Best. Game. Ever.
>>332293637
What the fuck are you talking about? Ash Lake?
>>332293785
>copy paste 50 dragon butts
New Izalith, you dummy
>>332293785
Ash lake, yes. Tons of wasted effort while other places in the game are rushed and lazy
>>332294014
99% of players won't find Lost Izalith on their own? It's literally mandatory unless you take the shortcut.
>>332294014
But OP said "99% of the players will never find on their own" and I'm pretty sure most people find that area
I finished playing after Ornstein and Smough, although i did go back and do the Artorias DLC
>>332293785
The bgm for Ash Lake makes me so fucking hard every time
>>332294438
>following guides
>having an opinion of the post lord vessel areas without going to them
Stop
>99 percent of players will never find
What the fuck are you talking about? You need to go to Lost Izalith to complete the game.
Also, if you couldn't tell from the lava on the ground and the gigantic dragon butts in hell, you're not supposed to fight them, you're supposed to run through and not get killed.
>>332293637
>only 1% of players will find ash lake
>only 1% of players will do literally any exploration at all
I really wish I could argue with this but has the average gamer actually become that boring of a person?
>>332293637
>use glitch to get infinite humanity
>give humanities to spider butt lady
>use secret passage to avoid dragon butt zone alltogether
and that's why dark souls is a shitty game
>find Ash Lake on first playthrough
>got cursed on way down
>light bonfire there
>didn't have the lord vessel yet
It was hell to get back up. Especially as I just wasn't good back then.
>>332295463
>Using guides
>Being a gigantic faggot
Well, that just invalidated everything
>>332295463
It's a primarily single-player adventure game. If you want to look up ways to skip the entire adventure then that's on you, it isn't up to the designers to entertain you if you have no interest in being entertained.
>>332295252
It's through a double illusory wall. I had no clue ash lake was a place until some anons posted about it.
>>332295503
I found ash lake by accident, when the false wall opened up and it was a way down, I thought it might be a shortcut to firelink or the demon ruins, I was fucking wrong.
>>332293785
>>332294014
>>332294187
>>332294298
>>332294402
Reading comprehension anyone? First sentence is about Ash lake. Second sentence is separate and is about Lost Izalith.
>>332299527
>332299527
Are you mentally challenged you fucking shitstain?
how about using fucking punctuation marks you absolute fucking intellectual pygmy. How the everlasting FUCK are we supposed to figure out what the FUCK happens in your FUCKING degenerate weaboo autistic shitskin brain?
>>332299815
Chill out, dipshit. I'm not even OP.
nigger
what's sad is that DaS with all it's unfinished content and backpeddaling is still better than the vast majority of modern games out there
>>332300309
>>332293637
You know you were supposed to enter Anor Londo through the gate after beating Iron Golem right?
They just cut that shit out too.
So much shit is cut out.
>>332300434
Hello orangutano
>>332300705
Didn't they change it because cutscene reveal of Anor Londo was much more powerful and memorable than just going up stairs? It's a different kind of cut content altogether.
>>332300434
that seems like a horrible way to die
>>332301839
Maybe.
But you can't help but wonder what would be behind the gate.
Painting guardians?
Sentinels?
>>332303250
Or maybe literary just a lot of stairs. It's not like cut out a whole location filled with important lore in this case.
What happens
>Haha I found shiny bug now I'm the Sun! Yee haaaw!
What lorefags think
>...what if the sun was in our hearts all along?
>>332300434
hello orungutano
>>332295503
Were you good by the time you got back up?
>>332295463
>uses glitch
found your problem
>>332300434
hello orangutano
>>332304341
There is so much stuff in Dark Souls that just feels like its missing.
Why isn't there an ending in which you save Solaire en kill Gwyn with him and then he links the flame, so he can finally become a sun?
>>332300434
Hello orangutano
>>332303992
It'd be more memorable having to climb these gigantic stairs and fighting on your way up to find out what the fuck actually was there.
>>332308287
You just fought a boss. You deserve a little brather. Having to fight more monsters on the way up would hurt the pacing.
>>332307102
Uh, there is.
>>332300434
hello orangutano
>>332308527
Make them shitty enemies then.
>>332293637
thats pretty much what bothered me about dark souls 1 and other things, I hope they didn't make the same mistakes in ds3
>>332308795
Why make enemies at all? If you really want stairs, just put stairs. Nobody forces you to put enemies.
>>332308590
No, there isn't. I got to that point and I just linked the flame myself, not Solaire?
Post Dragon butts please
>>332309225
yeah no shit, phantoms cant link the flame in your world
>>332309010
OKEY STAIRS THEN
>>332300434
hello orungutano
>>332299936
You must be the aspie whisperer then?In this case the samefaggotry is pretty easy to spot considering nobody could decipher your stupidity.
>>332300434
hello orungutano
>>332309010
this anon has it right
It's like you guys forget why DaS 2 is bad
all the enemies are shitty and there's too many of them placed without any proper thought.
>>332310370
>pretty easy to spot
Yet it seems that your samefag detector is broken. Unlike OP I actually liked the inclusion of two cool secret locations. See, I like to explore in games and I like being rewarded by finding cool shit. More games should include meaningful optional content IMO.
Dragon butts area was lame though. For more than 1 reason.
>>332301953
say hello then you cockle
>>332300434
Hello, Anthony Fantano here.
>>332300434
hello orungutano
>>332307102
cause he's not Gwyn's firstborn
>>332295252
Ash lake isn't supposed to be found easily - it takes the community to leave notes / tell stories about it.
>>332300434
hello orungutano

>Someone thought this comic was a good idea

Why is it only retards and kids can't beat Dark Souls
