Guys, honestly, do you think Dark Souls III is going to be good, mediocre or shit?
>>
Good for sure and as long as it doesn't have DaS2 bad area design it will be great. Fuck I fucking hate DaS2 at times, what a complete piece of shit.

Better than DS2 obviously and possibly better than DS1/BB/DeS unless there is another post-anor londo tier drop in quality.

Good, just like Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. Not as great as Demon's Souls but definitely not as shitty as Bloodbore.

this. Das3 is gonna be sliiiightly better than Das2 cause at least miyazaki has had SOME involvement, but it's still B-team and it's still simply made to fill out a contractual obligation with Bamco.

The A-team is working on that next unspecified game that was leaked.

I just hope they actually tie the story into DaS1 instead of the embarrassing fan fiction that was DS2s story
>>
>>331292632
From what ive seen during the livestream today, it looks like a clone of bloodborne, even the enemy hit reactions

So its going to be decent, not great like demons souls and dark souls 1, but it will be fun to play

Much much better than dark souls 2

This isn't a collaborative effort you mong, many games(especially Nip ones) are led by auteur directors. The most important people in these projects are the directors.

Dark Souls 2 was essentially a repeat of the original. The universe wasn't expanded upon, and there was no conclusion.
He's hoping for an actual conclusion to the series.

>>331293834
but they did say "IMO" so they were right about that too.
>>
>>331293778
That's false.
Dark Souls 2 deals with the long eternity of the cycle and the fragments of Manus, their influence, and the curse when it's not outright hollowing people instantly.

There is just as much conclusion as in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. If you do everything right, you are free of the curse and the cycle, immortal and unable to hollow.

What your post really says is that you don't like the game and just disregard everything about it.
>>
>>331293778
How do you even pull off a conclusion to this? Save the world/break the cycle?

The most important people (at least for souls games) are those who design enemies and areas. This is not a story driven game like MGS where Kojima has actual influence on game pacing, character development and shit. In souls director at best can give general advice on where to place enemies, traps, powerful upgrades for player etc.

No one on /v/ is going to be officially allowed to like the game judging from the shitposting that's already happening now, but my feeling is the people with realistic expectations will be happy with the game.

>>331292632
Very worried that it's going to reuse more stuff from previous games than even DaS2 did. I have the suspicion that it's going to be mediocre because it will lack its own identity. Especially when I see shit like "Dragonslayer Armour" on the list of bosses. That being said I don't think that it will be shit.
>>
>>331294087
even in a story-driven game like MGS, it was a collaborative effort. You know that Fukushima meme? Well it aint just a meme. Kojima didn't solo-write anything, and he sure as shit didn't solo-create anything other than the writing.
>>
I'm hopeful. While the season pass shit really puts me off, the DLC areas in both games were good (with the exception of recycled bosses in Sunken King). DaS2 also had its share of genuine gameplay improvements; bows and crossbows, more balanced magic, removal of non-scaling elements, more equipment load levels, dual wielding, better crafting with more viable infusions, human form mattered in solo play and PvP covenants were accessible much earlier etc. though had its problems with worse level design and boss fights.

I'm hoping DaS3 manages to combine the strengths of both games. I'm still on the edge about whether I should pre-order though.

>>331293778
>Dark Souls 2 was essentially a repeat of the original. The universe wasn't expanded upon, and there was no conclusion.
>He's hoping for an actual conclusion to the series.
At least we can agree on the latter, but DaS2:SotFS somewhat fixed the story's lack of direction with the introduction of Aldia and his questions about whether continuing the cycle or ushering the Age of Dark are proper answers at all, or if there's some other answer to the cycle.

It seems DaS3 will continue off from DaS2:SotFS's new ending due to the appearance of Unkindled and Lords of Cinder (the cycle didn't continue as planned), the narrator mentioning "Lords going without their thrones" (Throne of Want wasn't taken by anyone) and the firekeeper or someone else in the intro holding a crown that is reminiscent to DaS2's sovereign crowns.
>>
>>331294252

Miyazaki babies just quit DeS because it had too many "unfair" gank encounters.
>>
>>331294218
Bamco isn't involved in the development, but it's pretty common knowledge that From signed off on a trilogy contract with Bamco back when they made the move away from Demon's Souls. Meanwhile, it was leaked a few weeks ago, maybe or a month, that From's been working on a new game with the team who created Bloodborne.

Das3 is simply From trying to push something out the door using as many assets and re-used concepts from Bloodborne as possible, while still doing a bit of fanservice to the Dasfags who didn't buy a ps4 (example: they put solaire's meme armor in the game) so they can fulfill the trilogy contract and get back to working on what Miyazaki actually wants to work on, i.e this new game
>>
>>331294221
>Too bad this is never fucking explained at all, and makes no sense.
Wow! Just like everything fucking else like how becoming a monumental affects you, what the old one will do when fed, what linking the fire really does to you, etc etc
>>
>>331294221
"Once the fire is linked, souls will flourish anew and all this will play out again"

"Beyond the scope of light, Beyond the reach of dark, what could possible await us?"

Both your questions are answered in the endings, the most straight forward of lore in DS2, Why the crown keeps you from hollowing will be explained in DS3 since you as an Unkindled can't hollow and there are thrones, crowns and shit all over the game.
>>
>>331294351
But the ending in DaS2:SotFS is no different than the Age of Dark.
The only difference is that your character doesn't become a Dark Lord.

>>331292868
>le dark souls 2 is bad meme
>>
I feel it will have too much pandering, memes, and the game will be mediocre.
I hope i'm wrong.
>>
>>331294495
I don't care about DeS lore.

If we had a proper sequel, then we would get an answer to what happens after we link. Too bad we needed to have DaS2 in between the beginning and the end.
>>
>>331294589

The crown after the DLC's keeps you from hollowing/losing humanity though, making you effectively immortal and sane. I'm guessing the apocalypse scenario is happening now because the Dark Souls 2 character found the final solution to the fire problem.
>>
>>331294623
You're probably right. I just hope the bosses are well designed instead of a giant spider shooting blue lasers out both of its assholes

>>331294804
If there was an actual explanation for why three random kings from one cycle could grant this power, I would be perfectly fine with that.
>>
>>331294589
>But the ending in DaS2:SotFS is no different than the Age of Dark.
>The only difference is that your character doesn't become a Dark Lord.
That's already different, the character's motivation behind doing it. Also I think the Throne fundamentally differs from the Kiln in that taking it doesn't automatically burn the user for the good of mankind, but lets them choose.

Description of Giant's Kinship
>Each King has his rightful throne. And when he sits upon it, he sees what he chooses to see. Or perhaps, it is the throne, which shows the king only what he wants.
Emerald Herald
>If you proceed, Nashandra will come after you. Knowing that you will take the throne, and link the fire. She covets the First Flame, and the Great Soul.
>You, who link the fire, you, who bear the curse… Once the fire is linked, souls will flourish anew, and all of this will play out again. It is your choice…To embrace, or renounce this… Great Sovereign, take your throne. What lies ahead, only you can see.
These also make Nashandra's actions make more sense, since she obviously wouldn't want the Throne just so she could burn it in for the good of mankind, meaning the Throne also has the possibility of ushering darkness.

Aldia's dialogue, questioning both continuing the cycle and destroying the order of the world
>Once, the Lord of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from humanity. And men assumed a fleeting form. These are the roots of our world. Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie. Young Hollow, knowing this, do you still desire peace?
>All men trust fully the illusion of life. But is this so wrong? A construction, a facade, and yet… A world full of warmth and resplendence. Young Hollow, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this wonderful falsehood?

I'm expecting it to be better than DaS2 but worse than DaS and DeS.

Impossible.

>>331295054
After defeating Aldia and his ending
>I lost everything, but remained here, patiently. The throne will certainly receive you. But the question remains… What do you want, truly? Light? Dark? Or something else entirely…
>There is no path. Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark… …what could possibly await us? And yet, we seek it, insatiably… Such is our fate.

Ergo, while no one taking the Throne will probably have the same effect as just ushering the Age of Dark right now in the long run, the new ending seems to renounce both answers (the cycle and Age of Dark) and feels more like a sequel hook for DaS3. DaS3's intro certainly seems to imply that the cycle didn't continue as planned.

DeS was perhaps my favorite game of all time and I never doubted for a second that DaS would be fantastic too. It did not disappoint.
DaS2 on the other hand was not what I hoped for.
Miyazaki is back at the helm though, right?
DeS, DaS, and BB are all so fucking good. I just hope it's about as good as they are.

The moveset is the exact same as the crescent axe, greataxe, great club, bramd, dozer axe

The damage does not compare to cursed weapon fagolas with pure physical weapons and dark silver shields, same goes for Blessed weapons

Yes, but with the range of 100 light years, also I didn't say I didn't like those weapons, although greataxe has shit range and great club looks shitty.
>>
>>331293143
I think Miyazaki is a control freak. That's why most of the mechanical tweaks they made in DaS2 were reverted.
I think too much of the game's design is credited to the rest of the team. When in reality, the one doing the design work is primarily Miyazaki, and whoever works directly under him. The rest are all codmonkeys and artists. Simply following direction.

I don't fear B-team's competence under a good director.

it shapes up to be the best of souls series thanks to level design alone
ign stream lasted 3 hours and they rushed to undead settlement relatively fast but got absolutely fucking lost in the place, it's like two or three cathedral wards stitched together with at least 3 levels of terrain, you can even explore the space under bridges where crystal lizards dwell, you can explore roofs, you can explore every single fucking building, everything has some neat details and items or cool enemies
>>
>>331297675
You could already do that in Bloodborne. I guess they are using the same engine.
I hope they don't re-use too many assets

>>331293626
If you go solely by the totally necessary areas, BB is best.
Trouble is that makes it even shorter.
>>
>>331297808
you can't explore a shitton of buildings in bloodborne, this was one of my largest gripes with its level design
like, there's a fuckton of doors in central yharnam but you can't open any of them aside from a select few
in undead settlement if you see a door, you can open it and it will contain some nice surprise
miyazaki specifically stated that it was his aim in one of the early ds3 interviews

Regardless how good it actually is, I'm still going to wait until its on sale with all DLC on Steam for under $60.
That way I'm paying full price for the full game and not full price for part of it, then $30 more for the rest of it.

Actually, it's incredibly hard to make a game like that interesting, you dumb fuck. It can produce stellar effects when done right, but it's very, very hard.

Not confident in their ability to make bleed and poison builds balanced through Luck?
>>
>>331298596
Not him, I just don't like vigor. I think the least stats should affect the most objects. Stamina and equip load should be functions of VIT, END, and STR.
But that's just me.
>>
>>331298387
Vigor is so Flynn's Ring builds and heavy armor builds can exist. Equip load is very lenient anyway.

Luck is EXTREMELY useful. Luck gives you a hell of a lot of drops, Thief finds tons of stuff Knight doesn't, and the Rusted Gold Coins are ridiculously good.
Luck also determines bleed and poison scaling, and is was said in yesterday's IGN stream to be good for a number of weapons and spells.
Pyromancy requirements are very low. Fireball requires 6 INT/FAI, Fire Surge requires 6 INT, Great Combustion requires 10 INT/FAI. Most classes start with 9/10 INT or FAI.

Has never been useful in any Souls but DS1. They bringing poise back, or amping the defense numbers?

>>331298927
>They bringing poise back, or amping the defense numbers?
Poise is back, and armour can't be upgraded.
Since PvP matchmaking is back to SL exclusively, people can't just get 40 END and VIG for fastrolling havels.
>>
>>331294604
God you cunts are the worst
>>
>>331298927
Heavy armor was overpowered in DaS2 and is still good today if you're any skilled with hyper armor weapons.

Anyway, see >>>>331291654

This will Probally be the last dark souls I play, at this point the formulas pretty played out and it could really use some more reinvention at this point.

Everyone knows axes are decent mainly for rolling r1 in pvp, particularly when buffed by broken catalyst curse weapon.
That said, all the rolling r1s share the SAME AOE, so it makes the most sense to simply use the weapon with the best PURE scaling, thats buffable. Crushing great axe is the only one that fits this bill.

you're trying too hard to fit in with the DeS shill.
aggreed that DaS2 the worst in series though.
at this point the DeS meme is people trying very hard to pretend theyre "le oldfags" and failing.

I will ask you once.
what was your build/stats in DeS?
which enemy dropped pure bladestone
which 2 weapons ignored shield damage reduction
Which spell allowed running magic to be toggled?
who helps you against penetrator?
What boss comes directly after penetrator?
what prerequisite is necessary for white fog to lift from 1-2?
and finally, how many iframes are your rolls gimped by in water?

>>331292632
If I'm being honest I haven't even looked too much into it.

I am confident that From will do a good job with this coming fresh of the heels of BB.

If they let BB influence the formula for DS it will be a good thing. The combat in DS could be a little more hectic and intense like in BB. They would be crazy not to learn from it.

Plus, if what they said is true, this is the last dark souls game. So they know they have to get it right.

Sometimes the third time really is the charm.

The only thing I see going wrong is that they have simply run themselves dry of anything imaginative and DS3 becomes an imitation of old From tropes with no confidence to try anything new.

Shill doesn't mean "person you don't like" you fucking clown.

Demon's Souls is completely fucked on a gameplay level, but that doesn't change the fact that it has the best level design, atmosphere, and writing in the series by far. It doesn't bullshit you by hiding essential story infromation from you, it treats bosses as unique encounters instead of just ebin 1v1 encounters, and it doesn't have a neutered multiplayer with a shitty covenant system. Dark Souls was a downgrade in every single way except basic mechanical balance, and even then it's still a complete mess.
>>

Sorry, the answer was not "false king allant, but "blue dragon."
also you could not roll at all in water, you would only stagger, so the answer is ALL OF your iframes. you lose.

>>331303117
same with you fag.

the optimal way to toggle is with firespray, or any CONTINUOUS magic.

also you forgot about water stagger in the fucking swamp and blue dragon as well.

lastly for both of you, the answer to optimal grinding is to have 99 luck, large sword of searching, AND THEN black phantom/black world tendency.
THEN AFTER GRINDING HAVE A FRIEND SOULSUCK THOSE 99 LEVELS OUT OF YOU.

No. You're wrong.

Any projectile that doesn't halt movement in startup can be used as a base for toggle. All the flamejets and soul arrows can be used just as fire spray is with different effects. You know basically nothing. Spray is just the best because it's so damn fast.

homing soul arrow is basically the same as any pursuing magic in any souls game, but it has a block break effect in des.

Does your mom have to dress you every morning? Community size doesn't have any impact on the basic mechanics of multiplayer. You wanna know what Demon's Souls has? Two basic stones, plus a third one for dueling post game, and you get the first two almost immediately. Dark Souls doesn't let you invade at all early with the exception of the 4 cracked orbs, and it splits the multilayer community up needlessly with half assed covenant so, some of which don't even work (Darkmoon, Gravelord) and have to be leveled up through alternate means in order to make progress quickly. And it only became worse later in the series, with DS2 removing full orbs altogether and Bloodborne forcing you into unfair situations outside of the Nightmares.

I know you think Dark Souls is the best game evarrrr cause it's for mature hardcore players like you, but don't try to pretend that its shit doesn't stink.

It doesn't drop a boss soul though. It drops a unique soul. It's an optional enemy in a mandatory area that drops a soul that can only be used for consuming.

At least souls has a community still playing, unlike des, which is literally 0.

So there are literally no multiplayer mechanics, because theres no multiplayer.

>bet you think Das is blah blah blah

technically if we go pvp wise, it should look like this
>DeS>BB>Das>DaS2sotfs>>>>>>>>>>>>DaS2

backstab meta brings Das lower than BB, which has so many broken weapons that its balanced. DeS EVERYTHING is broken therefore it is balanced. DaS2, Soul memory is broken, so its shit.

PVE
Das=BB>DeS>Das2sotfs>>>>>>>>>>DaS2

Its a fact the connected world was great and universally praised by everyone on this board at the time, as well as multitude of weapons.

A connected world doesn't mean shit if the levels themselves aren't interesting at all. The only good areas are the Undead Burg/Parish, Blighttown, and Ariamis, with the rest being mediocre at best. Demon's Souls may not have had a connected world, but its levels were more unique and organic than anything in Dark Souls. The only low point was 2-2 and maybe 4-2 on multiple playthroughs.
>>
>>331304704
Check the wiki, dragon is listed as a boss.
same in official guide
>>
>>331305262

But his soul does do something, because it's used in a quest line that's actually quite useful for most characters, unlike the dragon souls which only give more souls, which can also be acquired by grinding . You're also conveniently ignoring the fact that he's absolutely mandatory and drops an archstone upon death.
>>
>>331305393

I have the official guide in my hands right now. Archstone bosses are referred to as Major Demons, and the last bosses of their respective areas are Archdemons. The Red Dragon and Blue Dragon aren't referred to anything but their names, not even once.

None of those comparisons work outside of the very first one, which is quite fitting because they both have great design and ease the player into the world they're about to enter.

The Kiln and Great Old One are only similar in that they're corridors to the ending. The aesthetic, progression, and tone are vastly different.

Lost Izalith is only similar to Stonefang in the fact that it's the "lava level" of its respective game. Izalith is an illogical series of fantasy Dravidian ruins, while Stonefang is a comparatively realistic ore mining site with a temple at the very end, and a proper sense of flow.

New Londo is nothing like Latria, I don't know how you reached that conclusion.

Blighttown is definitely another attempt at VoD, but it's a worse experience overall. Not bad by any means though.

Catacombs shits in 4-2. They're other spooky skeleton level since, but Catacombs is very intricately designed while 4-2 has the dishonor of being the only non-3 level with no shortcut or alternate path.

That quote was retarded and didn't make any sense.

The movement and controls in DaS3 is the closest we will problably get to Demons Souls.

If they don't fuck up the multiplayer and invasions like in the last two games, we will get a great "spiritual" sequel to Demons.

Good, I even liked DSII. These games are kinda the only games I find fun anymore

>>331315758
It's the only argument there is to bash DS2 bosses over DaS1 bosses.
Also, you were speaking of early bosses which in DS2 are admittedly mostly humanoid.
>>
>>331300303
Lances and Spears are godtier souls weapons.

I speared DS1, lanced DS2. I might continue with a lance build for DS3.
>>
>>331315679
funny thing is DaS had 26 bosses with DLC and DaS 2 had 41. In DaS there were 5 dudes in armour, 9 if you want to count in 4kings, 10 if you want to count in Iron Golem as a dude in armour, 11 if you also count in Gwyndolin even though he's neither a full dude nor wearing armour.

DaS 2 had 18 of them, 20 if you want to count in the 2 Smelter demons, 23 if you want to count in Skeleton Lords, 24 if you want to count in Lost Sinner (who's not wearing armour), 25 if throwing in Prowling Magus (who is again not wearing armour), 26 if you count in Elana summoning Velsdadt (which is a stretch).

They are also an utter trash which is completely unrelated to them being humanoids.

What? What's your list?

>>331316627
and that's not counting in that for a bulk of the areas, including all 3 DLCs the vast majority of your godamn enemies were - guess who - dudes in armour

That is 26 boss fights, as can be found here: http://darksouls.wikidot.com/bosses
That does not include minibosses, only fights with boss health bars. If you want to stretch it to individual enemies then that makes the percentage even smaller.

>>
>>331298387
there is literally nothing wrong with Vigor you dumb retard
>>
>>331317125
Just because they have utterly predictable and limited movesets (in case of dragonrider and pursuer it's a frontal dash, 2-3 hit combo and sweep you learn to recognize in 2 minutes of fighting them never being hit before, in case of last giant he's not even trying to hit you), slow as shit and completely destroyed by unlocked play, lack any unique gimmicks, lack atmosphere, lack good design and lack good soundtrack.
>>
It's gotta be better than 2
>>
>>331317259
I don't care about fucking similarities, Fromsoft has been re-using assets since 1994.

>>331317464
>Just because they have utterly predictable and limited movesets

Suffers from exactly the same shit. Or did you not play the beta?

Agreed, but kinda subjective.
Hard to tell if DS3 will be any better in those regards.
>>
>>331317701
>Then why praise the boss posted in the webm?
He at least has two stages of combat with changed moveset and frostbite gimmick on top of them, which already puts him ahead of absolute majority of DS2 bosses with rare exceptions, mainly from DLC.

That was 26 armoured humanoids.

Drop the optionals and that's still 18 dudes in armour, plus overwhelming amounts of dudes in armour you fight to get to them
>>
>>331317974
humanoid bosses aren't the problem. the best bosses in the series are humanoids
>Artorias
>O&S
>Fume Knight
>Gehrman
>Gascoigne
the problem is that the humanoids have movesets that make them behave like larger versions of normal mobs, so they're boring as fuck and feel like a regular enemy with inflated HP
>>
>>331317974

That's 18, not 26 humanoid boss fights.
>>
>>331317464
Pursuer and Dragon rider is a boss that have comparable moveset to DaS bosses such as the Iron Golem, taurus, sylum demon, ceaseless discharge,capra demon etc.

>lack any unique gimmicks, lack atmosphere, lack good design and lack good soundtrack.
DaS2 have more than double the amount of bosses than DaS.
When it comes to an acceptable form of gimmick, soundtrack, design and atmosphere, DaS2 suprass DaS in raw numbers.
>>
>>331315427
From that webm alone the boss looks nothing like the generic big swordsman from Dark Souls 2. No 3-hit combo, no 2-hit sweep, no overhead. He's exactly like Ludwig, who had those lunge attacks and a laser attack almost identical to the one Vordt does at the end of the webm.
>>
>>331317860
He's nothing different from many SotFS bosses.
2 stages, minor gimmick.
Design is weak at best.

The Dancer of the Frigid Valley would be a good example, as it's moveset and design at least seems unique.
>>
mediocre pandering

it'll just be like DaS2, it doesn't even have the "A team" it just has miyazaki overseeing a bunch of literal whos
>>
>>331318148
Noone said anything to the otherwise, I just pointed out how many armoured humanoids you have to fight. The bulk of the bosses are either "blob monster" "giant animal" or "dude in armour". Fume Knight was a great fight because he punished the standard roll-hit-roll-hit-hit routine with his slow wide sweeps and variety of attacks, but the rest were incredibly predictable unless they bumrushed you in numbers (Which is another boring fuckup from the DaS 2 team, see something like 2cat or ganksquad)

He has a lot more details put into than most of DS2 bosses.
Like rare long fur sticking out from his armor or his frost aura or his uncanny movements that combine human ones and beastly ones.
>>
I want the combat of BB with the world design of DaS, so far it looks like that's what we're getting and the hype is literally killing me. We won't know for sure until the game is out though.

My biggest concern is that all the areas are going to be kind of samey. As much as I loved BB, I really missed the map variation of DaS. I hope there's a good mixture of comfy places and nightmarish places and a couple of surreal places.
>>
>>331318165
That's 18 individual humanoid enemies. I counted individual enemies in the Dark Souls 2 humanoids. If you want to boil it down to boss fights alone, that makes it only 4 boss fights where you fight purely humans in armour in Dark Souls, amping up to 7 if you count in the mentioned 4kings, Iron Golem and Gwyndolin. Boil it down to just fights in Dark Souls 2 and you still end up with 12 armoured dude boss fights, or 17 if you add in the optionals
>>
>>331318701
>the game is prettier

ok so now the boss is better I guess
>>
They have a winning formula. It will always be a triumph. Only nit picky no lifers why cry about frames and backstab triggers bitch (after buying lol) and they make up less than 1%

I lost hope with Das2 and felt like souls games in general were out of ideas, but bloodborne really renewed my faith. If its even half as good as that I'm happy.

even if FROM fucks it up again, it cant be worse because it's SL based and not SM

>Poise seems to actually work now, no more stunlocks up the ass like in DaS2

>Hexes are back, and they were some stupid tryhard garbage for DaS2's story
>DaS2 encouraged you to be a shitter and use these way too much
>The story may take some of the garbage from DaS2's story

I'm more concerned about the lore and stuff rather than hexes, but yeah. It seems fine right now. The Japanese release will tell us all we need to know, assuming we can check without massive spoilers.
>>
>>331318934
How can a game that departed the most out of 'Souls' series renewed your faith?

He's sure better as he's a combination of 2-stage combat, good music, good design and good atmosphere.
>>
>>331318995
It will have BB style invasion restriction with a couple of tweak.
If SM killed DaS2 for you, this one will nail the coffin for you.

there's no actual poise, just 2-hit stunlocks and hyperarmor

The first phase is more similar, but still more like a Bloodborne boss with all the moving around it does. Even then, I don't think dismissing half of the fight makes it a valid comparision.

You should try actual reading comprehension instead of just skimming.

i'm not thinking about it too much.
i've avoided threads/media until now.
i was hyped for dark souls 2, obviously. hell i remember when it was announced live i nearly stopped breathing just because of how unexpected it was.
DS2 established that it's possible to create a bad souls game
bloodborne established that miyazaki is a genius
i'm going into 3 as much of a blank slate as i can make myself.
my subconscious, however, is BEYOND hyped. i'm trying to contain it, but just yesterday i found out it's released on the last day of classes for me so i'm just about ready.
>>

Shit. It's one of the few bad things in the game. It did make sense within the the setting at least.

tl:dr; You can only get invaded if you coop, or in 2 late game areas (without requiring coop). You can also kill an enemy to stop the invasions from happening.

DaSII is the best mechanically, at least.

It's fighting mechanics are the reason it's online is still alive and well; having shit like viable dual wielding and special weapons meant that it never fell to the same issue as DaS PvP (i.e. only 5 weapons being used in online)

So I heard that you can't upgrade armor anymore. So is armor just gonna be like demons souls now? Where it's kinda useful in the beginning, but becomes completely useless in the middle on onwards. I mean I was hoping for good armor like in DS1, since armor was completely useless in DS2, no matter how much you upgraded it, but I guess it'll stop twinks. Still kinda blows if true though.

I much preferred clunky as havel flipping to ADP, ADP is a worthless addition to the stat pool because if EVERYONE needs 25 ADP to be viable, then all you've done is add 25 SL onto everyone's builds. All this does is add on 25 more levels to grind that are essentially meaningless, since EVERYONE needs it, it could have just been given to everyone at the start and there would have been no difference.

SM> whatever the fuck happened in darksouls1 pre dscfix. I agree completely on, this is why when me and my friends want to play we pick up darksouls 2 even though all of us universally agree the game is worse.

The movement in darksouls 1 is much faster, you start off with like the equivalent of 100 adp that doesn't need to be leveled. You only get faster in darksouls 2 at like 100 agi.

>whats wrong with weapon durability
Lets not play this game, acknowledge the thing you like has flaws, flaws like the weapon durability ticking down twice as fast in 60fps because physics was linked to framerate.

I have no idea what was wrong with item discovery, so I agree that there is nothing wrong with it.
>>

Yes, the easily exploitable ninjaflipping system of DaS was worse than ADP.

Doesn't happen anymore, it was patched.

It's kind of frightening the kind of lasting damage you get when you couple an autistic e-celeb with the loudest and most vacuous gaming community.

Before Dark Souls 2 all of the best boss fights were against humanoid enemies, after Dark Souls 2 suddenly it became the worst thing ever and then after Bloodbourne it went back to being the best thing ever again. These retards literally run on memes, no wonder the community turned into what it is now.

Are you the same 12 year old faggot as above? You are making shit up. NO ONE complained about shit hitboxes in DKS1, in fact that fucking game still gets carte blanche for everything today, and NO ONE complained about hitboxes in BB as well when they were just as fucked.

Not that hitboxes were ever a major deal in these games, because it's a natural part of game design, but they were apparently in DKS2 because e-celeb + parrots = meme

>>331327238

Because it's literally broken on PC and easily fixed with user made mods, a competent studio would integrate it via official Steam mods. People can bitch about Dark Souls 2, but it's not an objectively broken piece of shit like Dark Souls is.

>>331327286
hitboxes in BB were nowhere near as fucked, the handful of bug webms you see on /v/ aren't how the game really is. I have never had an instance in BB where an attack that shouldn't have hit me did, and that very rarely happened in DaS except for a couple select bosses.

It happens often in DaS II though.

The fucking texture work and the look of the world in das and 2. It triggers me like a dyke at a straight bar. I like the art direction but the presentation as a whole just puts me right the fuck off. 3's got the fidelity increased to the point where I can put that behind me.

Shallow as fuck I know, and hardly a rational complaint. But still.
>>
>>331328205

No, my argument is that something being tight isn't an issue just because you're used to a more casual version of it. The fact that you're brushing off LITERALLY game breaking problems but nitpicking "waaah I'm too shit to learn how to roll with less leniency" shows that you're a drone.

Nah, Dark Souls 2 is objectively better mechanically and graphically and doesn't CTD or make you fall through the map if you uncap the FPS.
>>
Gonna wait for reviews/until I can actually play the game
>>
>>331329019
>Dark Souls 2 is objectively better mechanically

Your hitbox lags during rolls so that you can get hit where you were rather than where you are. Adaptability doesn't even fix that, it just gives you more I-frames.
>>
>>331328791
there are literally like 3-4 webms of hitbox bugs in BB and they are just that, bugs. They are also never of boss fights.

You can boot up DaS II and experience bad hitboxes easily for yourself, the same cannot be said for BB. You would know if you could play it.
>>
>>331329070
you'll get 3 weeks of footage from the japanese release, is that good enough?
>>
>>331329143

You fall through the map in Dark Souls and your rolls don't guarantee your safety because the hitboxes are equally janky. You can't cite something about Dark Souls 2 that is as bad as THE GAME LITERALLY NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY.

All I can seem to find that is actually a problem is the chalice watchdog which was patched, and either way Dark Souls II STILL has way more shit hitboxes.

So do you have a PS4 and BB? Have you played it?
>>
>>331329453
Yeah the art direction was great, like I mentioned. I just thought the actual game assets looked mostly like puke.

Well, that's a bit strong. I just never felt like the games presentation lived up to the imagination that went into it. I can't help but feel it's fundamentally ugly, even where it's still pretty/striking. But not artistically ugly, just 'this still looks like king's field' ugly.

Could never quite get past it.

Not the same. Dark Souls 1 told the story through implications, character motivations, descriptions, area layout, character actions, myths and legends. It was vague for a purpose, to keep the player looking to understand the world better through living through it.

Dark Souls 2 told the story thought Item descriptions. That's it.

Let me guess, you don't like the PS4 controller either? I honestly don't understand this. The PS4 controller is literally perfect. I don't ever want to game with anything else. And the DS3 controller was like a smaller prototype for the DS4. Both are much better than the clunky Xbox controllers.
