Nice Cherry picking.

Most enemies in DS2 had absurdly unfair tracking.

>>324398264

Hopefully you can't. Parry fishers are almost as bad as BS fishers. And having to pay art points seems fair enough.

Souls games don't work well with hordes.

Dark Souls 2 bosses/Scholars of the First Sin enemy placement is garbage, and works against the game.

>>324398264
Hopefully if you try to parry it it guardbreaks you
Its slow enough that you could parry it on reaction 100% of the time with a decent connection, so it should punish you for trying

>>324397742
Even though there isn't much tracking there that clip is hardly a good defence of the game. The enemy is just very slowing and clumsily spamming the same slow and clumsy combo.

It looks like it is in slo-mo and where the DS3 clip shows the enemy doing a spinning back hand to protect itself that enemy just awkwardly goes through a reset animation and continues spamming the same move. He literally just stops, turns on spot without moving his feet and does the exact same move again.

Christ Dark Souls 2 fucking sucked.

It has an absurd tracking. I saw a lot of people trying to go for a backstab (because it seems obvious) and it never worked. The backstab just whiffed and then they were sent flying.

That should be applied to all big slow shield bashs, because in Dark Souls, apart from shoving people down archways, they did no damage, high stamina consumption and high recovery.

At least this way they can compete with smaller shields, and can synergize with weapons by being able to attack as the opponent recovers from stun.

Well if you aren't being too over-eager it seems like you could just wait until after the attack to go in for the backstab.

>>324399468
It did, weapon arts use both a large chunk of stamina and some MP, so you cannot spam them, they're very situation as you can see.

They open you to backstabs about as much as being staggered or casting a long spell.

It also a greatsword upwards swing that lifts the enemy off the ground, how much fucking stamina did you expect it to take?

I didn't play bloodborne but from what I understand you have to charge up an attack to then backstab.

How is this ever landed in pvp if it takes a second to charge up? Wouldn't the enemy have plenty of time to roll/turn around?

>>324400495
Not really, Bloodborne just made backstabs like parries where you had to execute on an ability with good timing in order to earn them.

Now they've just gone back to:
>Walk behind enemy
>Tap R1 for free damage

Having to land a charged heavy on their back before you could execute the backstab just like you have to parry an attack before you could execute a riposte was a back improvement as it eliminated backstab fishing while preserving the real purpose of the mechanic.

Parry = chance to riposte
and
Visceral = chance to backstab

was a perfect and equal system. Just having to walk behind the enemy with no further requirement again is a step back.

>>324400664
He said Human AI, you do know what AI means, right?

>>324401028
This.

They even made a sword for that reason and it's called bollock dagger.

>>324401013
That was the case in Dark Souls 2. You could initiate a riposte after breaking the enemy poise, too.

In the webm you quoted, that's a sword art. The longsword sword art breaks the shield guard and let you initiate a riposte.

Yes that's why backstabs rarely happened in PVP, unless you got lucky enough to hit them in the back with a charge attack.

Parrying was much more common, but still tricky to pull off in PVP.

Yes, and that's Shibuya's fault.
Because of him they had to completely remake the game already halfway into the development using already created assets, since he made a complete steaming pile of shit that was not even a souls game, by any stretch of imagination, and NAMCO wouldn't allow Tanimura to rebuild the game from scratch like he originally intended, because they're a bunch of jews. As far as underwhelming the final "salvaged" product was, it's millions time better that we could've gotten if Shibuya wasn't told to fuck off.

>>324399981
dark souls 1 is the highlight of the series and it's best on PC

3 is just bloodborne without retarded chromatic abberation

>>324401615
that was already in Bloodborne

>>324401185
I didn't realise most enemies in DaS2 had stamina bars, they just seemed to spam moves endlessly with no real opportunity to attack. Especially if they were AI summons.

>>324401805
>>324401615
They're just the jumping attack in DS3, it's not a uniuqe move.

>>324401302
The purpose of the backstab is to reward the player with bonus damage when they are able to approach the backside of an enemy while they are in a vulnerable state.

Bloodborne achieves this by making it so that when an enemy leaves itself open you are given an opportunity to EARN a back stab on an vulnerable enemy but doesn't allow you to just bait them like in the Souls games.

Being able to just circle around an enemy with your shield raised and then just tap R1 the second there was an kind of delay in them turning wasn't a good element of that game. The fact that you could be facing an enemy that was engaging you and had it's shield raised and just run behind it and cheese a free backstab out of it was categorically a problem.

A backstab should be something you earn when an enemy leaves itself open. It should not be a case of just spinning in a circle and tapping R1.

>>324401626

What kind of motherfucker do you have to be to be like "I made this sword for the sole purpose of stabbing other people in the balls"

>>324401149
>was a perfect and equal system
What? No it wasn't, in BB it's much easier to land a parry than it is to land a charged attack from behind
Also the dashing in BB is much faster than rolling in Souls games which means it's much easier to get behind enemies, so they needed to balance it out somehow.
I think they found a good middle ground for DS3, since you'll still miss a backstab and even leave yourself open if you didn't time it well.

>>324401805

>>324401891

>Firstly, I’d like to ask director Tanimura to give an overview of the Dark Souls 2 design process. This was your first role as director and you had some difficult shoes to fill in those of Mr Miyazaki, who was really the cornerstone of both the previous entry Dark Souls and its spiritual prequel Demon’s Souls. On top of that it was the first direct sequel in the series. Was it as difficult as it sounds?

It was at that point that I took on my current role, overseeing the entirety of the game including the art direction.

We had to decide what to do with the designs and maps that had been created up to that point.

Do you really think he'd say "god this game is fucked up, and I'mtrying to salvage as much as possible here"? Of course he had to choose the words extremely carefully, if he didn't want to lose the job, that is.
I mean, hell, how was that not a remake when the original game had fucking open world?

are those balder knights? the new design looks great

Chaos is going to be more important in this game, isn't it?

I expect lots of cool Chaos Pyromancies.

Souls has always had Berserk rules, where your size increases with power level. I use this in my D&D campaign because it's my fetish. It also helps you spot enemies more easily.

Some would say the first guy who claimed that DS1 was like that is in denial and not worth arguing with. And they'd be right because he didn't actually make a point or back up his claim so there's nothing to argue against.

I didn't say they didn't change anything, I said they didn't remake it. He even says they re-purposed most of what was there. And he ALSO says in that interview that he's confident you can't tell from playing the final game, which is him taking responsibility for what's there.

No, as in, it had open world like TES where you can go anywhere.
It got butchered because the execution was fucking horrible, you can sorta notice the result of that on screenshots like these >>324402261. It's pretty noticable that terrain in the background was originally intended to be walked upon. It's also pretty apparent when you look at the game's map and see that different locations (like majula and heide) are actually miles apart.
DaS3, thankfully, doesn't seem to suffer from these problems. Picrelated.

>>324403334
IIRC the same thing happened with dark II's e3 presentation, they probably set their damage lower because the developers suck so much at playing their own game

Once again, look at how Capcom did it in MH. Your precious "PREPARE TO DIE!!!" studio can't even git gud at animating their games.

>>324405626
I think the poise even works the same was as BB. Where its non existent, if you get hit you get staggered, no tanking enemy attacks to deal damage, you dodge or gt staggered, very simple. Id like a confirmation on this because its just what people are saying.

Can one use a VPN to connect to Steam through Japan and download the game?

Thanks for proving again that it's a waste of time to have an argument with people in denial.
I'm going to assume you are the guy I was having the conversation with and chuckle at the irony of being called a hypocrite.

>>324406656
he turns fast enough that you can never get past his side tails even when running naked.

seath is worse than anything in ds2 because even if you manage to get past him when he does his breath attack he will flail his tails around and insta kill you.

honestly, I'm surprised there isn't one yet.
they already killed two little girls in Bloodborne, they clearly don't give a fuck about who dies in these games.

>>324406773
I dont care what people say, BB was harder, and going back and playing DaS it just feels so fucking slow and methodical. I prefer the aesthetic of knights and shit as oppose to victoria era though. Keep the wierd shit in there but change the era.

>>324406039
You can roll out of that easily

Those people are retards

>implying BB was anything but a simplification of the -souls formula

>>324406928

I don't see that at all. It's on par with Demon's Souls and I'm glad because I hate how slow each subsequent game has become.

>>324406429
the upgrade paths were great.
getting the materials, however, was not. At all.

>Random
Not really

>Idiotic - lacking intelligence or common sense.
As demonstrated when you called someone out with out any intelligent point or even the sense to back up your claim.

>Hypocritical - behaving in a way that suggests one has higher standards or more noble beliefs than is the case.
As demonstrated when you called someone out as being in denial for not presenting an argument or supporting their claim when you did exactly that yourself.

Frankly my allegations seem pretty fucking on point and not "random" or "petty". And I'll give you credit for supporting your point with a video demonstration of your claim now, but my issue wasn't with your opinion. It was with your hypocritical and idiotic post earlier.

>>324406464
that would still take far more skill than mindlessly mashing R1 with a rapier

I am so ready. Please.

>>324404978

Not him, but yes... You're cancelling mid swing. Swing and wait for your weapon it to return to neutral while holding up on the analog. You skip a ton of animation with consecutive swings and rolls. Also, they had weapons in Dark Souls that had long whiff animations, and they were shit gameplay wise.
This is the same convention that everything from DMC, Ninja Gaiden, and fighting games follow (rapid consecutive nonsensical attacks through cancelling).

>>324407073
it's really not, but okay

after what a disappointment 2 was, I'm incapable of getting excited for it

we'll see firsthand soon

Or maybe they should worry more about what feels good to play than what triggers your autism.

I'd rather die of fucking aids

And why, pray tell, is Dark Souls, a series built on slow, semi-realistic, methodical combat, "following" rules of fast-paced beat-em-ups?

>>324397610
>backstabs are still in the game

ugh. just why?

>>324406720
what's your point, exactly?

what's wrong with those?

>>324406773
>>324407000
But bloodborne is the easiest of the games in the series. The amount of stamina your dodges consume is just laughable, you can prance around like a mountain goat without ever being punished, and the amount of blood vials you get is just abundant. I don't think I even died a single time until I got to Vicar Amelia.

Well-animated combat feels good to play, dude.

>>324406274
Well it's pretty clear that the enemy there performed a big sweeping horizontal attack there. And he was still actually facing away from the player when the animation was finished.

Comparing that to Dark Souls 2 where an enemy would track you 180 degrees by spinning on the spot with a purely vertical attack with no horizontal movement in it is just apples and oranges.

>>324407387
I hope you do

There'll be DaS2 stuff, since we see a giant just like the ones in das2

You are mistaking my lack of interest in wasting time with in lost causes with not being able to back up claims.

SO yeah, random petty insults. And the best part is that everyone quoting the post with the video are only proving further that I shouldn't have wasted my time.
