This game being hard was just a meme wasn't it.
16 hours in and I don't think I've died to a boss more than twice.
Does it ever get hard?

>Playing souls games for the difficulty

You're right. I fell for the meme. Now for the big one.

you're too good
that's not fair to the game
>>334292031
>play the game like a retard then its hard
By that logic why don't you be some Quake champion using your feet.
I put my points in endurance and strength with a bit of vitality to stop getting one-shot. Endurance is literally the only health stat worth getting.
>>334292279
there's no excuse for that armour combo though
>>334291571
What SL are you? I'm putting you at about 80 with all that VIG and END.

I bet you're overleveled too you clueless piece of shit.
>>334291571
Holy fuck you're fashion souls is retarded as fuck, get some matching armors jesus.
>>334292364
I picked based on weight and best values for their weight. If playing like a retard is the only way to make this game hard then the game isn't in any way, shape, or form hard.

>>334292730
You could literally grind souls for 10 hours and be over leveled for the rest of the game and not die once. It's up to you to choose how casually you want to build your character. I don't know why this is a surprise to you, considering every single souls gameand most rpgsare like this. Also, I know this is an anonymous imageboard and no one cares, but you're embarrassing yourself.
>>334292632
>Implying vigor makes the game easy.
Nigga,the more points you put in vigor the less damage you make
>>334291571
>That health bar taking up half the screen
>Full armor with a shield
How did you die to anything at all even once? I'll bet you summoned too
>>334292945
So the game isn't hard then, that's all I'm saying. If people find this game hard you're saying it's because they're retarded?
I can deal with that.
>>334291571
The difficulty curve is a lot more gradual now.
It used to be you wouldn't uograde your weapons for a long time, and would have to make do with shit scaling and low health.
Now you can vit stack because you can upgrade your weapons quickly, cheaply, and comfortably. I remember playing Demon's Souls and all of those undead bastards in 1-1 would take 4-5 hits to kill over the 2-3 it takes in later games.
>>334293069
I summoned once in some swamp and I quickly realised I was rushing through trying to keep up with him and I was missing out on stuff. Never summoned since.
>>334291571
>Over-level the fuck out of yourself early in the game
>LOL WHY IS IT SO EASY GUISE?
Gee, I wonder. 5 of those 16 hours were likely you farming at the graveyard near the cathedral.
>>334291571
>Does it ever get hard?
Nope, it's only as hard as you make it (via build and gear choices); if you select optimally, you'll breeze right through the game.
>enter swamp
>invaded by NPC
>invaded by player
>kill both
>>334293591
Again, playing like a fucking retard and then saying it's hard is literal autism.
>>334293385
If you use that logic, then pretty much any non pvp game with an xp bar is easy.
>play all 4 games in the series
>look up build and weapon info on wiki/4chan
>complain the game is too easy
You probably summoned for bosses too.
>>334293750
>then pretty much any non pvp game with an xp bar is easy.
Not OP, but that's true and that's the appeal of PvP. Real humans (assuming a sufficiently good matchmaking system and player base) will always be challenging, PvE challenge is always the same.
>>334293750
They are easy so long as the game relies on motor skills instead of mathematics.
>>334293776
>first dark souls game
>never looked up a build, just noticed endurance is basically regenerating health
>only summoned once but not for a boss
I'm quickly learning this games fanbase is actually autistic.
>>334291571
Is this your first Souls game?
If it is, I'll have to say I'm impressed. You'd be fucking lying though.
We are 4 (or 5 if you played BB) games into the series. If you are a veteran of the series, you are over the learning curve. The game shouldn't be that difficult because you probably already spent hours playing the other games. The mechanics carry over between each game.
Complaining that DaS3 isn't hard after playing each game in the series would be like expecting to learn how to read again every time you started a new book.
Don't play the game for the difficulty. Play it for thefun
>>334291571
Come back when you hit the dancer.
>>334291571
Nobody thinks the games are hard, just somewhat challenging. The whole "so difficult" meme is just Bamco marketing.
To be fair, though, the Broadsword is one of the most OP weapons for PvE due to its damage, especially when refined.
But, again, the games were never intended to be extremely difficult.
>broadsword, widely accepted as one of the most overpowered pre-balance-patch weapons in the game
>refined at that
>mix and match armour set for extra min-max
>vigour breaking into the neighbour's screen
>hurr durr game is easy
nigga we all know you trying to rustle up flamjams
>>334294329
>the Broadsword is one of the most OP weapons for PvE due to its damage, especially when refined.
What the hell? Since when? I looked at the damage difference between upgrading it normally and refining it and its about the same, the only bad way you could upgrade it is by making it Raw. I also looked at the Longsword stats and they were about the same, with the Broadsword winning only slightly, how the hell is the Broadsword considered OP?
>>334291571
Yes, you're good. It's not a hard game, everyone else just sucks at it. Yes.
Is this what you wanted to hear?
>>334293591
Not him but I never grinded and still ended up with lvl ~80 and a +10 refined broadsword right at Lothric Castle. Hell, I went through areas so fast that I apparently missed half the items. It's probably the easiest souls game.
>>334294615
Refined makes it scale well with a quality build.
>>334294615
it's not that it's OP per se, it's just that the scaling on everything else is gutted and most weapons have shit damage so that the broadsword's damage on a quality build looks massive in comparison, plus its weapon arts are pretty fantastic.
>>334291571
I know right. Like, I just bought the game, and I haven't even played it and I haven't died a single time. Stupid casuls roflmaocopter.
>>334291571
Played DS2 for the first time last 2 months and I can hardly say that the game was a challenge. Didn't rage quit and 100 deaths is pretty normal for a real game.
Souls games don't get hard, haven't played the 3rd yet one but I woulnd't expect it to get hard, infact I bet the last boss will be anti climatic.
Thre reason for all this "Souls games are hard" bandwagon is just newfag casuals who were never exposed to real games. They grew up playing movie-games where you can't die or if you do die, you spawn in nearby checkpoint. Then most action sequences are quick time events with buttons that must be pressed in the correct order and time to progress, much like a toddlers toy (pic somewhat related).
It's like a murican driving a manual car for the first time after driving an automatic all their lives. They feel like they aren't in control anymore because, truth be told, they were never in control, they were just delusional, it was just auto pilot, so they start freaking out and quit because it's too much to handle.
>>334292279
OP you've got it all wrong. What made any souls game enjoyable(Yes I find them difficult, go ahead shit on me) was finding a way to make the game easier, yet not too easy. Not many people realize they are doing this while they play,but thats just how it happens. Several people who have gone the magic route have told me that the game just wasn't fun. They had made it too east for themselves. Then their are those who will equip the heaviest armor and dump all their points into vitality. They don't see the game as fun simply because after that point it becomes automatic.
>>334294990
Dude, I've all of the games multiple times, and I say this one is easily the hardest one.
Bigger levels, more ambushes more enemies who are stronger, faster and more aggressive than the ones from the previous games, it takes a fucklong time to max your estus count, you are forced to spread your stats around more in this one too, even if you're a mage.
At least the bosses are fair save for a few, and they are no longer massive damage sponges like they were in DS2 and BB.
The easiest game in the series is easily the first Dark Souls, it had slow enemies who wouldn't ever be grouped up, and almost all bosses only had a single phase, so after you learned their half a dozen moves, you're good to go. And lets not forget how easy it was to make a cookie cutter build in that game, considering how overpowered the END stat was, and how subpar quality builds were to weapons with fixed damage and no scaling, meant you could get the minimum STR and DEX requirements, and then dump all the rest of the levels into VIT and END.
And just for your information, OP, the reason I played those games wasn't because they were hard, because no RPG can be truly hard, unless there is a limit of how much you can grind, I played this series because the games are fun and rewarding.
>people mad at a big health bar
i literally couldnt think of a better build than hp build, we DeS again baby you can even start with a fire gem VIT GOUGE NIGGAS
>>334293662
Can't you only be invaded by a player if you have people with you? So that's really not impressive.
Cant blame him for listening to the marketing though, can you?
The games have been getting easier. Demon souls would actualy make the game harder evertime you die. You would lose health upon respawning and the game would sometimes throw a sudo boss/invader at you. It was frustrating desu, like I'm already having a hard time and now I have to fight an npc invader upon spawning. BB and DaSoul3 are a cake walk, BB being slightly easier.
>>334293447
In old games, you duped to counteract the scaling.
Duping in this game will make it a complete joke
>>334292031
I don't get it, you're not suppose to play like that or something?
>>334297712
>duping in Demon's Souls
Heresy
>>334292945
What he did didn't take 10 hours of autistic grinding. He just grabbed some gear that he could roll in with high defense.
It's not wrong to use common sense to survive.
I'm stacking vit myself just because my Deep Axe overpowers any of my scaling weapons. Or is that playing wrong?
Should I have dumped them into Dex so my character could be exceedingly weak the whole time instead? Maybe I should have thrown it all into attunement.
>>334297664
Also in DeSouls you could not use a slash attack when you were by a wall or it would stagger you, games are now pretty casual.
>>334292506

You need to git gud. Dude has some crazy reach, and you'll also need to get a read on his supernova, or else it'll fuck you up. Stay close to his tail as often as you can, but be ready to roll away when necessary.It's also an optional boss fight, so you could also just skip it.

Try the optional boss fights, Champion Gundyr is a beast
So /v/, What's considered over leveling for this game?
I just beat the final boss at around level 85, didn't spend anytime farming or sunbroing, just pretty much went throught the game straight, and dd most of the optional stuff I found except for Storm King.
Was I overleveled?
None of the souls games are *that* hard, but III is easily the hardest one. Combat is much faster paced, enemies hit considerably harder than the previous games, poise/stability was nerfed to allow enemies to combo you more easily, and the invincibility period upon getting up was reduced. On top of that, upgrade materials are paced to prevent you from +5/+10ing weapons early like you could in DaSI, equip load and rolls are more balanced to prevent abuse, and various other small tweaks like only having access to a single, extremely delayed Ember heal per fight
>>334294229
I did no bonfire no deaths run. And I still die...but like you said, I play it for fun. Altough they should patch invasions...
>>334297124
I get invaded within 10 minutes of being embered every single time and I never summon other players.
The fucking Abyss Watchers are killing me right now. I could probably handle one of the Watchers at a time, but then the second comes and they start gang-banging me into a corner until I die. And by the time I get to the second stage with the Embered version, I don't have any Estus left to keep myself alive through the battle.
What the fuck am I supposed to do to handle these fuckers?
>>334291571
>shield
>still dies
Jesus, you're bad.
>>334303316
I had some trouble with them. Get damage in on the first one before the second one summons. When both are active, keep both in view at all times and literally just run around. Don't try to attack.
Eventually the third one will pop up and they'll gangbang him. You can get some damage in when they're attacking the red-eye dude but he doesn't last long, and if you get too close to the mosh pit you'll get fucked since their attacks all have huge arcs. Try using a weapon with long range, like a spear or thrusting sword or something. He doesn't have much health so a couple good combos and you should be good.
In the second part, stick close to his body and don't roll too far out from him or the flames will clip you. Best chances to hit him are after his ground slam and after he charges at you. You have to roll through most of his attacks since they have ridiculous range (something to get used to actually).
>>334303316
Get the watchers to attack each other
>>334303316
Abyss Watchers pretty much tests your understanding of PvP gitgud mechanics. If you can learn to iframe into attacks, backstab, and perfect parry every time, the boss becomes a cakewalk. Otherwise if you're a normal person and not an MLG gaming savant like every single fucking Souls player claims they are, try this:
>Enter fog door, he'll most likely do the drift attack into you. Roll through it and get a few hits in. Circle around and get a backstab if you can.
>Dodge and poke through openings until you hear second guy pop up. Immediately run and pick up your soul if you've lost it in a previous run.
>Keep running away from them, and try to keep yourself 90 degrees from their line of sight all the time, that way their lunge and drifting attacks should JUST miss you. Don't ever stop moving.
>Wait for third guy to show up. At least two of them should start to brawl. Take care of the third one while the two are distracted. If you're lucky all three will brawl it out. Repeat until 3rd phase. Do not engage as long as there are only 2, they will both focus you.
>Phase two: Run and dodge from EVERYTHIING until he does the jumping Sheev Spin. That's his longest downtime. Use this to fish for potshots or heal up. If you estus as soon as you see him do the flying leap, you'll finish chugging before he gets back up.
Be careful of the "wall of fire" attack on Phase 2. He'll dash toward you with his sword scraping the ground, and the line will erupt moments later. Double dodge to avoid it if you need to. Keep at it and don't give up.
>>334291571
Your health bar more than doubles mine even when I have an ember active.
Who /sorcery/ here?
I love getting invaded during a Souls launch. I'm not even good at PvP but the amount of shitters is insane.
>invaded in the pre-anor londo area by one of those belltower replacement covenant dudes
>think he's an NPC invasion cause he has a title
>just sprints around trying to fling pyromancies at me
>starts spamming estus after getting his ass whooped
>runs to the area with the archers to try and cheese me to death
>literally sitting there spamming gestures while the archers fire at me behind cover
>eventually just sprint up to where he is standing, quick parry and punt him off a ledge
>get killed by an arrow immediately afterwards
Also, invaders can estus now? What the fuck is that about?
>>334291571
If you've played any other souls game this game really doesn't offer anything new, thats probably why it doesn't feel too hard
>>334297124
No, you just have to be embered. Matchmaking just tends to favors co-op sessions. Levels and location also affects it. If you're over leveled in a particular area the chances of invasion will drop.
You can just summon dark phantoms and mound makers if you want voluntary PvP anyway.
>>334298893
That's coolas long as the shield is 100% of the time on the back and you are two handing that shitty broadsword.
>>334291671
This is actually the problem with DS3, someone in the dev team somewhere thought "People seems to like the idea of Souls being hard, so wheel just add loads of shit everywhere again because that's so hard".
The general design is just so lazy, everything is a really unthreatening ambush and there are more fucking mimics than the two previous games combined because "LOL XDDDD MIMICS".
>>334292279
Meta fags need to die
>literally hundreds of weapons
>pick the most efficient instead of what you like most
>>334298534
NPC dark wraiths, and wall hitting are both still a thing. Have you even played the new games? Diminishing health is a shit mechanic.
>>334300249
I did it at 35 just now so no.
>>334305538
You're thinking of DaS 2. The enemy placement is pretty fair in 3, and larger enemies are actually threatening not because they're two or three together, but because they actually are a threat by themselves.
>>334307112
>Fight fire demon at Undead Settlement
>Perfectly dodge every attack and take him down to quarter health before Siegward can even get a hit in
>Fight fire demon at Carthus
>Get fucking destroyed 5 times, and have to cheese him up the stairs.
Fuck me. Why can't I be consistently good at this game? Half the time I'm untouchable with perfect timing and parries, and the other half I'm eating shit hit after hit and dodge into attacks rather than out of them.
>>334308130
I mostly agree. Man, that hallway in the catacombs where the skeletons throw homing dark bolts bombs at you was fucking brutal. Such a simple thing and it fucked me up multiple times trying to get down to Smouldering Lake.
>>334296692
>The easiest game in the series is easily the first Dark Souls
This. Don't forget how fucking easy it was to cheese enemies with backstabs. Backstabbing made black knights trivial on 1 . Fuckers on here complain about the enemy tracking because they can't backstab fish enemies anymore. Here's the thing about backstabbing: you can still backstab mobs, but you have to do it after they make an attack that leaves them open (just like when you're fighting a player).
You're not supposed to grind that many soul levels and then expect enemies with set dmg values to feel hard
>>334291571
op why does ur character look like shit
>>334305203
Invaders and Phantoms start with 3 estus and get more for each player kill, I think. But yeah, people are silly at launch.
>Catacombs bonfire, some guy fakes a white summon sign and invades me when I just want help dealing with the invisible rolling fuckers in the hallway.
>Blocks off the end of the hall breathing poison at me.
>Sling fireballs at him from safety.
>After chugging 3 times he gives up and tries to 1v1 me with starting axe
>Parry him to death
Thing is though, he probably got a bunch of people like that and thought he discovered a 10/10 epic troll technique. His skin was bright green and he even had dank in his name.
>>334292279
Unless you plan on pvping ide say use soul levels on int/faith/str/dex/luck 1st playthrough to experience using all the items/builds one way or the other instead of following a min maxed guide and trying to impress people for defeating AIs
>>334308859
I thought the bosses in Dark Souls were by far more challenging then what I've fought int DS3 so far (just finished catacombs and crystal sage).
The real difficulty I've hit so far is the large variety of dickhead overly aggressive enemies you'll encounter who do a shit ton of damage.
>>334304037
>>334304687
>>334304817
I've been taking your advice, and I'm getting through farther, but still getting fucked up by the Fire stage.
I've been using my Irithyll Straight Sword one-handed. Do you think the shield will be of any use, or is the sword alone better?

>y-yeah why do play it for the d-difficulty
>>334302992
I beat it at 82, after 18 hours. I'd say around the 80 mark is standard, 100+ is overlevelled. The enemies in the final stretch give insane souls.
>>334291571
>not hard
>died at least 2 times in boss battles
it is by far, the easiest souls game at the start (if you roll knight, but even then it's still pretty easy)
it's once you get to the abyss watchers that the game starts getting challenging.
so you fatroll at >70% equip load like ds2 ?
roll travel distance is still affected by it tho ?
>>334309964
I have yet to encounter an actual somewhat challenging boss, most of them are just slow and stupid and the abyss watchers were easy as fuck since pretty much everything stunlock them and you can backstab them too
the game would be perfect imo if everything in the game had like, 20% more health
as it is, I'm destroying most things before they can manage to do any damage to me except for the higher-tier monsters

>>334309651
They attack so hard and fast that unless you're using a shield to parry, you shouldn't be blocking unless it's a last-minute stray hit. The straight swords have pretty good 1-handed R1s since they are fast. Thing about shields is they also give you stats just by being equipped so I wouldn't ditch it completely. 2-handing might give you more poke range, but I find being able to end a hit faster and dodge away is more important during a clusterfuck.
Phase 1 is pretty cheesy and you can easily get combo'd if you get distracted. Just try to run away and conserve your heals as much as possible. Phase two is a straight up test of skill. Learn which moves have enough downtime for you to sneak a few hits in, and ONLY attack during that time. Frustration tends to make you get more and more impatient each time you tackle a boss, especially if it's been killing you again and again.
Don't get antsy and wait for the right time to strike. Never spam attacks, even if the boss is a single hit away from dying. Don't try to go for more than 2 hits at a time, 3 at most. Sometimes they seem like they're being stagger-locked, only to suddenly recover at the last minute and slam you into the ground. Sneak in single attacks at a time and dodge away if you have to.
Finally, try to dodge INTO lunging attacks rather than away, or you'll most likely end up eating it anyway when your iframes end. The spinning jump attack he does puts him in perfect position for a backstab if you dodge past it, rather than away from it.
If all else fails, just summon help. Or if your dignity won't allow it, throw a sign down and help someone else tackle the boss so you can dick around with timings without repercussions.
Keep trying bruv, don't give in to despair, that's what those nips want you to do.
>>334310785
I'll try my best. I got him down to 1/10th his health in Phase 2, I think I can get him.
>>334291571
Yes, it was a popular fad back then. Normies and faggots who have never played a hard game in their god damned lives thought it was the coolest and hardest shit ever. Now its just a "meh" rpg
>>334308130
No, Dark Souls 3 is just as guilty of this, just think of the Lothric Knights in Lothric Castle, they throw 1 at you and it's aggressive and does some decent damage, then they decide to throw two and then three and make no consideration of line of sight.
The room for the Darkmoon Covenant has 2 of the Boreal Valley entrance dogs because "LOOK GUYS IT'S HARD". Rarely do they make an emeny more threatening, they just add another one.
I honestly think it's Namcai's hand in this shit from a marketing stand point but they could've just sorely fucked up again.
>>334309795
The reason people say 'git gud' is because you actually have to be bad to find the games difficult. hence, 'you don't play them for the difficulty'. Is that difficult to understand?
>>334303316
That boss took me quite a few attempts, but eventually just started fishing for backstab windows. It's the only way to do appreciable damage on the second phase, and the third watcher spawn on first phase will draw their attention long enough for you to get a guaranteed backstab each time he spawns.
Hardest boss yet, but I hate multi-mob fights, especially with multiple phases. One watcher with boosted damage would've been more fun.
Yes.
>>334312182
If you find the Irithyll Straight Sword to be lacking, but still want a decent straight sword, try killing those 2 dark knights outside of the boss door (those guys that come in and start wiping out the mutant goat-men). They drop Dark Swords often, which is a pretty great weapon even with just 1 or 2 upgrades. Has decent range, too.
people play soulsborne games for the lore, not the difficulty.
why would a zelda-like game be hard
>>334312764
Why is this screenshot so fucking funny
What really annoys me about this game is that it's never fair.
It's never just a fight, or just an item on the ground, there's always some dumb fucking catch.
>Enemy more than 5 meters away?
>Enemy that hasn't seen you yet?
>Item on the ground?
Door into open area?
>Walking under a ledge?
>You better fucking believe there is going to be an enemy or some other stupid shit
It's not hard, it's just fucking annoying. It's not "play cautiously in case something surprising happens" it's "play cautiously because something unsurprising is always going to happen"
>>334309651
Dodge through and past him. He raped my stamina bar if I pure tried to block so I rolled my way to victory in the second stage.
Backstabs are great damage boosts.
He'll often leave himself open for a backstab after a dash attack.

You cant have that much stamina there is no way. btw I'm 99 on my char.
>>334313110
Are you seriously this shocked that enemies will try and outsmart you?
The game is completely fair. If you die to this shit, it's your fault for not checking the alcove. One time, I got fucked by some enemies coming from behind, the next time through I noticed them clinging to a wall in plain sight that I just didn't notice.
>>334312656
I hated Abyssal Watcher because he's a human-sized super fast guy. I prefer my bosses bigger, and slower so that you're punished for greedy hits rather than punished for engaging at all 90% of the time. I eventually got him through lucky parries and backstabs, and I didn't enjoy it at all. Pontiff and Dancer were much better, Aldrich was pretty neat too. All of them encouraged you to be careful but still let you score plenty of hits in-between their attacks.
>>334313314
That looks like typical high level possibly boosted with ring endurance to me.
>>334313110
Every souls game has that, you just get used to it on subsequent playthroughs so you forget it was ever there in the first place
the depths had sludges that dropped from the ceiling, and sludges that waited for you to grab an item before springing on you.
the forest had the tree ambush point just before the butterfly, as well as the elite knight armour ambush. It happened countless times in dark souls, most importantly the fucking dragon on the bridge that you couldn't have known was about to happen unless you could somehow tell that the awful ground textures were meant to be burns and not spilt oil.
Dark souls 1 is an incredible game, one of my favourites, but you're accusing dark souls 3 of something that 1 is just as guilty of (if not more). At least in 1 you can tell if you're careful- you can see legs dangling from a ledge above you, a creature clinging to a higher wall, the glow of red eyes from the shadows.
If magic was taken out Souls series would be perfect
>>334313038
I lost my shit when it happened to me, I didn't care that I lost 20 minutes of progress. I love how they look like they're grinning at you.
>>334313523
there is no endurance ring either he is around 80 and put everything in vit/end and has no dmg or he is bullshitting.
>>334313501
Watcher gave you an attack window after every combo string.
>these health bars
So this is how you're supposed to play the game? Damn.
>>334313556
I know DS1 had it, but it wasn't for virtually every single item or group of enemies in the game.
DS1 I would die to that shit because it was infrequent and actually surprising when it happened. DS3 it's just non-stop.
>>334313747
What if he's using raw or infused weapons?
>>334313820
I haven't upgraded anything but strength the entire game, just hit level 40 at the skelly section.
Using the fallen knight armour for A E S T H E T I C S, I die quickly but slaughter everything with the butcher's knife and I know how to roll properly so it isn't an issue. I could do with some more stamina but I'm getting by fine.
>>334291571
8.5 inches is the average isn't it.
I'm only 8 inches and I think it's pretty small but girls say its okay.
Does it ever get bigger?
>>334314075
put some olive oil on it and leave for 10-12 hours
>>334291571
i kept crashing at bonfires so i just refunded it at the 1.8 hour mark. fuck it
>>334313820
I've put everything on END/STR/VIT and some DEX for weapon requirements.
At SL 72 at Boreal Valley, I'm basically a super-tank with my greatshield and hit like a truck, but my hp bar is 1/3 of the OP's.
>>334313814
Like fuck they did. They moved so fast, and I had to dodge so much, that even if I had the time to attack I either had no stamina or was on the other side of the room. You have a much smaller margin for error than you do with anyone else, particularly at that level and with that gear.
>>334314295
Using a lot of armour with low HP is badminmaxing.
>there are casuals complaining about the game who waste every level on increasing their health bar
>>334314075
>tfw grew up thinking 6.5 was smaller than average
>find out last year that its proper legit
>>334291571
It only apparently hard when you invade and get ganked by the pre-existing phantoms. Then come here and complain about how it's unfair.
>>334291571
With all the END/VIG I'm sure that shield sees a lot of use.
>>334292465
I finished the game at 92 and had 40 in strength and dex and 20 in health stats. His vitality has to be 30-40 because mine Is nowhere near that long
>>334314443
I don't mean to minmax. I don't even do PvP, got invaded once bya an immortal cheater and I'm never using an Ember again.
I just play Souls games like a normal RPG. Die to a boss? Grind more.
And I love to facetank everything with greatshields, no rolling, no parrying.
>>334314392
git gud, no meme intended
>>334308130
Lolno. Demon Ruins is literally a chalice dungeon filled with gangbangs.
The catacombs have plenty of gangbangs, not anor londo is gangbang land, etc. The game is fun because the level design is so good, but the encounter design is literally worse than the Lost Bastille half the time.

Long as you've got some size knowing how to use it is way more important than how long it is.
>>334309217
So does yours.
That helm is whack as shit and clips through everything in the game.
I've never seen the point in spending levels on your health bar, am I missing something? You spend maybe 10 levels to be able to take an extra hit from the average enemy, but spending levels means you deal less damage meaning you'll have to hit more, increasing your chances of being hit. Why don't people either just stack damage, or increase stamina so they can roll/hit more?
>>334314956
Broadsword where? That was my waifu in DS1.
>>334300249
I did it at like 39 ended up cheesing part of it with a bow though
>>334291571
>>334291571
It's nott hat SoulsBorne games are hard, it's just a battle of patience, especially against certain enemies/bosses
The average schmuck is as patient as a boiling tea kettle.
>>334315069
The more health you have, the more of a buffer you have when something goes wrong. It's a lot nicer to know that you can take 2 hits from a boss and still be alright.
>>334315069
Breathing room to make mistakes. Really helpful on first runs when you don't know shit and are exploring levels/enemies/traps for the first time.
I started as thief and only put points into luck and have gotten my bandit dagger to +2 and the big ass swamp crabs are raping me not even my invuln bullshit dagger dodge is saving my ass now fuck i regret my decision :(
>>334315279
Were you hoping your luck would turn you into han solo and start having plot armor or some shit?
>>334315279
Those crabs are bullshit and only take decent damage from Blunt attacks.
This thread convinced me idiocracy is a real thing.
I haven't played very far, but I really love the Abyss Watchers fight. Great music, great atmosphere and fairly challenging. Instantly became one of my favorite boss fights in the whole series. So far the game is pretty great, I just hope it has the insane replay value DS 1 had.
PS+ for online is bullshit though, fuck you Sony.
>>334315240
>>334315246
But if you're a new player, dealing less damage is surely more of a burden than a slightly lower health bar. There's no need at any point in the game for a health bar the size of OP's, if anything it encourages you to just tank through attacks and not learn how to efficiently survive. For new players one of the hardest things is finding openings for attacking safely, and having to do that more often will get you killed constantly, especially against certain enemies who catch you in combo chains after a single hit, draining half a healthbar or more.
im at the abyss watchers fight really don't like it, I finally started getting my pyromancer spells yet I feel so weak. Feel like if I just built melee the boss would be cake.
>>334315592
Hes a pretty big difficulty spike regardless
>>334291571
NG has always been the tutorial in all souls games
NG+ is the real deal
>>334315340
i just read the stat saying it increased bleed damage and i wanted to just stack bleed on everything but its not working like i had hoped
Does Estus restore based on % or a flat number?
>>334291571
Same here OP, I actually just beat Nameless King, 2nd try.
Even if the games stopped being hard after DeS (which was hard because first for me) I still love them so much, this one is on par with 1 (2 is still shit btw)
>>334315889
Flat number. You get items to increase the healing, including a ring.
>>334315891
I smashed through the entire game without too much trouble but for some goddamn reason I was stuck for fucking hours on Nameless King getting my shit pushed in
I think the only other times I was stuck that long on one fight in the entire series was Maneaters and O&S
>>334315069
It's a lot more important in PVP. I went from like 14 vigor to 25 vigor by restatting, and suddenly I'm not getting killed in two hits.
THIS GOD DAMN FROST COVERED ASSHOLE UNDER THE BELLTOWER
>Style all over bosses

Fug
The games are hard, for you first play through of the first series. We all raped ds1 and got good as fuck at the game. They're not gonna scale the games difficulty to the skill of the people who are autistic.
>>334316498
run past him
trust me anon
>>334291571
Have you played the series before? If so, you've already got a grasp of the mechanics. If not, they it's likely it's not as hard as the previous games. Also it matters if you are soloing the bosses or not.
What's the secret to Crystal Sage? Getting real tired of it, I die in just two hits. I've been using the rapier. I can't stay far away because her spells decimate me, but I can't dodge away from the sword in time if I get close.
>>334316498
I don't know how he's giving everyone so much trouble.
Standard Souls game procedure works, shield up and strafe around till he misses, whack him a couple of times, repeat.
>>334315069
I guarantee you in souls games people that skip out on health stat die much more often then people that do not.
>>334316498
now see this guy... was easy as hell for my max luck bandit dagger wielding ass. i guess its good that different enemies are weak to different things but.. it sucks when you fully invest into something that turns out being bad against most things.
Should I waste energy trying to kill the ice lizard at the beginning of the game? I picked barebones build dude and he seems easy enough but one hit and I'm fucked. Wondering if I will get a chance later.
>>334316931
>le lucky bandit thief build xDD

Are you impying shields are bad in DS3?
>>334317345
I think it's about dark souls 1 level, in some ways it beats it which I never thought I'd say but it still suffers from things like two unnecessary load screen to level up and instant teleporting which kills some of the tension. The controls/combat feel on point, hitboxes are near perfect and the rolling is fluid.
Levels are longer like DaS2 and some feel a little too linear, but areas like the church have a nice interconnectedness and pack many secrets off the beaten path which make exploration and backtracking through each area important. Bosses are a little too easy. I don't think you get enough weapons in the first hour or so to make repeat playthroughs as fun as dark souls 1 either, where you could grab almost any weapon within 10-15 minutes.
IMO DaS1>DaS3>DeS>BB>DaS2
Just got to High Lord Wollnir. I'm currently using either a +3 Claymore (can upgrade to +4) or the +2 Wolf sword. What's the highest weapon upgrade you guys had by this point?

>>334291571

>>334291571
All that juicy estus, heavy armor and HP bar almost as long as my dick
This is literally the mentality of a woman getting free drinks at a bar all night and claiming it's not that expensive to go out
I have 18 vigor at the abyss watchers. I don't even see a reason to level up more than that. I'm seeing people with double the size of life bar where I'm at.

>>334319021
Michael Jackson's smooth criminal works surprisingly well. The timing of the chorus notes after the "You've been hit by" time perfectly with the longsword combo, and the general tempo seemed to sync up with my rolling a lot. Anything with similar tempo works, but catchy stuff works better than metal imo. Find an 80s music playlist and give it a shot. Kenny Loggins is 100% DaS.
You can only say that if you solo every boss, if not fuck off. Either way though it doesn't matter, souls is fun and challenging but the best part is the world and lore.

but the series being hard was never the actual point, thats just the marketing used to draw in people who want to be hardcore but their mum wont let them
But I've found this with DS3 as well, I've never one shot as many bosses in my first play through as I have this game.
Deacons were so fucking fun with the butcher knife. You can just mow straight through waves upon waves of them with them barely fighting back, it was like the satisfaction of rolling through the church benches but even better.

>easier than +5 black knight halberd four hours in - Souls
Yea, you're a retard
>>334320124
I've found that with this game, the hardest enemies by far are the human-sized ones with combo attacks that fuck you up. Anything large is piss easy. The rolling is so good in this game that you can almost guarantee to dodge through and large attacks, and usually being big just means they're slower, giving you more chance to get hits in. Enemies like the mace knights in the church fuck me up because you can't roll through them, block them reliably since they do so much stamina drain and they tear through my health. Bosses are almost universally easy because of the above.

I wasn't a part of the conversation prior to my comment. I just saw some anon posting about how you can be OP in 4 hours, and pointed out that you shouldn't be wasting time rolling for a weapon like that. Just use something like the great scythe or butcher knife. Even without intentionally rushing through I usually end up in Anor Londo by around the 1:20-30 mark, but that's just because I've spammed the game so much since release.
I'm playing a Sorc now, thinking of rerolling. Dumped my stats into Vigor, Attunement and Intelligence and I'm just eating shit wherever I go.
Hell it just took me 10 times to kill the doge boss (was super easy once I figured out just to roll under him and cast shit on his ass).
Speaking of rolling, you do get iframes in the middle of your roll, right? That was the only way I dodged doge's charging attacks.

Holy shit, topkek. I was only trying to allude that this fag was trying to humble brag about how good he is at this game with that post (it even sounds the same to the OP). I was not expecting a whole discussion on dick to be spawned from it
hell I bet the guys who responded are fucking exaggerating too
>>334302336
I did, one of the few bosses I managed to one-shot (I even managed to fuck up some of the really easy ones like Wolnir and Crystal Sage at least once).

Yeah, but I do. So I posted mine.

The one with the dog things? Yea that's fucking low. Honestly the entirety of that area is a shitshow, since it's either the archers, the dogs or the 1000000 priests shooting fire out their asses.
I kinda miss the bell covenant
>>334323551
I tried so many times to parrySoul of Cinder'ssecond form because it was practically the same moveset from DaS. I just couldn't do it with my medium shield.
would appreciate if someone can upload a video showing parrying timings.

>I'm good at remembering numbers
that's the most autistic line i think i've ever heard on here. i hope you don't go around pretending you're a savant
Magic is shit in this game isn't
after fighting all the bosses in this game, I don't think magic will be viable at all, all the bosses are fast as fuck and you'll probably die before you can cast a single spell
come to think of it i never ran into a single magic user co-op or pvp
>>334323352
>Cleared the whole room
>Never found the Alva armor
>>334323965
I think the main issue is just that you get good magic (soul spear etc) way too late in the game. I'm sure if you respec into a finalized magic build all bosses are viable.
>>334305468
>not playing as Archibald the Great, Knight of Deliverance, with a trusty shield always ready
I've played every game in the series except BB and I never got any better after DeS. Either I can't tell which attack is being telegraphed or I dodge too early.
Also, I feel like the world and lore are way less interesting than in DaS and DeS. Can anyone confirm?
>>334315469
Abyss Watchers fight is fun alone. It's a total joke if you're not.
>>334325212
I don't like how you're basically forced to just fuck around when the red-eye knight isn't up. Sort of kills the pacing of the fight.
If they had those spawn more frequently it would be a perfect boss.
>>334324926
>lore are way less interesting
It's all callbacks because the franchise is over. I dont think, at least I didnt see anything interesting at all, beyond maybe some of the Lothric stuff. Because everything else is basically flat out explained.
>>334325613
its not too hard to fuck up the first guy before second spawns
>>334291571
so far the hardest part of the game is getting it to not fucking crash on startup
Would anyone have suggestions for what i should infuse in the ultra great sword for it to benefit the most of a STR build?
>>334325927
heavy gems increase str scaling
but alot of weapons cannot be infused
>>334325613
You can take the other one out without a red knight thanks to the fact that the boss has no poise what so ever.
>>334326407
>a lot of weapons cannot be infused
If it doesn't take normal titanite it cant be infused.
>>334326407
Thanks m80 the ultra greatsword is my favorite weapon of the series and they have added a hell of alot more gems this time around.
>>334326526
And only melee weapons.
, i just beat tree, plz tell me i didn't skip a boss cause I'm in swamp.
>>334326837
You're good man. If you meant you went from road of sacrifice to swamp, then you just missed crystal sage, but you have to go back to fight him anyhow eventually.
My longsword is pretty good for pve, but I get shat on by it seems like every other weapon in pvp.
Is it just a bad weapon for pvp or do i need to git gud

Damage for things don't really scale until you hit around 40 for said damaging stat.
upgrading weapons does way more for it's damage than putting a few points in strenght/dex/faith/intelligence

>>334322173
yep
All other magics except for buffs/debuffs scale like shit.
>>334303316
How can you even die at the Abyss Watcher? They are too busy killing each other than to attack you and his second form is a fucking joke.
>its another teenager lies in an attempt to be edgy post
Why do Soulfags get so butthurt if someone fails to see whats supposed to be so difficult about the series?
>>334313814
ehhhh not really. You had to be perfectly positioned to follow up, and if you fucked up the timing he'd just backstep out of range and resume his attacks.
I felt like the boss would've just been better if both phases were a single mob.
>>334302160
Yeah but her ass is dank as all fuck. Cant wait for a ornifex style smm porn with her. Im talking about dick souls btw
>>334310210
This. Even the jobbers in BB could take at least 2 more hits than the jobbers in 3. And the bosses need that BB health and 3 phases.
Speaking of hard, what do you guys do for the fucking Aldrich Faithful room with the two asshole croc wolves?
>>334313038
Because skeletons are funny. Seriously, with how grotesque and unpredictable some enemies are, it's the skeletons you have to worry about. They just take you by surprise with how fucked that situation is.

>>334292279
I'll agree with you on the part that game can be much easier if you are managing your stats and equipment effectively and it's certainly the right way to play it (as long as you don't overlevel which takes away the fun), but you shouldn't be so aggressive about it.
Some people just have different definition of what is hard. For example however played YS 3 would probably say that it's a damn hard game, but actually it's not... It's just unfair and has awful hit-reg and no matter how gud you git, you can get a game over screen just because devs couldn't be bothered by doing anything right (well, except for music).
Souls games on the other side are fair. You just have to learn the patterns and have them on your mind all the time in order to beat the bosses. Basically as long as you aren't trying to play them like God of War games by going on full Rambo against mobs and bosses, you should be fine most of the time.
Kids today find Soul games too hard simply because they aren't able to commit to beating the game. They can't be bothered to kite the bosses, use different weapons for a moveset that works better against certain type of enemy) and do some research on the items and skills they have at their disposal.
They are AAA titles that are actually challenging and it catches casual players off guard. Not insanely hard but still challenging... and if you aren't gonna use your brain... well you are in for a much harder journey than it should be.
This game is easy af. It's my first souls game too and I only ever died to the first few bosses because I couldn't summon anyone.
I didn't even die once for any other bosses and half the time I don't even try. You guys are all fucking shit at video games. I'm going back to play 1 and 2 to see if it's all casual garbage.
>>334334763

>>334335678

>>334336445

>>334292031
I'm not seeing the issue here, friend. Are you suggesting the proper way to play is to gimp yourself? If so, kill yourself.

How the fuck do I get through this bullshit?

so I take it that all these people are underage and never played something like the old Mega Man games or the likes.
What am I missing about Pontiff? His first phase was bullshit and then he made a clone of himself and now I don't have a single window to attack. Like I just fucking can't.
When the fuck do I attack this faggot?
>>334336691
Pyromancy was hugely useful in DS1 because all you needed was souls to upgrade it with
>Abyss Watchers
Hardest boss on my PC holy shit. The fire effect would destroy my framerate so hard. Just about every one of his attacks would make my entire game stutter.
>>334336345
Yeah if you tried to rush him at that point he'd just backstep you. If you were right next to him when the string ended, yeah, you could get a full stamina bar of attacks in, but that wasn't always feasible first phase for me anyway.
has anyone else had the game crash their GPU driver?
whenever the game crashes for me i'll check speccy and it won't even be able to recognize my GPU anymore until i reboot my computer. have never had this happen with a game before. my temps are stable and the game runs great, just when it crashes it literally crashes everything
>>334337587
I had that too

pretty shitty
>>334337552
first phase he'll kill himself anyways.
Second phase just dodge his charge than walk backwards till he made his stupid spin, afterwards just role when he jumps at you and you can hit him a couple of times for 1/4 of his health since the enemy HP is a fucking joke in this game.
>>334336947
>>it's literally just simple pattern recognition
Not so simple when you are going up against a human who is using armor with resistances and poise differences you may not know, a weapon with unclear poise/damage stats and different tactics, spells and items.
That being said iv now won 34 PvP matches in a row mashing R1 with my Halberd. Either people suck or Halberds are OP.
>>334338013
I was talking about the single player.
I couldn't care less about PvP in a single player RPG
>>334337919
I have a 760 as well
I did do one fix, I went into my nvidia control panel and changed the 3D settings so that vsync was always on and power management mode was on max rather than adaptive.
But then the game kept crashing anyway, so I undid it, and now the game doesnt crash.
You could try just turning all the graphics options down as well.
>>334338172
>I couldn't care less about PvP in a single player RPG
DD is a single player RPG
Dark souls is multiplayer. Im sorry you have no friends and social anxiety issues.
Is the wolf covenant busted or something? I have never been summoned for them and I've had the thing going since yesterday
>>334338409
Are you actually in the zone and see the icon up the top left flashing?
If its not flashing white its not even searching for others.
Game is great but the weapon selection was horrid.
I went through so many different weapons through my play through and still hadn't found one I really enjoyed using. Gotthard's twinblades were okay but the special attacks were a bit slower then desired.
I regret picking Cleric.
Its not that I dont want to use miracles, I don't mind miracles, it's those damn 6 points wasted in Luck.
And actually 7 points because I have to up it from 13 to 14. I cant have 13 Luck. Thats bad luck.
>>334338492
It flashes white everywhere I go, except for obvious situations like when I'm fighting a boss or getting invaded myself.
It's been flashing since I put it on yesterday, I've just never been summoned a single time

Im experiencing the exact same thing

>He like's damage sponges

I figure there's too many people playing, wanting to get summoned or invade, but not enough people going human.
I've been summoned once for the covenant of saving people(they finished before I even got there), but never for invading the forest.
What's the minimum requirement for the sorcery guy in the swamp to come to Firelink? I've been running a melee build and haven't put a single point into magic stats but I don't want to miss out on dialogue and I have a bunch of scrolls for him

I'm pretty bad at Souls games. The knights in Irithyll wrecked my shit so many times before I finally switched to a faster weapon, which helped immensely. I've had more problems with normal enemies than anything. I think I always relied heavily on how much they used to telegraph and the attacks weren't quite so relentless in 1 or 2.
>Beat Nameless King 1st try
Wow, what an easy gameJust kidding. Took me about 70-100 tries my first run on NG for JP version, 2 tries NG+, and this time it took 1 try. Just got gud for this boss, new players will get decimated by him.
>>334294298
Saw a guy take it out second try, but it took him about 10 for the pontiff.
What do I do to not make King of the storms a shitty boss fight?
Pirated the game and now bought it. Will the save work right away? I don't want to get banned.
Where do I get rusted coins?
LEL IT ONLY TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO BEAT THIS GAME AT SOUL LEVEL 1 AND I BEAT ALL THE BOSSES FIRST TRY GITTTTT GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD
>>334302559
What? What happens?
>>334342209
Loved Nameless King, but the first portion of the fight really sours it. Can't lock on without getting spun around and stabbed in the ass due to the shitty camera, can't lock off because you can't see any attacks coming if you do. Sometimes he'll just spam the attacks that leave absolutely no openings for five minutes and just waste your time. Nameless King is fun, but fuck the faggot dragon he rides on.
>>334341708
Boreal valley is probably the biggest difficulty jump in the game. The areas themselves from then on are all pretty tough, and the only easy bosses remaining are Yhorm and arguably Aldritch (though he can be tough if he chooses to abuse arrows and magic, rather than his never hits anything melee).
Wyvern is not a boss, he's dragon god 2.0, so he doesn't count.
beat the first two on my first try but stuck on the tree for 6 attempts now. he isn't even hard either it just takes forever and i get impatient
>>334299026
>not the nameless king
>not rotted greatwood
>not boreal Valley dancer
Who is it?
>>334343472
Micromanage the camera while never locking on. That's what I do for the first part.
It's a pain, and literally the worst camera for a souls boss ever, but doable.
>>334299026
Well it can't be Soul of Cinder, since he has tons of health, and his scimitar mode doesn't spend like any time telegraphing attacks. Gwyn doesn't spend a lot of time either, though there are tells.
Can't be Lothric twins, because enormous health pools that replenish until you kill jr.
Not Nameless King, since he has a lot of health and fast follow up attacks that are only telegraphed by being commonly after the previous attack

Souls is about the atmosphere, being pulled into a world that does not welcome you nor thinks you are worth shit. That, of course, includes you needing to be careful, and face the occasional challenge. But if you play for the difficulty for the sake of difficulty, you are the pewdiepie audience, and the reason the serie is getting meme status, is because of you. On top of the fact that there have always been better genres for that.
tl;dr you're bandwagoning on a product and complaining about things you yourself brought to life, good job there, modern gaymur

is it wrong i'm just helping niggas out at Yhorm the giant and getting 10k souls a try? not bad thoug
is there a ring that boosts souls acquisition?
So far, I beat Iudex first try, Vordt on 6th try, and trying to fight Dancer, who keeps pushing my shit in. Vordt probably shouldn't have been so bad, but the 2nd phase charge surprised me the first time and I kept fucking up my dodges from his really telegraphed moves. Speaking of dodges, when are the iframes in rolls? Dancer keeps hitting me around the middle of my roll animation, which leads me to think that either her attacks are very active or I am fucking up these rolls.

It is near-impossible to run out of blood vials though. There has never been a single moment where I've said "shit, I need to go farm some fucking blood vials."
Unless you're shit, I guess.

drop from wraith in high wall of lothric
>>334351940
That same guy who gave you the cracked orbs will give you a key to a lift in the high wall of Lothric area (where you found Greirat). Go there.
>>334351961
Or maybe you just spent too much time in the location where they drop because you kept dying to entry-level enemies?
>>334312905
Does anyone actually play for the lore?
>>334293385
Nothing exists that is hard, every single set of skills is nothing special.
When you look in retrospect everything is easy and basic it was just you that was resisting learning it (ego, insecurities, laziness etc).
I've only fought 4 bosses so far, and I liked bloodborne's bosses better desu.
The game looks very pretty at 1440p 60 fps though.

He's not at firelink anymore. Or he moved. He's the first guy I went back to see if he'd give me more
>>334291571
The black hatted midgets keep one shotting me. I'm starting to suspect I done goofed being lvl 33 and never putting points into hp.
>>334352046
Try again. Between not using them except during the odd boss fight, and every big enemy dropping 4+, I was literally bathing in blood.
Sounds to me like you're just a shitter.
>reach the izalith dungeon place thing
>taurus demon/capra demon bara fuckpiles everywhere
man those izalith witches are really into those lewd demon yaoi stuff huh
how many times can you draw out true strength from the pilgrim dude?
>>334352197
Are you past the Undead Settlement? I think you need a tongue and to beat the boss of that area, and he should pop up again.
>>334352310
>>334352310
who do you think wiped them out? there was one black knight there.
>>334352323
5 times.
Yeah, rip
I've died like 40 times already to the bladedancer, at least I know how to proceed now since I killed Emma.
But what the fuck,
>Shit loads of damage
>Shit loads of HP
>I only do 60 damage to it
>>334318887
>Pretty easy overall. Probably the 2nd easiest in the series, only Demon's was easier.
What about DS2? That was the easiest piece of shit in the series by far.

optional boss mang
What's the correct way to leveling Pyromancer?
the game is hard.
and it's a shame because it's not fun.
In Dark Souls 1, not a single enemy could 1 hit kill you.
You learned from every hit you took, you got better.
In Dark Souls 3, there are enemies that can take your full life bar with a single hit.
They actually ruined perfectly good bosses this way.
Take the dancer for example, great design cool moveset, music is good, everything is in place.
Then they give her a grab attack that automatically kills the player, what's worse is the hitbox is messed up so you can roll away and still get magnetically drawn to her hand.
I can't believe how much From missed the point.
Dark Souls was never hard, the draw was always exploring a new world with no hand holding.
In Dark Souls 3, not only have they made the gameplay try-hard shit but you're exploring THE SAME WORLD you've already explored.
I'm really disappointed, I thought Dark Souls 2 was bad enough.
>>334352347
No, those witch ladies that hug you are roasting me
why the fuck are all the enemies so deaf?
>>334352442
I'm guessing you haven't gone to the Undead Settlement?
>>334352561
You have to work for that orb, anon. Show them your D belongs to Rosaria.
>>334352524
no its not
Someone fucking explain to me how invading and hosting works. Is it like Dark Souls 1 where you have to be in between a certain amount of levels of each other? Or is this shit I'm hearing about your highest upgraded weapon actually real?
>>334352524
she's required but much later
>>334352359
I reckon they got wiped out by the poison puking goat guys from the swamp that are hanging around.
>>334352627
>You have to work for that orb, anon. Show them your D belongs to Rosaria.
once I get it I'm gonna haunt that damned village
>>334352576
>3 enemies sitting together
>kill one using spells
>2 others dont give a shit
A-TEAM
>there are ppl who literally unironically think they're good when they haven't even done an NG to NG+7, SL1, cursed, no healing, no shield, aggression mod, Calamity Ring, perma Gravelord, no armour, no spells, no RoFaP, no items, all bosses run or an ENDLESS PERMADEATH - NG to NG+6 without dying once, baby! in DS1
>>334352962
man they really outdid themselves
even the enemies are hollowed and they dont care if their friends die
vaati will like this lore i theorized!
>>334353150
>he needs lock on to do NG to NG+7, SL1, cursed, no healing, no shield, aggression mod, Calamity Ring, perma Gravelord, no armour, no spells, no RoFaP, no items, all bosses run or an ENDLESS PERMADEATH - NG to NG+6 without dying once in DS1 run

>doesn't say anything about weapon
What are you, some sort of casual who fights with anything but his bare fists?
Why are most boss fights so godamn fucking long unless you're a cuckaster ?
>Tree takes 5+ mins
>Abyss Watcher takes about 4min
>Spooky Skeleton takes 4min
>Undead Jedi takes 4min
>Crystal sage takes way longer than it should for his stupid gimmick (unless you go YOLO, which in most case is not worth)
It should be 1 to 2min like previous Souls. It's so annoying. They're not even hard or fun, just time consuming.
How do I get to the giant? Im fucking confused.
Can someone tell me why the graphics look so awful compared to Bloodbourne?
>>334352556
lol this nigga got 12 vigor
the only time i ever get one shotted in DS3 is if I stand in a fire move because there are no invulnerability frames after you get hit so you just die in 0.5 seconds if you don't roll out
>>334351961
regardless of whether you run out, they (and bullets) are shitty design through and through
the fact that you CAN run out is dumb. they should have learned from grass.
the fact that you carry 20 is dumb. 5 estus which heal for 50% would be a much better system
the fact that they take almost no time to use is dumb. yes, the game is faster, but its still way too easy to just chug endlessly.
bullets have the same problems. im ok with them being a consumable, but thats only relevant if they were going to expand on the idea and have lost of types of ammunition (with some being rarer than others). the main balancing factor should have been a reload time.

BB was being cooked for longer and being on a single console means they can use resources to further improve and optimize the graphics that would otherwise be used on making sure the xbone/pc versions are working properly.
>>334352442
Dancer is a late game boss. Killing the old lady is just a way to fight it early -- you don't need to kill it for ages (aka. until after you kill three Lords of Cinder).
>>334353303
>implying i didn't start the game with armor of thorns and roll everything to death including ng+7 4 kings with 1 hand on kb+m

out, get.

>watch the pilot episode
>the guy literally goes on 4chan except it's about robots instead of shitposting
I have never dropped a show faster.
>>334349863
Is there any reason not to fight her?
do you miss out on anything by triggering the boss fight?
