Now that the dust has settled, can we agree it's the best Souls game to date?
>>334205089
come on son
it IS the best Souls game ever though, by far.
>>334205089
Yes.
The only people who will disagree are DaS1 fanboys and butthurt sonyggers.
It's the best souls game.
>>334205089
I'm 18 hours in and having buyers remorse.
>>334205089
the interfaces could be better, one thing DS2 did better I think
>>334205089
It is.
Nameless King is one of the best boss fights ever. Helping as a summon makes me feel like a king myself
worse Souls port to date.
fucking demon souls could run better on my pc
>>334205661
mine works fine ;)
>>334205089
Absolutely not.
by far the most focused souls game ever. i fucking love it. it's everything i hoped 2 would have been.
Every minute I play it all I can think of is how much I'd much rather be playing Bloodborne.
>>334205661
What's your setup? I'm playing on alaptop10 hours in and no problems at all so far.
>>334205661
I lowered the lighting to low and that has stopped the crashing at the bonfires
also turning off AA helps with framerate
I just killed Crystal Sage. It's been bland as fuck so far.
>>334205089
Im only 2 hours in and i want to play bloodborne..
i kinda miss the fast paced combat and the revenge health regain system.
So far its ok and reminds me more of Demons Souls than Dark Souls but i still think going back to the slow paced combat is a mistake.
>>334206021
I had the same reaction with dark souls 1 about demon's souls
but eventually I grew to love dark souls
>>334206258
it's comments like these that make me glad I didnt play bloodborne yet
>>334205089
Yeah. Only need some patch to fix their japanese coding techniques.
But the whole design is just top notch.
>>334206339
why that anon?
>>334206258
you'll find a ring that gives you the health regain system
forgot where though
What kind of piece of shit computers are you niggers even using to not be able to play this?
>>334206394
thats not the same.
In Bloodborne it made you play way more aggressive because the punishment wasn't that hard.
I'm getting close to the end of the game and I have to agree
Dark Souls 1 still holds a special place in my heart but this game feels much more complete
>>334206448
mfw I'm running it at 50-60FPS on high with a 770 somehow
Shit game. Will never compare to DaS. Let's not forget DaS had perfect pvp, Blightown, bed of chaos, PRAISE THE SUN, balanced stay system, and that delicious item description plot.
>summon Grape in the swamp
>he bows to me
>instead of fighting him, walk past and beckon
>we do some jolly co-operation
>just as we're getting comfortable with each otherI stab him in the back and kill him
>>334206389
because I'm used to how souls games control so if I got used to bloodborne's faster combat I might not enjoy DS3 as much

You are right.
Bloodborne is a shit game.
>>334207354but its scary senpai
>>334207359
How so?
Are we including Bloodborne? If so, I still think that's the best one.
Out of the Souls games though, yes I would agree it's the best. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul_ZRos42c0
This sounds like it could pass as real classical/gothic style music. I'm going to go as far to say that this game has one of the best soundtracks ever. It's the first Souls game (if we aren't including Bloodborne) where I actually noticed how amazing the music is.
>>334207319
Bait to what? A counter arguement?
What's the point of that? Can we just pretend all the dumbasses on the internet are "epic trolls" and not actual stupid people?
>>334206998
I dont understand why anyone would want to play as a grape. I have zero incentive to pick your fucking sign because I don't want the additional pressure of a maniacal timebomb that could fuck me over at will.

Have you guys noticed this game seems like a mishmash of every souls/borne game? It's got the central hub disconnected from the rest of the game like demons souls, but all the areas are interconnected outside of it. It's linear at the start but gradually starts to split off almost without you noticing. The combat mechanics draw from several of the games and not just one of them. Lots of little things too. Some boss designs and areas feel ripped right from bb while others remind me of des and some like better versions of fights from ds2 likedecons of the deep feeling like a better version of the rat spam fight.
>>334207487
Bad PVP and limited PVE that doesn't have any depth.
Holy fuck it is the BEST souls game.

The second half of Dark Souls isn't even bad. I'm not sure why people think that.
>>334207856
Dark Souls 2 is not bad at all.
3 is actually very similar to it in level design and mechanics, just not as rushed
I'm enjoying the game a lot.
Just finished the Abyss Watchers boss fight. Reminded me of Lady Maria so I felt the determination to solo it
>>334207856
you guys take the 2 meme too far
>>334208019

Are you the developer now?
>Linear doesn't mean no depth.
I said limited not linear (although it is linear too).
Also even Miyazaki agrees Bloodshit was limited http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/09/13/miyazaki-talks-dark-souls-3-freedom/
>>334207505
>This sounds like it could pass as real classical/gothic style music.
"no"
I like it a lot as well, but let's not pretend this isn't a soundtrack.
I've got a 980, i7 4790k and 16gb of ddr4 RAM.
I should be completely fine right? Or is the port that buggered?
>>334207696
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0LdIZ8TWYo
This is the best theme I've encountered so far. That fight was great, I hope no one ruined it by summoning for it.
>>334208028
Demon Ruins, Crystal Caverns and especially Lost Izalith are by far the worst Souls content there is.
The game would be significantly better if they were just cut from it
>>334205089
yes
>>334208019
Nah.
I've played BB at a friend and it's better than DeS wayyyyyyyyyyy better than DS2.
>>334208045
Dark souls 2 had some elements that wouldn't have changed with time though. Like feeling like a slug even in a super fast build. Not being able to snap in certain directions was realistic. But it'd frustrating as hell to roll and then attack a direction you didn't want to with a rapier. Rolling feels like I'm gliding and it's all so goddamn floaty.
>>334208269
Can't be worse than the PS4 version. Every time I enter a new area it's like a fucking slideshow
how the fuck do you mostly console players deal with this shit?
>>334208242
I'm willing to bet if i played a song from Dark Souls 3 for my Classical Music class professor without telling him it's from a game, he would believe it's by some unknown composer.
I'll do that tomorrow and bring back results.

What's so bad about them? I always see people say how bad these areas are, but no one explains why.
Holy fuck I just realized you can have 6 people in one world. I went from a 2 on 2 invasion in the cathedral deep to a 2 on 1 gank with the old wolf of farron covenant in a matter of seconds. I'm probably going to spend hours in low level pvp before I even finish this game.
>>334208028
The second half had its moments, but it's clear the quality of the map design took a nose dive after Anor Londo.
>>334208302
I think you're exaggerating alot here. Demon Ruins and Izalith was a nice boss rush area, and crystal caverns was pretty and changed the pace up a bit.
>>334208213
It is though.
The levels focus more on alternative paths than shortcuts, and the game as a whole is more like a branching tree than a web.
It's very different compared to DaS and Bloodborne
Just found some voiceless chick that let me join a covenant. Pulled a lever to raise a wall and found a shortcut but now I have no idea where I'm supposed to go. What do?
>>334207302
not a souls game but all miyazaki has to do is say "yes it is" and thats it. anyway, quit bitching and enjoy the fact you have access to a good fucking game like i did.
>>334208651
>not a souls game but all miyazaki has to do is say "yes it is" and thats it.
But he didn't, so what the fuck is your point?
>>334208550
I actually think Demon Ruins was pretty good, but how could you even ask that about Lost Izalith and Crystal Cave? Crystal Cave looked pretty but that's about it.
Nah. DaSI is still the best followed by BB
>>334208552
first invasor i have is a cheater with infinite hp.
good thing is the only one so far
I KEEP FUCKING CRASHING AFTER I SPAWN AT THE BON FIRE.
HELP. ME
>>334208759
Still no explanation.
I seriously fail to see how either of those areas are garbage. Constantly saying "it's just bad" isn't a good enough reason to say it's bad.
>>334208627
Behind the big altar on ground floor.
Past the giant behind a corner. There's a small staircase up to the altar.
>>334208240
>are you the developer now
No,but neither are you. I can understand why pvp has its appeal, but do you but the game for the cool enemies and world or just to fuck people over primarily?
>Linear there's nothing wrong with linear, bigger doesn't mean better
>No depth
I can understand why some of the later areas are shit but it's pretty good for the most part. You can warp between place to place(if you can handle 40 seconds of load time or not)but what do you mean by no depth
Dark Souls 3>BB>Dark souls 1>Dark Souls 2

Send me gameplay of someone doing that. That the core mechanics of any souls games and you can justify the games being simplistic but I'm willing to bet you've died once or twice, so I guess you're not as good as you think you are.
>>334208550
>>334208596
Demon Ruins:
>Starts with Ceaseless Discharge, which is next to nonfunctional. The "proper" way to beat it feels like an exploit.
>Past bosses strewn around so randomly the level editor becomes visible
>Capped with a recolored boss and a shitty boss
Lost Izalith:
>Barely animated props from another level as enemies
>Mostly a flat area with no level design
>Boss that doesn't do anything, but the floor randomly breaks so you'll die at least once
Crystal Caverns:
>Tiny hastily made area, but it's padded out by turning the floor invisible
>The slopes change movement speed unpredictably, which leads to unfair deaths
>>334208903
Lost Izalith was filled with copy paste Bounding Demons and shit loads of lava to fill space, the entire area with the Chaos Eaters was just tedious and annoying, and it was all topped off by the shittiest boss in the series. Demon Ruins were almost as bad, whoever decided to just stick a bunch of Taurus and Capra demons all over the place should be shot. Oh, and of course this area also houses a bunch of shitty bosses like Demon Firesage and Ceaseless Discharge.

Demon Ruins is the only truly shitty area
The rest are just mediocre
>>334205089
It has me more pissed off than Dark Souls 1. Some of the areas I have just said fuck it and ran past all the enemies. Being a cleric is suffering and lightning spear is shit. better to be a strength build or a magic/pyromancer build. Any recommendations for good swords that aren't high strength or dex?
>>334205089

Also, there is a lot of stuff in the trenches of the undead settlement

Dark Souls 2 was a shitty souls game but before the nerf clerics kicked ass.

Paladin Build.
I am not having a good time.
Just got to the Darkblade Covenant bonfire. I know I obviously have to git good, but I don't know if it's just me or what.
Everybody in this thread is saying it's a good game and I'm just mad. Lightning spear is garbage and there wasn't enough to both have decent armor and also good faith/magic.
Should I respec? Or just git good?
Just got to the Road of Sacrifices. The game is solid, but feels like it has zero identity of its own. Everything in the game feels like a watered-down concept from the previous ones, especially after they went balls to the wall with Bloodborne. It's uglier than BB too.

You haven't played DeS recently, I presume. Great game, but it only had a few neat gimmicks that DaS lacked and DaS was better in every other department.
I don't know man. Forest and swamp area have really fucking sapped the fun out of me right now. Seriously hoping the other areas are going to be much better. Not really liking how scarce upgrade materials are and how long it it takes to get on the upgrade path you want either. I want to try out all these weapons but I just can't waste the mats because they're not easy to come by.
BB > DeS > DaS3 (PS3) > DaS (PS3) > DaS2 (PS3) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> DaS3 (Other platforms) > DaS (Other platforms) > DaS2 (Other platforms
>>334214095
You start swimming in shards at the point in the game where there's no reason you'd ever need to upgrade a weapon anymore.
It's retarded.
JUST
>>334214272
So you don't like having more than one weapon?
>>334208873
>Pcucks
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>334205345
I am the biggest DkS1 fanboy there is. Have nearly 1000 hours on it, did some of the hardest challenge runs, favourite game. I expected so much from Dark Souls 3.
It is by far the best Souls game.
>>334214483
that is come stage 4 cancer gamma
>>334214604
I had no choice
The glare in this house is ridiculous
>>334214534
put 700 hours into DaS1 just from pvp
dunno if i'll even put 20 hours into DaS3 pvp though
its by far the worst
>>334214490
He's supporting your argument you illiterate idiot.
I don't like Dark Souls anymore after Bloodborne
The combat is shit comparatively
Fuck fat rolling
>>334214704
I'm not that anon, you presumptuous faggot.
So I've been grinding the first area right after firelink, where the 2 dogs are, level 27 now, how long should I grind before I am ready to take on the transforming thing right ahead of where I've been grinding?
>>334214707
git gud
>>334214879
Run up and kill it before it transforms.
The release of Dark Souls 3 has cemented Dark Souls 2's place as the greatest SoulsBourne game.
>>334214879
just kill it before it transform, there's literally no point in grinding like you are right now.
just go and have fun with the game
>>334207727
Yes. People said it would be sucking DaS1 cock but it really does feel like a tribute to the whole series.
The Demon Souls feel is there, first area after firelink has DeS level design and ambiance all over it.
So how long is it /v/? Ive clocked in 10 hours and im as far as crystal sage, whats the average?
>>334214062
>>334214083
I actually owned all of them and understood the mechanics well, it WAS and STILL IS a slight step down from DeS but it was still good. Its under because of my personal opinion.
Oh also Praise the Goddamned Sun you heathen!
>>334214026
I did. Found The covenant lady and empty Gwyndolins room. But there is nothing else
>>334214697
I can't tell yet. Really not a lot of experience with it yet. I first loved dks2 pvp way more than dks1, then 2 just seemed shitter and 1 better. I do agree that I already thought it was gonna be the worst pvp, but I think we should give it time, especially since I've had some really exhilarating fights.
Not like it matters though, since I'm a challenge runner, so pve is what makes it for me!
By the by, what's your steam? I know quite a bit of top tier dks1 pvpers
>>334215039
I'm at 29 hours and just reached the final boss, missed about 4 or 5 optional bosses
What is the point of all those shortcuts if they give you warping from the start?
>>334215004
>>334215009
Do the drops change for them?
if I kill before it transforms or after?
>>334215127
Keep looking, the next boss is close
>>334214975
>git gud
I have 100% achievement in every souls game and bloodborne
You git gud
>>334205089
Hell fucking no.
Game is fucking linear as fuck, equipment scalings is shit, boss weapon is awful, small amount of new equipment, all these copy pasted armours/weapons, ganks squad bosses, shitty overhead camera (fuck the winged bastard in the sacrificial road), bosses are stunlock/parry baits, shitty unoptmized shit, crashes crashes everywhere, invasion are fucked (9 out of 10 is a fucking gank fest), online is a lot worse than DaS2 (matchmaking is fuckede up) and blatant, shameless fan-service.
>people bitch about mobs ganks in DaS2
>DaS3 take it up a notch
>but its OK if Miyazaki does it
Also, people who praised the levels crealy haven't played the crowns dlc.

>>334215190
>By the by, what's your steam? I know quite a bit of top tier dks1 pvpers
i'm not one of them
I mostly ran joke builds in pvp and invaded in fun areas
painted world is by far the most fun area in all the souls games, so many places you can run around and so many ways to lose people chasing you
priscilla dagger + darkhand was my favorite combo in there
other then that I usually did forest invasions with four-pronged spear and shotel and sometimes cospvp as random enemies/npcs
really disappointed in DaS3 pvp so far, was really looking forward to it
>>334215684
Tbqh, I had to roll back my gpu drivers all the way back to 2013 to even get the game playable on my computer because of insane framerate drops.
Luckily it runs decently now after doing that, but I seriously think there's something wrong with Vram allocation or something in the game itself, which I hope they'll patch.
>>334215797
can't hurt
you'll get more
>>334215339
ah found the path. Im dumb. Thanks fampai
I'm liking it a lot but still haven't finished it. It'll probably be somewhere near the top, if not the top, but can't say yet.
DS2 > BB > DS1 > DeS
I'd accept BB at the top, I just had more fun with DS2.
Why are DS1friends so delusional?
Still prefer the first Dark Souls.
This game has great AI and all, but it's kinda boring.
>>334215039
I've clocked 20 or so hours and I'm at the dancer.
Granted, a few of those are probably me having the game tabbed/idling in firelink. While doing other business.
>>334215797
Not him but if you're at the very beginning I would. Or you could save it and find the Deep Axe which has dark infusion already. Elemental is superior early game. You're not going to have the stats nor the mats to really make a good weapon early on that would outclass elemental.

Are there any items like smooth and silky stone (useless except for trading to birds for RNG) or fragrant branch of yore (limited items that open up areas)?
>>334206258

>>334216335
No.
>>334216167
In term of world progression.
In DeS you are given 5 options to where you want to go.
In DaS you got 2 route initially with 4 more on the later half.
DaS2 gives you 5 initial route and 3 more with the DLC.
DaS3 is damn fucking linear.

Uh, no?
You have one option
My friend has gone all strenght he jas about 30 so far. He has been killing most npcs which i thought would cripple him. But i lead to him taking the lift down at the high wall killing the darkwraith and getting its full set in one kill. He put just enough in dex to use it and is 2 shooting everything now. Meanwhile i am playing dex/int like i always do and having a hard time. I had a hard time with thr old man giant tree that you beat his balls in. He beat him easily on his 2nd try. Worst part is im better at rolling and the skill parts of the game. He just does almost twice my damage cause the bs dark sword. Strenght needs a nerf or somthing.

You can't even directly compare DaS to the other because the world was interconnected and you didn't have warp. That's what made the early game so good.
>>334205089
I think it's tied for DaS1
Is anyone else getting lackluster performance?

>>334216812
I feel like Pontiff gets too much shit. Maybe I was overleveld or something but I beat it on my third try, Aldrich was waaaay harder for me. Pontiff actually gets easier at half hp because his phantom will show you what he's going to do before he does it.
>>334216885

Trying to do a sl10 no sheild run as my first. Lel. 12 hours in and just got to Tree Boss.
I think so. I've not played the other games and barely an hour of dark souls. Went on a whim and bought DS3, granted I have only 4 hours in it thus far since I started today. I die a lot, but I've got better weapons and it's fun to do things better. I'm surprised I like it, and I hope I'll continue playing it. I have so many other games on my backlog, Witcher, dying light expansion, mgs v, and so on. And the only game I play nowadays is ArmA 3 with my clan on weekends. Yet DS3 suddenly grabbed my attention and that seems to continue. And I've never even really liked those types of games. So something they must be doing correct, thanks for reading my blog.

Then what was it? I loved how it forced you to commit to the path you chose because you couldn't just warp away from every bonfire and exploration was rewarded with new shortcuts between areas.
bloodborne HEAVILY influenced this game beyond the engine usage
Miyazaki you are a fucking assholeFirt you make our trapboy become the main dish of the black mass of jello, then you transform Gwynever in a massive slut that bred with the many dwellers of the cathedral of the deep that birthed millions of slugs and now cuddles an eldritch monstrosity, not to mention that her servants literally bring her fucking tongues in the hopes of making her speak again, NOT ONLY THAT but you fucking use the "link the fire" thing fucking literally and create alternate universe bullshit around it to explain dark souls 2 and the cycles that are not actually cycles but no one fucking understanding who the fuck is behind the scene making shit go
Next thing we knowKaathe and Framp are actually ayylmaos from planet Zebes that got bored or something
fucking seriously
The release of this made me finally jump on the dark souls train, i'm planning to go in order, or should i just say fuck it and start with 3?
>>334217371
>bloodborne HEAVILY influenced this game beyond the engine usage
Which is a shame really. I prefer a game where you have to think about your next move and strategize as opposed to bloodbornes gotta go fast button mashing to win.
>>334207302
might not be, imagine that dark souls saga is this trio of super hot girls, perfect ass and tits, blue eyes, nice legs, etc..., then you have bloodborne, the cousin that is 1000 times even hotter than the sisters.
Why is everything a fucking maze
I want to play an action game not a god damned puzzle game
>>334216932
you can go through new londo all the way to the 4 kings fogdoor if you kill ingward
you can go through most of the tomb of the giants, i often go all the way down at the start of the game to pick up the soul items and the silver serpent ring
>>334216750
with the master key you can also get to blighttown, lower undead, the depths, the whole dark root area including the sif fight, the great hollow, ash lake, and the return to the undead assylum
without the master key you only need to kill the tauros demon to get access to these areas
it's fucking crazy how much stuff you can do in dark souls when you start out, i've put 500 hours into the game mostly through routing and trying new things, i doubt i'll be doing the same in das3 since it's literally just area -> boss -> area -> boss etc

>>334217052
>>334217536
A lot of references are gonna go WAY over your head if you play DaS3 first. With that said, DaS3 controls the best of all the Souls games, so you don't have to deal with some of the clunkiness of the previous ones.
>>334217536
Tbqh, it really doesn't matter, unless you are extremely into lore, and even the lore in the Souls series is very obscure and convoluted.
But if you never played a Souls game, prepared to get your ass handed to you for a while until you get more used to the ropes.
>>334217536
No real reason not to start with 3. The first has major issues on pc and isnt really as fun as the second in general.
If you are autistic and masturbate to lore, just watch plague of gripes playthrough.

1. A lot of the cool things I like about Dark Souls 3 is the references to the other games. Maybe I'm just a dumb fanboy but I feel like a lot of the satisfaction of playing through the first time was seeing the things it related to the first game
2. Dark Souls 3 is the hardest game of the series, so it will be hell for a new player.
Take that as you will

That was a valid statement before Bloodborne and DS3 released, and it was only valid until you got to anor londo and anything that came after it.
>>334218121
How is the world design of DS3 anywhere close to DS1?
>>334205089
I don't know. I certainly prefer it to DaS2, but I wasn't as awe-inspired by the areas and bosses like I was in Bloodborne.
It was a great game, but it didn't wow me as much as I expected it to. I think a major problem was just how much of the game took place in catacomb style areas. It felt like the fucking Chalice Dungeons all over again.
>>334208269
You'll be fine bro
>>334217969
I'm at the catacombs, how much until that dungeon? Also the guards here use something that looks like the mura, but I dont think they drop it, do they?
>>334218417
>I think a major problem was just how much of the game took place in catacomb style areas. It felt like the fucking Chalice Dungeons all over again.
THIS so hard
>>334205089
Still not as good as Bloodborne
>>334218193
It's far more consistent, large sprawling areas with good enemy and item placement. DS3 areas are more fun than DS1 areas regardless of shortcuts linking areas, which only applies to the first half of DS1, the latter half is the worst level design in the series.
tfw gwynevere is the mother of rebirth.
>>334218518
Pretty far to go. Past the catacombs is the city, then the dungeon halfway through, but you can only enter the city with a special item you find elsewhere

I don't get what is so "awe-inspiring" about Bloodborne's areas at all tbqh. Like 99% of the game is like dark and dreary Gothic streets.
>>334218578
I can only assume you're talking about the late game areas in DS3 because the early game felt like it had way too many large open areas where everything looks the same. The swamp may be the worst area in the series.
>>334217915
Fifth rehash, anon. Fifth.
>>334218925
Nothing, they are all dull sameish streets you spend most of the game on because it reuses areas.
>>334205089
It's great but nothing will ever capture the lightening in the bottle that was 1
>>334207856
I seriously don't get the hate for DaS2 at all. Its a pretty good game. I enjoyed it a lot.
>>334219157
its just the worst one, its good just not as good.
>>334218930
>The swamp may be the worst area in the series
Frigid outskirts would like a word.
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that 90% of the areas in this game look like they're taken straight from Bloodborne?
I'm not very far into it, but just coming off of Salt & Sanctuary makes me wish I didn't have to deal with this shit camera again.
It's disappointing.
1st few levels were great but the game already went to shit, swamp was tedious, catacombs and demon ruins are fucking awful and bland. Please tell me it gets better.
>>334218792
Okay, I'm doing well with the scimitars I guess, any medium/heavy DEX weapon worth using out there? I tried to love the great scythe but its just not the same

>when both games have the same problems.
Like what?
>>334219540
Not him but honestly why would you buy a $500 movie box with only one game?
3 games later and they still haven't made an area as fucking neat as the Painting World from DS1.
Stop being edgy and give the game the praise it deserves. It's pretty fucking great and I've been enjoying myself wandering around and exploring, 2 hours in and not even on the second boss. Stop the sinicism about pvp and how you beat the game in 10 hours because you're lying shills.
>>334219884
What's so neat about the Painted World?
I think my biggest issue with DS3 is that they gave a LOT of enemies BB tier type attacks where they just go for apeshit and don't stop attacking. While they're very fast you're still Dark Souls tier movement which is slow and the only way to fast is to roll and you can't fast step like in BB nor do you attack as fast unless you have daggers.
I might be the only one thinking this though.

The world design is the worst part.
>>334220050
It's really good, but it is actually really fucking short.

holy shit I hate that, Tbh I knew the game would be shit ever since I saw from the gameplay trailers that it's Bloodborne v2

He's been sperging about the game way before it released.
>>334220221
And I'm not seeing you or anyone addressing any of his points. He can shove the avatar up his ass but he's not wrong.
>>334217028
There's no reason to be asspained. He doesn't like the game, you do.

>>334205089
Definitely. It does everything well, only people bitching are dickwraiths and fuck them they don't understand the spirit in these games.
>>334220087
I've definitely been feeling much more stiff in relation to the enemies, but I just chalked that up to being a Warrior. I've always ended up playing as a guy two-handing a big fucking stick when I've played these games (even when I tried playing a DEXfag), but the problem's so bad that I was thinking of starting over as a Wanderer.
HOW IS THE LORE / ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING IN THIS GAME?
DOES IT COMPARE TO THE FIRST HALF OF DAS1
THIS IS IMPORTANT

Why did someone tazer captain america?
>>334220319
Because his points are moot at best.

Dude you all three spellcaster vendors in the first settlement. Miracle is a little trickier to unlock but if you're paying attention you'll find her easily.
>>334220438

3rd try. He's fine if you just keep to his right and try to get under him.
>>334220530
Three, because I couldn't see shit when I was halfway up his ass and he kept flipping around and making the camera spaz out.
>>334220604
fuck off you underage retard
>>334220530
I beat him on my 3rd
First try learned all his attacks
2nd try practiced timing my rolls
3rd try beat him using 1 estus
He didn't have a lot of health
Now greatwood has a shit ton of health
>>334220743
It took me a long time to realize that you need to basically be directly behind his ass.
>>334220713
Not really. DaS is actually good.
What's up with the world design?
Is everything just on floating rocks?
Such a shame, the over environmental design is great, but there's times where I look off the edge of a cliff and parts of the geometry just repeat themselves, same textures over and over again, etc. Really pulls me out of the experience.
>>334220919
Same shit as in DaS 2, the first one did it really well, everything connected, could literally see other areas from a far away.
>>334220919
I think everything is on cliffs that are very high up
I like it except for the fact that every enemy has a fucking 7-attack combo.
>>334221005
>the first one did it really well, everything connected, could literally see other areas from a far away.
>Is everything just on floating rocks?
Also, everything being connected in the way DaS1 is made the world less believable. Some shortcuts are completely nonsensical.
>>334220919
Everything is way up in some mountains.
Castle Lothric is the "center" of the world, and the domains of the lords of cinder converge underneath it.

I just killed the Aldritch fag in Anor Londo, but right after I last hit it, I was killed with its AoE shit, then the cutscene kicked in and when it was over I obviously died.

>>334221273
Have you looked if your souls are either at Aldritch or at the Dancer boss rooms?
>crashing whenever I approach a bonfire
WAKE ME UP INSIDE
>>334221414
I've checked everywhere all over the boss room and even outside it etc. Haven't fought dancer yet though.
>>334220071
it had a demon souls boss in it, which was pretty neat.
also a passive boss
also you couldnt leave, which was nice that they didnt warn you.
i remember having to do the whole area with no moss clumps. that was a neat experience.
also the xanthus set looks pretty neat it was also the best farming area if you had one of the big explodey pyromancies- firestorm?
>>334205089

People were praising DaS2 at release too, but then people started recognizing the flaws and now opinions are mixed at best.
My guess is in a few months the general consensus will be DaS > DaS 3 > DaS 2.No point bringing up DeS or Bloodborne because they're different IPs and people get biased one way or the other because console wars.
So i killed Aldritch, now where do i go?
>>334221489
The cutscene should have teleported you to the Dancer's boss room, right where the old lady who gave you the banner is, hence why I'm asking.
If my computer could run Witcher 3 pretty well, can it run this?
I have a 670.
>>334221708
Yeh, i'm running it very well with 670 and i have 2 monitors and a shitty CPU as well so you should be fine
>>334221708
Yes you can. Shouldn't be a problem.
>>334220530
one try. i didnt even get hit.
he srsly cant hit you if youre under his belly except for with like 2 attacks which you can block and have enough time to recover from poisebreak before he does anything else. same with his dashes.
i didnt even make it past ng+ in either of the previous games. just roll through all his shit straight at him
>>334210789
nice you described dark souls perfectly friend
>>334221635
After the cutscene I just died at the bonfire in Aldritch's boss room.
>>334217536
Start with 1. You can skip 2 if you want.
>>334220604
look, man. i like ds3 a lot but this isnt a hugbox its a discussion.

They hyped themselves up in circlejerks and then paid 60€ or 89€ for the game. They WANT it to be good.

No, Dark Souls 3™ the masterpiece by FromSoft© with unparalleled better than real life graphics will not run on anything but the absolute best of computers. Witcher 3 does not come even close to comparing, you blasphemous fool.
>>334222448
Which area do i start looking for them then?
>>334212067
wait and watch the dragon from the staircase and run past it during one of the moments its not breathing fire and open the shortcut. bait the knight and the other guy back down the path next to aforementioned staircase and the guy will stop while youre fighting the knight and the dragon will burn him. circle-strafe around the knigh till he attacks and then backstab him, whie hes getting up start sharging a heavy attack and release it on him before he can do anything about it then light attack while hes staggered. rinse/repeat. dont let the game make you mad bruh, you do worse when you try again and also youre getting mad at an inanimate object.

Anyone?
so what weapon has the best dex scaling? Im still using the good old fire uchigatana. Haven't found any spectacular dex weapons.
you know after buying a PS4 to play Bloodborne and then selling it immediately after beating it just so I wouldn't have to look at it and feel shame anymore I think I can now safely say that PC won the Souls race
From is now officially PC's bitch and they have to do everything we tell them to basically sorry sonybros I would say you put up a good fight but you didn't

DaS2 is the worst souls game though
Demon's is better than any Dark Souls game
>>334222836
the fire uchi doesnt scale at all
i know theres at least one thing with A scaling in dex, cant remember what it was i found it earlier when searching through the. wiki for something with Str and Faith scaling of which theres nothing really.
the best i could find were some str/dex spears with D scaling in faith
basically everything scales with strength and dex. theres essentially no reason to run anything but a strength dex with minimal int or faith.
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Weapons here you go.
Nobody's going to mention the copypasted NPC's and locations? THis feels lazy and pandering as fuck.

>AND ANDRE? YOU REMEMBER ANDRE RIGHT??

I'm still confused, dont remember any spider monsters and i cant find anywhere to go/to do at vordt old lady place
Is Crystal Sage the worst boss of the series or is it just me? He's paper with shit moveset and gimmick

>>334223425
He's up there (Assuming we're not factoring in puzzle bosses like Dragon God and Bed of Chaos), but the Leechmonger and that witch in the barn from BB are both crappier.
>>334223465
>Bosses are pretty shit too I hope the dlc is good.
Yet they're better than the ones in vanilla DaS and arguably on the same tier as BB.
>>334223332
i liked demon's less than all of the souls games.
>>334223508
You can't have an opinion anyway because you haven't played the game, you dont own a PS3
you only played Souls on PC
>>334223409
yeah I know that fire does not scale that's why I want a new weapon with a decent scaling before I start investing in dex. Thanks for the link
>>334223708
I played it on a self-coded PS3 emulator.
Now answer my question.
>>334223425
youre forgetting about the bed of chaos.
its okay though, you probably repressed the memory
>>334223584

Why did DaS3 force you to use an NPC to level up anyways? Is it just "dude DeS lmao" again?
It worked in DeS because the hub basically acted as a level select. Every area was separate and distinct. You could access the areas in any order (after 1-1), kind of like Megaman. The hub was what tied them all together, and housed most of the important NPCs that acted as shops and a level-up screen. Each level served as a gauntlet that had to be overcome, and afterwards you could access the hub again and use your newly acquired souls to progress your character. You had to access the hub to reach the other levels anyways, so it wasn't forced.
DaS' areas were connected and didn't require the same kind of dedicated hub to progress, so the game moved level-ups to bonfires. That made perfect sense and made things more convenient. And yet for some reason DaS2 and DaS3 brought back a forced level-up NPC that makes you constantly go back to a hub area, despite having connected levels. I can only conclude it was for fanservice (Maiden in Black references everywhere), because they're completely redundant and a step backwards from DaS.

Have about 400 hours on DaS1, 50 on 2. I am having a hell of a time and I'm only at the cathedral. Mobs are doable if tense but "human" enemies (not sure how best to describe them, the ones with player capabilities like the two near the first Cathedral bonfire) and bosses other than Vordt are giving me hell. Everything is just so fast. How long before I'm used to this? Should I start using FP attacks? Wielding a bastard sword with the poisiest armor I can get (which seems to be useless).

clight town is the worst imo.

now that theyre done with the series though theyre free to remake ds1 how they wanted
>>334224846
But half the bosses in Demon's are dude circlestrafe lmao and the other half are dude roll and stunlock lmao like in DSIII.
>>334225075
Not very many at all actually.
It's useful against backstabable enemies throughout most of the game though.
>>334224607
Pretty much. You can't be summoned forever but you can summon someone using a password and that removes all restrictions on levelcap and weapon upgrade cap. your friend phantom will just get scaled down to your level.

I enjoyed 2 a lot more than most games in my life, but I recognize its faults.
Here's hoping DaS3 maintains this level of quality throughout.
>>334225261

>>334224997
i dont know man, im grossly incandescent right now in 3.
>>334225295
It started off dead since you have to fucking buy a white soapstone and most dummies haven't figured that out yet.
You'll get summoned but it's hard to find summons sometimes.
>>334225262
How'd you circle strafe moonlight butterfly?
>>334225302
das2 does have the best fire keeper though
man das3's fire keeper is boring as fuck
>>334225295
no way, all the boss areas and mildly hard areas are grossly incandescent with signs
>>334224732
I don't mean literally physically connected, I mean you can go from one to the other without having to access a forced separate hub like The Nexus. If DeS is Megaman then DaS is closer to something like Symphony of the Night (before you take that the wrong way, I'm not saying they're perfectly similar so don't fucking greentext me).
>>334225437
eh, sure, a bit of hyperbole (but that fight was super easy anyway)
the DLC bosses are a bit better too, but vanilla bosses can all be beaten by circlestrafing and sometimes backing off a bit when they do their aoe attack close to their body that they always have
>>334225262
That doesn't work the first time you fight a Capra Demon.
It also isn't feasible the first time you fight Taurus Demon.
You can't do it against Bed of Chaos.
Or Prescilla
or Gwyndolin
or centipede demon
or demon firesage
or kalameet
or manus
or seath
or sif
>>334225653
That seems to describe almost every boss in the souls series though.
>>334225686
prescilla gives you a weapon for circle strafing. so does seath, and kalameet.
the demon firesage is definitely most easily beaten from behind, and centipede demon wasnt even a boss.
Remember when the souls series was a fair game and not having fat ass aenemies that you can't backstab and multiple enemies rushing at you at once unironically?
>>334225864
not really, good luck doing that on most das2/3 fights
turn speed increased (in das2's case, literally 100% perfect tracking), bosses gained teleports or multiply
>>334225448
The Emerald Herald was good yes, and she would go places other than Majula, which was a treat.
It's a shame her whole backstory was removed from the game, I'd have liked to see her childhood.
>>334226387
Unless there was a patch you could circle strafe almost all of the bosses in das2. Obviously not literally hold left or right, but circle strafing with dodges and backing off if they had an AoE would defeat most of them.
am I the only one having trouble finding bonfires? Why are areas so big and long between bonfires?
