FROOOOOOOOOOOM
with authority.
that squeeze is pretty terrifying
i don't want to be squeezed
Asylum demon the 4th?
Failure means you never should have tried.
>>332654425
Am i missing something? The other grab with the tree boss showed how fucked up that hitbox is, this one doesn't have that problem. tried lsowing it down too, what am i missing?
FUCK GRAB ATTACKS
>>332654746
The boss isn't supposed to throw you off the bridge, if you survive the grab he throws you away ON the bridge.

MAD CUZ BAD
>>332654425
Lol.
Fucking saved.
>>332654894
Are you the boss here, anon?
>>332654425
Without laying too many spoilers on me: How much does this game rely on the first one in terms of creativity? Every time I look at stuff from this game -- I'm avoiding most of it my worry has caused me to look into it more, I don't want another dark souls 2 -- there's something almost directly from the first. it has me worrying that it's just going to be pandery and over-reliant on the first one.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH OP NOW DARK SOULS III IS FOREVER RUINED FOR ME I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY
is that supposed to be a boss? how come there's no health bar at the bottom of the screen?
>>332654894
Pretty damn sure it's just an angled fling in a random direction and double bad rolls yielded "off the side he goes." with this one.
I really hate the 'trial and error' element they introduced with Blood Borne.
>>332654425
>rolls into attack
>doesn't get hit
WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW
>>332654425
is it me or the demon looks more fluffy and cute rather than monstrous and menacing lol
>>332654894
It's not the only grab in the game that does this.
>>332655362
More of a mini-boss.
>>332655362
It is clearly normal enemy, just like giant crab.
>That wiggling model
>>332655532
He's made entirely out of ash.
>>332655470
What about Bloodborne was trial and error compared to Dark Souls?
>>332655362
Its an optional enemy at the top of the forest fag area. Killing it gets you a soul you can trade for havel's ring.
>>332654425
HOPE YOU DODGE IT FAGGOT
>normal enemy
>grab move deals 80% of total health
bosses in previous souls games didn't hit this hard
>>332654425
nice, fucking owned
also, this fucker looks like the vanguard, smelter demon and asylum demon meshed together
>>332655091
It has a lot of fan service and pandering, and tries it best to make you forget Dark Souls 2.
That said, it feels more like a mix between DeS (for the atmosphere and pace) and DaS2 (for the gameplay), with lore from DaS1 and items/armor/weapons from all the Souls altogether.
It's a "best of" and in my opinion the best way to conclude the series. It's way, way better than Dark Souls 2 and you can tell a lot more care went into it.
It's also linear as fuck, even more than DaS2 but that's not a bad thing, I'm just telling you so you know what you're getting into.
>>332655793
Neither bosses in this game.
FROM fucked balance hard, well at least in jap version.
>>332655793
Grab attacks always do Xbox-hueg famage because if you get hit by them, you're bad lmao
Also, OP can't even call hitbox shenanigans this time
Why does this game have no fucking color?

Thats what you get for standing that close to an unarmed hand of a souls boss. 5 games into the series you should realize not to make rookie mistakes like that

>Think of it as a tasteful take on DaS2 concept,
Pretty much this. It has a lot in common with DeS and DaS2 gameplay wise without much inspiration from DaS aside from setting.
>>332655906
Bloodborne also had way better dodging and more plentiful healing, plus the rally mechanic. Of course the bosses are going to do more damage. If you literally get 1-shot, level VIT.
>>332655906
You haven't played BB have you?
Only boss thats done that to me is BSB, and its easy as fuck to avoid its one hit kill attack.
>>332655864
>It's also linear as fuck, even more than DaS2 but that's not a bad thing

At least this time it's not a real boss. I try not to spoil myself too much but from what I saw it look like there will be more minibosses, that's great.

If you wanted to be throw towards the center of the bridge or something why not keep yourself centered with the bridge rather than being off to the sides of it.

Not him but it feels more like what DaS2 should have been than anything else.
But don't take my word for it, after all I only played the game for 15 hours and you 0, you can just wait for release and see for yourself.
I went in with the same mindset as you so I wish you the best anon!
10/10 for funny fuck up. it almost makes sense though for a demon to do that. "eh, don't feel like fighting this little shit. FLY LITTLE MAN!"
>>332655793
uh what grab attacks have almost always been fatal if not highly damaging.
because they are often slow with a short range.

Demon's Souls was more linear than Dark Souls 2 and it was still great
>>332655906
I don't know wheter it's because I already played a lot of souls games but I thought that Bloodborne was the easiest one, I killed most bosses on my first try and I never died a ton of times because of one boss in particular.
>>332659432
Right at the start of the webm, to the left above, it looks like a balcony or broken bridge or something, skelly probably sheev'd from there

It isn't from's fault you use shifty outdated hardware.
>>332655906
Holy shit you must be terrible not only does BB allow you to take the most damage out of any of the souls games easily with 20 healing vials there is almost 0 start up frames to dodge attacks.
>>332656737
Did anyone notice that this is literally just the Old Hero from Demon's Souls?
I notice that magic has no webm
Guess it's shit this game.
also the flaming demon fist weapon has a retard weapon art
>>332659562
He's a hidden enemy that appears in like two areas and is insanely easy. You don't even get a slab from him anymore.

It's a souls game you have to be aware of your surroundings for boss fightsjust gid gud
>>332659568
I'm okay with that because it was the first souls game but it's dissapointing to hear that it's not going to be as open as Dark Souls 1 and more like the crappy Dark Souls 2.
Hell, even Bloodborne was not linear.
>>332655864
DaS2 wasn't really linear at all
You had a few places you could tackle off the bat in any order and with a little work you could tackle the rest if the available paths from Majula
I don't get the linear thing. BB is also fairly linear but the way each area is designed is about 10x better than DaS1 and is more in line with DeS which is great
>>332659809
Ornstein has done a fusion dance with the pursuer
>>332659809
No but that fight has been downgraded from the trailer, it has a storm with rain and rubble flying while ingame it's just shitty smoke
>>332659742
Vials heal 40% hp mate. Estus can easily heal twice that. Estus is also as fast as vials now.
>>332659525
You're a manlet.
>>332659854
The game is more a sequel to DeS then anything, or maybe a remake with some of these areas.

Seems like they only kept the setting from DaS.
>>332659568
>least linear game in the franchise more linear than DaS2
Stop this retardation. Just because each level doesn't have fucking corridors connecting them doesn't make it linear.
>>332659908
Well DaS2 had a variety of linear branches while DaS1 was way more itnerconnected even through the more advanced areas. Only the Lords areas are linear because each is just the continuation of a previous area, DaS2 was like this everywhere.

That's not a cleric. A real holy man smites his enemy with the power of the gods, not shitty man-made iron bookends. That's what paladins and other cannon fodder are for.
>>332660285
DaS2 at release had magic at a good place. It needed a nerf, but not as significant as they did later.
I'm still conflicted as to what I should go with in DaS3. I've done a Miracle run before in the games but I enjoyed going full strength and two handed more. At the same time I've never gone for a Sorcery or Pyromancy run, so I might as well do one of them now, but now that I'm reading comments saying that magic is pretty 'meh' in the game I kind of lose interest in it.
ah this brings back memories...

>>332660951
You can dodge out of boss combos too and heal. It's really not that bad. Unless you completely ignored Vit the only attacks that should one shot you are heavily projected in advance.
>>332660807
I have the Plat for BB as well it easily lets you heal the most of all the games. I don't even see it as a negative since I think it's the game that puts you on par the best with the bosses you fight.

Also I played my first time with a lot of VIT because I though it was a smart idea. It was not. The game is unplayable without a lot of STR, otherwise boss fights take long enough to fall asleep

There are no homing attacks in DaS3 that have the broken magnetism of DaS2. Most of the knights in the game bash the player with their shield if you try and fish for a BS, seriously most have like three different bashes for various situations.

Ludwig literally has a charge that kills you. BSB has a grab that leaves you at 1% poisoned at best.
Gascoigne's beast mode can combo you to death. Rom can kill you even with a spider jumping from outside your camera field of vision.
Gehrman, even though he takes forever to charge the attack, has an AOE that instantly kills you and cannot be interrupted for no reason whatsoever, even though the attack takes so long that it would be interruptible in any other moment of the game
>>332655864
Which sword is that, and what build are you running?

>>332661637
>also I played my first time with a lot of a defensive stat but nothing in my offensive stats
Yea it does sound like a bad idea to do in Rollborne.
>>332661969
BSBs grab will one shot you but it's hard to actually get hit by it. Ludwig's charge is you mistime your dodge will also oneshot
>>332658494
Well it's probably becausethe Iron Golem is just another goalpost set up by Frampt/ Gwyndolin in order to test "Chosen Undeads". They want to find one worthy to relieve Gwyn and prolong the end of the Age of Fire for just long enough to have another "Chosen Undead" to surpass them.
So he probably is trying to test you without really fucking you up. If I had to guess as to why he would do that.
>>332661640
I had a much easier time with the Hiede Knights personally. Maybe just because on my first run I farmed them for like 2 hours to get the armor.

I'm going to assume to you meant "can't count humanity"
But I've used humanity as full heal many times in DaS. Granted that was when estus ran out.
>>332662778
It's probably because the boss chucking you off a tower in a move with a disjointed hitbox after going through Sen's funhouse would feel kinda like bullshit.

>>332659562

REEE HOW COULD THEY DO THIS
>>332664348
It took literally months of post release frame-by-frame testing to figure that out, and even after that you won't know unless you look up the breakpoints on the internet. The game also doesn't even tell you in any way the ADP actually helps your rolling.
>>332655660
ash is fluffy desu
>>332662842
2 of my favorite franchises but that's apples and oranges. To be completly honest Dark Souls is much more challenging than the first playthrough of NGB and NG2 because you can't play on hard/mentor yet. You can button mash your way through all of the NG reboot games on normal which I can't say the same for Souls games. That said even hard mode/mentor crushes DaS in terms of difficulty and ontop of that Master Ninja/Ultimate blows those difficulties out the water.

Faith is complementary to melee.
Heals, knock back, buffs, and general support stuff.
Lighting spear isn't supposed to be the go to offensive means. It's meant to be the option to fight enemies that you can't reach.

Not even the guy you responded to but you can't deny DkS2 had the best online and PvP.

No twink wore full Havel's. You have never played Dark Souls.
>>332666915
SM is bad, though, and SL matchmaking with limits to connections based on equipment is infinitely better, as is the introduction of covenants like the Way of Blue-- all of which DaSIII implemented. I don't agree with making hosts + phantoms the priority when one invades, but it's a much better solution than SM.

Anyone who's complaining about one hit kills in BB decided to go through the game never leveling up their VIT. Oddly enough, you'd get one shot by just about every boss if you tried the same thing in Dark Souls. Coincidentally, BB is an exclusive. It's just fucking faggots whining that they can't play another Souls game.

ADAPTABILITY WAS SHIT AND WHOEVER THOUGHT IT UP SHOULD GET GET SUPER DIHARRHEA!
So is Dark Souls 3 actually good? The price tag seems a bit absurd.
>>332655906
Bloodborne was harder than DaS in a lot of areas and easier in others.
The bosses were far harder IMO, they had like 5x the HP pools of DaS bosses while you did the same relative damage as your DaS character would have, the also did far more damage to you because you had no poise or heavy armour/shields so you literally couldn't tank damage.
On the easier side, if you played without a shield in DaS, dodging was easier and more generous in Bloodborne, and the healing was faster.
Chalice and DLC bosses are the hardest content in the whole series IMO though. Oprhan on NG has like 19k HP, compare that to Manus, which had 6k HP, requiring you to play far more consistently over a longer period of time.
Bosses in Bloodborne also have more phases and a far larger movesets, and are in general much faster (which balances with how fast the Hunter is).
>>332671672
Wait for a sale, too much recycled shit to justify that price.
>>332671672
>The price tag seems a bit absurd.
It is the same price as other games, what are you on about?
>>332659562
cleric beast number 2 had a fun twist to it at least

>>332661426
God that UI is pig disgusting, it literally looks like an untextured placeholder
Why the fuck didn't they just keep the sexy as fuck UI style from Bloodborne REEEEEEE
What's dual wielding like in this? Same shit as DaS2?
>>332661918
People have been posting it here for days.
>>332671521
Just invest in it broseph. You end up with a better roll than in DS1. The real problem is the level matching. A dodge-heavy build vs a tank just isn't possible because the souls acquired mean everyone will end up investing in it.
>>332672382
>What's dual wielding like in this? Same shit as DaS2?
There is no such thing. Some weapons just have have two handed style.
>>332672516
Wat. So you can't equip 2 straight swords in each hand and powerstance them for dual wield anymore?
What the fug does your left hand do then? Only for shields and shit now like BB?
>>332671521
>>332672514
>adaptability
>souls acquired
Wait
This is not about DaS3, right?
>>332672632
There are like dedicated dual wield weapons, there is no longer dual wielding like in DaS 2 which is shit
>>332672382
Weapon use is more like Bloodborne. A small shield lets you parry, while a mid shield lets your character go into a poise stance to do different attack sequences. The weapon in the image you quoted is specifically an akimbo blade, which has a default state of a single sword.*
*I'm talking out of my ass on the specifics of that weapon and just extrapolating from the info derived in the network test.
>>332672784
Fucking why, powerstancing Drakekeeper's straight swords was my favourite thing about that fucking game.
>>332655864
>DS2
>Linear
>>332672784
One step forward, two steps back.
Reminder that this shit poise system every baby here is defending is literally turned this game into an R1 spam fest.
Jesus Christ, it was shit in Dark Souls 2, but it wasn't THAT bad as in the 3rd one. No matter the enemy, you can just stagger him with R1, R1, R1, R1.
Quality pve, guis. Poise sure as hell only affects the pvp.
>>332672982
because weapons that are made for dual wielding in this case have dedicated movesets
>>332673307
So DW is now just variations of Rakuckyo from BB?
>>332673089
It's a huge step forward. Dual Weapons in DSII didn't diversify the movesets at all. This way the weapons actually feel different instead of straight upgrades for stat investment levels.
>>332673276
In DaS1 you could wear nothing but leather armour and wolf ring (40 pose) and still tank through 2H greatsword hits.
Take off your fucking goggles faggot.
>>332654425
oh look, they just threw in old bosses
>>332673386
or whatever.
haven't kept too much on top of shit but there's a great sword + reverse gripped blade that basically uses the knife as a pivot point on the ground to swing around and shit.
>>332673504
>40 pose
>>332673531
There's a lot of that. Shit looks like you can have basically boss movesets.
I just hope there's something like the Old Monk fight to make the most of it.
>>332656942
why do people keep going nuts over this
skelies have had the psycho crusher since ds1.
>>332673531
That sounds fucking rad desu.
>>332672784
Dual wielding in DS2 was ass, same copy-pasted moveset across any two weapon combination. In DS3 they at least are unique.
>>332654751
Holy fuck this, it seems grab attacks are usually the ones with fucked hitboxes.
These games are more rehashed than fucking 2D Mario gmaes.
>>332673732
As opposed to 4 weapon movesets amirite
>>332656376
Not him but I'm also trying to stay spoiler...lite. This sounds great, I miss just randomly coming across a ridiculously difficult enemy with no fog gate to ruin the surprise

Welcome to neo /v/. If you're looking for sub-reddit cringe you've come to the right board
>>332673956

That shit was pretty GOAT in Bloodborne, fog gates only show after you've already walked in and started the boss fight. Near shit myself a couple of times kek.
>>332655906
>Every boss has a few attacks that can one shot you
There is no OHKO. Your health was too low. You are bad. You cannot git gud.
>>332673792
Dark Souls 2 didn't have much rehashed shit, among all the soulsborne games has the most content by far.
Dark Souls 3 though... not only it's super short but it recycles A LOT from previous DaS and Blunderborne
>>332656942
i want to get off mr. bones wild ride
>>332673705
cause /v/ likes that one star wars meme no one cares about psycho crusher anymore
Does the poise work this time? I'm all for cool armor, but I don't want a faggot with a katana to stunlock me for 80% of my health because heavy armor can't block the weeaboo sword.
What is best sword an why is it the FUGS?
I bet it will be the first thing to get nerfed though, 900 dmg with one swing is OP
>>332674070
>There is no OHKO
Depending on your VIT there actually are. Plus there are some chalice bosses that will OHKO you unless you have like 50+ vit with 2 runes.
He's still a shitter though.
>>332674119
Poise is locked to movesets like in Demon's Souls.
>>332674119
Poise is hyper-armor. Some of you attacks cause you to not flinch when hit. Heavy weapons are pretty great in pvp because you can just rock through whatever they throw at you and slam em for 50% of their HP.I hope it doesn't stay this way because pvp looks really boring right now because of it.
>>332674068
Oh shit that's right, I never owned BB so I just play it with my roommate sometimes.
>>332674281
>Depending on your VIT there actually are
No, a OHKO move is one that will always kill you regardless of your health. You might not be able to survive but it is not OHKO.
>>332674289
As opposed to the #1004576 katana shitter just R1 spamming you while doing as much or more damage than a fucking ultra greatsword and stunlocking you to death?
>>332672784
The fuck? Why haven't I heard of this until now? Why aren't people upset?
>>332674289
The one upside is that greatsword R1 attacks can be parried. Not much of a consolation, but still.
>>332664943
ay HOL UP u sayin we wuz bible n shiet
>>332673531
So far I've found:
>Greatsword + Dagger with cuhrazy pivot attacks and an Artorias-style flip
>dual daggers with built-in quickstep
>dual swords whose moveset is reminiscent of the Rakuyo
>dual katanas with a DeS Black Skeleton jumping attack and insane bleed buildup
>dual maces with cool twirly attacks
>two different dual curved swords, one of which is dropped from an enemy
There's probably more, but those are the only ones I know of.
>>332674380
A OHKO is a move that kills you in one hit from full HP.
>>332674435
Are you implying both aren't shit? Because they are.
Souls pvp became garbage as soon as people started taking it seriously.
>>332674289
Its actually pretty gamebreaking to be honest, I can either combo enemies to death with a one handed weapon or try and exploit the hyper armour of larger weapons before I get pushed into a combo. At least theres a reason to use one handed weapons now I guess.
There isnt much to fights anymore, know youre hyper armour and and soon as something hits you you just flat out kill them mid combo and they cant do anything as long as theydidnt hit you before you started.
>>332674456
Because going akimbo in DSII was shit since they didn't even bother making different movesets. This way you actually have a reason to try out different weapons.
>>332674543
I remember seeing a pair of spears, too.
>>332674548
Yes, always. Every attack can be survived in BB with high enough health. No OHKO. Levelling poorly is not the same as a game mechanic working against you.
>>332674456
You probably haven't heard of the massive graphical downgrades too, we had a thread yesterday but it got pruned by a janitor, I wonder *why*
>>332674284
>>332674289
Hyper armor is fine. I figured that the one "fix" for the Dark Souls 1 poise system was to make a consistent and locked hyper armor system. Dark Souls 2 poise was just non-functional at all.
But really, this guy
>>332674435
gets it.
No type of hyper armor really limits your choices for PvP even if you're not a tryhard faggot. Fast weapons always get the better deal, glad to know big weapons got some love with hyper armor.
>>332674652
Yes, I forgot to list them. Those are also really cool. I think the dual swords and the dual maces are the most impressive, though.
>>332654425
People think this is intentional design so the boss can cheaply throw you off. Look at the way the camera freaks and the clipping on the way down. That shit is so ugly that you know it was the game that bugged out.
>>332674456
>Why aren't people upset?
Dual wielding quickly became a novelty in DaS 2. You spend twice as much stamina for an attack that does about 1.2X damage.
>>332674724
>>332674284 here
I agree, super armor on attacks makes more sense. There should be no reason swiping a knife at me stops my tree trunk of a weapon from slamming down.
I just hope damage reduction from armor is actually relevant this time.
>>332672251
Does that just extend the length of the weapon it's applied on? Boy I'm sure that won't be abused in pvp with From's netcode
>>332674638
Was speaking more to pvp with my earlier statement but yeah, the way its handled in pve is ass too. If you dont' kill in the first few hits every enemy in the game goes hyper-armor to slap you.
>>332674724
You don't seem to be grasping that heavy weapons will almost always beat out non heavy weapons. STR weapons do way bigger hits this time around and because you can slam right through katana shitters or literally anything but UGS class weapons it has gone full arms race and if you aren't using a big weapon you are going to get your ass reemed.
PvP is already devolving into use an UGS or get out.
>>332654425
Anime attacks, instant death hitboxes, grab attacks, QUALITY Collison detection. This truly is the best Souls game in the franchise.
>>332674857
To be fair, some powerstanced weapons were actually surprisingly good - twin caestuses, for instance, could keep someone stunlocked for far longer than almost any other weapon, and the speed at which they hit made them excellent for applying poison or bleed.
>>332674635
Heavy slow weapons NEED hyper armour, otherwise you just get katana shitters R1 spam stunlocking everything to death while you're unable to outspeed them, unless you're really fucking good.
Why should the skill level required to do well with a katana/rapier/straight sword be so much lower than with ultra weapons, while katanas in Souls games have generally done almost the same amount of damage while being 3x faster?
It's dumb as shit and about god damn time ultra weapons had an advantage IMO. The katana/rapier metashit in DaS2 ruined the PVP.
>>332660404
Heres your reply
>>332674959
Looks like it's actually creating a sword out of magic from the catalyst itself, sort of like Soul Greatsword from DS2.
>>332675017
>Anime attacks
Post webbums. Sounds like you hatefun.
>>332675195
You're trading one problem out for another, now its just dudes swinging through everything to hit you for half your health. You'll change your tune when you get your hands on it. Most matches boil down to whoever hyper-armors through the other wins.
>>332674934
>I agree, super armor on attacks makes more sense.
No it doesn't you retarded drone, if I'm wearing a metric fuckton of armor I shouldn't be staggered by a dagger
>>332656942
Man, that was pretty great.
>>332665962
Wow! It's just as linear as Bloodborne! Who cares!
>>332674980
I have to disagree. Even with Dark Souls 1 poise, you could beat someone with 100+ poise if you were using a toothpick dex weapon. In fact, having poise didn't help much at all.
You have to poke away at people that are using big weapons. It has always been that way, except you had more options (toggle switching for escaping UGS stunlocks and such) in DaS1 but the main plan still stands.
When will the "DaS2 was bad" meme finally die?
>inb4 bait

You know its true when hes gotten this many (You)s
>>332654425
>boss is actually intelligent and kills you the most efficient way possible
Revolutionary
>>332675380
BB wasn't as linear as that. Even without chalice dungeons, it still has more optional bosses.
>>332675312
>now its just dudes swinging through everything to hit you for half your health
Then it's time to play safe and dodge those gigantic, slow ultra hits and use your speed to poke and wait for openings instead of trying to facetrade like a mindless retard.
Fast weapon users should never be able to trade successfully with fucking ultra weapons, that whole idea is dumb as fuck.
Just my opinion so whatever.
>>332675401
anyone who thinks DS2 was anything worse than mediocre is autistic.
>>332675382
Except there is no toggle-switching or anything TO break you out of UGS hits this time.
>>332675552
You'd be right if UGS were actually slow in this game. Your opinion is fine, i'm just saying don't be quick to jump to conclusions here.
>>332675380
>>332675312
>I can't parry: The Post
>>332654425
wait that thing is literally asylum demon wtf
fucking from can't make original bosses worth shit
>>332675195
Katanas runed it before, this time everyone will just be using UGSs, this is trading one problem for another. Youll find youre often just trading blows with an enemy till one of you runs out of health, just standing infront of eachother swinging, not actually moving around and fighting.
One handed weapons can gt people into a combo if they can land like 2 hits, but as soon as youve landed the first hit the enemy just goes into hyoer armour, effectively rendering one handed weapons useless outside of pve, where w handed weapons are still more effective.
You need to understand that the UGSs in DaS3 are fast as fuck, they arent slow and cumbersome like the other games, they attack as fast s the claymore in the previous games.
>>332675798
Dark Souls has 3 Asylum Demons, though.
>>332673504
>nothing but leather armor
>tank through 2h greatsword hits
You might want to check the poise table because it sure as hell requires 53 at the very least to be able to take a 2h attack to the face.
Also, no (or light) armor fucked you over hard by you being weak to all the builds up and damage.
It doesn't even matter in the other games, they might as well just make it pure cosmetic at this point, not like they serve any other reason.
In Londo, Silver Knights got staggered based on the number of hits and the type of weapons you struck them with, they were fully armored.
Instead, no armored foes were weaker to stuns, as such, a nice balance was made and you could adapt to the enemy.
Instead, it's just R1 fest for anything else. Please justify it, why do you guys consider poise such a plight? Because from my stand point, it both buffs you and the enemy. Without, it only buffs you.
And give me a real answer, don't try to be "so randum xD" like >>332673353 here.
>>332675798
Asylum Demon is literally Vanguard.
>>332675507
There are more optional bosses, but there are no more sidepaths. The witches and Martyr Logarius were on the same side path, Celestial Emissary and Ebrietas on the same side path and Amygdala and Paarl were on their own paths. Gehrman and Moon Presence were optional final bosses, which were on the main path of the game.
>>332675749
>J-just parry them
>>332662908
Seems like you didn't play Bloodborne then. It looks nothing like Ludwig's bossroom
>>332675698
More interconnectivity =/= less linear.
>>332658045
Ps3 is dead gramps. Now it's time for rest of the console trash to die too.
>>332675698
taking some real strong liberties in separating every location by lanterns. many of these "locations" can be condensed into one.
>>332656737
no its patches
>>332675695
No toggle switching, but the strategy still stands. Even if the UGS movesets are slightly faster, the guy has to run out of stamina or do something else eventually. A quick weapon will poke away at their health, with counter damage added in. Hits don't always have to be trades.
I still say quick weapons will rule PvP, but we'll see once everyone else gets to play.
>>332675983
Souls pvp has always revolved around backstabs, parries, and parry baiting at a meta level and this will be no different. Of course people can't parry shit or bait properly when game data and builds haven't even been made yet. All games have janky shit claimed OP until it's proven how easy it is to counter.
>>332656737
what is he saying
>>332675698
>Church of the Good Chalice separate from Old Yharnam
>Great Bridge separate from Yharnam
>Witch's Abode separate from HCL
The DS3 map doesn't show individual boss bonfires like that BB map shows boss lanterns. BB is definitely more interconnected but it's still a pretty straight shot to Mergo.
>>332675825
To be completely fair, Ultra greatswords have always been slow garbage. It's about time people got scared of them, even if it's because of a ridiculous reason.
At no point should a guy with a dagger go like "Oh, a UGS user, haha this will be easy!". Big weapons have been stuck as the "easy mode of PvE-only" weapons for far, far too long.
>>332659093
>that one guy who never found anything humerous
How did it feel to grow up without friends? Is your life as a stale faggot fun? How's the lovelife? Do the girls enjoy your lack of humor?
>>332676541
Well you got your wish because the tables have completely turned. One-handers are amazing at pve and big ass weapons are great in pvp now.
>no souls memory
I don't give a shit how bad this game is. I got HUNDREDS of hours out of DS1 just making unique (See:non mix maxing) builds to play online, invade people, help people and that sort of thing.
Doesn't matter how shitty this title is, ima love it
>>332675695
>You'd be right if UGS were actually slow in this game
How fast are we talking here? Only one I've seen is Fume which looked about the same as DaS2's but I could be wrong.
>>332675859
>it sure as hell requires 53 at the very least to be able to take a 2h attack to the face
That is still dumb as shit. Leather + wold ring + heavy gauntlets and you'd be able to fast/ninja roll while being able to tank 2H hits willy nilly. Poise was hilariously broken in DaS1.
>>332675859
>Also, no (or light) armor fucked you over hard by you being weak to all the builds up and damage.
The entire idea with light armour was that you weren't supposed to take hits, hence the far faster dodge and more i-frames. However saying that, when you upgraded your armour to +15 even light armour would become tanky as fuck. And hell there were some light sets with retardedly broken defenses as good as medium armour.
Obviously the damage reduction is not going to compare to Havels or Giants, but you also won't be mid/fat rolling like them, but are also able to poise 2H hits.
DaS1's poise balancing was retarded and all over the place.
>>332675970
>The witches and Martyr Logarius were on the same side path
No they weren't; not unless you waited to do Hemwick after going through forbidden woods/the clinic.
>>332677310
DaS claymore speed. This doesnt sound that bad but consider the range of a UGS and the damage coupled with hyper armour.
>>332666915
Why do you have to meme up your post to get your point across?
>>332675859
>Please justify it, why do you guys consider poise such a plight?
>be armored up with poise
>literally nothing in the game can stun you
>tank through every single enemy attack with R1 spam without consquence
>no punishment for taking hits since you can't be stunned because poise is so broken
>if you get hit mid attack, your attack won't be interrupted and therefore there is no punishment for not being careful
>Oh but you lose HP, you say? Don't worry, you can tank through hits to chug Estus without worrying because poise is there to stop you from being stunned ever
Poise is a shitter enabling mechanic and a crutch that removes any punishment outside of damaging your HP from being hit.
Without poise you have to
>worry about whether your attack will be interrupted
>be more careful when you're healing because without poise attacks will interrupt you
>learn which of your attacks have hyper armour and which don't so that there's some thought required for trading
>be more careful when fighting multiple enemies as you have a higher chance of being stunlocked
>generally pay more attention to your surroundings because you actually can be stunlocked from ambushes and traps
>>332677296
This nothing else matters this game will be better than 2 for no SM alone.
