Hey, last night we had a good thread, let's keep it up.

DLC: Overall brume tower, favorite boss probably ivory king followed by sir alonne.

Series: playing demons for the first time as my first souls game

I'm yet to start the DLCs for DS2. Are they really worth it?

I find it kinda funny how I had more fun playing DS2 than DS1. I think it's because losing in a fight makes me less mad than the environment killing me.

>>322854685
The DLC levels are the only good ones in the game so yes they're worth it

>>322854685
I didnt like Sunken King at all, but Iron King was OK apart from some boss-runs. Blue Smelter and Alonne were harder because of the shit you had to deal with in the way to them than by themselves.

But Ivory is fantastic, I fully recommend it.

So I bought SotFS during the winter sale.

Why does this game hate me so much? I had to start over so I could properly farm the giant armors before the white ranger shitters started pushing me asshole in.

Where are you invading and with what build(s)?

Today it was Anor Londo. Composite bow hypermode with red tearstone ring and leo ring. 850 damage on a counter headshot.

I can't wait until they give this armor set the "Manikin treatment" and give no reason even in post-release or guide interviews.

>>322858072
What platform? PS3 here, I still get invaded in nearly every area, even Darkmoons. And the forest is as active as ever

>>322857746
SL20 Silver Knight, Anal London

SL5 Laurentius, Blighttown

SL15 Kirk, Depths

Working on other builds for different areas.

>>322854265
Design wise, Brume tower was my favourite part of DaS2 DLC.

Although I think the Ivory King ramparts were actually my favourite design wise.

Also, Raime/Alonne were god-tier boss fights, easily the best in classic Souls formula.

>>322858329
Holy shit this is amazing, I hope it stays in the game

>>322858329
Why would they? Hackimura isn't working on this so everything should be fine.

who /network test/ here?

what did you enjoy? what didn't you enjoy as much?

I wasnt fond of the piss filter over everything, compared to the much more colorful screenshots from the leaks. some people say it might have Bloodborne's time of day changes, but I hope not, that was awful, it made everything look the same by draping it all in the same exact lighting.

also im not entirely sold on having to manage TWO estus flasks, although i like having a mana bar now, and it made more sense to have one mana bar for all special actions, rather than balancing spell charges AND Sword Arts charges.

>>322858781
why does she leave her rear exposed

>>322857563
I did a no-shield UGS run In SOTFS and the beginning was the hardest part apart from the Smelter demon's, you're going to be fine

Because her rear is too powerful to be contained.

>>322858793
I like the two estus flasks.

Although I like the separate charges more.
Probably because I played DaS first, then DeS.

>>322858912
what does it do

>>322858479
I am so happy PS3 is as active as it is, I normally invade Anor Londo but theres still a surprising amount of low level action in the Depths. Wish I had my PS3 with me so I could play. Every time I play still I find myself saying out loud "People STILL play this?"

My hard drive formatted itself a few months ago so I played unpatched 1.00 Dark Souls and got to dick around and relive my memories of playing the game for the very first time, had a few laughs before I felt like going online and updated the game. Anybody else done this by accident or purposely?

>>322858592
You really don't need your SL to be that low. I do SL1 burg/parish, 20-30 depths/blighttown, 45 Sen's, 50 AL, 60 endgame, 100-120 oolacile.

This guy just released his final piece about Dark Souls 2 https://youtu.be/9rrs9bdrwO4

Someone posted him in one of the older threads and even if I don't agree with stuff, it's interesting. He made a lot of videos on DS1 and 2, kind of like in response to Matthewmatosis, where he critiques 1 and defends 2.

As I said, I don't agree with him in various points and he gets weirdly personal while trying to give objective criticism, but it's OK. Just popped on my YouTube and since I saw this thread I thought I should show you guys.

>>322859164
I've been playing DaS since release if I don't gimp myself it isn't fun.
Especially with all the new steamsale players.

>>322858793
The double estus flask isn't really going to make you manage your heals THAT differently, how many different healing items did you end up using in DaS2? Estus flask and five or more lifegems at a time. And DeS had a bunch of different grasses.

It's nice that someone defends DaS2 at least.

Too many people shit on it by just bandwagoning.

Question
Can Dark Souls be played using the keyboard and mouse?

>>322858718
Tanimura is assisting development of DaS3.
Tanimura isn't the reason DaS2 was sub-par, Shibuya was.
