeS and see for yourself.
>>320055231
The engine is a bit more primitive in Demons and the movement is like an unpolished DaS1, but even an unpolished DaS1 is loads better than DaS2.
I can't stand how movement feels in Dark Souls 2. It's like all of Drangleic is slicked down in oil and your character is slipping around everywhere. I fucking hate it.
>>320055934
I actually recently played Demon's SOuls for the first time ever a few months ago, after playing every other game including Bloodborne.
>>320041830
Remove soul memory, cap stamina at 40 again and make It raise equip load again. that's literally it
>>320055478
>NEEDS to have 1 to 3 summons to be invaded
I wouldn't count on that being how it works in the final game. They were trying to stress test the servers, so that's why it ended up 3v1 and 4v2 so much.
>>320055934
Demon's Souls has extremely tight and precise controls, what are you talking about?
>>320055934
Don't try to convince nostalgic folks. Also what movement system you like is mostly subjective anyways as they all have major issues desu.
>>320056264
Nostalgic? I play DeS at least once a week.
>>320056264
Dark Souls 2 is simply cumbersome, there's nothing subjective about it.
>>320056132
I hope it stays that way. MUH PVP fags need to fuck off. At least the host gets a huge health bonus if not.
>>320056040
If felt awkward, clunky and it is worse than DaS2.
Especially in combat.
>>320056206
Its just faster, which makes it look more 'precise'.
A 60fps DaS2 gives an almost the same 'responsive' feel minus those awful animation.
>>320056406
That's not really the point friend. Anyways I'm too tired, continue arguing with the other idiot I'm out.
>>320056545
You have no idea what you're talking about. Do you even know what a dead zone is?
>>320056520
Yeah, I agree. That's the problem I have with red invasions with these games. The attacker has nothing to lose and all the advantages. The health bonus will even the odds at least a little.
>>320056132
I don't know about that. That's how it worked in Bloodborne outside of certain zones.
I'm excited for fighting even more players then what was possible before, network test looked fun but didn't get to play.
>>320056825
Yeah, maybe that's the direction they're going, but I wouldn't count on it just because that's how Bloodborne did it. I think it's more likely they just wanted to get as many players together so they could stress test the server.
>>320057563
Why do you think that?>>320057563
THe one thing I really want is good pacing.
I really can't replay Dark Souls because the second half of the game is boring and uneven, after AL I just stop playing.
I think BB was better in that area, I only played it once, but I don't remember any areas that I actively disliked.
>>320045216
Dark Souls 2 was a good game. It just had a few glaring issues. Like DS1.
>>320041830
i want a return of interesting and good characters similarly to solaire and sigmyer

>Discuss what you want
I want the worst type of souls fans to fucking HATE this game.
The types I speak of? The type who experienced DaSII as their first souls game.
When watching footage of Demon Souls, Dark Souls and Bloodborne, they are all heard to be saying trash such as "WTF why does the movement seem so floaty! Whats with the limited fast travel?"
I want Dark Souls III to be LITERALLY unplayable for what I consider to be the most cancerous soulsfags in existence.
>>320057767
Bloodborne's a separate game. It did a lot of things differently from the other souls games that I don't expect to be in DaS3. Also, the test was a network test designed specifically to stress the network. They wanted to put as many players in-game as possible.
Again, it's just speculation, but I think it's reasonable.
>>320058484
>DaS issues
One of the levels is unfinished.
>DaSII issues
The entire game has shitty level design, enemy design, half the bosses are shit, and it broke parrying, backstabs, poise, and magic.
Completely equivalent.
>>320059478
>>One of the levels is unfinished.
which one?
>>320058923
Are... are you ok, anon?
>>320050472
Are you being serious right now?
>>320041830
Just want my fucking murakumo back, the one in DS2 was pure garbage.
>>320060475
Wasn't the murakumo shown in the PSX trailer?
>>320049047
I actually see it fitting more in the Demon's Souls world.
But I can also interpret Bloodborne as taking place in the Age of man, after the flames have gone and everything is consumed by humanity
>>320060787
Haven't really been following trailers, was it looking good ?
>>320061069
I can't remember right now the original moveset, have a look yourself

It was looking like Dark Souls I remake in Bloodborne engine
>>320061253
>>320061350
Will have a look, thanks.
>>320059478
I love Dark Souls 1, but it's not just one level, the entire back half of that game is garbage.
>>320054878
And also being developed by the DS2 team.
>>320061546
Source?
>>320050472
>>320061546
Nothing wrong with that, as long as they aren't forced to change the whole game mid-development
Kinda wish they would make resistances more important. I liked needing to be ready for Smelter Demon with fire res gear.
Makes armor actually important.
>>320061446
The last half of the game drops off a bit, but lost izalith is the only actual bad area. Tomb of Giants is short but does what it does pretty well, Dooks has a couple things that annoy me like the unavoidable(unless you skip) death required to progress but is a solid area overall and the crystal caves are neat, and new londo gets a bit dull on repeat playthroughs but the first time through is great and really atmospheric.
>>320042147
This.
