how much playtime do you think the DLC has?

2? 5? 10?

>>254224841
everything is already known about the dlc thanks to a hacked pc version.

3 bosses of which 2 are reskins and one is just a trio of stronger phantoms.

>>254225037
Fucking shit. It all went downhill with PC port of DkS. Fucking petition race.

>3 bosses of which 2 are reskins and one is just a trio of stronger phantoms.
THE B-TEAM STRIKES AGAIN

>>254225037
Why, like fuck man, why are they doing this, season pass ok fine 3 DLCs alright, but then reskinned bosses and a trio boss of just normal fucking NPCs like goddamnit. I wasn't one of those guys who hated this game and what it did to the series I like this game but man this feels like a complete ripoff with no shame.

>>254224720
Oh lookie, they haven't learned anything from the complaints that everyone had and start the fight with a bitch slap that removes 1/3 of your health.

I know it's easy to avoid after the first time before you faggots start screaming at me, but it just goes to show how poorly this dev team understood the Souls games.

>>254223807
they add the item you need to access the dlc automatically to your inventory, so casual pcfats have no trouble finding it.

>>254225037
I played the DLC and this isn't fair.

Nashandra 2.0 is another queen representing a shard of Manus and play totally different. Has some AoE spells, shotgun spells and teleports around and melees you while summoning skeletons and a golden Vestaldt.

The dragon is very similar to Kalameet and the least original. Luckily Kalameet was a great fucking boss so I don't really have a problem with that.

The three phantoms have a fucking cool area before them, are pretty out of the way and are basically a test on how well you PvP.

>>254227661
They do pre-order DLC, season pass and gimped a lighting engine for console parity.

I liked their games but I'm CE my way into every DLC.

>>254224720
Do you have a webm of the so called Nashandra reskin?

>Dark Souls II promises not to be a launch pad for microtransactions - once you buy the game, you've got the whole package.

>>254223807
It's going to be shit just like the rest of DaS2.
I'll wait for Bloodborne.

>>254226130
On the upside, all of the DLC content was added in the latest update and you can just walk through the roadblock, so the DLC is practically free.

>>254224720
god damn, the lightning buff looks so fucking retarded. what was the b team thinking?

I hope this served as a lesson. First they tell you what you want to hear and once they got your pre-orders they switch. I dont know how can people be loyal to companies these days. They are all the same.

Time is strange in Drangleic. The devs might have not intended DLC at the start, but, as the Ancient Dragon puts it, "The murk stirs and shifts." You can never tell what's going to happen to Drangleic next. It's a strange and volatile world.

Funny. As soon as they raise in popularity and their games start selling million they go all western. Even praised Activision and EA for their business practices.

lolno. People who say that the DLC has been "hacked" just don't know what the fuck hacking even is. What you gotta do is go to the door that will lead to the DLC area, use the Praise the Sun! emote and you'll be able to walk past it. Dunno if it's fixed now, but that's how everyone did it.

We'll get increasingly inferior dark souls clones, which will saturate the market and cause you to hate the fucking genre.

Worst level designs and bosses in the series. Also too many bonfires for casual shit, soul memory, and just as a whole felt really uninspired.

Also ADP. What a fucking stupid idea.

>>254230671
B team/A team is debatable, but there literally has to be more than one team in order for them to have made Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne simultaneously, as it has been stated that they started work on that immediately after they finished Artorias of the Abyss.

Hitboxes are absurdly bad, enemies and bosses are mostly boring, ridiculous tracking on attacks, the bulk of the game's content being locked behind the 70~% mark, weapon scaling being complete shit on anything lower than an A rank, endurance being gimped to all hell and having the worst diminishing returns in the game, etc. I could go on, but that should be more than enough.

Oh no, I'm sorry, hating DaS2 alone obviously means that you hate the whole souls series.

>>254230986
Bed of Chaos is the most obvious.

Then there were three versions of the Asylum Demon.

Arguably the Centipede since most of the boss arena was essentially unusable.

Other than that I thought the bosses were fine, though.

Pretty much. You have to pay money to get an item that allows you to open a door that's inside the game since the last patch.

DS1 had so many flaws too. The only reason /v/ thinks it's better than DS2 is because "muh atmosphere and design" and because it's popular and miyazaki left.

the dlc thing happened with dark souls too
graphics downgrades happened on all three games
cut content everywhere
promises of features that have been canned just before release.

or how horrible demon souls run before the first patch?

I started a new build or actually the same build i always do.
But i haven't played in like 3 months and it feels like i can't roll through attacks for shit anymore and roll takes longer to actually start after an attack.

No, because they actually fixed scaling, albeit after several patches. As it stands now, there is no real reason to use anything other than an infused weapon coupled with a buff since scaling does not bridge the damage gap at all.

I actually really like Dark Souls 2. I never actively try to play PVP so I don't give a shit about balance and cheesy tactics, I just enjoy the SP content. I think it's a great game. That said, there are a shitload of things I don't like and it's a major fucking disappointment and by far the worst souls game.

>Everyone cheers because Kyle tells everyone that all of these places have a self-destruct sequence if they break a mirror in the back. Chef tells a soldier to spread the word to all the towns on how to destroy these places, in reference to a scene from the film Independence Day. Randy then announces that the Wall-Mart's "heart" was their desires the whole time. Oblivious to the fact that the boys consider this obvious, Randy explains pedantically how the residents of South Park had allowed their consumerism to work against them and nearly destroy their cherished small-town charm. Realizing their mistake — albeit only on the surface — the townspeople loyally return to shopping at Jim's Drugs, which is shown to gradually grow larger until it reaches a Wall-Mart wholesale fashion and is later being burned down itself. Watching it burn, the townspeople vow not to shop there again, and they immediately head to the local True Value (no doubt to repeat the same mistake).

From the little PvP I've played in DaS2, its been remarkably positive.

It's so different from seeing everyone and their mothers in DaS using the exact same builds and weapons, because more weapons are actually fucking viable compared to DaS.

I feel like a lot of the hate DaS2 gets is just people who've gotten used to the "dark souls experience" that was surprisingly foreign and exhilarating back when DeS and DaS came out.

As a game, I prefer it over the first. Its much easier to play with friends, its much easier to fuck around with builds thanks to a lot of weapons not being shit and having better trade-offs, and I like the multipath splits that leads to treasures and shit that they sort of brought back from DeS that DaS lacked by comparison.

>>254233338
>You get fuck-all for upgrade materials unless you go right for Earthen Peak

this is more of a person preference sort of thing, it makes you have to be more careful about choosing which weapons you dedicate yourself too. it gives you more than enough shards to beat the content.

>>254233338
That's funny, because I take pure physical weapons (sunsword, red rust scimitar, curved dragon greatsword) into PvP and do just fine on my sl150 guy.

You must be a shitter that needs to 2 shot everything.

i can not possibly be any less hyped for anything related to dark souls 2

I'm using non infused dual clubs for pve and non infused main and offhand estocs for pvp and i'm having no problems at all.
Pure physical is the most fun way to play and since rolling trough magic and arrows/bolts is the easiest thing ever most have to get up close which really seems to be a problem for most people.
They're beeing baitet into attacking way to easy.
But when you actually have a few good 1vs1 matches i could play forever.
Beeing beelbro but only doing 1vs1 is fun, i'll let others fight first or go away if some other bellbro joins in.
I even let the host heal as often as he wants

>>254231191
there is a huge difference between hating something because it is popular and hating something because of actual reasons

soul memory single handedly destroyed pvp in order to fix a very minor problem that wasnt even that big of an issue in the first place (twinking), they could have fixed it by making soul memory go away after NG but instead decided to keep it in which makes the meta even more fucked than at DaS1's worst points

I actually enjoyed the PVE over DaS1 even though it had glaring issues: hitboxes, nonsensical level design, hilariously simple boss fights that were often easier than the mobs you had to kill to get to them, gutted NPC stories and somehow even worse covenants than DaS1.

the pve is decent but people dont get 500 hours+ in a souls game by playing the story

>>254236212

Wow, they did something utterly useless and pointless. Bravo.

>>254236390
It's not a matter of laziness. It's a waste of time. It's something that's never viewable within the confines of the game. There might have not been so much cut content if they didn't waste time fucking around with something that only the development team would see.

>>254223807

I had enough of that bullshit with king Vendrick.

Are there no enemies in the first DLC?
I only see boss screenshots and webms.
Also everything looks like dark chasm.
I really didn't expect anything from the DLC and maybe the 2nd and 3rd one have better architecture.
The main game too.
Stuff like shrine of amana, draenlic stairs and dragon aerie looked great but the rest was just bland and boring.
The memories also could've been way better.
I don't want to shout, muh b-team, but i can't think of any other reason than this and that miyazaki wasn't really involved.
Does the whole team just go full make it hard mode and can't make a game as good as DeS and DaS1 just because of miyazaki?
He is a great man but the other can't be that useless

Daily reminder that poise works in PvP now and that stunlocking shitters are getting fucked left and right.

It's hilarious to see how many actual new players DaS2 got, when they can't handle hyper armor because they were so used to just mashing attack to get free stunlocks for like 80% of someone's health using their buffed sticks. And it's even more hilarious that they never announced it in the patch notes that they fixed it.

You have no idea how good it feels to shit all over these stunlock-loving cunts after taking their shit for like 5 months. It's impossible to get me mad about DLC stuff, this PvP is just too fun now. Try it out and chill.

More often than not the value all of the dlc ends up being half of the games new retail price. They know theyre releasing dlc and how much it will cost so they may as well say if you want to experience the full game gives us 89.99 or 59.99 for the standard edition.

Asylum Demon has no charge attack, the hammerswings are not even close to be the same attack except they use the same type of weapon.

Get fucked.

>>254238764
Yeah.

It's one thing for a boss to have a certain gimmick, like the demon of song, where you can't do any harm on 75% on its body or something and have to hit only certain areas.

It's another to just make you run and jump like a super mario bros asshole over spontaneous insta-death holes while avoiding virtually-insta-death bitchslaps, in a game that clearly isn't about running & jumping and platforming.

That was definitely the worst boss in DSI, everything else was actually fairly original.

Blue Sentinels should be able to help all people who are invaded except for people from Brotherhood of Blood. This should include Belfry invasions and people that are summoned as a grey spirit to a Rat Covenant member's world.

here come the idiots on /v/ who talk like they knew shit
the kick had no use whatso ever
the shove on the other hand is great to punish turtlers and to initiate
fuck, it made almost everyone drop the shield for the the most time after the game was released and you almost saw nobody using it cause they were to dumb to dodge or stop turtling, it took long until they finally smartened up to avoid it and the watchers shield only got used because of the parry
and its also great to start a combo, especially against people that try to stay to close and backstab you
of course you will fall on your nose if you only spam it constantly, but use it wisely and its a great addition to your regular moves

Sounds like somebody never chain kicked plebs off ledges.

>>254224420
But that's wrong. It's an entirely different (read: better) fight.

>>254242279
people that lose are not worth mentioning either

Does anybody know how many hours the DLC has. Also how much does the single DLC without the season pass cost.

Wow you're just digging yourself a deeper hole aren't you champ.
Also

No wonder, that game's made you retarded.

not enough

too much

You don't know what a gimmick is. Giving attributes to a boss is an attribute.

Also Pinwheel & the butterfly don't go down in two hits, they might not be the hardest bosses in the game, but they're not really proper end-level bosses either. Nito and Sif are the proper bosses of those areas.

I'm on ng+. Will I have to play the dlc on ng+?

Elana was already planned in the game in some form, her name exists in the NPC dialogue files, but had nothing attributed to her

>>254242527
I'm just saying he shouldn't be so proud about beating turtling idiots who fall for the shove.
I used shove maybe 10 times shortly after ps3 release after that anyone who isn't a complete idiot just walks backwards and i haven't even used a shield after my first few hours

which only works against someone who's afk
dont worry, I enjoyed that myself a few times
but in a real fight? useless

>no, you are retarded

great arguments champ, bet you are the star at all the parties

>>254243032
obviously

>>254243032
I just made a new melee build for the dlc to play on ng.
I got trough it in 5 hours with my usual equipment and all bosses+ tons of dlc.
It's redicioulus how short the game is even if you don't try to rush it

Elana may be Nashandra 2.0 but at least she's a lot more interesting gameplay wise

>>254241380
So Nito?

>>254243551
this

>>254223807
Nobody is talking about it because it's a broken mess of what it used to be.

>>254243551
how?

Rate my character.

>>254243818
Are those the fucking Majula piglets?

>>254243551
Eh, she's only challenging because she summons Velstadt.

Sometimes she summons a bunch of skeletons instead. If you leave one alive, she can't summon anything.

>>254243931
Yeah, on fire.

I actually really liked Das2 but I have no intention of getting any of the DLC.

>>254243902
boring

>>254243840
>More attacks than Nashandra
>Doesn't just stand in place like Nashandra letting you smash on her

Sure being better than Nashandra isn't hard but its something

>>254243193
thanks for 'shoving' words in my mouth
i barely hit anyone with a shield with my shove, as i said most people completely stopped using shields for a long time after release
the most hits have been against backstabfishers that constantly try to circle you, thanks to the tracking of the shove its easy to hit them, and against scimi/parrydagger/watchershield user who tried to parry, both the shove and jumping attacks (which thankfully were made much less punishable than in DaS2) were the cornserstones of my battles against anyone who tried to parry

Nashand-ELANA summons random creatures and even bosses like velstadt

you also get to fight the 3 stooges (aka not-havel and his fuckbuddies)

>>254244219
he looks like he fell into a bucket of paint

>>254244219
Vesltaldt isn't hard at all, but if she keep spamming those fire orbs will be a frustating fight, I don't want to someone anybody, I hope I'm not forced to.

Let's see yours, then, nigga
