i know this is just shitposting, but
>lost izalith
fuck off

Everything after Bill and Ben is either shit, or was never finished

DaS1 is a big rough gem
DaS3 is a smaller polished gem

The second half of the game is terrible. It's flawed as fuck.

>>376406260
This. If you treat the first half of Dark Souls as a full game with O and S as the final boss and amazing chest ahead as your reward, DS is nearly flawless.

It's a goddamn shame what happens after that

This meme needs to die.

Tomb of Giants is amazing, as well as Dukes Archives and the dlc. New Londo is ok, only the Lost Izalith parts do suck.

Fuck off.

>>376406534
The areas leading up to Nito, Seath, and The Four Kings were pretty tough. Shame the bosses weren't as challenging.

>>376406610
This

>>376406610
agreed. people act like the game goes to complete shit but it really doesn't.

>>376406610
Tomb of the Giants is a short empty nothing area that's just crammed with enemies, you just can't tell because it's dark. Actually go through it in your head and you can see it's like one short corridor leading down, with like 3 side areas for treasure.
Hogwarts is okay, but the actual hogwarts part is just annoying, you're constantly under fire from all directions from crystal homos and wizards.

Original bed of chaos never ever

I dismiss the opinion of anyone who says "hurr hurr post anor londo sucks". Sorry but it's an objectively false opinion so it gets dismissed. The only bad part was Izalith.

Every level was perfectly connected until post anor londo killed it with teleportation

For all its flaws, at least Scholar doesn't have an area as shitty as Lost Izalith.

>>376406610
New Londo is one of the better areas in the game, especially if you go there early in the game (sl20 ish). Dukes Archives are a drag you have to force yourself through with an extra shitty boss to top it off. Tomb of Giants is actually pretty okay though. Lost Izalith is pure shit.

>>376406610
Tomb of the Giants is okay but the darkness hides how short it is. Duke's archive is actually quite good but new londo, dlc (excluding bosses) and lost izalith are shit.

>>376406260
Dark Souls is ultra comfy up until Blight Town at which point every area after that is stale.

>>376408863
>get one of various manners to illuminate the place
>wow not so hard

Do it my dude

>>376408770
It's not about pvp, poise is a stat that let's you completely negate one of the worst parts about fucking up and getting hit. The game becomes piss easy with poise as you don't ever have to wait for an opening to heal, or even attack. Combine that with having up to 20 estus and you've pretty much won the game.

>perfect game
>hardly more than a rehash of DeS

If you played DeS then you already played through most of DaS, expect that DeS has better overall design.

>>376408935
>teleportation
You don't have to use it. There is no instance where you're required to use teleportation except to leave boss rooms
>perfectly connected
Catacombs is connected to Firelink, New Londo is connected to Firelink and Valley of Drakes, Archives is connected to Anor Londo, Izalith is connected to Blighttown. What's your point here?

>>376406220
>--st

>>376408949
let me tell you who t this girl I know called Amanda

>>376408341
I groaned with irritation when I first got there. "it's dark!" is the worst gimmick a level can have. Ever. Not being able to see isn't scary, it's just annoying.

>>376409128
It adds more to the game than it detracts though. You'll breeze through the game if you just keep leveling anyway, or abuse any of the other mechanics like parrying. Poise allows you to do low sl runs and in that way makes it much easier to do fun roleplay invasion builds.
Fuck dealing with Four Kings at single digit sl without full havel.

>>376406610
Dukes Archives was aids for even the 10th time I was there
Fuck that place

lol wasn't the lantern not a guaranteed drop in the catacombs til after the big patch. I think I had to restart my first play through because I made it to the first tomb bonfire without a light source or the lord vessel

>>376406220
Not perfect. OP is a faggot.

>>376408863
>ragequitting in lategame area because you lost 20k souls

You realize that you get to a point where leveling up doesn't really help much, right? Generally at that point in the game you're basically at your final build.

>4 kings were hyped as fuck in the lore

>they're all weaker than previous bosses

4 kings was the biggest offender, all you had to do was run at him and mash rb and they all had the same moves

Those gank bosses in the forest in BB is how you do gank bosses right

>>376409508
If I remember right you had a realtively big percentage chance that the necromancers would drop one but not guaranteed. You'll always find one down the hole where patches gives you a kick though.
Also the sunlight crown solaire wears in Lost Izalith.

>>376409638

>NG+ Four Kings

The actual most difficult boss in the game

>>376409349
Yeah but none of those other elements effect combat on such a fundamental level. Even if you parry or have shit tons of health getting hit still puts you in a shitty position and keeps you from attacking/healing/moving to and advantageous position. Poise was put in the game to make it easier for people who couldn't interact with enemies without consistently fucking up.

Poise it's ok in Dark Souls 3. The game in general it's not designed to have a poise system like in Dark Souls 1.

>>376409634
There's no guarantee that he was at late game. You can kill pinwheel pretty fucking early and then go into the tomb. The first time I played I did it after the gargoyles.

>>376409693
This. Even if you're Iron Flesh tanking, NG+ Four Kings is a DPS race you will not win before the second king spawns and ganks you. Maybe if you're using something like a Burger King axe, but otherwise you just won't deal enough damage to burst him down before the second king spawns.

>>376409349
>>376409756
Are we going to pretend that nobody ever does low/no level playthroughs of the other soulsborne games without poise? Or that parrying is as new-user friendly as poise?

>>376406610
Tomb of Giants is fucking shit.

>>376410085
I never really had an issue with the gravelord sword and havels/stone armour, and I ran that game to NG+6 or more. The second did come up quick but not so early that the first want dropping soon after.

People bitch about Lost Izalith but Crystal Caves is the worst offender. Just awful level design.

>>376410136
>Or that parrying is as new-user friendly as poise?
How is it not? Enemies are slow as fuck in this game with heavily telegraphed moves.

>>376410502
You time literally nothing with poise. It's completely passive, you don't have to wait for them to attack, you don't have to worry about attacks that can't be parried you just walk up and spam r1 like a knuckle-dragger. Poise works directly against enemy interaction.

>>376410737
This. Poisecucks are the worst. Poise is a lowskill mechanic for shitters with poor timing. If you have bad timing, you deserve to get punished. Poise is a band-aid for trash players.
>m-muh broken DS3 poise game is bad
Oh no, the game actually forces you to play properly and Time your attacks rather than R1 mashing like a Neanderthal? 0/10 shit game would not play

All it does is fix the problems with the port and add a couple of its ownthank god for the toggle key, the game itself is fine.

No, anon. DS after Anor Londo is still great. Only the bosses of Demon Ruins and Izalith are bad.

And people tend to forget that all of Artorias of the Abyss is post-AL

>>376406610
>New Londo
>not one of the best levels

>>376406260
I only had problems with the copypasted enemies in lost izalith and bed of chaos

>tfw go through NG+ with a trainer
feels good

>>376406260
I only disliked Demon Ruins and Lost Izalith, honestly. Felt kinda bland compared to the rest of the game.

>>376406220
it's a great game, but it's far from perfect

why is dark souls 1 the only souls game with good covenants?

why did they all go to shit afterwards?

>>376406260
I dunno. Duke's Archives was pretty cool.

>>376406610
The bosses and areas just become gimmicks past Anor Londo.

>4Kings is just a dps rush
>Bed of Chaos is heavy rng
>Seath and Nito can't actually hit consistently, so they added enemies or a curse meter just to gimp it out.

>>376415961
I don't think anyone denies that Bed of Chaos is garbage.

>>376415083
DS has plenty of good shit in it, its handling of covenants is not one of those things.

>>376415083
Bellbros and aldrichbros were cool covenants.

>>376411354

So this meme is still alive?? Kek

>>376418368
He didn't say it was hard.

>>376410085
I did it but I had the version of the Artorias sword that dealt extra damage to abyss.

It WOULD be perfect if it didn't have the following:
- Bed of Chaos;
- Lost Izalith in general;
- 4kings

new londo is one of my favorite areas in ds1. loved the idea of an area without any actual bonfires
