I played DS1 twice and I stopped playing DS2 after Pursuer because the game was so fucking terrible. Environment is shit, level design is shit, enemy design is shit, combat is actually a step back with ridiculous hit detection. What an awful game. Is Bloodborne worth picking up?

Pyro is complete easy mode in the first game. For the majority of the game I ran pyro w/ Halberd and then swapped to Silver Knight Sword (I think that's what it's called), but for every boss I would I just empty out all my pyro spells without going near them. It was so fucking mind-blowing easy

I got pissed at the gargs, so I went through Darkroot, into the basin, through the Valley, and ended up ringing Quelagg's bell first.

This was after doing the catacombs first

I'm going to get DS2 during the winter sale, but I'm a bit hesitant since people say it sucks donkey dong. Kinda tempted to just wait until DS3 comes out so I can experience the game at launch.

Probably a network test thing, like the need for a white phantom to be invaded.

In the last gameplay we got the fire resin lasted very fucking long.

That being said, I prefer resins and buffs lasting 5 seconds, but being more easy to come by. It balances better and stop the pvp from being a buff fest.

When Dark Souls first came out on PC is when the term "artificial difficulty" started getting used. PC Players are so bad at the game that they use cheat engine to boost their stats to 99, be invincible, and just stomp over people in invasions.

I know that it's a dragon weapon, but I was mad that it didn't have any scaling. When I first cut off that fucking dragon's tail, I was running a full quality build, and I was pretty butthurt that using the sword would put all those levels to waste. because otherwise, it's pretty cool

if they made it so if you fell into the pit you had to climb out and start from after you fall, i think it would be a lot better. the run from the bonfire is long as hell and not even challenging, so its just tedious. i'm pretty sure they playtested it like 2 times, and after the second time they made it so the boss keeps it's damage and called it a day
>>
>>320082778
I actively hate the centipede too. I actually think in a lot of ways it's worse than bed of chaos. Firedrake is bad but only because it's the second reskin. The boss fight itself is fine. The centipede is one of the glitchiest fights in the game

Bed of Chaos sucks because you can randomly die to it.

The game is set up in such a way that if you keep your wits about you it's possible to complete the game without dying once.

Or at least it would have been if not for this gimmick boss.

Same thing happened to me with Dark Souls. I borrowed it off of a friend and tried to play it on my Xbox 360 hooked up to my PC CRT monitor. Just didn't feel it.

Gave the PC version a try a year and a half later and now it is easily the best game I've played in nearly a decade.

Just didn't feel it. The game was literally too dark to see (even with brightness turned up) and I couldn't get the hang of the combat. I never even went past the asylum demon.

Earlier this year I downloaded the PC version on a whim because

This is one of my least favorite parts of bloodborne. I love that game and think it's my favorite in terms of the main single player, but goddamn is build variety lacking. Even though all the weapons are extremely unique and have vast, versatile movesets, making cosplay builds was some of the most fun i've had. Not enough variety

So should I play this game with my PS4 controller, my 360 controller, or keybaord it?

Oh fuck, did you die mid-sentence? Are you ok anon??????

Yes, game performance is good. Unfortunately that causes a bug in the engine since animation frames are tied to the effects they do, which is fucking retarded, but effectively this makes durability run lower twice as fast as consoles. Some see it as more of a challenge? I find it an annoyance.

I don't understand why I never get bored of it. I went through so many playthroughs like this.

IMO DS2 has more fun, but less memorable levels. The bosses mostly don't stack up, but it's still a pretty damn fun game, and the DLC areas are top notch. Get Scholar of the First Sin during the sale, noone plays vanilla anymore. For reference I've played through DS1 twice and DS2 5 times

seriously jesus christ why did they feel the need to make every piece of armor some form of trenchcoat?

blood souls had some nice weapons though most of them are a shit and there really isn't many even with the new dlc
>>
As long as Dark Souls 3 doesn't have million-folded katanas that cut through steel like water and create magical waves that extend feet beyond the blade itself then I don't even give a shit if it has DaS1 backstabs. You can punish fishers. You can't punish Grorious Nipponese Steel clipping through your lagging hit box.
>>
>>320095321
it will definitely have katanas, even fucking bloodborne has them and it's supposed to be set in london.

i like some of the dlc weapons. The pizza cutter is pretty great and the mlgs reveal/boss was the hypest moment in the series for me, i don't even like the weapon that much but goddamn that was so fucking cool

rakuyo is my favorite weapon in the series, over the claymore

bkgs is super fun to use in both pvp and pve, but after making a sl200 Black Knight build I think I can say with confidence that the bk Greataxe was the best bk weapon

Whips are pretty shit as a main weapon in 1, they would be better in 2 if they didn't have such shit durability.

The only problem about DaS2 were the broken hitboxes.
I still hate those fucking giant knights at Dragon Shrine.

>>320095747
>>320095986
I don't even mind the katanas existing. I understand that it's a Japanese game. But for fuck's sake, From, balance these weapons better than in DaS2. I don't think my soul can withstand another dark-buffed Chaos Blade or Monastery Scimitar.

>>320081705
It's dumb because first time facing it you are forced to die multiple times in order to understand its shitty attack pattern.

I would love the BK Axe more if the heavy attack was faster.
Launching niggas into space is the most fun thing.

I hope magic overall is more balanced. It's so fucking op in every game they've made so far, except bloodborne where it's mostly underwhelming as hell. I just want it to be fun and viable but not op and ez mode

No, you can easily do this by keeping a clean inventory or sorting your shit and then committing how many button presses to switch your loadout to memory

but someone in /dsg/ actually did make an AHK script for basically instant ringswap

Because hitting the first two weak points is easy, you just run along the dark rim in the middle of the room to get to the second one.
But once you have to jump down is when shit gets annoying, because the fucker attacks every .5 seconds and can push you into the hole mid-jumping.

Good times, I made a thread on /v/ asking about it, and it ended up people talking about Taurus Demon's cock. I've still got a screencap of it.

Damn, I love the Souls series. Even DaS2.

I really want to try Bloodborne, but I'm currently sinking all of my time into Xenoblade X.

>>320067513

I wish Velka's rapier was better. It looked awesome and had cool slashes instead of poke spam like the regular rapier.
>>
>>320097135
I agree with this.

Magic in Dark Souls as a whole is completely fucked. It's so easy to spam it with virtually no trade-offs or consequences. The spells largely do the work for you, as well. It's so fire-and-forget that a scrub can just spam the same shit with no problem until he wins or gets killed. It takes zero skill.

I'd be more in favor of a system where magic is used to enhance the melee system and simply do away entirely with the ranged bullshit. Give me a spell that sets my sword on fire or shoots a MLGS-like blast that's difficult to land without setup but does ridiculous damage if it does. Get rid of catalysts and shit altogether. Make magic more situational and difficult to use than just "press button, collect souls."
>>
>>320098070
Looking at the dark souls 3 beta gives me some hope. They said they don't want any direct upgrades to spells, and a lot of the spells seemed to be countered by enemy speed. Soul dart looked fun and soul greatsword seemed way quicker and more balanced than in 2
>>
>>320068906
Only issues I have with DS2 is that every single area has a boss and the lot of them are very undeveloped compared to the stuff in DaS1, and the really stellar boss fights are all "huge humanoid with weapon." That being said, the problems people have with a lot of the bosses in DaS2 are also prevalent with the bosses in Bloodborne which is that they have some sort of stupid gimmick (Smelter Demon coating himself in fire = Blood Starved Beast coating himself in poison mist), are way too easy (Dragonrider = Witch of Hemwick,) or just ganks/bosses with a shitload of adds (Rom = Freja.) I love both games but a lot of the bosses in both dont come nearly as close to the best fights in DaS1 imo except maybe Fume Knight.

The movement and control is just a lot better though and they try to balance shielding vs rolling which works in some ways but totally fucking fails in others (ADP is an abortion of an idea.)
>>
>>320084297

You got sotfs right? I mostly agree with your sentiments, I'm just wondering how the dlc tickled your fancy compared to the rest of the game.

I actually thought a few moments from the dlcs were at the level, and even topped, some of the best ds1 moments. Ivory King boss fight comes to mind.

Not saying you were shit talking bloodborne but i just want to say a few stuff. when it comes to bsb i agree, the poison didn't seem necessary, the boss already felt fine difficulty wise. The dragonrider sucks, not because it's easy, but because it's boring. The witches felt interesting and puzzly in a demons souls sorta way. A lot of des bosses are easy but have unique gimmicks that are interesting enough. And then when it comes to adds, or just ganks and enemy groups in general, the speed of bloodborne makes them way more fun and manageable. DaS2 is the slowest game in the series, so fighting groups is extremely tedious and boring. In bloodborne, it's fun to get surrounded and skillfully attack through groups thanks to the speed and rally system. I like fighting multiple things at once in bb

As much as I love BB, that game has some truly terrible or just not fun boss fights and all the really fun ones can be cheese by parrying or have some other stupid gimmick to them that drags the fight down.

I was really late to the Souls hype train and finally got my first go at it with SotFS on PS4 and since I had nothing to compare it so I enjoyed it for the most part until I got to Shrine of Amana. That zone is so awful and I lost interst once I picked up Bloodborne and just never came back to it. Im thinking of returning to the game and trying to finish it with my Mace/pyro guy. Am I cheating myself out of any memorable zones by not finishing it. I feel like theres still quite a bit of game left.

So far
Hated - Shrine of Amana, Harvest Valley, No-Man's Wharf

Loved - Lost Batille, Huntsman's Copse, Drangleic Castle

How do I truly git gud? I've beat ng+++ at base level and NG at base level + various other restrictions, but I still don't feel like I'm good - I just have a lot of patience and know boss patterns and stuff. What can I do to git gud?
>>
>>320102814
Flaming arrows and gang rapes. It was the first zone to truely ass rape me. I was stuck there for a few days. Its really ugly and the boss was a pathetic letdown.

The boat thing was neat and felt like a huge victory when I finally pulled the level.

>>320104178
Yes

>>320105142
Because DaSII introduced Zerg-rush tactics and mob fights and it took DeS/DaSI babbies by surprise.

Also because 97% of /v/ is comprised of contrarian, hipster fags who hate popular things just because they're popular.
