DOES SHE HAVE A DARK SOUL?

>>382638927
why are Souls games concept arts so cool and have such a strong grim vibe to them, but actual in-game shit is always cartoonishly over the top and silly (especially in DS2)? You expect a serious game full of dark themes, but instead get some anime shit trying hard to be so and only ending up being awkward.

Thematically a lot of DS is really anime because its Japs that make the series. The whole western european knight theme constantly gets overwhelmed by the anime stuff and there's nothing to be done about it.

>>382640039
no.

If dark souls jumps were controlled and edgy like anime they would be trash
What makes them so good is how much personality they have, when Gael jumps he doesn't look like some black haired emo going "heh, i wasn't even trying!" he looks like a blood crazed animal
The only character who does actual anime jumps is Friede who is literally trash tier

All I fucking wanted is some elaboration on Velka and what she did right before and during Gwyn's rule. AotA had some Velka lore (read: fucking nothing) and I already had doubts they'd connect the DLCs like that.

At this point my only solace would be if they did something completely out of left field, like the Ashen One going back in time to the war between the Lords and Dragons and choosing which side to fight on, giving us a fight with a real dragon or with the OG Four (I'd be okay with 3 [fuck 4fags]) Lords in their prime.

But that'd be too good so it never happened.

Thank god someone else thinks Friede is trash. NPC's-as-bosses will never not be trash. Only justification is Halflight, because he's the stand-in for a player if for some reason you can't connect.

And yeah. Gael was the only acceptable Artorias-alike because he was a berserking maniac. Abyss Watchers completely missed the point with their ridiculous greatsword ninja flips despite being normal undead with no monstrous power like the Abyss or the Dark Soul behind them

>>382641241
Apparently New Londo was a prosperous city and they were known for wise rule. He thought he could trust them, and it seemed he could until totes-secretly-the-good-guy Kaathe showed up yet again to ruin fucking everything

>normal undead with no monstrous power like the Abyss or the Dark Soul behind them
>or Dark Soul
ALL of the "normal" undead have the power of the Dark Soul in them which gives them inhuman sytrength and vigor. This is why in the game (you) are able to be cuhrayzeelee ninjaflipping while double-wielding twin Ultragreatswords.

>>382641657

he literally did nothing wrong, it was 4shits who are to blame for fucking everything up because they were gullible self-assured faggots. Fuck 4shits.

Wrrong, abyss watchers work perfectly because they're literally trying their hardest to be like Artorias so they have to use weird techniques shit because they can't move like him

>>382641910
The coalesced and concentrated power of the Dark Soul, rather than just the small piece that every human carries. It's the power of souls, though, that lets normal undead attain inhuman strength, intelligence, faith, whatever (considering that fluff indicates human baseline stats are high-single to low-double digits and as "low" as 19 STR is "Inhuman). Undeath just enables people to harness the power of souls. There's no real indication that the Abyss Watchers spent a significant amount of time building up their strength and dexterity in order to even be capable of using their swords, whereas Gael and Artorias had such a mass of Dark power behind them that it didn't matter (and Artorias was a semi-divine Knight to boot)

>>382642025
Fair point, though that begs the question of why whacky sword-flipping has gone down in legend next to Artorias' name when, as far as we know, exactly one non-abyss-riddled person (the Chosen Undead) fought him like that, whereas all the legends surrounding him involved him using his signature sword and shield. The Abyss Watchers mock Hawkwood for using a shield when a shield should by synonymous with Artorias

>>382643084
They mock hawkwood for the shield because they can't KURAAAAAAAAZEY SPIN with shields
It's all thanks to the dagger

>>382643084
>Artorias had such a mass of Dark power behind
No, because he was not a human.

>>382643674
Manus tore him 6-12 new assholes and corrupted him. He literally draws on dark power to buff himself during the fight.

>>382644146
>tfw Manus gave Arty such a mean dick he can barely stand on his legs and is leaking abyssal cum out every orifice
Anyway memes aside:
>Manus tore him 6-12 new assholes and corrupted him.
He NEVER actually made it to Manus; he got fucked by the abyss and went mad long before.

>>382644462
Did he? Could've sworn he took on Manus and lost. Granted, his arm was mangled and his shield lost by that point, but I was sure he actually fought him

>>382644462
>being so pathetic that you can't even reach manus and get corrupted

>>382644571
>his arm was mangled
abyssal corruption just ate on his arm and eroded it; he was literally one-armed at the point with just an empty gauntlet on the place of his other arm.

>>382644571
>his shield lost by that point
He gave it to protect his dog.
Honestly what a faggot he was. He went to fight Manus knowing that this was the stupidest idea ever AND took Sif with him which got BOTH of them in trouble. So not only he fucked up his "quest of honor" but also put the life of his companion to rick. And retarded fandom still praises him and sucks his dick as if he's some sort of a heroic figure.

>>382644851
Personally that's what makes Artorias so good
He's not some edgy twelve year old bait hero that his autistic fanboys make him out to be, he's a guy that tried and just empowered his enemy in the process
God Artorias fanboys made me hate this kickass boss

Pretty much this. Like all characters in DS, he has his flaws and failures. They're what makes the characters feel real despite being, you know, mythical lightning-slinging demigods or what-have-you. The people who miss all that and jump to "WOW ARTORIAS IS SUCH A BADASS BECAUSE HIS FIGHT IS HARD" completely miss the point

>>382645304
Shiyet. I'd offer to help but I just went into a new NG cycle with my main and none of my characters are close

>>382645554
Well yeah, he wasn't even the hardest fight in that DLC alone, and other bosses like Gael and Nameless have eclipsed him in terms of health and damage potential, but in Artorias' case....I honestly don't know.

Like, if the fanboys were just attracted to the "badassness" of the fluff around them, Ornstein was a successful dragonslayer who we later learned served alongside the Firstborn, Nito's the god of death and doesn't have any of the associated hypocrisy of the other gods, Seath became immortal and invented sorcery in the process, yadda yadda yadda, while Artorias' only known feat was fighting the abyss and losing. It honestly perplexes me why he has so many autistic fanboys. Is the wolf motif really that much of a draw?

>>382640280
>DS
>thematically anime
Artorias of the Abyss is extremely conventional medieval fantasy tale where a nameless adventurer enters the magical land of legends, defeats a corrupt knight and a dragon, and saves the princess from a mad sorcerer. You even have the blind old mentor and enchanted woods.

>>382646554
...and there exists a shitton of anime with the exact same premise.

>>382646706
But ds is different because the nameless adventurer isn't twelve

>>382646761
may as well be depending on the age slider.

>>382645304
That fight lasted for around 13 minutes when I finally took him down solo. Just make sure you kill a specific demon in the first phase which makes the second easier.

>>382646706
Artstyle is not a theme, you dunce. Artorias of the Abyss does not look like anime, unless you are using a bizarre definition that nobody has ever heard of.

>>382646795
Your character still can't be a shoen autistic kid in ds

Hi there.

I like how the artist actually gave them personalities.

>>382649313
>imagine them as a boss that actually is 4 queens with different interesting personalities and full-fledged character and not some lazily copypasted excuse of a "boss" with shit design and barely working fight mechanics
That's how most of Souls bosses are, and Gwyndolin and Friede aren't even the best examples.

>>382645304
He is legitimately harder with help than solo. There is nothing about him that's all that difficult as long as you kill the correct one first, though. That meteor attack the other one does is plain bullshit.

One of the NPC summons is really good for this fight, though... the other is terrible.

>>382637354
what's wrong? You a homo?

>>382646094

Because Artorias is pretty much the Darth Vader of Dark Souls. A dark knight with cool aesthetic and moveset. Not to mention he screamed Guts
