There's footage of an NPC performing a single 1HR1 with a great hammer that requires 50 strength and 30 faith. It's a perfect, 1:1 carbon copy of the DaS1 greathammer moveset and is every bit as slow and awful.

Strength is fucked.

How deep will this go before an OP actually notices?

Why are there so many bosses in dark souls 2 and why are they all disappointing?

Most of them are piss easy at best and cheap at worst, not taking in account the fact that most of them don't even have a reason to be there in the first place or are a poor thematic choice.

Why are the Skeleton Lords on the Huntsman's Copse? There are only two necromancers in a very minor part of the whole area, they could've done something along the lines of "Mad King of Rogues" to take in account for the gazillion poison rogues in the area. Hell, they didn't even need another boss since they could've just moved things around and set the Chariot as a boss (it's still a piss-easy boss, but it's more exciting and thematically interesting than literally skellingtons that spawn more skellingtons).

Skeletons, Covetous Demon, Old Dragonslayer, Royal Rat Vanguard, RR Authority, Dragonrider and Dragonrider x2 have literally no reason to exist other than to be roadblocks.

Hell, one of the most exciting bosses are the belfry gargoyles and they're hidden and optional.

Regardless of their reason to be there, if they're not piss easy they're one of the following:
-Several
-Surrounded by lesser units
-Encountered in an arena that purposefully gimps you
-Piss easy still, but have a shitton of HP and damage

I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's like they slapped the worst tropes of 90s JRPGs on generic designs and they just put them in the game.

No. Presumably you buy it from an npc, I'm not sure if Vaati showed whether he dropped his ashes or not but I guarantee that you'll have to buy his armor.

I liked Covetous Demon, there I said it.

He's only bad because he's so slow and easy but if you actually look at his fight you can tell that he had quite a bit of effort put into him.

Conclusion: NPCs should either cheat or have unobtainable stats/damage (aka Crowsteel of Cainhurst).

In das1 almost all the red phantom invaders and NPCs were fairly easy to beat because they all obeyed the same game laws that the player did and exploitable AI.

We need more cheating Maldrons, cheating Selens and Crowsteel.

We'd probably be able to 4k at 30fps. I would just expect drops whenever heavy particle shit happens.

Or, it could just simply be because there's no proper patches for the gpu's yet, which would obviously make sense.

Still, I wouldn't expect the perf increase to be anything more than 10% at the most with the latest drivers on release day.

How do you make a good magic build in demons souls? i'v never really made a proper build in the game and i wanted to try pvp
>>
How do you guys go about determining what weapon you use? Is it just trial and error until something sticks? I was considering for my first playthrough of DS3 to be meeting the Str/Dex requirements of pretty much every weapon I come across so I can dabble in a bit of everything, and then deciding what to use in subsequent playthroughs from there.

To give you an idea of how boring I am, I tend to default to the Longsword in every single Souls game. So I'd like to change it up a bit, and possibly use an axe of some sort.

I was considering a quality build for my first run, but I think I'll just stick to a side and give myself more reason to replay it on the other side.

Probably go full dex merc, then try cleric out and see if Faith has come back from being utter shit, then try Thief if Luck builds are viable, and probably make Str coop builds to play with friends.
>>
>>135694712

Because a game like Witcher 3 is more shader and texture heavy than it is geometry heavy.

Bloodborne and by extension Dark Souls 3 however, going by my experience with Bloodborne at least, are very geometry heavy compared but not as good texture and shader wise. Shit that shader cores can't help offset the load of.

Most cards are great and balanced in all areas from shaders to geometry to textures and give great performance under normal game stress with normal games that balance everything.

Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne however, are very bullheaded in approach to detail.

Instead of being more fancy with material blending, parralax and fancy shader effects, they achieve detail just straight up by throwing more geometry at everything. Pic related. Every single shitting stone is geometry. In another game, that'd be a cheap shader effect with minimal hit to the gpu, look roughly as good and be fine.
>>
>>135694642
Moveset is most the most important thing to me. I value how versatile the weapon is, then how much damage and then how vulnerable I am after an attack.

I usually run a quality build first and test out new weapons extensively on enemies in an area I'm comfortable with.

My second playthrough will probably be faith/strength focused unless miracles suck again

If that's true, that explains why the souls games are so amazing to downsample.

If that's the case 4k dark souls 3 might not have as big a drop in framerate compared to 1080p as other games. It'll just use more of the gpu that wasn't being used anyway.

So basically quality to try out the different weapons, and then make a build specifically for your favourite weapon(s). That's kind of what I was going for.

The Longsword has always been my favourite weapon no matter how bland it is, I usually end up with that weapon no matter the build unless I have a specific weapon in mind. Like for example I have a sorcery playthrough at the moment that I started out with the mace, went to greatsword, and am back to longsword. It's kind of frustrating how I almost never experiment with weapons because of how reliable and comfy the longsword is.

Well, everything is viable in DaS2. But not everything is good. You can buff ricard's with bleeding serum and on r2 r2 it would always bleed people and mobs and bosses. You can try bound axe or bandit knife with bleeding serum buff or infusions. You can try chariot lance.

Well in 2, the way flame weapon works is it adds 50 fire damage to a weapon (or some such), then multiplies ALL the fire damage on the weapon by an amount. So you want a weapon with natural fire damage, infused with fire, then buffed with fire. Uninfused isn't worth it in 2 if you're not a str or dex build - you want raw or maybe enchanted if you're Int.

>tfw caved and bought a bloodborne box

>tfw it's my favorite of the series by such a horrifyingly large margin, and makes pretty much every boss fight in earlier games look so slow and predictable that i'm legitimately scared that i've preemptively lessened my enjoyment of DaS3

this is honestly concerning; is anyone else in the same boat? those of you who've been spoiled, does DaS3 seem faster?

should i get it on ps4 or pc? the prospect of fewer cheaters is very appealing

That's very old data.
How they actually work:
1. Buffs don't add any amount of flat damage.
2. They multiply all base damage of the weapon. Including damage of different elements and physical damage.
3. They don't multiply scaling at all.
So he wants a weapon with huge base damage, like bluemoon greatsword or black dragon sword or melu scimitar or whatever, then he needs to infuse it with lightning (since it's the least resisted element in PvE) and then buff it with flame weapon.

Also sometimes I'd use a bow.

I really like BB as well and a BBstation 4. It's equally tied with Das1 for me, but I got my replayability out of 1 because I'm sick to death of Chalice Dungeons after the same 15th run of them to get the top tier gems.

Das3 looks like its shaping up to be BB 2.0 Tbh.

Wait what? I was going to use the longsword since it's light and one of my favourite weapons. Is that really how it works? I was planning to use it in PvP too, not just PvE. I'm not as much a fan of lightning/Faith and wanted to try pyromancy, since I'd never really used anything but pure str and/or dex.

>>135698301
See >>135698120
Longsword is good because of its moveset, not damage. It's top tier in PvP and, because of spammable piercing 2hr2, very good in PvE.
But if you want huge damage you should use something else.
>>
>>135698186
No problem, some notes are:

The int and faith are mainly to reach the elemental resistance soft caps. The pyro scaling is just a small bonus.

The kings crown helps with the previous note, but also prevents you from hollowing after you do a certain sidequest. Not hollowing is pretty useful for PVPing in general.

I meant to put great combustion and warmth, not two great combustions.

The rest is pretty self explanatory. Scaling bleed as high as possible.

Have fun.
>>
>>135698434

Isn't the huge damage what pyromancy is for? The longsword would be what I'd use to get through a level, and to poke enemies/whatever.

Though now that I'm asking, what build would be best if I wanted to use a purer form of damage, IE: quality? I remember trying quality out when the game first came out and found out it was awful, and it was better to go base stats and 30/30 Str/Fai and infuse with dark for anyone who wanted to be a "pure" melee. Is that still the case, or was that fixed?

Many mobs have good elemental resistances. Dex and str are stronger than elemental. Definitely stronger if you would use item buffs. Quality though is pretty shit.

I don't understand why people think that Bloodborne requires more intelligent gameplay and quicker thinking than the other FROM games. Having played through each of the souls games and Bloodborne multiple times, it doesn't make much sense to me. Despite Bloodborne having more intricate weapon designs/movesets, it doesn't feel that way while playing the game. The bosses felt very predictable, and were much slower than expected. Most of them could be staggered very easily, as well as most being beaten with ease by simply walking behind them and spamming attacks. Decision making isn't as important during fights, considering how quickly blood vials activate and how many you can hold at once. Not only that, but having so little stamina consumed by practically everything you do ends up making it feel more mindless and spammy than any of the souls games. I really enjoyed most of the humanoid fights, especially Gascoigne, and including the hunter mini-bosses, but the rest of the game felt like a big disappointment. Am I missing something? A huge part of the gameplay? Because I fail to see where the notion that Bloodborne's combat being more difficult/engaging/fun than the other games comes from.

I don't know how someone could think that either. The whole game can easily be beaten by spamming R1 and dodging occasionally if you use the saw cleaver (the weapon that appeared in all of the promotional material).

Bloodborne requires you to pay attention to the timing of every enemy attack.
Every enemy and every boss is designed to fuck you if you mistime a dodge.
You also have to get in and be quick if you want to rally health.

You have no shield deflection L1+R1 turtling to carry you through the entire game like Souls.
You have no poise and can only rely on super armor.
You can't just backstab cheese everything and parrying drains a resource unless you equip runes for it.
You must react quickly but also not panic dash.
