Bloodborne is better anyway.
So nothing of value was lost.
>>331246018
thank god this is the last...
godborne 2 when?
They could've spared us from it. But nope they had to pander the memelords.
>>331246018
I don't get what you are butthurt about. So it's no longer acceptable for new games in a series to reference the older ones?
>>331246387
not if they do it as much as dark souls 3
>>331246375
BB2 wouldn't be able to touch BB. We wouldn't get tricked by lovecraftian themes halfway through the game, and expanding on transformation weapons is already hard.
It was good for a single standalone title.
>>331246018
PC should never have got souls games. All the bad shit started with them.
>>331246018
I can't say I really care, all I know is I'll see far more people wearing Havel's in multiplayer.
>>331246580
This, just like Otogi 1 was better than 2. Some games are better left without sequels.
>>331246018
It's the fucking end of the trilogy.
Fuck off.
>>331246387
No anon you dont understand! Refrencing characters that people just so happen to enjoy is PANDERING! Once a character is given a positive reaction he NO LONGER BELONGS TO THE DEVS, he belongs to the autistic fanbase and their self indulging whims.
>>331246810
Fat roll won't really be a problem for most armor sets, so I can definitely see the game not having a Havel's Ring
>>331246953
This
They can start with a new mythos and set of enemies, and new magic.
It's just a piece of armor it's not like solaire is returning
>>331247232
well, considering how many characters have returned so far it's likely that solaire might appear again (or a character with the same personality, goal and armor but a slightly different name)
>>331246018
Won't be buying this shitty game, I will be enjoying the Game of All Time that is Bloodborne.
Dark souls has NOTHING on Bloodborne. Fuck B-team.
>>331246580
If BB2 actually has replay value then it will shit all over the first.
>>331247480
Dark Souls was A Team.
>>331247232
>it's not like solaire is returning
You say this now.. but he could be the last boss.
>>331246018
So tell me OP, how hard did you cry when you found Siegmeyer's armor in DS2?
Oh wait you didn't
>>331247115
>referencing how happy he is
>referencing the "grossly incadescent line"
No fuck off that is a reference to the memery around him and not Solaire the character.
Solaire in the game had two endings. Being depressed or going crazy and getting killed.
>>331247878
It's probably in DS3 as well, there's at least a confirmed Catarina Knight
>>331247671
None of these games have good replay value. Once you know the area or the boss its over. Its why people say after O&S, DaS declines. The areas meant for after them aren't as interesting and the bosses are meh
>>331247878
>Oh wait you didn't
FUCK OFF
>>331247878
both the havel knights and the catarina knights are numerous so it's not that unlikely that you might find their armor
an unique set like solaire's is more retarded
is this supposed to be bad?
Bloodborne defence force going all out, seeing as all discussion about their shitty game will cease in the next week.
How many of you are there a group of coordinated falseflagging delusionals or is it just one sonygger autist samefagging in all threads?
>>331247480
Falseflager go home.
>>331248114
That's only because the areas and bosses after O&S are garbage.
After O&S I usually go to the DLC and PVP.
>>331246018
What's the difference between defense and absorption?
Something to do with mana?
>a sequel isn't allowed to use items from a previous story game
ok?
>>331246018
I don't get what the problem is?

These replies are proof soulfags are genuinely the worst fanbase.
No other fanbase would so vehemently defend pandering.

>>331248656
>>331248717
Oh, no a few armors and npcs are returning in a sequel to a game that means its unplayable and ruined!
I'm not even mad about the low damage on the scimitar weapon art it looks cool as fuck.
>>331248898
>armor sets can't be upgraded anymore
Never did this anyway.
>pyromancies require stats and scale with int/faith like hexes in dark souls 2
I hope this isn't true though.
>>331246018
Is the level design great again ? I only play Souls series for its ambiance and amazing artistic work honestly.
>>331248961
>a few armors and npcs are returning in a sequel to a game that means its unplayable and ruined!

there's more returning items than new items
>>331248656
Flashy shit is fine so long as it looks and feels solid, which that does. DS2 did the same thing and it felt like a crock of shit.

His wife had a miscarriage and that's what pic related is.

>>331248717
It's the last Souls game to ever be made.
How the fuck is it pandering include things from previous games?
Did you fucking cry when EK set was in DaS2?
>>331249279
it means from isn't putting any effort into this game
it's pretty much dark souls 2 2, made by the C team
Surprise, Fromsoftware has just been lifting concepts from previous game since forever.
Before Dark Souls, it was King's Field.
>>331249371

You have to be a complete fucking moron to think this.
>>331249202

nice meme faggot. Next week you'll be playing your preordered copy of the game and praising it with everyone else.
>>331249362
see >>331247934
Literally pandering to meme solaire and not the actual character from the previous game
Oh no but for some reason all other covenants died but the sunbros the. Covenant hold up by one person who died or became irrelevant is the covenant that is still there.
And yeah we need a covenant that makes the game harder. We don't need a good in universe explanation or anything. Dark souls is "le hardest game evar".
Exactly. A death counter makes perfect sense.
You are the worst.
>>331249553
Ignore him. Its just one false flagging faggot. Everyone seen a lot of footage from the game and it looks good. I'm sure we're not getting anything like Das2
>>331247934

You need to chill the fuck out and stop being such a memester.
>>331249738
>Covenant hold up by one person who died or became irrelevant
>by one person
>irrelevant
It seems you don't understand the premise of the game.
>>331250197
Oh come on every other covenant was replaced but the sunbros are still there and you don't see any connection here?
>>331248898
Pyromancy scaled with int and faith in DS2, but in a different way than Hexes.
>>331248898
So all schools of magic are going to be the same again.
I really like how das1 differentiated them with things like pyromancy having to have a flame that you upgrade and different schools having limited amount of spells with not much overlap.
DaS3 is just going to be like Das2 again where everything feels the same.
>>331248898
>armor sets can't be upgraded anymore

![solaire-of-astora[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/oiOq8cg.jpg "solaire-of-astora[1].jpg")
>>331250358
This game's lore is built on fading memories, bullshit time and wonky legends. Logically it makes PERFECT sense for the sunbros to be the one consistency when their catchphrases and mascot are the most recognisable thing in practically every playthrough ever made. Solaire the "meme" is literally the biggest legend in-game, and thus his memory survives the longest.
>>331252626
That only makes sense if all the people who played the game never played it long enough to see solaire's story play out.
>>331248656
>complaining about references to other games made by the same developers

I dont have a ps4 so i pretty much have accepted that i wont play this game at the height of its online. DaS2 was pretty dissapointing, hope this does a little better.

Whatever
Never wore it then, won't wear it now. They just better not forget to make actual new armor
What they really need to return is Dragonslayer Armor and have it be proper, not the fucked up DkS1 version
This has never been a problem before. Why is it now?
Fuck memes and references.

Why are Souls games not allowed to do this?
As long as they don't overdo it it's fine. Although Squidward of Catarina is really pushing it
Listen pcucks, the OP image is fine because it does not feed into the playerbase pandering, just brings back old good armor to wear, dark souls 2 did it all wrong by trying so hard to pander with the descriptions and such.

Ok.
Is there ANOTHER Crestfallen Warrior in the main hub?
>>331256107
Why did they have to split the stats up so much? Is Vigor really necessary? Couldn't we have kept that tied to Endurance? Was Luck worth bringing back from Demon's Souls? At least they dropped Resistance.

Did nobody play Demon's Souls? I'm playing through it for the first time right now and I'm shocked how much Dark Souls lifted.
I mean, wake me up when Dark Souls III basically rips a fucking area design from the first game.
DaS3 is just going to make this board sink to levels of shit that couldn't previously be imagined, won't it?
>>331253696

>wahh a dark souls game has firekeepers
>>331260793
Probs. Dark Souls had a really dedicated fan base (it is the best game ever made imo. That ive played.) Especially if it meets our expectations.
But..
If it exceeds our expectations then /v/ will be the center of celebration, wine, drugs, and estus chugging contests.
But..
If dark souls 3 turns out to be bad...
There will be blood spilled here on /v/, i guarentee it.
>>331260674
I like Solaire because he was the single beacon of cooperation and light in the entire first game.
It also made him a stand out character from the first game.
Personally I'd like to see more about Solaire.
>>331246083
I know this is bait, but do people think like this ?
It has frame rate issues, bland as fuck enemies, non intresting settings and a cavalcade of other issues. I don't get how people think this is the best installment. 1st place is reserved always for demon souls
>>331261343
>If it exceeds our expectations then /v/ will be the center of celebration, wine, drugs, and estus chugging contests.

I'm playing through DeS for the first time right now, and I love it so far, but please don't pretend that it's so much better than a game that is also fucking great.
>>331261535
To be fair, that game was clearly only half finished and it was Kojimbles insane ability at making trailers that got everyone so hyped.
>>331261487
It's not a bug retard, there are legitimate framerate drops in BB.
Loran Darkbeast, First area - both solo and co-op, upper cathedral ward right before the first lamp can dip, forbidden woods has some spots that dip below 30, etc.
Remember, /v/ is a giant hispter. Anything that get remotely popular is automatically bad.
>>331261535
Kojimbo trailers were fucking hype, but this time we got a lot of footage of the first hours of the game and it's looking really fucking good
>>331261407
>It has frame rate issues
Those were patched a long time ago. The only time it has issues is when MP's involved.
>bland as fuck enemies
I disagree.
>non intresting settings
Yeah there could've been more variation, but it was at least consistent.
>and a cavalcade of other issues
Just like every other Souls game.
>>331261837
Yeah, I'm responding to one right now.
And you know what I do with bugs, kiddo? I squash them.
>>331247721
They B team now
>>331261407
But Dark Souls is better than Demon Souls in every possible way. Those are the only ones in the series I've played and it's downright obvious.

It's acceptable, as long as they don't make whole DLCs about it like Bethesda.
>>331262009
I'm playing through Demon's Souls for the first time also and have literally never had performace problems, and I'm playing it on a crappy 10 year old fat PS3. Just accept that Bloodborne was poorly optimized.

>>331259780
>constant bitching about how DaS2 dares to reference the game it's a sequel to
See, it's funny.
Dark Souls 2 had Catarina ARMOR as fanservice and the DaS2 haters have bitched non-stop about that being included as mindless fanservice since the release of that game in March 2014.
Dark Souls 3 has a Siegmeyer CLONE as fanservice and nobody is angry. In fact, the reaction is the oppposite. People are loving it.
Imagine if Dark Souls 2 had a Siegmeyer clone as fanservice. Imagine if Siegward was in Dark Souls 2 instead of Dark Souls 3. People would hate him.
Did anyone here criticize the fact that Andre was airlifted from Dark Souls 1 to Dark Souls 3? Nope. All the "fanservice" critics who blasted Dark Souls 2 for fanservice weapons/armor are silent.
Dark Souls 3 has more fanservice in its first three hours than Dark Souls 2 had in its entirety. Yet, the critics are silent.

Anon, are you trying to tell me that because YOU didn't notice any issues, that I also didn't notice any issues and must be lying? I accept that Bloodborne is poorly optimized. It drops frames (although I personally haven't had any trouble with that), but it's time for you to accept that Demon's Souls isn't perfectly optimized either. Seriously, let one of those magic-casting fat guys blow up some barrels and watch the framerate drop.
>>331263923
I'm guessing it's the amount of damage that armor will block
>>331263294
For my first character, I'm going to level everything up without a single care for autistic minmaxing, because I'm not an autistic minmaxer.
I want to level everything up because I want to be able to equip and use and attune anything I find without delaying it to a second or third playthrough.
>>331264147
And you already enjoy dying in dumb ways.
>>331263589
I didn't mind the Catarina armour, but my issue with how DaS2 handles the fanservice is how it tried to be all mysterious about some of it while still sounding like we should already know what it's talking about. I guess that's better than just shoving references down the player's throat but it comes off as weird IMO.
>>331246083
Bloodborne is not even close to being better than the Souls games.
Maybe it is better than DaS2, but that's about it.
>>331264357
DeS is unbalanced as hell and DaS is half finished. Bloodborne is the best game by far.
>>331264356
>how it tried to be all mysterious about some of it while still sounding like we should already know what it's talking about.
It's no different in Dark Souls 3. Look at OP's picture.
>>331264909
I can't name too many examples off the top of my head, but the description of Havel's set is a good example of what I mean.
>The origin of the name Havel is not clear.
Some say it was the warrior who wore the armor,
but others say it was the name of a great
kingdom ruined in a barbaric war.
At least the one in the OP references the fact that he was a Warrior of Sunlight.
>>331264646
Bloodborne is also unbalanced and half finished.
At least Demons and Dark had relayability.
My fan theory: you play as a lord (being of the light soul like Gwyn or Artorias) and not a human (being of the dark soul). That's why you're unkindled and not undead.
>>331265545
bait
>>331265728
Everything after Forbidden Forest was half assed.
>>331261343
Oh, to be young and foolish again.
The shitposting has already been rampant, and at its release it'll spread to the entire board. It has nothing to do with quality. If you shitpost about Soulsborne, you'll get your (you)s. It's that simple.
>>331246018
>anything i don't like is a meme
>>331265831
excellent bait
>>331265396
>At least the one in the OP references the fact that he was a Warrior of Sunlight.
Yeah, it doesn't mention that it's Solaire's, even though we all know it's clearly Solaire's. It's still being mysterious even though it doesn't need to be.
Similarly, look at the bottom of pic related
>guardians of an ancient city
It's also being obscure, even though we clearly know that the Knight Slayer's Ring is a renamed Ivory Warrior Ring from the ancient city of Eleum Loyce.
Was it ever really explained what the whole Knight of Sunlight thing was? Was it just Solaire? What did they even want? Were they lawful good heroes of justice like Solaire implies in the one instance he talks about the covenant?
>>331262519
Every time I used a dash attack with my wheel on the defiled watchdog my fps dropped to like 5. Bloodborne does have issues with frame drops. That being said I like all of the souls series fairly equally (except maybe 2).
>>331246018

The only things in the whole game that felt half assed were Mergo's Wet Nurse and the Chalice Dungeons.
>>331246552
>>331247115
the whole game is about cycles repeating, so it works if you aren't autistic
Oh my god you're telling me they brought back the armor of the most popular character of the series?
Next you'll tell me that the hitman games brought back the dual pistols

Dork Souls 3 is literally continuation of Dork Souls 2. But you fucking faggots will find anything to complain and blow out of proportion no matter how irrelevant or miniscule it is.

>>331277086
he was even in memeborne, why not?
>>331270189
it's a 2-handed weapon that deals magic damage and emits long-ranged lazor beams at the cost of some weapon durability
>>331246018
How did the armor become notable enough anyway if Solaire was just a singular crazed hobo figure? Did he become some sort of Don Quixote known all across Astora well before coming to Lordran or something?
>>331246018
>Sequel to game has continuity with important characters
LE MEMES GOD
>>331248656
I agree that the amount of aerial spins is over the top, but the falchion had a move like that even in Demon's Souls.
>>331277978
considering he made it clear that he was in a quest to find his own sun, which is vague as fuck and could take his whole life to find whatever he was actually looking for, surely he must have met a ton of people along the way
not to mention anyone seeing a silly handmade drawing like that would've made him stand out from all the other regular ass plated knights out there
>>331246018
This game is seriously shaping up to be nothing but I Understood That Reference: Extra Reddit Pandering Edition.
I want to be opstimistic but this is nearly impossible by now, holy fuck.
>>331246018
I TOLD YOU FUCKS THAT MIYAZAKI WASNT DIRECTING DARK SOULS 3
BUT NOOO YOU DIDNT LISTEN
ITS THE FUCKIN B-TEAM AGAIN
ALL OVER AGAIN
AGAIN
>>331278202
It depends on when his madness got severe though. Also, he may have still just come across as a vagrant. The Elite Knight set shows that Astora wasn't lacking in stylish looks for its knights after all.
>>331278684
Is it that yui guy again?
>>331278684
I was pretty sure of this as well. Everything about this game just screams dark souls 2. Miyazaki was making bloodborne. Of fucking course he wouldn't be directing dark souls 3.
His name was probably just thrown in there because he's literally become a meme by this point.
Everything we've seen from this game lacks the fine attention to detail his games usually have.
>>331278768
AFAIK he only got batshit insane at the very end in the ruins when he got the bug stuck on his head.
up until then he was just wandering around chilling. if you did the workaround for that event he never gets crazy and helps you against Gwyn.
oh damn this armor references another armor that has stigma attached to it, now I can't fight these new boss battles
damn what a trash game, rip the epic series that finally got good at prepare to die edition
>>331246387
Didnt people criticize DaS2 for referencing older games?
>>331277978
it's called pandering and they also did that in DaS 2
most of the people were fucking hollow, and you meet like 20 people in DaS 1 who were still alive, it doesn't make sense but who cares
>>331266701
>All those cucks saying DaS3 would have no references to DaS2 because Miyazaki hates it and it's not canon
Oh god, I am loving those tears.
>>331279493
yes
the only acceptable references are mechanics like souls as currency, estus, "you died" and so on.
at best, they are allowed to include the moonlight sword too.
>>331266701
I'm glad the tree Giants return. Seeing them for the first time in the cardinal tower was awe-inspiring.
>>331279760
the giants were a fucking bummer
no elaboration at all of where they came from or their purpose, they are as relevant as any other mob in the game.
they just happened to have a leader with a big sword and a macguffin you used to enter the final boss room
>>331246083
>being this salty that other people get to play a video game with you
Dude nice
>>331279981
>no elaboration at all of where they came from
A land across the seas.
>or their purpose
Used as slaves by Vendrick to control the Kiln. Later invaded Drangleic to take back what was theirs, but ended in a stalemate presumably.
>>331253627
holy impossible batman
I'm nervous about DS3 after DS2 and Blunderborne
>>331246018
so dark souls 2 is still the best of the series
>>331281071
>Blunderborne
Great zones, great bosses probably the strongest overall of all the games
>>331279748
its their fucking game, whats wrong with reference's?
>>331281348
poor story and equipment. It felt like they scooped up the leftover's of 1 and 2, redesigned them and put out bloodborne. it's grea,t played it, beat it, was fun, but it felt bare in all ways except combat. chalice dungeons sucked, boss's were okay-great, lore/story was good but could have been better. Just overall sub-par.
not bad but just felt so naked and bare. like it lacked depth.
>>331278684
If it was B-Team, this shit wouldn't be in the game in the first place. Why haven't you retards realized that yet?
>>331247802
I would be ok with this
>super corrupt Solaire
>move set completely different
>barely even recognizable save for his crest
>more or less just a mercy kill at this point
Maybe not final boss but something like this i would enjoy
>>331281931
That's not really something to worry about with this. You aren't guaranteed solid boss fights or smart level design this time, but variety and depth, no question about it.
>>331279748
>the only acceptable references are mechanics like souls as currency, estus, "you died" and so on.
And who the fuck came up with this supposed rule, faggot? You realize this is the only legitimate sequel to date we're talking about, so it makes sense that Dark Souls 2 was the first to do this.
>>331281071
Everything I've seen of the game has looked good, but my only concern is that it will be the easiest Souls game to date.
>>331282310
it doesn't get any easier than DS2, anon
is only one thing that can make or break this gamethe hitboxes
>>331282370
>it doesn't get any easier than DS2, anon
DS2 had a few challenging sections, as well as some complete bullshit ones, although I always it was about on par with DS1 difficulty wise.
>>331262519
Ok, I fucking love bloodborne, but you're full of shit, friend.
>everything is a meme
>>331280576
>A land across X.
And that's literally it.
It has so much depth and relevance to the plot that you could change it for "time", "dimensions" or anything else and it would have made sense anyway.
>Later invaded Drangleic to take back what was theirs
the famed "gift" that the game never mentions what it actually is or what it does.
>but ended in a stalemate presumably
Vendrick gave up when he found out that the "gift" wasn't enough to overcome the curse.
Therefore, it can't have been the power to stop hollowing, since he gives it to you just fine once you bring him all 3 crownsand they have nothing to do with the "gift" since none of them are related to it.

>>331248656
>taking that long to kill a low-level mob even with those flashy moves
holy fuck this gameplay looks bad, with floaty as fuck animations just like DS2
They learnt nothing from that game at all it seems.
DS3 is literally just DS2 mechanics and gameplay with a BB setting
You people will fucking complain about the stupidest shit.
>wtfffffffff solaire's armor is in the game!!!
Okay, so what? Yeah the whole solaire meme is annoying, but putting his armor among many other armor and weapons from the previous games is not a big deal, they're just nice homages. If the text was some retconned bullshit then yes i would be mad, but it's just the normal text of generic armor some autist painted a sun on.
>wow you can't upgrade armor anymore!
Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Did anyone actually like upgrading armor? You already have to dedicate all your resources on upgrading a couple of weapons of your choice, upgrading armor ontop of that was a pain in the ass. Less farming.
>pyromancy now requires magic stats!
Oh no, a form of magic now requires magic stats so not just anybody can whip it out, what will you ever do?
>>331260581
>they didn't retcon this
MIYAZAKIIIIIIIIII!!!!
>>331246018
Did Souls games always give absorption percents?
>>331285978
>implying being underleveled and/or having un-upgraded weapons isn't commonplace in souls games
>implying it's not at least 90% the direct consequence of all the complaining about the game being unfair, leading to all the git gud smugfest
>flashy moves ever being indication of strength in souls games
>>331286117
If I had to guess it just more concretely states how much of the total damage of a particular type that armor absorbs. Most likely as a percentage.
>>331263294
All Luck and Dex im going to be robin hood now that bows are stronk.
>>331286114
>Firekeepers only existed in DS2
>I am shitting on DS2, guys! Am I part of le cool Dork Souls Community yet? Can I be featured in the next Vaati lore video?
I want the poser memelords to leave.
>>331286068
not bad, here is a hard one:
how do you explain that they put cresfallen emo and cleric fetish guy always in every game when it's only good the first time around and was only nicely done in DaS1
>>331286249
Since the %s are different for the same defense stats, I dont think its for the particular armor. I think its your total from all armor.
>>331286278
They're barely firekeepers.
They all just sit around in a hut, next to a random bonfire that is of no story significance.
They don't drop special souls, upgrade your shit, or do anything except turn DS2 into babbys-first-tier by allowing stat redistribution.
>>331286261
I really want to do this, but I feel like bows are going to end up really underwhelming again like in DS2 so I'd have to save it for a second run. I couldn't bring myself to do a weird/gimmicky build on my first run of a game.
>>331286261
Hm. Since Luck affects poison effects, a luck build with a poison bow may not be a terrible idea.
>>331286494
>respec is not important
yeah it just allows you to try different stuff without having to create a new character and having to play through the whole game just to try out different builds
because you know, making all the rest of your equipment useless and forcing you to play it all over again is actually a good thing. replay value, amirite?
>>331286620
Just don't forget to buy poison arrows
