Dark Souls I is my favorite game of all time and Dark Souls II was a tremendous deception for me. Should-I buy Dark Souls III ?
>>343676265
Dark Souls 3 was some of the most fun I've had in the souls series, but it didn't last as long as DS1.
I'd honestly say each individual area is better than in the other games, the combat is fun, some of the weapons are cool, but its too linear. You can play through DS1 in a million different ways using a million different builds. That won't happen in DS3. Its like BB in that once you've beaten it once or twice you might as well just put it away.
Also you missed out on the pvp rush which was great. I'm not sure alive it is currently, but spanking gankers with the Dragonslayer Greataxe was the best feeling possible in a souls game.
>>343676265
Someone came on a bird?
DS3 is a lot better than DS2, even if it's like, half as long.
If you were actually, seriously disappointed by Dark Souls II and its myriad improvements to the series you won't be able to take how much of a disappointment 3 is with its copypasted lore, characters, and entire lack of anything original
DS3 is a million times better than DS2.

What's actually wrong with DS2? Just finished it for the first time and found it very fun.
>>343677268
DS2 is a broken pile of rehashed dog shit.
DaS3 is better, but I enjoyed all the DaS games and replay them every once in a while, DaS2 including.
Bite me nerds.
>>343677445
It lacked DS1's interconnected world. I disliked most of the enemies in it.
I don't own it however.
My friend's who loves the soul series like his own child main complaint is that it feels "floaty".
>>343676796
>Dark Souls 3 was some of the most fun I've had in the souls series, but it didn't last as long as DS1.
this is seriously the say way I'd describe.
The game is fucking awesome, but it just didn't last as long. You should definitely get it OP. There's like 2 or 3 DLCs planned too.
Fuck DaS2.

What's wrong with jizzing on birds? Pornstars do it all the time. Considering most birds learn sex from pornos it's pretty common.

I can't dodge: The post
Nothing was wrong with ADP
>Rehashed DS1 bosses
So just edgestein? Gargoyles play nothing like DaS Gargs.
>LOL Death Counter = Artificial Difficulty out the ass.
Death Counter did nothing to the gameplay, it was just a neat feature
>Broken hit boxes.
No more broken than any other game
>Magnetic/Vacuum enemy grab attacks.
This happens in everygame. If you get hit by a grab you get pulled in. Regardless of DaS1 Ornstein grab, DaS2 ogre grab, or DaS3 mimic grab
>All enemies have Turret Tracking
They didn't want you to backstab everything like in DaS1/3
>Crystal Lizards are even more extremely tedious to kill.
What? They're the exact same. Run away when they see you.
>etc....
Yeah no
You're just another "I hate Dark Souls 2 because /v/ told me to" retard who can't form their own opinions and spouts complete and utter bullshit.
>>343677787
Ds3 is mostly connected, but it's basically a straight line with a few branches with dead ends geographically. Warping from the start remains unfortunately, but you never actually have to unless you want to go back to the hub, which once again must be done to level up.
The game is fantastic but you will probably have some gripes, the quality is more consistent than that of ds1 however and the armor sets are top notch. Thinking of doing a pure Lothric Knight playthrough with all of their gear.
>>343678442
that can't be right, show me a pornstar who jizzes on birds
>>343678142
But who were Old Knights at Heide's Tower of Flame?
Also Bloodborne perfected the Backstab, and Ebrietas was the only boss with DS2 level Turret Tracking and it made it a shitty boss fight because of it.
>>343678247
Yes
It was
>guaranteed guard break unlike that garbage and ineffective DaS1 kick that might drain 3% of your stamina
>speeds up the next input, allowing for combos that don't normally work like the full Ricard's Rapier r2
>Can be freely aimed in every direction and you can turn while doing it
>Cannot be poised through or hyper armored through like DaS3's kick
>>343677396
>it's just not right
That's why they do it. You have to remember that these people aren't all there in the head and if this was 60 years ago they would be locked up with other loonies never to be seen again.
Did they fix the lag stabs in DS3?
>>343678247
Yes is was, the kick is fucking clunky garbage
>>343676265
why did someone squirt lotion on that bird?
>>343676265
Has someone Jizzed on a Sparrow?
>>343677396
I don't know about you, cumming on tits seem to be a pretty common kink.
>>343678550
and you love DS2 because everyone else hates it.
Hipster phaggot. Go blow some vape clouds with your ICP sex buddies.
>>343676265
Dark Souls 3 is the worst souls game to date.
>>343678710
you can't even backstab someone healing and slowly walking away so yes
the problem with that is that you can't even backstab someone healing and slowly walking away
das3 healing is a nightmare and even worse than bloodborne's
>>343678907
>not DeS
Shiggy
>>343678850
>>343678648
So instead of kicking someone or an enemy off a cliff, you take a BIG step forward and walk off the cliff instead.
Yep, huge improvement. Couldn't agree more.
>>343678570
>Ds3 is mostly connected, but it's basically a straight line with a few branches with dead ends geographically.
It's connected in such a weird way though, it wouldn't have made much difference if it wasn't connected at all.
Like, the stuff in Lothric Castle make sense, so does the bridge and the Undead Settlement. But then you get to weird shit like the mausoleum of Farron's Legion is directly connected to the catacombs of a different kingdom which is directly connected to... Anor Londo? What? Considering Aldrich had to come out of the Cathedral of the Deep and go to that place, where did he go through? And then you try to think about how people used to live in these areas (especially something like the Profaned Capital) and it makes even less sense.
>>343679180
>implying you kick for that
You used Force or Wrath or Firestorm or Gravelord Greatsword which are all far more effective, knockback, and get multiple people
>>343679180
You're retarded
>>343679474
Only tards fall of those tactics, no one sees the kick coming.
Also when you invade someone who is afk you can kick push them around the map.
>>343679950
Yeah sure no one EVER expects you to kick when you obviously pull them to a cliff
With WoTG you could ambush people and send them flying off around corners and shit, try that with a kick faglord
>Also when you invade someone who is afk you can kick push them around the map.
So? You can do the same thing with guard breaking. You can also use corrosive urns, acid surge, or even just dual broken daggers to shatter all of their gear and rings.
Fuck outta here.

DaS3 is literally DaS1: Rebooted, Now With Horrible Features. DaS2 is different in several bad ways and some good ways.
>>343679042
Bloodborne had the best healing, almost instant but could be punished with a bullet and left you prone to a visceral attack.
Ds3 is fine but a similar function would be great.
Playing DS1 now. How the fuck does "summon sign stone" work? I keep leaving the thing and no one summons me. Am I doing it wrong?
>>343680669
DaS1 doesn't have many players right now, my friend. Also, the multiplayer is notoriously buggy in PC. Get the connectivity fix to make sure you have nodes, and you'll probably have more luck.
Sorry m8 DS1 was flash in the pan magic that will never be recreated - and even half of that game was pretty shitty design.
If people shit on DS2 for trying and failing, shit on DS3 for doing nothing. In fact, they removed a lot of good shit that DS1 and DS2 had (blue eye orbs, sin doing something, invaders being remotely threatening).
Expect even more fan fiction tier area/lore throwbacks and no effort to improve the 1 note NPCs that plague the series.
As always, nothing is really explained in the "hurr endless cycle" plot and I doubt it ever will be because the devs sure as shit don't have the answer.
Oh, and now there's a ton of BB Lovecraft shit now because Memezaki is 100% done with Souls and has moved onto "le eldritch beings, I don't have to explain shit" which I think we can all agree is where he's happier.
Boss design is gimmick paradise, it seems the biggest DS2 complaint they took to heart was "fuck le big armor doods" so don't expect many straight up 1 v 1s.
Hey, remember Storm King? DS3 devs sure did, so they ruined one of the more significant bosses with an absolutely worthless weapon that doesn't even work on any of the other giants. Also instead of a breathtakingly epic vista enjoy a dark, dull cage match vs anus face.
Mob design is basically reused BB assets without the core mechanics to compensate. To combat LOUD SCREECH SPAZ BLITZ sipping is way faster, making it essentially impossible to punish in PVP and chugging that much more obnoxious.
Also yada yada yada as a Souls game it's better than most shit out there blah blah judging from the last two I'm sure the DLCs will probably be the best parts of the game.
>>343680939
I've been invaded before. Does that mean my connectivity is good?
>>343681128
Not necessarily, though it's a good sign. Just download the mod.

Yhorm has a face. The anus is his hood. You can see his face.
>>343676796
good post
I fucking hope the DLC areas don't suffer from the same mistakes of linearity and the abundance of bonfires, we need barrel mimics and pic related
>>343679448
I think someone explained it being that way because Space is warped, or some shit and the lands of the Lords were converging onto Lothric or some shit, and time was warped or some shit since Archdragon Peak was outside of the black sun but yeah it's still jarring
So much underage in this thread.
>>343680594
Underrated post.
Only think I'd change is that DS1 and DS2 PvE are pretty even......with the exception of the lack of Poise.
>>343681853
DS2's pve is garbage, the world design jumped offa cliff into retarded "DUDE PICK BETWEEN THE EASY PATH OR DE GOOD PATH"
>>343681608
Why is an adult wasting his time here when he should be raising a family and focusing on a career?
>>343681967
Sorry, mistake.
I meant that DS1 and DS3 were pretty even when it comes to PvE.
>>343681967
Enjoy your R1 spam weapons that have no depth.In fact, enjoy your trite rehash of a game that was buggy and imperfect in its own regard, because it's fanbase was too afraid of change.

>DS1:
Starts great, great story/lore, characters, bosses, etc..... PvP is total dogshit. Amazingly connected world, though game feels rushed and unfinished near the end. Best DLC for a game ever.
>DS2:
PvE made unfair in an attempt to showcase/live up to the difficulty claims of DS1. Great PvP if Soul Memory wasn't a think. Disconnected world. DLC was more of the same and felt tedious.
>DS3:
PvE that rivals DS1 but with some enemy and area rehashing from Bloodborne. Weapon Level Match Matching is stupid as fuck. PvP is nothing but Gank Squads and Chug-a-thons. World appears connected but is actually linear. NO POISE!!!!!!!
>>343683984
Anything DS2 related being better than Bloodborne is highly laughable.

But anon, it's the new meme to hate 3, not 2.
>>343684490
t. hasn't played base bb: the post
>>343676265
Yes.
Dark Souls 3 is better than Dark Souls 2. Overall Dark Souls 3 is harder than the fist game but designed in a batter way that it doesn't have the bullshit in Dark Souls 2 (or SotFS)
>>343684381
Ds2 barely has poise, you can tank one katana hit in full havels before getting stunned
>>343684660
I don't play games until the bugs are fixed, I'm not some idiot who pays money to be a beta tester.
>>343685036
that's why you're supposed to use heavy weapons and heavy armor together, as heavy weapons double your poise while swinging
you know
as it should be
fucking dex babbies thinking they should get DaS1 level poise while also using a katana
>>343677979
Why do people post stupid shit like this? DaS2 has what, two bosses from DaS1? Belfry Gargs and Dragonslayer? It reuses bosses, yet has the most in the series anyway so it doesn't matter.
>Turret Tracking
So we have another shitter that can't time his rolls and wants to blame the game.
>Crystal lizards

Full-blown retard confirmed.
>>343684381
>DaS2 was unfair.
How bad is /v/ at this game? Jesus fuck. I went into it expecting some ridiculous difficulty and ended up only dying a lot in the first hour or so.
The only thing unfair about DaS2 is that the palyer has a ton of fucking advantages and the enemies do the same predictable shit they do in every entry in the series.
>Dark Souls is my favourite game of all time
You fucking loser
I personally liked DaS2 far more than 3.
Yeah, it looks ugly.
Without a doubt, it lacks polish
Indeed, soul memory was a poorly implemented idea
Agreed, the bosses were lame
But it felt really fresh because it wanted to be its own thing. It introduced improvements and new elements to the series, it had areas full of bullshit dangers and ambushes, you could even skip entire parts if you engaged in enough co-op, and the DLC levels were some of the best in the entire trilogy.
DaS3 looks really pretty and it's polished, but it's exactly the same game as DaS1, down to the same mechanics (humanity / embers being the biggest offender) and having Gwyn as the final boss again (I would have loved the second phase to be the Souls of Cinder combining skills from all the possible builds instead of the "class changing" thing, but nooo it had to be Gwyn again). I bet the DaS3 DLC is going to be Oolacite all over again.
I'm going to be honest; I would prefer having Bloodborne on PC over DaS3.
>>343690321
Why not? Dark Souls is a pretty fantastic game.
