You still fucking high defense bonuses from the heavy armor + the vitality stat

If you run 124 stamina at 120 you have low stamina to begin with.

Almost everyone runs the generic 39/40/40/40 build which with RoF+2, you'll have 177 stamina, just like I do.

>>148296346
Base defense from vitality is also downscaled.

>running more than 20 END
Yare yare daze.

Base vitality defense is downscaled but the effectiveness of the armor and some of the vitality's defense is still there. The game doesn't prevent you from wearing full Smoughs at 99 VIT, but it won't downscale the armor and all of the vitality.

Negligibly.

Two handed ultra greatswords cannot be parried except running and rolling attacks, the AGS' rolling attack cannot be parried.

>>148296918
What the hell do you do, just make two hits see whether or not you hit your target, then run away for a couple seconds for your stamina to regenate?

Hyperdefensive duelists are cringeworthy. Get more stamina and be more aggressive

powerstancing would be great with the improved flow of combat, as would having access to the full moveset in the offhand, and 2handed parries

that's most of the fucking bosses in the game and none of them have any depth at all

just stop, the more you post the more you come across as a pathetic, joyless loser that no one wants to be around. You can oversimplify and trivialize ANYTHING with the amount of pessimism that's leaking out of your mouth.

and Das3 is not a cash grab, it's an attempt to un-fuck the fuck-ups of Das2, the biggest of which being it's existence. Not only that, but it serves as the final farewell for the series, after this there will never be another dark souls game again.

Dark Souls 2 was a cash grab.
To be honest, both two and three are Bamco's gold mines at it again, BB/DeS/DaS are much more hearty than 2 or 3.

There should've never been sequels.

Either way, 2 is shit, 3 falls back on the other two entries to help support itself, regardless of

let's make it clear then, my little cum guzzling faggot. referencing countries, equipment, and previous characters from the same universe in a sequel is not pandering. wouldn't it be a little strange if there was no mention of darth vader in the latest star wars?

the only things that served no purpose was andre and the morion blade.

DaS2 had references to DaS1.
DaS3 has a literal zone from DaS1 copy-pasted into it for MUH FEELS.

Which one of these is pandering?

it scales better off of Dex than Int, but a Magic Clutch ring will help it's damage. So, if you pump Dex to improve your casting speed, you'll get better damage out of it.

DaS3 LITERALLY does nothing with DaS1's story. It just has some pandering cameo appearances here and there.

*DISCLAIMER*
I am not defending DaS2, just spreading accurate information so people can explain what makes DaS2 bad correctly.
*DISCLAIMER*

The Pursuer's grab hitbox is fine. What's fucked is the player's roll hitbox lingering behind them at low ADP, and this applies to every single attack in the game since it's not the attack hitbox that's fucked.
This is visually exacerbated by a change to how grab animations work - in DaS1, the enemy shifted to match the player's position, in DaS2 it's the opposite; this has no functional difference but "looks" more bullshit.
Fucked DaS2 attack hitboxes include Fume Knight's thrust and the Mimic wake-up grab, the latter posted above.
For the most part, the actual attack hitboxes are as model-accurate as the other games, as can be seen by looking up videos of people using emotes or jumping attacks to dodge boss attacks.

What SL are you? I'm around 77 and if I'm lucky I'll get summoned once every 6 hours or so.

I was going to just sit back and enjoy the shitposting but I just had to reply to this one because I literally just went through the Cathedral of the Deep and I hope Miyazaki chokes on a Thrall's misshapen cock.

why did Anastasia imbue some random soldier with the dark sign in the opening cutscene of DS1?
Her souls says she may have commited a transgression so that's why she's locked up.
What does it all mean?

Demon's Souls wins that prize.

Gonna have to explain this one, it controls about the same as the others unless you have a weirdly specific definition of "control".

all of my dorkmoons are 100 now, but as soon as i joined the sentinels i'd get summoned about every 45 minutes

read again retard, both "endings" bring absolutely nothing to the story, you either sit on a throne to do tanimura knows what or you leave to do ... tanimura knows what
that guy managed to do even worse than miyazaki in his "endings"
now fuck off
>>
>>148306525
Yeah, me too, man. I had kept myself completely in the dark for DaS3 so for my entire playthrough I was really hoping to come across a gravelord covenant

Confirmed /v/. Another waste of time.

>DeS
>worst bosses
A lot of them are 'gimmicky' or 'basic' but they're not as bad as 2. DeS bosses are realized and do what they're supposed to do, and they do it well.

Is Phalanx a gimmick boss? Arguably so but it's not a shitty one.

Even if all the gimmick bosses from Dark Souls 2 were removed it wouldn't save the fact it has a shit ton that are almost all terrible.

-dark souls 3 dark sigil
What did they mean by this?
>>
>>148306695
what?
only thing blatantly pandering was andre and storm ruler
linearity is not bad- it's not as good as Das1. also, interior level design was top notch
there's 3 gimmick bosses


none of these are as offensive as Das2's problems
>>
>>148306776
Holy shit those nostalgia goggles of yours have thick lenses.
Yes, Phalanx is a shitty boss. Just because it's the first one doesn't mean it gets a free pass on being a boring mook swarm boss like several others in the series, the rest of whom are unanimously disliked or, at best, only tolerated due to music.

None of them do anything "well" either, unless you count Maneaters doing a good job at wasting time by flying off into the distance for no reason whatsoever. DeS has a reputation for having the most easily cheeseable bosses for a reason.

>>148306713
What do DaS3 endings bring to the story?

You sit down and burn. Oooo cycles futility, DaS2 already explored this plot angle and people gave it shit for it because futile cycles are a cheap plot device.
Then you have a generic dark ending which, at this point, adds about as much to the story as the former.
And then the Lord of Hollows ending which is essentially one nonsensical retcon where Hollows are no longer mindless zombies, but have some kind of culture and faction of their own.

Face it, Prowling Magus was shit and Deacons was actually enjoyable.

>Deacons was actually enjoyable

>>148306561 here, please explain how mashing R2 into a horde of basic enemies was enjoyable. I literally just got off that ride and I'm considering taking a break from the game over how shitty that entire area was.

>>148307202
cathedral was one of the best areas in the game

sorry anon, looks like you have terminal bad taste
