Will Dark Souls 3 be the spookiest game in the series?
>>322304972
eh
that's cute
Seeing that Bloodborne had a lot of lovecraftian themes and twisted monstrous enemies, do you think they'll go the alternate route and make a lot of sterile hyper geometric enemies in the next game? I know a lot of different Japanese series have interpreted godly or mythical subjects through a technological aesthetic. Possibly something like El Shaddai or the Celestial Arc from Okami?
After Bloodborne, I'm much more eager to see From tackle new worlds and themes instead of returning to dark souls.
After Bloodborne, I think a lot of people will find it to be a massive disappointment. Combat will be much slower without that dodging
>>322306601
I agree! It just won't feel right not being exclusive to the PS4.
I can't believe I'm not excited for a Souls game. 2 and Bloodbourne have pretty much quenched my thirst for the series, I haven't looked up anything on 3.
>>322306601
Bloodborne was a lot more linear in terms of potential builds. A lot of styles were out and the stats were more streamlined.
I wish they could restore the diversity but keep the speed.
>can't wear a full suit of armor because it will slow me down
>my weapons alone prevent me from being the fastest movement speed
>Havel's Ring can solve all my problems but I'd rather us something better like the Wolf Ring
>trying to find an outfit that looks decent while getting the most defense possible without bumping up to a heavy equip load
I both hate and love this game.

It's fast. Not AS fast, but faster than DaS games so far.
Also, item variety has been emphasized at least once, so no worry about that end of customization. No word on the stats as far as I know, but I would imagine they'll get it back in line with previous titles.

Spend rest of the playthrough fast rolling in ridiculasly heavy stuff, using black gold hemmed robes in other slots. Stone Helm and Gloves, robe body and feet carried me through most of the playthrough.

Keep the Havel ring, the glow effect on wolf ring looks like crap. Fashion >>> poise
I'm having trouble immersing in Dark Souls 2. It's fun enough but I just beat the lost sinner and it feels like I'm not getting anywhere despite being level 80.
>>322306576
Yami was the coolest shit from Okami.
If something with that technological feeling made it into Dark Souls, and it was done well, I'd be really happy.
how to fix dark souls
>weapons do not grant equip burden

There
no more ninja flipping havels and shit
Building heavy weapons guy is actually viable and not gimped

It was terrible but holy shit is the trope of people with children getting remarried going to become a thing? Will Ferrel actually plays a cuck in his newest movie.
>>322310103
I don't think you know what a cuck is.

Havel's ring will get you far more poise in the end than the wolf ring.
Also consider a lighter shield.
>>322309778
thats Ni-oh
>>322310950
This looks great. I'm going to be mad if it turns out to be a shitty QTE fest like MGR
>>322309778
onimusha
any of those japanese horror games From made with souls magic shit
But I agree I would like to see a modern souls game set in feudal Japan. Japanese mythology and monsters are fucking cool as hell.
Just think of the weapons too.
>more fleshed out katana choice, with varying styles
>other Japanese swords included as well
>Naginatas
>kusari-gama

>matchlock rifles like the tanegashima
>big oni clubs
>>322310950

And now my dick is a stone slab too
>>322311579
Team Ninja doesn't do QTEs
Combat that boils down to a single combo? Yeah, that's modern Team Ninja. But they at least don't do QTEs.
>>322311918
Awesome, that's good to hear
>>322311918
>Team Ninja doesn't do QTEs
Ninja Gaiden 3
And just because Razor's Edge removed the onscreen button prompts doesn't mean they weren't still QTEs
>tfw no futuristic dystopian cyberpunk souls game
>no lightsabers and high frequency weapons
>no grotesque robots
>no giant sentient AI structures
>no ayyyyyyliens as the tweest
>no downloading into people's minds to retrieve information while fighting through their waking nightmare
Bloodborne showed Miyazaki is not afraid of shying away from the dark fantasy style the souls series has mainly been.
>>322309108
You just level up way, way faster in that game because it's so necessary to put points into defensive stats.
>>322312292
Yeah but bloodborne was dark fantasy with lots of shit blatantly inspired by HP Lovecraft, sci fi is the opposite direction even if it's equally dark and grim.
>>322312292
Maybe next game.
>>322310384
I bet you would from experience ;)
>>322306840
This dark souls 3 will be utter shit since it's not A ps4 exclusive
DON'T FORGET TO POST ABOUT HOW SHIT IS IT PRIOR TO RELEASE AND SAY BLOODBORNE IS THE BEST

>>322313025
He's right. I'm pretty sure I read in an interview that FROM intends to wrap up the series with this game. Bloodborne, however, will be continuing.
>>322313025
The director and head of FROM said it himself.
It's not like Kojima where he said he wants to stop, he flat out said he is not doing Dark Souls anymore and I tend to think Jap devs stick to stuff like that.
>>322313165
>bloodborne will be continuing
Will we just continue bumming around on the mortal plane or take the fight to the cosmos and ascend? Because if the former I can't see the lore going anywhere else interesting.
>>322313165
>>322313253
I don't care what he said. They will make more Souls games. At most they will take a longer break between releases.
>>322313165
>>322313148
I cannot wait for this shit to come out.
>>322308854
>BKW
Might as well tell him to go drake sword or lightning spear
>>322313148
And touching the game's equivalent of bloodstains, you can summon an AI-controlled avatar of them to fight and potentially claim a piece of their equipment they were wearing.

>>322313321
It's possible. The only other direction I could see it going in is probably from the ending whereyou defeat the moon presence and become an infant great one.that way, the cycle of the hunt and the nightmare being permanently removed could be the aim of the next game.

Nothing wrong with either weapon. They're there as ass-patches if your character is not doing well against new enemies.
>>322313953
>>322314202
I hope I can be a cute girl
>>322314275
Nope
>>322314275
It has a pre-defined main character.
You can only customize his equipment.
>>322314348
Preorder canceled
>>322313953
>>322314202
>>322310950
so japan is finally making a souls game
>>322314275
No, it's more overtly plot-ish than Souls, so you're only playing as not-William Adams. The game is (or was, in its original incarnation) based on a half-finished Kurosawa script from the 80s that his son finished.
>>322313253
They also said Dark Souls 2 wouldn't have DLC. From Software is owned by some other company, they don't actually get to make calls like that.
>>322304972
Will Dark Souls 3 feature another case of blatantly misrepresenting and lying about the final product?
>>322314527
They threw away it being based off the movie, as should be obvious as it's now about monsters and shit. Maybe they threw the MC away too. Who knows, we have too little information on it.
I doubt it considering BB had such a strong horror direction. It definitely looks spoopier than DS1, but less spoopy than BB.
Anyways what are the general opinions on it so far? I think it looks ok, I haven't been impressed yet. But Miyazaki (not sure if that's spelled right, dont care) is heading it so I find it hard to imagine it will be bad
>>322314840
I hope not. But I'll hold off on my purchase until I'm sure
>>322309778
thank fucking god

>tfw still have no idea what the fuck Killer is Dead is about
>>322314859
Nah, the original version of the game from a decade ago was a SRPG, but still had William with his current look (Which is funny, since people are calling him a Geralt knockoff) and demons; the film was tentatively called Oni and featured heavy elements of Japanese occultism and mythology.
Namco Bandai has a contract of 3 Dark Souls game. No choice but to make 3 games on the same settings and theme.
Where is my relevant armor, you red button whale fuckers? Where is my stat-scaling for defensive equipment? This is like twelfth game with exactly the same formula, fix it already.
