I think with the new theme with the embers and shit, and with no pyromancy during the network test that they might be doing some sort of twist with pyromancy. I can't see it using the mana bar, I hope they do it well though.

Fuck off Totalcancer, Bloodborne was 30 and played just fine.

I will not be surprised if non-Estus healing items will be disabled for invaders, shit like Seed of a Tree of Giants, and other mechanics to try and coddle hosts and fuck over invasions.

>>323338336
>that last one
>>323338336
Actually, it looks like it's more of a combination of DaS2 and DaS1 backstabs, meaning it's still pretty fast to backstab someone but there is a moment during the animation when you can actually dodge out of the way.
>>323338424
bloodborne wasnt even stable though, that shit dropped everywhere
>>323338459
They are basically completely killing online.
This series invented the invasion mechanic altogether, when coming up with something original in this day and age is actually hard as fuck since pretty much everything's already been tried already, yet they just can't stop shitting on it.
It's just baffling.
They completely ruined dark souls 2's online system by not giving us a permanent invasion item and soul memory. In bloodborne they also trashed it, although not as hard, by making you fight ganksquads all the time.
Most of these things were done to prevent twinking but it only made twinkers the standard. I have never seen a single invasion in bloodborne that wasn't a fully finished character with chalice gems and these are the ones I use to invade as well.
DeS is the only game that understood invasions and made them part of the actual game because it rewarded you by giving you half your HP back. I wish we could go back to such a simplistic, straight forward and fully functional formula like this one.
>>323338735

>>323339078
Tons of people who played the demos said that at least against enemies they would go in for a backstab and in the middle of the initial "stab" there would be a moment where the enemy was still moving, I also saw a DaS3 network test PvP video where someone did actually dodge the backstab, though I can't find it.

They should make a covenant specifically for that "hiding in plain sight" shit people have been pulling. If you can get somebody to time out the invasion and not take damage you get some sort of reward in return.

I'm actually looking forward to see the reaction of people who only play on PC when they see how good they made the hitboxes in this, since it's using bloodborne's engine. The parallax bumping is also incredible, like in pic related. I think you guys are gonna like it. I just wish they'd stop shitting on the invasions already.
The closer Dark Souls 3 is to launch the more worried I get that it will be as disappointing as Dark Souls 2.

>>323339115
So far, redditor stress testers are consistent with needing a friendly phantom in order to be invaded and works like Bloodborne's invasion system. Yes le redditor blah blah epic meme, I don't give a fuck as it's the only source so far about DaS3's invasion system.
Gonna take it wit ha grain of salt as it's just stress testing right now, but I'm not getting my hopes high right now. I don't understand the need to make this so one-sided against invaders. DaS1 had a good system where the host can actively heal his phantoms with Estus chugs while the invader could hide behind mobs.
>>323338624
Nothing personnel, kid
>>323341015
I just wish they could have kept bloodborne' blood splatter effect as well because that shit looks just fucking amazing. It's so goddamn satisfying to see your character drenched in blood after a long hard uphill fight. I'm gonna play this on PC and I really wish I could see that in all of its glory. And also they should have kept bloodborne's phantom styles as well. The fullbright shit from DaS 2 looks awful.
But yeah, I hope it's good. I'm gonna keep an open mind when playing it and not set my expectations high because that really didn't work out well for me in dark souls 2.
It looks really good to me. The only people that have a real reason to complain are players that are super into invasions and pvp.
>>323338336
BB's backstacb / viscerals were perfect. Can't wait to see the lagstagging fags in DaS3.
>>323341320
I don't even understand the point of coddling the hosts at all, Des/DaS1 had the right ideas, the invader is supposed to be a menace that poses a challenge to the player. If they want to stop twinking just lower the fucking base power on equipment per level of upgrade but greatly increase the scaling, it isn't that fucking hard. And twinking isn't even that much of a problem, at most you'll ever encounter only a couple of twinks at low levels when you can't handle them, if people really have a problem with twinks just play offline or implement the DaS2 thing where you can pay humanity to temporarily halt invasions.
>tfw all those links teasing you and you can't click them because you don't want spoilers
>>323338424
Fuck no, I still get drops in the game, and 30 FPS is shit that is only tolerable without drops.
Thank god they have some actual clutter in the levels this time. DS 1 + 2 were so devoid of fucking detail, maybe like one or two crates per room.

>>323340110
This is true. It begun with me looking at the weapon upgrading in DS1 because of the brutality of giving just barely enough materials in a playthrough and then not adequate explanation on how to use them.
Then while you are there you realise the weapon you are upgrading was not the best.
Then you try to figure out the best weapon, say "Holy shit, wait some gear can affect your attributes?", "There were whole zones I missed?" and next thing you know you've absorbed the wiki into your scalless proto-flesh.
Like that god damn ladder man I'm DS2, yes he appears when you beat the area but god damn.
>>323340380
A terrible game in many aspects that was fucking horrible compared to other games in the series? yeah.
>>323342206
gun parrying in PVP is hard as hell dude. I dont even play PVP in BB, but the windows were fucking tiny.
Also backstabs not being in pvp is a good thing.

>Invades someone elses game with the intent to kill them

Why do PVP babbies try to force rules on invasions?
>>323342374
I like letting the player explore and learn by testing things, but bloodborne for example has some retardation, such as the fact you can't trust your weapons actual AR because there's some hidden bullshit multiplier on them. It's needlessly complicated and retarded.
>>323342653
Miracles are buffs and healing, sorcery is spells and casting.
>>323342653
Sorcery is derived from the INT stat
Miracles from FAI
Sorceries tend towards magic missiles out the ass, whereas miracles are more towards buffing/heals/protection. Offense and defense, basically
>>323342021
I feel like DaSII had the right idea as far as invasions go (Introducing the Sentinels of Blue and allowing you to sacrifice effigies in order to temporarily prevent invasions.), but then they ruined it by not including a full red-eye orb and then by introducing SM.
>>323342206
Have you even been in a fight club? Or in an invasion at all? It's easy to parry enemies in your own game, but with latency involved it is actually difficult to parry another player consistently if they are not retarded. Guns aren't as safe as you think they are.
>>323342653
Different stat gets used, miracles are holy magic basically.
>>323342149
Im cautious.
Something about that combat makes me nervous.
>>323342547
>he thinks the boss fights were great
>he thinks the level design was great

Yeah, heres your (you)
>>323342653
One uses Intelligence and the other uses Faith. Sorcery tends to be shooting bolts of magic to attack from a distance while Miracles tend to be more geared to support and enhancement (healing yourself, buffing and electrifying your sword).

This is why bloodborne and demon souls will always be the best the soul series had to offer.
Bloodbone had the atmosphere and story like demon souls while giving you good gameplay mechanics.
The multiplayer is shit and you can only invade in two areas freely without getting gank squaded,but you can die so easily in BB that fighting 2 players at the same time int that much of a hassel
Demon souls had good atmosphere and story and great online aside from grass spam.
Faggots who complain about twinkers were the same casual scum who gave from a reason to destory the multiplayer of the souls games.
The whole point of invading someone is to fuck with them!
Its suppose to bee annoying.
Casuals ruin everything.
I'm surprised from even listened to their bitching since they are Japanese developers and they usually dont give the slightest shit whay american, tumblr,casual,sjw,faggots think in the slightest.
I honestly have very little faith in DarkSouls3 and dont plan on getting unless i hear they truly bring the souls games back to what they should be.

Gun parrying is pretty consistent if you know what you're doing. The fact that they'd include an option like that that you can perform at a range is pretty dumb.

I was just watching the cleric gameplay in the OP on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sjf4qeimYc and I noticed around the 13:20 mark when he's fighting the fat guy that the hitboxes are indeed just as perfect as the ones in Bloodborne.
Thank gor for this. I would drop the game hard if we wen't back to dark souls 2's abomination.
>>323343245
I agree with you. I really enjoy the chaotic nature of invasions but yet these retards simply cannot understand that it's called an INVASION, not a DUEL. I'd much rather have the freedom we had in DeS instead of this padded out bullshit they are pulling off because some random retard got his ass handed out to him by someone who probably wasn't even a twink and went online to cry about it.
Casuals really do ruin everything they touch.

You forgot the part where every magic type has a beam spell. Miracles have lightning bolts, hexes have black magic projectiles and sorcery has blue ones.
The main difference is that sorcery has a lot of utility spells like reduction of fall damage and stuff like that.
>>323341519
Played the Network test and it really felt like DS2 atmosphere plus the graphics and "fast" movement odmf DeS. Hope they bring more fantasy elements and just weird stuff instead of the stuff they try with DaS2. But the whole theme, you turning with an item into a faded ember, only makes me think in something that is losing that glorious bright fire of yore.
>>323343640

>>323343774
Oh yeah, that ember. I'm not really sure how I feel about it. It's really looking like an "easy mode".

No. Play the full series starting with the first one. I guess if you're a huge casual and don't really care much, you could probably get away with playing any one of them as a standalone experience, but I think you'd enjoy that less.
Ideally you'd play them in this order:

>Demon's Souls

This game was such a fucking disappointment, holy shit. Everything about it was such garbage. 9/10.
>>323349353
It's for the hardcore enthusiast of the series. It's the smallest game with the most flaws and least balanced content. I wouldn't blame somebody if they didn't get pulled into DeS. I'm not sure I'd respond the same way if they had trouble getting into DaS.
>>323349369

>>323349567
I don't know, Demon's Souls was my first souls game and it's fucking amazing. I'd start with that.
On the other hand, my first character was a magic build so it was really easy to cheese stuff.

>>323349904
It's fine as a first experience, nothing stopping you from enjoying the fuck out of it. But it's weakest of the series on an objective level and it's also not terribly accessible from a purchasing/accessing/playing standpoint what with it being exclusive for a last gen console.
>On the other hand, my first character was a magic build so it was really easy to cheese stuff.
That's part of the problem though. DeS isn't balanced. It's really easy to just breeze it with a magic build or something. Most of the bosses are boring gimmicks rather than interesting combat encounters. It's not as good. I enjoyed it as a followup to DaS1 after I'd decided I liked the series. It was inferior in almost every respect and I was honestly pretty let down by it overall. It's not worth prioritizing.DaS2:SotFS beats it out easily.

I really disliked SM4SH, and Mario Kart 8 was pretty much the only other thing I was interested in - it definitely met/exceeded expectations, but a party game can only carry me so far.
My favorite game of 2014 was Alien: Isolation, but outside of that it was... boring. There were a few good games, but almost no great ones.

I can't see your argument bro.

I still remember when Platinum devs joked about B2 as if it was "NEVEREVER" status. Pic related of course.

Just started playing through it this week. I like the torch mechanics but you can still see the lighting downgrades. Combat feels clunky as hell, especially after playing BB. Some of the armor is atrocious. Level design isn't as great as the other games. Soul memory seems like a shitty mechanic that punishes co-op rather than it's original intentions.

Let's face it, Zelda probably isn't going to come out this year. Not to mention we have barley seen any footage of it.
>>323353140
>that I was interested in
I just wasn't into the first Bayonetta so I never tried the second and Hyrule Warriors just isn't my speed. They both could be great, but since I'm a self-centered asshole I judge the quality of a year on what I liked.
I forgot about Tropical Freeze, though, that game was the shit. Never beat it, but the first few worlds are beautiful and fun.
>>323353562
I don't know, man, I have yet to believe that it is coming to NX, and that's the only reason that it'd get delayed.
As for why we haven't seen any footage, I think they Nintendo is trying to make E3 2016 as good as they can and they're just holding off on footage so they don't pull another E3 2015 - you know, blowing their load through Directs earlier in the year so their E3 presentation was disappointing.

>>323348459
Demon's Souls also gave you a 20% damage boost as an invader using the Foe's Ring, and another 20% for having pure black character tendency as a black phantom to make up for itAlthough I'm not sure that one actually works, the wiki says it exists but the damage difference between wearing the foe ring and not is really noticeable but I never really noticed my damage going up as my character tendency darkens.
And all we actually know about DaS3 is that hosts are likely to have an HP advantage, and in the network test it had Bloodborne style ganks-only invading. Its too early to call invading dead, but looking at the direction they've been going since Dark Souls 1 concern is definitely appropriate.
>>323337675

what a fucking buzzword, if anything, the combat was a little more restrictive while you attacked. Much less tracking on your attacks, specially in heavy weapons, rolling attacks don't track the same way they do in Bloodborne (Try going to DS2 after playing with BoM in Bloodborne), and polearms having sweetspots. But I don't mind these changes, it makes it different than the others and forced me to git gud when using weapons. I also like that I can roll towards any direction instead of the 8-way DS1 and BB have. None of the things you say were actually bad (at worse mediocre), the only really shit things about DS2 were Soul Memory, enemy depopulation (which you can get around), and how confusing some covenants could be.
>>323351154
I'm currently debating this as well but only due to hackers.
I can't stand PC's shit with these fucking cheat engine kiddies ruining everything. Dark Souls 1 on pc was disgracefully unbearing due to this.
>>323355115
Yeah, that's another consideration as well.
>>323355327
I'm thinking about going PC first since I never summon on my first playthrough and then imediately jump to the ps4 version so I can deal with an actually healthy online.
People who use cheat engine are genuinely pathetic.
>>323354816
>And all we actually know about DaS3 is that hosts are likely to have an HP advantage
And just like in BB, it's not that big of a deal.
> the network test it had Bloodborne style ganks-only invading
I know. I've played the test and I played lots of BB.
>Its too early to call invading dead, but looking at the direction they've been going since Dark Souls 1 concern is definitely appropriate.
It'll be fine. Really. I wouldn't worry about it. So long as the enemies are passive to the host and you can knock people off cliffs or hit them while they're fighting enemies, invasions will be viable and fun. I had a lot of fun in DaS3 invading during the test. I often was victorious and even if I wasn't. It was pretty intense stuff. You do know that invaders recover esutsu for killing players right? Like I was able to nuke a whole squad because I kept regenerating estus after each kill?
>>323355723
Sorry I mean passive to the invader. not the host.
>>323335939
>That Battle Axe moveset
>That Northern Warrior armor
Finally, will I be able to Viking Souls?
I like the mana bar for magic, seems like a better fit rather than a max uses.
>>323356167
Varangian armor not Viking enough for you?
>>323356197
Seems like a good balance between charges, QSB, and spices. It probably means melee users will have another stat to pump to if they want to use them Battle Arts.
>>323356401
The helmet looks gay as fuck. I'm just digging how aggressive the Battle Axe is this time around. It fucking blows in DS1 and it's sorta mediocre in DS2.
>>323338336
>scrub shitters still complain about backstabs
>>323349526
By "Bloodbornes biggest secret" I assume you mean the Lovecroftian stuff.
What was spoiled about DaS3? How would you even know?
>>323357024
Only scrubs rely on backstabs to begin with. You'll feel right at home.
>>323357024
It's not a matter of getting gud, it's about combat revolving around one movement being boring as fuck. Literally, there's no variants in strategy besides get behind and backstab and chain backstab

I returned a lot of times to the ruins of new londo, killed the guy to get the key to lower the water, died in the fucking tower, and moved to the forest to kill shit before I could return with the ring
>>323359758
did you beat the game

It's just one guy with endgame gear and equips strafing to the right for a backstab.

Has anything looked promising from what we've seen? It's already off my radar after watching the demos and trailers, just seems like a cash in with no ambition or vision in it.
>>323360004
Can't remember, had more than 40 hours in game
>>323360176
so you were consistently exploring and progressing through the game, beating bosses and making progress, and beat the game in a reasonable amount of time.
why did you need a map.
>>323360101
I mean, people thought the same thing about Human Revolution until they got their hands on the leak.
>>323360265
Because feeling lost is a shitty fucking feeling man. It's not about progressing or not it's about feeling like you're wasting your time doing jack fucking shit for no other reason than "muh hard game must be harrrd"
>>323340763
>hitboxes are engine related
>implying Bloodborne didn't had weird hitboxes at times
DS2 had a lot of shit hitboxes, but there were many times they were on point. Considering you can dodge shit with Prostration emote, I've had enemies whiff attack simply because my character was on "prone" position.
>>323360265
Because I was going to kill Nito before fucking Capra demon
>>323360101
It's the team from Human Revolution actually getting the budget and time they asked for in order to create a game that fits their vision of what a Deus Ex game should be.
If you liked HR, MD is that on steroids times 10.
>>323360536
so what?
I can't wait for more generic humanoid knight bosses and bosses with adds!
It's going to be so fun!!
>>323335939
>Giving a shit about network test classes.
>>323360641

Did you look at anything before posting?
>>323337974
Why would it be locked to 30FPS when DaS2 ran at 60 on PC (albeit with a few issues).
>>323360573
So you don't skip elemental shit and avoid huge power gaps
I just can't bring myself to be hype for this.
2 was so shit, and BB was so meh.
I think I'm done with this shit.
>>323360836
what?
>>323360641
I fucking love giant knight motherfucker bosses. Even ignoring "m-muh DaS2 is bad" meme, best bosses in 1 are Artorias and Biggie Smalls

>It's the team from Human Revolution actually getting the budget and time they asked for in order to create a game that fits their vision
have they said this?
The thing that bothered me about the trailers and demo is that the villain just looks bland and it's the same look and main character of HR. The story also seems blunt as fuck with the "subhumans" getting divided and eventually starting a communist like revolution, just like we've seen time and time again in other games, hell, even the villain is russian.
I hope I'm wrong and the game turns out well, the fact that illuminati seems to have a more central role judging from the trailer has peaked my curiosity, but from what I've seen so far it really feels just like a straight sequel, a Human Revolution 1.5 instead of a true Deus Ex sequel.
>>323343259
Mah negro.
I decided to reinstall DS1 and build my classic lvl 1 dickwraith for ganking new players in the Burg. Then I found out online is dead and I couldn't find someone to invade no matter where I tried it.
All of those hours put to waste. Shit was hard, man.
>>323361301
Outside of atmosphere it was nothing special.
>>323360445
DaS 1 could have been a tad more clear on direction, but at the same time I feel like it was pretty fair. For example, people always complain about the Catacombs but if you talk to the guy who you're plopped right in front of, he's like "go up those stairs over there." The thing is, there isn't a specific order you're supposed to do things. If you get through it and can't progress further (Catacombs, Door to Sen's Fortress, Sealed Door in [The Forest], etc..) it's usually accompanied by information hinting why that is and you're able to realize "oh, I should do something else and come back later."
So again, it could be a tad better but I still enjoyed not being babbied like a lot of games.
>>323361401
This.
I'd also add that the expanded move lists for weapons were nice.
>>323361001
>le e celebs meme

>>323361401
>nothing special
I have to wonder how strong of vidya you people have to take a hit from to get a high anymore.
>>323361183
Which speaks for how low quality the bosses in this franchise are in general.
>>323360641
>>323361124
>Game with medieval setting has knight bosses
Wow
WOW
>>323361942
Ok, why wouldn't the best bosses in the series be humanoid knights then? Big monster/animal enemies will invariably be less mobile or able to go toe to toe with you.
>DS2 movement felt slow and stiff as fuck ruining the game for me
>DS3 looks like its movement is going to be a combination of bloodborne and demons
That's all I could have asked for so I'm already sold.
>>323361305
the bosses in DaS1 were also quite large desu.
>Asylum Demon/Demon Firesage
>Gaping Dragon
>huge obese guy, and oversized lancer guy
>a motherfucking Hydra
>Gavelord Nito
>Iron Golem
>bed of chaos...some weird giant tree. (also bullshit and poor design)

>A couple of full sized dragons, Seath in particular being huge
>ceaseless discharge
>Sif (colossal wolf)
>Giant centipede + lava

This franchise always features huge bosses. Even the "humanoids" are oversized as bosses.

The only fanboy is you. The one who can't view his favorite objectively.
>>323337675
Eh, I'm cautiously optimistic. I'm not hyped for it because I'm not making the same mistake I did going into DaS2. Yeah, it *looks* like they're fixing the mistakes of DaS2, but who knows what they might fuck up on this time that we're not even aware they could fuck up. Only time will tell how good this one is
>>323361864
Only game that does it for me anymore is Monster Hunter.
It's like crack to me.
>>323361864
Outside of atmosphere and transforming weapons it was just a Souls re-skin at it's core.
I think most people convince themselves it's more than it is because they bought PS4s for it. I bought a PS4 for other games so I wasn't overhyping BB.
>>323340110
i never look up shit my first playthrough, i even stop watching these vids sometimes if i feel it reveals too much.
