Bloodborne has some of shittiest designed enemies in series, and somehow From thought they were well designed and put them in Dark 3 as well, bringing the game down

Is there anything you'd call outright unfair in DS3 like the dragon bridge in DS1 or the shrine of amana in ds2?

>>334871676
Pontiff is hard? even if you don't use the buckler strats that guy doesn't compare to fucking shrimpadoo or twin sharks from Bloodborne which is considered by speedrunner to have the most inconsistent RNG move set among the FROM bosses. Even Oceiros is much harder than Pontiff.

You could probably use charged R2s on most enemies, it's just significantly more effective to spam R1 in any situation where you have the time to fully charge up

why do devs insist on adding shitty tomb raider like gameplay to games like this ?
if you played tomb raider on the ps1 you know what I'm talking about
I hate this more than anything else in games. Having to do precise jumps is just so fucking lame.
I played until that elevator where you meet onionbro, I go up there, make peace with the giant, go back and I hear him midway through the elevator ride. I go up again, go down, trying to see if there is anywhere I can jump, and of course I missed the fucking thing by an inch, dead.
I had a taste of the tree boss too, it could have been great but having to constantly roll around or move your camera up to see whats hes doing isnt fun.
I dont know maybe the magic is gone.
I got bored real quick and dont feel like trying weapons other than estoc and longsword.
I wanted the claymore and fired 99 arrows at the dragon but he didnt leave.
everything sucks

The item only brings your hollowing points to 0 and make you look human, if you die they stack up again.

you don't have to jump it... just zigzag through the corridors

you don't have to do that jump. You can just walk around it, to the left. The crystal lizard even waits patiently for you to get to him.

>>334873801
Oh no, now boss telegraphs his attacks for like a hopping two seconds, what ever shall I do?
>>
>>334872782
Ambush zones at almost every turn and that almost every single chest in the second half of the game is a mimic.

Also fighting those giant demon things in farron keep. Spinning attacks from large enemies are also bullshit because you can't reliably dodge every single hit (winged knights and dancer).

Can get one shotted as a phantom in any late game boss no matter your VIG.

Look at how retarded parrying is. You have to wait until they've pretty much hit you and then it retroactively stops the attack and parries it. Parrying is guess work in DS3.

>#IPlayDarkSouls because I'm a masochistic contrarian hipster. I like that Dark Souls is so different from other games. In Mario and Zelda, I can lose so many times and never care, but in Dark Souls I feel the pain of having wasted time training and retraining my muscle memory to dodge attacks just so I can stab a boss on the butt. It feels good to play like Solid Snake when I enter a new level, sneaking around each corner and holding up my guard all the time so the next trap might only bumb me and not throw me into orgasm. I enjoy feeling like a Speed Runner when I've memorized all the enemies' attack patterns and spawn points, running past everything at the speed of sound. I like the feeling of boasting to my coworkers that I'm a Hardcore Gamer with the achievements and receipts to prove it. I live the life of a true Chosen Undead, making it a point to bow emote before appoaching a heaving female. My life is dedicated to completing Challenge Runs such as 100% soul level 1. I will pass my experience to my children to produce the Perfect Race of gamers who will rule the rps metagame of politics.

Because the level of mastery required to not get hit is higher than what you are at during your first playthrough, and health is a usefull stat to learn patterns and movesets comfortably and experiment without having the suffer the loading screen from an unexpected one shot.

Like, why do I even need to spell something so obvious to you ? Do you have autism ?

Bloodborne is the hardest souls game without a doubt

You come across an area full of enemies

No using the bow to save your ass like in DS and you cant raise a shield to protect yourself either

In BB you HAVE to go in and fight, the combat is an absolute frenzy of madness

Also enemies hit the hardest in BB and the world has so many fucking cliff edges and falls
>>
>>334876351

Every ennemy in the game has attacks designed to hit you if you roll too early, and humanoid bosses have combos that require varying timings of rolling if you want to roll through it all.

definitely the hardest in 3. no other boss came close.

i died to pontiff like 9 times but died to every other boss 5 or less times.

>>334876653
100%-50%, when he pulls out his bow keep stafing him ill he stops rotating and shoots. Stay directly behind him and wail on 'em

After 50%/when he uses fire for the first time I personally just ran serpentine/zigzags away and then doubled back after a few seconds. Running around a pillar base worked for me too
>>
>>334876653
Whenever he goes underground run in the middle of the arena. Then run to him as soon as he pops out of the ground. Now he'll never use the arrows

Biggest "oh shit" in the game for me was Aldritch, I was not expecting that. It was very cool to gradually start recognizing everything he did. Did he have elements of Nito and the izalith witches ? His staff's blade looks like a gravelord sword, and with the fire it really looks like a furysword

>>334876730
How are they badly designed

At least they dont have infinite stamina like most enimies in ds3

>>334877348
There's no way he could eat Nito if you had to get his soul in DaS to progress but there's a lot of Nito on Aldritch like the sword, cloak and spookies on his body.

Only the first two hours of Bloodborne is hard.

After Bloodstarved Beast and Ameila, you get so many options and get the option of amazing gems that the game becomes trivial until you meet up with Marty (if you're bad at parrying) , and then again with Laurence (if you have the DLC) and then Gehrman (if you don't know how to parry)

Especially since no boss can really oneshot you outside of counter hits and Micolash, the rally system, no equip load, and the fact that within the first 5-15 minutes of the game, you can acquire some of the best PvE weapons, and the DLC weapons practically break PvE, Bloodborne ends up being the easiest SoulsBorne game outside of Pre=Patched DaS2 where you can just lightning spear/Hex everything in 2-3 casts.

After Amelia, the only boss I ended up dying more than ocne times was Gehrman and Laurence. I beat Shadows, Rom, Marty, Ludwig, Maria, Amygdala, Orphan, Micolash on my first try.

Use a goddamn shield, his attacks take away almost no stamina. When he summons his double is the best window to attack, you can get his double to very low health during this window and possibly even kill it if you have high damage. Get fucking good.

But strong souls in DaS are always empowered by one of the elements, be it fire, dark, lightning or arcane, and always seem consumed by it.

In DeS demons are just strong things.

Quick question
:Large Club or Great Club for a strength build
>>
I'm at Soul of Cinder. His five hit combo that he charges in the second half wrecks me. I can dodge the first hit, maybe the second, but I inevitably end up hit and from there you can't do anything. Help.
>>
>>334878248
One is using a ring to pass as the host.
>>
>Everybody says that his first form is the hard part, and that his second form is easy
>Have the exact opposite problem
His first form is a non-issue. Strafe right with a shield up, or just roll because most of his attacks will miss anyways. Bam. Done.

Second form feels like a dps check to see how fast you can burst down the clone. If you can't then you're fucked because they will both do the same attack every time, except the real one will do it half a second later, making even the slowest and most telegraphed move a nightmare to dodge.
>>
>>334878091
I got him. Parrying was incredibly helpful.
>>
>>334878153

Speedrunners don't speedrun any SoulsBorne game at NG+ for two very obvious reasons.

It's also the buffs+scailing+swords being broken as fuck and doing extremely high parrying damage.

>>
>>334878593
I think the footsteps echoing the way they did really helped.
>>
>>334878475
I felt the same.

My strategy for the second form was basically waiting till he does that move where he jumps up and lunges at you. I would just roll right towards him and get a few good shots on both him and his shadow. Required a lot of patience but once his shadow is dead, it's basically just waiting till he tries to summon again and then wail on him till he's dead.

It was a very unpleasant surprise. Fortunately I realized that Vordt is a standard Souls game dog boss, after which he became piss easy.
