The ad campaign for Das3 is retarded. I am just as excited for the game as anyone, but we have this stupid fucking mobile game, an animated short film, now this, probably lots I'm missing.

the moonlight greatsword is never really translucent or glass-like, you just need to temper the metal so it has that signature cyan color, like heat treating maybe? depends which version, some are more dull and some are just straight like a cloudy glass.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do guys. Either I have to start the game at midnight on the 12th and fucking marathon that shit, or experience the game for the first time through watching someone else play it on youtube.

I'm going to have to marathon it pretty much but if literally anything comes up in that period of a few days then I'm fucked, and paying full price for a game to immediately leave it behind is also garbage.
>>
>>333190817
>leaving my PC and ps4 behind
why? that's so stupid, are you going to college and thinking that now you are an "adult" you can't enjoy video games anymore?
>>
>>333190758
That entirely depends on which version you go with.

Kings Field? Translucent.
Demons Souls? Translucent.
Armored Core? Fucking lasers shaped like the moon.
Dark Souls? Cloudy.
Dark Souls 2? Fischer Price plastic.
Bloodborne? A greatsword version of a lightsaber.
>>
>>333190982

No, but my mom won't allow me to take my gaming PC which is reasonable because she paid for it and its a little over a thousand dollars. And the PS4 she also paid for, and my older autistic brother uses it and has shit on it so I can't take either.

I bought a second Wii U so I could take that with me, since I paid for most of the Wii U games I care about, I bought my 3DS, and I bought this shitty 200 dollar laptop. None of which I can play Dark Souls 3 on.
>>
>>333187408
Sadly Miyazaki has been pushing Artorias sword as the Dark Souls sword.

Moonlight is more just a FROM thing. Bloodborne's DLC is the first time since Kings Field that it actually got front and center presentation. Now, granted, that makes sense since everything bloodborne is about the moon.

>>
>>333207050

DeS- I agree

DaS- Zwei, by far, but that's mostly because of OnlyAfro memes so I'll say that the iconic weapon was none at all simply because it was the first time we were given a large arsenal of weapons. If I HAD to say one, it's the Claymore.

DaS2-FUGS, Longsword

BB- Agree, but add the Saw Cleaver

Pretty sure Greatswords aren't supposed to be quite that bouncy. Notice how they don't do anything other than safe vertical slashes. I seriously wonder how that sword could survive cutting through a dead pig, leather, wood and other shit used to test swords on. Heck, from what little we've seen of the welding work, the blade might even just break away from the hilt if you swung it around without hitting anything.
>>
>>333211075
Swords bend. It's how they avoid breaking.

Hence that katana vs bastard sword gif. Katanas don't bend.

Nah. It's about normal. Swords are pretty flexible. You want longer swords to bend like that, you don't want a rigid, thin blade slamming into surfaces.

They also probably only do vertical slashes because the thing is probably both heavier and more unbalanced than a sledgehammer.

I leveled str/dex int/faith up to 50. At 50 in those stats it has one of the best if not the best damage ratings in the game but it's split damage so it gets reduced by two enemy resistances

>Real swords wouldn't do that
Real swords do flex

Swords that aren't heat treated will bend, and stay bent, because they aren't spring tempered.

There are exceptions, differential hardened swords will take a set. Non-steel swords will set. But they are very easy to repair, and can often be bent back to true just with your knee (From my own experiences)

You're not going to get that until NG+*whatever, though.
You'll have a hard time get to the stat cap of 40 for 2 stats by the end of NG in DaS1 if you're not grinding, and you might not even get much farther in NG+, and I really don't care at that point, and I'd rather start a new character that doesn't take ~3 playthroughs to use a weapon effectively

Too bad it's so underwhelming in DaS3
much like the game itself

Yeah, you are right about that. I think I hit those stats at NG+ or NG+2 and it's very ineffective the more you progress in cycles.

I'm at NG+5 or something and it's not what it used to be. It sucks that you spend so much time to upgrade, scale level a weapon only to see it diminish in power.

They have more than a handful of episodes with 100% traditional techniques

Making swords as big as this one without modern tools, materials and techniques would take too much time (and thus money). They must also be always busy with 5 other simultaneous projects at all times and can't make the ideal sword of your dreams every single episode.

Sometimes I'm glad PCfags are so elitist to the point of spitting at everyone who buys a laptop, and due to peer pressure some people make a tower instead, when there are obvious advantages to a laptop in cases like this

Enjoy rushing through the game and not enjoying it to the fullest

Also I've never worked a part time job and could afford a PS4 on launch day while in Uni simply by being comfy at home and drawing a handful of commissions. I can't believe you didn't get any money with 8 jobs.

Pathetic
