This is a hard game...
>>334510327
The size of that axe is comical.
Damn...
Such hardcore... Much difficulty...
>>334510327
Those faggots are probably the hardest normal enemy in the game
>>334510327
Said nobody but trolls and casuals.
>>334510428
>cheese the enemies
>wow le game is so hard tee hee
try to pull that shit where you don't have unlimited time to plink away at enemies as long as you want, such as, say 90% of the game
>>334510327
There's hard...there's expert..there's NES hard...and then theres souls hard........
Not sure why, but I laughed (a lot) watching that.
>>334510593
Huh?
Maybe the ones with chain axe if you fight them from a distance.
Their attacks are easy as fuck to dodge if you stay close.
>>334510327
>Hey looks its my first souls game!
k
>>334510694
Souls babbies are the best.
>Told game is too hard: lel git gud scrub
>Told game is too easy: s-stop cheesing the game faggot! You're not supposed to play that way!
>>334510327
>>334510428
Fromdrones will defend this.
>AI gets stuck
>something that isn't common to happen
>lol guys look how easy this game is
>>334510694
Why is he standing there taking hits?
Why isn't he using his shield?
>>334510998
The AI has never been very good at countering cheese tactics.
>>334510327
If he's so easy then why did you die to him before?
>>334511384
OP BTFO.
>>334510428
>le doge XDd
i want normalfags to leave
>>334510854
how would you describe abusing the AI and staying out of harms way to get easy kills then? Skill? Tactics?
>>334510327
>a bug occurs
>heh. 2z.
>>334510327
That's funny because I can see your previous souls ready to be gathered right next to him which means you died to him before
Does anyone else hate souls games because of how awful the controls and movement feels? They play like fucking unity games. There's no refinement whatsoever.
>>334510327
>15 Estus at +10
>all that HP
>Heal Aid
>had still managed to die that enemy
Hilarious.
>>334510694
Reminder that if you don't slam your face onto the wall every time you save if you're a fucking casual that isn't playing the game with the correct handicaps.
>>334511543
Souls games are for normalfags now get used to it
>>334511183
This is their 5th Souls game and they are still using the Demon's Souls AI. There is no excuse?
>>334510694
why are you allowed to cheese the enemies in the first place? that's why it's not a difficult game- because in areas it is a poorly designed and laid out game.
>>334511384
>>334511504
I didn't die to him. I died to the pyromancy spamming faggots near him.
>>334511835
>There is no excuse
What need do they have for an excuse if people are still buying?
>>334510327
Isn't that Mergo wet nurse head?
>>334512107
Sure you did.
>able to turn off the ai in one enemy
>he died to it anyway
>>334511910
>in areas
Yeah, there's the winning number. Unless you can cheese a sizable portion of the game in the same way, this is a non-issue and OP and company are just being smartasses. Most games have exploitable bugs. This isn't groundbreaking.
>>334511578
Shitty game design is what you call it.
>>334512464
>I am literally a cocksucking faggot
>>334510694
Using arrows is cheesing now? End yourself, please.
>>334512779

Wait, you're limited to 99 arrows now? Lame.
>>334510327
>forgetting that the game's theme is despair
>not realizing this was deliberate
Can't wait for you to get BTFO when Vaati releases a video on this guy
Is this the webm thread?
>>334512804
using arrows where the enemy clearly has no way of reaching or damaging you is
Ellipses are the shitpostiest form of punctuation...
>>334510327
The bloodstain doesn't speak for you
>>334513174
That's shit design, not the player's fault.
>>334513235
Well... You're not wrong...
>>334510327
>hurr this enemy is so easy
>died to it
End yourself.
>>334513279
true, but cheesing is exploiting bugs or faults in game design, so he was cheesing
>>334513424
They give you a ranged weapon, using it is not cheesing, it's just not being retarded.
>plays a game that is retard easy when properly min-maxed without any exploits
>thinks it's astounding that he circumvented difficulty by exploiting a bug he didn't even mean to trigger
>>334511384

i'll be honest i cheesed the silver knights at the anor londo bonfire every time with a bow
>>334513235
What about the interrobang!?
If you activate the Curse-rotted Greathollow boss is it still possible to join the Mound-Maker's covenant? I keep trying to get close enough to that stupid cage monster but it always just turns around and attacks
>>334513174
but that's what archers did in real life
why would you want to be reachable by footsoldiers?
>that bloodstain
OP is a faggot.
>>334513960
Yes but you can't join Rosaria's Fingers until you finish Sirris' storyline.
>>334513174
>muh honorable way to fight against mindless monsters in a videogame!
Fucking kill yourself, for fucks sake.
>>334513960
>Curse-rotted Greathollow
I'm curious, where are you from? In the English version it's the Curse-rotted Greatwood, the versions must be different unless you're mistaken
>>334513960
No, it's not possible. You inadvertently kill the guy who lets join it if you kill the cursed tree.
>>334514085
Well I haven't killed the Greatwood yet I've just activated the fog door. Will I still be able to join the covenant the first way or will I have to do that shit with Sirris?
>>334514297
Whoops I meant Greatwood. I've spent like an hour trying to get into that stupid cage.
>>334514381
Probably, the covenant guy should be fine until you get to the second phase of the fight.
>>334513972
*teleports behind you*
This series gets more absurd every iteration.
>>334514494
You could do that in Bloodborne.
>>334514297
Really? In my version, it's called the Pox-Riddled Rumblegrumbler.
>>334514552
And DaS2
>>334511384
Good job, OP.
>>334514494
it's just a ring that makes you invisible when you roll
>>334513096
>tfw this game is bugged to no end
>parts you can see clearly, not having texture at all
>possible to fall through the ground
>there even is a place in the poisonous swamp where you can go through a wall even though it should be solid
was this game rushed or something? didnt felt like they did a pretty good job on this one
>>334514468
Well I've gotten to the second phase of the fight, so I fucked up, didn't I?
Can anyone tell me where the key to unlock Siegward's cell is located?
>>334514796
Same area where you can get to his cell door
>>334513972
That perfect dive tho
I want to do Ricard's Rapier+Parrying Dagger again. Is it better this time around?

I don't even understand what you are trying to say or do anymore. Are you OP?
Guy I am feeling pretty gud.

All solo! All the markings on the ground before abyss watcher telling me to summon help. Feels good.
Though I took a look over the edge in the catacombs and I am noping out of there and back to cathedral of the deep.
>>334514085
Wait what? Do you actually have to equip the Rosaria fingers or is just accepting the item enough to trigger it?
>>334515101
Lightning is okay, blessed only if it's somehow better than the others.
>>334515369
But all of those are easy mode bosses.
>>334515369
Good job dude, I did it all solo too. Good job for not summoning though man, i swear to god like 90% of people summoned when they died like once to a boss, or never even tried to solo
>>334515460
My buddy joined, never put the covenant on and she turned hostile.
>>334510327
Did you pay $60 to make fun of this game on /v/?
>>334515691
No, these people cherry pick webms and post here
Happened with Bloodborne too
>>334513972
How do I teleport behind people with a katana?
>>334511702
Well what the fuck else are you supposed to use shards and bones for? You can only trade one bone to the crows.
>>334513174
That's actually exactly what arrows are for
>>334515995
You can only do it if it's nothing personnel.
>>334515914
>cherry pick webms
literally "it doesn't count when I don't aggree". Seriously defending bugged trash doesn't make you sound smart or hardcore, you just sound like a miserable corporation cocksucker.
Why do people praise the Dark Souls 2 DLC so much over the main game?
>Dude put enemies everywhere lmao
>Lets have the boss summon constantly throughout the fight while she shoots magic at you
>Lets put 3 guys in a room with a giant constantly charging you
>Lets make it so you can't fucking see while a bunch of enemies attack you.
>>334515995
he's just rolling, so you cant be nothing personnel kid. you get a ring that turns you invisible while rolling and gives you 3 dex points
>>334516147
sure dude
if you're not cherry picking then go ahead and show me some fights where you get your shit pushed in the other 99% of the game where you don't cheese two enemies
>play Demon Souls
>get to Tower Knight
>run on top of archer platform and mash magic arrow
>win
10/10 hardest game ever - IGN
>>334515690
Oh damn. Well, next playthrough I guess.
>>334516401
The level design was good again, DaS1 tier with shortcuts and stuff instead of linear with bonfires every 50 feet. That's it, enemy placement was still garbage.

That's the standard Fromsoft excuse, so it wouldn't surprise me. Personally I'm just starting to think they're really lazy.

Here's another tasty (you), just for (you).
>>334516662
This is the problem with Souls games. Unless you use a guide you're pretty much going to fuck up every single NPC storyline your first time through.
I didn't find siegward in the well. Because why would I approach it? There was nothing there.
I managed to miss Anri's second appearance in the Catacombs and I didn't even visit the Smouldering Lake because that fire demon at the bottom of the bridge 1 hit killed me with a fireblast at the top of the stairs so I said fuck that. So I didn't find Horace, and now I'm at Irithyll and that means Anri is probably dead.
I joined Rosarias Fingers because I thought the whole idea of the new covenant items was that you could join them all with no consequence. Then I go back to firelink and some bitch I've never even seen is like "we're enemies now" so I have no idea what the fuck is going on
I didn't encounter Patches in the Cathedral since I went in from the rafters first and raised the bridge to rosarias fingers meaning he wasn't triggered. I also went in the tower behind firelibk way before Deacons so again, no patches. Now patches doesn't exist and siegward is stuck in the well forever.
This game is stupid, how are you supposed to know any of this bullshit on your first play through?
>>334517245
It's just another Dark Souls Fanboy who can't into real games, don't worry.
The first time I realized just how shitty the "hitboxes" or hit detection actually is I threw Part 1 of the series in to the garbage
>>334517249
>>334515369
>Dying to Vordt and Abyss Watchers
Lmao, report back when you encounter Sulyvahn.
>>334517416
You can still trigger Patches in the tower even if you opened it earlier. Just go up the elevator and back down.
>>334517416
No how. I think that's supposed to be a part of the games replay value, so the player tries different things in other playthrough. But I'm pretty sure that everyone just looks the NPC questlines up on wikis.
>>334510327
You could do the same shit with the Flexile Sentry in the SotFS Sinner's Rise.
Just constantly lure the faggot to the door and shoot arrows at him.
Fuck, bows were the easy mode of that game.
>>334517416
>visiting /v/ and reading spoilers before even beating the game once
I'm doing my first run as SL1 character and I'm stuck at Old Demon King.
Everything before was kind of okay, but I can't dodge perfectly for 10+ minutes (searching for big opening in second phase) dealing 200-250 damage.
>>334518083
ODK was a pain because of that second phase.
>>334517563
>>334517384
thanks again lads, see you next shitpost thread!
>>334511578
and why is AI standing there doing literally nothing?
>>334518083
Why would anyone want to play SL1? It's fucking boring and basically the equivalent of turning up the difficulty in a Bethesda game.
>here's the exact same enemies and attacks but you do 1% damage and die in one hit
>>334518083
>I'm a masochist
Kill yourself.
>>334510327
>corpse falls over in your direction
>passes right through you
why do people buy this shit again?
>>334518393
For me SL1 is something like arcade experience. You have predetermined abilities, and forced to actually learn how to dodge everything and optimize damage off any opportunity.
Also no grinding/overleveling to save your ass.
Aftet finishing SL1 you also appreciate all abilities of "leveled" run more.
At least that's how I see it.
>>334518409
Please don't promote suicide and remember to stay positive.
I may be a casual for asking but how do I make it past the giant in that cathedral of the deep area?
>>334519034
Kill.
>>334517245
Standing on a ledge where the enemy can't get to you and killing it with a bow is a cheese tactic. It's okay though, some people apparently have fun doing it.
>putting points into hp
lmao casuals.
>>334517416
It's exactly what makes the game good you mong. You don't even need to restart the game, because the game is meant to be played more than once. You can endlessly finish the game and enter it again at increased difficulty.
Why would you care about shit you missed on your first playthrough? Don't watch/read spoilers for the first and use a guide for the second one.
>>334510327
meme game for memelords
>le ebin """""hardcore""""" gaymerface
What are some good strength boss weapons? I'm looking at Vordt's Great Hammer but greathammers seem really clunky for pvp
Dark Souls 3 gameplay is kinda shit, but I liked the atmosphere although too many rehashed characters
Anyway here is what I think happens in the game:
-You wake up as unkindled and are immediately put under the spell of whoever is controlling you
-For some reason in the tutorial zone the time of day is very bright when you get to lothric castle you see that the sun is actually eclipsed
-Iundex Gundyr is the guy in charge of testing the unkindled of their worthiness (Iundex is latin for Judge)
-You get to the shrine which has NO exits other than warping, something the shrine in untended graves has, which connects to the dungeon of Oceiros
-This leads me to believe that the shrine you're at is a fake, or maybe an illusion, the fire is legit though, which might be a fake one tended by the (controlled?) fire keeper
-Why is the fireplace sword planted in Iundex Gundyr? And why is he infected with the parasite thing? Could it be he was infected by someone else to weaken him and let an unworthy unkindled through? Or maybe he's a fake animated by the parasite and the real Iundex Gundyr is the one in untended graves (which is much stronger)?
-Why do you find the firekeeper soul right next to the shrine in a tower? could it be the current firekeeper locked it away there (or someone else did to control her)? Why does the firekeeper express regret when you hand her the eyes and why is the firekeeper in the original shrine dead? Maybe someone killed her? Or maybe this is all because your quest has already failed from the get go (more on this later)
-Untended graves is pitch black, there is no one there because everyone is already dead or gone except for the old lady, which acts like she has never seen you because SHE HASN'T, you were led to the fake shrine from the get go and when you awoke it was already too late
-The intro states that unkindled can't light the fire, so why are you sent on a quest by the fire keeper and Ludleth (who for some reason is just hanging around)?
>>334521343
There are no good boss weapons
>>334521506
You can find the firekeeper's eyes in the dark firelink, and giving them to the firekeeper will give some neat information, like how she sees an age of darkness with little flames flickering in the distance.
This leads to one of the endings, where you 'wish for a world without fire' or something.
>>334519034
Roll like a nigger and tank one hit if you have to. If you want to get by the first giant you encounter to get the loot you need to kill him. Get like 198 bolts/arrows and don't bother meleing him. You might need to get close to deal damage but always keep enough distance to un-aggro him if he gets too close
Just finished the game.
It was alright.

you try creating a good AI then, faggot
>>334510593
Nah that goes to those fucking Berserk wolves you fight. Two in Anor Londo and one before Christmas town
>>334514725
This is by far the most polished Souls game aside from maybe BB, and even then they had to patch out skipping exploits in BB.
DaS3 isn't perfect and has bugs, but far less so than the other games even after they were patched to no end.
Totally new to this game, do the shields defense stats help my overall resistance or does it only help when blocking?
>>334523036
The shields defense stats only apply to blocking with the shield, which is why they're so high.
Otherwise simply equipping a kite shield gives you 100% immunity to all physical damage lol
>>334513174
But what purpose does archery serve then?
I am planning on an arhcer only playthrough, try that soulsfag and you have more challenge than you ever had in your boypucci life
>fight the Dancer
>might be my all time favorite Souls boss fight and design challenged only by second form Ludwig and Orphan of Kos
>absolutely beautiful song and design with an awesome moveset
>armor set is fucking fantastic one of the nicest in any game
>the weapon is cool as fuck
>twin blades have the most satisfying moveset in the game
>skill is an actual spin to win that can keep going until you run out of stamina, perfect for someone like me with a shit ton of endurance that has been going dex the whole time
>can't buff or infuse
>has D scaling across the board even at +5
What the fuck? Why did they shit on boss weapons so hard in this game? This is one of the most stylish looking Souls weapons, but I can't find a way to justify using it when the Warden Twinblades exist (for luck builds like mine) or Brigand Twinblades for everyone else.
I felt this way about a lot of unique weapons, like that one that's a halberd with a tip on fire. They always have cool skills and look awesome, but are just so shitty compared to other weapons.
>>334523371
Thanks, that helps. Only played Bloodborne so I'm used to wanting to dodge everything. Might experiment with actually tanking hits and retaliating then.
>>334511910

Trying to figure out a pattern for his 2nd phase, it seems like he turns into random, The boss.
