Because it's R A D I C A L

thanks
Because of that fucking music and the anime part in his second phase
honestly they couldn't top it in DS3, and I don't think they'll manage in the dlc
>>338132917
It is literally one click away
I want to call you lazy but I can't rightfully do that because it would have taken less time to reverse image search and find out than it did to type your post and solve the captcha
I guess you're just fucking dumb

People only like bosses because they're easy. That way when they find people who dislike their favorite boss they can gloat about how easy it was and how much "fun" they had fighting it when in reality all the fun is derived from the struggles of other people.
>>338133398
(you)
>>338133280
OP assumed he would be recognizable to anyone on the board because we've been talking about him and his game nonstop for months.
Do you even play videogames mate?
Multiple stages to the fight, includes a cutscene in between, very tense and dramatic. The Lothric twins followed the same formula and they're revered for the same reasons, though they were a bit easier IMO.
>>338133582
I play on PC. I am aware of Bloodborne and some detail but not the bosses/enemies in particular.
>>338133787
Do yourself a favor and at least listen to his soundtrack. It's an incredible boss fight and should be experienced on some level.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALbVEmzY5S4
He's a giant, relentless bastard of a boss with like 40 different attacks and combos, he's just fucking well designed.
>why do people like good thing?
I get you wanted to talk about Bloodborne, OP, but you don't have to ask dumb questions to achieve that.
Challenging
Fun
Creepy and atmospheric
Interesting lore
Exciting second stage
Has cool dialogue after the fight
Gives you one of the best weapons in the game
>>338133000
dancer is a beautifully designed boss tha sits on top of my souls boss list
never played bloodborne though so i cant say if its better than ludwig
>>338134354
Dancer is a bit bland, I thought. Really cool looking boss, but her actual moveset isn't that interesting.
Because YOU WERE AT MY SIDE ALL ALONG
>>338134308
>that after fight dialogue
jesus christ ;_; i'm not supposed to feel bad for a boss
0-4 play bloodborne
5-9 don't play bloodborne
I think it really is a shame Bloodborne wasn't released on other consoles.
I guess on the one hand they could focus all their time on just the one version, but it's such a good game (I would argue the best in the 'series') and it's a shame that many people missed out on it.
>>338134529
Sure you are. It's practically a Miyazaki staple. Astraea and Sif ringing any bells?
>>338134636
Even number: Play Dark Souls 3 again
Odd Number: Start a new Bloodborne playthrough
hey, I'm new to the game, I'm about to beat the dlc, and I have the last boss fight for main game. where should I go to read about the lore? is there a recommended place I can check out
The music, he's fun and challenging, the entire second phase.
>>338133354
Also this.
Does anyone else love that all of the "magic" in Bloodborne just has you/your weapon warp space instead? I fucking love that you can see galaxies through the blade of the Moonlight sword, or that a Call From Beyond just opens up a wormhole and pulls little comets through it.
>>338134439
her moveset is prob the weakest part but her moving animation combined with the music and her foot tapping sound is just so atmospheric and rythmic
>>338134683
Who are these many people? It was released on something almost everyone has except the hardcore pcucks
>>338134823
I like the effect of gaining insight, but I can't quite screen cap that
>>338133000
I loved how they reintroduced the Moonlight Great Sword too, really made it seem like it was something special. I wish Dark Souls 3 had done something as dramatic with it too, but they didn't.
>>338133916
thanks senpai
>>338134354
i like the dancer a lot
really cool boss
but ludwig is just top tier for me

>>338133398
One of my favorite DS3 bosses was the Nameless King but he killed me like 30 times. Same goes for Gascoigne and Ludwig in Bloodborne.
>>338135680
How do they react? I love this game
>>338136253
True, Living Failures is fantastic. I never actually noticed how amazing the song was until listening to it outside the game.
>>338135506
>you can save the skeleton
I would say this is mathematically impossible. Ludwig is constantly moving around the arena, and he has one massive forward AOE attack. I don't think it's physically possible to keep him form hitting the guy.
>>338136350
If you summon two NPCs, Valtr and the Madaras brother, they'll stunlock both forms.
Not sure how you could do it solo, though.
>>338136330
I love how the first phase of the track sounds like it could be out of an old 1950s alien invasion movie or radio drama, and the second phase is full victorian gothic choir
it's a microcosm of the themes of the second half of the game
>>338136469
I kind of want Miyazaki to make a War of The Worlds knockoff now.
>>338136350
>>338136458
I've done it solo and with a friend, you need to herd Ludwig and keep him near the stairs and facing away from the skeleton, then it's up to the rngods
>>338136531
Does the skeleton respawn? I'm pretty sure if he dies once then that's him dead forever for that file.
>>338136469
>not microkosm

Ludwig is good, but I think I like Laurence's theme more for the remix factor.

>>338132215
Phase 1 felt felt like a Monster Hunter battle using Bloodborne mechanics. I got my ass handed to me so many times but when I started getting patterns and movement down I felt like a boss. I went from getting owned in about 3 seconds to getting through phase 1 without a scratch. What initially felt like a near impossible task actually proved extremely doable with practice. Good times.
>>338132215
The fight flows perfectly. The entrance sets up the first part of the fight, name dropping an important figure in the lore. It begins with a crazy overhead slash, starting the fight almost immediately. It's fast paced, frantic fight against an aggressive beast. And then...
"Ahhh you were at my side all along. My one true mentor...my guiding moonlight."
And the music changes, the boss' name changes, the entire fight changes. No longer a beast being fought, but a warrior of moonlight. Still fast paced, but more of a stand off against hunters, one a beast and one a hunter of beasts.
>>338136812

So the entire base game has a lot going on about this guy, Ludwig. We know who he was, and his purpose, but never met the nerd, or know his fate.
So you enter what is essentially Hunter Hell, and at the end of a river of blood is a horse-man-mutant that has lost its mind. The horse-man-mutant being directly influenced by Buddhist depictions of tortured/torturing fiends in a layer of hell.
Layers like onions, onions are like Bloodborne, which means Bloodborne is like an Ogre. Ogres are green, as is envy traditionally. What does that mean?Never ever.
He's aggressive as fuck. The arena is deeply unsettling, the music is good. You whittle him down, avoiding his pretty great moveset, and then it happens. He notices the one thing that helps him regain a semblance of his mind, despite being an abomination, he's such a strong mother fucker that even in this state he's capable of remembering his purpose - because of a sword. He gets a new moveset, the music transitions to something different, and the whole tone of the fight changes.
Good boss, 9/10.

However,I'm perfectly fine with Micolash as well.
>>338137165
>>338137403
I didn't understand what was the role of the moon presence, but i think it caused the plague since its looks like a beast mixed with a great one.
because a lot of casuls have trouble with him, and that helps the true gaymers to feel like really really nice.
>>338137460
it isn't random, it's latin. a few of the tracks have been translated, like Cleric Beast and Hail the Nightmare
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIfbOTXioZk
I tried to contact the composer for Ludwig's lyrics but no fucking luck
>>338137575
>I didn't understand what was the role of the moon presence
It was a semi-benevolent Great One that was aiding the hunters to fight the scourge. It chose you to kill Mergo, because Mergo would have destroyed mankind.
>>338137460
About half of them, actually. It's just that the best ones do have chanting.
It's actually not random chanting, though, it does have consistent lyrics throughout, usually Sanguine, but you also get things like maleditcus and inficimur. Unlike Souls, two hostile areas actually have background music. One is called Soothing Melody and the other Hail the Nightmare.
>>338136914
>that one image of Ebrietas with her tubes extended out like hair
Interesting.
>>338137575
Seems based on Nyarlathotep, so possibly shares the same purpose. Also seems that Great Ones dislike other Great Ones, so you're pushed in to killing those. I'm not sure if your power is harvested to a degree, so you pose no threat to Moon Presence and continue to watch over the dream, but that's what it seems like to me.
I don't have a great understanding of the game though.
How was the soundtrack for Bloodborne such fucking orgasmic awesomeness?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHIkUzmNmc0
Shame only one video like this was made.
>>338137575
Oedon is more likely to be the cause of the plague, since Oedon uses blood as a medium. Oedon is also the Great One the church worships.
>>338137962
The old Umbilical Cord description from before the game was patched had a description saying that MP made a deal with the first Hunters and that's what started the hunt.
Why was Dark Souls 3 such a disappointing ending to the series? It had none of the charm, mystery or grandeur that Bloodborne did. It didn't have any surprises and was just a greatest hits of all the souls games.
>>338138125
Ah, that's interesting, I never knew about that. I'm guessing they intended to explain that a little more, but scrapped it with the DLC stuff they apparently cut.
>>338138125
>those things

FUCK. OFF.
>>338137834
Care to name a few? After Demon's, composers they worked with put that shit everywhere, it ruins the listening experience for me.
>>338138246
I got my PS4 just recently and made the unfortunate mistake of playing BB right before DaS3.
I wish I hadn't because BB ruined DaS3 for me. I felt like I would have enjoyed DaS3 a lot more if I hadn't played BB, because BB hit basically everything I love about the series and DaS3 didn't.
>that flail weapon
I want it.
>>338132215
LITERAL RAPEHORSE!
>>338138362
I don't dislike DS3 in any way, but it definitely didn't blow me away like Bloodborne did.
>>338138246
>It didn't have any surprises and was just a greatest hits of all the souls games.
Because that's exactly what a lot of people wanted, more Dark Souls. I feel like it's a good addition to that series, but it doesn't compare to Bloodborne. I'm trying to reserve my judgement of DaS3 until the DLC, but I did enjoy it.
>>338138318
What in the world is that from?
>>338138539
I did enjoy it too but fuck me was it disappointing after BB. Even the music disappointed me.
>>338138369
I wonder how a weapon like that would have functioned. I can't see any trick mechanics to it.
>>338138318
Movie?
>>338132215
First time through I fucking LOST MY SHIT during the cutscene of him talking about his sword "my old friend, my mentor... you've always been here with me..."
I spent like 2 full minutes just running away from him because I couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous an ugly horse monster talking to a sword was
>>338138612
Probably evolved into the Beast Cutter.
Club that turns into a flail, I would imagine.
>>338138560
>>338138620
Southbound, damn fine anthology horror movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skNeUjtjD6Y
>>338138330
Well, do you mind non-lyrical singing? Like long wailing laaaaas. Celestial Emissary has this.
Blood Starved Beast and Lullaby for Mergo are completely non-lyrical, though and you'll probably hear the former over and over and over if you go into Chalice dungeons. Soothing Hymn is background music to Upper Cathedral Ward that has no singers. Orphan of Kosm's theme doesn't get lyrics until his second phase.
The best thing about this battle is how From managed to trick customers with pre-release demo where he only had one phase. I expected him to be just a beast boss even though i've already noticed a sword on his back in his intro. But the start of a second phase is so masterfully done and powerful and second phase is so visually impressive with enormous moonlight beams filling the screen he skyrocketed to being one of my favorite bosses ever. Godly OST as well.
>>338136932
Why don't you just back-up your save?
That way you can kill him as many times as you want without needing to do an entire playthrough each time.
>>338138729
Thanks, anon.
This is really nice thread.
>>338138673
I guess if it was that or the Beast Cutter, I'd take the Cutter. But a flail weapon does sound cool too. I wish there were more trick weapons that changed up the pattern of a small cutting implement that turns into a large, heavy swinging weapon. More stuff like the Boom Hammer, the Amygdalan Arm, and Simon's Bowblade, for example.
>>338132779
>am i fitting in /v/?
I like the first part more than second.
Including the music.
AMA
>>338138583
I think the theme is just a lot better, it's easy for dark fantasy to become stale. Especially considering they weren't really doing much different from DeS, it follows the same beaten path, but doesn't have a lot of what carried DaS; the NPCs, they added a lot of depth to that world. They try to invoke some fond memories, using designs similar to earlier games, and showing you the recurring theme which is ironically the repetition of its world. There's not much to look at and think "wow, that's new", and that makes it feel a bit boring. But I liked what it did, I liked a lot of the bosses, and genuinely consider it better than other Souls titles for its consistency.
>>338138948
From the look of it, and assuming it did change to beast cutter, I'm not sure the change would be much more than cosmetic.
Maybe the flail would have had physics and trailed along the ground, but I imagine something like that would work basically the same as Beast Cutter. Maybe it would have a combo of serrated and blunt damage.
>>338138948
There's a lantern flail in the original concepts, I think. I love the idea of that, but it'd probably just play like a slower, hard hitting canewhip.
>>338138958
I'm also one of those weird faggots who found the first phase easier than the second.
>>338139098
Shit, that sounds awesome. I always like it when games take something not intended as a weapon and make it into one. I'm kind of surprised there were no fishing-themed trick weapons in the Hamlet, like a giant hook or something.
>>338138762
Kind of like how they fooled us with the Lovecraft shit in all the marketing martial before the base game released
Ebrietas was in the Grand Cathedral in the Project Beast leaks, and Amygdala was clinging to a building in the alpha, both were blatantly on display, but never elaborated on.
Similarly, Ludwig's sword was always on his back and glimpsed during the previews for the Old Hunters, and we could guess it was the Moonlight Greatsword based on Ludwig's Holy Blade, but it was never elaborated on save for them mentioning his second phase was disabled.
>>338138829
Well yeah, kinda late now.
I didn't think of it at the time.
Apparently Master Willem was originally going to be slime.
What was the deal with those random messenger lamps in the Nightmare Frontier anyway?
>>338139390
probably pulled back the design to what we have now so he could rock his chair and we'd have that creaking sfx for ambiance.
he's still got the welts, and growths on his neck in-game
>>338138369
>crow garb without the feathers
That's all I wanted.
I would sell my soul and my left nut for another Bloodborne dlc. Though I couldn't imagine what it would be about. Maybe a cool King in Yellow theatre thing or something.
>>338139232
There's the harpoon gun, but a giant hook would have been pretty great. What could the transformed version of that be, though? Keep a wire attached, and the transformed version has you swinging it like Orphan?
>>338139514
You can encounter the same lamps in chalice dungeons, they help you to see whether or not you've been here already.
>>338139579
I think Souls should have capes as a separate piece.
>>338139570
Yeah, I think the way he appears in-game currently is better. While I adore the atmosphere of Lecture Hall, the almost cartoony slime enemies ruin it.You have a tentacle coming from your mouth.
>>338139648
Genius.
>>338138735
Thanks, these are better. I also noticed that Gehrman doesn't get chanting until its last minute, too. I understand that latin chanting creates the impact they are trying to capture but after using them over and over again the method only gets cheap. Something like Lullaby for Mergo is much more memorable for me than the rest of it.
I like this Amygdala more, I think. Would have been a better fight with a smaller, faster Amygdala.
goddamn shame i'll never play this, Ludwig is my favorite soulsborne character
>>338139579
>Though I couldn't imagine what it would be about
It could be something Pthumerian-related and adding all their weaponry as trick weapons.
Maybe set in their capital, with you needing Yharnam Stone to access the place. With final boss being Oedon and you needing 3 cords to fight him.
Another interesting design change. Some weird head bubble on Moon Presence.
I heard something somewhere that Moon Presence was originally going to perma-kill you if you died to it. Was this just bullshit, or did Miyazaki mention it in an interview?
>>338139903
>Oedon as a boss
So just a big pool of blood that you splash in until he dies?
>>338139927
He actually uses that thing in battle with him. He can summon strange bubbles filled with blood that stop you from using your vials when they hit you numbing mist-style.
>>338139993
You mean that wasn't what I was doing the entire game?tfw daddy Oedon was cuddling you the entire time.

>>338140017
I thought it was cool how Moon Presence had attacks based around your healing mechanics.
He's nothing impressive gameplay wise, but visual design and music wise he's great.
>>338140078
He just needed to be harder to be a really good final boss. With more HP, more damage, more aggression and using his unique gimmicks like 1hp gaze or healing seal on regular basis. You can beat him so fast you will never see him using his special abilities.
>>338139583
That's what I was thinking. Fishing hook weapon on a metal cable- you swing the hook by hand normally, then reel out the cable and lash it around in transformed mode.

truly these feelings of yours are genuine as you are an expert at video game design
>>338140380
Why are you in this thread if you hate Soulsborne? Oh wait, you're baiting for (you) so you can derive self worth from something in your life for a change.
>>338140359
Those are actually in-game. The tentacled ones are the ones in Cathedral Ward, while the non-tentacles are the bosses.
>>338140391
That image is the one that sold me on Dark 3. I hope it does appear.
>>338140359
The lesser Amygdala's do have those tentacles, though.
I think it would have been better if Amygdala himself had tentacles. He's kind of a bland design, considering how interesting the heads of the lesser ones are, being hollow and tentacled, but their eyes bulging out while firing lasers.
>>338140475
All areas shown in the Beast trailer appeared in the final game, though. Except that magic sword key thing, which was probably just an early concept of Chalice Dungeons being locked areas in the overworld or something.

>Key to the inner part of the bridge. Beyond the great bridge that couldn't possibly have been made by human hand, hides a mystery that has yet to be discovered. Some say that the realm of God awaits, but others…
Imagine that after beating those 3 angels on the top of lothric castle an enormous bridge leading into the dark sign itself will show up, with you ending in this place.

Tonitrus will tear them apart, as will Bolt Paper.
Try summoning the NPC as well.

It briefly shows a location filled with green lanterns and there's none of them in base game, this kind of illumination was only in research hall.

>>338140640
thank you for deciphering what that anon truly meant, clearly he meant to type in all caps in an immature matter
thank you again for blessing us with your insightful views on game design and insuring the quality of this thread
>>338140640
See >>338140236
Nice attempt at spin control, you hand in that Polygon resume yet?
>>338140698
Yes. There's also unreleased tracks in game files, some of them are straight "oh shit this is a final battle against some enormous being that will decide the fate of a world" material.

>>338140420
if you want an advice , look from where the meteors fall , i'm in the DLC for first time (but on NG+ and level 100) ,
>>338140669
Just checked the trailer, the green lanterns area you're talking about is Cathedral Ward.
>>338140802
meteors aren't a problem once you figure it out
If anything i'm maybe under leveled. Character is at level 70
>>338140732
There is a NPC summon. You need tokill the guy in the prison area after Ludwig. He's in one of the cells. Then stick on the rune and he'll pop up outside the Living Failures room.
>>338140794
I wonder if we get to finally fight Frampt.
>>338139579
The constable set is the crow set without the feathers. Seriously, compare them both
>>338140761
He asked the question, my original statement (which if you click literally one more time you can see) was that it was fantastic visually and sound design wise.
>go back to Polygon
Ironic given that you're upset because somebody doesn't have the single opinion you want to be allowed on the board.
>>338140750
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting, for all your autistic insistence on maintaining a nice dialogue you started the shitflinging with the implication that not liking one facet of a game means you're hating on it to get people upset.
>>338140871
then just play safe , helps a lotstuck on laurence , would help if the camera wasn't so fucking shit
>>338140884
how the fuck didn't I find out about this?
Thanks, anon
>>338132215
>le ebin berserk rape horse reference
i am still amazed that sonyggers are still hyped. bloodborne is not as good as everyone says.
>>338140794
I like the strings, the choir is a bit too ''noise wall'' though, the Pontiff's theme is the only on in the base game I really like so far.
>>338140885
>one DLC is about Angels, Archangel Frampt shows up but ain't a final boss
>another DLC is about Londor, Bishop Kaathe shows up but ain't a final boss
>but if you meet some hidden requirements like completing DLC NPC storylines you can fight them after beating both DLC and they take shape of an enormous primordial hydra
>>338140903
They're completely different. Constable has one button set, crowfeather has two, crowfeather is far longer and has the small shoulder coat above the feather cloak.
Though they accessorise well.
>>338140918
But if you hate to play the game, why are you here? We all know why.
>>338140918
thank you for responding. i did not know i was shitposting, i would have thought that coming into a thread and claiming that an objectively amazing boss was not impressive, as well as stating that souls games never had good gameplay.
but clearly i am in the wrong, your opinion is superior and you have vastly improved the quality of this thread with your presence and insightful views on game design
>>338140548
You totally right I haven't played in a minute and only remembered boss Amy's
>>338141071
Because I saw the thread in the catalog. It's not like I got up, changed my clothes, got in a car and drove somewhere, it's one click and 2 seconds of typing.
>>338141094
What metric are you basing this bosses quality on?
>>338141049
Kaathe is the angel that comes to Gertrude, he and Aldia convinced Lothric not to link the flame
>>338141051
On the whole bloodborne's sets mix and match better than the other games, except maybe DaS1.
they just need to fix the clipping and collision issues at the seams, they won't, but they need to,
>>338141182
>Aldia
I bet you're talking about a first scholar who was a mentor of the Prince but there's literally no evidence that he's Aldia and he left behind a sorcery and not a pyromancy.
>>338141173
So you are complaining about shitposts in a thread you came to shitposts in. They call this post-ironic right?check that wicked pun yo
>>338141173
timing, varied moveset, weaknesses and resistances, range, and damage
but clearly those criteria are not what make good bosses
and since the soulsborne games are clearly as mediocre as you say, may you please enlighten us as to what a good boss is?
because you are obviously not shitposting, of course
>>338132215
for me it was amazing because i'd been deep into bb lore before the expansion came out. and he is obviously an important character in the lore.
>>338141049
>High Seraph Frampt and Kaathe, The Low One
>both serpents grossly fused together, partially covered by white feathers
>they fight like a huge, deformed angel
>firing holy beams of light and dark, twisted together in sin
>their dialogue reveals that the serpents have been in existence long before the First Flame awoke, and that they're the only leftover beings from the previous universe
I don't know if this would be the most retarded thing or the absolute coolest thing. In any case, the serpents are currently a wildly flailing loose plot thread that needs to be sewn in.
>>338141257
Supposedly Aldia is mentioned by name in the Japanese version.
>>338141310
He's not really important, but he is very present and significant in the lore.
He basically founded the hunters as we know them. Gehrman was the first, but he never really started a school of hunters, just his own apprenticeships. Ludwig began the wider recruitment and the hunting craze.
>>338141257
Aldia dabbled in everything, sorcery and pyromancy in order to find a solution
and pyromancy requires intelligence in Das3
i can tell you dont like das2, but you have to admit that Vendrick, Aldia, Raime, and Vesdalt were all great additions to the lore
>>338141049
I wasn't hugely into the world of DaS3 but if they expand on the angels in the DLC I'm so in
>>338140952
It's Loran Camerabeast all over again, don't lock on. I never cared for the fight
>>338141329
There's way more than just two serpents. I honestly don't know how the battle against them could look like but i hope it's some kind of a creepy as fuck Idea of Evil-tier shit.
>>338141484
I think a battle like that would have to be mechanically exciting as well, so some big gimmick fight with a bunch of serpents would kind of suck.
The serpents probably won't be a boss fight, though.
Are you supposed to level faith and int equally for pyromancy in ds3? It scales with the lowest of the two?
Made a pyromancer in ds3, was surprised to see how many of the starter enemies were weak to fire.
>>338141414
Raime and Velstadt were just side characters with no major relevance
Vendrick is cool
Aldia isn't offensive, but not that interesting either
>>338141283
I'm not complaining about shitposts, I'm saying that to complain about somebody lowering the quality of the thread and detracting from discussion and then making half a dozen shitposts is hypocritical.
>>338141301
That's not a metric, that's listing four things that you like about it. You said it was objectively good, so what commonly accepted or peer reviewed metric are we basing this off of?
>may you please enlighten us as to what a good boss is
Vergil 3, The Boss, The End, the final 3 Collosi in SoTC.
Because its artiffcially difficult
>>338141414
Artorias, Raime, and Ludwig are the holy trinity of left handed swordsman in Souls.
>>338141627
oh my mistake. i could have sworn those were all metrics as those are the popular criteria on how to judge a boss's quality
but since you know what the metrics are, would you please explain to us why the bosses you listed are superior to ludwig?
i cannot wait to see you not pull things out of your ass
I think, regardless of what you think of Bloodborne, that its two stage boss mechanic was the best addition to the series out of any game.
Previously a few bosses had two stages, but they usually weren't a drastic change. Bloodborne introducing the idea of a boss that evolves over time is my favourite thing that it did.
Is there any official Ludwig art? Want to poster print something
is the bloodborne art book out? is there ludwig concept art?
>>338141414
The only interesting thing about Raime is his assmadness towards Velstadt.
Vendrick is mostly good thanks to his godly VA. Same VA voiced Oceiros who ended up being more memorable despite having way less lines of dialogues. Aldia is just a late attempt at fixing DS2 lore. I honestly don't wish to see any of them again.
>>338141760
You've yet to show what peer reviewed or commonly accepted metric you're basing this off, I'm not a dummy using hyperbole so I'm not going to claim that something is objectively good just because I like it.
![holy_moonlight_sword[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/57muCuu.jpg "holy_moonlight_sword[1].jpg")
Why is his sword so lewd?
>>338141780
I prefer the more subtle phase changes. While I'm totally fine with cutscene phase changes like Ludwig and, later, Lothric, I also greatly appreciate things like the multiple forms of BSB that continually and progressively become more relentless - and add poison - as the battle goes on.
>>338141946
you made the claim the ludwig was nothing impressive gameplay wise first
so using the bosses you listed, explain why ludwig is not impressive and those bosses are
don't back peddle your way out of this, sweety
>>338141893
>Oceiros
>memorable
Kind of a bland bossfight, though a funny "meme character"
The one thing in Dark 2 that I actually loved was Vendrick, as a character. His """fight""" is so fucking dumb, but the dialogue they added in the DLC was amazing and really fleshed him out and made him a fascinating, endearing character.
>>338141972
Explosive orgasms.
>66 original posters
Of COURSE.
Fuck off, Sonybronies.
Dark Souls 3 > Bloodborne. Without any fucking question open for discussion.
>>338141974
I think Maria is one of the best examples, as she has multiple phases that make small changes, ultimately adding up to her final phase being drastically different to her first.
>>338142029
Yes, and your only retort was that it was objectively good, so either state what objective metric it's based off of or capitulate the point.
>so desperate for points that he's defaulting to acting like a fag
Classic, I'm not here to defend those bosses, I don't care if somebody else likes them.
>>338142087
fuck off, i'm a pc only player >>338139805

oh cute! you actually did back peddle
well, my suspicions were true, you're just a troll that came here to needlesly start shit. it was fun seeing you back out
thanks for playing!
>>338142053
Oceiros is very memorable if you look at creepy details of his boss battle.
He's holding an invisible child in first stage and tries to protect him from you.
In second stage he goes mad and slams the poor baby into the ground, starting to run around with still alive and crying baby in one of his hands. Every time he slams that hand into the earth you can hear a baby cry and sometimes see a small explosion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6vCZdcp6hE
This, together with his connection to time/space travel shenanigans and dragons makes him immensely creepy and way more memorable than pretty bland Vendrick.
>>338141717
Except Artorias isn't left handed.
>>338141972
it's the L2 poke
>>338142338
the das2 weapon description says all wielders of the blade were left handed
>>338142338
maybe not in the lore, but for all intents and purposes in-game he is, it's a thematic tie.
>>338142374
>the das2 weapon description
irrelevant
nor ds1 nor ds3 state anything like that and Artorias had a greatshield before leaving it with Sif
>>338142317
>lame spank-ass boss fight
>seath rip off
>no real impact to the lore
>memorable
I got fed up with crying babies with Mergo
>you will never fall asleep embraced by a Great One's tentacles
>>338137752
That's nonesense. It's not benevolent or malicious, it merely wants a surrogate child, and was being called by Mergo's cries. It's presence triggers the cursed blood and turns men into beast, but it's just a side effect. Gherman who is currently the surrogate, makes use of being trapped by MP to aid his fellow hunters by providing them a safe haven, and he has you kill Mergo because he's just doing his job. Either by taking his place or killing MP you are freeing him of his incarceration.
>>338142481
like it or not, Das2 is canon
nothing in Das3 retcons anything in Das2
artorias held the shield in his right hand
>>338142481
>Artorias had a greatshield before leaving it with Sif
And he MOST definitely could not have that in his right hand.
>>338142514
>no real impact to the lore
he's actually one of the main reasons world is so fucked up but keep posting irrelevant greentext
>>338142374
If you want to get technical it says everyone who INHERITED the sword was left handed, not the original owner. Theres also the small detail of whether it's even the same sword seeing as how Drangleic and Lordran are nowhere near each other. When you fight him his left arm is clearly broken due to protecting Sif with his shield arm (left) in the abyss.
