Is Dark Souls 3 going to be the same as Dark Souls 1 2 and 3 where you can't even reasonably use a sword and board because the damage output greatly favors great weapons?

It's fun to use a Zweihander or whatever, but I really like to use sword+shield. After 3 games though and multiple playthroughs it just seems fucking worthless to even try since 2handers always deal so much more damage.

It doesn't ignore soul level, it lets you invade upwards infinitely just like the red eye orb. The only way to invade much much lower than your level in das1 is with Darkmoon Orb. Wikidot has the correct values.
>>
>>333387692
It's really easy to dodge. The hyperarmor only activates after using the weapon arts shit, which is insanely obvious. I haven't died to any greatswords user in the past few days of invading. Parrying them when they do a basic swing is even easier. The only thing that I can say is close to remotely good is the roll attack. But most of the time it misses, which could be due to Japanese lag. Dual katanas are fucking bullshit though.

>>
>>333387660
Dual wielding in DaS1 does not really work except for maybe some very specific combinations, and even then it's usually easier to juste switch to another weapon. I doubt there's any point to a dual greatsword build.

DaS2 has power stancing, but you'd need a shitload of strength / dex to dual wield greatswords, on top of the END to avoid fat rolling like a retard because your weapons are so fucking heavy

you get the drakesword from chopping off the red dragon's tail (or snipe it off with a bow)

>>333387820

No, the Drakesword was a newb trap. It has like 200 AR but no scaling, you get it from cutting the tail off the Hellkite Drake just after Taurus Demon.

Basically videos came out pre-launch with guides for the early game on how to get through the game (ie: a crutch for useless people) and every single one of them included how to get the Drakesword.

Basically it was the mark of the Casual, and the shitter. Elite Knight + Drakesword in Sens or later was the true mark of a shitter.

If you're just doing it for fun, then go for it. Don't bother trying to fight players with that sort of build though, only DeS and DaS2 have viable options for offhand characters in both PvE and PvP. Offhand weapons use more stamina as well.

Not really. All it's attacks have hyperarmor.

>>333385019
Axes in general in Dark Souls games. I don't see any significant advantages to using these over UGS or other SS other than aesthetics or switching to the DGA for maximum riposte damage. I suppose BKGA was decent because it was fairly quick for how much damage it dealt.

>>333385709
I really like the fact that a lot of the realistic weapons in Dark Souls tend to be the best. Claymore used to be my favorite now I just use the longsword for everything.

Nah, the Dragonslayer spear is just not good. The R2 lightning bolt is weak, and the rest of the moveset is exactly the same as other spears except the Dragnslayer spear has really long reach.

It's outclassed by pretty much any other spear on any other upgrade path.

There's a golden ring you get from killing a gold dude and a fatty ring you get from killing an enemy in the undead burg/ the forest, those both help with equip weight

However much Endurance you need, but no more than 40, after that the returns diminish

Most players don't. If someone's doing their first playthrough and they have the Drake Sword, then either they're using a guide or some asshole spoiled it for them (probably someone else on their first playthrough who looked up guides and thought they were the shit for having an "overpowered" weapon)

They only have hyperarmor after its animation has gone through a certain point. I used to play with fugs, as for parrying, most of the time you either get a faggot onehanding with it and a shield or a naked guy 2 handing it. The naked guy is easily brought down with the dark shortswords since he'll rely on the roll attack or the sweep which both are easily dodged. The person that's one handing it proves to be be bigger challenge since he'll turtle up and fuck you up if you fail the kick.

>>333388121
No powerstance, it's a dual weapon, sow if you'd press triangle or y, it would equip the 2 weapons. The jump critical art is goat though
>>
>>333388582
Bloodborne wrapping glowing cosmos around a dull great sword was a fairly unique look.

I wish they had taken that glow and applied it to the Demons Souls looking version and brought that into Dark Souls instead of keeping the shitty DaS1 version. Thank god they didn't go with the DaS2 version.

At least they kept the cool particle effects from the Bloodborne attacks?

Is that really the logic you're going to use here? If it's not as good as everything else you can use, it's bad.
You liking it doesn't change that. You could like playing tennis by replacing your racket with a child's shoe, but that doesn't make the shoe a good racket.

Also, the thread is about things looking good but having more stats, which you tried to argue wasn't true. It is, and now you're saying this shit.

It doesn't have to be competitive to have a place in the game. I don't much miss it, but having the option there would have been nice. Dark Souls's one of the strongest sides has been the customization.

It scales with INT and FAI. So DS2 tier

I'm excited for Dark Souls 3, but I have no idea what copy to get. I have a computer that meets the minimum requirements with a little leeway, and a PS4. The problem is that with the other Dark Souls, they would run okay even on an iMac from 2008, but they had trouble getting multiplayer connections. My internet here is pretty bad, but it worked okay when I was playing Bloodborne. Co-op was pretty great, and invasions lagged only slightly.

Which should I get? I'm especially concerned since I heard Dark Souls 3 has framerate issues.

The GS was cool because you got to feel like you had the actual weapon the black knights were using, in that you could homerun anything that wasn't fuckhuge.

I still love the burger king great axe the most though, due to how amazingly well it handled.

It has problems with single core performance so unless your CPU is something like Core 2 Duo it probably won't limit you too much.
Dark Souls 1 just had problems forming connections period, but they use matchmaking servers again ever since Dark Souls 2, also with Bloodborne, making network game in both very easy. The case will be the same for DaS3.

I'd just get the PC version. You could cap it at 30FPS and have it be exactly like the console version if you can't get a steady 60
>>333389728
>never had any drops in Dark Souls 1 or 2 on my shitty old PC, even in Blighttown.

Bro don't be fooled by DaS2 telling you that Pyro receives a buff from both Faith and Int. True, it's there, but it's fucking tiny. Like 20 extra damage. Pyro still worked perfectly for melee classes, you just grabbed a few attunement slots in 2 and slapped in some Great Fireball or GC.

What are we all talking about if not the stats of good looking weapons being poor?
The movesets? It still isn't better than what we could consider weapons it is competing with.

You think that's lazy? They use an entire area from a previous game. It's not weird for sequels to re-use things from earlier games, but Dark Souls 3 feels very much like it's just something they've put together with things from other games, while they do more important things elsewhere. But I'm under the impression that's what people want from these games.

I have plenty of experience with PvP across all of the SOuls games but I was speaking purely about the fun of powerstances. Most of them sucked, halberd, scythes, most straight swords, most greatswords, and especially twinblades. They use3d mosre stamina and did less damage despite attacking with both swords. You were better off just not powerstancing and using the full moveset in each hand, which WAS fun. Aside from a few of the unique ones like the Arty GS and the warped sword powerstances, they sucked.
