It's entirely up to your preference for the most part.

60 int is a must
Use base stats for whatever weapon you want, but remember to use a weapon that goes with your magic build
Sage ring +2
Young / Bellowing dragon rings (get both of them)
4th ring is wild

Spells (what I'm using)
Farron Dart
Soul Greatsword
Homing Soulmass
Crystal Soul Arrow

All of your attributes depend on how you want your mage build to be. I've opted for a warlock that using both physical (hyesel pick) and magic (soul greatsword) as the bread and butter. If you want more long range, take out some vig and put it into ATN to get some more long range spells.

I had no estus, no lifegems, and for some reason expected it to be one of those fog walls you just pass through instead of a fight. And I know "fight" isn't even the right word for those guys.

2 swings from flashsword for 200-250 damage each into a 500-600 damage soul greatsword catches so many people because soul greatsword has retardedly deceiving range. At 25 END + FaP+1 you even have enough stamina to spam 200-250 damage Great Deep Souls to keep up the pressure.
>>
>>165406191
Difficulty would have to be dependent on whether or not its your first time playing a souls game.

DS2 is harder if all you played was DS1 than if you start with DS2.

DS3 is harder if you haven't played other souls games before.

>>
>>165409379
Nioh is shit. If they haven't changed anything combat-wise from the beta, they really need to.
Fighting groups is literally impossible, since both guarding and taking a hit take off enormous chunks of your stamina, not to mention running out of stamina puts you into a state that might as well just outright kill you.
So you end up either trying to pull one guy at a time with some ranged weapon, or you get the group and spend 90% of the "fight" hitting a guy once, running away to separate from the guys catching up, and repeating until they're all dead.
It's a really fuckin' stupid stamina system that fucks with the whole game.

That entire paragraph just described every souls game besides Bloodborne, and even then it's still pretty close.
>not to mention running out of stamina puts you into a state that might as well just outright kill you
I'd rather have to actually pay attention to my stamina than have fucking dks 3's stamina system again. Stamina drain is also insanely fucking important for your enemies, too. If you see an enemy with low stamina, you get aggressive and hit his guard with high stance attacks, or use the kick skill from medium stance.
>It's a really fuckin' stupid stamina system that fucks with the whole game.
Ki regen was a thing for a reason. The fucking Ki regain mechanic was an amazing mechanic after playing the souls games for the past 5 years. A new player was terrified of running out of stamina while a skilled player who mastered ki regain timing might as well have been playing with 3 chloranthy rings equipped.
>>
>>165407736
Fist phase is kinda just bullshit until you get a feel for it, after which it simply becomes unfun

Second mode is actually a good fight, but he starts using shittier attacks in the second half of his second mode. The real issue is that the first mode acts as a buffer preventing you from constantly practicing against the second mode, which causes him to take a while to beat for some players in conjunction with how punishing he is damage wise. Ultimately just don't panic roll, its no different from dancer, and you don't have to worry as much about positioning or strafing. He gives you fewer opportunities to attack than dancer does though, and he'll take any trade he can get.

>ki regen was a thing for a reason
That only mattered if you were on the attack constantly. Which you weren't against any group. You still had to do your 1-2 hits, book it, and come back, because if you ever got hit after attempting an attack, you were almost certainly out of stamina or close to it and thus couldn't block/dodge more than 1 more attack. Then, again, the "exhaustion" mode kicks in and you're dead.
Losing stamina on hit or exhaustion mode. One of them needs to go. It's shit otherwise. Or they need to drastically reduce the amount of stamina consumed when blocking, because as I recall, your whole bar drained in just 3 or so defends.

Literally, get good. You can pull one or small groups, and small groups are easy to fight. Stop turtling and stop spamming and stamina won't be an issue. Running out of stamina doesn't leave you vulnerable, trying to take an action after you are out does. You can also "active reload" your stamina, so if you are good then you are almost never out. running away to separate them involves running like 5 feet, tops.

You do realize that there are a shitload of PC-exclusive games out there that play far better using a controller than with KB+M, right? Are you some poorfag who can't even afford to buy a second-hand DS3 or 360 controller?

Being on the attack was one of the most important things to do during group fights, and ki regain with the proper skill (as in power, not player's general skill) let you regain more stamina than you had even spent from the attack, while also letting you chain combos for better burst damage.

2 mid stance hits -> perfect ki regain into high stance for even more bonus stamina -> high stance light, light heavy killed most enemies then and there. If they didn't die from that you could ki regain + stance swap right back to mid stance for even more combos. If you could keep these combos going, your stamina should have never dropped below 90% unless you dodge, and dodging was more useful for just getting distance once your stamina was low enough anyway.

>Or they need to drastically reduce the amount of stamina consumed when blocking, because as I recall, your whole bar drained in just 3 or so defends.

Are we talking about the "alpha" or the beta demo? I remember the alpha was pretty slow paced and stamina loss was fucking nuts, and the beta fixed most of that.

It definitely feels like it has the widest window. Might just be the way so many enemy attacks are animated as well.

>missing the entire point of being PC master race
Have fun with the game then. When you get tired of repeatedly dying because of using an inferior control scheme, feel free to uninstall and never come here again.

>>165416470
As far as I'm concerned it's perfect.

Maybe *maybe* add a couple recovery frames to pushes so they can't pushlock.

But honestly I'd just want a direct port with no alteration.

DeS, Dragon's Dogma, and Front Mission 4 on PS4 fucking when?
>>
>>165416645
>have to go to NG++ just for favor ring+2

>>
>>165416470

I just played and finished it for the first time this week, believe me, it is not perfect.

But adding new stuff in a remaster is tricky.
Some changes like those +1 rings might be cool, but nostalgic players might be upset if too much is changed up.

Personally, I'd want the game to not automatically send you into NG unless you choose an option in the Nexus to, maybe stick it onto some ornament on the wall.
Also allow the player to level up off of that ornament after the Maiden in Black is gone, for obvious reasons.

Hexes are pretty strong and will get you through most of the game, except the DLCs. Same for Sorcery, the Major League Great Sword is pretty baller in this game. Only real problem is that Faith is shit for offensive until late game, and Pyro is resisted by quite a bit of stuff.

There isn't really anything to be avoided since just about any build is viable. Just make sure to level Adaptability for rolling i-frames, and keep in mind that every 10% or so of equip load you save under 70% has a positive effect on your roll distance.

PVP can be fun, but only for your second character onward when you know how to build a character from scratch. Soul Memory sucks fucking ass and you will most likely ruin your first character for PVP (everybody does, don't worry about it).

It's never banned people from copying their save file. The lower SM value doesn't matter because you have less game progress. You're supposed to back the save file up in case your original one gets corrupted. This is the Bandai-namco approved method of saving your game manually and you won't be banned.

You will be banned if you manually -edit- your SM though, or try to load another save file with modified items or SL/SM.

I still wish Miyazaki hadn't decided to go back to the lazy DaS1 riposte and backstab animations. It felt visceral and satisfying to impale and lift the other guy up by your spear, or bring your sword down over their head and cleave their torso in half, or wind up your UGS and launch them sideways.

>>165422593
The amounts you get are minuscule compared to actually leveling Vigor. It's nothing like leveling Resistance in DaS1.

And to answer your question more thoroughly, there are diminishing returns. Once you start getting a stat past 20, it gives half the HP per level.

>>165424094
Healing Miracles are pretty useful when you have little to no Estus in the early game, though Lifegems more than make up for that later. Offensive Miracles are shit until much later, though you can sub-specialize in Pyromancy since that scales off of both Faith and Int.

If you can grab a Heide weapon or two early on, you'll have an easier time (especially after you infuse it and find Sunlight Blade), and the Flame Longsword also becomes somewhat more useful than if you're going a quality build.

Wiki claims archdeacon great staff at say 60 faith outperforms court sorcerers staff at 60 int with offensive sorceries.

120 is meta but up to 150 you shouldn't have problems.

Make Bramdt do more damage after upgrading

Cut down on the number of health regen items

Improve animations

Add the missing arch stone

Tone down the spear red eye knights who charge at you

Remove world tendency altogether.

Add a duel system

Make it possible to delevel somebody with soulsuck five times max on invasion

The game is very clunky. You could do a lot to change it (add more diverse movesets to weapons, give enemies and bosses new animations so they aren't as painfully basic, patch down the myriad things that break the game, balance weapons) but you would quickly make a game that is nothing like Demon's Souls. DeS, for me, is incredibly atmospheric on first playthrough, and after that is just a fun, easy game to find ways to break.

Here's a guide for completing Demon Souls as quickly as possible:

Kill the Phalanx by throwing fireballs at it. Go to the fourth archstone and pick up the crescent falchion. Then, buy 100 arrows and have some sort of bow. Graverobber blige sells wood arrows for very cheap, he's in a cell underground in 4-1. Then, go to the second archstone. Kill the armored spider with arrows by standing far back against the wall and spamming. Next, buy a soul arrow if you don't have one, and use it to kill flamelurker. Kill the Dragon God. Now, go to 2-2 and kill the tower knight. Rescue Karla and trade the Dragon God soul for firestorm. Use that to kill every other boss in the game.

>>165428820
There aren't any viable weapons that scale well with faith, unless you want to dump enough into strength to use Morne's, in which case you can also use Earth Seeker and Dragonslayer Axe. Find something you want to infuse with lightning or raw, if raw buff it with lighting blade. A lot of faith builds use the dragonslayer axe. If you want to invest a bit in intelligence for hexes, you get some more options.

Rose of Ariandel is bad but usable in PVP at lower levels, it's good for rollcatching and builds up bleed. It will do around 280 damage at 40 faith and base stats.

It's only good if you're going a HexDex build. S scaling Dex weapon with decent Dark scaling requires a lot of stat investment, but you should already be 150 or so by the time you beat Fume Knight anyways.

Yo guys I am doing a run of DS2 and I heard something about Power Stance Blue Flame.
I researched a bit but got confused, its about dual wielding a weapon called Blue Flame that also works as a catalyst.

How do I go about doing the build? do I get this weapon early on or only super late in the game?

Should I start of by getting the minimum dex and str req and dump the rest in int / end / vit, or start of as a caster with some INT so I actually deal damage and put the STR and DEX later?
>>
Is it worth investing points in faith/int to get weapon buffs in DS3? I'm using right now items to buff weapons and it feels much better investments as I can run with my quality bulid.
>>
>>165430489
Blue Flame's a sword catalyst found almost at the end of the game. You can use the two swords to buff each other, making both sorcery and attacks stronger, and then power stance them, holding down triangle to bring up a stance where pressing L1 does duel wielding animations. Level your stats up to 1.5 times the base stats to duel wield (in this case 20 STR, 23 DEX) and build your character as a sorcerer, leveling up intelligence. DLC bosses are very magic resistant, and you may struggle with them. You could CE a couple of them in early and go through the game with them, or you could have somebody give them to you.

This guy said it pretty well >>165431096, but I will add my bit.

Sure, you get blue flame pretty late, but I still had a ball with them. Using them in the dlc was pretty fun, though I didn't think the magic resistance was high until Eleum Loyce.

For the early game, I enjoyed the dragonrider twinblade, which coinidently has the ~20 str ~22 dex that you need to powerstance the blue flames anyway.

Fun fact- even at 50 int, the raw infusion for the blue flame is better because of how garbage their scaling is. They have decent base stats anyway so its not that big of a loss.
>>
Is it just me or are fights significantly easier without phantoms in DS3?

Also, what's a good way to farm souls, I have a bunch of shit I want to buy and I've spent everything raising vigor.
>>
>>165430678
It only takes 10/10 int/faith for carthus flame arc, you might want to get that at the very least but you'll do fine even without buffs really.
>>
>>165431096
>>165431424
So either I ask someone here to somehow get into my world and drop the swords, or I go for a different build and just switch to the Blue Flame once I get them halfway into the game?

Also can I just respec? go full faith build and then just switch up all my stats and what not?
>>
>>165431825
Yeah, you can just respec. I used to sometimes just do a strength with the blacksmiths hammer or lance or a dex build with uchi or a spear until i got the shit for my build and then respec.

w/e floats your boat.
>>
>>165430489
Blue Flame is easiest to get in Undead Crypt, which is pretty late in the game. You can respec as long as you have Soul Vessels, so don't worry about meeting the requirements for it beforehand. Get base str/dex for a rapier and use that in early game. Infuse it to Enchanted once you have a Magic Stone and the ability to do so.

Seeing as I'll be starting as a Sorc, what should I play as until I find the swords? I'd rather it no being pure melee since I already played DeS and DS1 as a pure melee character.

Last 2 questions for me and I'm done.
1) Should I just buy every spell I encounter along the way? or just focus on buying the shit I need?
There isn't a situation where if I skip buying a spell it wont be available anymore or something like that (npc dying as part of the plot, one time offers or stuff like that) Are there spells that can be bought but also gained for free?
2) I never finished DaS1, my PS3 crashed on me when I finished Blighttown, are there any spoilers?
Should I go back and finish DaS1 before continuing?
>>
>>165433771
I would just buy what interests you. You don't need every spell, but trying new ones out is always fun. and not that i am aware of. even if the merchant dies, there is a way to get the spells from them.

For spoilers, Not really, das3 had more than das2 did. Das2 really felt like a completely different game.
>>
>>165433771
There's several spells that are both sold by vendors and found in the environment, but having multiple copies of a spell is beneficial since you can attune it multiple times to get additional casts.

DS2 is almost entirely unrelated to DS1, with some minor lore mentions and one or two cheap throwbacks that don't really add much to the experience even if you do understand them.
>>
>>165433771
>2) I never finished DaS1, my PS3 crashed on me when I finished Blighttown, are there any spoilers?
DS2 is a side game that shouldn't even be considered a dark souls game as far as lore goes because DS3 discards almost everything about it save for a few throwbacks some of which directly mock DS2. Aside from some absolutely pointless and tasteless fanservice you won't miss anything.
>>
>>165433771
>Should I go back and finish DaS1 before continuing?
I'd say, yes, if you have even slight interest in the story.

But the story is less important than the setting, which unravels itself slowly bit by bit, so technically you can play the games in any order and then supplement your knowledge in areas that interest you.

There is way too much rolling in Dark Souls3. You can'\t be guaranteed to roll through everything, is there a good shield idea or anything like that instead?

If you're playing Blue, how often do you run into invaders who fall apart if they can't oneshot the host at the very start?

200 hours of PvP in das 3 and I still can't find a weapon or a combination I enjoy anymore. Its all just refined infused quality. They don't even give slightly varied move sets for weapons within the same weapon class.

like small things such as the das 1 flamberge and the claymore having different 2s or the fullmoon sickle having some halberd attacks even though it belong to the scythe class.

the only they that may be different is the weapon art.

And the problem is?
Weapon arts are just more powerful versions of some moves that previously were on r2s.
If we take a single greatsword class in DS1 and 3, 3 has like four times more unique moves overall.

The only real problem of DS3 is that it has a lot of filler weapons. Actual moveset variety is the best in series.

She also seems to be extremely envious of female portrayed on paintings and statues all over the painted world. Envous enough she was going around smashing all of them and gathered all her paintings in one room, then disguised herself as a noble nun.

Which is interesting because the same statues can be encountered in the new londo in DS1.

>>165441236
what I mean is the only reason you would upgrade a caestus is if you use it as an weapon or to regen fp/hp.
As an parry tool, caestus has a shitty stability making it consume more stamina on partial-parries. It has the best recovery frames (that's why people spam parry), but you can't block-parry like you would with a shield. In the end it depends on how the player uses it.

Yes. If anyone's selling anything you want then you'd better buy it before you go into NG+, especially if you're buying from Orbeck because he gives you some neat stuff if you talk to him after buying certain things.

Do you really find cramped corridors with damage sponge enemies that a large majority of can't be stunned with infinite stamina with shitty level design leading to empty levels that are, as stated above nothing but cramped corridors of damage sponge enemies good?

Where every good change has at least two steps back? Where the areas aren't interconnected but have worse design than any area from Dark Souls 1 or Demon Souls? With the shitty healing mechanics, and bonfires being about five feet from each other leading the game to not really be difficult in any fashion, and just really tedious? Where they took people liking the abstract and interpretation based lore of the past games, and applied it to the story so none of the shit makes any sense?

I absolutely despise dueling culture in dark souls. The pvp in general is shit, but there's some fun to have in invasion fuckery.

Duels, however, are just AWFUL. they bring out egos worse than call of duty. People don't like having their anime creations smacked around by other players cuz uhhh that was BULLSHIT I am CLEARLY THE BETTER PLAYER.

So much anger, so little joy. Back when I would bother dueling, in all 3 DaS games, after I win I would think, "okay, next one." Rarely was it fun. Fight clubs are a bit better, especially when they have restrictions so people can't use their favorite FotM gear and hopefully relax in the process

Where they're literally fucking enemies who reset their animations with infinite stamina as a really shitty attempt to make the game harder instead of actually increasing the difficulty in a way that would take effort(u gais wanteda hrder ng+ right)? When they're shortcuts that are ultimately pointless because of the fact that bonfires are so close together you can just warp to wherever you want? When the designers bring back the sunlight covenant because they have no integrity and want the spasming retards to scream about how hype it is and how glad they are they can praise the sun, and are too lazy to come up with something original? How they make 90% of the update patches about pvp, but fucking refuse to give eyes so people can easily invade, or make way of blue less fucking retarded so pvp can happen more easily?

When they try to make resistance a useful stat but do it in the way that it effects your fucking roll I-frames so early on in the game rolling is an unreliable piece of shit that you'll get hit out of midway through it, from attacks that are nowhere near you because the hitboxes are all fucked.

Are you calling this good?

I enjoy dueling from time to time if it's not forced on you. The arenas in DS2 and DS3 are a decent mix of tryhards, good players and bad players, so it's actually pretty good if you want to try out a build or weapon to see how it does generally before invading with it.

Plus sometimes it's just fun to shit on a lot of people who think they're hot shit using a really gimmicky strategy.

That's how I treat it anyways, and I really hate when people take the "fair duels" mindset outside the arena

>>165446547
It has always been about iframing through everything. Only in DaS3 the hitboxes are so good, you can simply position yourself right so the attacks don't connect.

What are our chances that we'll see a decent bow a la Milwood Greatbow that has decent read: better than D/D 300 AR w/ arrow (40/40) or B/D 280 AR w/ arrow (10/60) that is still capable of running/rolling/backstepping snapshots?

It could have some sort of wonky tradeoff, like weight, or maybe it costs two arrows but only fires one. I've done an almost bow-only run that turned into a aragorn cospaly combining 2h greatsword and it was extremely good fun, but bows just don't do enough damage. I was hoping for at least 25-30% higher AR. I can generally hit around 180ish on most bosses with an arrow, and around 100 using a snapshot at 20/40 with the composite bow.

Bows won't even be as good in PvP as they were in DaS2, but it'd be extremely nice if they were made a little more viable in PvE by giving them a bit more damage.

ive been playing sotfs for about 200 hours now.

From what I understand and what I've been speculating, there must have originally been 3 DLC just like DaS2, but Miyazaki saw the opportunity to pull a ToH for Dark Souls 3.

It's a very strong likelihood that this second, and last DLC, will be as large or possibly larger than ToH, given the extreme quality of Ashes of Ariandel, despite how little content there was, compared to other DLCs.

>What's the point of that?

because i was talking specifically about how most of the time blues are shit and die soon after entering a world, basically just existing to give invaders 2 estus recharges, and for some reason you keep returning to the twink thing over and over again. if i were to go along with you i could say blues could twink just as much as any red can, they are effectively equal (except blues often get to join in as part of a gank team and have no friendly fire), there's nothing stopping them from being just as skilled at the game as i am... yet 99% of the time they're garbage. part of my laughs at them, and part of me feels pity for them.

mostly though just drop the twink complaining, webms are short and you didn't see the host's full gank squad I dealt with earlier in that invasion.

Using cheat engine to skip grinding is fine by me. It's like spawning a bunch of items via console in other games.
I've actually never used it myself in DaS3 because I'm afraid of b&, but I don't get what the big deal is.
Some people just don't like to waste their time grinding just to make a new pvp char, and I totally get that. Because I have 600 hours in the game and have played it a thousand times, and the thought of booting it up just to play through the SP content again is enough to make me seriously consider suicide.

I love Jolly Co-Op and often grab a phantom or two for bosses so always make sure I repay in kind by leaving my sign out for a few goes on the boss afterwards.

Sometimes though, I get summoned but never get the "critical battle" message and am unable to cross the white fog gate. I'm just stuck outside. I can swing through and occasionally hit stuff that gets close to the door and can heal/buff the host if they're near the door and will get credit if they win.

What causes this and how can I avoid it? I feel like a right cunt for being summoned and standing outside the door holding my dick.

DS2 invasions are common as long as you stick to active pvp areas and pop a token of spite.

Given how many people are running around with 99 humanity and 99 tokens it's not hard to find players if you stick to the areas with red borders from the bonfire screen, which indicate where a large number of human or invader players are for your SM.

>how am I supposed to fucking equip myself so early in my run? what am I supposed to do in PvP?
Literally any katana, or any curved sword or a simple rapier are high tier in PvP. You don't want to infuse them, any smart person has elemental defences. You might want to stick by belltowers for a bit to get at least one weapon to +10, or farm hands near Rotten. Though you also need to get robflynn, which is a bit trickier, it would be a good idea to go Rotten and speedrun to flynn's.

Poison is bad in PvP. It forces aggressive playstyle, and we all know that aggressive is shit in souls PvP. And even with something like sanctum rat poison BSS it's incredibly hard to proc poison, with a simple poison estoc it's pretty much impossible.
And dex scaling is only shit for quality weapon, not for dedicated dex weapons.

That's because DaS2 was not to be taken seriously. Taking on knight cosplayers in bikini armor and winning almost always triggered thhem. Which was pretty funny.

Poison Manslayer and Warped Sword 4-hit spin causes instant poison with 1 attack. You don't have to be aggressive if you just throw poison knives. Ricard's Rapier will do auto-poison if you get most of the R2 hits.

Str weapons with >109 (70%) damage gained from 50 str, and with str always worth leveling up over dex:
>50 dedicated strength weapons

Dex weapons with >109 (70%) damage gained from 50 dex, and with dex always worth leveling up over strength:
>7 dedicated dex weapons

>Ricard's Rapier
>Bewitched Alonne Sword
>Blacksteel Katana
>Chaos Blade
>Eleum Loyce
>Loyce Greatsword
Puzzling Stone Sword


Every other weapon outside of those 7 gain more from strength, Sacred Oath, or infusion. But Strength has 50 weapons where physical scaling is still the best way to increase damage.

Not using those 7 weapons? It's not worth being a dedicated dex build, except in the case of poison.

Also:
Average scaling of the 7 best scaling dex weapons:93%
Average scaling of the 7 best scaling str weapons: 113%

Dex scaling is fine for "dedicated dex weapons" but there are only a few of them in the game, most of which are in the DLC. There's also strength versions of almost every dex weapon that does more damage and scales better.

To do dex you have to do buffed+infused or poison. Otherwise it's always better to just pump points into faith for sacred oath.

I killed Wolnir and the worm and demon king in the lake, but I seem to be largely unable to get father in. It's like there was a difficult increase in the Demon Ruins and Boreal Valley that crossed my skill/gear threshold.

So when I played DS1 and Ds2 it was the PtD and SotF editions.
playing DS3 the camera with lock on is terrible. so many times it has me looking close up at a pile of rocks or where the wall meets the floor.

So my question is this a kink that gets worked out, was this a problem in DS1 and 2 vanilla? Or is DS3's camera just fucked? or a problem caused by faster combat?

I have no idea what you're talking about, I've never had the camera behave like that in DS3.

There have been very few situations for me across all 3 Souls games where the camera was ever a hindrance.

I usually don't know why people have issues, if it's because they're trying to fight the camera or what.

or anyone that doesn't find attacking someone twice (with 500 year delay between swings that only reach 3 feet) and then having to roll away because you're out of stamina and the grunt enemy has entered hyper armor because they're going to attack in the next 5 seconds very satisfying combat

>>
>>165460550
ds2 can't even get the basics right

small titanite is relatively hard to come by for most of the game (yet you can and probably will upgrade more because of power stance, upgradable spell items and your stats having less of an effect on your damage vs ds1) while large titanite is unlimited stock from the most important smith in the game and found in a early game area.

In a game that invented garbage mechanics like soul memory to defeat twinks, in what universe does it make sense to have it so that upgrading weapons at all is difficult but if you make it past the early steps you can easily make heavily powered up weapons very early on.

This is the sort of design philosophy in ds2, just absolutely no thought put into it. The game is satisfying in the same way any dungeon crawler is inherently satisfying and I guess the pvp is "more balanced" because instead of fights ending in one backstab it's two haveljesters mashing inputs to try and glitch out so their attacks have no warning, but to say it's a genuinely good game (again, this is different from one you enjoyed) let alone a good sequel to the previous souls games is simply wrong and always will be.

Agility fucked up DS2 the most. Basically, they were forced to balance the entire game with agility in mind, which turned moveset of most bosses and enemies into such a pathetic, telegraphed shit you can literally walk around them and attack their blind spot while they are still in attack animation. Did a full new playthrough of DS2 a month ago and had an immense amount of keks when i understood that Pursuer can't do shit with you if you just keep walking or running to his side.

hug right wall -> quit reload

hug left wall -> jump over the gap that opens up -> quit reload

walk forward slowly with a 100% shield to bait out the swipes -> run like mad and jump in the whole -> bait out another attack -> victory

honestly even without the quit trick I like this boss, having a one off gimmick like this is better than just "lets have a dozen bosses that are just big man with weapon" or "big guy that you kill by standing under it's nuts and stabbing upwards while he whiffs everything"

god that backflip guard animation is so fucking

S M O O T H
>>
>>165461273
For example just the general speed of certain animations like turning and walking just feel off next to the other games. I would describe it as floaty, your character's movements don't really line up with movement speeds, you can see your feet sliding around pretty noticeably, that sort of stuff is alot more precise and on point in DS1/3

Things like missing sheaths for weapons, the Claymore for example doesn't animate quite like the previous games and just doesn't even sit on your shoulder, it sits pretty far above it.

My other big gripe with the game is the fucked lighting and how lighting doesn't affect your character's face/body but it affects your armor, so you look like a nightlight if you're naked in a dark area, weirdly enough if you use a Torch then everything suddenly becomes lit correctly and using the Torch CREATES a need for the torch, which is pretty fucking stupid, I did have a comparison of it somewhere.

There are things DS2 does that are fine, I do like some of the areas or at least the "look" they were going for, the lack of connectivity and the extreme cases of impossible space and poor level planning in DS2 next to 1 or even 3 is just kind of a bummer.

DS2 is a Souls game made by people who were a fan of Dark Souls 1 but didn't understand the finer details in overall design as to why it's good.

I honestly I pin it down to DS2 using a different engine than 1 or 3 since Bloodborne and DS3 feel like evolutions of DS1's Engine and software but 2 is like this weird different thing.

Early E3 Footage of DS2 looks straight up like a Beta version of DS3, it's kind of crazy how much less it ended up being, people were upset about No Man's Sky lying but DS2 felt like a bigger betrayal of expectations to me.

Because they want you to upgrade weapons early. They just don't want you to upgrade -a large number- of weapons early. You can have a +10 weapon before Pursuer, but you can't upgrade 10 weapons to +3.

It makes a lot of sense why they made choices like that, but they almost never translate into a better experience. Almost all of DS2's changes from DS1 are under the surface game mechanics, with almost no attention paid to refining the player experience.

It's like DS2 is an expensive, complicated meal, but is completely flavorless because all the complicated steps never worked well with each other. And DS1 is a cheap, rushed sandwich that keeps falling apart, but tastes great because the parts make more sense to go together.

I think DS2 was a decent survival RPG that got gutted and turned into a half-assed souls game, when no one at From wanted to actually make a souls sequel in the first place, but they were still under Bandai's contract.
>>
>>165461886
Poison and bleed infusions do 3 things:
>Lower base damage
>Lower scaling
>Add a status effect

If you want to say that they're physical infusions because they don't completely negate the physical damage of whatever weapon they're put on then go ahead but AFAIK there's not a single infusion that completely negates physical damage on anything so that also seems like poor criteria.

I think it's because No Man's Sky was claiming to do things that no prior game had ever done before technologically, and the final game -looked- like the demo but was simply missing massive parts of promised content.

DS2's demo was just an entirely different game that shared some 3D character models and items.

>Every other weapon outside of those 7 gain more from strength, Sacred Oath, or infusion.

>Sacred Oath
You need to get 50 fai so it won't run out AND THEN at least 20 ATT or 10 ATT and a ring slot for a buff that can be spite kited. I suppose if you're super MLG you can get 10 att and ring swap, then attune spell after every battle. And then you can't get flame weapon or flesh sweat for buffs that don't deflate your SM. 40 or even 50 dex is a much lesser investment, especially considering that bandit exists.

I really don't get people that get hit by throwing knives. Maybe if you outspace them, but you won't be able to build up poison like that.

Yes, and you don't even need to infuse it, just item buff. Still, even if you can hit with that attack, which is nigh impossible against passive opponent, it's broken. Last hit does not connect. Opponent can just roll through it, punish hitting him with backstab and use moss
