ITT: Cool concepts taken too far
I like the idea of mimics, it's just that there seems to be more of them than actual chests in daso3
There aren't that many chests in DS3 anyway.
I've encountered like 3, and two of them were mimics, and I'm halfway through the game.
But you can hear the mimic laughing the entire time you're in the room as the chest.
>>334835740
If you watch they also open and close a little
Are the DaS3 mimics physically identical to the DaS1 mimics? I stumbled across a chest, and it looked the same as DaS1 mimic chests
Weapons are cool and bigger ones may emphatize that, but taking it to extremes looks very stupid.
This isn't related to one or other game, but to any, especially japanese ones, that uses this trope.
>>334835585
I've opened four chests so far, and found one mimi.
It was also really well hidden and out of the way
past the dragon on the high wall, up the stairs right below him. I only found the door when I was going back through the area for shits
Seems fine to me.
>>334835881
There is a four legged version.
>>334835881
FLYING SPIN KICKS
>>334836090
>he doesnt like anime as fuck weapons
MUH REALISM
>>334835881
As >>334836108 said, there's one that crawls on all fours, kinda like the chick from The Ring.
Also, was there ever anything in-game that hinted at Lloyd's Talismans put mimics to sleep? I always wondered how someone came across that.
>>334836098
>>334835740
I'm propably halfway through the game, opened 20 chests, 15 of which were mimicks
>>334836090
>video games should be realistic
spotted the casual
>>334836279
So you're saying that, before finishing Road to Sacrifice, I've opened nearly every real chest in the game?
I call bullshit
>>334836108
>>334836218
I'm pretty sure it's physically the same as others, it just walks differently
that's because there are more mimics than actual chests
actually there are more mimics in this game than the combined number of mimics in das1&2
This.. thing.
>>334836279
I guess you missed all the good ones
>>334835585
This. I fell for that make twice in DaS 1 and I learned to smack every chest once before I open it. That trick only really works once or twice, no need to overuse it so much.
>>334836369
my numbers are estimates + I might have missed some, but honestly there is 3 mimicks for 1 chest
>>334836090
>implying a giant enemies with giant weapons aren't imposing as hell
>>334836108
that was in dark souls 2 as well but nobody actually played it
>>334836516
the sword is regular size for him
>>334836516
yhorm looks different here
>>334836423
Is that a Japanese ghost/demon/thing-octopus fucking a ship, or is the ship part of it?
Oh and I just noticed its weird octopus eyeballs are also tits. Is this Senran Kagura? That series has some weird shit.
>>334836590
Less cool, yeah
>>334836590
not yhorm desu senpai
>>334836672
what is this then? i dont remember another giant boss
I don't get what's the problem here, the mimic chests have different chains don't they?
>>334835585
Easy solution, just fucking swing at every chest you see. No exceptions, no survivors.
The sound mimics make though
>>334836716
that's the giant lord from the memory of jeigh in dark souls 2
>>334835585
No, it needs to go further.
Bonfire mimics
Ladder mimics
Door mimics
Corpse mimics
Summon sign mimics
Fog wall mimics
WE MUST GO FULL OUT BABY
>>334836843
>Forgetting the chain method
>>334836871
what? ive beaten dark souls 2 since it came out last week and i dont remember any of this
>>334836875
I would actually love it if they put a single bonfire mimic in the game.
>>334835585
>Gone too far
Not really, they just overused it.
Taken too far is when utility/things of no importance can be Mimics.
>Mimic barrel
>Mimic Ladder
>Mimic Door
>Mimic Fog Gate
>Mimic Bonfire
>Mimic Armor
>Anor Londo MimicThat last one would be hype as fuck, though. You find Anor Londo where it shouldn't be, everything is mostly normal sans some oddities and then suddenly, you are in the "underground" and the whole city begins moving, the disguise falling apart and you gotta kill it from within before you get completely dissolved.
>>334836875
Mimic mimics
>>334836875
>mimic mimics
>>334836875
Even the game disc will be a mimic.
I really hate how From handled Mimics in DS3, it feels like they forgot to put them in the game, and when they were developing Irithyl Dungeon they were like "oh shit we need to put mimics in the game!'' so they filled the place with Mimics, and then thats it.
They are supposed to be spread all over the game to keep the player in check, not 80% of them in the same area.
>>334836921
it was in the base game, you must have missed it
>>334836875
Please no
oi'm so fucking tired of killing mimics, just give my my fucking loot already fuckface. i've killed so many
The game is 50/50 mimics and normal chests I think.
>>334837156
what do you mean base game? the dlc isnt out yet
>>334836921
that's horseshit because the giant lord is mandatory for the giant's kinship
>>334836553
We're all still pretending like Dark Souls 2 was a bad game to fit in, I see.
>>334836875
>summon sign mimics
that would be so great. casuals would think they are just summoning some help and then suddenly they are mimic gravelorded
>>334837098
They are all over the place, though.
There's 2/like 5 chests in High Wall of Lothric alone.
It's just that they decided to say "fuck it." and put a ton there.
>>334836516
on that note,
>not using giant weapons against giant enemies
>>334836875
>tfw 3 games and still no Bonfire Mimics
>>334836875
>>334837039
>That close together
Also,
>Anor Londo Mimic
What. The fuck.
>>334837221
giant lord? giant's kinship? i dont remember any of this being in the game
>>334837231
but dark souls 2 is pretty good, have like 50 hours into it since it came out last week
>>334836875
Sunbro red signs in DaS3 look sort of like their regular sign so "mimic signs" are kind of already here.
>>334837384
dark souls 2 came out in 2014, anon.
the game released last week was dark souls 3
are you trying to bait?
>>334837039
Now I want to play a game where I can play as a mimic. Closest I've gotten is prop hunt or suicide survival.
>>334836875
We are heading that way
There area already enemy and boss mimics as pic related
It mightve bin a tad too many in DS3. Didnt mind much, im sure everyone are checking chests before opening anyways.
>>334837212
are you baiting me
>>334837231
It's a good game just a slightly disappointing sequel.
>>334837098
Mimics were only in 3 places in Dark Souls though? Anor Londo, Duke's Archives and the ONE in Sen's Fortress.
>>334837039
>Anor Londo mimic
10/10
>>334836875
1/4
>>334837507
The hell is that mob. Never encountered that one before and I've platinum'd the game.
>>334837489
what no
2014 was when that one game came out, Ugly Souls or something i dont remember but i doubt anyone played it
dark souls 2, the actual sequel to dark souls came out last week
>>334837384
>Dark Souls 2 I pretty good
Of course it is, it's a fucking souls game. But the autists on this board hate it because Miyazaki's name isn't on the box
>>334837543;^)
the only good thing about mimics is the first time you stupidly open one and get raped by it
then after that you start hitting every chest you come across like a moron
>>334837156
>>334837212
He is doing the "DS2 doesnt exist" meme.
>>334837098
All the chests in Lothric Castle were mimics as well
>>334836653
Those are some pretty nice titties on that horrifying demon thing
>>334837489
>>334837543
He's doing a "Dark Souls 2 doesn't exist" and is saying DS3 is DS2.
>>334837602
2/4
>>334837343
Yeah, it sound real fun getting through an area and dying to a fucking bonfire.
Admit you don't actually like fun and join an S&M club, fucking masochist.
>>334837645
wot, miyazaki worked on it though, he never not worked on a souls game
>got game early without online
>actually had more fun finding stuff and being surprised since every Mimic or trap wasn't covered in bloodstains
Only thing I missed was people's Silhouettes running around and getting summoned to help people on bosses for EZ souls.
They gimped the message system, so when I finally got to play online it wasn't even noticeable.
>>334837690
3/4
>>334837637
Great... one of these faggots
>>334837675
it exists though, i guess people are confusing "ugly souls" and dark souls 2 for whatever reason
>>334837505
Mimicry Man.
It's free.And a puzzle game.
>>334837602
>vempire
Doesn't this guy draw porn?
>>334837505
I actually had this idea once:
>You are a Mimic
>You belong to the Mimicry Agency
>You are contracted by villains to eat adventurers who come to their homes/dungeons.
>You're running late and the Heroes are already in the Dungeon
>You have to sneak around them, Mimic any object, hide the real object, and devour your prey
>It's a time trial fast-paced game and when the Heroes spot you, you get graded based on what they can see/hear/sense as they come close to you
>Based on how good you did and what you Mimiced, you will get an animation of you coming out and devouring X adventurers/ get a sword in your torso and die.
You also can't really have a proper "Mimic" game with Multiplayer, cause the Player that isn't a Mimic would just hit everything anyway.
>>334837620
It's the Deep transformation mobs the one on the Highwall and those in the Consumed King's Garden
>>334837854
That's why you make it so ammo is either limited or shooting hurts the one that is using it, like in TF2 prop hunt.
>>334837709
No, i just played Final Fantasy XII, and the Crystalbug in that game were a fun and interesting concept i wish it was more used in other RPGs.
>>334837795
4/4
>>334837729
yeah I actually pirate every souls game for first playthrough, much more fun
>>334837821
he does
>>334837602
With how many bonfires these games are starting to have, Bonfire mimics would be pretty good addition.
>>334837929
>Wiki it
>Only transforms if you fucking let it
>Tfw thinking you've seen it all but realizing you missed out on an entire form
>>334836875

>>334837505
poschengband has mimic as a playable race, but thats for hardcore roguelike fans
>>334837982
>>334837795
>>334837690
>>334837602
More like mememic amirite?
>>334836875
alright check this shit. enemy mimics. you see an enemy standing around with his back to you just begging for a backstab but right when you go for the kill his back opens up as a mouth to eat you and his limbs turn out to be reverse-jointed to grab you with.
>>334837934
Yes, but then you might as well be playing TF2/Gmod Prop Hunt.
Also,
>Melee attacks have no ammo
So you can't limit it in that way. It'd have to be like SS13, where Mimic is a "possibility" of existing, but not guaranteed under any circumstance.
>>334837096
That'll be useful if they make a time machine back to 2005.
>>334837709
I dunno that would be kind of cool.
You stick your hand out to light a bonfire and it lights you on fire instead.
>>334838052
>>334837982
>>334837795
>>334837690
>>334837602
These are actually good ideas except for the wall one that's just hilariously retarded
>>334836653
>but grimsby
>>334838132
Is the time machine a mimic too?
>>334838067
Screw it I'm stealing your ideas and making the game anyway.
>>334836218
It's not too much of a stretch that plenty of players were chucking loydes at every enemy just to see what happens.
>>334838065
Kinds exists already,
There's even a "boss mimic"
>>334837854
Not that hard to do, really. You could either impose some sort of taxing durability system, wherein striking random objects (especially MOST of the random objects) will quickly ruin your weapon. You need to go for killing blows against the living parts of the mimic's body to effectively win.
Alternatively, have objects be realistically destructible. If you have a short sword, you aren't going to get far with breaking crates, barrels, and other random objects with it, and especially not against chests or lockboxes.
So we have a wooden chest mimic. Swing your sword at it. A bit of wood is carved off, but it doesn't flinch. Open it, thinking you're safe, and OOPS, mimic'd. A proper mimic doesn't just jump up at the slightest hint of danger. It is stalwart and will wait for the time to strike.
What abouttreasure mimics?
>>334838067
Make it so that the adventurers are loot hungry bastards, hitting a chest destroys the loot, and that the party will start to disband since there isn't enough loot to be worth the trouble of the traps and monsters.
Wizard, Warrior, Thief party means three chances to hit the wrong chest before a loss, assuming they don't get munched.
