>>165463018
I generally agree with the rest of what you said, but they obviously want you to upgrade a large number of weapons early (or they just literally gave no part of this game any though at all) since the game so obviously expects you to at bare minimum upgrade two things (shield/second weapon/cast item + main weapon) and it also locks good weapons behind progress a lot more than DS1 did where you could get weapons of almost any type that can carry you through the whole game if you know where to look (which means that you'll upgrade stuff you don't really care about just to keep up because upgrading your weapon matters a lot more to your overall damage in a game where many fights are DPS races to take down multiple enemies before you get swarmed)

that last paragraph wasn't ment to be so long, it's just that with ds2 when you talk about one issue you end up talking about half a dozen other fucks that are either directly related to that first issue or make it even worse

>Every other weapon outside of those 7 gain more from strength, Sacred Oath, or infusion.
>infusion
Enjoy elemental defences.
>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, since bandit exists.
>Poison Manslayer and Warped Sword 4-hit spin causes instant poison with 1 attack.
Also spotted whip can riposte for instant poison. Still, poison infused estoc is a terrible weapon. And those two might not be able to proc depending on opponent's gear.
>just throw poison knives.
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.
>Ricard's Rapier will do auto-poison if you get most of the R2 hits.
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

>>165463386

>>165463483
They give you enough titanite so that if you upgrade an extra weapon you have to basically not upgrade one of your armor pieces. I think there's ~30 titanite shards in early game or so if you include Leningrast and Chloanne. 10 if you don't purchase any (keeping your SM low).

So until you get past the Old Iron King, you are restricted to only ~5 upgrades to +6. Then unlimited afterward.

Yhorm's is pretty good as a left-handed weapon with something like a straightsword on the right. By itself, it gets rekt like all other great weapons.

>>165465409
Yeah, the arena and phase 2 are almost a shame. The fight itself is the best in DS3.

>>165465908
I like the bridge and the increased risk of falling off as more railings are destroyed is cool, though I wish the big dumb fountain in the middle wasn't in the way. The Pilgrim Butterflies are just about bearable - it would be better if they only used the laser attack though instead of that annoying fire rain.

This is my real pick

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbHtRggFsNA
Tarkus for best NPC

>>165469753
Use a different curved sword.

Falchion's innate bleed means it gains less from infusion+buffing than other weapons, so the only worthwhile infusion is pure bleed. Except bleed is really weak. What that ends up doing is just giving you a weaker curved sword even when you put all your stats into dex.

If you want to maximize the moveset, use the scmitar buffed+infused, or Red Rust Sword with strength. Both have same movesets but superior stats. Scimitar has 20 less base AR but doesn't have a bleed penalty for buffing+infusing, RRS has higher AR and strength scaling.

If you want to maximize dex, use Warped Sword or a Katana.

>>165469753
Well, either infuse it with lightning and buff with flame weapon or robflynn it with 40 dex. Better yet, get 2 +10 falchions and switch between them depending on your opponent or mobs that you're fighting with.

>>165468504
This is believable.

I keep getting told that arena range is the same as invasion range. How the fuck is that possible? How does it pick which players the host and which players the invader? There are people I can invade whom's invasion range I'm below. A level 6 can invade up to level 26, but a level 26 can't invade down to level 6. Does that mean they can meet in the arena? Does that mean they can't?

Is the Heavy Crossbow worth farming for? The Arbalest looks like it's better in every way except for a bit more weight.

>>165478163
invaders have friendly fire, better to divide people up

Also, if you kill a phantom as an invader, don't all the invaders get a flask for it? Is it just you? I never have ally reds. Well, good ones anyway.

Say that you're really tight on the weight budget but want to fit a strong crossbow in. Heavy Crossbow is only slightly weaker and lighter to give a good fit for such builds. Plus it's among the coolest looking ranged weapons in the game.

If you want to farm it then

You only need enough for 2h requirement. But millwood bow is really good at dishing out damage, if not the only greatbow worth it's slow drawbacks.

Is this bandai namco viral shilling or what the fuck

I 100%'d the fuck out of the DLC on an under-leveled melee only character in just over 3 hours, the last 50 minutes at LEAST were solely trying to do Friede with 8 nowhere near maxed estus.

It is not a six hour DLC. It simply isn't. If you walked to every location and had the average player's skill level and character, you'd be done in 3 and a half hours tops.

It is 2 bosses. It is one ring. One of the bosses is a remodeled DS2 boss that was already criticized for being unoriginal, and the other is a a Bloodborne knockoff at best that only the type of nigger who'd defend SoC would even attempt to make a case for. The trailer acted like there'd be all this shit with the royal bloodline, but instead it was just trailer filler. The trailer acted like there'd be Aldia shit in the trailer, but instead it was just more "DS2 completely didn't happen" levels of From fuckery.

This is the last Dark Souls game, not because the story ends here, but because From took Dark Souls out to the back and beat the game and everything any Souls fan liked the fuck to death.

Or do the Heide Greatlance, which you should have by now. It's fuckin' fantastic for PvE.

It won't ruin the game because most of the areas you can access with it have very, very hard enemies, and a lot of the important doors still require other keys.

Thief comes with master key already, FYI, so if you pick that class you can go with a second gift.

A veritable maelstrom of vengeance is upon thy gates, thou wretched worm, which surely shall obliterate thy loathsome pretension of life. Truly, thou art foregone, child. I move as swift as the wind, and with mine own two hands I may at my pleasure slay thee in any of thirty and five score modes. For verily as I am a master in the pugilistic arts, even so doth the manifold armory of the Royal Guard lie at my beck and call, which in its plenitude of power I shall not delay to unleash upon thee, that thy fœtid flesh may no longer pollute this land with its presence, thou pitiful putrescence. Would that thou couldst have foreseen what great wrath thou hast by thy "brazen" jocosity summoned upon thyself! Perhaps thou wouldst have rather kept shut thy filth-spewing mouth. But neither couldst thou thus foresee, nor didst thou take heed of prudence, and thou art now reaping what thou hast sown, thou accursèd simpleton. I will excrete rage all round about thee, wherein shalt thou be consumed. Thou hast shuffled off this mortal coil, urchin.

Bloodborne is not a Souls game so it's not a part of the series.
Bloodborne is fucking awesome tho' and it's definitely the most finished game of the franchise but it suffers from some issues like the game length is a factor, my first char cleared the base game in 30 hours and I took my fucking time exploring.

Additionally while I think that I generally enjoy doing the "fast" playstyle in Souls, I like variety and even DS3 supporter playstyles that have armor / protection.

BB is fucking slick, has great level design, attention to detail, good but not bullshit challenge, good and consistent world design, the npc fights are the best of soulsborne and the weapons are done with great care for the most part.

The setting is incredibly atmospheric and I love the fact that it puts you in the role of a professional, a beast hunter, and then really makes use of that premise while giving you not only setting-appropriate shit like your own little workshop where you can tinker with your weapons and store shit but also the challenge level where you feel like actually using that shit.

But it's kinda dragged down by the shit online and the comparatively short length of the main game and the comparative lack of gameplay diversity you have in Souls. Still, I'll never stop playing that game god damn.

They cut a whole bunch of shit from DS3 it seems like, a lot of cut items indicate perhaps a different role for stuff. Propaned Capital also seemed really fucking short of a level and I suspect there was going to be more on that.

If you look at some pre-release screenshots you can see shit like Index Gundyr in Oceiros' bossfight room and the description of the cut Wolnir boss chalice and the Catacombs and Smoldering lake made me think that DS3 was supposed to have it's own version of the Chalice dungeons.

Stormruler was originally going to be used against the Curse-Rotted Greatwood, not Yhorm.
Gundyr was originally going to be one big Old King Doran reference. This is also why there are Pus Of Man enemies in the Consumed King'd Garden, because Gundyr is one too.
Wolnir was originally in Yhorm's current bossroom and didn't just teleport you into a cave.

There's a cut content page and the fact you didn't bother to check it out and compare it to the amount of unfinished shit in pre-BB souls games is pretty sad.
DS1 was shafted into oblivion. It's not just bosses shuffled around or one or two sets only existing in files, it's entire questlines and bosses removed and unfinished alternative paths leading into nowhere on top of obviously unfinished areas. Even worse with DS2 as there's a myriad of cut content. Nothing cut from both BB and DS3 is even close to that.

Ultra great weapons are still shit though

You can roll away from anything slower than a dagger on reaction, literally the only way to actually land an attack with an ultra great weapon is to trade hits

At least with greatswords they swing ever so slightly slower than straight swords so you can attack normally AND trade if necessary, otherwise you NEED to take damage if you wanna deal damage.

I miss DS2 when you could actually punish roll spammers and make them run out of stamina.

Removing ADP was a mistake

how do you sprint on pc?

So I beat DS1 last night and immediately started DS2. It was kinda late and I had work this morning so I barely played at all past character creation, but DS2 feels really different and I wasn't able to put a finger on what it was. I felt like a retard swinging my mace at those rats though and they kicked my ass. WTF?

>quantity trumps quality

>>165500170

You literally can only move in 8 directions. Embarrassing game.

>>165500170
A few changes that DS2 made after DS1:

>weapons have longer wind-up phases, so you have to plan your attacks more
>poise is only active when attacking with heavy weapons, so you will -always- be staggered if you get hit except when you're heavily armored and spamming attacks
>Your stamina regenerates a lot slower and if you roll twice in a row, you lose a lot more stamina than rolling once, same for attacking twice in a row.
>There's delay in movement animations, so turning isn't "instant" but you have a bit of a delay when changing directions.
>Attacks cannot be aimed behind you or in other directions. Each individual move has it's own tracking limits. Overhand attacks tend to let you track very well (270-360 degrees) but stabbing attacks cannot be redirected easily (30 to 60 degrees).
>Your iframes for rolling and roll distance are separate from each other now, so if you have low weight you roll far but if you have bad agility, you will still take damage if you don't actually dodge the attack.

In general, it's a more slower style where you have to play half a second ahead of your actions. There's fewer "arcadey" elements like DS1 where you could change direction instantly and everyone ran /rolled at the same speed no matter what. This is what makes it feel so different.

Does turning 100% drop rate with cheat engine trigger any flags in DS3?

>>165500412
I already have DS3 as well but a lot of people here reject the DS2 hate and insist it's a good game, and one of my friends who generally has great taste in games actually says it's his favorite of the series. So I want to be sure to give it a fair shake before I skip it.
>>165500789
Is that what it is? Because that's fucking weak, man.

>>165500789
Only if you play with a keyboard.

You can -walk- in 8 directions.
You can -run or sprint- in 360 degrees.

They did that because people were complaining how the tight walkways in DS1 were too hard to track using a controller, so when you walk slowly in DS2 it restricts you to 8 directions so that you can stay in a straight line when you need to.

DLC 2 fucking WHEN

How long until the disastrous Dark Souls movie?

>the fact you didn't bother to check it out
I did check the wikis, the Sanadks vids and so on.

And you don't also get the fact that DS3 has been out for only half a year. It's not like the major DeS/DaS1 leaks of the cut content were immediately known. We don't yet know the full extent of what should've been for Dark Souls 3.

>entire questlines or bosses removed
Oh yeah, Shiva. And I don't know if Undead King Jar-Eel was a huge loss, that guy looked ridiculous.

And as far as Lost Izalith goes, it's the same quality as BB tried to pass off as being the real meat of the game.

>nothing cut from BB
WE DON'T KNOW YET IF THINGS WERE CUT FROM BB BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN DATAMINED YET.

>>165500170
Install a deadzone fix

It makes the game actually playable, though you'll probably still wanna play DaS1/3 regardless.

I'm going to be completely honest, I really wish I could enjoy 2 more than I do.
I've always felt like the customization and variety it gives you in making builds, choosing weapons/spells and deciding how to progress through the game is miles better than every other game in this series, and I wish they had kept that around.
But fuck, I just don't like going through the game. I've made 3 different characters, and the furthest I ever got is with one that's sitting at Nashandra in NG, with all the DLC finished save Cool Ranch Smelter and that infuriating level in the Ivory King.
I haven't played in a while though, so if there's a build or a different way to play that might help, I'd love to hear some advice. Like I said, I actually do want to enjoy the game.

And I know it's impossible to people to talk about this one without someone throwing a fit, so forgive me in advance.

Pre-patched DS2 had the sorcerers shooting soul arrows outside of your draw distance. You literally saw the flying magical sperm before you could even be close enough to see them.

Did he start off laughing like a retard at every death and saying "I deserve this" while praising the game and then lapse into violent verbal shitfits blaming everything from his console to his controller to the developers at the first skill-check box?

DS2 is a lower quality game than DS1. It has worse atmosphere and the bosses are pretty bad. If you're in it for the awe and level design and storytelling and imagery and atmosphere, it will disappoint. The DLC in DS2 is pretty good, but the rest of the game is sub-par. So don't get it in your head that it's got some hidden appeal that makes it 'completely better' than the others.

However, it DOES do some things that other games don't really appeal toward, so if you like certain things if these things are your favorites:
>it is the most stats and prep-heavy of the series. If you like exploring everything and getting all the items and tweaking all of your stats and optimizing freely with different weapon combos and playstyles, then it's genuinely the best in the series.

>It's the game that relies the least on reaction time. Being a naked twink spamming parries, rolls, and backstabs is going to get you fucked.

>It's the game where heavy ultra weapons and magic are both the most viable. It's also the only game with equivalent magic upgrade paths in terms of infusions and scaling.

>It's also the largest game, it has the most content and bosses and takes the longest to beat. It has the most spells and weapons and items to collect. It has the most NG+ content and changes.

>It's also the "least linear" in a sense that it is the easiest game to deviate from the 'intended path' without facing difficulty spikes. It's 5 linear paths (3 at start, 2 after first boss) that warp back to the central hub. Unlike DS1, the difficulty does not dramatically spike when you try out a new path. DS3 is much more linear overall. Both DS1 and DS3 have more shortcuts, DS2 just has more areas available to choose from.

And I'm sure than in 10 second some DS2 hatefag is going to come in and argue against all of these points, because some people think Sonic 06 is better than dark souls 2.

>>165502279
Heavy weapons are most viable in DeS, magic most viable in 1, assuming your opponent in 2 is smart enough to make a build to get the defenses and swap the rings, most aren't, of course, that's all of the hate for 2 I'll give you.

Hello /dsg/, can you help me out?

I played DS1 twice and loved it, just finished DS2, tought it was ok but overall disappointing. I'll buy a PS4 soon and i can't decide what should i play first between BB and DS3


I cared mostly about the environment, NPCs, lore, atmosphere and all that kind of stuff. I liked the gameplay (especially the estus and the way magic works). Also i don't give a shit about PVP and online play in general

Cool/challenging bosses are a plus of course

Thank you

>>165502172
I think the crow village in AoA was Miyazaki's response to people jerking off over Pornifex.

I bet like most people who played the game missed him and he's a ducking non-entity.

Maybe they'll have Aldia who's been chopped up into firewood or something.

>>165502279
I agree perfectly with this post.

>>165502172
>Ornifex
>A DS2 NPC
>Not completely unwritten from DS3 lore

Boy, it's like you haven't played the game.

>>165502836
Play DS3 first because compared to BB it's less challenging and the level design is a lot poorer.

Both games are atmospheric but BB just oozes atmosphere. But don't be a sap, play DS3 first.

>>165502279
I dunno, man, I liked DaS2's atmosphere just fine. It actually felt like you were wandering a country that had gone to hell, instead of picking through the corpse of a civilization that had died off centuries ago.

Of course, I may simply have shifted my expectations, since when I went into DaS1 blind I was expecting to actually be able to go into populated villages and shit, and instead it ended up just being one huge hostile area with a pocket or two of safe space. In that sense, Majula is one of my favorite places in all of the games.

>>165502836

Do you want Lord of the Rings or Lovecraft?

>>165492008
Not really. It will let you just take the path you want unhindered. Whether you actually want to go there depends on how bad you get your shit slapped. I picked master key my first playthrough and still went through the game the normal way cause I just picked what seemed like the right way to me at the time.

BB is better than DS3 in every single way. The only reason I'd ever tell you to play DS3 over BB is if you were interested in seeing a continuation of Souls lore, and even then I'd say stay far the fuck away from it unless you're a ptde babby looking to jerk off Artorias and Gwyn with both hands as they cumglaze you with lukewarm forced """nostalgia"""

>>165503196
>what's the first sin?
Gwyn artificially extending the Age of Fire and starting this cycle fuckfest, permanently damning humanity from their rightful throne.

>whats the first flame?
Non-intelligent God-like entity that shits out lifeforce fuel in the form of souls. Gwyn thought stuffing the shit back in would make it burn longer, and he was half right.

I just started playing and got the graveyard sword. I am a sorcerer and was told halberd sorcerer is the way to go. Is the graveyard sword worth it at all?

>>165502774
>magic most viable in 1, assuming your opponent in 2 is smart enough to make a build to get the defenses and swap the rings, most aren't, of course, that's all of the hate for 2 I'll give you.

I mean PvE only. PvP is a different story, yeah.

>>165502836
>don't give a shit about pvp
>care about lore, NPCs, atmosphere

DS2 isn't for you, don't worry about it. BB is probably a better choice, but if you play it first it will make DS3 feel disappointing. Do DS3 first, then BB.

>>165503196
The first sin was to link the fire and attempt to go against the flow of the world, and of time/the ages.
The first flame was what brought disparity into the world and spurred the end of the Age of Ancients.

Does that sound right?

>>165502836
BB has more obtuse online mechanics and is mostly dead outside coop now.
You'll like it more than 3 for sure, but only if you're interested into the setting, so I recommend you check that out before. 3's one is nothing new to you.
Magic in BB has only one way to be built sadly, since there's only one stat which gives you every single spell(with one exception) and it can use many weapons but by using it, you have a boring early and need to farm some items.
In 3, you have 3 different ways to built it, sorcery will feel exacly like it did in 1, with a few very resistant enemies, like trying to soul spear seath. Pyromancies will also feel very similar but your damaging spells are way faster. Miracles feel quite different if you don't use heals and you'd need to use them melee.
Estus in 3 is unchanged but way faster
BB's system is also very fast, but the heals scale of your max HP and you start with the maximum capacity. You need to find or buy more heals.
BB has a some very cool bosses locked behind some bad randomly generated content.

>>165503050
Have you forgotten about Laddersmith Gilligan? You find he's corpse in the Profaned Capital bonfire and you learn a gesture from it.
Area is full of ladders, which you couldn't proceed without.

>>165503129
I think that people are disappointed that the atmosphere was unique, but didn't feel as well-done. I like what DS2 is trying to do better than what DS1 was trying to do, but DS1 just -did it- so much better.

DS3 has more playstyle variety, better online and personally I like the roleplay potential across DS1/3 more than BB where your starting class matters jack shit for starting equipment and you also can't lore on different backgrounds in the character creator like you do in DS3.

Since you're on a roll with Dark Souls already, you may as well play 3 first and finish it.
Also, like others have said, playing BB first will just cause you to notice a lot of silly things in DS3.

>>165503987
Why not just recomend beating the first game, then beating 2 then the 2nd games DLC then go to the third game? Why make it fucking difficult. Hell he could even get the 2nd games season pass.
