Really late to the party here but I just beat DS1 for the first time today. What a game. Fucking pumped for DS3.
You can't see Gwynevere's eyes in the game.
post ds2 sliders
>>123512163
I've only seen one, maybe two sets of DaS2 sliders posted. You might be out of luck here.
So, after DaS3 they're finally going to move onto something new? These games are getting really stale.
Why is Durability so low in DaS2, my mace is in danger after 50~ hits and I'm basically going bonfire to bonfire because if I don't all my shit breaks
Doing a "Ranger" style run with a bow weapon. So far using Composite bow. Bow is useful for:
>Asylum demon
>Quelaag
>Capra demon
>Taurus Demon
>Moonlight Butterfly
Not useful for:
>Bell Gargoyles
They're too fast to get many shots in, and then there's two of them. Totally chaoic fight, and I've never been good with them. Only fight that gives me trouble.
Bows are under rated, and a headshot will typically stun a boss.
>>123512749
What version are you playing? PS4 and uncapped PC versions have fast durability drain. PS3 is fine. Also consider yourself lucky, the durability used to be a lot worse before the softs release.
bloodborne sucks
>>123512919
Ukranians don't even have defining characteristics
that's like saying she looks white.
>>123512878
I'm on PS4, but I played the base game on PS3 and never had this issue.
Also holy shit, Drangleic Castle is great. Thank god I don't have to fight Freja, that bitch scared the shit outta me. Fuck you forever, spiders. The Mirror Knight is such a hype boss.

>Name of covenant is "Chaos Servant"

>>123513531
It's chaos servant because she's a chaos demon
That doesn't mean anything though
She's only sick because she sucked the blight from the citizens of blighttown.
>>123513531
Quelaag was gathering Humanity to help restore The Fair Lady's life, you realize. And Ceaseless Discharge was just defending their sister's corpse.
None of the Chaos Witch family except the mother did anything wrong. They're like Sif.
>>123514098
>Brown hair and eyes
Do you realize how common that is?
>>123514056
>>123513709
What's up with the dudes with parasite eggs on them? Did they willingly sign up for that?
Quelaag attacks you on sight. Not very nice. And the act of harvesting humanity implies killing and stealing it.

Light skin, with slavic features and brown/brown combo? That's eastern Euros.
Other Euros have more diverse hair and eye colors.
Here we see a Kurdish girl. Brown/brown combo, but different skin tone and facial features.
>>123512749
they decided to make it count in this game but went overboard
you're supposed to visit a bonfire every 10 enemies or keep 2-3 upgraded weapons, it's retarded but it's like that
>>123514276
Yes, the willingly chose to bear her eggs after she cured them from the blight.
The guy next to her tells you she sucked the blight pus against her sister's orders
Quelaag is just protecting her home, she gives the humanity from the undead who tries to reach the bell of awakening to her dying sister as a bonus.
And also you could actually talk to the fair lady if you had picked the old witch ring in the character loading screen.
>>123514276
>What's up with the dudes with parasite eggs on them? Did they willingly sign up for that?
Harvesting Humanity, probably. And given one serves The Fair lady willingly, she probably eased their suffering too.
>Quelaag attacks you on sight. Not very nice. And the act of harvesting humanity implies killing and stealing it.
From immortal beings that wander into her domain. She's not ganking anybody, or killing anyone permanently.
>>123514560
>And also you could actually talk to the fair lady if you had picked the old witch ring in the character loading screen.
You can also trade the light hat for it too.
Speaking of, what's the fastest way to get 25 humanity to open up the path? I gave her 5 already.
>>123514670
Going hollow as an undead is a worse fate than death though. She's still not evil though.
>>123514762
Play through the game normally, you should have over 30 by the time you actually need to go there
Alternatively, famr the rats in the depths or the humanity phantoms from the dlc
What's the most active spot for dragon bros? I feel like actual PVP would be more interesting than farming drakes for an hour, unless it takes me an hour to get summoned.

All around fun time.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't just give myself 48 more Loyce Souls with CE instead of spending fucking days farming for them.
Seriously, what the fuck were they thinking with this? Sometimes I think I'm only a DaS2 defender because some of the absolutely HORRENDOUS game design can be bypassed with Cheat Engine.
>Fight Ceaseless discharge for the first time
>his attacks magically go through solid objects and giant rocks
Dumb.
>>123528256
all attacks do that though.
>>123528256
>your roll magically lets you pass through his attacks without taking damage
woah
it's almost like we're playing dark souls or something
>>123528317
>>123528389
It's a big fire attack. Solid objects should protect against that. How is fire going through rock?
>>123528502
>how is fire going through rock
i think you're underestimating the power of intense heat
also the "it's a video game, it works like that for gameplay purposes" applies
if his attacks didn't clip through walls you'd be able to effortlessly hide from him
So what am I supposed to do for this guy? died like 10 times and no strategy is really popping up.
>>123528743
>also the "it's a video game, it works like that for gameplay purposes" applies
I am using video game logic. By video game logic, I should be safe from such projectile attacks.
>if his attacks didn't clip through walls you'd be able to effortlessly hide from him
Then they should have changed the stage, or done something where the rocks are gradually heated up.
Hey boys, nice thread.
Should I buy DS2 + DLC for $25 on steam or should I just wait for Bloodborne/DS3 to come out on PC?
>>123527693
It was fun when the dlc came out. Usually what they do is they give an alternative a few months later since the game isn't active anymore. Shame they threw away the game so quick.
>>123529208
>By video game logic
stop immediately
there is no universal video game logic
each game is designed within rules that suit that game
>>123529238
>Bloodborne/DS3 to come out on PC
>>123529208
Wow, I can't believe nobody told you.
Trigger the boss to chase you and run back to the fog gate. See what happens to him
>>123529208
Here is a hint
Run away

>>123529238
Just wait, ds2 is total shit.
>>123529238
Refund it if you think it's bad.
I've been thinking about this for too long, who the fuck is on the cover of SotFS?
>>123530813
a forlorn, right? I thought it was aldia at first (hell, i thought the ancient dragon was aldia before scholar)
>>123531421
Oh they're only in SotFS, that's why I had no idea. Also, everyone thought he was Ancient Dragon. don't feel bad
>died again because I jumped when I wanted to roll

Whoever decided that jump should be dash + roll should be shot. I've died so many times from this.

Dupe fire keeper soul
I never truly had fun in dark souls until I started giving less of a shit and actually participated in jolly co-operation/invasions/online play in general.
Now I can't put this shit down, even farming iron golem for medals with random anons is fun.
can i still do old monk invasions even after i beat him in my own world?

What part(s) of DS/DS2 made you ragequit the game for an extended period of time?

>>123537826
barbed straight sword, das1
>>123538097
>barbed straight sword
The only possible way you want to hack it in is because it messes up your fashion. Just get the dark sword or something that will go with whatever you wanted with the barbed sword.
>>123538285
its not about practicality, its about a themed build which is fun.
it what you need after 3 years of playing.
>>123538407
We'll if that's it, you're going to have to figure this out on your own. Good luck

Capra Demon was kinda bullshit the first few times I fought him till I found out about the stairs.
Farley and Spade were really starting to piss me off. Ornstein always fucked up my rolls or randomly stabbed me from behind Smough. It was really just getting invaded everytime I tried to regain my humanity to summon Solaire. I never, ever, made it to the fog gate without being invaded by a Dickwraith.
In closing, fuck Arnor Londo.

Rude. Powerstanced with Flynn's, RoB and Stone Ring makes them quite deadly.
>Tanimura-san, so we made animations for mace weapons, there will be a second long delay before attack animation starts and actually deals damage, we thought it's important since the reach on the weapon is really poor, so you'll have to pretty much hug the enemy to actually hit it. Oh, and we decided to give it as a starting weapon to a class with no poise, armor or enough strength to wield the weapon effectively.
>Yeah, sounds good.
>>123544317
leveling up 1 weapon for pve isn't going to blow out your sm. the sm range is huge at higher levels. unless youre planning to twink.

I'm on my phone so I can't show you but assuming you have the specific DARKSOULS.ct Cheatengine there is a setting for it that works just fine.
>>123546404
That's what I'm using, I checked the boxes after putting in '3' and nothing changed.
>>123535646
Things that have made me ragequit in Sotfs:
Vengarls body
Shrine of amana
and the one i'm currently stuck at, the ivory king fight.
Fuck that having to kite for ages while they close the portals.
By the time the ivory king actually shows up i'm already down to like 2 estus flask charges
>>123546762
Get a loading screen and attack an enemy he should be stronger than before.
>>123546854
Doesn't loading into the game count as a loading screen? Btw, do I have to keep it on the whole playthrough?
Mods for SOTFS when?
FUCKING NEVER.
Is there any reason to use faith in DaS 2 during PVE or should I just go quality? On one hand attack spells are nerfed but I figured the boost to lightning/fire damage would make it worth using fire and lightning infused crossbows for ranged instead of spells
>>123547008
It would be most effective to be a spellsword. Infuse with lightning, buff with sunlight blade, etc. Pure spells are a no no.
>>123547003
Seriously it would be awesome if people made SotfS updates
>>123546953
M8 I think I know what you're doing wrong now.
You need to make the character and while playing him you need to alter the save to be NG+3
Can someone post the weapon tier list for DS2? Trying to think up weapons I haven't used before but can still get me through the game.
>>123546953
And no you can change the NG level if you want to make the game harder/easier.
If I remember correctly you should get the Estus Flasks BEFORE you change the NG+ because otherwise you don't get the Flasks.
>>123547274
I just want my texture replacers back, please god.
Have they hinted at what kind of damage formula they're going for in Dark Souls 3 ?
I grew to loathe the formulas of DaS1, and while the DaS2 ones aren't perfect I ended up finding it much preferable to its predecessor.
>>123545309
you bad or something ? mace is great
try not swinging like a retard maybe, people used to longswords usually have a hard time transitioning into actual skill based weapons
>>123547274
Right now I'm in blight town trying to change it. I'll see how it goes but I'm pretty sure I've already done that.
>>123547404
Yep, already got it.
>>123545279
Its kind of annoying that playing an assassin style character pretty much always takes 3 of your ring slots.
>>123547708

That's not how you say "luck", anon.
>>123547785
please explain what luck could possibly be involved into chosing when to swing your weapon
>>123547897
>what luck could possibly be involved when you're swinging a weapon at enemies with shitty hitboxes
Lost of it.
>>123547404
Works now, I'm being gravelorded already. Cheers.
>>123548080
The hitbox perfectly matches the animation and weapon model anon
Using shortsword + 8 now.
Doubt I should be using a starting weapon mid-game. I've rung the bells and have just been running around. What should I move to?
I'm low level dex build.
>>123548134
Sure it does. Enemy shield hitboxes are also 100% perfect.
>>123548187
Proof that they aren't ?
The only seemingly bad hitbox in the entire game is the character rolling because the animation doesnt properly convey where the character's hitbox actually is, and it's completely irrelevant to this conversation.
![1448621091014[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Ck7VEs5.jpg "1448621091014[1].jpg")
Thinking about a newer Band of the Hawk Guts inspired build. I'm not that happy with the ones out there. One made him a "Wanderer", which is wrong, he's clearly a knight (who wanders).
Band of the Hawk Guts:
>Knight
>claymore
>Bandit's Knife
>no shield
>standard helm
>elite knight gauntlets
>knight armor
>Hard Leather Boots
>Red Eye Ring
>Wolf Ring
Stats:
>high vit
>high str
>high end
>rest stats default
>no magic
Sadly, outside of mods you can't get the glorious Band of the Hawk style armor, with a metal breastplate + cape, with leather boots and gauntlets. Warrior set is the closet. So I just mix and match from the Knight set to see what looks closest.
>>123548407
Hollow soldiers during shield bash animation. If you hit them head on when they windup the shield bash, the damage will be blocked as if the shield is still up.
>>123548497
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Mz2MiXKGo
>>123548583
That's how it always worked anon, shield up is a status that gives damage reduction from attacks that come from a particular direction.
I could headshot a spear & shield undead in DaS1 too and not get full damage
I'm not sure why you think a shield bash shouldn't grant block frames.
>>123548135
Katanas (Iaito or Uchigatana) are cool and I can also recommend the Halberd, but you might feel overpowered with it because the R1 combo damage/speed is ridiculous.
>>123548631
What is that, Balder set? That can't help but looking really dorky.
>>123548748
>That's how it always worked anon
lolno
It's the same reused animation from DS1 or even DeS, but it works completely different in DS2 probably because they fucked up hitboxes when reworking it for 60FPS.
>>123548834
hitboxes has literally nothing to do with this, again it's just the attack now counts as being shielded
the way it works is exactly how shielded status has always worked
>>123548894
>hitbox should change to match animation and allow an opening for attack
>does that with broken timing
>hitboxes has literally nothing to do with this
>the way it works is exactly how shielded status has always worked
>works differently in DS1/DeS
>BUT IT HOW IT ALWAYS WORKED
You're a bit on a slow side, huh?
>>123547708
Yeah but even though it has good damage for pve sometimes it's annoying as hell. It's so slow and combined with terrible range you often cant get more than one hit in at any given opportunity because by the time the second hit is about to land your either vulnerable or your not close enough to the enemy's hit box. It's situational I guess but the range is definitely a trade off especially when you might be getting 2-3 hits on a boss instead of one using a different weapon.
>>123549017
>still has his shield up while he's charging the attack
I'm not sure why it's so hard to process for you that it behaves the same way any attack shielded attack does
>works differently in DS1/DeS
The attack itself does, the shield status itself doesnt.
And now, it still has nothing to do with hitbox placement, nor does it do anything to reinforce your point that any of this is "luck based" considering even if you don't like it, the behavior is consistent.
>>123549105
I'll agree on that, but the poise damage is amazing.
Regardless, it's mostly meant as a poise breaking, anti armor-can weapon (and for the occasional skellington), it's not really an all-purpose tool.
>>123549164
>I'm not sure why it's so hard to process for you that it behaves the same way any attack shielded attack does
>The attack itself does, the shield status itself doesnt.
You really are slow, aren't you?
>the behavior is consistent
Consistently shitty, yeah. You see, if the animations matched hitboxes properly, it wouldn't be an issue. But when the animation shows one thing and the hitboxes act differently, it's still just luck until you figure out all the nuance of fucked up hitboxes in the game.
>>123549373
Shielded status never matched hitbox and will never do because otherwise shields would be next to useless, you're a retard
>it's still just luck until you figure out all the nuance of fucked up hitboxes in the game
>plural when he only could mention one
cute
>>123549543
>Shielded status never matched hitbox
Just admit you haven't played DS and DeS, so I could just drop this point entirely. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
>you're a retard
Ah, the sweet irony.
>cute
Want me to mention Mr.Hugs? "DS2 hitboxes are okay" is the worst forced meme I've seen here.
anyone got a good rapier build for das2?
>>123551014
go int/dex and buff it with crystal and infuse it with magic desu
>>123551042
is magic buff better than faith?
>>123551392
I think so, but havent played both builds in a while.
Crystal magic weapon is still good
>>123549651
Nigger what. In DaS1 a dude holding up a buckler will always block an arrow aimed at his head or toe. How the fuck is that an accurate hitbox?
just bought dark souls 1, can i make my character really cute somehow? post some cute characters

12k souls well spent.
Never played DS before but think I should try it to see what the fuss is about
Is it actually as hard as people say it is?
Is it actually as addicting as people say it is?
pls respond
>>123554118
>Is it actually as hard as people say it is?
DS1 is fine, but the learning curve is steep. Once you get going, it's a blast. Avoid DS2 like a plague.
>Is it actually as addicting as people say it is?
It is.
>yfw fextralife continues to split the wiki community with their shitty wiki for Dark Souls 3
>>123554118
It's a hard game, not as much as it has the reputation for being, but the learning curve is really tough near the start.
Once it clicks, which is normally after you get past the second or third boss, you'll start seeing the game for the challenge it actually is.
As for addicting, the core gameplay in this is just sublime, there's no other words for it. I personally spent about a hundred and twenty hours through multiple playthroughs before I even touched the multiplayer, and at the moment I'm about 750 hours in.
Besides the stuff in the picture, best advice I can give you is to not look up anything and just enjoy the game for what it is.
If it feels like a boss is impossible to get through, summon someone and enjoy fending off invaders.
Also, read the item descriptions on everything to enjoy the worldbuilding and every now and then stop to look at the spectacularly designed environments and creature designs.
This game is a masterpiece.
Dark Souls 2 doesn't exist.
>>123554118
That game turns to shit halfway through and has the worst pvp in the series due to balancing issues that even affect pve. You're better off just watching a playthrough to admire the pretty good last gen graphics, but if you want good gameplay don't bother.

>>123548497
Try Balder Armour instead for the chest piece.
>>123554118
>>123554991
Also, despite what the picture shows, there's one big fucking mistake you can make in character creation that can potentially fuck your enjoyment of the game significantly:
Don't go with the thief starting class or get the Master Key gift; they're very useful for going through the game fast and skipping corners, but they will absolutely remove a lot of charm from your first playthrough.
>>123555206
I fucking hate people who advise choosing MK.
>>123554118
Be prepared for geometry constantly getting in your way anon. Play DeS to not deal with this shit.
![balder-set-f[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/5TIToUk.jpg "balder-set-f[1].jpg")
>>123555158
Looks too run down, too dingy with too much exposed skin. Originally, it would have looked a lot like Band of the Hawk armor, but it has since decayed. You can't get that armor exactly, so just go with one of the knight pieces.
>>123555641
>not just using a boner
>>123555616
>>123555206
Yeah, I don't recommend master key first run. You'll get lost. MK is more for people who have already beat the game and want to sequence break.
>>123555641
Is that with 60fps?

Do Demon Souls first. Best game. Then Dark. Then Bloodborne. DS2 is optional.
>>123555794
Not to mention you can just buy it from the sheepfucker.
>>123555925
yeah, but by the time you get that, you've rung the two bells and only a few doors will remain that you need it for. Not that useful.
>>123555984
But it carries into NG+, where it's most useful and also doesn't break anything.
Can someone explain to me how does the havel's tower work?
I mean it goes down to darkroot garden which has an open sky while above there's undead burg.
Also why is artorias grave so much bigger in normal game while the DLC is even smaller than normal ones?
>>123555641
Any time this happens, just face away from it and backstep.
>>123557137
>I mean it goes down to darkroot garden which has an open sky while above there's undead burg.
The Undead Burg is behind the tower when you look at it from Darkroot. When you come out of the tower to Darkroot you can see the bridge where Hellkite sits on your left.
>Also why is artorias grave so much bigger in normal game while the DLC is even smaller than normal ones?
It's not even the same location. The DLC gravestone is a makeshift one Ciaran made.
>>123532417
What if it's offhand estoc?

While all the things you listed are true it's still the best (and most boring) pve weapon in the game.
do you dupe souls/humanity or do you play organically? i always dupe now because i usually have a build in mind and want to cheese through to the pvp
>>123512163
A year ago, someone incidentally made a Simon Pegg character slider, it was great, he even made an Imgur slide for us.
>>123557794
I though basically royal wood is the past version of darkroot.
I mean those gardeners and stone guardians are pretty easy to imagine being turned into the darkroot version and artorias arena is basically sif's

Hello anon
I've recently bought Dark Souls on PC, as I've had the intention to play it for the longest and I never got around purchasing a PS3 / Xbox360
I have downloaded the game and installed DSFix. I am having problems with my controller however, as the game refuses to pick it up. This is what I have : http://www.thrustmaster.com/products/dual-trigger-3-1-rumble-force
How can I get it to work? Friends have suggested downloading SCP Driver Package and trying to jerry-rig it to work fine. I've also been told to stay the fuck away from Motioninjoy
Worst comes to worst I'll download DSMFix and play the game
>>123559972
>How can I get it to work? Friends have suggested downloading SCP Driver Package and trying to jerry-rig it to work fine. I've also been told to stay the fuck away from Motioninjoy
This is good advice. PC DaS uses XInput, which means that only Xbox compatible controllers work out of the box. So you'll need a special driver for other controllers like the PS3 controllers. SCP driver should work. Motioninjoy is Chinese malware and you should stay away from it.
Everyone said controller was better and im playing with a controller for the first time, but I like the pc controlls way more. How am I supposed to sprint and move and control the camera at the same time?
>>123561574
Hold B to sprint with your point finger
Controll camera with thumbs
get fucking good
What's this?
>>123561052
Thanks very much anon. The game picked up the controller, but it's fucked (camera is always spinning, very common issue when multiple devices are used)
Guess I'll go ahead and set up SCP. The game started off great, so I hope I get to play it
I picked a Knght as my starting class, I hope I didn't botch it

It matters way less than you think it does after 3 bosses.
Remember than a good 70% of the good items and cool stuff is found by exploration.
Try to get a sense of where you are going.
When you get kidnapped don't go into the graveyard but go to the top right instead.
Luring enemies one at a time is basically how you roll.
Rolling is also how you roll but shields help a lot too depending on what kind of hit the enemy is using.
Literally walking backwards after baiting an attack also works with minimal stamina consumption
RES is literally worthless
>>123554518
yeah I don't get why people use it. The information is less thorough and generally poorly laid out, especially when it comes to details like weapon stats. Plus sometimes it clogs your browser with it's stupid chat thing and random unrelated youtube videos you didn't ask it to play.
>>123562583
Souls, not soul.
I bought SotFS on sale a few weeks ago. I had played like 5 hours of DaS2 and just couldn't get into it. I'm really enjoying SotFS though.
I don't really get it. What changed between them? I've noticed some different enemy placement but everything else seems about the same. It just feels not as shitty for some reason.
Also I recall my weapons breaking all the goddamn time in DaS2, but now they only threaten to break if you're banging them against a wall constantly.
Is there a recommended level be at before you do any of the DLC content?
>>123563243
Oh, I thought you meant you popped the item. I've totally seen people do that on their first play through of a Souls game.
Can't you just go back to change your character back to a grill?
>>123561574
index finger or right joystick
>i like the pc controls more
what the fuck
>>123563447
I did, I'm just saying the whole thing was random as fuck and unrewarding for something that ate a 12k souls item.
Well, there's also that smoky guy, but no way I can beat him without a decent weapon.
So I beat the last giant in DS2 where the fuck do I go now
Am I right in assuming that I should use that branch thingy from the merchant and go to where that dwarf is?
Also holy fuck why did I spend 15 soul levels on strength right off the bat? Rip character
>>123563727
meant to say
index finger on right joystick and thumb on circle or B depending on what you use
>>123563847
OH
or should I use the branch on the petrified guy in the tutorial area?
Shit
>>123563943
no DONT
DONT DO IT
ill tell you where to go if you dont
>>123562135
What >>123562215 said
>>123564048
Alright senpai. Do I use it on the petrified guy by the dwarf then? Or neither?
I really don't feel like going to the tower of flame just yet. Fuck those big ass mace wielding niggas.
Rate my build that make PS4 owners everywhere cry to sleep
https://www.mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/471581
>>123564175
You should make sure you've explored all of the area from the Last Giant bonfire. There's a lot of good items that make it worthwhile. Also the Pursuer boss fight, which is doable as long as you bring some summons.
After that the best place to go is the Tower of Flame. The big guys aren't that tough once you've leveled up your weapon a few times.
>>123564450
Shit, made a typo on the title
*Hunter
>>123564532
>pursuer doable with summons
what are you a fucking faggot? people new to the game should play without summons and overcome the challenge.
>>123564532
Alright thanks.
Fuck summons tho.
I found that fire greatsword but it's damage looks like shit compared to the broadsword I started with, although I don't have the stats to properly equip it yet.
>>123562135
They're going to make BB2.
>>123562135
>>123564843
No, it means Bloodborne is coming to two more platforms, being the XB1 and PC.
>>123564981
>no reason to buy a PS4 anymore
noice
Finished Dark Souls 2.
Is there any valid reason to play the first one? Other than "muh nostalgia goggles"?
>>123564637
I like playing with summons. It's fun to do bosses together. The difficulty isn't really a thing in most early bosses, IMO.
Plus summons make multi-enemy bosses bareable.
>>123562750
holy shit. I must've messed up something with SCP, I got a BSoD for the first time ever on my rig after starting up Dark Souls with my controller connected
At least I know what a BSoD looks like on W8.1 now
>>123565565
Definitely. Dark Souls is a better game.
>muh nostalgia goggles
people are still playing the game
>>123565602
The only people you should maybe summon are side characters that advance their plots, like Creighton, Pate, Lucatiel and Benhart.
I would never recommend any other summoning to someone who goes in blind. Do what you want on NG+ though
>>123565602
I personally really like summons. The coop part of the Souls game is always really fun.
>>123565565
It's not like a CoD game where the difference between the new and old ones are just the number of weapons. Of course there's a valid reason, you should play it because "it's a good game".
How active is DS1 on PS3, and what levels?
Last time I played was SL120 a few months ago, and it was dead as shit even in the forest and township.
>>123565885
>there's a valid reason

B-but DS2 being bad is just a meme, guys!

They just are
>>123566018
Why do people keep repeating this meme?
Where is the Benhart of Jugo summon for the Elana boss fight? It's not where it should be. This is on NG+.
>>123566157
So it's just your opinion.
Why am I not surprised that DaSfags can only stutter "b-b-b-b-but it's better" instead of giving a legit, valid reason?
>>123566186
Because it's the truth.
>>123566265
No, it's not true at all. They're both good games, DaS is just better. Now go away meme kid.
>>123566038
Dark Souls 1 put quality over quantity
But with Dark Souls 2, B team took a shit on a disk and called it a sequel
>>123565565
Play DeS or BB. DaS1 is garbo.
>>123565791
>>123565764
Summoning people is fun, working together is fun. Plus seeing different builds is a great time. I enjoy helping out others and so I'll always try to put down a soapstone sign after I beat an area. It makes it feel more like a community game rather than a solo, grindy, muh difficulty game. But you are absolutely allowed to enjoy the game however you'd like, since it doesn't impact how I play through my games.
>people still die here in huge numbers
>>123566318
No, DaS2 is a shitty game.
>>123566229
CREATIVE BOSS FIGHT, NOT JUST GUYS IN ARMOUR
CHALLENGING BOSS FIGHTS
INTERESTING, NON-LINEAR LEVEL DESIGN THAT LOOPS BACK IN ON ITSELF
DARK SOULS 2 RIPS OF SO MANY BOSS FIGHTS FROM DARK SOULS 1
DARK SOULS 1 WEAPONS DON'T BREAK AFTER 5 SECONDS
IN DARK SOULS 1 YOU CAN LEVEL AT ANY BONFIRE, NOT HAVE TO GO BACK TO MAJULA EVERY TIME
DARK SOULS 1 IS HARD
DARK SOULS 2 IS EASY AS FUCK
There's a few reasons for you
>>123566470
Literal meme complaints
Go to bed kiddo
>>123566318
not him, but i spent 600 hours in dark souls 2
i have the right to say it's a shit game compared to DaS1
>>123566452
I think the game has fake bloodstains.
>>123566434
It's especially fun in Souls game because they are not really meant to allow cooperation.
If you compare, I dunno, Dark Souls to Borderlands, Dark Souls is a fuckload more enjoyable. Borderlands just constantly slaps your head while yelling to bring friends.
>>123566470
>all opinions and exagerations
In Ds2, what's a place to drop a summon sign down with 150k~ SM
Not sure if i'm not being summoned because too high/low or simply ded gem
>>123566525
>I spent 600 hours playing the same game but it sucks
Not very original anon
>>123565991
>I won't bother giving it
I did give it.
"It's a good game."
What kind of reason do you need besides that? Are other games offering you cash prizes?
>>123566229
I'm retarded. You were asking how it's a better game.
The main thing that makes DaS1 a better game is it's world design. Everything else(besides graphics and lore) is subjective. You would be doing yourself a disservice to not get it since it's always on sale.
>>123566470
you forgot
>better movesets and animations
>dark souls 2 literally and unironicly has a stat that increases i-frames
>better level/world design
>better audio and music
>weapons and metal don't look like plastic in dark souls 1

i am not going to say dark souls 2 is a bad game but holy fuck
people actually believe that DaS2 is better than DaS1?
>>123566229
>baiting this hard
>>123559693
use a faster weapon
>>123559701
Yes I want a game with a high-skill ceiling thanks
>>123566798
Oh yeah, and the NPCs are FAR more interesting in DaS1. DaS2 really dropped the ball with it's NPCs.
>>123566798
I have seen that reason given multiple time, and I was hoping you could convince me that the gameplay is better or something.
Oh, well, at least I'll go sightseeing a bit. I hope there are some HD mods out there.
>>123566858
>people actually believe that DaS2 is better than DaS1?
They need to justify the fact that they bought the same game twice + dlcs somehow.
>>123566858

anything can be deeper than "rely on i-frames" the game
>>123567086
I played both. While I like DaS for the feeling of walking a kingdom who's already dead, I prefer DaS2 for the better gameplay and for the fact that it allows more builds and still has some freaky stuff.

DS2 is just a prime example of more = better. And everyone knows it doesn't work that way.
>>123566858
>better movesets and animations
Funny because there is no point in swinging in DaS1. DaS2 is the better game, because it has actual gameplay.
>>123567389
i have no idea what you mean by that sentence
The only reason to play Dark Souls is Gwyn's theme.
>>123567595
Not even the best theme in the game.
>>123567675
I want to play Dark Souls with all musics made by that guy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nouRoNlnFWM
>>123567016
The gameplay isn't necessarily worse.
You don't have as much weapon selection, but the movesets are more diverse. You don't have powerstancing, but most of the time powerstancing is less efficient than 2handing anyway. You don't have to worry about AGL. You don't have lifegems, but you have Humanity. Stamina usage isn't nearly as intensive and regens faster (this is the main thing people refer to when they say DaS2 feels slower).
Of course, there are things that are just "different" that will be up to personal taste, like how healing is applied between DaS and DaS2 Estus.
>>123567798
I mean the infusions. EpicNameBro explained that infusing weapons is useless in Dark Souls except in some specific circumstances, due to the way defense works.
R8 my Gobbler build I did recently. Didn't need to be low level, I just increased vit and end as I went. I wanted to coop the build but it didn't happen.
Forgot to add in the link, dark hand is a very big deal for this build.
http://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls/471585
>>123511941
Where can I find the latest DSfix for Dark Souls?
>>123567920
It's far from useless, but elemental weapons do less damage than pure physical with full damage stats, as they should.
You're supposed to use magic/divine weapons in int and faith builds and fire/lightning in hp gouge/low level builds.
>>123567546
look at all those movesets;^)
>>123567920
In DaS the regular upgrade path is the best if you have points in the stats the weapon scales with just like it should be. In DaS2 even if you have 40/40 in str/dex you still deal more damage with elemental weapons which makes physical builds useless.
