Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne are such fucking godly products, From Software truly stepped up their games from the days of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2.

I can't wait to see their 3 new games. I've never bought a collector edition in my life, but I don't give a fuck, I will pre-order the collectors edition of their next Dark Fantasy ARPG game and I will also pre-order the normal edition of their other 2 games, one being Armored Core 6.

Demon's Souls was such a low budget game, and now we have something like Gael's Boss Fight.

I really want to see what happens on the E3. My only hope is not to need to buy a PS4. But surely I'll have to.

Bullshit. The whole series is a retarded gook interpretation of what the west is. Nothing but giant knights and dragons up the ass. Also too fucking cool to have normal currency so they use souls with no expelnation on how they fucking store it and calling giant cathedrals cities without adding shit that nakes it a city.

Yes, medieval knights and dragons are pretty western and not weeb if you ask me. You can clearly see in game they absorb the souls into themselves and then transfer it to another being, I don't see how alternative currency is weeb even if it wasn't explained at all (which it is).

Gael is everything wrong with dark souls 3 game design
All his attacks are so fast and area-reaching that it's pointless trying to side step or block them, and instead mashing roll to one side absolutely trivialises him.
All the while the music is screaming bloody murder and the audio is raped by lightning SFX.

Oh yeah and what makes your opinion so objective? I'll go ahead and tell you it's wrong, BB is the best "Souls" game but DaS3 is just as horribly mediocre as 2. There is a very good reason it is the only Souls game I haven't bought and I'm sure I'm a bigger fan of the series than you.
>>
>>376509431
No, it's a boring uninspired game with nothing interesting in it. DaS1 has a better world and characters while BB trick weapons completely shit on those super ebin weapon arts that are worthless most of the time. Also it's linear as fuck and has almost no replay value compared to the other Souls games.
>>
>>376509431
It is definitely not better than DS1 and anyone who claims otherwise is an idiot. It's the most streamlined so far and it's entertaining but it didn't do ANYTHING new
>>
>>376508987
It's fucking retarded and shows gooks don't know shit about western mythos if it's just full of stupidly sized giant knights, dragons and deformed people. There are more winged beasts out there like Griffins, manticores or Oszlugzs .And what's wrong with using coins like a normal fucking game? But what do you expect when it's made by a fucking hack who read english books with shit english skills and just filled the gaps with autistic weeb shit.

And no, DS1 is unfinished, it couldn't ever be better than DS3 simply by having that flaw. It's a simpler and more objective game because it wasn't meant to have sequels, just like Bloodborne, but that doesn't make it better than 3.
All in all, you can have your opinions but saying 2 and 3 are "shit" while this series is better than almost every game in the industry is simply being contrarian for the sake of it.

I'm not sure if I could play a souls game on my own.

What I mean is I played a little bit of demons souls and didn't touch it again just because it got lost to time, then I started playing Bloodborne and I was totally fine with the mechanics of the game and the combat and shit, but I feel like I would get lost without a guide.

My mate was also playing it and was around most of my own sessions of the game so he would kinda guide me. Never tell me what weapons to use or give me tips for bosses or anything, just if I was unsure of where to go he would point me in the right direction, I'm just terrible at navigation.

Should I just jump into DS3 and try it out or will I just get lost?

>M-M-MUH POIISSSSEEEE
t. autistic R1 mashing shitters who don't understand that poise is a scrub system for bad players who can't time attacks properly so they have to facetank everything with poise. DS1 poise was an absolute joke. DS3 got poise right. The only weapons that should have any kind of hyperarmor frames are heavy weapons, end of discussion. Wanting hyperarmor on fast weapons marks you as a shitter cuckold who can't play the game right.

The first part of DaS1 is better than the entirety of DaS3. I can play up through AL in DaS over and over again, while I haven't wanted one time to play any of DaS3 again after initial playthrough.

Playing Dark Souls 3 all I could think was "hey this is in BB but BB does it better! Hey this is in DaS but DaS does it better!" And then I wondered why I would waste money on this game when I already have 2 much much better versions of it that offer actual unique experiences. DaS3 is just DaS and BB mashed together but it doesn't do anything better than either game so why even play it?

I have all of the 5 games, I play Souls trilogy on the PC because those are definitive versions of the games.

BB:TOH > DaS3:TFFE > DaS:PTDE > DaS2:SOTFS > DeS.

This is a fact, not up for debate, get cancer you son of a whore.

>>376509327

Poise is not a good gameplay mechanic or system, fuck of shitter. I am so fucking happy DaS3 and Bloodborne raped "poise" and From Software will never include it in their future dark fantasy ARPG games and new IPs.

The Dark Souls 3 lore is fantastic, you are just too retarded to comprehend it, the only flaw is Ornstein, but that plothole is partially the faulth of DaS2.

The combat of DaS3 is easier than Bloodborne, but a lot harder than DaS. DaS combat, just like DeS, is fucking brain dead easy. So is DaS2, fucking easy, once you get enough ADP for your i-frames during dodging. BB and DaS3 are the hardest games out of the Soulsborne, this is a fact.

Linear? Yes, but lesser quality? not at all. The only flaw of DaS3 is the world connectivity, everything else is great.

As for areas, they are great, not boring at all. Want boring? look no further than DeS.

Not him but as someone who owns every Souls game, Dark Souls 2 is by far the hardest game. A lot of this could be considered mechanical issues and "artificial" difficulty but this doesn't change the fact that its WAY harder than any of the other games.
>>
>>376511432
To be honest Dark Souls don't have any fantastic lore or story, people are saying it's good only because it's hidden from the player and they need to use their brain to put the pieces together.

>Miyazaki making the player understand the series is going down and should be fucking over through the game's plot without making it completely feel like meta-shit isn't good writing

It doesn't answer anything in the series aside from the fate of Gwyn's firstborn, it introduces so many things that never get resolved or explained (The deep vs the dark/abyss, kaathe cosplaying as angels, angelic faith, people turning into dragons) while continuing the gayness that is dark souls 2''s "Everything is a cycle" bullshit.
Oh, and every fucking thing is a dark souls 1 reference. Some were cool like like Aldritch's theme being a remix of Gwyndolins, the Soul of Cinder, the burnt out stray demon at the bridge, but some shit like Abyss Watchers were so fucking lazy.

Alright
the deep is probably just the abyss but like,deeper(but we have no clue on this so i'll give you that)
The angels are abyssal abominations from londor, kaathe rules londor so it's obvious that to their followers they would speak of kaathe as something akin to god
people turning into dragons is literally nothing new
also aldrich is a shit boss and the soul of cinder is completely fine(except for the phase 2 music, gwyn's music already sucked ass so i wasn't looking foward for that)

This sums up the problem of DaS3 so, so much

How does nobody else see it?

Rolls are way too fucking cheap and safe, so the only way to make bosses pressure the player is to give them 8 second long combos that require like 5 rolls to dodge and it's just an arms race from there. Pontiff had like 8 part combos

The problem that stems from this is it forces you into that style of gameplay - shields become absolutely worthless because you cant block 8 parts of a combo without staggering even with a greatshield - not to mention the split damage meaning you take chip damage anyway

DaS3 and BB, now that is greatness, great bosses, great music, great experience, great graphics, everything is great, GREAT FAST GAMEPLAY.

Thank god From Software is going in the direction of DaS3 and BB with ALL THEIR FUTURE DARK FANTASY ARPG AND NEW IPs, NEVER EVER AGAIN will we have poise or the slow and easy combat of DeS, DaS, DaS2.

Bloodborne got it right because the pacing of the game was totally different and most of the attacks you had to multi dodge were feral beasts tard raging and had long recoveries because they wore themselves out

That's called having combat depth. Something hard for beginners to notice but for experts to master, and it makes fights more rewarding and enjoyable. Ironic how you don't know what depth looks like, as all you do is shill Dark Souls 3 all day.

It's almost as if there's a correlation between the two.

>>376516574
>Walking behind boss and hitting him until he dies is depth
>>
>>376515847
Except they literally are in the case of DS3. Poise is "the ability to withstand attacks without breaking form", and this comes into effect during certain attacks and skills from certain weapons, letting you do so with those attacks for longer. This doesn't change the use of it if you're actually using it to break through enemy attacks that you see coming. This is not the first time stat application has changed in the series either, this ultimately comes down to you getting mad you can't wear a suit of big armour and waltz through attacks without any input. Also the "realism" defense isn't doing you any favours, and just wearing armour doesn't stop you from staggering if you don't see something coming. Having a mechanic that actually serves the gameplay should come first.
>>
>>376515041
This is the truth. In fact, armor itself hardly matters outside of some small elemental protections, and so long as you have something in an armor slot you're pretty much good to go for the whole game, so long as you can fast roll.

Yes this is definitely not a "viable" method of playing the game, surely the fault doesn't lie with you just not adapting or using basic gameplay skills. Fun fact, all those builds can work fine if you actually play the game instead of being pigheaded, and there's even a spell that does exactly what you want, but since it's not exactly what you're used to it must not be "viable". The only real change with poise that matters is that you have to be active in implementing it, instead of having a get out of jail free card in a game specifically about risk and reward and paying attention to your surroundings and enemies.

Every build was the same and followed a braindead formula:

Anything else was literally handicapping yourself like a retarded idiot. These builds have been the same since DeS since movement is always the number 1 priority.

The difference is the BB bosses do it when it's smart to do it.
Artorias for example just panic rolls with no rhyme or reason to it, and throws his splash attack regardless of your position. BB bosses with change their combos due to your position to keep themselves safe fairly often. You can even it draw out certain attacks reliably this way.

Thats just wrong. Poise and a good shield could carry you through all of DaS1 and DeS without ever using i-frames, das1 because poise and des because each encounter was designed very well.

Thats just not a fun build anymore and its dumb as hell that muh balance is more important than fun and variety.

There's a reason DeS never got patched, PvP was never the point. DaS1 was better pre-patch as well before it was made easy as shit.

Every boss in the series has something like this. It's part of how their attacks are chosen in the code.

Thats literally how From does business.
>>
>>376519903
First off, DeS was patched, specifically for PvP, but you didn't know that did you? The patch was included on disc in the NA version, but the original JP/Korean intl version had all kinds of fuckery, like negative stats builds (aka. letting Allant soulsucker your stats into the negatives so you could get like an extra 100 or so points to work with at the same SL.

Also, poise and a good shield aren't separate from having the fastest roll or flip. That was the problem with poise in the first place, you were never forced to choose. You could have your cake and eat it too.

Also, the encounters weren't designed well. This is why sheids and ranged basically wreck the first two games.

Also, you don't get to pick what's fun. For me, BB is easily the only game worth going back to despite no encumbrance stat and no poise because the gameplay is tight

Thats not a problem with the system, just over powered gear like the wolf ring and havels or black iron.

>you don't get to pick what's fun
>hurr only get rid of what i dont like instead of letting everyone have fun
>>376521269
Greatshield was stronk as fuck just like every other top gear in their respective category, what are you on? I mean you can literally walk through dragon flames and the flamelurker with that one purple shield. Then proceed to get raped in other areas because DeS actually wanted you to use different gear in different areas.

>inb4 being able to play how you want is seen as a bad thing and you should only be allowed to play how fags want

>>
>>376519903
>every build was the same: stack poise as high as possible
>Poise and a good shield could carry you through all of DaS1
You just proved his exact point, poise trumped everything and you could use it with anything so there was no reason not to use it. I don't even know what you're trying to say in this post actually. Poise is a better design because you can take hits without having to avoid them and you can block everything? That's not true on multiple levels, at least you're right in that the game was better before patched to be made easier. But why is being able to take hits freely without stagger or any thought from the player outside of "I'll equip this" and then doing what you want better than judging the timing of an attack and making a conscious effort to evade it before deciding on a counter based on where you are?
And as someone who played through the whole game generally without poise at all, the few times I tried it out removed almost all tension from any encounter, and yet there's no reason whatsoever to not give yourself access to it from a gameplay standpoint. Passive poise is not at all conclusive to fun or variety as you say, it promotes stagnation and laziness.
>>
>>376521825
>Everything destroys those games.
Yes, but it least without a shield and without ranged you have to actually learn how to play the game instead of practically ignoring enemies completely unable to do a thing about shields or ranged.

That is precisely a problem with the system however. You want to know what would happen if you couldn't use poise and maintain a fast roll? 100% of people with a functional frontal lobe would pick the fastest roll. That's why the existence of poise is a joke.

Also, I just said BB was heavenly, so I have no complaints. The developers agree with me it seems, and view DkS1 as the antiquated and broken piece of shit that it is, thank god.

I want them to make a game where being a walking slab of iron and swinging a dragon bone is both viable and feels heavy as shit. I also want to be able to make a new character with ninja flips and daggers/katanas so I can have this funny thing called variety.

Or you could make the damage redusction and poise outweigh the lack of being able to move so a shithead with a dagger cant stunlock you into oblivion. The trade off is that you cant mid roll. But no keep blaming poise for From complete lack of ability to make a game.

>a game that lets you play your own way is bad now

They are shit, are awful at mechanics and programming and fantastic at ideas and presentation, been that way since ps1.

conserving stamina while using a greatshield and timing the windows in which you can lower your shield for a breather inbetween the boss attacks, as well as factoring in your own stamina costs for attacking, is inherently more skillful and demanding than mashing rolls

>>376522658
Okay, I'm going to cut through your arguments and just tell you how to bring back DkS1 poise and shields, since you seem obsessed with it and this could go on all day.

Poise cannot penalize movement. It wont work. Nobody will ever pick it if it does. So, make it penalize something else. Namely, stamina consumption (outside of probably blocking). Every point of stamina used in attacking, running, and rolling should be taxed. This already happens in most of the games, but it needs to be much more severe, like a 2% penalty to actions for every point of poise (aka at 75 poise, actions cost 150% more stamina).
Also, every enemy and moveset should have one move that ignores poise (like the DaS1 kick, but allow it to chain into a single attack for damage).

If you want to return to powerful shields, every enemy and weapon needs hard guardbreaks or unblockables.
>>
>>376523535
That works too.

And guess what, you just came up with something from is too retarded to figure out over 3 games thats not only better that what they came up with in 3 but adds to the depth of builds.

So tell me again how poise is a bad thing?

And how about for poise affecting movement, the super armors like havels and other insanely OP shit does, each piece would have a percentage penalty.

That way you can wear normal knight armors and feel like its not pointless to wear it but if you want to be broken you have huge penalties.

I just want havels/stone to feel like it should at this point of the convo since the rest has been worked out.

See this I don't understand, some enemies in dark souls 3 can do this like the Lothric Knights in their stance attacks. But then they don't let other enemies in the game do it so they just make shields shit, I don't understand From.
>>
>>376523910
I can only evaluate existing versions of poise and not theoretical ones?

Also, since it it's a sliding scale penality, it will hold up well with insanely OP armors to the point where you can only do one action before exhausting yourself.

>>376524103
Well, there track record is shit.
>>
>>376523535
What you described is actually similar to how Nioh used to do it. Before Toughness was fully implemented, in the Alpha and Beta you would gain hyper armour on your attacks based on your agility class. Being lighter would increase your roll distance and lower your Ki costs on attacking, running and dodging, but increase them on blocking, while being heavier did the opposite.
>>
>>376523535
You described... exactly how it works in Dark Souls 2.

If you have over 65% equip load your stamina recovery is pretty bad and so is your consumption. Rolls are also pretty eh.

And I don't think it's possible to have 100 poise and still have 50% equip load unless you're over 200SL or something.

You probably knew this already, idk.

Also, a 1h UGS R1 does immediate 50 poise damage and the 2h R2 (as far as I know) can't be poised unless you have 100 or more, and even if you stack 100 poise, it's basically invalidated if someone uses Stone Ring; also a good counter to poise in the game.

Poise also stops working if it's broken, and has to recharge again. So basically you're stuck with whatever your poise dropped to if the opponent doesn't let it recharge.

Idk how much different this is from what you meant, just thought it sounded pretty in line with it.

Again you keep acting like having a stat work in a way so blatantly powerful and easy to get that every character should be using it is """"variety"""", while ironically ignoring that even in DS3 you can do exactly what you're talking about. If you stack poise and wear the heaviest armour nothing can stop you from swinging that big dragon bone short of the dragon it was attached to. Real variety can only come with having poise give the downside it was originally designed to to set it apart from any other build, which is mostly impossible unless they go to extremes since there will always be ways around the stats. You want to have to actually pay for being unable to be staggered at all with a loss of movement? Iron Flesh exists and has since DS1, try using it. It is essentially balanced passive poise and is a much better implemented form of the extreme I mentioned above. But it requires some actual thought of when best to use it, like how DS3 poise requires thought of when to attack rather than just letting them hit you and being rewarded for it.

An enemy's repeated combo attack is pretty much their own form of guard break, except you can block the first few hits and roll out or attack when you think it'll be best so I don't really know why that makes shields shit.

...Except that's the ONLY way to activate hyperarmor. You yourself have plenty of things to consider before activating hyperarmor, but what options does it give your opponent? Don't they just get punished for attacking you? Without any of the direct counterplay an active and breakable poise system (the one bosses use) would have?

It's really not a good idea to design poise like parrying because failing your parry means doing no damage, as well as taking damage yourself. There's inherent risk.

Hyperarmor however has no punishment for timing poorly because either your opponent takes direct damage, or doesn't. You don't have to get backstabbed either, because you can just break lock-on and turn if need be. You yourself aren't punished, making it essentially no different from how it has always been even though it tries to seem like it is.

I don't see how this furthers the argument that hyperarmor is more skillful than poise.

In fact I don't see how either is more skillful. They're both equally rewarding; hyperarmor even doing so in less exploitable, although less skillfully predictable ways.

Lettme' further explain then.

Stam recovery penalties and usage penalties are extremely different downsides. The stam recovery thing has been in since DeS.

Also, you're saying "well, some ultra greatsword always shits on poise", which isn't the same as all weapons having viable answers or relying on outside equipment. On top of that, enemies need these tools too.
One of the reasons poise has a negative connotation to it, is because it shits on tons of weapons and enemies.

Also, poise is much less gamebreaking in DaS2 frankly. My initial statement was "this is how you bring back DaS1 poise", which isn't at all what I pictured when you make mention of DaS2 poise.

Not really, perhaps in the sense that they're mainly attacks but there are many weapon skills that are different to each other with it, some of which aren't attacks. For what options it gives your opponent, yes it makes attacking a riskier proposition, but not moreso than a passive poise system does, and I don't know why you would think that. Passive poise has all the benefits at all times, with a hyperarmour style system there still exists the option of baiting attacks and punishing, or trying to catch them offguard, which allows a much more interesting ebb and flow to combat with more of a focus on timing attacks correctly. Passive poise means you don't have to act specifically to counter and blow through potential attacks, just wait until they swing and swing yourself since you'll catch their recovery. Breaking poise exists with both systems as well. Also just to be clear I'm not sure if you're thinking of PvE or PvP when you mention opponent's options. I'm generally talking about both as well as combat and exploration, but really your opponent has less options with passive poise since again, it's always on. That's why bosses with it are designed to have punishable recovery and startup on many attacks, as well as to not only react when you attack.

Hyperarmour in action has less punishment (bad timing/spacing can mean you miss), but it does have a cost. Normally in health but also due to requiring heavier weapons or armour. Weighing that cost both outside and in combat is more important when it's specifically tied to actions, and in that sense there's more depth as well as skill in timing and spacing attacks to make use of it best. Passive poise is only tied to armour rather than moveset, so there's no real "using" it, in the way you would use hyperarmour. It's just there as a safety net, which changes it's impact significantly in exploration as well as combat even if it just looks similar.

If you’re including DLC, you’re completely correct. Raime/Alonne/Ivory/Lud and Zallen all together are a tricky bunch.

If you’re doing base game, not even slightly. Easiest by far. Myself and two of my friends have done separate no-death runs on the base game for the ring.
