This game is unpolished, clunky, and total shit.

The first 20 minutes are fun, then after that it's just getting raped by skeletons.

Most overrated series I have ever played. These games are also unpolished and clunky shit. Not to mention full of non gameplay. MGS3 seems to have some of the worst framerate issues I have ever seen in a game. It reminded me of when I foolishly bought Skyrim on PS3. Never again.

no, this game was amazingly received by all (/v/ included).

I know you're baiting, but if you do want to go down the skeleton route, go down human and summon Leeroy to help you kill the Pinwheel, which will grant you the Rite of Kindling, allowing you to kindle bonfires beyond their standard limit, for a total of 20 Estus uses..

or the retarded programmers could pull there head out of their ass and not design it that way. Do you know it's an infinite loop if you attack the guy at the first bonfire, you just spawn and he keeps killing you no matter what. you have to parry him like 40 times to kill him. if you set your controller down and walked away it was just be an endless sequence of spawning and getting killed. it's retarded.

>>283874784
Not the person you replied to, but I once put the controller down and the surface pressed the slash button and I happen to be facing Solair when this happened in Anor Londo. Meaning I had to run the second I spawned again to avoid getting hit and then fight Ornstein and Pough again. Stopped playing since then.

>>283875378
there is no other game in the world that does this to my knowledge. what is the point of them remaining hostile to you and you not getting another chance. and all you faggots can say is "WELL U SHOULND THAVE ATTACKED HIM THEN! >:(". no. the game simply shouldn't have the mechanic because it is retarded. its all well and good if you like the game but you shouldn't defend every fucking thing about it even its mistakes. the game is not perfect by any means.

Multiplayer. If you really need a break, just quit and reload.

>non-hostile npcs remain hostile to you if you hit them even after they kill you and you respawn
Game actually punishes you for being an idiot. Anyways, there is a way to make them non-hostile again.

>muh artificial difficulty
There's no artificial difficulty. You can take every boss and minion down quickly after figuring out the tactics.

>retarded menus and UI
Some are pretty good but yeah, mostly retarded.

>enemies can still hit you through mist doors
Yep, sometimes hitboxes fail. Now you've learned it and can avoid being hit in the future.

That's great that you can do that and all, but accidents can happen, and it just alienates the player for just putting the controller down and they start attacking and having to go out of your way to fix it. If it went away after a certain amount of deaths, it could of been a punishment, but also a fix around for accidents.

that sounds retarded, it would be much simpler to just have a hit requirement, so if they get hit twice or more then they will just get mad at you, so stupid shit like bad PS3 triggers making you kill solaire wouldn't happen.
I'm pretty sure that is already in place actually but it works with damage instead.

You have to do 10% or more damage to the npc's entire health bar before they will aggro you.
So unless you are mid game with a +5 or higher weapon with scaling, you aren't going to aggro them in one hit. Especially at the very beginning of the game

>>283878683
He was the pet/companion of one of the key knights in the lore (Artorias). Artorias essentially died defending Sif. Sif grows up, and basically just sits at Artorias's grave "defending" it. When the Chosen Undead shows up, they fite. He uses Artorias's sword (albeit much larger). Sure it's not "logical" but what the fuck dude it's a god damn fantasy game if you can accept dragons you can accept a giant wolf.

To me most of appeal of the Souls games just comes from exploring and taking in the different levels. Dark Souls has some great areas like Sen's and the painting. On the other hand it has some seriously awful areas like slideshowtown and pic related. Its baffling. I don't play this one anymore.

Yeah the crestfallen guy told me to go up and down to find bells and then I spent the next hour and a half trying to get to the crypt with the skeletons and then another two hours getting killed by ghosts in new londo.

the stairs are completely hidden and nobody can be expected to find the path to the burg unless they're some kind of autist with a sixth sense.

It's just plain terrible level design.

Take a look at this poster here: >>283881146
>going through the graveyard ASAP
and then lists things that result from going through the "graveyard": >>283881828
>rite of kindling and a family mask

do you get it yet or do I have to draw a picture?

i guess this can be considered a dark souls thread.

I just killed wolf with sword, and have been exploring every place i could find.

Went trough the catacombs and the giants tomb, it was blocked.

Passed trough Sen fortress and into Anor Londo, and it was blocked.

I feel like a scrub for asking, but where the fuck should i go.

Balder sword is fine. +15 will get you some better scaling to.
Also if you're doing dex+int I assume you're using magic, so the run is gonna be ez no matter what you do.
>>
>>283887073
Where you kill the gargoyle there's a ledge that leads up to another building, its on your left after the elevator. Shit's hard to spot.

>>283887073
There's a fucking elevator right in front of the entrance of the bonfire, at the end of the big ass balcony.

I played pic related when it first came out, but remembered nothing about it. I just remembered that my dad, whose all-time favorite game is Privateer, fucking hated it. I later saw it on a /v/ patriciancore chart, so I downloaded it.

He was right. Piss-easy combat, a tiny universe, and over-simplified mechanics plague this game

Funny considering the games not hard because of any real challenge but because of bad controls. Being good at bad controls doesn't make them good, it just means you're good at bad controls. There's adapting and then theres giving excuses for poor design. We all know FROM is fucking lazy as hell too, theyre just giving them straight up excuses.

Honestly what were they thinking with lost izaleth. It would have been better if it was completely empty.

The spiral elevator? i went below, found that big gargoyle and kill it.

>>283887293
i guess i should look around that area then

>>283878454
How bout the run speed being a power walk even with no items in a game designed around exploration

How bout the awful quest directons

And the hit thing does persist for a good bit past a few levels got to get like above 50 for half ur hits to land in whatever weapon

If theres a mod to fix the speed please let me know btw cause thats really what pissese off the most

Why is it that ever person ive ever seen on /v/ shit talk this game hasnt even gotten through the first area (which should take all of 5-10 minutes max plus the boss fight) and has no mastery of the game mechanics yet.

It wasn't blocked. Straight ahead of the Anor Londo bonfire, take the lift down. There's a gargoyle you can fight there. Then look left, you can walk on a buttress to the next building.
>>
>>283888432
Hahaha holy shit how but hurt can one person be, when was i even gloating? All i was saying is that it has a slight learning curve even though ita pretty simple and once you get over that hump its a completely different experience then when you just run over and over into some skellingtons without even thinking about what youre doing and then crying about muh artificial difficulty
>>
>>283887073
I'm not sure where you are stuck. Just keep going through anor londo.

>>283887129
Balder sword works. If you are planning on doing pvp later, you are going to need to decide how far you want to level up, and what you want to level up.

If you want my opinion which some may disagree with. The pvp is shit. Don't look forward to it or worry about building for it. And pve is much more enjoyable going full melee, 1/4th weight, with limited shield use.

Let me guess, you just run in button mashing without the slightest thought about whats going on aroud you or what you are doing, does that sound about right? Im beginning to think artificial difficulty is just casual code phrase for "game makes me use my brain even a little bit and i literally cannot handle it"

>>283887315
You know it's difficulty was based on how well you're doing, right?

I loved the shit out of Starlancer and thought Freelancer was amazing. Albeit rushed because of Microsoft.

>>283878254
I don't even understand what they mean by "unpolished and clunky". Is it that they're wearing heavy armor? Are they playing at 30 fps? Did they expect an action rpg.

To be honest, Dark Souls is probably my favorite game, but the first run really has a shit-ton of trial-and-error.

Also jesus christ I fucking hate people who shit on people who get stuck at Capra Demon or O&S.

It's because of Blighttown. It's annoying and ugly and out of the way but once you get past it you have the best part of the game coming up.

I know this is a funposting thread, but my biggest gripe with the game is the level design, by which I mean knowing where you can and can't walk; for example, getting the ring of sacrifice from under the bridge after going up the stairs in Firelink.

If my character "stands" in mid air, but it is still considered a travers-able area it bothers me.

And jumping. Fuck jumping.

jumping isn¿t actually that hard, in das 2 you have to click the fucking left stick.

another thing just in case , when you first encounter the big tutorial boss just run past him and into the doorway
and when you encounter npcs talk to them repeatedly until they start repeating dialogue because they often only say a little bit at a time
>>
>>283898785
Okay, I'll just run my way to the end.

Sorry to be a pest, but does playing in offline mode diminish the experience in any way?
>>
>>283898879
not really for me personally, its all about that atmosphere and adventure and ove that made the game great.,the main con is that you dont get messages from other players which can be helpful. now that i think about it you can probably get away with playing online, you can only be invaded when you reverse hollowing and become human, and chances are you wont spend too much time human n your first playthrough
>>
>>283874415
>The reason it got big is because the gameplay is good, the multiplayer is good, and so many people saying it was good led them to create videos of the game while they say it's good

Isn't that at least a HINT of the game being good?
