Anything new?
Any news on blue pyro?
>/v/s going to slowly spoil DS3 over the next 2 weeks
>>332264103
wait i still have finish 1 and then play and beat 2 so dont talk about 3 until i do ok?
>>332265106
You know that it's been scientifically proven that foreknowledge of plot points does not diminish emotional or intellectual reaction to them when experience a narrative.
anor londo got kinda fucked by aldrich didnt it
>>332265016
So just stand there and get killed build. yeah.. great.
>>332265393
why did he die?
>>332265421
actually that dragon breath will be very usefull when you invace , gankers like to stand close so you just run around a corner and start the animation when they catch up you roast them
>>332264103
here is how game runs on max settings @ 1080p on geforce gtx 950 and i5 4690k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NH-VBoACE0
>>332265708
evil pope conquered anor londo, captured gwyndolin and had him being slowly fed to aldrich
everyone died
So I hear Sorcery is kinda shitty?
Confirm/Deny?
>>332265764
That is if it actually does damage this time
>>332265865
>pillars still standing after the O&S fight
>>332265887
yeah sorceries arekill yourself frogposter
>>332265865
if only we didn't kill ornstein and smough and seath they could have stopped it
>>332265887
the issue is that sorceries and miracles aren't currently scaling with int and faith. hexes and pyromancies are scaling normally.
we won't know how good sorcery is until april 12th with the day one patch.
>>332265941
aldrich destroys them during his fight too, i think its canon at this point that they just regenerate after you rest at a bonfire
>>332266018
But do they look cool?
How late in the game is the Chosen Undead boss fight? Final boss?
>>332265393
>They killed the giant blacksmith
THOSE BASTARDS
>>332265363
could you link me to said study? I think knowing for example Akane is Zero in 999 would tarnish the experience since you'd know everything she is doing is a plan
>>332265016
>roooaaarr lmao
>>332266093
yeah.
>>332266286
its not only the chosen undead
the soul description cleay implies its the incarnation of every single lord of cinder ever, so everyone who linked the flame
>>332265016
That dragon is practically a skeleton.
It doesnt look too great.
>>332266436
>>332266093
No
There's one fuck huge laser sorcery though
>>332266373
http://www.wired.com/2011/08/spoilers-dont-spoil-anything/
>>332266619
That is all I ever wanted. Anything like that four laser beam spell in Dark Souls 2?
>>332266536
If the fire doesn't get linked, what happens to the world in DaSIII?
>>332265393
So Aldrich basically went on a rampage and ate Lordran?
Did he eat Drangleic too?
>>332266789
Nope
You can spit a boulder out as a pyromancy.
>>332266835
here is his lore
>>332265393
I think this is a shoop.
>>332266052
they kind of retconned Anor Londo's appearance, huh? The only building I recognize is the main castle. No lift but that building on the side looks kind of like the painting hall.
>>332266895
it is not, you revist Anor Londo (mainly the cathedral and areas that weren't expolored in Dark Souls 1)
>>332266895
and you're thinking wrong
>>332267000
its been about.. oh 6000+ years anon, most of the fucking area has been leveled to shit, the fac tthe Cathedral is still standing is fucking amazing.
>>332267000
its just different areas than in das1, except for the area right before aldrich which is copy pasted
>>332266893
Eh, so it seems he just ate Amazing Trap and possibly Fluffy tail.
Who do the ashes belong to? I'm guessing Gwyn.
>>332267203
Priscella is in the game and is not eaten or dead.
he ate Nito, Bed of Chaos, and Gwyndolin.
>>332267236
>Priscella is in the game
no she's not
>>332266893
>he dreamt of a pale girl in hiding.
So Gwyndolin always wanted to be a little girl. Also sounds like he fucked the hope out of that little trap ass
>>332267273
its talking about Priscella
>>332267273
>lifehunt scythe
The girl in hiding is Priscilla
literally trap ring
>>332267293
But Pris isn't a little girl, she's a disgusting half-breed.
>>332267273
Yep, exactly. He found the little queer, and fucked his ass raw. In the process of said fucking, Gwyndolin's knowledge of Anal Lando got passed onto Aldrich.
>>332267330
Nice
>>332267330
>and was said to behave like a sullen brooding goddess
>>332267330
>causes males to perform female actions
so like menstruating, just curious haha
I've seen people say the level of your weapon is taken into account when determining your invasion range? In theory I get that it's to prevent twinking, but what's to stop someone from stripping naked, invading, then putting their shit back on
>>332267330
Gwynyvere was the best child for a reason.
>>332267436
i wonder what it smells like haha
>>332267236
*priscilla's daughter
>>332267330
But what does it do?
>>332267447
its your highest level weapon in your inventory, only way to stop it is puting it in your item box but you cant access that during invasion, i don't think you upgrade armors in 3
>>332264103
Wait those arms aren't part of the scenery?
I thought they were huge and they were way off in the distance.
That's a shame because that looks really cool when you look at it like that.
>play it on friend's PS4
>Circle is accept, X is run/jump/roll
>>332267531
It's like that coffin in das2.
>>332267447

>>332267576
It's like you've never played a japanese game before.
>>332267521
But she was in a fucking painting with just raven asses? How did she have a daughter.
>>332267618

>>332267632
she could just.. leave you know.
>>332267521
>sitting down
>no access to tail
>>332267521
That's Flann's daughter fampai, which is why Gwyndolin is her onii-chan
>>332267646
wot? why would you need to read moon to change your ps4 settings?
>>332267618
Illusion Gwynyvere
>>332267657
Why would she then?
The world is fucked and everything is undead and hollow.
>>332267712
fuck, I automatically read that as game settings, my bad
my friend didnt want me going in and swapping his configurations just for my playthrough
>>332267762
your friend is a dick
So this guy who is devoured these gods, was he the protag from Dark Souls 1?
Is Armor still upgradable? I really want to see some of the new endgame armors and weapons. Boss weapons were always one of my favorite parts of Dark Souls. Please be a boss straight sword that looks cool...
>>332267814

>>332267814
No that's the faggot giving you a thumbs up.

Anyone been keeping up with spoilers, is there a WHAT A TWEEST moment like in Bloodborne?
>>332265393
so is this after ds 1? when does this happen?
>>332267826
cant upgrade your armor anymore no
>>332267838
Dark souls 1 fan here
Wouldnt that be absolutely retarded? They wouldnt just throw some shittily written character like that as part of the main plot and lore of the series?
>>332267923
Whats the fucking point of that?
Jesus Christ From why would you make 90% of your armors irrelevant
>>332267923
Whatever that staff sword is, I fucking want. That will be my main weapon.
>>332267910
You fight the Firstborn. Patches. that's it.
What was the TWEEST in BB? 'because I don't remember a twist, unless you're talking about the Moon Presence
>>332267236
I thought we already killed all of them.
>>332268035
Aldrich's diet is Man>dead gods>living traps
>>332268019
Aliums everywhere.
If you played on launch without having /v/ spoil it and you didn't immediately think Lovecraft when you found Madman knowledge, that was the twist.
>>332268019
Game was completely advertised as fighting a beast plague, no knowledge of eldritch horror shit then boom Cthulus
>>332268035
Dark Souls 2 pretty much explained that Lords are so powerful (or their souls are) that they come back in different forms. You didn't kill the soul of Gwyn, you just killed Gwyns body.
>>332267980
>wanted to roll through the game with herald armor
>its starter gear
it's not fair
they should follow MonHun's example where lower tier armors can be upgraded more times to ensure you can take your favorites as far as you like as long as you have the higher end upgrade mates while higher tier gets less upgrades overall but starts stronger
>>332267236
How could he eat Nito and the Bed if it's canonically required for the CU to kill them?
>>332267980
armor gives percentage reduction to armor now. So heavy armor gives more reduction than light armor, etc etc etc. Upgrading armor pretty much never fucking mattered anyway and this way is far better.
>>332268183
>they should follow MonHun's example where lower tier armors can be upgraded more times to ensure you can take your favorites as far as you like
Thats not in modern MH games anymore.
But yes, its pretty fucking stupid of From to make it so you cant actually use whatever armor you want anymore.
>>332268187
The corpse is still around after you kill 'em.
>>332267914
ages after 1, its the game that ends all cycles
>>332267892
im sorry but its not
>>332267943
aldrich is no joke man, he was some dude who liked eating people so much he eventually became so powerful he took a liking to eat gods and became a giant formless black blob
>>332267910
final boss is kind of a tweest, you fight the embodiment of all people who linked the flame
the boss even uses different player builds and shit and then in the second phase uses gwyn's moveset
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqrS2rBieDM
>>332267980
some armors actually give you lots of defense
>>332268004
It's a staff, and the sword is from a spell
>>332268238
>But yes, its pretty fucking stupid of From to make it so you cant actually use whatever armor you want anymore.
Oh you can. Armor is like DeS in that it barely fucking matters because bosses hit like a god damn truck.
>>332268183
Then don't get hit fag.
Aesthetics has always trumped actual defense in these games.
>>332268232
>armor gives percentage reduction to armor now
Ooooo, that makes more sense then.
Right, my bad.

>>332268259

Okay that's just now fair.
>>332268259
Fuck my waifu ate shit
>>332267980
it doesn't. In dark souls 1 a shit armor upgraded was still worse than a good armor upgraded most of the time, this just takes out the titanite inflation
>>332267980
fashion souls is waaaaaayy better than min max fagging with certain armor pieces that end up looking like a clusterfuck of rags, dressed and some fag helm
so kys
>>332268383
Have you? The reason its fashion souls is because you can make any armor relevant late game through upgrading.
Not that it matters since armor is now a different system.
>>332268447
No armor need upgrading though because defense hardly mattered at all in Dark Souls.
>>332268382
All of the spells look so cool that I am tempted to make an over levelled character just to try them all out
>>332267714
I need sauce on this Google aint giving anything.

>>332268702
They're for if you want to PvP mainly or co-op minorly, if you don't then you never had to care about them.
>Can't upgrade armour anymore.
NG+ and beyond is going to be a fucking nightmare again isn't it?
>>332267980
i have never upgraded armor on any souls game ever even on ng++
Only weapons and just barely. Im happy about fashion souls
>>332268798
its literally called the kiln of the first flame
>>332268835
the game is balanced around it.
its all percentage based now.
>>332268678
Just Ciaran forcing Loli Priscilla to tongue fuck her box.Look up Gray Bear on the boorus.
>>332265016
So you get a Stand?
>>332268884
hmm, just with all the flowers seems odd.
anyways, I don't see how this is any different than Dark Souls 2.
we are just another wheel in the Cycle Cog, again, this doesn't resolve anything.
>>332268904
Do we have info on NG+ yet? All of my Souls files are on NG+++ or higher so I want to know how much bullshit I'm in store for.
Who is or are the boss/es in Anor Londo revisited?

>>332268819
I get what theyre are used for and why, but they were really only relevant in dark souls 1, ninja flippping havels would be rampant if there was no meta, but in dark souls 2 and 3 with poise acting as hyper armor and defense not making too much of a difference the only thing a restricted soul level does is prevent people from having practically unlimited stamina. Alot of people claim a lower sl promotes variety in fights but thats simply not true, it just means my character can only be good at like 2 things best so i never used the rest on that character, if anything that hurts variety

>ages upon ages have gone bye, and even the most powerful, most knowledgeable people from DS1 are dead.
and yet somehow fucking Andre is just cruising along fine as always.
I want to understand the lore. so the story goes the flame of life was about to burn out, so a powerful dude sacrificed himself to temporarily keep it burning. and then more powerful dudes had to keep sacrificing just to keep the flame barely lit. the dim light caused all kinds of unnatural undead type shit to occur.
then 6000 years later there has been no technological progress past the castle age or updates with the light situation... is it like terminal cancer apocalypse that just lingers for 6000 years? this is too grim dark for me. what role does the chosen undead play?
>>332264156
Those are DS2 beta spells.
What the fuck does frostbite do?
>>332269239
Miyazaki already commented that it's some kinda family business
>>332269239
Not the same Andre, anon.
>>332269239
Job security, man. People always need weapons and armor and need them repaired.
DaS3 has the best weapon pool of the series I swear
shit like the Astora Greatsword or the Executioner's Greatsword makes my dick rock fucking hard
cool weapons that you can get pretty early on with unique movesets get me going
>>332269239
>>332269252
dark souls isn't about lore
flow of time is convoluted. but perhaps...
>>332269239
Neither of us want to see you go hollow.
>>332269252
When your entire world and society keeps crumbling and falling apart because a fire goes out after a while, it's hard to make technological advances.
The Souls universe is almost always in a constant state of decay and death.
>>332269112
Well the argument for a lower soul level was never about variety.
It was an argument for what was rationally easy to get, while providing a build that does everything it has to.
Having a high SL doesn't imbalance the game because a skillful 120 is always going to be a medicore lvl 857 (or whatever it is). The thing is, getting to like SL 857 takes forever with grinding. SL120 is usually around the time you finish the game and go into NG+ while also being easy to get to.
That's why SL 100 is pretty popular. Because most builds still function perfectly at 100 while also being an easy SL to get to.
>>332269349
>Executioner's Greatsword

>>332266893
>>332267236
Wait how was he able to eat Papa Nito and the Bead of Chaos? Is it cannon for the chosen undead to not link the fire then?
>>332269486
They have some fucking good ass architects at least.
>>332269543
He ate a tree (or a dead maggot) and some spooky skeletons
>>332269501
yea that's another thing, I was mostly thinking about 2 alot of people were arguing about a level meta(even though it doesn't matter) and alot of people said you should be able to use anything.
>>332269486
Well, not really, but the further along it goes the less and less the linking actually works.
The last linking barely does fucking anything even though the people well prepared for the eventuality as linking the fire is common knowledge by DaS 3.
There will be thousands of years of 'everything is alll fine' if the fire fades, the age of ancients comes back and then fires come back aka Dark souls 1 intro.
>trap killed
FUCK YOU MYAZAKI YOU HACKNow I've gotta draw porn of hiim and Aldritch
>>332269616

>>332269543
CU was either a chump that didn't accomplish anything or he's Ludleth as no other Lord of Cinder fits his description.
>>332269678
What does aldritch look like though
is dual wielding viable in this game
>>332269678
Vore is shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfg-ER6QJMM
Jesus Christ...
>>332269714
So that means Dark Souls 1 didn't fucking happen 10/10
>>332269678
Kill yourself, nigger.
>>332269616
The thing about using anything is that it usually doesn't matter to most people. In a fight you'll pop a pyromancy or maybe some hexes, but rarely does a fight call for you to use every weapon in the game or all the miracles, spells, or pyromancies.
Also SL never mattered in DS2 because SM meant you would inevitably fight those SL 857 or whatever.
>>332269756
Dual weapons are now a type of weapon, regular dual wielding is as viable as DaS1
>>332269781
>There are people who still don't understand the concept of alternate worlds/timelines.
This shit has been sorted out since Demon's Souls you humongous faggot how are you still this dumb?
>>332269850
No offense but I don't even think Miyazaki understands how crazy the Infinite worlds concept he used to justify the multiplayer is and I think most of the series runs without it ever being a thing.
>>332269771
agreed

>Not enough expendable cash to upgrade my PC to something good before the game comes out
Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Dark Souls 2 kinda left a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm always willing to play a new Souls game. God knows I won't try to play the game, even if I have to play on the lowest settings, but boy that would really take away from some of the experience.
Where's theleak?
>>332269850
>he doesn't understand that Lothric is a convergence of all lands linked to the fire throughout time
Yeah no even if it's a different timeline Lothric still connects them in one place thus CU didn't do shit
>>332270010
It'll be up in two hours
>>332269945
>he used to justify the multiplayer
Doesn't matter if that's the case, next you're going to say "boss fights are just there to justify making the game a game". The fact is, parallel worlds is a thing and that's why you summon players and NPC's instead of just meeting them and fighting with them all the time like when Biorr entered The Penetrator boss fight and solo'd it for you.
>>332270017
But they did do something, just like everyone who ever linked the fire did something. The worlds just converged in a way where this is the anor londo you get to explore instead of any other possibilities.
>>332270010
ETA 30 minutes
>>332270106
I don't get this meme.
>>332268835
>>332268904
Wait, what? Does armor scale with one of your stats now like vit or something?
>>332270268
Just give him time
>>332266052
That looks a lot like the Cathedral Ward from Bloodborne
guess they werent lying when they said its "reused assets:the game"
>>332270272
Apparently armor gives % damage reduction, so doesn't matter how hard the enemy hits, you always get the same benefit.
>>332266612
Nigga that's a lizardfolk
>>332270141
>The worlds just converged in a way where this is the anor londo you get to explore instead of any other possibilities.
No the worlds you visit in DS3 are homes of the lords of cinder i.e beings that linked the flame. And there is no word in the game the flame was linked more than the number of lords so the flame was linked 5 times.
>>332270353
Whatever.
>>332269820
I'm asking is the dual weapon type viable?
>>332270141
>The fact is, parallel worlds is a thing and that's why you summon players
It's a justification of how multiplayer works and allows From to take shortcuts like "How did Solaire get there". It's so they didn't have to do the Biorr thing again.
Also it's not the same as boss fights being there to justify the game. The bosses are linked to the lore and story. The time convolution is just sorta there.
Storywise it really doesn't fucking matter. Time and place are said to be convoluted but the story of DS is very linear and the world itself is mostly connected like any fantasy world is. Time flows linearly in DS1. Gywn found the flame. Gywn sacrifices himself to the flame to keep it lit. DS1 happens.
You even go back in time with Artorias of the Abyss.
Multi-universe exist, but they theoretically exist for everything even if they never factor into a plot.
Can I skip DS2 and go straight to this?
>>332270336
I... I'm not sure how to feel about this. Does that mean dexfags and light armor builds are going to be more fucked because their armor has less damage reduction percentages, and tanks will be even stronger? Like... Part of me feels like this is a good idea, but I'm so use to upgrading armor and making it stronger, I'm just not sure how to feel about this. Guess I'll find out when I play it...
Should I buy this game?
I was pretty peeved about Scholar of the First Sin having already bought 2, but I ended up caving. Fortunately I avoided buying any DLC for the first version so I didn't spend EVERY shekel I had.
Should I just get the deluxe and then go extinct when the definitive version comes out?
>>332270578
Yes.
>>332270513
You're asking this before the game is even out.
How the fuck do we know now?
>>332270578
yeah
You gotta be aware that the first 4 lords souls can survive in other people for eternity

Hm, I suppose so. It'll be nice not having to upgrade all four pieces of an armor set for PvP, and I guess a set percentage makes more sense "realistically". What was the armor like in Bloodborne? Was it upgradable stuff like the other Souls games?
>>332270684
But anon I had already finished Prepare to Die Edition three times by the time Dark Souls 2 came out.
>he wears armor for its stats
>>332270783
Oh I was being "trolled". My bad.
>>332270783
It has good bosses and the royal wood has a different layout than the shaded wood.
>>332270578
how about you wait until the game comes out and people will actually know stuff about it :)
>>332270783
Better boss fights, but I agree, the DLC areas are fucking terrible.
No level for first boss = lazy
Level for Artorias is reasonable
Level to Manus is fucking ridiculous and has 2 bonfires
Kalameet is basically just backtracking through Artorias' area and you basically have to die to trigger the fight.
Boss fights are the best in the game, but the areas and what you get pretty much fucking suck unless you're a sorcerer, and even then, Darkbead trivializes the game so hard.
lel dark souls copying from divinity 2
kek kek kek bankrupt series, for "hardcore" gamers
>>332270783
>any level in DaS excluding painted world
>good
>>332265363
What bullshit is that. I always completely lose interest in a game like DaS3 when I know everything before hand.
Exploring is half the fun.
>>332270916
The game IS out, dippy dingle.
>>332270989
The firelink - undeadburg and undead parish is literally one of the best, well thought out areas ever made in a video game.
It just sucks because everything else pales by comparison. The way the shortcuts unlock and the vertical element making theres only really be 3 bonfires that interconnect to so many areas is amazing.
So the CU in DS3 can be either Ludleth or Aldrich.
I'm more inclined to believe it's Aldrich as he is a being that devours others and absorbing and powering himself with souls was CU's main source of strength. Of course Ludleth would be cooler as while he may look like a corpse but he is the only lord that wasn't some abnormal being just a baddass human.
So does anyone know what the durability is like in this game? Is it fucked up like in Dark Souls 2? Will hitting a wall a few times break my weapon?
>>332270869
You couldn't upgrade any armour at all, and their defence values were only useful for status effect resistances, so because they were useless, everyone was wearing something different.
>>332271110
no, out in REAL LIFE.
GOSH
>>332271154
>swing one too many times
>hit a corpse
>weapon loses 10% durability
Still not as bad as durability being tied to framerate, I suppose.
>>332271167
Jeez, that kinda sounds boring. I mean, I'm all for Fashion Souls and everything, but part of the fun was trying to get good defense and poise on top of light rolling and looking good. Like I get it, the game was focused entirely on dodging and avoiding enemies rather than tanking it, but still... I guess the most I can hope for is that the armors look good and give plenty to work with for Fashion Souls or cosplaying (which they probably will), and that they aren't completely worthless in defense or poise.
Is there any untrustworthy NPCs? Someone like Yurt, who will murder other NPCs? I mean real consequences, not just Patches with his shenanigans
>>332271605
No the "new" system gives you good defense without tedious upgrading. Now you put a armor that fits your situation and preference basically weight to defense ratio.
>>332271605
Yeah it's one of the few little flaws Bloodborne had.
Another one of those problems was items you find were very rarely something decent. 90% of the items you find on the ground were blood vials or coldblood (like 'soul of a hero' and stuff) and all your equipment was bought from the hub after certain points in the game.
Other than that, it's my favourite Souls game yet, but I hope Dark Souls 3 is better.
>>332271605
>part of the fun was trying to get good defense and poise on top of light rolling and looking good
You can still do that,
So if this is the last cycle and its apparent by the sun literally melting, does the game hint at what's bound to happen in the future?
Like why are undead turning into abyss monsters and trees and shit, do any of the items or dialogue vaguely explain that? Is the world just returning to its original grey state?
>>332271729
There's a Mephisto-like woman that will tempt you into killing npcsby saying they want to kill you and overall building your mistrust to others
>>332270632
a ton of people have played jap version
>>332271820
There are supposedly 4 endings. What happens next depends on you.
>>332271729
The guy who gives you the cracked red eye orbs wields a shotel if you attack him.
>>332270632
because its been out for a week?
>>332271893can you hint at a few of them here?with spoiler tags obviously.
>>332271605
Well you got defense by leveling up. So regardless of build you weren't squishy no matter the armor. But BB didn't care about armor. The theme and lore had it being useless against beasts because they'd claw right through it. BB also has guns on the level of late 1800s and even later so armor didn't matter against men either.
Souls 3 doesn't have upgrading but armor choice is more useful defense wise.
But truly it never fucking matter. A full havel ninja-flipper was a faggot because of poise and dodge i-frames, the defense was just a cherry on the top.
A greatshield will always protect you more than a suit of armor (even fully upgraded) ever did.
>>332271852
>>332271942
The meta hasn't formed and most people haven't even analyzed the game.
You're asking if an entire weapon class is viable before the NA launch has even happened. Nobody fucking knows. It's speculation now.
It's the same shit with twinblades and how some people said they were shit until builds were created to take advantage of them.
Nobody knows. And they weren't until a meta forms.
what does aldritch look like
>>332271969
I can do that for you, lets see here.
Ending 1:Dark souls 'default' except you're a failure
Ending 2a):Dark souls 'non-default' ending with a waifu twist and a positive note.
Ending 2b)Demon's souls bully-ending with similar ramifications
Ending 3)You're married and are the king now and it's all fine and dandy if you're a human and shieett.
I honestly can't describe the third ending 'vaguely' unless you want me to spell it out 100%.
>>332271827
So she's trying to have you start a self-fulfilling prophecy? Is she hot?
>>332271605
Some bosses are simply easier by poise tanking, mainly:
>Gravelord Nito
>4Fags
Wearing Havels or Giants trivializes both those encounters. Nito is kind of a joke anyways.
>>332271969
I've seen only one and heard about two othersThe one I've seen ends in killing the soul of cinder and the player kindling and sitting by the bonfire the soul was guarding while the camera zooms outYou have the choice to walk out during that leaving the bonfire not kindled - haven't seen what happens thenThird one is connected to Kaathe/darkness and supposedly you "marry" some girl that Kaathe set for you as one of the steps of getting it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVGC3P_J_8c is the "marriage"
>>332272167
Do it.
>>332272167
Nah, that's all. Thanks for the hints.
>>332272167Fourth ending sounds like fucking bullshit to me. Third sounds like you just murder fucking everyone and everything and say 'fuck the world' and leave the fire to die.
>>332272163
Like your dick, but bigger.
>>332272167
Wow that's underwhelming.
So does this manage to live up as being the best Dark Souls game in the series? Or at the very least, substantially better than 2?
>>332268259
What does that picture imply? That Quelana went to the fair lady and died with her? If so, that's not that bad.
>>332271738
I guess I can get behind that, I can see the benefits to it.
>>332271789
I didn't buy a PS4 because BB would have been the only game I bought, so I passed on it. I don't remember/know exactly, but aren't there a lot less weapons and the spells are all just stat effects?
>>332272004
Yeah, it makes sense lore wise why it's all coats and suits rather than armor, especially since dodging is 50% of combat. I've always been good at rolling, but I'm a sperg and like to have some nice defense as well.
>>332272294
Yes it's better in a pure fanservice way. It's everything you wanted from DS2 in plot and gameplay.
How in the fuck do you reverse hollowing? Also where the hell are all the covenants? Should I really not have found one by now?
>>332272294
Much better than 2 but a deal shorter.
It will never ever be better than 1. Because nobody will ever admit to themselves that what they thought was the game of that generation would ever be surpassed.
>>332272163
a cutie
>>332272372
>but a deal shorter
Probably just making room for the inevitable one or two expansions of dlc.
>>332272341
>but I'm a sperg and like to have some nice defense as well.
leveling up gets you that. Wearing the high def armors like Constable chest helps with it too. Never use the shields though, they're joke items.
>>332272372
Dark Souls 1 was brilliant up to obtaining the lord vessel, then it really went to shit in my opinion. I ended up getting consistently more enjoyment out of Dark Souls 2.
>>332267923
was that a fucking hulk hogan pose he did?
>>332271969
1. link the fire at the last moment - still just a temporary fix
2. dont link the fire - age ends - you become the dark lord
3. dont link the fire - age ends - challenge the gods' fucked up system
4. idk
What platform is this? PC?
>>332272438
Is the darkmoon set in the game? I've only seen the bow so far.
