Oh, you're playing DaS1, not DaS3.

Okay, then it's a whole different story. The PVP in the two games is completely different.

>>167823236
I feel weird playing 1 after 2.

>>167823209
i've played dragons dogma and come to think of it dark souls 2 is just dragons dogma if dragons dogma took out all the good mechanics and made the game a big plate of specialty dogshit with a side of fuck you

as for the other two, I'll never play them because I don't have five hundred and ninety nine US dollars to spend on a ps4

>>167823236
Weirdly enough I've always found that 1 feels the worst to go back to, 2 feels better to go to from 1 and 3 feels better than both in almost all regards.

>>167823390
I don't really know why people compare Dragon's Dogma to the souls series. They really don't have anything in common. Dragon's Dogma is pretty vacant of story but has decent Dungeons and Dragons feel when it comes to mechanics and enemies (only better since D&D often doesn't reward things like climbing on enemies and attacking weak spots unless your DM is good).

I have what I'm pretty sure is a retard question here, but how do I predict and dodge this giant's attack in the cathedral in DS3?

If you're at his feet, pretty much the only thing that can probably hit you is his stomps, so you'll see those coming.

If you're fighting the first one from the ledge, either stop doing it and wait until you can go for the feet or just watch the huge telegraph of his arms.

Would someone be willing to gift me a Valorheart on PS4?

More than willing to reciprocate if I can.

Yup, that's Nito's boss room. Looks like you dealt with those Pinwheels just fine though, they're not that hard to kill. Those dead babies are also good humanity farms, and if I remember right they also respawn indefinitely.

For reference, hard leather set puts me over, but by less than any other overweight set. But that's with havel's ring, and I kinda doubt havel's ring is worth it. Currently have 18.2 spare equipload.

>>167823638

>>167823586
Yeah but his arms just sweep across and hit everything. I'm sure I'm just being a tard but I'm missing something here. Also yeah I'm up top.

>>167823638
Yup. Except that they stack, so you can put on both at the same time for the attunement slots. They become hot trash once you get Darkmoon Ring though.

>>167823638
and darkmoon ring does twice as much

God damn theres a big motherfucker in the Cathedral. I raised the bridges (cages?) and explored the rooftops, not quite sure where to go now. Died and had to start right back at the chapel. Even with the shortcut, I was far into this damn level. Getting annoying now.

My bad, I suck at spelling but yeah that's what I meant.

The only major thing they have in common is being heavily inspired by western fantasy for aesthetics. Anything is just that retarded chestnut of people saying every action rpg is somehow like a souls game or trying to be a souls game.

>>167823957
You need to get to the main altar past one of the sleeping giants guarding a set of stairs leading to it. And there's a room you can only access by dropping from the rafters accessed by the cathedral roof.

>>167823867
You pretty much have to abuse invincibility frames like crazy and hit his arms with rolling attacks.

You shouldn't even try to kill him there if you're not going back through the area in NG+ or something, it's just not worth it.

>>167823959
far more so than your meme post certainly.

The dungeon DLC ripped a lot of monsters straight from D&D books, more so than usual. I think they sort of came out around the same time, maybe it's why people make the comparison? That and mimic chests but both of those are just D&D things.

I'm an asshole, but I'm not wrong. My only issue with dragons dogma is that you have to mod it to have more than one character despite the game having so many classes. Maybe I missed the tutorial in Dogshit Souls 2, but does it even bother to mention Soul Memory? It's whatever, these games will always be fucking trash because From cannot balance worth shit. Guess I'll have to wait to enjoy Bloodborne in 6 years when PS4s are $5. Fuck these games.

It's dark souls 1, just get pursuers + dark bead and a scythe and enjoy never dying again. Or poison arrows.

Why do all the old armor sets from previous games look like complete trash in 3?

Wolf Knight, EK set, Faraam, etc. Look like complete trash in 3.

>>167824385
They don't conform to player's model right. Aalva is probably the worst offender. They're all sized like the player is Large or so.

>>167824479
In DS1 it not only made more player messages appear, but also revealed some more dev messages that would otherwise be hidden

>>167824223
You are wrong. Your post was "le artificial difficulty xD". The same joke argument can be made against basically every game, Dragon's Dogma included. The games and their gameplay aren't similar and it's very silly to pretend they are.

Dragon's Dogma also did horrific in the story and character side of things. Its best left as a dungeon crawler game. Only the Dragon and the goth cult leader who gets killed had character. Other than that it's forced romance that catches you by surprise that you get locked into. Really great having to rescue a Princess to continue the game who accuses you of sneaking into her chambers to rape her and going "lol sorry for lying and getting you tortured" afterwards.

>>167824479
It allows you to see more orange signs, particularly hidden developer placed ones that you normally would never come across.

It really is the models isnt it, The sets themselves arent THAT bad whats horrible about them is how they just dont look like they fit right. When i wear Alva i feel like i should have make my character as skinny as possible because even with a medium torso and build it looks way to fucking big for my body.
WF looked decent in DS1 and EK was amazing in 1 but it just seems off now

>>167824068
Up there on the room arches that cross the main area but each side seems to be a dead end. The side areas that are accessible through the wall just have some items and drop down to the earliest parts of the level.

>>167823390

Also, your taste is dogshit and you're a raging baddie

>>167824357
Im not doing 32 int for pursuers but does homing soulmass work. 3 more in levels isnt too bad

>>167824751
It's mostly because the player model rig is ripped straight from BB and 90% of the armor from that game is flowing long coats with no DS style armor to be seen.

Not that it wouldn't have been fixable, but it's very clear that overall DaS3 is a rushed game that lacks that sort of polish entirely.

>>167824969
It's actually just DS1's rig

BB's character rig was lankier and differently proportioned, and also made some neat use of stretch and squash (mainly for the visceral animation)

>>167823390

Is it just me or did this patch seriously buff NPC AI?

Started a new character and Sword Master was much more on-the-ball about punishing SS R1s, the butcher knife chick was much more aggressive about using weapon arts and exploiting poise frames, and Heysel was a Maldron-tier shitter in Farron Keep by chilling in the middle of the fatroll swamp surrounded by mobs. Is From just fucking with us now?

>>167824592
No, you simpleton. In Dark Souls, you lose 10 souls, you lose 10 souls. In DAS2, you lose 10 souls, you lose 10 souls and now in PVP you're fighting people who didn't lose those 10 souls and used them to level up, giving them an (((unfair))) advantage, assuming you didn't understand the mechanic in it's entirety on a blind play through of a game where a blind play through is normally a rewarding experience full of trial and error which usually does NOT result in your character being null and fucking void. Don't you dare defend that dogshit mechanic by proxy with your attacks you sacrilegious faggot. Dark souls 2 is dogshit, plain and fucking simple.

I don't know why you think that I believe dark souls = dragons dogma, also I think you can skip the princess rescue quest and she ends up dying. You could also just ignore the first encounter and forget she ever existed, the game will then just pick the last person you talked to for the dragon fight.

>>167825258
I doubt it but I sure did also get my shit pushed in at first against sword master when I started out fresh again yesterday after the patch. I figured it was because It had been so long since I played a new character and just got super sloppy.

>>167824950
Kinda, it's a lot faster than pursuers if I remember right, but an unprepared fatty isn't going to be able to dodge dark bead AND pursuers. I forgot what the technique was called but you can get attack without locking on and it can get around their shield, or just use a lightning shotel/scythe/bleed weapon.

>Kill the last boss of DLC 2

Search it in your hearts, for you know it to be true

are longswords (still) the best for cheesing the game? i havent played in a long time and just want to breeze through. i remember pyro only getting gud until like half way through the game and even then melee with a straightsword was better

>>167825653
I'll be perfectly happy with that if I think it looks good.

>>167825658
Straight swords will never not be excellent in Souls. They're basically the most reliable weapons. There aren't any situations they're straight-up BAD in.

You only have to find the banging sound, and do the DLC now, right?

The banging sound can be found in the Catacombs by exploring around the level of the second bonfire (the one with the spike statues in the way), and then going indoors and finding a spiral staircase that goes down.

As for the DLC, if you have the Broken Pendant (which you get from killing a blue golem in the Duke's Archives), you can go back to where you found an out-of-place gold golem after killing a boss, and explore there.

If you're still wondering about the white ring it's a way of white effect that activates when someone uses a miracle. If you just so happen to have the same miracle equipped it will become more powerful when you stand by the ring. Dark souls 1 had a lot of weird, cool mechanics that go completely unexplained.

OwO what's this?!

>>167829380
I played DS1 hollow and went offline to go human and summon NPCs. First area I walked into that allowed invasions resulted in an SL1 twink invasion.

DS2 created the abomination of Soul Memory to try and deal with that but just made things worse for everyone.

>>167829564
the same thing that's been posted since yesterday?

where will the final DLC be accessed from? Kiln?

>>167829629

Hodrick is my waifu.

>>167829543
>>167829612
it's a shame too because I really would like to delve more into the covenants, but the fact that invasions can be so horrendously unbalanced (lag issues aside) just completely ruins the experience.

>>167829671
Nah, we've been instead saying LMAO2BAT

>>167829823
If you have a reliable friend to summon it might work out okay. I think things were better when the game was new and the population was higher.

Same thing will happen with DS3 to an extent. DS2 already has problems with arenas being the same group of assholes from what I get.

Instead of dodging or rolling you have to slowly jump or just kinda walk away from whatever is attacking you

Its literally confirmed to be the first boss of the DLC

>>167823236
Why is Priscilla so angry?

>>167830317

>>167830593
It doesn't, it only affects summon signs. Otherwise people would abuse it to grab their PW friends and not get invaded.

There is dodge rolling but only certain classes have it, all the yellow ones (Strider, Ranger, Magick Archer, Assassin) I think.

We never knew who was the last of the demons. The Old Demon King was just that. An Old Demon on his dead throne, that could barely fight.

This is the Prince that Lothric fought, and is the last of them all.

The bat buddy is obviously "him". His soul behaving just like the Watchers.

>>167833595

Which could very well mean he saw the Bed of Chaos himself -- considering there's demons throughout that area, leads you to believe that the Old King isn't the last actual demon.

It could suck if it's not right at the end, prior to linking/usurping or afterwards. If right at the end, you can assume that it's the last demon/s; ending the story of Chaos.

I doubt there'll be another demon fight. It appears that the DLC wants to end the various themes -- dragons, Chaos, Deep/Abyss.

Exactly. There's just not close to enough evidence to make that sort of assumption. I recognize the fact that I don't know something. That doesn't render me unable to show the flaws in other theories. Calling people autistic is not an argument.

But even then, that rip should have relatively close positions in the present and the past, namely close to the first bonfire where you're dropped off. How did Manus have access to that and why didn't he get the pendant from you?

No nose, no problem

So I loved Dark Souls 2 and I want to try the third, but I've been told there was less weapons in that game (like, no greatlances, no whips, etc...).
Is that true? And is Dark Souls 3 harder than the second?

>Smelter attacks twice as fast
>AoE damage iis scaled to 1% HP every 5 seconds, takes most of the arena
>phase 2 is blue smelter joining in
>phase 3 is them merging DBZ style

Are there any audio uploads of NPC dialog anywhere? Or just the youtube compilations?

>>167835108
There is a greatlance in the game, but it's just in with the spear weapon class rather than its own thing and there are several whips. Stuff like twinblades don't exist at all and there is no powerstancing.

Overall there is less weapon variety, with maybe a bit more variation in some movesets.

Overall I'd say it's a harder game, at least when it comes to a lot of the bossfights.

>>167823116
3 is nothing like 2, in fact 3 acts as if 2 just doesn't exist. It's more a weird bastard mix of BB and the OG DaS.

It's not completely true. Parts of 2 existed but 3 mocks it by the most part and ignores all the most fanfiction-heavy bits.

>>167835108
DS3 has way more well-designed enemies/bosses and more limited healing options than 2, but on the other hand it doesn't go out of its own way to throw shitloads of enemies at you. If you ask me it's harder, but in the right way as your death never feel as cheap as from being ganked by 20 enemies all triggering at once like it was in DS2.

>>167835374
His entire argument was that Seathe couldn't be the father because he lacks scales and you now use her having scales as an argument. Are you soft in the head?

>>167835269
Well, that's a bit disappointing, I like exotic weapons and I'm not really happy at the idea that I'll have to use a sword+shield combo. But I doubt anything can top Dark Souls 2, especially in my case.

Also, the groups in 3 can all be aggroed individually, unlike 2.

keep in mind you need carthus milkring or hunters ring to have enough dex to use the onyx blade.

I plan on changing to full dark pyromancy later on but I haven't unlocked karla yet.

>well-designed enemies/bosses
Care to give me an example? I actually like Dark Souls 2's bosses, but everything in the third looks fucking fast. And the new ragdolls kinda bother me.

>>167835517
That reminds me of a Thief fanmap where you're followed by dummies.

>>167835514
Yes, DS3 is quite hard. Compared to 1 and 2 where i almost never die during my entire playthroughs (except for retarded platforming in DS1 but it's a different story) typical DS3 playthrough kills me more times, especially when Irithyll, the first major difficulty curve jump, kicks in.

>>167835517
don't worry man, those are definitely not watching you. how could they be watching you, they are inanimate objects, haha. just relax and do whatever you undead fellows do at bonfires, nothing to worry about, haha.

>>167835580
All individual DS2 enemies are hilariously weak by themselves. They have slow, insanely telegraphed movesets and just feel overall generic, never standing a chance against you if they are alone or in small groups.

Majority of harder encounters in DS3 are against single enemies, or at best 2-3 at the time. Facerape ghrus have weird as fuck grappling moveset for example, and if they grapple you they literally rape your face, self-buffing in a process and becoming even harder. A group of 2-3 Lothric Knights is more terrifying than any humanoid enemy gank in 2 because they are insanely aggressive, punish you for circling around them and have weapon arts designed specifically to get in your face. They become even harder if there's a healer supporting them.

DS3 also has the hardest dogs in history of entire franchise.

Get used to those fuckers cause you're gonna be fighting them and the scarecrows until you reach the next boss.

>>167835514
Groups of enemies meme is dumb because literally every game did this yet it's only ever attributed to DS2 as a negative thing.

I don't remember even one place where you need to fight with more than 2 mobs at once
