framerate
The big greatsword is still in DaS3.
>>332478043
....and we are done.
>>332478043
I don't really feel like it's that much better. It's bigger but that just makes it look silly. Moveset was nice though.
The bigger one is still in DS3 you fucknugget.
>>332479826
yeah OK.

>>332478043
Does Dark Souls 2 have a single area worse than blighttown?
>>332478043
For me great sword ratings are
DaS1>DeS>DaS3>DaS2
I really dislike the design of the DaS2 one, it's just ugly
>>332480102
official artificial difficulty areas:
shrine of amana
iron keep
at least in blight town you can just skip down the map and finish it in under a minute.
>>332480102
Blighttown is only bad because of the framerate. Once you get it on PC and it runs fine it isn't that bad.
>>332480102
But Blighttown is good. I still think it's the weakest out of the VoD clones but these areas have always been high points.
>>332478043
That isn't DS3's Greatsword. Its the Astora Greatsword.
Is ds2 hated? Only D's game ive played. I'm getting ds3, should I play the others?
>>332480837
Yes, play Dark Souls. The enemy variety is a bit better and bosses in general are a bit more memorable.
>>332480102
Yeah, all of them.
>>332479481
It fucking sucks though along with every other ultra greatsword
>>332480958
I may get it. I really liked the dragonslayer and smelter demon in ds2 tho, along with a lot of the others.
Is it considered bad because its the easiest or other reasons?
>>332480425
No, it's a bad zone even with solid 60 FPS.
>>332480352
Shrine of amana isn't bad, just just need to figure it out. Ironkeep is pretty gay but it's still better than blighttown
iron keep is a 1/10 level but blightown is 0/10
>>332480158
This guy knows whats up
>>332478043
Framerate.
Leveling up much faster made it easier to have a hybrid build. The only reason I ever go back to Dark Souls 2 from time to time is because I like being a STR/FTH hybrid to melee and throw in some Lightning Spears.
>>332481117
I think the two biggest issues with Dark Souls 2 were soul memory and the seemingly disconnected world layout. Other than that, I really enjoyed DaS2. It wasn't as hard as DaS, and Bloodborne is a cakewalk compared to DaS2.
You should definitely get DaS, it's like 9 dollars on G2A.
>>332481117
Going to the first one after playing the second is aids, it feels fucking awful but the first one is objectively better, if you haven't played the first one before playing DaS3 then you should kill yourself.
>>332478043
I'm playing it right now and I feel like that could be actually the only thing that DS2 did right.
This game kinda feels wrong. For many reasons.
>>332480352
I thought iron keep was pretty fun. When you're exposed over the bridge you have to either move quickly and parry the knights to avoid great arrows or find some way to deal with them at a distance. The first inside section with the moving grate floor is pretty neat. The second section fighting against the turtle knights in super close quarters is a really unique challenge compared to the rest of the game. Plus the boss is super easy even though you have to move more to avoid his attacks compared to the other lords.
Really it's such a super short area I never thought it was a problem, let alone an artificial difficulty area.
>>332481810
The one thing I really love about DS2 is how much variety you have. You get tons and tons of armor sets and most of them look really good to mix and match. Even though some of the weapons are kind of shitty they gave dual wielding its own advantages, gimmicks like fists and whips are suddenly really good, and you get a lot of spells/miracles that are really neat even if they're not super strong. DS1 has much better levels but there's hardly any variety in weapons you can use.
>>332482207
I agree with the first part of your post but I just never found combat to feel as fun in DS2 and despite the better graphics and greater variety I just didn't like the themes and artistic styles of the game.
Just got the crypt blacksword, I'm in love.
It's been a while since I played though and I've forgotten what to do. I beat lost sinner, the rotten and freya, where do I go now?
>>332482127
It's the combat isn't it?
They sharpened up the combat a bit and gave better incentives for NG+, Soul Orbs too were dope.
Shrine of amana pre patch was the most god awful experience I have ever had in the souls series.
I was a pure str build at that point and I had to completely wipe out the entire map permanently to get through.
Sl1 DS1 were less frustrating to me because at least it was based on skill.
Even sl1 bed of chaos, which insta killed me even with a full bar of stamina and 2handing my heaviest sheild, was no where near the level of artificial difficulty.
>>332482887
>sharpened it
You wot?
>>332482887
What's different this time around in NG+?
>>332481638
Wait bloodborne is easier than ds2?
>>332483041
I'd say so. My gauge for difficulty is the amount of times I died, and my deathcount in BB was microscopic in comparison to DaS and DaS2. BB's combat is very forgiving, in that healing is quick, you can regain life lost if you attack quickly after being damaged, and the sidestepping or whatever you call it made most fights a joke.
>>332483041
Bloodborne's rally system really softens the blow from getting hit. With some weapons enemies can't actually deal more than a sliver of health.
And the bosses, while super cool, are all really similar to each other. Most beast fights are the same outside of one or two moves and all the humanoid bosses are incredibly weak to being parried. Since the vast majority of bosses are humans or beasts you get a lot of practice fighting two types of enemy.
>>332483037
There we some new enemies added that arnt in the first run and red phantoms added to places that dropped armor sets and weapons
Plus the basement get spookier every new game+ you play
>>332483001
Im not gonna praise it highly mate but it did clean around the edges that DaS left behind
I feel like it did the plot details and ending very well. That or I just enjoyed the hell of it, really got the sense both endings meant little and werent much different even when I first played it. Also the atmosphere and rising action from drangleic castle onwards is just great. Minus the piece of shit that was shrine of amana that is.
>>332480102
Whats so bad about Blighttown other than the FPS drops? I never understood this
>>332484261
Babies get poisoned/toxic and can't deal with the mosquitoes.

>>332484094
In what ways?
>>332483942
>basement get spookier
Explain
>>332483001
ds2s combat and gameplay in general just felt a bit tighter, it felt wrong at first playthrough, but going back to ds1 afterwards feels a bit clunky.
I loved the adaptability thing, aside from that, sometimes the AI was impressive.
>Royal Guards climbing ladders to get you
>Bot invaders rolling as fast as they get up
>Fucking Blue Smelter Demon
Gotta say though, i felt the three dlcs completely over powered, everyone fucking destroy you in those three -awesome- places.

Please tell me you're joking, no one can be this

No i'm not lol I loved adaptability.
Maybe is because of me caring about useless shit, which is for me normal basis.

>>332480837
yes, you should definitely play the first one, since 2 makes direct references to the first one
just do it
>>332481096
Exile greatsword is great, used it to beat the game after I infused it with a sharp gem.
>>332484261
fps, toxic, mosquito hitboxes, its literally VoD cranked up to 11
>>332480102
fucking that abyss area that you get into postgame with the old guy in the wheelchair. And you get attacked by 3 havels wearing niggers
>>332484785
Not him but making dual wielding more viable is one thing, plus the guard break for turtles
>>332480837

Dude I'm pretty sure Shrine of Amana gave me higher blood pressure because holy fucking shit. I've never finished an area in a video game and felt exhausted like that before.
>>332487896
cool, love me some lightning spears
>>332488057
>guaranteed replies
>>332487591
I get the FPS drops, but is the toxic really that bad to deal with? The snipers are super easy to kill, don't respawn, drop purple moss clumps pretty often (in case you didn't buy a few before coming), they can't poison you if you have your shield up and it's pretty easy to figure out where they are by following their shots. I never had trouble hitting the mosquitos.
Also, on the other hand, Blighttown has a cool atmosphere, awesome loot (fucking Iaido, man), and one of the coolest bosses in the game (Quelaag). It's not my favorite area, but I still don't get what is so bad about it.
>>332488105
there are like 18 gems that all have different combinations of scalings. That you can change weapons to that arent special.
Iron Passage is 1000x more bullshit than the Iron Keep or Shrine of Amana. Most bullshit boss in the game trapped behind several areas if gank squads with ranged attackers above. I was unbelievably pissed off when I beat it and it literally did nothing. Like you think it would lead to a new area, or some treasure, or fucking something. Nope. Fuck B team
>>332480102
Every single level
>>332488085
you need to get better eyes
My absolute biggest complaint about dark souls 3, is how god damn pathetic the poison and toxic is. Poision is absolutely negligible. You can completely ignore it and you will be more than fine. Toxic is like ds2 poison and sucks after awhile but still manageable.
I enjoyed Majula more than the Firelink Shrine
>>332480102
Bright Stone Cove is the worst video game level I've played
What the fuck is wrong with Heide in SotFS?
>a shit ton of heide "miniboss" knights who become hostile after killing the Dragonrider
>a shit ton of giant knights
>a late game miniboss wyvern in front of Dragonslayer's chamber
>>332488401
>Try helping people with this.
>They always take the long route
>>332484535
Heide's tower is one of the best levels in the game, the fuck you talking bout.
>>332488085
>prepatch sinner ng+
how did playtesters even beat that
>>332488267
the dart blowers respawn tho, and going in you dont have any blooming moss, which you need for toxic, normal purple works only with poison if i'm not mistaken
and most people went in through depths, which is the worst way for a first timer
>>332488531
Sunsets are pretty nice, I just wish the npcs were on the level of DaS
I haven't played 3 yet but 2 had better fashion.
>>332483041
Anecdotal, but I've never managed to finish a Souls game before. I got the platinum trophy for Bloodborne last night. My first platinum, too. Felt pretty good.
>>332488531
this, part of the charm was the village look of it, not big enough for a proper settlement, but enough to work
>>332488563
amana was worse, the spiders may be spooky first time through, but after that its a cake walk
>>332488583
Cause it only takes less than two minutes to get to each boss
I'm fighting Manus right now.
This boss is, to me, the hardest in the game. He hits like a truck and combos the fuck out of you.
>>332488023
Are you literally retarded?
>>332488583
It is, but I used pre SotFS to farm Heide's really easy, then fucking SoFS puts fucking Heide Knights everywhere AND A FUCKING DRAGON
>>332488831
No, but maybe you are
Mat I remind this thread that Lost Bastille has SIX BONFIRES
Dark Souls 2 did everything right except for the entire bloody map.
>>332478043
Dark Souls 3 has like more than a dozen different UGSs for all sorts of tastes, including the DS2 one and the FUGS.
The best one is the Flamberge, though.
>>332488860
at least hes not as tough as endgame wyverns
>>332488868
so?
>>332488867
So you're saying that giant spiders and giant rats are bad?
>>332482127
It's /v/'s bullshit seeping into you subconscious.
>>332488584
no they dont the toxic dart blowers do not respawn until new game plus
>>332488023
Just because there are big spiders and rats doesn't mean physics change and your character becomes a hulk.
>>332488868
The Bastille was pretty big.It's actually seven if you count belfry luna.
>>332488990
>so?
Death has practically zero impact when you can often reach your bloodstain in 15 seconds or less
>>332488994
No, just that complaining about huge swords in a fantasy game like dark souls is stupid
>>332488990
Yup, I saw that fucker and I thought It was as powerful as the ones in the fucking Dragon Shrine, such thing was an accurate asumption I think, knowing how fucking those chinks at Bandai work.
>>332489148
So because the game is set in a fantasy setting, everything is acceptable?
>>332488983
>flamberge
There are a shit ton of cool boss ones and you choose the flamberge?
>>332488983
You know if the Flamberge still having the same scaling? Cause that S scaling is orgasmic
>>332488990
>Dragon right outside Old Dragonslayer's room
>Dragon sleeps outside of a Dragonslayer's residence
Not a very good Dragonslayer. Also Heide's is shit. It's crumbly white stone paths with no divergence other than two paths that both lead to bosses that take a minute of walking to get to.
>>332488568
Heide Tower and Ironkeep were completely fucked over in SoTFS, I don't understand what were they thinking. Iron Keep was fine besides two archers that would always get you, now they all rush to you from the other end of the level.
>>332489105
Yeah, but it doesn't feel appropriate to slay the biggest of beasts without such an equally gargantuan blade.
>>332489148
he didn't even say the sword wasn't realistic or something, he said it was worse than the other two

>>332489389
*best area
>>332489328
But then how would you wield that? Being undead just gives you infinite respawns, and swords are practical weapons, I'm sure they can handle that shit.
>>332489293
It's there for a reason, DS2 Ornstein is not DS1 Ornstein, I mean it uses dark instead of lighting now.
I think they wanted to give us somekind of "deep" thought about it, the dragonslayer getting hollow or some shit.
SoftS Co-op/invasion NPC.
Not even Bloodborne did NPC right.
>>332489416
I guess, I finished the game wearing wolf armor (artorias) and the exile greatsword.
>>332489105
Sure they do, you're pumping yourself full of soul power and increasing your strength to the point where you can destroy actual Gods. Being able to one hand a giant sword makes as much sense as being able to throw lightning bolts.
>>332481118
Figures DaS2 apologists wouldn't appreciate level design.
>>332489420
He doesnt, a couple of the early game ones are kind of tough, but the late game ones when you have shit are pushovers.

>things dark souls 2 did right
it killed my love for the series and made me realize that the series was gonna become the COD/Asscreed of the east.and i was right
it's nice knowing i've saved money by not supporting this shit series anymore.
>>332489649
>shows up again in the 3rd game
>>332478043Slightly better endgame than DaS IMO. DLC was on par with Artorias content.The Alonne fight was way more fun for me.
>tfw just played DaS for the first time recently and didn't get all the fuss about Blighttown
it's pretty easy if you just take your time to avoid getting poisoned
>>332489524
He uses dark lightning and his weapon uses normal lightning.
I think that it changes depending on the wielder. He's corrupted by the abyss/dark so his lightning powah is dark.
>>332489717
Rather his armor does
>>332489685
3rd is good though.
Lots of new shit that isn't copy and pasted like ds 2
>>332489540
This guy was such a faggot. Thank god I cleared the area before he invaded.
>>332489389
I liked the idea of having to get some summons to slowly progress by following landmarks barely visible through the blizzard while avoiding giant electrified ice reindeer and armored hollows, trying to conserve enough Estus for the boss and managing your summon's health, but if you summoned NPCs they would stay back and fight the reindeer and then the two bosses would more often than not end up killing your summons.
>>332489776
>armor possessed by butterflies that hunted with him
his new weapon was rad as fuck too.
>>332489753
>it's pretty easy if you just take your time
That's the whole game right there. The hardcore meme speaks volumes about the audience of these games.
>>332489753
did you play on pc? because on console it was absolute dogshit, shit went down to the 10s in fps
>>332489578
magic as in casting is different to physical power, correlation does not equal causation. But your point on soul power and shit probably stands, but that would still make the big swords unpractical because of their center of balance and wind resistance.
That's probably why the bearer of the curse is such a shitty swordsman.
>>332489874
Just think of it as injecting magic steroids directly into your muscles, making for impossible feats of strength. It's magic physical power.
>>332489420
>>332489540
Aw snap. Best taste right here.
>>332489874
The Greatsword's description does say that the weapon's size makes it impractical because most people are too weak to wield it
>>332489389I-I liked it...
>>332489685
>COD/Asscreed of the east
Okay, wait. So that means that Japan's Dark Souls fandom is filled with COD/Asscreed players, too? Or does that just mean we are? Also, chin up. Dark Souls 3 looks pretty hype.
>>332489816
they'll keep following you if you ignore the rapedeer and beeline for the boss
they'll only survive long enough to kill one of the cats though
>>332489872
I find it easier to just run through levels, ass-naked, spamming dodge. Shit's seriously op.
Vanquisher's Seal, so damn fun, hopefully Dark Souls 3 has a similar ring
>>332481638
>>soul memory
That mechanic was a good thing though, made preying upon low-level characters with a twinked-out murder machine much more difficult, plus it killed that awful sl-120 meta that everyone in DaS1 followed.
>>332489872
True that, family. Don't get me wrong, DaS1 and 2 are easily some of my favorite games, but the exaggeration of the difficulty of the two are sad. Sure, it's challenging, and some bosses take a few shots to get down (Gandalf and Smaug, Artorias,Ancient Dragon), but this HARDEST GAME EVER meme is retarded.
>>332490026
Really, that's all you need them for. One kitty ain't shit.

That took like an hour to get through. I was mad as hell, but looking back it was kindafun.
>>332490157His armor is possessed by the old chaos, his soul possibly trapped inside. He's been fucked by the flame, then the abyss, and now the chaos. Ornstein had a hard life.
>>332489810
I refused to, and only wanted to beat him under his ridiculously unfair conditions.
I chased the fucker down, dropping on him by jumping to those middle cogs and sprinting at him, and landed the final blow at the base of the tower.
Miraculously, I managed to survive the huge wave of enemies that I had brought down with me, even the ones on the floor that I didn't know about beforehand.
Fume Knight and Alonne were great fights, too, though they had less impact than DS1 bosses did.
>>332490097
I can see possible plusses, but each loss of souls became much more penalizing, and if you wanted to remain in a populated bracket for co op and PVP, you needed to keep your deaths in check.
Not that that's a bad thing in and of itself, but it creates more divides in the online playerbase.
>>332480102
Gutter
>>332489685
So, basically, you're just mad at the fanbase.
>>332489685
A lot of good franchises have been milked harder than CoD, and they are still classic to this day. Hell, not even Dark Souls is the most egregious case within the company.
>>332490157
He does and hes still big but he has a halberd and shield and a new moveset.
>>332490104
rage mode cat takes some getting used to so it still took me a few tries
more tries than just about any other area in the game, except for maybe pre-patch amana
>>332490157
DaS3 is looking like the sequel DaS2 should have been. It has the good kind of fanservice where it actually follows up on loose ends, like this friendly motherfucker. Can you guess who this is?
>>332490254
gutter wasn't even bad
>>332489631
What do you mean. I can't understand what you're saying. Does that means he didn't appear in 3?
>>332490251
>>I can see possible plusses, but each loss of souls became much more penalizing
That's what life rings are for though?
>>Not that that's a bad thing in and of itself, but it creates more divides in the online playerbase.
But DaS1 had a divide too, between those who clung to an obnoxious metagame that pretty much told you to stop leveling your character in an RPG if you didn't want to be cut out of PVP content and those who didn't care.
>>332490345
I was on NG+8 or so when Ivory dlc came out, and I wanted to beat them regardless, took me about 8 hours to do so. Over half of it was running all the way back, it takes like 3 minutes of running in a straight line if I remember correctly.
>>332478043
Y'know, it's funny. Despite how disappointing Dark Souls 2 was to people, it still manages to have enough good to edge out the bad, making it not awful. It's a pretty alright game. With problems, yeah, but it's not the worst thing ever.
>>332490254
I loved the gutter. It's one of the few areas that the torch comes in handy.
>>332490254Gutter was one of my favorite areas in DaS2
>>332490410
>weapon doesn't look like the one on the broken sunlight altar
>>332480102
Shrine of Amana, but that's pretty much it. DaS also has the Depths, Lost Izalith The Catacombs and the Tomb of the Giants which outweighs it by a large margin.
>>332490604
He got a better one
>>332490254
Fuck you, gutter was cool.
>>332490410
I beat the game 2 hours ago and I do not remember this.

>>332480102
I thought Iron Keep was fine, I just played it a bit more safe. Now if we're talking about NG+, then we have something.

>>332490828
Nah, it was alright. Just not as good as the first one.
>>332480102
>Does Dark Souls 2 have a single area worse than blighttown?
It has multiple areas worse than Blighttown.
>>332490324
>halberd and shield
I almost came anon, and then you had to go along and say this.
DS1 DS spear was fucking godly, then DS2 fucked up the moveset and with what I can gather from DS3 (I have paid almost no attention to hype because spoilers) the would've been the perfect opportunity to make is 11/10.
>>332490816
The only game with a shit model is DaS1. Everything else closely resembles the real thing.
>>332480102
Shrine of Amana.
Done.
How about them new weapons?
>>332490851
No no, it's the real one. Solaire has nothing to do with Gwyn actually.
>>332490920
Well you get his new halberd and you also can get his old spear for yourself. The new fight is really cool though.
>>332490920
His spear still is in,he means the boss fight
>shitter is wearing grass shield
>>332490979
DeS and DaS 2 has a hilt that's too big
>>332490986
Farron greatsword is cool, dual dancing scimitars are cool, the fire greatsword is cool.
>>332490410
This guy makes me question why Andre is even in the game, what a fuck up that is now.
>>332490986
Is Gwyn's armor set in the game?
>>332490870
The Nameless King.
Honestly One of the best fights in the series.
>>332491119
nigga can't die, also you get a coal from the giant blacksmith and andre is "like oh shit, I miss the big fella."
>>332491119
It's apparently a family business and they name their kids Andre for brand recognition. You know if you're dealing with an Andre he's got the good shit.
>>332491119He's not
>>332491192
see
>>332491185
>>332491172
WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS?
>>332491192
>>332491207
That's insanely dumb.
>>332491001
>>332491045
I came.
>>332491172
OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M GOING TO DIE
>Titanite
>PVP
>COOP
>Framerate
>Estus

>>332491260
Well I didn't know about the coal stuff with the Anor Londo blacksmith, so I don't fucking know.
>>332491260
>Not trusting the brand name
It's like you ENJOY shit weapons.
>>332491207
>>332491192
except he is faggots
>we will never get a Souls-like game with fully fleshed out covenants
>>332491407
Complicated covenants never work, so they went the simple route. Now all of them work, even blue sentinels.

>>332488531
I feel like it would've been much better if they had day/night cycles for it.
>>332491260
Major spoilers.The firelink isn't real. You come across the real one later, without a single soul on it but the old hag on the chair.
>>332481096
Shut your mouth. You haven't even used it or FUGS, the best weapon in the game
>no Balder Side Sword in DaS2
>no Balder Side Sword in DaS3
>>332491348
That nigga doesn't even sell weapons.
>>332491512
How the fuck does that even make sense, I bought shit and upgraded gear there.
Whats the Hub is DAS III?
>>332491527
>Purple Phantom
?????????????????
>>332491492
A great way to end it I think. It all ends where it all began.
>>332491568
firelink shrine. kind of a like des tower.
>>332491492
>two bell rings
>>332491557
I don't know, I don't have the fucking game yet.
>>332491512
It's real actually.
The nexus one just takes place in the future. This is explained by gundyr's armor.
>>332491254
>>332491327
>webm of cool boss getting cheesed in 3,2,1...
>>332491615
And this time his moveset is way crazier toshow you you're not just fighting the Chosen Undead or Gwyns soul, but every single soul that kindled the flame including Gwyn
>>332481096
>>332491527
UGS are the ultimate noob stompers so far. Hyper-armor and the damage are crazy high so any hit can take out 500 plus off of someone with ballpark 900.
Farron GS is going to wreck so many people its going to be unreal, the hitboxes on that things tokyo drift are fucking dumb.
>>332491492
>We're finally getting a souls game with a non-shitty final boss
Awwww yis
>>332491580
>Mound Makers
>How you enter a host's world dictates how you can interact with the world. You can either be summoned via a White Sign Soapstone or invade using a Red Eye Orb.
>When using the summon sign you are placed in the friendly phantom slots for the host. You can kill any phantom and the host. You also can attack and kill the enemies in the hosts world. However you cannot enter a boss fog with the host. You will be sent away when the host enters the fog.
>If you invade as a mad phantom you can only hurt other phantoms and the host. Killing any phantom or the host will send you home with your reward. Regardless of how you enter the hosts world other mad phantoms can attack and hurt you as well as any phantom or host. The only thing that changes hostility based on how you enter is the pve enemies which are no longer hostile to you when you invade.
>The white phantom ring does not change your summon sign from purple to white.
>>332491646
>two bell rings
Holy shit I didn't notice that, when does it happen?
>>332491580
Mound-makers.
Mad Spirits.
Can use red eye orb or lay a summon sign, which appears purple.
Hostile to absolutely everything, enemies, hosts, every kind of phantom except other purples.
You win by either killing any phantom (40% of the time) or the host (100% of the time)
>>332491707
Farron GS doesn't come close to the damage of FUGS, Yhorm's Great Machete, etc which can all super armor through the spins.
>>332491782
Each loop of Gwyn's melody starting on 3:10.
Gavlan Wheel?
>>332491707
>My face when I run around spear poking hit and run technique with dragonslayer spearblade against FUGS shitters, and they can't ever hit me because I never trade with them, only punish or initiate
Then when they run away to heal I use the L2 to either finish them off or force a second heal. It's the perfect weapon for punishing.
>>332491863
What a way to end a fucking trilogy.
>>332491823
>Thick ultra greatsword from DS2 is in
Nice.
>>332491710
It's honestly the only good final boss.
Allant was Allant
Gwyn could be parried.
Nashandra is shit and Aldia is meh.
Moon Presence is a fucking victory lap.
Unless you count Gherman or DLC final bosses this might be the first good final boss.
You ARE going to wear it on your male character, right /v/?
One of my favorite parts aboutThe mage portion of the final boss
60 fps
>>332491981
Depends how good the character creator is, if I can make a trap looking character.
>>332491670Why are we going back in time anyway? Is Firelink the only place in the future?
>>332491981
wew lad
>>332491995>wears armor on the cover of the game like all other MCs in the series
>bonfire sword
>every fucking moveset you ever had available
>NINJA FUCKING FLIPS
>turns into turbo Gwyn in the second phase
I can't stop cumming help
>>332491981
>female actions
such as what exactly?
Does anyone know what catalyst the ice magic uses?
>>332491981
This is the gayest shit I've ever read
>>332492172
>They have to follow up on this with the DLC
That shit better be god tier.
>>332491951I thought Aldia was the best final boss out of the souls games, by a hair.Bloodborne notwithstanding, of course.
>>332492172
>last area in the first game is Kiln of the First Flame
>last area of the last game isKiln of the Final Flame, and is covered in countless ashes of the previous undead making it old and busted
Really driving homethat it's the end of the cycle
>Crestfallen Warrior this time has actual backstory
Neat
>>332492265
Well, if you didnt count BB and until before DaS3? You are probably right (though that is not saying its a good boss, only the best) since Gwyn can be parried, no parry Gwyn is better though, but that is a self imposed limit.
>>332492285
>Endings are the same as the other games
Sure is. I know i'm being somewhat of a smartass here but there is very little concrete closure here.Link, bully firekeeper to steal flame,, dark lord 2.0 waifu edition.
>>332492125
It's a mystery.
