5TH FUCKING GAME IN 5 YEARS
AND THEY STILL CAN'T GET FUCKING HITBOXES RIGHT
FUCKING 2016
I'm officially mad.
Hitboxes are great, try not being shit.
>>338359382
Except they actually did. Nice thread falseflagger
>five games
>five years
>dead enemies are still weightless and get tangled in between your legs as you run past
>>338359671
>that tracking
lmao
>>338359756
What are you talking about? He doesn't spin around in the spot, his attacks are just wide enough to hit behind him. This is really low-quality bait.
>>338359382
>facing heavy weapons
>dodge the swing and strike with fast weapon : too slow, he dodges
>stay right next to his swing so i can immediately counter attack : get caught in 360 phantom range for two hits
>stay a little further and charge up my arbalet : get caught in shockwave
>stay even further : takes a 100 damages, shrugs it off and takes a sippy once every 5 minutes
>>338359742
>hating on ragdolls
neo-/v/ right here
i need to know, /v/. i've been playing through dsII before delving into three and my armor is apparently fucking magnetic because these trash-mob dickmunches can't seem to miss me and act on a rotating pivot perpetually. does this still hold true in 3, and if so, can i atleast roll through?
>>338359889
Ragdolls are fine when they're implemented correctly which is not the case in From games.
>>338359756
retard
>>338359919
Tracking isn't as retarded as 2, and you can roll through everything in 3.
>>338359671
fuckin' slick as butter
>>338359828
look at the second attack
it clearly was facing the other direction and does a 180 degrees torn to face you.
>>338360506
And? People complained about 'tracking' in 2 because enemies rotated on the spot without even a turning animation
If every enemy took an hour to turn around then you fucks would complain it's too easy.
He's a fucking boss, why wouldn't he be quick to smack you when you're circling his ass?
>>338359671
I think there's another one of these webms of someone using the jump attack weapon art to jump a swipe
>>338359919
nah rolling is pretty strong.
Haven't seen an enemy do a 180 mid attack like in DaS2
>>338359382
There is literally nothing wrong with the hitboxes in all the games.
Dark Souls haters know there is nothing they can say about the game to make it look bad, so they create buzzwords like artificial difficulty to make the game look bad.
>>338360882

>>338360801
I'm sure. You can also do the meditation pose to avoid almost all of pontiff suly's attacks, because his swings are too high.
>>338360729
i'm not even this guy >>338359756
i was just pointing out that he was actually right, and >>338359828 (probably you) was wrong.
as always, as soon as someone even only implies something about ds3 is bad people go apeshit.
>>338360882
>>338361003
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>338361073
Because he's wrong? What exactly is wrong with an enemy trying to hit you when you're behind them?
>>338361143
this is and will forever fucking trigger me. i died one too many fucking times to this stupid bull shit. fuck dark souls 2.
>>338361297
God Dark Souls 2 was garbage
Dark souls 2 was full of shitboxes....Dark souls 1 and 3 however feel much more polished:

>>338361148
no, you're missing the point
he said
>his attacks are just wide enough to hit behind him
but that's not true, as one of the attacks is clearly an overhead and his hitbox is pretty narrow. yet the boss does a 180 turn to face the player.
i'm not saying it is wrong or right, i'm just pointing it out.
>>338361373
'this game is awful for making me have to PUT LEVELS into my complete invincibility mobility tool!! they'll split endurance into stamina and equip load next!!!'
>>338361003
I bet the guy on webm was mad as fuck than this happened.
So what did you guys think of the Piccolo boss fight? I thought he was cool, but his special beam cannon was such a broken attack.
>>338361529
"This game is amazing for making enemy attacks hit me a meter away from my character model! Next they'll make every enemy pivot on roller skates! I can't wait for that new and innovative mechanic!"
>>338361529
nah, more like
>this game REQUIRES me to put levels into stats I shouldn't need, so the game doesnt have absolute garbage hitboxes - and even then, they're broken bullshit.

Yeah, it killed my brother.
>>338361764
stats you shouldnt need? do you not use rolls? they're imba as fuck, git gud and parry hard.
I could deal with terrible hitboxes, but did they really have to make the game control so badly?
>>338361843
Why should I need to level up a core gameplay mechanic?
Defend this.

>>338361916
I never had a problem with that, does being able to walk at precisely 22° really add much to the game?
>>338361916
I noticed that too and grabbed the fix. It was fine in vanilla DSII, how did they fuck it up so badly?
>>338361945
i have no defense for shitty hitboxes. they are shit.
holding your weapons, though, is also a core gameplay mechanic, and boy do you have to level up 1-4 stats to do so.
you become more proficient at blocking damage with your shields when you level endurance/vitality, and to wield better absorption shields, strength/dex. why should rolling be given a free pass when it makes you take NO damage, not a reduced amount like blocking, while also giving you crazy mobility?
most shields will also receive more stamina penalty for blocking hits than rolling does for avoiding them.
this isn't bloodborne after all, shields are a core gameplay mechanic. why should i spend levels to use shields, anyway? let me pick up havel's from lvl 1 next time from.
>>338362124
>does moving in more than 4 directions add much to the game
This is a 3D game, so yes, it does.
>>338362137
>It was fine in vanilla DSII
It was like that from the initial release
>>338362187
No, the deadzones weren't that bad. I've played both and it was only as bad in SOTFS.
>>338362238
I can guarantee you that the deadzones are the same in every version of the game. It appears they intended it to be that bad.
>>338362307
Maybe it just isn't that big a deal in practice.
>>338359671
>using the anime meme weapon
>>338362149
Theres a difference between using weapons and simply being able to roll properly
Dodging is such a vital part of these games that tying a stat to them and STILL making the hitboxes total garbage is a sign of why Dark Souls 2 shit.
Not to mention movement dead zones.
>>338362735
it isn't dodging that's vital, it's damage mitigation. rolling, blocking, parrying, or simply playing smartly to avoid being hit at all. i truly don't see why rolling should be given unlimited power when blocking especially is comparatively weak.
parrying is questionable; it takes some actual skill to land consequent parries, though it also doesn't give you a great change in your position, and is extremely obvious when it will be performed in PVP -- while plenty of moves are also unparryable.
honestly you can call almost anything in the game a 'vital part of these games', like damage, or even item discovery (which has so conveniently just been tied to a stat), and ask 'but why should i have to level it to use it?' -- because it's a part of the game, and i absolutely agree that levelling rolls is balanced.
i also believe that if they'd kept ADP in DS3 there would be FAR fewer complaints because of how accurate most hitboxes are, and how few shockwaves i noticed while playing.
>>338359671
He's dodging, tho
I'm not saying the hitboxes are bad or good, but for those first two he could have not been hit thanks to the i-frames rather than a precise hitbox.
>>338360801
its someone using the farron wolf stance r2 against the dancer, dont have it saved though
>5 games
>no practice/time trial mode
>>338363962
take a look at the last few seconds again anon.
>ds1 ran like shit and never played more than a few hours
>ds2 was a step down but still good stuff
>bb was piss poor exclusive
>ds3 is ds1.5
Pretty neat to experience some of the stuff I missed in ds1.
>>338364714
>>bb was piss poor exclusive
Not that this thread was all that great in the first place, but thanks for ruining it anyway
>>338359382
>5th game
>Covenants matchmaking depends on how old your account is
How is this even a thing?
>>338359382
Hit boxes are pretty good.
>>338364940
some enemies have great hitboxes. Some enemies have shit hitboxes. That's how it's always been in Souls. For every Dragonslayer Armour there's one of those hand ogre fucks with shit hitboxes
>>338359382
5th game?
Bloodborne was the 4th game and hitboxes were perfect
>>338364832
it's not about how old it is holy shit why are people still spouting this fucking nonsense
>>338364714
>ds1 ran like shit
>ds2 rans perfectly on anything, grandma could play it on her asus laptop
>ds3 runs like complete ass
I am seriously amazed at how unoptimized ds3 is. Any word on a ds3fix or something?
>>338365075
Stop trying to run everything on ultra, you madman.
>>338365070
because half the covenants aren't working as intended.
>>338365075
Having a not terribad pc?
Never had any performance on my end
