Are you excited for Dark Souls III, /v/?
What are you hoping to see in terms of location? And what about lore?
>>320827745
I hoping to see a complete 180 like what BB did. Maybe some Egyptian lore and creatures since that's what they seem are going for
>>320827837
>Egyptian lore and creatures
how would that even fit into the established lore
>>320827745
It will be first dark souls i haven't been spoiled for. So yeah, i'm excited, my bet they will delay PC release again.
>yfw the age of dragons comes back
>>320827745
>Are you excited
No. Series should have ended after DaS1. I'll still play it anyway though.Hopefully we'll see some interesting new locations, it'd also be good to briefly revisit some older ones just for fanservice.
>Going back in time to Anor Londo at its peak
Or:
>Visiting Anor Londo in the present day when it's basically a ruin and overrun with monsters
Lore will be fucked, but I'd like to fight the DaS1 (and maybe 2) protagonists as bosses. I'd also like the endings to be better explained and wrap up the series as a whole. Maybe even have more than just 2 "light" or "dark" endings.
I have muster up the willpower to leave this board two weeks before release
>>320827975
>Visiting Anor Londo in the present day when it's basically a ruin and overrun with monsters
we already revisited it tho
>>320827883
Same way giant spiders do or maya pyramids? Why not giant dog people?
>>320827883
It won't because it will take place in a different land far far away just like how dark souls 2 did :)
>>320827918
Steam says 12 april, I don't know about the console version
It already looks like shit and the netcode is probably awful again so there's not much to look forward to. They might also shit it up with DLC because they got away with it last time.
>>320827938
>Hollows worshipping a dead dragon in the trailer
inb4 hollow dragons or some shit
>>320827883
I'd rather they completely toss out the established lore so we don't end up with another Dark Souls 2 blunder.
>>320828187
But we already know it's still about the cycle.
>>320827745
Super excited, because Miyazaki himself is working on it again.
I loved Bloodborne, so I don't think anything will go awry.
>>320827975
Anor Londo was already abandoned and had monsters in it the first time we saw it, so that doesn't sound like much of a change.
>>320828154
You can also see dead hollows who partially turned into trees.
WHAT IF ARCHTREES ARE ACTUALLY DEAD DRAGONS?
>>320828154
>hollows turning into trees
>stone dragons
>all those dead bodies and statues without heads
>lindworms in the leaks
Some crazy shit is going on man.
>>320828096
I mean the real Anor Londo we played in DaS1, not the fake recreated one. Alternatively it'd be nice to have a town that's either not completely abandoned (i.e. it has many NPCs you can interact with) or is somewhat flourishing.Only for it all to be an illusion/get destroyed later
>>320828187
What does the lore have to do with DS2 being a blunder?
DS2 sucked because of SM, life gems and a severe drop in quality concerning level design and polish.
>>320828297
>>320828304
>dead giants turn into trees
>vendrick stole the throne of want from the giants
>you take up the throne of want at the end of ds2
>hollows are turning into trees
>>320828304
I remember the days when Bloodborne was a game about werewolves.
Let's hope from goes crazier and crazier every game they make.
>>320828379
Thank you smug loliface poster
>>320828361
Because on top of all of that we got a bunch of item descriptions that amounted to "remember this item from DS1? It's back! It appears to have come from some ancient place no one remembers!"
>>320828361
This. Lore was alright, specially with DLC.
>>320828304
>>320828379
>>320828380
why is the sun bleeding?
>>320828462
Blame the dumbass new directors for that too.
The original director of DeS, DaS and BB is working on DaS3 again, so I am not really worried.
>>320828462
It was the whole point of the game.
>>320828556
Maybe it's actually a structure (Dragon roost?) that just looks like that due to the angle of view?
>>320828556
We are going to the sun, son. It's going to be a fun ride.
>>320828556
Were these pre E3 leaks legit? because they look great
>>320827745
I only hope From didn't fill it with knights again.
>>320828845
Or it is BB2 leaks, which would be terrible and mean they work on two games at the same time.
i'm kind of meh about it, it'll probably be pretty mediocre considering it isn't a passion project
mechanically it should be pretty fun but on the art design side of things i'm betting it'll be really shallow
>>320828556
it's grossly incandescent
>>320828906
Why? Knights are great.
>>320827745
I want the snakes back and for us to learn what are they and what do they want
>>320828932
They have been constantly working on 2 games at the same time ever since Dark Souls.
>>320829043
I always thought snakes were like shogoths in lovecraft lore - pseudo dragons.
>>320829135
No wonder their programmers suck due to overworking.
>>320827837
>latest gameplay shows a boss that in fact a tree with something inside that has long as shit arms
>in Egyptian lore, the tree of life represents creation and destruction of everything
>Osiris, God of the DEAD was trapped inside a coffin which was then overgrown by the root of a ancient tree
Huh
>>320827745
If this really is the last Souls game then maybe they can find a way to wrap things up.
>>320829238
How do their programmers suck?
>>320828304
>lindworms in the leaks
what leaks?
My biggest hopes
1. That the new "Battle Arts" are grounded, weighty and not anime flashy. I don't mind super powerful attacks, but they shouldn't be stupid shit like the Greatsword of Artorias's jumping sonic spin sword attack.
2. Bosses that are smart and can't be beaten by counter-rolling. I thought that this was only a problem in Dark Souls 2, but it was also a problem in Bloodborne. I want much smarter boss/enemy AI in general.
3. No more stupid stats. Make the stat system lean. Every stat should matter. No more RES like in Dark Souls 1. No ADP bullshit like in Dark Souls 2. Make END matter, unlike in Bloodborne.
4. Make it so that STR weapons can compete with DEX weapons in PvP. Don't make spears or katanas the strongest weapons in the game. Allow us big hammer or big club users to counter them somehow.
5. Make fat rolling viable. I WANT to be able to play a slow and fat knight, not just a ninja flipping bastard.
HONORARY MENTION:
Fix the goddamn strafing speed and make it not floaty. Webm related.
>>320827745
I just want to see a map as interconnected as Dark Souls 1 to be honest
>Are you excited for Dark Souls III, /v/?
Oh yes, i'm very excited about another rehash from From Software, can't wait for more bugged hitboxes, clusterfuck of story, boring NPCs, terrible on-line and a season pass in 3 months after the release of the game and a "super ultra hyper" version of the game after one year of the release of the first and incomplete version of the game.
>>320829413
netcode
hitboxes
they couldn't make proper double click without delay(still not fixed?)
graphics do not have even commonest of features indie devs with 5 bucks budget implement
I probably forget something, it's been a while since i played last time.
Oh and my personal nitpick - if you press more than 2 buttons on keyboard controls have lag about half a second, and it is necessary to press a lot of buttons to play game properly on kb/m.
>>320829708
>>320829690
>Make fat rolling viable
You know you'll just get fucked by ninja flipping twinksor hackers.
>>320829690
>Make fat rolling viable
Fucking why? If you want to not be a fat slob, either level up that end or wear light armor, simple as that.
>>320829870
I'm not worried about hackers.
I'm buying both the PC version and PS4 version.
I'll play the PC version for the glorious 60 fps and the graphics mods.And the mega muling so I'll never have to waste time grinding for super rare item drops like Titanite Slabs.
I'll only do PvP on the PS4 version so no hackers there.
>>320828556
It's the holy grail.
>>320829690
Points 1,2,3 are already confirmed by network test.
You can relax.
Point 4 is bullshit, str weapons already are more than just viable. Point 5 is bullshit too.
>>320827745
I just want them to return movement speeds to ones they had in DS1.
>>320829935
Because it's fucking fun to roleplay as jolly fat knights fighting demons? Maybe they could balance things by making it so that you get extra hyper armor on all of your attacks once you're at fat rolling weight load.
>>320830040
>2,3
Bullshit. The Dancer of the Frigid Valley was pretty easy to exploit and punish.
And how the fuck can you confirm point 3 since the network tests don't allow you to see your stats?
>>320828556
Sun dungeon confirmed. We /DDS/ now boyz
>>320829935
Well ideally you don't want to roll at all on a fatrolling build. Your playstyle revolves around tanking - high strength and stamina. It's certainly viable as-is, but I do think making fatrolling more viable (how? increased iframes?) will make it a bit OP.
NO SPIDER BOSSES
>>320830078
>extra hyper armor
That would be way too fucking OP.
Also I don't see how fatrolling is any fun except for the chuckle you get from seeing it for the first time.
>>320830029
Rejoice
>>320830205
you wish
this time the little spiders will also cast spells
>>320830237
It's fun roleplay.
It's no less boring to play through the game for the umpteenth time as someone who can somersault into the air at light speed 5-6 times in a row.
>>320830078
>Because it's fucking fun to roleplay as jolly fat knights fighting demons?
>jolly fat knight
>fast rolling
NAH
They should introduce a system where if you get over a certain weight threshold, initiating a forward roll against an enemy will damage them. Either by changing the roll animation into a running bash or just having the roll itself induce damage.
>>320829690
>Make fat rolling viable. I WANT to be able to play a slow and fat knight, not just a ninja flipping bastard.
That's what shields are for, aren't they?
>>320830331
>I don't have any reading comprehension.
>>320830420
No, simply because it would turn pvp into a situation where people just I-frame fat roll you to death. While hilarous would be beyond annoying to deal with.
>>320830474
The fat rolls would still be slow and the forward roll in particular should have no i frames. I think it could be very easy to avoid an attack like that by rolling yourself.
>>320830582
>Battle devolve into even more rolling than is already featured
Anything, ANYTHING that encourages more rolling doesn't need to exist.
That everything that drops armor pieces respawns so I can farm forever for fashion (see Trident faggots in 1 or Heide Knights in 2)
As a PvP fag, I want one thing and one thing only:
LAN mode.
So that I can hold local PvP tournaments without any netcode bullshit.
Can you imagine pixel-perfect spacing for PvP?
>>320830420
I would simply make it a stagger. The more weight you have, the more poise the other player will need to not get staggered.
I want to climb a huge ass tower that falls more and more into disrepair the higher you get. Sometimes you should have to shimmy along the outside on narrow ledges etc.
No archers though, please.
>>320830864
>No archers though, please
Worse. https://youtu.be/jjK5f7ozzOM?t=27s
>>320827745
I want the world to be completely fucked, I want a dark as shit ending that would make Metal bands weep at the cover art it would inspire.
I want bosses that are dynamic in every single way that Bloodborne's are. Including and especially the music changes.
I want weapons that are actually unique, not 6 straightswords that have slightly different stats and the same moveset.
I want weapon-arts to function as if they were trick-weapons on crack, I want different movesets, unique as fuck utility options and beefy fucking attacks
I want bosses to actually react to co-op, and have co-op specific attacks and strats for dealing with them.
I want PvP covenants like the bell-tower, and arenas so the tryhards have a containment zone.
I want lore that all connects and builds upon itself.
I want this to be a game that is a worthy end to the souls series since this is it.
>>320830995
>that recycled enemy from bloodborne
>complete with the same screaming audio
>that enviroment
Th..thanks Miyazaki...
>>320831015
>I want bosses to actually react to co-op, and have co-op specific attacks and strats for dealing with them.
This would be awesome. I like doing co-op with people but I don't like how it makes every boss fight extremely easy.
>>320831015
>I want bosses that are dynamic in every single way that Bloodborne's are. Including and especially the music changes.
They already confirmed that all bosses would have multiple phases.
I want a true successor to Latria, which seems to have been teased in the first gameplay trailer. Fromsoft seems to have been tryng to recreate Latria with things like Sen's, Duke's, and Bloodborne, but it's missing that overbearing feeling of unknown dread and terror.
Bloodborne came close, but the whole Lovecraft twist was only brought in at the end of the game when only two levels are left, one of said levels you have to speedrun through because the enemies all respawn and you can't even properly take in the atmosphere. Up until then the whole game just feels like an action packed romp through a werewolf slash-em-up.

>>320831108

you deaf nigga
The moves are also different.
>>320827745
I want them to:
>remove ADP
>remove fast travel from level 1
>remove enemies with unlimited stamina
>maybe re-add poise
>make the darksign item have some use
>not cut the second half of the game
>have some familiar characters
>actually explain what the fuck is going on
>make a game set in the past where you can see the world in its full glory
>>320830995
I'm willing to put up with that if I can get mah tower.
Also, those tall enemies remind me of Bloodborne and also holy shit, that boss.
>>320827745
Yes I am looking forward to it.
I am hoping for more detailes environments (DS2 was bland and lifeless)
I am hoping for a less bloodborne-like feel than what has been shown so far indicates.
>>320831256
>remove ADP
Yes
>remove fast travel from level 1
No. It was fine in BB.
>remove enemies with unlimited stamina
All enemies in the Souls games have unlimited stamina. Some just hide this fact better than others.
>maybe re-add poise
No.
>make the darksign item have some use
Why?
>not cut the second half of the game
Yes.
>have some familiar characters
No.
>actually explain what the fuck is going on
Lrn2readitemdescriptions
>make a game set in the past where you can see the world in its full glory
Too bad. Miyazaki said it's set untold years after DaS1 and DaS2.
>>320831234
>you deaf nigga
The previous Souls enemy were all undead, they have this hollow sound to them.
The enemy in the video screech like those in BB .
Even if it not exactly same, having the enemy sound more like those in BB is not a good sign for me.
Fat rolling should be buffed I agree.
At least make heavy armor better so there is a reason to wear it.
>>320831256
Yes
No, its fine
Sure
Never, poise is a shitty system
It already has one
Absolutely
Never
They explain a lot
Too bad, its after DS2 and you'll like it
While I'm excited for lore and location
I'm way more excited for the gameplay and level design. I love the lore in dark souls but they absolutely have nailed gameplay in almost all of their souls games. That first boss fight looks amazing. I'm so hyped
>>320830181
>>320829935
Why not make fatrolling the same speed and iframes as a normal roll, but with a slow recovery and then make most boss attacks tankable/blockable except for the few times you desperately need to roll.
>>320831679
ayee a fellow anon who doesn't despise the souls games and actually gives them credit <3
>>320831256
Yes
YES
Yes
Only if it's rebalanced
I think it's fine but ok
Please
No
Maybe
No
>>320830995
I want them to have more bosses like this, where mid-way into the fight it goes full "oh shit".
I kinda regret opening that link, experiencing that boss unspoiled would have been quite the thing.
>>320831746
Haven't even read the thread homie
I'm just excited as fuck for this game. I love des, das, and bb, and ds2 was ok
But damn I'm so excited for this game dude. Everything looks so good, except that it's delayed 2 weeks on pc
>>320831839
>except that it's delayed 2 weeks on pc
It's delayed on all platforms for 2 weeksexcept japan
>>320831839
It hasn't been delayed just for PC. It just releases in Japan two weeks earlier. It's going to come out on all platforms at the same time.
>>320831691
Because that would remove too many of the negatives of fat-rolling.
Fat-rolling is bad. Level your END/VIG/ETC, wear less shit, or don't roll.
>>320832008
>>320831963
Looks like we'll have to avoid /v/ before april hits
>>320832192
I like being spoiled tho
makes me more excited about the game
>>320832192
>before
when
>>320827745
After all these souls games and bloodborne its pretty easy to imagine what will the game have
same setting, spooky abandoned kingdom
lore will be the same, king goes hollow and his kingdom goes to shit
>>320827745
A Wii U version.
>>320832346
>implying the wii u is powerful enough to run current gen games
>>320832417
that's not fair
