ya, I remember when the population died down I kept invading the same guy in 4-1, he must have duped ephemeral eyes or some shit. I would just roll R1 and always kill him, he summoned 2 guys my sixth go but I still ended up killing him with a sliver of health. I'll have to look at my messages to get a picture of that for the future

My friend bought demons souls shortly after release because he liked the cover the absolute mad man. I wouldn't play it till years later but I remember watching him fight Allant when no one knew anything and get his shit absolutely pushed in in an intense long fight with so many soul sucks he de-leveled out of being able to use his weapon. He raged incredibly hard.

>>376497324

this ain't DS3 buddo.

No music in a game will stick with me more than the first time I fought the Flame Lurker.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7T05Lm9mjw

The music and the setting were so imposing that I actually felt a little bit of fear.

>>376498472
the only boss in this series I died more to was ludwig in BB

flamelurker ripped my asshole apart, especially since I didn't know about the purple flame shield

>>376498530

Got absolutly rekt by the maneaters

>>376498590
I fared well with them think I got lucky with the AI retarding out on the second man eater or maybe it was my thief ring helping out

it's insane how useful thief ring is in DeS for both PvP and PvE but no one uses it in DaS games

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMphk_j27yw

This theme, at times, reminds me of ActRaiser.

>>376492623
i just reqlized this is probably what the paired axes from das3 are based off

>>376498694
Demon's has the best music in the series imo.

>>376498732
There are tons of Demon's Souls callbacks in Dark Souls 3. The invasion boss, the headwrap piece (unrelated to the invasion boss), the Storm Ruler, the Fire Keeper, etc.

>>376498771
I don't know about best but it's definitely the most atmospheric. Astraea's and the False Idol's themes are just chilling.

>>376498665
fog ring was a meme in the early days in das1 because it used to make people incapable of locking on to you.

>>376498831
the headwrap was in das1 as well

>>376498865
Was it? I can't remember if I ever found that. Do you know what it was called?

>you can't get that armor set
>you can't get that moveset

I'm going to be making a "not dark/demon souls" one day, aside from allowing the player to get EVERYTHING from a boss, what other changes from the typical souls formula should I follow?

>>376498865
>>376498901
Found it, it was a part of the Xanthous Set.

>>376498665

Never thought to use the thief's ring! Only used for the Old Hero and The Storm King. What an idiot I am. Fight took me about 20 attempts.

>>376499142
Bro, I'm gonna let you play as bosses for a certain covenant; even if I decide to drop the online component, you'll get to fight a com.

>>376499237
i would definitely recommend keeping some form of online component even if its not direct pvp/coop, kinda like niohs revenants or something

>>376498665

I'll tell you something useful that nobody used in demon's souls it's the cloak spell, you can be in lock-on range against other players and people couldn't see you.

It can lead to a lot of hilarity.

>>376499319
doesnt that only hide you from red phantoms or is that a different spell?

>>376499318
If online turns out to be a no go, I'm going with my original plan; evil characters leave behind a dark spirit when they die and good characters leave a phantom.

>invading 3-2 with the DBS

Dark Souls just doesn't feel right. I do not feel threatened by anything. Every song has an orchestra behind it. I can't exactly pinpoint what elements does Demon's Souls have that Dark Souls doesn't, but the latter is missing something.

>>376499487
I remember last year I played Demon's Souls and I invaded some guy in the poison swamp area and he had the nerve to send me hatemail when I killed him and his buddy

fag should be thankful he even got an invasion on his playthrough

>>376498968
Try and implement poise if you can without making it busted
Cooldowns on spells instead of set number of casts (keep mana costs)
Let more points in int reduce the mana cost and possible cooldown of spells
Certain bosses that can disable use of a shield or disarm for a duration
NO weapon arts, just let the weapons feel like they have realistic weight

Idk its like 5am that's all I got right now.

>>376499419
T H I C C

>>376499598
What would be a good way to do poise? I liked Dark 1's use of it but I'd make it so the heavier you are, the slower item use is.

>>376499452

There's actually a normal version and a black phantom version that's slightly better, same with the rings. From memory I think the BP version was 3 steps away and cloak was 4 steps away while the ring goes up to 8 or 10 I can't remember.

>>376499691
The only problem with DS1 is you could mismatch armor sets and get crazy high values, that combined with the pinwheel masks made things pretty wild (havelmoms, giantdads, people would even run lighter 53? poise builds with child mask)

I think the best would be instead of 3 speeds have everything with weight affect speed. Something like a flat agility value that you translate into sprint speed and i-frames per roll based on a simple formula.

>>376498968
Try to get the feeling of Demon's Souls soundtrack. You don't need a super duper epic orchestra OST to make a great boss battle. I've can't remember any boss theme from DS but I can still hear The Flamelurker's soundtrack in the back of my head.

>>376499832
Pinwheel's theme was pretty DeS-like.

>>376499563
atmosphere mang

>>376499821
That's close to what I was gonna do; original idea was to have heavy armor and light armor; no weight limits for gear, but every piece of heavy armor slows down everything a bit in exchange for poise and actual defense.

>tfw pinwheel has one of the coolest souls theme
>tfw you never get to hear it because he dies before you even enter the fog wall

Fucking leeroy can THREE SHOT him so I never get the people that say "he's an early game fight!"

>>376499691

Have weight percentage have an impact on poise, just as a rough example have mid roll level characters in decent armor have the average poise to shrug off light attacks while heavy attacks will knock them around, fat rolling players will be like a wall while flipity flip will get pushed around by a gentle breeze.

>>376499821

Rather than crazy high values people mix and matched for the optimum poise to weight ratio and throw on a mask for the added buff, I think people ran 53 because it was enough to take a 2 handed greatsword level attack without flinching.

>>376499986
Maybe don't change weapon speeds. People get used to a moveset and the timings on it and ingrain it to memory.
Messing with those values will probably make players have an "off" feeling which is bad when they aren't doing something wrong.

>>376501067
is that a maneater or an anteater anon?

>>376500115
Not him but you could have certain parts of an attack take longer depending on weight. Like if you're in heavy armor, maybe you can't swing in succession as fast and leave a bigger opening between attacks. It could be tied to individual attacks too, like maybe the second slash in the chain specifically needs more recovery time, so heavy builds would be able to attack up to two times before the opponent could roll out, whereas a light build with that weapon might get up to three or four. Conversely, maybe someone with TOO light of a build wouldn't be able to use weapons that are too heavy. Like, let's say some dude is going naked, if he swung an ultra great sword, he might stumble around or have a lot of extra recovery frames after he swings because the weapon is lighter than his body. You could basically just use weight to mod certain attributes of a weapon, like maybe the thrust on a weapon doesn't go as far if you're too heavy and maybe a heavier build would let you stand your ground better and retain more stamina if you blocked something. You could kinda lend weapons towards certain builds better than others, or maybe allow certain weapons to fulfill different roles depending on weight. Idk, just idea guy-ing.

>>376501183

>>376499832
That's because DS1's soundtrack sucks ass for the most part.

>>376501180
Yep, Hyper mods are magical, and you don't really need to make a specific build around it, even though it works better without leveling hp.

Another good hyper-weapon to use i the fire surge, you can get thousands of dps in seconds.

>>376501295
I can only remember Gwyn's fight.

>>376501372

If you mean Old King Allant, I honestly don't get this meme of him being the last boss. After killing Tower Knight, I went to kill Armored Spider, Flamelurker and Dragon God, and after that Penetrator and Allant. If you can fight him with 15 other bosses still alive, he's not the final boss. Unless you mean True King Allant, who was a worse final boss than Aldia

Besides I can't see how everyone praises Old King Allant this much, he was so easy and predictable

The problem with old hero is that the trick to the fight is so well known, fighting him head on is intense.

The new games just don't have that magic of demon's souls invasions, maybe it's because the series is so well known that everyone has played it but the days of two low levels not knowing what they are doing fighting one another is long gone.

4-1 dueling is for faggots.

>>376498865
Yeah, but the one in DS3 looks MUCH more like Old Monk's memewraps

That's why you run into the level and deprive them of their precious PvP.

You are correct. Made a 40/40/40 build for it and fucking destroyed. Combine with Cat Ring and Morion Blade for most fun.

>>376499832
Well Flamelurker was easily the best music in DeS

>>376499419
Those hips

>>376506086

What makes him tough is that to do decent damage to him you need cursed weapon or whatever build that would shred anything else, that guys defense is insane and he will one shot you without second chance, and worst of all he can grass.

>>376506256
Just parry him no?

>>376506256
Yup. Your damage is a Havel-early-game kinda expierence. And without Second Chance, you have just one to get it right. And it takes forever. Pure melee is suffering against him if you don't rely on buffs/magic/miracles.

>>376506315
He's two-handing. Not an option.

>>376506086
His AI is not the problem, the problem is that he can one-shot you after you've been chipping away at his health for five minutes.

>>376506452
Yes and unlike other enemies, he knows exactly when to punish you. Always.

>>376505437
Also the best sawmp. I like world 5, spefically 5-2 a lot. Dunno why.

>>376506498
I think they just turned off all limits on his AI.

1-4 or 1-3 (the level with the three black phantoms at the start) is a good spot, even now. Level 80-100.

I've beaten DeS around 6 times and I have no idea why people think False King Allant is hard. It's such a boring easy fight. I've never been hit by the soulsucker thing either. Didn't even know he could reduce your level till I read about it here.

So if they did remake it, would they get rid of world tendency, or at least edit how it works?

I played DeS about 2 or 3 years ago and felt like WT was mostly just confusing to figure out and felt like it was made for a game that had a thriving online community, rather than the barren world I played through. I got invaded once during my whole playthrough, though there were still hints and bloodstains aplenty.

It's sort of balanced by the fact that the weapons that upgrade with Colorless are so powerful that they're viable without being maxed out.

>>376507773
2kat and DBS were the only things I ever saw. A bug with the Talisman of Beasts meant Cursed Weapon was actually stronger if you didn't meet the requirements to use the Talisman, so everyone had a buffed weapon regardless of build.

>>376508201
It wasn't stronger, the life drain just didn't trigger when insufficient stats; making it fool proof to use.

the biggest troll of that map is the island with the four giant trolls who aren't affected by the swamp.
Your reward three ephemeral eyes (Ressurection stones). Gee, thanks

>>376508201

The bug for the talisman actually just messed with it's drawback, instead of draining 1% of your health each tick it drained 1 damage, meaning it did fuck all and there was no reason not to use it.

The souls community seems to have gone to total shit right around the release of DaS 2, not the PC release of DaS as many believe. I blame DaS 2 having an "epic" CGI trailer as it's first announcement at the fucking VGAs, aka dumb normie central. I remember after that happened hearing a bunch of normie acquaintances talking about it and saying shit like "I thought it was TES, I've never heard of Dark Souls but that looked dope". This is even more apparent with the rabid fanboys and defenders DaS 2 has, as it was many's first Souls game. 3 carried this playerbase forward, and these are the people that shit on DaS 1 and DeS and praise DaS 2 and 3.

Bloodborne's community is actually pretty good though, maybe it's because it's more niche. All the shitposting in BB threads basically always comes from some outside source like some faggot trying to start console wars or the "le ten days platinum" fag.

Flamelurker is basic,same with maneaters. I heard so much about their difficulty but beat both on my first attempt without farming healing stuff. He was probably pretty threatening at the time but I played DeS after DaS but before 2 so I wasn't completely new. The only Dark Souls game that still felt challenging compared to my first was the later parts of 3, everything hits like a truck. DeS, 2 and BB never felt like that to me.

>>376511047
Still I like helping people and also getting help to fight bosses and just mess about.
I can still do that in Dark Souls but there is literally no one playing Demon's Souls which is sad.

I'm thinking, though. People do those DaS1 online revival events every once in a while, deciding to play the game once again with new characters and such. Why not make one for DeS? A Return to Boletaria thing. Was the online region locked?

Dark Souls 2's gameplay is the straw that breaks the camel's back. The rest of the problems would be bearable and the game would even be somewhat admirable in the sheer amount of content it provides if it at least played as good as DaS 1 but the game feels like complete ass. Animations are awful, movement is awful, hitboxes are awful, everything feels like fucking shit.

>>376512945

The online is region locked but I think the NA version is the main version everyone used, the others came out much later and weren't that alive in the first place I think.

>>376512272
It isn't the worst game I've ever played but there are way too many things about it I find annoying. It's all the little things that add up like the weird level design, enemy placement or how sluggish your character feels.

I'm not the biggest fan of DaS2 either, but it did add some good things, like useful left-hand movesets and powerstancing. There's also the sheer volume of stuff to use they added, but it's true that the gameplay itself doesn't really sit well with me. Attacking feels kind of fake. Movement feels floaty and everything is kind of weightless. Almost as if you were moving underwater

It just feels very strange

power stancing was way better than weapon arts which are the shittiest, most lackluster gimmick ever. Most of them are recycled and all of them are just 1-2 extra moves per weapon that aren't even generally useful. Compared to powerstancing or god forbid trick weapons, weapon arts are fucking embarrassing.

fuck off sperg

DaS2 did add some nice things to the game if you ask me. The powerstancing, left hand movesets, 4 ring slots, the inclusion of bonfire ascetics and a new game + that actually added something more other than more health to enemies. It's honestly a shame that we will never get to play the game that was advertised originally. Exploring some dark areas like the Tomb of Giants with a torch sounded so much fun

>>376513494
Then why don't you use the weapon that's made EXCLUSIVELY for people who missed DBS or are cosplaying Biorr?

You did beat him in the tutorial, right? You aren't forever stained with the shame of a loss you can never avenge, right? Playthroughs after your first don't count either. You either won or you lost forever.

I-i put up a good fight.

>>376513960
I played Demon's Souls last, so he was a piece of cake with the templar knight

>>376513960
Of course, but I had played Dark Souls beforehand so I doubt it counts
Getting killed by the Dragon God in a cutscene instead of getting to fight him yourself is pretty bullshit, however

How so? It's just sitting there at the Dragon God fight

Don't change the size of weapons when you get them. If they've got a fuckhuge sword, I want that heavy piece of shit. No shrinking it.

I'm guessing you're one of those people that played the game late where the servers are basically pure white, normally it's behind rubble but in pure white you can grab it.

Its almost like DarkSouls was meant to be a Demon's Souls remake. Hmmmm I fucking wonder.

>>376514598

>Wear full brushwood
>Get bogged down with extremely heavy armor while others roll around with armor that's a fraction of the weight and has similar defenses

They really fucked up with heavy armor in demon's souls, you only wore it if you liked how it looked.

>>376514605
That explains it, yes. I didn't play online, not much anyway, because the online was pretty much dead. But I did play in Soul form the whole time because I didn't want to waste items

>>376499208
One time I killed one man eater and the other was 1-hit away from death and he got stuck under the bridge. It was such bullshit

>>376514810
How heavy was Ancient King's? Because I remember it being the best all-around armor because it had no stamina impact.

Dark Souls 2 has a few pretty good tracks that aren't a complete mess. However, boss themes for DS3 all sound the same.

>>376507975
ur mom
Literally just the label. Same game

>>376515004

Somewhere between light and medium, that's something else I forgot too about brushwood, it gives a stamina penalty because it isn't bad enough already.

true :(
