If you do any of these,fuck off and die you casual scum. You are a fucking piece of shit. Please stop playing my video game because you faggots are the sort of cancer that'll kill dark souls in the future turning into a causal western SJW shit series. Fuck off and play Fallout or other shit games you casual piece if shit.
>>334752527
how else are you supposed to heal?

is this another salty invader thread?

please.

Bonfires you fucking scum.
Haha holy fuck youre a loser
>>334753020
>playing with people online
I forgot to add this one aswell. There are no friends in Dark Souls universe. You are meant to conquer the game in solitude and enjoy the ride. "invading" and "helping" are the most retarded casual shit any gay fucker could do. You are supposed to play this game solo
>>334752527
I just want to role play and have my character drink the tasty fireball whiskey that is estus.
I also use embers midway through a boss fight IF a boss has second form so I can exclaim out loud "HAHA! Now you'll see MY true form then villainous scum!"
>>334752527
>>using torches
Oh, I didn't know that looking was casual now
>>334752527
>being this butthurt at people using estus
>being this anus-injured and people using shield

its people like you that are already ruining the game

I like this even though it sounds super gay.

id reccomend puzzle bop as it seems your taste in gaming.
Torches are just for fun though
Is there actually any need for one?
>>334752527

If any of these completely arbitrary things I made up myself apply to you, you are a filthy casualfag and you should kill yourself

>not using torch to stun-lock slimey dudes and leech monsters
git gud lad
>>334752527
Quick question, how exactly, other than embers, are you supposed to heal?
And why the fuck do you consider using the torch scrubby? lmfao
>>334752527

>>334753020
>Not messing with gank squads instead of just running at them head on like an idiot
>>334752527
honestly using any form of straight sword or rapier makes the game easier than any of these.
>not playing the game blindfolded and with earplugs in
there are people on this website right now that dont play dark souls with full sensory deprivation would just die of cancer its like they want future souls games to have a mandatory female, black, transgender role
fucking casuals
>needing any control input to beat this
fucking casuals am i right?
>>334752527
But op, dark souls will never be a western series because it's a Japanese series.
Do you not understand geography?
>>334753451

>>334753282
i did a princess bride cosplay for DaS1.
i'd keep two rapiers equipped, but only use one of them, so that when shit got tough i could swap out my left one and swap in my right one and exclaim "i'm not left handed!"

I agree with you, OP. I'm tired of these shitters pretending they're hardcore when they're just normalfag redditors who have 800 hours in Fallout 4 or whatever the newest reddit game is.
>>334754053
Kill yourself and stop playing my game. That anime is only liked by mentally deficient children. Which you clearly seem to be with your horrendous bait.

Fuck off and die. You shouldn't be playing this game if you are this much of a casual.

Guess I'll ask anyway. Anyone getting lots of connection errors with the latest calibration? I wasn't having any of these issues yesterday on 1.03

I like to drink candy sometimes leave me alone. I like good whiskeys like tin cup too. AND we decided in other threads estus tastes like fireball whiskey. Or Sunny D with Vodka. Idk.

Dark Souls IS super gay anon.

How much Estus flasks did it take?
Fuck off you normalscum causal. Go play CoD a game actually made for co-op.

Have you tried plugging it out and plugging it back into your asshole?

Ive never played dark souls
how is using shields casual?
>>334754535
Dodging takes a bit more skill. Literally the only reason.
>>334752527
>taking a mediocre game seriously
souls have always been mediocre neogaf shit
>>334754535
it isn't, OP is either baiting or is the kind of autistic you usually only hear about on the evening news after they go on a spree killing
>>334754505
Hahahahahahaha. Keep telling yourself that. Whatever helps you sleep in your cot next to mommy at night. You probably died at least a dozen times in the tutorial.
>>334754458
>>334754358
Nice originality. Would expect nothing less from a retarded normie.
>>334754607
are there any counters to players who use shields or are shields just buffs to everything
it seems kinda stupid to ignore shields and just dual weird/single wield only
>>334754535
Tanking hits is easier than timing rolls.
>>334754663
>You probably died at least a dozen times in the tutorial.
>projecting this hard
It's okay. You only want to imagine everyone is as terrible as you so that you feel better about yourself.
>>334754641
This is my point. Casual shitheads like you are the ones making this a norm. Making excuses for being shit at games and insulting true players.
Kys
>>334754626
This. It's literally lebbit the game
>hehe le ebin hard game xD
>he needs to heal at all
What's the matter casual? Can't dodge?but really though, kill yourself
>>334754730
>are there any counters to players who use shields
You can kick.
>>334754760
Nice reverse psychology. Very similar to feminist tactics. Did you pick this up on r/darksouls? Perhaps a blog on tumblr. You are shit at this game. It's sad that your still here trying to defend your casualness
>>334754760
>projecting
Nice projecting, bro.
>>334752527
you sound like a true dimwit
>>334754294
I summon dark spirits into my world with three friends' phantoms camping their summon to gank them using a mix of farron spam, pyromancy, and rapiers.
I stand in the back pointlessly chugging estus and spamming the welcome emote.
The game allows it, they need to be less shit if they want to survive.
>>334752527
I don't understand this kind of bullshit, game gives you items to use ingame and you won't use them just because you want to be "Hardcore" and last time i checked the game wasn't meant for unique snowflake fags only.

>the game allows it
This strawman argument again. I could go and take a shit on the street and say "Well life allows me xD" but I don't because we have rules. If you really use this shit argument,you are autistic. This is about self respect and having the balls to set rules for yourself
Kys causal
pvp is basically unplayable without a shield.
>>334754535
In old souls titles shields were inferior to rolls and taught bad behavior to new players.
In ds3 using a shield is fine, because if you engender passivity you get shield broken hard.
>>334755560
Read the thread,newfag.
How can you say this series is, "turning into a causal western SJW shit" when all those things you listed have been in every Souls game since the beginning?
>>334754535
It isn't, dodging actually makes the game easier than using shields

So I can reply to someones post from two hours ago who isn't even here anymore? Pass.
Reminder that if you needed to summon anyone to beat the Abyss Watchers you are literally casual scum. I consider myself to be pretty shit at video games and I was able to beat them soloeventually
You only have one chance to play the game blind. Anyone who has actually done this will tell you how enjoyable it is to overcome such a challenge alone. You have every other playthrough to fuck around with your friends and gang rape bosses.
People you call elitists are actually trying to help you poor souls (no pun intended) get a much more memorable experience for your money, however impolitely. Take it from someone who has experienced DS1 in its purest form. I used to wish I could erase all of my knowledge of that game just so I could re-experience it again, blind.
In short, don't be so quick to discard others opinion just because you perceive it to be rude or aggressive. I urge you all that have summoned phantoms and beaten the game to go back through it solo, feel the adrenaline and fear as you creep through dangerous areas and face down massive monsters alone. It's the same theory that watching a scary movie alone in the dark is scarier than it would be with friends.
.
>>334753245
I always solo bosses but... saying "the game is meant to be played solo!!!" when it clearly has a robust (if not flawed) online system is just fucking silly. If everything was made to only be soloed they wouldn't put in a fucking summoning system.
>tfw ganking an invader
>the actually expect a fair fight
>>334755906
Where is the line drawn? Does it also only count if I do it naked Sl 1 with no weapons, fully hollow?
>>334754927
>t's sad that your still here trying to defend your casualness
I'm not defending those faggots, but I think it's hilarious you think you're some pvp badass when you couldn't even kill faggots that did this. Pathetic.
>>334754535
Literally nothing wrong with using a shield when this shit can happen
>>334753245
>game has online mechanics interwoven into the campaign
>covenants and items meant for dealing with invaders or getting help
>have to turn your internet off to play solo
>THESE GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED SOLO
wew
I remember back when there was just one game in the series and /v/ just talked about how good and unique it was rather than being elitist dispshits about it.
What went wrong?
>>334756245
>>334756245
Is it his ribs that do damage? Or is it shitty hitboxes?
>>334756321
Community went to shit when it went to PC
>>334756181
There you go again. Creating fallacies to suit your opinion. Are you a feminist?
>>334756394
it was his leg
>>334756056
It's just a dick waving competition.
>>334754535
Well anyone that uses shields for this game is either fashion souls or a meme because most shields will not block 100%and thus will be worthless OR due to the abundance in "Bourne like" bosses they will not fully block the combos and be staggered or their weapons deal some other form of damage which isn't blocked, like fire, but still reduces stamina making it, once again, the worst option out of any option you have
>>334756354
This one is actually okay. You rolled way too early.
Also put some armor on dip shit
>>334756056
>>334756261
READ THE THREAD YOU ILLITERATE MOUTH BREEDERS
>>334752527
Anyone else really upset that you only start off with 3 Estus Flasks and no other healing items? Literally what was wrong with Life Gems?
>>334756394
That kind of enemy just turns into a giant living hurtbox whenever he uses any of his attacks
>>334756426
You're creating a straw man trying to make me out to be reddit or whatever. Then you say I'm creating fallacies. How old are you, kid?
>>334752527
>>334752527
>acting all high and mighty
Try beating Gundyr at SL25 with a +2 weapon. I know it doesn't mean shit because PvE is easily exploitable, but I know you still couldn't do it, faggot.
>>334756423
The Xbros probably did more damage. They are the ones who had this deep obsession with passing off as hardcore players at the time.
>>334752527
memesoul in a nutshell. People who "support" Fromsoft by buying, sometime several copies, then meme online without playing.

If you do this you're a fucking casual and you're shitting up the glorious nippon Souls series
>>334756545
Hilarious. Simply hilarious. I'm not going to respond to your bait anymore since you clearly have no platform to stand on. Just keep living on knowing you are causal who will never achieve full satisfaction playing dark souls.
So how viable is a magic swordsman build in this game?
I was thinking of using making a dex/faith build is that any good?
>>334753020
>had a single invasion
>I was alone
>the faggot was using a rapier and rapiered my butthole to death despite getting hit three times by my ultra greatsword
Big weapons are so fucking useless in this game. He kept trading hits with me for equal damage
>hardcore gaymers
The Souls games are designed primarily for online play. If you think otherwise then you are wrong.
Lol fag u probably get ganked all the time and now ur here whining like the bitch you are how about you get some skill in the game fuck boy
I didn't use a shield till pontiff. Holy shit they are useful.
>>334756526
>mouth breeders
They phrase is mouth breathers new friend. Git gud or go home
>>334756521
Yeah I rolled a little too early but the problem is how the whole enemy just becomes a giant hurtbox, tracks worse than DS2 and has 360 degree attacks. I was out of the way of that attack but still got hit
>this thread
So OP. Are you one of those /vg/ niggers that was shitting up the board the first few days after launch about console superiority because you couldn't get your toaster to run the game?
>>334752527
Using weapons should be on that list. Since Magic is much more difficult due to long ass casting animations.
>>334756720
I'm the casual, yet you can't beat the people who use this shit?
Hilarious. Simply hilarious.
>I'm not going to respond to your bait anymore since you clearly have no platform to stand on.
"You're roasting me alive in my own thread so I need to stop talking to you so I can keep whatever dignity I have left knowing I'm so terrible that I can't even beat casuals when I invade"

"wah they play the game in ways i don't play the game it's too hard to kill them i'll go tell them to die on the internet"

maybe you should collect stamps or get a less stressful hobby friend

Why include this one? who the fuck has ever used a torch, I cant think of a single time in the game you need the extra light.
Goddam I just got to the Izalith area and I'm getting my shit reamed by everything. Where do I find more sorcery scrolls? I've only found one but I've found 3 cleric and 2 pyro.
