20 hours into Dark Souls 3, ask me anything.
>>332245421
how did you get your hands on a copy?
Does it have an interconnected world like Dark Souls 1?
Can you warp from the start?
Do you level up at bonfires, or with some maiden at a hub?
What weapon looks OP?
What build looks versatile?
Where does it rank for you among other Souls games?
>>332245524
Seriously? you can get ps4 and xbone digitally if you make a japanese account, i believe the xbone version can be put into full english mode too.
im playing japanese ps4
What console?
What are you playing on? If it's PC, how well optimized is it?
>>332245636
oh so you have to be a console pleb
>>332245524
Hax
>>332245564
It's crossed between Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1. Firelink Shrine is a separate hub but everything else is connected.
We have a wiafu for leveling
Why are Ultra greatswords so fucking awful?
>>332245421
Favorite weapon so far?
>AMA
Kill yourself
>>332245721
Shit
Please don't be true. Is it because every enemy is too fast or did they nerf the damage?
How's the music?
>>332245421
Is Blue Flame (or another straight sword catalyst) back? I know there's a candlestick thing but it's ugly as fuck, I want an actual sword
>>332245713
So like Bloodborne.
>there are people who unironically bought a version of a game they cannot understand
>that runs at 25 fps

>>332245631
I'm running dex/faith and its really fun. There are miracles that buff stats like crazy.
I'd say its neck and neck with DS1
>>332245868
They don't stagger shit other than trash mobs unless you use weapon arts
>>332245996
Looks like English to me.
>>332245994
BB isn't fully connected.
>>332245868
Different guy from OP here, but they are fairly fine. Just there's a lot of bloodborne like enemies that don't let you really wind up on them without getting your ass slapped.
Also seems like a ton of enemies have hyper-armor so after 1-2 hits if you haven't killed them they are going to swing at you anyway.
I've found extreme success with a regular battle axe compared to any greatsword.
>>332246027
I've always found that to be really fucking stupid. It's a giant hunk of metal. Fuck.
>>332245421
You ever get this tug in your right nut after sneezing really hard?
>>332246153

>>332245815
>only Reddit uses acronyms!
are you gud yet?
Is it pandering the game?
>>332246229
>>332246153
Ultra greatswords really aren't good in 3, they were powerful because they staggered enemies and now they can't do it as well, it's terrible also because they're still just as slow, I found myself actually getting hit even after staggering an enemy.
Is the claymore still in?
>>332246308
>>332246307
Its great in crowd situations but for every one swing of it I had 3 with my axe that does comparable damage. Its tokyo drift moves are highly impractical against anything but fodder, and that sucks.
OP Here
Check out this dank new boss
I wonder who this could be
>>332245721
only the dumbest fags use the heaviest weapons
they're below even scrub magicfags
>>332246560
Its staggers really hard which is good, i switch back to katana for fast fights but most enemies have a combo then a few seconds where they are standing still
>>332245421
A few questions OP. Is there...
>Alvas?
>Havels?
>Dark moonblade?
>Bewitched alonne?
>Giants armour?
>Mask of the father?
>>332246574
Do you literally just fight a suit of armor?
>>332246780
May as not have them in 3 because they're fucking worthless, my refined longsword is better at killing shit.
>>332246520
Retard.
>>332245421
Did you havefun
Is there a way to ReSpec like in DaS 2? That was my favorite thing about the game honestly.
>>332245421
Show the Moonlight GS moveset
>>332246817
Well I'm just saying my axe staggers the exact same and it does nearly identical damage for way less stamina. I want to enjoy the Farron GS, I rushed that shit really hard. But I can't honestly recommend it to anyone besides a few boss-fights like the Deacons.
>>332246826

Sounds ok. You'd have to waste that last ReSpec to switch back to whatever you were comfortable with in the end though.

>>332246780
>Below magic
Only faggot magic users spout this drivel. Magic is far and away the easiest possible way you can play these games. Melee, even heavy weapon faggots have to deal with some enemies bullshit, magic gets to stand back and blast it to death while FROMS brilliant AI flails around trying to hit a target thats always 30 feet away blasting 1/4th of its healthbar off every 2 seconds.
Objective list of most faggy to least
Magic(all)>Heavy weapon poise fags>heavy weapon fags>Dex fags(still fags)Fist weapon fags(retarded people)

>>332247393
Its somewhere in between Demos Souls and DS1
Most enemies can be parried, you will know when you see one that can't be
>>332247482
People always say this until there is a firm grasp on where the spells are and so on. Wait until routes come out and you'll see it jump right back up to where it was.

>>332247749
Your post was about how heavy weapon users are the scrubbiest of the lot, thats wrong. Magic is always the winner in that case.
There isn't a damn thing great about either of them, but don't have delusions that magic isn't the gayest thing in these games.
>>332247454
How would you rate it in comparison to the other souls games and bloodborne?
>>332245421
so you finished the game then, congrats
>>332247757
>polearms
>>332247757
Pyromancy is broken as shit,
From did us a favor and just nerfed offensive miracles right off the bat. Its all about miracle hexes and buffs.
havent used any yet
Polearms have really good weapon arts.
>>332247771
It's not even about that. It just feels great cutting down multiple enemies at once and be rewarded for dealing with the weight and lack of speed. Guts mode would be a musou honestly since he's Dex+Strength. I don't see the hate for anything but magic fags.
>>332247757
Pyromancy is now the best magic for pure casters. Sorceries and Miracles work better to support a melee weapon now.
>>332247832
Will card summon. If you get invaded by a red, the red can use purple summon signs in your world to cause a mound maker to invade. Thing is, they're neutral, so the mound maker can either attack the invader OR the host, so you don't know what you'll get. Might fuck you, might help you.

No, my post stated that magic users are scrubs because magic is easy mode shit in DaS1 (DaS2 is a mistake and irrelevant). UGS fags are just dumb fags for liking such a retarded concept of wielding things that are sometimes heavier than the character. So they are even worse than magicfags.
>>332248032
Another anon again, its entertaining. But the fact that it leans so hard on Ds1 and parts of DS2 really takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it. For every one new thing you find you end up picking up a dozen from the previous games. The pandering gets really really silly at times.
This is the first time I've actually felt tired of the series.

Did they fix the stats on the Alva gauntlets or are they still garbage compared to literally every other gauntlets in the game for no reason?

Do all weapons have unique weapon arts, or do generic basic weapons share the same ones?

Profaned Capital bonfire, where you got the emote, right next to some chairs/tables, on the ground.
>>332245421
Is it worth, or should I stick with Bloodborne?
>>332249027
Most weapon arts are by category.
Straight swords all use "stance" for example. Unique weapons like boss soul weapons generally get their own though.
>>332248789
Yes .. and? You don't even need to use magic to wield these weapons in game even though it actually should require it because they still have some laws of physics and gravity in the game.
>>332249027
70% of the weapons in a weapon class will share the same art. The other 30 with either have something entirely unique or will have a skill from another weapon class.
I.E.
Longsword:Stance
Irithyll sword:stance
Dark sword despite being a SS uses the stomp art

>>332252292
Sounds good to me, I love some pyro.
I'm not really planning on using pyromancy attack spells, but Carthus Beacon looks like Power Within 2.0 and Carthus Flame Arc is Flame Weapon, so those both seem like a really good help to a melee build.

Look at it on paper, he is the ultimate pander-boss. Nothing but fanservice.
>>332252523
That will fade, I have a strong feeling that once the hype dies down people are going to see this game as a disappointment. It barely has its own identity it steals so hard from its previous works.

>>332252450
I was watching Distortion2's stream and he was still getting a pretty big bonus on his Pyro Flame's spell buff stat going above 30/30 INT/FAI, so I'm not sure. I'd guess 30/30 is the soft cap, sorta like hexes in DS2, but that it keeps on scaling beyond that.
25/25 is about what you need to hit all the spell requirements that I know of so far.
>>332252404
The game makes references to Gywndolyn and how he was sick and fraile despite being the heir of Lord of Cinder. It would be easy for Aldrich to consume him and take over Anor Londo. Also the Pontiff is a cuck

Uh.. where ever the fuck this is. I'm thinking it's up in the house where the two fat sluts are, but I can't explore the area very well with them trying to eat me.
>>332252505
If you've gotten everybody else's soul besides lothric go talk to the lady that gives you the banner
>>332252507
You are retarded.
>>332245713
Sounds like DeS/DkS2
>>332245868
Didn't you play BB? Miyazaki haet slow but strong shit
>>332252505
You need to head down to the Dungeon, through the Profand Capitol and then to Profand Throne.

Looks like that guy from Norway or wherever that killed 77 teenagers in a terrorist attack because he wad "defending his country."

Breivik did nothing wrong.
For someone who was completely burnt out on this series after he beat Vanilla DaS2 and hasn't touched Bloodborne will this game be fun for me?
>>332253018
Still burnt out on it? If you are, it won't really be any more fun.
>>332252765
>>332252807
Ok, thank you. I haven't been to the Profained Capital yet. How do i get there to fight Yhorm?

Explain yourself faggot. Why aren't you posting your own screenshots?
>>332252813
Her name is Yhoska and she's a different NPC you stupid fuck.
>>332253018
Did you like DaS2? Then no, it is not for creatures like you.
>>332252682
It's an excuse to have all the pretty sets from Das with updated graphics and cloth physics, as well as adds it's own bit of new lore that wraps it all up with the existing lore, more or less. Plus, more of the same is fine when it's with something as fun as the souls series.
>>332252749
but that's so sad gwyndolin doesn't deserve that
>>332252682
>That will fade, I have a strong feeling that once the hype dies down people are going to see this game as a disappointment. It barely has its own identity it steals so hard from its previous works.
This. This shit won't last. Once you stop busting a nut over le epic references, you'll be considerably more aware of how little of DaS3 is actually its own. Give it a few weeks.

LUST DOOR KICK
What did it mean by this?
Is Artorias' armour back? I know his Sword is back with it's Weapons Arts and the sort, I just want to cosplay him for my Second build
Can I make a THICK waifu?
>>332252790
This path should take you a ledge where you can jump onto a tower, and head down to a pathway that takes you to the Cursed Greatwood. Or just head straight from the bonfire next to the stone bridge.
>>332245421
How much was the Jap version?
>>332252996
Did I say that? Also shut up /pol/
>>332253139
leave you nigger poster
>>332253087
Nah don't think so. I was burnt out becauseI used to stream shit for /v/ all the time from the import release of DeS and it got rather overbearing after a while since everyone wanted that to be my content 100% of the time and I was retard.
Plus DaS2 felt super samey and I never saw the point. But now that I've had years off I feel it would be okay. Just wondering if it's fun.
