Where ? On /v/ ?
becuase it's praised everywhere
>shad souls smut
NO STAY AWAY FROM SOULS REEEEEEEEEEEEE
There's something off about that pic
Yeah it's good. All the souls games are good really. I'd say this one is better than dark souls 1 & 2, but a tiny bit worse than demons souls. I don't have a ps4 so I can't compare it to bloodbourne

It's shad.
She's probably going to end up sniffing and licking the asshole of some of the monsters too.

It's good, OP. Shitters will say otherwise so I'm gonna get the bad out of the way.
>LOTS of people had performance and crash issues at launch. I was okay, but LOTS of people were not.
>Being an invader is hard as fuck because of safety gank squads, and I don't know how good other PVP is.
>The first hour of the game is easy as fuck and the first two bosses are the easiest shit on the planet
Now, the good!
>It's really pretty for a souls games
>The areas are GREAT and immersive as shit, and the sense of scale is also great
>Controls are as tight as ever, hitboxes are accurate and movesets are sick
>NPCs are interesting and their quests are bretty interesting, and they can totally fucking die and their quests often interact with one another
>Exploring is top fun
>Level design is back and shortcuts are fucking great and satisfying
>Bosses are also great, when a boss goes into stage 2 you're usually shocked as shit
>Armour and weapon sets are cool
It's not as difficult as the others, I don't think, but by no means casual. It's good OP.
>>334163842
It's on par with DaS1, which you prefer is more personal taste than quality.
>>334163842
its good but 1 and 2 are better

2 is okay. But 3 is far better.
>>334163842
I haven't beaten it yet. Nothing is standing out as particularly poor about the game yet, and it's really fun so far. Time will tell how it rates in comparison to the other games, but it's solid as fuck.
Also, pc here and I haven't had any of the issues people are bitching about yet after 10 hours
>>334163842
this nigga has been posting drawings on the internet for nearly a decade and is still shit.
>>334164458
yes you tard all your complains are in 3 bonfire every 5 meters, ganks squads linear as shit and to add more this game has way to much fanservice.
I think DS3 is probably the most fun I've had with a souls game since Demon Souls
DS1 and DS2 were kinda fun, but didn't hold me like this one
>>334163842
I thought 2 sucked badly and I was expecting the same of 3, but it's actually pretty good. The controls feel a lot more like DaS1's, and the levels are much more enjoyable than 2's clusterfuck
>>334164610
Someone should send him some Loomis books.
>>334163842
It's pretty good but very predictable if you played the other games.
Also lots of reused assets from Bloodborne.

i've been invading for the past 6 hours. i want to say 1/10 is the host alone and they'll always run to summon once you're there.
I didnt want to cheese but fuck it, i need to even the odds. Anyone have any suggestions for kicking shit in in PvP?
>>334165014
If you don't want to cheese and you don't want to deal with ganksquads then why not just use the red soap sign?
>>334163842
Honest time.
It's good, but not great. It's okay.
Seriously, don't buy it now. Wait for the price to drop. Or rather, wait for them to release a game of the year edition with all the inevitable DLC. And then wait for the price for THAT to drop.
It's really not worth full price, man. Don't get sucked into all the quasi-console warring and the people who feel obligated to say good or bad things about it.
It's good, but not great.
It's just... above decent, at best.
Its shit. Reused assets and boring grinding, with awful broken mechanics
can we all agree this is the worst hub? Like fuck so much room with nothing.
How is the online on pc?Is the hacker meme true?
>>334163842
It's great, but I've yet to beat it. But even first hours are leaps and bounds above shitty DS2, on par with DeS.
>>334165225
This is what I was waiting to hear from someone. I loved DS1, but DS2 made me feel dirty: it was a cash grab. That's why I havent bought DS3 yet. Thanks for being honest anon, I know it's really easy to get caught up in buyer's remorse and go into denial.
>>334165132
i've tried this and i want to say 3/4 times i get summoned to a gank.
I dont know about the rest of you guys but goddamn.
>>334165293
I dunno I'm up to farron keep and a ton of npcs have found their way to the shrine after I assisted them. I got the thief, cleric, sorceress and pyromancer npcs livening the place up.
>>334163842
Pirate it and try it out.
>>334165535
My only complaint - the levels are bland. they're different and nice but i feel i've seen them all before. The layouts are also very bland as well.
>>334163842
Replayed DS1 just before release and I have to say, i am enjoying this one a little more. Although I will say the bosses were more memorable in DS1. I will probably remember Neto, Seath, and Puppers till the day I die. For me it is about fun, cool setting and bosses. So I go like this atm, DS3>BB>DS1>Demon>DS2. Pic related, this was the moment it beat BB, everything leading up to it was close, but this architecture and scenery pushed it over.
>>334165293
the hub its self looks comfy, but it's garbo mechanically.
the game is too short/paced. everything feels more compact and you can almost predict where the next bonfire is going to be.
"no sweat here, i know the bonfire is coming up soon because i've killed like 20 mobs and ran for 25 minutes straight."
everyone who had invaded me i've never actually killed and they never actually kill me because this is what happens:
>shitter greatshield user invades me
>i instantly am shooting crossbow at him
>he charges
>i parry, riposte everytime
>they get scared and hold block
>use the Estoc shield basher and go HAM on them
>they run behind the nearest NPC
every. single. fucking. time.
if you're going to hide behind NPCs, why are you invading again??
it's funny to see people who think they're getting an eay kill 360 and walk away.
>>334165631
>BB better than DS1
lmao
>>334165293
Why would we agree with shit opinions?
Am I supposed to go kill the dancer after the catacombs? It looks like the only option but the boss is WAY harder than the ones before.
Why can't this fanbase stops constantly compare each entry of the series
>>334165804
Killing the dancer gets you into Lothric castle, so yes
>>334163842
It's popular of course it's shit
>>334163842
>Getting mixed reviews about it.
Blame turbocasuals and babybornes
people who enjoy Dark Souls combat will enjoy this game as well, despite some new and some old challenges seen in the game
>>334163842
Pc: wait till it's fixed
Console: go for it. It's great and works
What order am I meant to do this shit?
So far it's been

>Church and priestfags
>Swamp and abyssfags
>Catacombs right now
Feel like I missed some shit
Compared to Witcher 3 and FO4, how resource intensive is the game?
>>334165937
PC isn't broken, people just don't know how to update their drivers, BIOS and turn off motion blur.
i dunno, i also have DS3 on my SSD, so that could be why it runs so well.
like i thought the swamp was supposed to be laggy. i didn't lag at all.
>>334165746
Because it was.
DS1 was great, but Anor Londo was just empty rooms and corridors with giant enemies placed randomly. Everything underground after Quelaag was legit shit. Not just bad or underwhelming, just pure steamy pile of dogshit.
DeS feels clunky, but it's a much more finished game with consistent level of quality.
BB is the most complete and mechanically competent Souls game. It takes best parts of DS and fuses it with DeS grade atmosphere.
BB > DS1 = DeS > DS2 DLC final bosses >>> DS2 DLC >>>>> vanilla DS2 which I don't really want to put on this list because how shitty it is.
Playing DS3 right now, so far it plays just like DS1 with quality of BB. Time will tell if it's better or worse.
>>334166032
Apparently it's so resource intensive, your game will crash unless you set certain settings like lighting and reflections to low even if you're well beyond the system requirements.
>>334165980
It's not like you have a choice, the game is mind blowingly linear
pvp is absolutely horrible
pve is okay, early bosses are way too easy.
>>334166145
eh, alright then.
I don't mind it being linear area-wise, the areas are quite open and I like exploring. it's fine.
From what I have played so far I'd say it might be my second favorite behind Bloodborne. I think from an objective standpoint, all nostalgia aside, it is probably better than Dark Souls 1 and Demon's Souls.
>>334166114
Lol, BB after vicar amelia is awful
Right up until gehrman, the general interesting content in the game takes a nosedive

>>334166364
>BB after vicar amelia is awful
I've been seeing this getting pushed lately out of nowhere and it's totally wrong. Forbidden Woods is a fucking fantastic area, and the game after Vicar Amelia is wonderfully paced and you discover the big eldritch truth. Yahar'Ghul, Nightmare Frontier, Forbidden Forest, and Bergenwerth are all very interesting, especially going to Yahar'Ghul WHILE the Mensis Ritual is happening, and you can hear it, and then coming after it is complete and seeing shit go fucking crazy.
If you think BB has anywhere near the quality drop of DaS 1 you are delusional, the Old Hunters is also way better than AoTA.

Because your an aggressive fgt that doesn't think.
>>334166681
Yeah, it's a shit transition. You don't even get time to light the bonfire or get the ring upstairs. Feels rushed and stupid.
>>334166750
Yeah, when BB first came out I was loving it but when I reached Cathedral Ward and Old Yarnham I was getting really worried that the pre-release memes about every level being the same were right, when I found shit like Forbidden Woods, Nightmare Frontier, and Yahar'Ghul I was really happy.

>Mixed Reviews
Where? On Steam?
That I assure you is 85% people review bombing to get the attention of Bamco / FromSoft so that the crash issues can be fixed and / or for venting.
15% Are the git gud crowd.
Everywhere else it's getting rave reviews.
Steam user reviews aren't wortg shit though, often there are utter garbage games with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews .
What I wanna know is: how are the lewd armor sets in this game? Anything like the desert sorceress set? Anything more revealing?
>>334163842
God damn Shadman is fucking awful.
I say this almost every time I see his work, but damn I'm surprised every time.

The bonfire lights itself actually. Because I ended up just homeward boning out of the dancer.
>>334167037
Don't know how I forgot Cainhurst, fucking love that place. My only complaint though is that the main enemies are those blue ghost chicks, those seem weird to be the main level goons.
>>334167196
But all of that is wrong.
>>334166569
Old hunters is area after area with no interconnection
Living failure are shit
Laurence is a health bloat cleric skin with an interesting transformation, shit boss overall
Maria is okay, but nothing spectacular
Ludwig and OoK are great
Artorias of the abyss is far better though, the boss designs are classic, the npc's more memorable, the changes to the base game more significant
Forbidden woods is overly long and samey, with the snake part being full of tedious unfun enemies, the boss is disappointing and easy, byrgenwerth is far too short and rom is absolutely awful, yahargul is full of respawning buffed gank packs which offer literally no reason to actually fight through them rather than just running past them, the one reborn is similarly an awful boss with minions, aoe attacks and is generally very easy, nightmare frontier is almost pointless and amygdala is disappointing, nightmare of mensis is better than the other lot of post amelia enemies, but micolash is dreadful, mergo's wet nurse is a huge let down for a potential ultimate/penultimate boss and the side track involves winter lanters who are awfully designed.
The "big" eldritch truth, what a fucking joke.
Oh noe some overgrown spiders are sitting around now, and the moon changed, what a load of bollocks, as if anything that interesting even changes.
Cainhurst is short, wasted, and lacks any real use other than for covenant and the cainhurst set/chikage, why didn't they put these items throughout the level rather than making you buy them?
Upper cathedral ward is very short, and there are numerous gank situations, the wolves, brainsuckers and celestial emissary, who is an awful boss.
Thank fuck ebrietas is there to salvage my soured playthrough, a top notch boss right there.
Hemwick charnel lane isn't very good either, and the witches are yet another awful boss.
>>334166114
>Time will tell if it's better or worse.
You mean other people will tell you if it's better or worse over time.

Could you be any more of a contrarien faggot.
>>334164356
>gank squads
I've been doing wolf covenant a bit. Having trouble connecting to invasions, but the ones I get in have no summons.
>>334167278
Oh yeah, because Artorias of the Abyss totally had interconnection. Fuck off, I love AoTA but the level design is absolutely mediocre and bland, the Hunters Nightmare, Research Hall, and Fishing Hamlet may not be connected but they are far more interesting and well designed than any of the AoTA areas.
>The "big" eldritch truth, what a fucking joke. Oh noe some overgrown spiders are sitting around now, and the moon changed, what a load of bollocks, as if anything that interesting even changes.
So not only are you drastically over-simplifying it, but you've shown that you completely don't understand perhaps the most obvious lore piece in the entire game. I think you probably should stick to Dark Souls 1, it's slower pace seems more suited to you.
>>334167278
>Artorias of the abyss is far better though, the boss designs are classic, the npc's more memorable, the changes to the base game more significant
How to spot a nostalgiagobbling contrarian.
>the changes to the base game more significant
I agree, TOH didn't ruin the main game as much as black pyromancy and soul magic in AotA.
>>334164418
that shit was godtier, I don';t care what anyone says.
>>334167338
No, if it drops in quality as much as DS1 did after Lordvessel or reach the lows of DS2 level design.
>>334167278
>Oh noe some overgrown spiders are sitting around now, and the moon changed, what a load of bollocks, as if anything that interesting even changes
Oh boy, now I know you aren't even fucking trying.
Old Hunters DLC>Bloodborne>Demons Souls>Dark Souls>Dark Souls 3>Dark Souls 2
This is the correct answer and anyone who says otherwise is baiting

I mean I'm not complaining, but you guys are terrible liars.
>>334167278
>the changes to the main game were more significant
no they fucking weren't, considering the biggest complaint with Bloodborne was a lack of weapons, especially early-game ones, which Old Hunters totally fixed.
>>334167607
>bloodborne with the least out of everything is the best
here
>>334167620

>>334167620

You should probably replay DeS, because DS3 feels more like DS1 than anything.
>>334167620
>tfw From will never be able to make a world like DaS1
suck so much even King's Field has a great world map.
>>334167669
what are you even trying to say? That Bloodborne has the least content? If that is what you mean then you are wrong, it's far longer than DeS, longer than DaS II, and with DLC it's longer than DaS.
>>334167678
>They're the same fucking thing.
Nope.
DeS was a lot faster and imba than DaS.
DaS3 honestly feels closer to DeS/DaS2 than DaS.
>>334167490
Woah,
Talk how you want about the "eldritch truth", and the big surprise and change etc, but don't bring "lore" into your argument.
The only way you'd genuinely give a shit about lore is by researching it after beating the game, unless you were actually autistic enough to scavenge through the weapon/item texts on your first playthrough.
No, rather the immediate effect after beating rom was that I just walked into a different looking area with big spider bastards, there was nothing amazing about it, it was still the city area except more red.

Oh and DKS3 is also 20 hours
>>334167769
You are the most oblivious gamer ever then, I didn't read any item descriptions and could still tell the significance of all the shit going on.

hollowing is an item you take from an npc in undead settlement. it only change your appearance and give you 5 free level up for 16 death
ashening is the new hollowing, you return to your orignal health and get queued down in online
>>334167808
Most people on there first playthrough take more than 20 hours. On my first playthrough I didn't have trouble with many bosses at all and didn't touch Chalice Dungeons and I beat it at 60 hours. With DLC and Chalices BB is far longer than any other souls game besides 2 which sucks shit.
>b-but I don't like chalices! they don't count!
>>334167832
What is peoples deal with him, I mean he is a cool character and all, but that DLC as a whole is the worst DLC in a souls game so far.
>>334167490
Every area in AotA is connected to the main circular "map",
You can take an elevator up to Artorias's boss room, you can then take an elevator up to the royal wood.
There's nothing like that in old hunters.
>>334167507
There's literally nothing like hawkeye gough or marvelous chester in old hunters, nothing as memorable as the kalameet take down.
Orphan of Kos and Ludwig came nowhere near to the terrifying presence I had with Manus and Kalameet
>>334167601
It really just isn't that significant of a change as some people try to make it out to be, as if the whole game was flipped upside down.
>>334165535
so you just ask and wait for someone to respond with the opinion you'd already arrived at but wanted 'spontaneous' confirmation of?

I honestly don't know why AOTA was praised so highly
The first boss is ok, the royal Woods is rehashed. Artorias is good. Oolacile is short but good. And the Chasm of the abyss is total dogshit with a good boss
Kalameet is good too
>>334168073
Wow, an elevator. That totally invalidates how bland and uninteresting every level of AoTA is.
>muh NPCS
>implying manus and kalameet are nearly as good as Ludwig or Orphan.
You've already made it abundantly clear that you don't understand the single most basic, obvious element of Bloodborne's story and yet you feel you totally have the right to criticize it.
Bloodborne > DS3 > Demon's souls > Dark Souls > DS2

>>334168007
My progress of understanding through bloodborne:
1. I am a Hunter
2. I kill things
3. I go to a weird dream world
4. I kill more things
5. I beat a moronic slug
6. The moon changes colour
7. There are large spiders on the walls now
8. I go into other dreams, beat a few bosses
9. I beat gehrman and then another boss
10. Game ends
Even as it may change the game up, I fail to intrinsically understand how the "twist" validates the nosedive in quality of the games content as I originally pointed out, it's literally like people are defending shitty bosses like Rom and Micolash because of "muh lore!!!", a level not even dark souls 1 players have fallen to with Bed of Chaos

>>334164280
This.
I've never seen a bigger fall from grace than the souls series.
The game is catering to casuals.
They made a playlist of songs for DS3
They put "onion bro" back in when they had no reason to
They put solaire's outfit back in and pose
I could go on and fucking on with the amount of shit that didn't need to be put in the game but is due to fan service and catering to the casuals so their twitch chat can spam "PURAISE TUH SUN XDDD"
If you think it isn't the most casualized of the all the games in the series then you are thr problem.
>>334168162
the same reason why people think dark souls is the best in the series, marketing
>>334164874
i agree. dark souls 2 had way more atmosphere than this
>>334168359
>Sonydrone
I primarily play Souls on pc which I have 1,2 and 3 for.
Liking and defending the actual best game in the series doesn't make me a fucking Sonydrone lad.
Lets be honest, the only reason why people here bash it is because they can't play it
>>334168359
>getting completely objectively blown the fuck out
>sonyggers!
fuck off retard, I fucking hate my PS4 and literally all I use it for is Bloodborne and Dark Souls III and I had an Xbox 360 and PC last gen.
>>334168185
No I understand the eldritch influences and twist in bloodborne's story progression and overall encompassing of the lore very well, if fact it interests me, the setting and tropes fall well within my range of interests having enjoyed previous games like eternal darkness which explore similar themes.
What I don't understand is why this justifies or even validates the poor content after Amelia, the absolute boredom following cathedral ward, and why you seem to respond to my original points by use of >but muh lore!
>>334168350
Is it really that easy for you trivialise everything while at the same time clearly showing you have no understanding about the game nor the game world?
>>334164874
You'se gots to be kidding me.
BB still is From's magnum opus.
>>334168590
I understand the game world though, because it interesting me after I played it.
The Gehrman - Maria - Willem - byrgenwerth stuff, the theories regarding ebrietas and her discovery, theories about the doll being a great one, the mensis ritual etc.
I just don't use any of this as a means to defend the shitty game following amelia friend.
If the game was Central Yharnam - Cathedral ward - Ebrietas - Old Hunters - Gerhman - Moon Presence I would call it perfect.
>>334168404
So a few odd bits of fan service invalidate s an entire game? Gotcha. You've become austidte.
>>334168404
Its the most casualized but does that equate to bad?
The catalog is filled with praise for this game, since its the honeymoon period.
So can anyone actually explain WHY DS2 is a pile of shit? I ain't defending it or anything--it's the only FS game I've played so I have nothing to compare it to, and I'm curious how exactly all the other games in this series are better.
>>334168729
its hard to disagree with this desu
>>334168785
>I just don't use any of this as a means to defend the shitty game following amelia friend.
Bait or garbage taste. The forest levels are among the best in the whole series.
>>334168550
No you don't understand it, as shown by your
>hurr big spider dies blood moon for no reason
Rom was an ascended human acting as a barrier for the mensis ritual. That's why you go to Yahar'Ghul pre-rom and they are doing the ritual, and then you go after killing Rom and they completed it and summoned the blood "moon". Rom was good, she was protecting Yarnham from the Moon Presence and the One Reborn, and the reason the One Reborn is a fucked up corpse abomination instead of a great one is because of Rom. The Blood Moon wasn't the actual moon, it was the One Reborn's portal.

>>334169268
Yes and no.
When you are "kindled" you get a small health boost and when you die you get that health boost removed from you.
Nothing like that shit in DS2 though. Think of being kindled as humanity from DS1
I think a lot of people really need to go check out what linear games actually are. There are so many corridors and different rooms to go to, the fact that you progress only through one area doesn't make it linear. Also, just because there is a hub world doesn't make it linear also. You still need to explore and go through every nook and cranny yo find all the goodies. Everyone that says it's easier than dark souls must be ranged. That's the beauty of these games. You make it as hard as you want, focus on melee if it's to "easy". Though just because "most" of you are "pros" doesn't mean you can rate the games difficulty the way you're doing it. By no means is it easy and even if it's the "easiest", it will still be pretty damn hard for most.
>>334169107
The first half is pretty pointless, other than linking back to iosefka's clinic, the second half is full of the snakes which are really not very fun in any way,
Why is this area so good to you?
It's visually uninteresting, it has an awful boss, it's largely unrewarding, and they could have very easily focussed much more on byrgenwerth, which would have been better for everyone
>>334168729
This.
Everything in Dark Souls 3 feels like a pale imitation of the other games.
The weapons and movesets are worse than BB.
Weapon arts are worse than transforms.
The interconnection is a joke.
The level design is too often linear.
The story and lore are atrocious compared to BB or DkS.
It's fucking loaded with fanfic nostalgia pandering.
Not a single area that was inspiring and the entire game lacked atmosphere.
Half the bosses and enemies get cucked by shields again.
The invasion system is the worst in the series.
>Based retardbro last boss.
The game is still good, but it's nothing spectacular. In no way did they push a single boundary.
>>334169043
Its good. It shines when you co-op the whole game with a bro.
What brings it down are design decisions like locking a weapon behind 500 kills in the arena, 1% drop rates for items, 12 spawn limits for enemies, and soul memory.
Its just not designed to be fully completed by any player unless you hack your save.
You can say that Dark Souls 2 has the same level of quality throughout while Dark Souls 1 actually drops in quality once you get the Lord Vessel. Miyazaki even said that many of Tanimura's decisions on Dark Souls 2 were actually good, perhaps the bad design decisions from Dark Souls 2 were from director Shibuya, the guy Tanimura replaced.
I played the other games with the keyboard, but I wanted to try using a controller on PC this time. I have a PS4 controller, and I saw that people just used programs to make it work, but I also saw a bunch of people posting about how they think you'll get banned for using them.
Are they serious? How do you guys get the controller to work with Dark Souls 3?
DO NOT FUCKING TAKE THE FREE LEVELS.
KAZ, I'M ALREADY A DEMON.
>>334168785
>I Understand the game world guys

Lol ok. Btw Rom and micolash are no worse than something like Phalanx and Dark Sun Gwyndolin.
>>334169227
No, you don't understand the point of
>hurr big spider dies blood moon for no reason
That was my initial reaction to the game story, sure it was more interesting reading up about it later, but there was little to nothing in terms of player engagement with the lore previous to this.
And once again, it does not justify the shitty game content.
>swamp under a forest
But no one will critique that because it isn't DS2
>>334169043
Dark Souls II is just really unpolished and uninspired. None of the bosses are as original or well made as most of the ones in past games, there aren't ANY standout, memorable bosses in the vanilla game. There is a lot of repetition, and the addition of mechanics such as soul memory and ADP are highly questionable. The level design is bad, most levels are just hallways and dead ends, and people didn't like that the game constantly threw huge mobs of baddies at you because the games slow, clunky mechanics weren't good for it, especially in parts like the path to Velstadt with huge mobs of greatshield wielding enemies, that is just bullshit and annoying.
Dark Souls 1 was also famous for it's coherent, interesting, well-connected and nonlinear world design, and those things are perhaps the worst quality of Dark Souls II with some transitions between levels being completely nonsensical and all the levels being nonconnected and silly.
There are also other minor things like issues with durability, enemies having armor pieces/weapons behind MMO-tier droprates despite enemies now despawning forever, and the total lack of lore, and other qualms.
This is coming from someone who has hundreds of hours and still enjoyed it, it isn't a pile of shit, but it's very lackluster compared to its peers.
>>334169571

>>334169571
Well, they didn't critique it in Dark Souls either :^)
>>334169562
Well I don't think the content is shitty. You seem to believe your opinion is fact, but I found the areas after Amelia, especially Cainhurst and the Forbidden Woods to be very interesting and well-designed.
The only reason people visit Shadman is because he does some niche fetishes.
>>334167196
why do the mods even let this kind of people post in here?
>>334169610
>it's
Also, DaS1 is a lot more linear than what you DaS babbies believe.
>>334169551
Rom uses homing icicles repeatedly, has numerous aoe effect spells, and everyone of his attacks do huge damage.
Rom also has tons of minions, literally tons, way more than any other boss in the series.
There's no justification for this, even comparing it to phalanx is silly.
It's just a shit boss in every way possible.
Micolash is a boss that requires the player follows it around, in a very simply and easy to manipulate pattern, yet being still tiresome and uninteresting.
The actual fight portion is either incredibly cheap and quick, or incredibly easy depending on the players familiarity. Micolash use of two spells which will almost instantly kill most players is not good boss design, in addition he can keep spamming these spells repeatedly, with very little time to get up and get back in the fight.
Again, he's not challenging in any way, but for newer players, you can imagine the frustration.
Nowhere near comparable to gwyndolin.
>>334169853
To add to a point, each one of Rom's minions do ridiculous damage.
In every way Dukes dear freja is a massively better boss, and that boss is pretty shitty already
>>334169853
Both of your complaints point to the bosses being difficult ( Even though you follow up with, I swear they were still easy guise. ), which was not the case for me, ever. So I guess get good.
>>334168286
Its a meme at this point. This happens to anyone whose work gets posted enough on /v/.
>>334169837
Yes, it's was used to shorten IT IS, very basic grammar. I love that you responded to a long, thought out post with a single sentence saying "babbies" though.
>>334168404
Guts needs a shave
Is the Wolf Knight's Greatsword a good boss weapon?
it looks sick as fuck, but I'm not good about how good it is.
>>334169853
Rom is really fucking easy, and I found Micolash to be very interesting and memorable, certainly better than fucking Gwyndolin. Again, try to remember that you are not the duke of opinions.
Is the game really half the length of the previous games? Talking about DaS and DaS 2 not BB.
I just got a Firekeeper Soul, do I give it to the not maiden in black?
>>334170016
They aren't difficult though.
They're both just very cheap.
If you want something that's cheap and difficult for new players, look to the bed of chaos.

Fuck off you cum drooling cunt.
>>334170104
Micolash's dialouge was pretty interesting, and the music was okay, but the boss as a fight itself is absolutely a failure.
Rom is really fucking easy, I agree with you, it's just that he's very cheap, uses numerous high damaging attacks, and his minions all have near - 70% health damaging attacks. The boss is horrendous.
>>334170136
Its short AND linear.
>>334170359
I found Rom interesting. God forbid a fight be anything but a big guy/monster slashing at you.
>>334170396
I don't care if it's linear. DeS was linear and I loved that game.
It's the short length that really disappoints me.
>>334169978
At least Rom's minions are so slow the only way they should kill you is their quick jump attack (which is pretty bullshit actually) and she's at least easier to damage than Freyja.
>>334163842
Fug
What am I supposed to do in Farron Keep? There's a big door that won't open and that elevator next to Wolfie only leads to big booty ash demon and some items.
If I infuse my weapon, can I easily un-infuse it later?
Why are greatswords and ultras doing less or the same damage than my long swords?
>>334170476
The arena and design was fairly interesting, but I could easily say the same for the bed of chaos.
It doesn't mean that the boss itself isn't a miserable pile of rancid shit
>>334170487
>DeS

Nigga what?
>>334170526

>>334170487
Its technically not. You start out on a tutorial which is a straight line, but by the nexus it splits up into 5 areas. When you finish those 5 areas you can access the end zone.
Dark Souls 2 does this too with the four great souls and road to the crypt, and Dark Souls 1 splits up into 4 areas; the four kings, bed of chaos, Nito, and Seath, before a final area.
>>334170584
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

>>334163842
Shadman that art is absolute shit. Stop shilling your shitty fucking site here you literal cuckold.
>>334170609

>>334167278
I like you and agree with most of your points. Big difference is I haven't played the dlc and don't intend to because of disappointment with the base game.
The only real thing I don't match you on is Nightmare of Mensis. My gripes are
>Frenzy section causes player to hde behind rocks every five steps and wait for slow ass bar to empty, slowing pace to a crawl
>dog people are best overcome with r2 charge to one shot them, avoiding frenzy, making the hazard completely unthreatening
>parasites they drop ignore hit detection unlike every other enemy in the game, making your attacks move you through them and giving them windows for their massive hitbox no windup attacks for free damage
>low echo payout makes them more trouble than they're worth, meaning you abandon them where they drop and let the tower loudly scream at them for the next several minutes without pause, even though they're immune to frenzy
>spider room has a massive amount of enemies in one tiny arena, making it easier to either pull them one by one or just funnel them through a door
>big spider attacks do more damage than any enemies in the level for less windup with greater range
>room is so small that if she starts her sweep combo it will leave no room to avoid it
>paltry echos for risk involved
>shitty hunter fight on the bridge that can easily be cheesed
>braindead mobs leading up to elevator that can be walked past with no danger or visceraled with no threat
>dog and bird reskins with no significant difference in attack instead of a unique enemy for the area
>the shitty puppets that do nothing but hold still eight minutes before attacking but dodge out of any combo, extending time to kill them without increasing risk to the player
>micolash is the hunter from byrgenwerth but with no ranged or weapon so all he does is spam homing balls and tentacles
>in a tiny box with no room to dodge homing balls
Ran out of characters.
I hate every single thing there.
>>334170750
Nexus give you an option to tackle any of the worlds in the order that you want and when you want it.
DaSIII locked you through the majority of the game with most of the branching lead you to an optional area.
Half of the game is basically Boletaria when it comes to levels progression.
>>334170303
i'm not saying this shit isn't annoying, but to be fair literally every souls game since demon souls has done this. every non boss weapon from demon souls has been in every game, patches/lautrec/crestfallen (or their analogues) are in every game, every game has ostrava/seigmeyer bumbling dummy you have to save, etc.
i mean obviously DS3 went over board, but acting like none of the other games ripped stuff from the previous ones is just retarded
>>334169373
I kept hearing linear before release and even now. Yeah when you look at the map that just had squares connected by lines for the areas it does look linear. But when you actually play it, well I was lost as fuck in the settlement, and cathedral. Finding shortcuts, and paths I didn't even know about. The levels themselves aren't linear, like aldia's keep but people keep arguing like that's the case.
>>334170723
WOOOOW, really?Who said that again?
>people legit thinking BB is not the best souls game
There is no way anyone but pkeks who didn't play the game actually think this, right? You only watched playthroughs of it on twitch/youtube. That's the only way I could see you having this opinion.
For the record I am not some sonygger, I bought DkS3 on PC as that's still my main platform of choice, but there is just no denying that Bloodborne is From's greatest achievement thus far.
I kinda wish the Abysswalkers didn't stagger so easily, it would make the fight a lot harder
>>334170927
Linearity as in the progression of the player in their journey.
One of the main perk of DeS, DaS and DaS2 is how the player are given the freedom to tackle the required bosses in their own way and pace.
This shit is barely present in DaS3.
If you find that these individual area are amazing, you clearly haven't touched DaSII DLCs that have superior layout, size, and its own unique shit like unlockable and puzzles for each area

Bloodborne isn't a great game, but that doesn't mean it's not good.
Games can be good without being great.
Not everything you like has to be a masterpiece. It's ok to enjoy games that are even subpar or straight up shitty. Just admit the faults of the game and realize it doesn't degrade who you are as a person.
