The souls community is very weird in the sense that every game has its hardcore fans and they consider the other entries to be absolute garbage. it's like every game has its own fanbase that despises the other games and the fanbases of the other games.

Except for Demon's Souls, because back then the community was small and chill(at least here on /v/), and i guess it still is.

in dark souls 1 and 2 you use moves based on their properties (e.g thrust attacks on a longsword in tight spaces, step forward attacks on the broadsword to help close gaps etc). weapons feel different and have strengths and weaknesses in terms of their actual properties not just damage, swingspeed and range

in dark souls 3 you just mash r1 because everything gets stunlocked and its the most efficient way of dealing damage, every weapon feels the same, every playthrough feels the same, every enemy feels the same to fight against, no build variety because all magic is trivialised by rolling and the bosses have bloodborne movesets so you have to be able to spam rolls to beat the game

uh, no, I know the other side is meming, but DaS3 has atrocious weapon variety and balance, greatswords, in their entirety were rendered useless since straight swords deal same or more damage, have longer range (with phantom range) and are quicker.
so you only either see straight or ultra greatswords.

>>385923982
Are das3 messages really that lame?

I enjoyed how in the older games you used broken English to try and create new phrases outside the available words

>>385923772
Anyone who has any familiarity of any weapon they are using have already learned the timing of attack between rolls to land hits. The only exception to this is when they use the dodge skill on the specific weapon being used, which costs FP.

Some weapons are obviously better at punishing rolling than others, and there are plenty for all builds available for use. Even the Caestus, which is available for all classes, can be enchanted or attuned to your build and be exceptional at punishing rolling.

here are my thoughts
Bloodborne is my favourite, i just prefer action games over RPGs, and the emphasis on offense and action really clicked with me.
also the setting and story are both fantastic

Dark Souls 2 however doesnt try to hide itself as an Action game.
it added ADP as an stat, it has the most armor sets and weapons in the entire series. if you are into RPGs Dark Souls 2 should be your favourite... it also has the most clichee fantasy setting in the entire series

i can appreciate demons souls for being the first, i also think it play really nicely for some reason.

the rest are kind meh, both dark souls 1 and 3 didnt do it for me and i stopped playing dark souls 1 halfway through.

that being said, i am REALLY looking forward to trying Nioh once there is some kind of GOTY edition, that game seems like my kind of jam, fast paced action with diablo esque loot.

/blog over

>>385923982
There's a massive amount of weapon variation, with more variation in each type of weapon to boot. Want an axe and boost strength, dodge, unique attack, even charge? There's an axe for that. Want a spear than charges, shoots lightning out of the tip, summons lightning from the sky, launch it out and get it back, or even boost your attack damage and your allies? There's a spear for that.

To say Dark souls 3's weapon variety is basically fucking retarded in all aspects.

>>385923137
Anyone who mashes R1 is immediately predictable and easily parryable and vulnerable to people timing when you run out of stanima, not to mention knowing the times in-between attacks when they are vulnerable.

The only stunlock of any weapon lasts for 2 hits, and only if it is the first, 3rd (and so on arethmatically) attack, otherwise they can immediately get out or parry.

Weapon skill usage between every range of size per weapon, magic/pyromancy/miracle usage allows for fucktons of good combinations. Just because all are good in their own way doesn't mean they are all the same.

Magic is one of the best PVP tools in the game. Understanding forced roll-timing and variation in attack can make a spellcaster near unstoppable. For example, using homing soulmass and charging in while it forces them to roll allows for any usage of weapons or spells (like soul greatsword, has an incredibly high chance of doing what is basically free damage), rollpunishing hard and killing quick.

Shields in DS3 are as strong as ever, and preserverance gives a metric ton of armor if you want to simply tank attacks and ignore knockbacks and staggers, making it incredibly useful for big enemies as well as small.

Not him
I have a lot of problems with both games' combat systems. The only thing that keeps DaS2 low on my list is because it feels like the combat is fighting against you. It's just so clunky and the mocap is godawful. I can feel mister takahashi-san swallowing his pride with each swing of his styrofoam weapons while his coworkers laugh at his slow awkward movements but hopefully he gets the promotion he desperately needs to move his wife and kids out of their current one bedroom home. I respect its builds and the leaning towards using your weapon's full moveset but pressing buttons just feel like complete ass.
I hate DaS3's 120 i-frames, R1 mash, zero stamina management, copy/paste weapon arts, terrible greasy colors, etc, but at least it feels playable.

I'm fine with that but it has hack and slash enemy numbers. I can avoid battles in rpgs by either using some sort of monster repellant, talking my way out, or running away from an enemy that doesn't chase you for miles. DaS2 throws too many enemies in your path. Like the run to the horse boss in Huntsman Copse. Running is not an option, you will absolutely die at the fog door from the 7 enemies on your ass. So now you have to waste 10 minutes+resources each time you want to take on the boss. That's just one example, there are other areas that are even worse.

I enjoyed what they did with the story of 2, especially the ending because it is in line with dark souls 1, giving you the benefit of the doubt and piquing your interest about a possible third choice that might involve simply abandoning the pretense of power, kings, light or dark, simply becoming the most powerful being in the world, full of souls and fucking off to do your own thing, leaving the throne sealed off and seeking a real cure for the hollows (which is hinted to be the completed crown that literally stops the curse)

Which would normally be fine, because pretty much all attack have different parts of their hit-box inflict different damage. That jab hit from the elbow/hilt does very low damage (which makes sense), however the combination of the weapon inflicting bonus magic damage (magic damage is always a static +bonus damage regardless of what part of the hitbox makes contact) and the player obviously wearing no armor and levelling no stamina basically makes it a one shot regardless.

It's how the mechanics of the game work.

My personal favourite souls game is Bloodborne with DS3 being a very close second, but this doesn't automatically make DS2 shit. Everyone knows DS2 flaws, it doesn't automatically make it a bad game. It was a hell of a lot better than other stuff that came out that year.

>Ass Creed: Unity

All these games that were mediocre at best and yet people still choose to hate on DS2.

Have you tried no shields, or dual wielding shields only?

Try a Grim Reaper run, they're fun. The rules are:

>have to use gold hemmed black set and the great scythe
>no shields, 2h the scythe only
>no magic or pyromancies allowed
>have to kill every NPC on sight (you're allowed ot use each vendor/smith once before killing them).

It forces you to really consider the route you take, can be fun for returning players. It's the most fun I've had in a playthrough that I can remember. No panning the camera away from people to cheat either.

>>385936758

>Also a fucking executioner chariot horsey in drangleic castle, what the fuck was that?

Fucking hilarious is what is was. One of the best things of playing SOTFS was getting surprised by new enemy placements.

Nice screenshot anon, what are your favourite things about DaS2? I'd like to try playing it again

No matter which game is your favorite Majula was objectively the most comfy hub.

Nexus from DeS is close second though

>>385920204
I beat both of them a week ago and honestly, they're all garbage.

>>385937404
Firelink was comfiest, maybe not at first but once you had a few people sat around the fire it was nice. Majula's atmosphere didn't suit Dark Souls at all.

Not him but I always found firelink depressing since everyone either goes insane or starts killing each other.

Majula is comfiest since you're bringing together a ragtag band of autists who have all lost their way and are trapped in a decaying kingdom full of death and madness and coming together to offer each other the faintest semblance of solace.

If the NPCs would've interacted with each other more (ie. Blacksmith and his daughter) Majula would've been GOAT.

It suited dark souls, though. You're all sat around a dying fire at the end of the world living your last sane moments together. You're all aware it's a brief respite and that once you leave you'll be walking to your death. At the same time, whenever you return and hear the music it's comfy and a small moment of calm. DS2 just had "exhaust dialogue until I go sit in Majula and become a vendor for the rest of the game".

Are you guys gonna start posting webms of the problems that every single entry shared? We get it, you hate the Souls series.

>>385937998
I'd say DaS2 suited the series though. Just because everyone doesn't die or leave doesn't mean it doesn't fit into the themes of the game.

Majula is bathed in eternal sunrise symbolic of the beginning of your journey. Yet the village is half destroyed and derelict being a microcosm of the decay of Drangleic giving off the feeling that you're passing through a once great kingdom. Everyone that arrives in Majula is autistically obsessed with something or has lost their memory, further reminding you of the damning effects of the curse. Despite being very "comfy" as you say, there's an underlying aura of uneasiness as its the last vestige of sanity and civilization in a world that has died a long time ago.

>>385938219

I don't think any other game in the series has such a blatantly bad hitbox, the iron golem webm just doesn't compare.

As in, just an excuse to have a bad hitbox? That does not make it any better, there's not even any implication that the attack has an aoe from a visual effect or something after you've been hit.

Dark Souls was always shit. Even the first game, which is painfully rushed and unfinished after Anor Londo. DaS2 is sloppily designed garbage and DaS3 is unremarkable.

There will never be a perfect Souls game unless Miyazaki starts a new subseries with a third-party publisher that isn't Bandai Namco and can offer the same creative freedom as Sony Japan.

tb.h dks2 does have the best messages

Bloodborne had the funnest weapons, there's just not many of them.

>tfw doing low level belltower invasions with a great magic weapon and crystal infused Old Whip, plus Soul Spear

No souls game has had magic as satisfying as DS2.

I liked 3 more than 2, but holy hell was the dlc in 2 way better than 3

Are you actually retarded?

Have you no sense of bearing at all?

If you pay attention to the direction the path takes you, you'll notice the castle keeps to the same exact place. You're just a complete retard.

I suggest you bring up the brightness before making another webm just so you don't lose your compass heading.

>>385941108
yeah it's not you that's bad for not being able to learn how the game controls

it's the game's fault

>>385941440
By refuting what points, and how?

>>385941440
I like DaS2 but a lot of his points are just retarded.

>>385941050
It really did, every weapon in DS3 just feels like a reskin of one of a handful of things and they all did the same fucking damage.

Those and the constant, borderline audacious "we don't give a fuck" moments kept me from dropping the game.

It's less about "no fucks" and more that they had to remake the game twice apparently.

>>385928095
>"works for me" isn't much of an argument against a clearly visible (and feelable) issue.
Expect it isnt an issue because I play the same way
Literally git gud

>>385941705
It just doesn't feel the same with an actual skybox.

>>385941702
Sorry I'm not autistic enough to sit and watch an hour long video because some idiot says "it makes e-celeb look like a fool!"

>>385941440
Matthewmatosis still fucking said he would rather play DaS2 than most other games, everyone took that critique video to mean he hates it when that obviously isn't the case. Same with his DeS video, just because he said DeS does things better doesn't mean he thinks the other games are shit. I hate you faggots.

why did they make dark souls 3 so linear

Dark Souls 2 SotFS looks really fantastic in some areas thanks to the improved lighting

And yet nearly every quality issue in vanilla is still in SotfS - the DEFINITIVE version.

"Comfy" isn't only a meme word, you know. It's a common word in England, at least in the North. It just means comfortable.

How the fuck do people notice shit like this only in Dark Souls 2? Two minutes into Yharnam you can find nonsensical windows. There's even blatantly missing geometry by the two beast hunstman down the stairs from gascoigne.

I just don't understand. This shit is not worth pointing out, it's in most games period.
