Actually, it looks like it's more of a combination of DaS2 and DaS1 backstabs, meaning it's still pretty fast to backstab someone but there is a moment during the animation when you can actually dodge out of the way.

They are basically completely killing online.

This series invented the invasion mechanic altogether, when coming up with something original in this day and age is actually hard as fuck since pretty much everything's already been tried already, yet they just can't stop shitting on it.

It's just baffling.

They completely ruined dark souls 2's online system by not giving us a permanent invasion item and soul memory. In bloodborne they also trashed it, although not as hard, by making you fight ganksquads all the time.

Most of these things were done to prevent twinking but it only made twinkers the standard. I have never seen a single invasion in bloodborne that wasn't a fully finished character with chalice gems and these are the ones I use to invade as well.

DeS is the only game that understood invasions and made them part of the actual game because it rewarded you by giving you half your HP back. I wish we could go back to such a simplistic, straight forward and fully functional formula like this one.

Tons of people who played the demos said that at least against enemies they would go in for a backstab and in the middle of the initial "stab" there would be a moment where the enemy was still moving, I also saw a DaS3 network test PvP video where someone did actually dodge the backstab, though I can't find it.

I'm actually looking forward to see the reaction of people who only play on PC when they see how good they made the hitboxes in this, since it's using bloodborne's engine.

So far, redditor stress testers are consistent with needing a friendly phantom in order to be invaded and works like Bloodborne's invasion system. Yes le redditor blah blah epic meme, I don't give a fuck as it's the only source so far about DaS3's invasion system.

Gonna take it wit ha grain of salt as it's just stress testing right now, but I'm not getting my hopes high right now. I don't understand the need to make this so one-sided against invaders. DaS1 had a good system where the host can actively heal his phantoms with Estus chugs while the invader could hide behind mobs.
>>
>>323338624

>>
>>323341015

I just wish they could have kept bloodborne' blood splatter effect as well because that shit looks just fucking amazing. It's so goddamn satisfying to see your character drenched in blood after a long hard uphill fight. I'm gonna play this on PC and I really wish I could see that in all of its glory. And also they should have kept bloodborne's phantom styles as well. The fullbright shit from DaS 2 looks awful.

But yeah, I hope it's good. I'm gonna keep an open mind when playing it and not set my expectations high because that really didn't work out well for me in dark souls 2.

It looks really good to me. The only people that have a real reason to complain are players that are super into invasions and pvp.

>>323338336
BB's backstacb / viscerals were perfect. Can't wait to see the lagstagging fags in DaS3.
>>
>>323341320
I don't even understand the point of coddling the hosts at all, Des/DaS1 had the right ideas, the invader is supposed to be a menace that poses a challenge to the player. If they want to stop twinking just lower the fucking base power on equipment per level of upgrade but greatly increase the scaling, it isn't that fucking hard. And twinking isn't even that much of a problem, at most you'll ever encounter only a couple of twinks at low levels when you can't handle them, if people really have a problem with twinks just play offline or implement the DaS2 thing where you can pay humanity to temporarily halt invasions.

This is true. It begun with me looking at the weapon upgrading in DS1 because of the brutality of giving just barely enough materials in a playthrough and then not adequate explanation on how to use them.

Then while you are there you realise the weapon you are upgrading was not the best.

Then you try to figure out the best weapon, say "Holy shit, wait some gear can affect your attributes?", "There were whole zones I missed?" and next thing you know you've absorbed the wiki into your scalless proto-flesh.

>>323342374

I like letting the player explore and learn by testing things, but bloodborne for example has some retardation, such as the fact you can't trust your weapons actual AR because there's some hidden bullshit multiplier on them. It's needlessly complicated and retarded.

Sorcery is derived from the INT stat
Miracles from FAI

Sorceries tend towards magic missiles out the ass, whereas miracles are more towards buffing/heals/protection. Offense and defense, basically
>>
>>323342021

I feel like DaSII had the right idea as far as invasions go (Introducing the Sentinels of Blue and allowing you to sacrifice effigies in order to temporarily prevent invasions.), but then they ruined it by not including a full red-eye orb and then by introducing SM.

>>323342206

Have you even been in a fight club? Or in an invasion at all? It's easy to parry enemies in your own game, but with latency involved it is actually difficult to parry another player consistently if they are not retarded. Guns aren't as safe as you think they are.

This is why bloodborne and demon souls will always be the best the soul series had to offer.

Bloodbone had the atmosphere and story like demon souls while giving you good gameplay mechanics.

The multiplayer is shit and you can only invade in two areas freely without getting gank squaded,but you can die so easily in BB that fighting 2 players at the same time int that much of a hassel

Demon souls had good atmosphere and story and great online aside from grass spam.

Faggots who complain about twinkers were the same casual scum who gave from a reason to destory the multiplayer of the souls games.

The whole point of invading someone is to fuck with them!
Its suppose to bee annoying.

Casuals ruin everything.
I'm surprised from even listened to their bitching since they are Japanese developers and they usually dont give the slightest shit whay american, tumblr,casual,sjw,faggots think in the slightest.

I honestly have very little faith in DarkSouls3 and dont plan on getting unless i hear they truly bring the souls games back to what they should be.

Thank gor for this. I would drop the game hard if we wen't back to dark souls 2's abomination.

>>323343245
I agree with you. I really enjoy the chaotic nature of invasions but yet these retards simply cannot understand that it's called an INVASION, not a DUEL. I'd much rather have the freedom we had in DeS instead of this padded out bullshit they are pulling off because some random retard got his ass handed out to him by someone who probably wasn't even a twink and went online to cry about it.

Wake and bake followed by a relaxed blowjob from my girlfriend while we lounge on the couch. Nachos and beer for lunch along with a refresher bowl of weed to keep the buzz going. Videogames all afternoon of varying kinds before having Kalamari and Lamb on Rice for dinner. More beer and weed as the evening goes on. Fuck my girlfriend then cuddle and watch a movie or some TV shows on Netflix.

No. Play the full series starting with the first one. I guess if you're a huge casual and don't really care much, you could probably get away with playing any one of them as a standalone experience, but I think you'd enjoy that less.

Ideally you'd play them in this order:

>Dark Souls
>Dark Souls 2
>Dark Souls 3
>Demon's Souls
>Bloodborne

It's for the hardcore enthusiast of the series. It's the smallest game with the most flaws and least balanced content. I wouldn't blame somebody if they didn't get pulled into DeS. I'm not sure I'd respond the same way if they had trouble getting into DaS.

It's fine as a first experience, nothing stopping you from enjoying the fuck out of it. But it's weakest of the series on an objective level and it's also not terribly accessible from a purchasing/accessing/playing standpoint what with it being exclusive for a last gen console.
>On the other hand, my first character was a magic build so it was really easy to cheese stuff.
That's part of the problem though. DeS isn't balanced. It's really easy to just breeze it with a magic build or something. Most of the bosses are boring gimmicks rather than interesting combat encounters. It's not as good. I enjoyed it as a followup to DaS1 after I'd decided I liked the series. It was inferior in almost every respect and I was honestly pretty let down by it overall. It's not worth prioritizing. DaS2:SotFS beats it out easily.

I've logged 2k hours in Bloodborne. The only versions of a Souls game I haven't played is Chinese Import Demon's Souls and Unpatched Demon's Souls.

I really disliked SM4SH, and Mario Kart 8 was pretty much the only other thing I was interested in - it definitely met/exceeded expectations, but a party game can only carry me so far.
My favorite game of 2014 was Alien: Isolation, but outside of that it was... boring. There were a few good games, but almost no great ones.

I can't see your argument bro.

I still remember when Platinum devs joked about B2 as if it was "NEVEREVER" status. Pic related of course.

Just started playing through it this week. I like the torch mechanics but you can still see the lighting downgrades. Combat feels clunky as hell, especially after playing BB. Some of the armor is atrocious. Level design isn't as great as the other games. Soul memory seems like a shitty mechanic that punishes co-op rather than it's original intentions.

I just wasn't into the first Bayonetta so I never tried the second and Hyrule Warriors just isn't my speed. They both could be great, but since I'm a self-centered asshole I judge the quality of a year on what I liked.
I forgot about Tropical Freeze, though, that game was the shit. Never beat it, but the first few worlds are beautiful and fun.

I don't know, man, I have yet to believe that it is coming to NX, and that's the only reason that it'd get delayed.
As for why we haven't seen any footage, I think they Nintendo is trying to make E3 2016 as good as they can and they're just holding off on footage so they don't pull another E3 2015 - you know, blowing their load through Directs earlier in the year so their E3 presentation was disappointing.

Demon's Souls also gave you a 20% damage boost as an invader using the Foe's Ring, and another 20% for having pure black character tendency as a black phantom to make up for itAlthough I'm not sure that one actually works, the wiki says it exists but the damage difference between wearing the foe ring and not is really noticeable but I never really noticed my damage going up as my character tendency darkens.

And all we actually know about DaS3 is that hosts are likely to have an HP advantage, and in the network test it had Bloodborne style ganks-only invading. Its too early to call invading dead, but looking at the direction they've been going since Dark Souls 1 concern is definitely appropriate.

what a fucking buzzword, if anything, the combat was a little more restrictive while you attacked. Much less tracking on your attacks, specially in heavy weapons, rolling attacks don't track the same way they do in Bloodborne (Try going to DS2 after playing with BoM in Bloodborne), and polearms having sweetspots. But I don't mind these changes, it makes it different than the others and forced me to git gud when using weapons. I also like that I can roll towards any direction instead of the 8-way DS1 and BB have. None of the things you say were actually bad (at worse mediocre), the only really shit things about DS2 were Soul Memory, enemy depopulation (which you can get around), and how confusing some covenants could be.
>>
>>323351154

I'm currently debating this as well but only due to hackers.

I know. I've played the test and I played lots of BB.
>Its too early to call invading dead, but looking at the direction they've been going since Dark Souls 1 concern is definitely appropriate.
It'll be fine. Really. I wouldn't worry about it. So long as the enemies are passive to the host and you can knock people off cliffs or hit them while they're fighting enemies, invasions will be viable and fun. I had a lot of fun in DaS3 invading during the test. I often was victorious and even if I wasn't. It was pretty intense stuff. You do know that invaders recover esutsu for killing players right? Like I was able to nuke a whole squad because I kept regenerating estus after each kill?

have they said this?

The thing that bothered me about the trailers and demo is that the villain just looks bland and it's the same look and main character of HR. The story also seems blunt as fuck with the "subhumans" getting divided and eventually starting a communist like revolution, just like we've seen time and time again in other games, hell, even the villain is russian.

I hope I'm wrong and the game turns out well, the fact that illuminati seems to have a more central role judging from the trailer has peaked my curiosity, but from what I've seen so far it really feels just like a straight sequel, a Human Revolution 1.5 instead of a true Deus Ex sequel.

I decided to reinstall DS1 and build my classic lvl 1 dickwraith for ganking new players in the Burg. Then I found out online is dead and I couldn't find someone to invade no matter where I tried it.

>>323360445
DaS 1 could have been a tad more clear on direction, but at the same time I feel like it was pretty fair. For example, people always complain about the Catacombs but if you talk to the guy who you're plopped right in front of, he's like "go up those stairs over there." The thing is, there isn't a specific order you're supposed to do things. If you get through it and can't progress further (Catacombs, Door to Sen's Fortress, Sealed Door in [The Forest], etc..) it's usually accompanied by information hinting why that is and you're able to realize "oh, I should do something else and come back later."

So again, it could be a tad better but I still enjoyed not being babbied like a lot of games.

the bosses in DaS1 were also quite large desu.

>Asylum Demon/Demon Firesage
>Gaping Dragon
>huge obese guy, and oversized lancer guy
>a motherfucking Hydra
>Gavelord Nito
>Iron Golem
>bed of chaos...some weird giant tree. (also bullshit and poor design)
>Quelaag, giant half spider demon woman
>4 huge ghost kings
>A couple of full sized dragons, Seath in particular being huge
>ceaseless discharge
>Sif (colossal wolf)
>Giant centipede + lava

Optional
>Giant humanoid dragon girl Priscilla
>Manus
>Artorias (oversized knight)

This franchise always features huge bosses. Even the "humanoids" are oversized as bosses.

It's really a shame that magic is so shit. Even when it's overpowered, it's still always the same thing. Projectile spam. Different types of projectiles, but projectiles nonetheless. Doing a magic build in DaS was the most boring way to play the game. Literally all you do is run away and then shoot magic the entire time.

I'd like to see them retool magic into something else so that it's not just projectile bullshit. More stuff along the lines of the magic greatsword would be cool. Make magic unique and interesting without being the playstyle of scrubs who just run away and shoot magic and rely on lag

Because its standard procedure to move livestock across the highway when the highway cuts through your fields? The driver did not attempt to slow down or anything and he put even the shepherd at risk. It's a clear cut case of reckless driving.

>>323361537

Yeah if there were more than half a dozen weapons. I know there are more now with the expansion, but I haven't gone back to play it. I got bored with BB just after the AYY boss.

I still think the atmosphere is stellar, but for me that's really all there was. The fast paced combat is great, but it's just sidestepping taking the place of rolling.

Like or dislike a game, but to claim there is nothing special here is overly dismissive of its unique parts.

Take Deadly Premonition. Sure, thats a bad game, but to claim there isnt something special there is put it next to functional, gray-brown shooters of the "eh' genre.

I'm doing that right now. Iron passage followed by a 2nd smelter demon fight was infuriating as fuck, the rooms where you have to drop down to fight multiple skeletons and those giant club swinging things that spit fire from their shoulders was also just tedious, not fun.

Currently trying to beat Fume knight and dying over and over again trying to roll sideways through the horizontal and varying swings which he sometiems delays just isn't fun to me.

Souls games are fun when you're having your shield up, moving slowly through the environment, watching for traps and keeping track of your footing. Then after a long ass walk you're starting to get paranoid, because you're sitting on lots of souls and you're just waiting to find the next bonfire. Or when you've gone a long way and gone far far into the dungeon, and then that giant fog door comes and you have to go up against the boss, and so much is at stake because you've spent so much time getting there and again, you're carrying a lot of precious souls.
Then the boss fight starts, and if you focus enough and stay vigilant, you can beat it in the first try. That's what I got a lot from Demon's souls, and in some parts of Dark souls.
I'd argue that this game is too hard and not engaging because of it. Inb4 git gud.

The covenant is currently the best of any Souls series, Bloodborne included.

It doesn't.
Because its primary concern is to create varied level design without such constraint of it being 'consistent'.
In DaS majority of the connected level are bricks and forest, which also consist most of the starting area.

Technically, you can see Majula and Drangleic Castle from a lot of places in the game, just how you can see Boletaria from 2-1 in DeS.

Its not even that complex, not to mention its THE ONLY AREA IN THE WHOLE GAME that feature such thing.

The only good shit is the connection between new londo and drake valley, and even then the fucking drake valley is literally a hallway.

Why are you deflecting like this?

>>323377420
You clearly never played the other souls game to make such retarded comments.
>>
>>323377448
That image is so bullshit. Snake woman's arena is inside the Earthen Peak building, and most definitely not twice the width of the entire area

Stop trying to excuse B-Teams fuckups

DaS2 has very shitty level design. There is not a single big complex area like in other Souls games. The biggest is probably Drangleic castle or Iron Keep which are pretty straighforward too.

The DaS2 DLC areas are a PERFECT example of how every area should be treated in terms of level design, that's how other Souls games actually looked like.
>>
>>323359915
More or less even skill PVP is a possibility that shouldn't be given up on.
>>
>>323377603

We're not talking about other games.

>>323377693

Why do you keep bringing up DaS1 when we're talking about 2?

1's areas were also cramped, but at the very least they weren't dull as fuck like the areas in 2.
>>
>>323377739
This.
All areas are small and straightforward, lack of shortcuts too, bonfire close to each other and before boss.
>>
>>323377739

I might have to play the DLC then.

So what build is everyone taking in DSIII? I'm sticking to my first build: a Pyro-Din- half pyromancer, half-paladin. Love miracles and fire, but I can't get into crystal magic and hexing despite the fact that they share the same stat (INT). Taking greatswords and halberds as my main weapons.

>people actually defending DaS2's level design while trying to belittle DaS's level design

what the fuck
>>
>>323378162
>After all A team made the DLC.

Fun fact; Its the same fucking team and director.

The differences? The DLC area is the only area this team managed to start from scracth.

Also fun fact; Dark Souls 2 were once completely scrapped.
The game taht we got now is the game that were made using the scrapped asset and were mashed together.

>>323377704
Because it's a valid fucking question? I gave you what I thought were open ended areas with lots of hidden places and you just "nah, they don't count". What honestly counts as a non cramped area?
>>323377943
>lack of shortcuts
Yeah, because going around opening doors from the other side that lead to the starting place is somehow better?
>>
>>323378262
It's quite obvious when you compare the quality of the DLC to vanilla.
>>
>>323376741

Soulsfags who takes PVP too seriously do.
>>
>>323378325
it's like they think no one on /v/ has actually played these games
>>
>>323378272
Quelag is the easiest boss.
>>
>>323377739
The DLC is all Tanimura, rather than content from when the game was originally open world.
>>
>>323378272
Swordsman with some support Pyromancy, same as I've been doing since Dark Souls 1. Usually something middle-of-the-road (like Claymore) with decent scaling, and a backup fuck-huge sword if I something is giving me trouble.
>>
>>323378272
I'm going to do a quality build by getting all stats to 25
>>
>>323378423
"A Team" was busy with Bloodborne and it's DLC, the DLC just shows the difference when the devs don't have to start the project again mid development

>>323378272
Quality Knight, might throw pyromancies or miracles later on

DaS2 have more complex levels individually compared to DaS.
Yes, it lack the spiral and connectivity that DaS featured in part of its game, but as a trade off each level is very distinctive from each other.
>>
>>323378272
QUALITY CLAYMORE SCRUBBING IN, it was the first build I used in DS1

>>323378474
Did you ever fight Pinwheel, anon
>>
>>323378418
>I gave you what I thought were open ended areas with lots of hidden places

Yeah the fucking HUB.

Then people called you out for being a dumb faggot, and now you're trying to bring up other games we're not even talking about.

Good job.
>>
>>323378647

I disagree, and all I see are hallways.
>>
>>323378647
AHAHAHAHAH
WHAT?!

MORE COMPLEX LEVELS?
HAHAHAHAHA

AHAHAHAHHAHA

Did you even play the fucking game?
All DaS2 areas are straightforward linear paths, not to mention all small as SHIT.
Did you play DaS2 DLCs? That's how areas should look like. And if you say they are the same as any other area in the game then you are legit retarded.
>>
>>323378661
He's so retarded that I don't consider him a boss.
>>
>>323378647

has not have holy fuck you illiterate tard

there's nothing complex about 2's design or unique for that matter

most areas looked the same and holy fuck look at all those hallways

Forest of fucking giant is more on the complex side.
So is no mans wharf, lost bastille, huntsmen copse and the gutter.
Even things betwixt have its fair share of complexity.
>>
>>323379261
>If I no-clip the map makes no sense!
That's the way it has been in both DaS and Bloodborne

>>323378647
>>323379327
>>323379409

So fucking cramped.
>>
>>323379409

I don't think you know what complexity is.

>>323379447

Watch the actual video you fucking retard. It just shows what a stupid design decision it was. Stop being a fucking B-Team drone.
>>
>>323379447

Admit it, even the director said that the elevator transition was a mistake.
