Does anyone else remember people on here saying that the Bloodborne

/v/ is a Nintendo/PC board so people lied about / shitposted against Bloodborne. The truth is, /v/ is jealous that they can't play BB without giving Sony money. Now they shitpost it calling it "an inferior Dark Souls clone", when the Souls community's opinion on it can't be farther from that.

I'm not going to deny I'm jealous too; I wish I could play BB on PC. But, From has always been a Sony third party so it can't be helped. What a shame. That said, I will never shitpost a game I haven't played.

They didn't improve the hardware they just went into the graphics settings and lowered the games texture resolution/draw distance you fucking retard.

Of course you blind consoletards don't notice when playing

>>323566610
This is what asspained actually believes

>>323566610

>>323566610
So how did you "notice" this lie if you didnt play the fucking game?

>>323566610

>>323566409
I bought a Bloodborne Machine just to play it.

I don't regret it as there isn't any Xbone exclusives I was interested in so PS4 was my console while I mainly use PC.

IT'S NOT FAIR
no honestly being a pc user that loves these from games it fucking sucks not being able to play BB. I'm not about to buy a Bloodbornestation 4 to play it though

buttery smooth

So, as a matter of genuine curiosity, how much did they end up improving the load times, and have they publicly announced what they optimized?

>>323569397
I'm not sure by how much exactly, but it was a massive improvement

Before the update if you died you could go get a drink and come back to still see the load screen

>>323569090
You PC gamers don't deserve action games like BB or the other Souls games.
You only care about frames per second, graphics and "muh story, muh lore", not about games themselves.

>>323569397
I played unpatched version after getting the game this Christmas (thanks to PSN being slow as fuck making it unable to confirm the email) and the different is very noticeable. Dropped from like 40 seconds to 10. Still a bit long, but obviously qute a difference in comparison to what was before.

>>323569561
Come on man. No need to be rude like that.

He wasn't shitting on the game

>>323569397
Load times pre patch could be around 40 seconds longs. Now they are like 15-20.
They also added item descriptions on the screens so that helped. Before it was just a black screen that said Bloodborne.

I will tell you what pissed me off as a PCuck playing DaS.
The mouse is absolutely dogshit in panning camera view, and intercepting DXInput through say DSMousefix gets you softbanned.

I shouldn't have to waste so much time to remap buttons to a gaymin mouse in order to make the experience enjoyable, but lolnope. I still did it anyways.

In during I legitimately am playing DaS for the gameplay, not to 60fps1080p.

>a patch can't improve hardware
It can't you fucking retard

>>323569397
death reload times were significant - down to max 10 seconds. Before reloads could be a minute in central yarnahm.

Loading into central yarnahm still takes like 30 seconds, before it was a minute.

>>323570012
That gets you softbanned?

I use CE all the time for fun runs and custom bodies and still play online just fine.

>>323570012
Are you talking about Dark Souls 2/Dark Souls 2 apology edition? Because I have nearly 2000 hours in Dark Souls and can assure you that literally nothing you can do in PC Dark Souls will get you banned.

>>323570067
OP's point (stated in the most incendiary manner possible) was that improving the hardware wasn't the only way the developers could reduce load times.

>>323569090
This is the strangest mentallity to me.
I don't find it unfair that I couldn't play various PS3 games because I didn't have one. I didn't buy that system, how is it not fair that I don't get to play games made specifically for that system?

>>323570214
It's DaS2.
I am less angry about DaS overall. The menu may be shittier than DaS2, but FROM doesn't fuck with me like that. Original Dark Souls is the better game and I regret buying Dark Souls 2.

>>323569675
Things need to be said.
You can create the most boring and unfun game in the world; as long as it has high quality shadows, realistic looking pubes and runs at 666 frames per second, PC gamers will praise. Meanwhile a competent, fun to play game will be reviled because it was locked at 30 fps.

>>323570341
>how is it not fair that I don't get to play games made specifically for that system?
Because people feel entitled to literally anything they want.

Has Bloodborne overthrown Bayonetta 2 as the official shitpost game?

Crysis was the best benchmark program I've ever own. I am being serious on this one.

The Witcher series is an unfun borefest ("go, talk to NPC A; then go to the next town and talk to NPC B; depending to the dialog choice you should go to to this cave in the middle of nowhere and talk to NPC C or go back to NPC A's town so you can talk to NPC D") and it's one of the most praised PC games. Same with pseudogames like Gone Home or Telltalle's The Walking Dead.

That alone proves my point. PC gamers don't deserve, don't need and don't want "videogamey" games.

>>323566409
Same for all consoles idiot, next to no one is going to get every single console, add this up with a group of neckbeards and bam. A hate machine filled with jealousy and anger.

I'm going to get a PS4 when it's a bit cheaper, like next black Friday. With that adding up I've got every single handheld and console.

Yes, I've got too much cash and I still find some games too interesting / fun to pass on.

Can't argue with that "logic".

Opinion discarded, /v/ is massive and encompasses so many people that you legitimately wouldn't believe it, it is not a refuge for some group of fanboys.

Bloodborne got shat on because it was and still is the only notable current gen console game, and it was easy pickings for trolls. All they had to do was say something stupid regarding it and retards like you would flock to the threads, free replies. I'm sure the game is great but that doesn't matter to the kind of person who just wants to shit up /v/, they want replies and will do anything to get them.

PC gaymin beats consoles silly on games that simply cannot be played on a controller. That is something you refuse to consider as games. Titles such as Euro Truck simulators and Flight simulator X are examples of this.

On the flip side, there are shitheads like myself who love playing console games on PC because I don't like controller mapping (such as skyrim) and don't like to play it as a "videogame" since I mod it with animu bewbs (again Skyrim.) The other thing is that I am playing the shitty Neptunia on PC because I absolutely hate the Vita handheld "video game" experience.

I guess you are actually right, although I am not doing it for the 60fps1440p or 60fps4k.

Here's me reposting how pleb my taste is. Behold using the meme controller with Neptunia on fucking Win10.

>not having a PS4, an Xbone, and a gaming PC
Why haven't you killed yourself yet?

>>323571235
The development of DaS3 started before DaS2 was even planned as the game.
DaS3 was initially going to be the second game in the series, but then Miya was assigned to BB (before he became the president), the project was frozen and another project (Shibuya's version of DaS2) was initiated. Later, as we know, Shibuya fucked up and was scorned for making a game that's not souls and Yui was assigned to salvage as much as possible, but that's a whole another story.

Wii U has plenty, and the PS4 has a few others. Even the Xbone has some if you're into fightan games, racing, or Halo.

>>323572351
His ass, of course.
He's that desperate to believe that DaS3 (the one he can play) is going to be better than BB (the one he can't play).

Load times have been patched down significantly but the microstutter persists even to this day.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-bloodborne-performance-analysis

>Though its 30fps average is technically correct, Bloodborne often produces two unique frames followed by two duplicates - rather than one after another - creating a perception of frame-rate drops throughout. It's not smooth in motion at all as a result, and frame-time updates swing erratically between 16ms and 66ms - and sometimes higher.

It's good the game is faster paced than Dark Souls, because playing with this lag in that kind of combat would be infuriating.

It's going to suck, big big time. And I talk as someone who liked DaS2 almost as much as DaS.
The biggest red flag for me was how the game was announced out of the blue a few months before its official release, just like Fallout 4.

>>323572806
...BB was announced the exact same way retard

>>323572656
I don't think it will. DaS2 sucked due to very specific problems they had during development and I doubt it will happen again with 3.

>>323572806
>The biggest red flag for me was how the game was announced out of the blue a few months before its official release

The game has been in development since before Bloodborne. The overlapping development schedule with Bloodborne meant they had to promote Bloodborne first, wait until that was wrapped up, then talk about Dark Souls 3. It's just bad business to announce a better product while you're still trying to sell the old one.

>>323572656

>>323572923
No. Bloodborne was announced almost a year before release, and it had been under development since 2012.
Meanwhile Dark Souls 3 was announced six months before its release date, and given how they just finished two big titles (Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne and more recently the Old Hunters DLC), there is no way they didn't start DaS3's development around the time of the announcement.

Even if you liked all the games preceding it (Demon's, Dark 1 and 2, Bloodborne), it's safe to steer away from 3.

I'm just happy that the slant eyes are starting on a new IP so the Souls/BB autists will dwindle down to nothing soon.

>>323573773
It was stated in the interview that the development started around the time they were designing DLCs for DaS2.
The link is even in the fucking thread.
Of course, game directors can (and more often than not will) lie since PR is also a part of their job, but it's literally the only piece of information we have regarding DaS3 development.

BB was announced at E3 2014 and released that following March following a delay from February.
DaS3 was announced at E3 2015 and is slated for March-April release in Japan then everywhere else.

Stop being autistic and thinking development only started after BB was finished

To be fair, a patch can not improve hardware. It can, however, improve how that hardware accesses the game's data, which can result in faster load times.

Patches can't improve hardware but they can improve optimization.

>>323574114
Let's check:

Demon's Souls: started development in 2006, being released in February 2009. It had almost three years on development and it was a great game, establishing the foundations of the series.
Dark Souls's development started around March 2009 and was released in september 2011 - almost three years and while good and arguably better than Demon's it was still a rushed title.
Dark Souls 2's development started around December 2012, being released in March 2014. One year and a bit, the game was an absolute piece of shit.
Bloodborne's development started around August 2012, being released on March 2015. Almost three years of development, ended being the best game in the series.

So, DaS3 started development around July 2014. Release date - April 2016. That gives it less than two years. Far less time than its predecessors, and its developer was still busy with other projects (SOTFS, The Old Hunters).


There is no way Dark Souls 3 isn't going to be garbage.

its not like 300 bucks is a lot in 2016
jesus christ

if it was 599 AND we'd be in 2007/2008 then yeah, I'd understand the issue of it being an exclusive

You never asked yourself why dark souls 3 was ready so quickly after bloodborne did you, you actually thought that poor marketing strategy for ps4 would actually match actual souls games with substance, you faggots don't care about games, you just like sales numbers, flaunting exclusives you don't care about on forums and always playing the victim when you are widely know as the biggest cancer on the internet immediately after horse fuckers and furfags, you are the scourge of videogames, you are the faggots that treat corporations like religious establishments, you are the ones that worship people that do what they do just to take your money, you lick the hands of those that steal cash from you each month of the year that you think you can't live without ps plus, you are mindless drones, and for that I am sorry for you.

>>323566610
I noticed this too.
Game looked pretty different after I applied the patch, but it was worth not dealing with the loading time.

>>323569090
Just wait for Ps4 is ~200
or borrow/rent one or go make friends
it's a good game

>>323570496
Don't act like exclusivity isn't only used to sell system. It's wasted on PS4, only 7% of ps4 owners even have this game, and only 11% beat the first boss. It's exclusivity made it niche, and the only reason it remains so is to sell units. I do appreciate Sony for letting Miyazaki make another game though.

Beta wasn't for PC.
And it's capped for 30 for pc.
But I'm getting it for PC because someone somewhere will fix it again.

>>323576642

how is dark souls either of those things.

It plays better on PC. So unless you enjoy sub-par versions of things, you're a tard.

>>323574519

Are you kidding? It's going to follow the same cycle as everything does on 4chan. Day 1-2 will be extreme positivity, then when the bandwagon starts rolling everyone will turn on it and call it absolute shit, and will continue to do so till the next Fromsoft game comes out, when everyone will claim to have liked it all along and that the new one is shit in comparison.

Any tips for offline Rom? Her spiders are damage sponges and Rom keeps kicking my ass with her spells.

I mean 60 seconds to 45 seconds is an improvement, but it's still fucking atrocious, and no where near acceptable.

>>323577293
>Dark Souls 3 is basically Dark Souls 1.5

I fucking knew it.

>>323577353
Roll when you see her cast, keep an eye on her.
The spiders should die in one hit.
Boost HP if it's your first time.
Take care of babies first.
Hit as hard as you can, not it's head,.
Do optional areas if you want to levle beforehand, killing ROM locks you out of a lot of stuff. Do Ya Ghul (sp?) because it will change later.

>>323577456
I didn't even bother leveling up because of this shit. Two loading screens?fuck that

>>323577531
This is a good thing imo.

>>323577353
Dont attack the spiders

Find a opening where you can put a few hits on Rom in then back out and repeat.

>>323577353
I feel like blitzing is the best way to handle Rom. Remember you can still do damage while Rom is teleporting.

>>323577304
Pretty much yeah. The strength based class' trick to it, at least with the Axe it had was that it gave it a 20% buff to damage by using mana. Didn't seem to stack at all however. Music was great, Lotric felt and looked great, had your typical "Here is a Drake that lands and breathes fire guys", a Frost Knight that ran on all fours, and the boss moved with some grace, which was surprising considering it was a Dancer.

>>323577293
none of those say 30fps on PC.

Just 30fps confirmed for PS4 and Xbone.

>>323577749
Won't the spiders just gang up on me after a while, they'll keep growing in number and shit

Well, time to do your bets.

>The first game is regarded as a classic
>The second game is considered a huge disappointment and a step back compared to the first game.

The third game (Dark Souls 3) can go either:
>A. So good it arguably can be considered the best game in the series
The Devil May Cry / Metal Gear Solid path

or

>B. So bad it kills the series for good
The Bioshock Infinite / Dino Criss 3 path

Which one, /v/?

>>323578110
Killing the spiders is a waste of time. Only kill them if you absolutely have to. You're going to want to finish Rom off as fast as possible. Attacking spiders will just leave you open to more of her spells.

>>323575205

But a sequel is supposed to be an improvement, just like Bloodborne did. If we're going back to Dark Souls 1's graphically and gameplay-wise we aren't doing anything.
I think I'm going to avoid Dark Souls 3. Will replay Dark Souls 1 or even Dark Souls 2 again.

>>323578365

To be fair Denuvo is about to bring the age of piracy to its end.

>>323578457
It true, I was amazed that a tricked Kirk hammer could do it. Once she recovers she'll teleport again

>>323578110
You can sprint past the spiders without them ganging up on you, get your hits in, then sprint away and repeat.

Kill the spiders if you want, just make sure you side dodge the spells, they're easy to see coming.

>>323578457
Not him but you can.

>>323577353
If you just kill the little spiders each time, and then hit Rom, you only need to dodge extremely telegraphed spider attacks and slow moving magic. Just roll whenever magic is happening and you can't get hit. The fight only takes about 10 minutes and it's pretty much impossible to fuck up

>>323578489
I think you're right.
Dark Souls 3 is going to be so hilariously awful it's going to be great.

>>323578281
Alright, thanks for the tips anon. Happy Hunting

>>323578436
It has improvements, but it's also has more of the atmosphere and not impossible spacing/geography that was present in DaS2, along with a lot of the other broken stuff that made DaS2 actually annoying.

Think of it more like DaS3 is what DaS2 should have been, an improvement, but more of the same things that you love about the series.

There are anime moves for every weapon, to compensate for the lack of trick weapons.
What I'm actually worried about is that they might have abandoned the concept of powerstancing.
>>323577951
The 20% buff weapon art also has a knockback effect, sorta like Force.

>>323578746
Fuck that. I loved powerstancing cestus in Dark Souls 2. For some bizarre reason it was ridiculously effective against both players and NPC invaders

>>323578746
>The 20% buff weapon art also has a knockback effect, sorta like Force.

Did it? Things were dying so fast that I never paid much attention to it honestly, though I do sort of recall it from the Axe guys that take 3-4 hits, just assumed that was from the Axe itself though and not the buff.

They seem to have integrated the concept of powerstancing into some weapons like the Legion Scimitars which can split into two instead of 2handing. I dunno, there is too little information, we'll have to see for ourselves.
But fist weapons are probably safe. We're probably going to have something like the Bone Fist as well.

He only wants to play one exclusive game, Bloodborne, which is $20.
He can't justify buying an entire console for one game + pay for online.

If he did, it'd be a huge waste of money and that's disgraceful, you spent $450 for one video game?

You need to justify that huge money waste, and Bloodborne as good as it is, is not worth that money

Well, some gimmick weapons are capable of shitting out a considerable amount of damage, the trident was also pretty good in 2 as well.
I expect the game to actually have decent weapon balance, at least BB and DaS2 were okay in this department.

>>323580249
Knowing Dark Souls it probably is. Now if only we can have that and a giant ass mace and roll like 400 feet like those assholes int he Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne, we're set.

Things from Dark Souls 1 I want to stay on Dark Souls 3:
Soul-level based matchmaking.
Non-human enemies and bosses (the good ones like Manus and the wheel skeletons, not the bad ones like Bed of Chaos)
Pre-Anor londo level design,
Challenging human-in-armor bosses like O&S and Artorias
Non-nerfed magic and miracles.
Infinite uses invasion items.
An actually functional gravelord covenant
Claymore
Being able to travel on foot from one area to the another
Poise
Heavy armor actually being viable.
Elite Knight set


Things from Dark Souls 2 I want to stay on Dark Souls 3:
Server-based multiplayer instead of peer-to-peer multiplayer
New enemies / events / items / weapons on NG+
All the coventans.
Power stance
The different stat scaling for every element
Viable fists
Slow estus healing
Invading Hollowed players
Losing a % of your maximum HP every single time you die
The Lost Crowns trilogy's level design
Gyrm's greathammer
Areas swarming with enemies
Bonfire teleporting from the very beginning
Nerfed backstab
Alva Set
Being able to equip more than two rings.

Things I want gone from both games:
DaS's shitty netcode (SUMMONING FAILED)
DaS2's Soul Memory
DaS2's Infinite poise enemies
DaS2's washed-out color palette
DaS2's shitty hitboxes.
DaS2's healing stones.
DaS2's enemies having perfect tracking
Both games' boring lineal corridor areas (Demon's ruins, Lost izalith, Dragon shrine, Aldia's keep)

The network stress test had terrible netcode, Invasions failed constantly, but that may be due more to the fact that in order to invade they have to have a person co-oping with them, which I think is an awful change personally.

But, it was constant failings on my end, had to re-use the damn orb like 50 times in a row just to try and get something and even then it would only work either in the area right outside the boss door around all the flowers or near the second bonfire.

I liked areas like the Iron Keep or shrine of amana because you had to keep fighting but I can see why everyone disliked them. I just want the game to not have huge areas full of nothing.
Replaying DaS made me appreciate the bonfire teleporting being available from the very beginning, but for it to work without annoying people the levels need to be carefully designed.

It's back to being instant, sadly. I preferred slower healing as well, easier to punish during PvP and makes you more cautious during PvE.
The animation windup seems to be slower than DaS1/2 though, so we'll see.

I gave sony money the other day, and I'm seriously appalled at how much shit I have to put up with to use this machine. How have you guys been doing this for more than TWO YEARS?

- Have to pay to play online. Why the fuck are you still putting up with this? Get together and sign a petition or boycott that shit or something. The PC userbase does it all the time.
- The hardware isn't that great. It doesn't seem like they're really selling this console at a loss (Which is par for the course for console manufacturers - they sell the consoles at a loss, but make money off the games), since a PC of only a slightly higher pricepoint can easily outperform it, with all the other advantages of PC gaming.
- Games STILL don't offer graphics options if you want to bump up the framerate a little bit. I'd love to turn down texture quality and draw distance because when playing a game at 900p with no AA, you can't see shit anyway.
- Likewise, in-game options are severely limited. Want to change your input options? Too bad, you can only use a small selection of preset layouts.
- Can't connect over the 5ghz band. What? This shit came out in 2013. For a machine that can stream and play online simultaneously, that option is essential.
- Doesn't support peripherals like mouse + keyboard in-game, sans one or two games. With the PC audience as big and mainstream as it is now, you'd think better mouse + keyboard support would be an easy way to appeal to that crowd.
- Most games are multiplat, the ones that aren't are hit-or-miss. Until Dawn and Bloodborne are the only one's I'm enjoying, but not nearly enough to justify this purchase.

Overall, I'm really, really displeased with this machine and cannot understand why so many people praise it as the second coming of christ.

>>323585702
Unless you're a shield fag it plays better than every Souls title before it.

I don't get what mods are doing most of the time. What's the point of having rules if they don't mean shit? Flame wars are against the rules, but most platform war threads stay up and the only ones getting deleted are when it triggers some mod because it's his favorite vidya/platform/company.

If dark souls 1 and 2 hadn't come to PC and found a lot of new fans there then nobody would have cared about it on PC.

Dark 1 got ported after people showed interest and found success equal to the PS3 release despite being a bad port that required a fan patch.

Dark 2 was best on PC (FPS/ load times) but felt lackluster as a game, later the updated version released as a new game and split the PC player base.

On top of that we came to find out that while a B team was making dark 2 the A team had been working on a game that would only be available on one platform, excluding everyone who didn't want to get a PS4 and hindering the game with shit framerate and load times.

That's at least why I was mad about it, wouldn't have cared if the other two games hadn't been ported but I feel kind of ripped off after all of that. Hopefully now that the guy behind souls is the lead of from they'll stop fucking with their fanbase.
