There's nothing wrong with the hitbox you moron, your whole arm and half your head are inside the thing. The attack hits you. What looks wrong is just the idea that a grab would work from that angle, it's a confusing animation, not a bad hitbox.

I mean, grab hitboxes have sucked in every fromsoft game. They don't have a smooth transition between a hitbox clip and getting put into the grab, so it looks like you just warp into it.

What they should do is instead of warping you, the "grab" attack should make you prone and then the enemy should adjust to where you are and then perform the grab animation.

Then there'd be no warping and people would complain less.

Oh shit, that's a whitebark branch, that was also used to craft the Oolacile Ivory Catalyst.

>>134868281
It's one of those problems which doesn't have a perfect solution to it, because you can't just have infinite or procedurally generated grabbing animations that smoothly grab and pull the character from any possible position. The best they could do would be to have some checks in which cause the attack to knock down or deal damage instead of grabbing from certain angles, but then you have to do something completely new which is to check the angle and position of the player relative to the mob rather than just checking if the hitbox collides, and that could lead to entirely different whackiness.

>>134869642
"Little Dusk" is probably some folktale that is based on her.

So, I assume it'll be possible to fight people who play the PC version whilst on the PS4/Xbone version, and same for PC anons vs. consoles?

If so, then instead of shitposting over who's better via MUH HARDWARE/60FPS and so forth, figure out who's the best the old-fashioned way: Fight/PvP with each other to see which platform is truly the best.

Once you prove it that way who's the best, THEN you can post smug animu grills all you like.

You know what? You guys are absolutely right. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that hitbox. If you're on the left side of a monster and the monster stretches its right arm to his right side to grab something, it makes sense that he would grab you, who were on its left side all along and never moved from there. Absolutely nothing wrong with the hitbox there.

What? No he touched the golems hitbox, which is basically the entirety of that golems hand.

The same way he touched the golems hitbox, which is his chest.

I was just showing him that the way grab hitboxes work in from games is that if you touch any part of that hitbox for even a single frame, you're going to warp into place for the grab.

The problem isn't the hitbox, it's that they don't have a reasonable way to perform the transition.

>>134871074
That's even more fun to do with the big guys

>>134871050

I didn't think it was much of an improvement either. Only good thing it did was allow you to obtain the Dull Ember early.

>>134871050
The improvements are solely mechanical and don't even address all the problems people had with the game to begin with (mainly because making those changes would essentially require rebuilding far too much of the game). Otherwise it's pretty much the exact same game with worse PvE.

At least I only paid 2$ for Scholar of the First Sin.

So if Dusk's catalyst became a seedling for three white birch trees, could it mean that the area with the giant shooting greatarrows at you before the giant tree boss is where Darkroot was? There is a white birchtree right by there and Siegward notes that it is a white birchtree.

Then again, it's probably just more callbacks and connections and not literally the same area where Dusk was.

You might not have been hit if you lowered your shield. The shield hitbox has always been huge(outwards too) in the souls games.

>>134871897
It's hard to actually tell where there's unit collision there or not. It looks like the guardstun animation plays very offset from when the actual hit occurs. You lose stamina the moment it passes, but don't actually go into the animation until the attack is almost over.

Will I be able to twink in Dark Souls 3?

I want to slam newfags in the early areas of the game with gear they have no hope of beating and make them quit.

I want to be a twink summon, too. I want to see those words '___ has invaded!' and ready my endgame gear to ruin his day and then taunt his corpse with gestures until he gets to the loading screen.

I want to make as many people quit as I can so that I can complain about only ever invading gank squads, hackers or, I shudder to think, players who are evenly matched with me.

If there isn't Bloodborne/Demon's Souls levels of connectivity in the specific areas, I'm going to be upset. I know BB and DS had hubs, but the areas themselves were intricately designed and interconnected. I miss getting lost in the tunnels of Stonefang or the Forbidden Woods.

I love being able to see an area early in the game and wonder what it is, then later on explore it, especially if it's a secret/optional area.

Please don't let each path lead to a dead end like Dark Souls 2.

Sure, it was hard to actually land hits with the thing. And it weighed a ton. And it broke after four hits. And it required a large stat investment. But it was beating monscimmy parry spammers so it HAD to be nerfed.

Those aren't the only things that exist in the DLC, anon. I would to go shulva asap to get the bow, brume tower for the caestus, EL for the easy to find gear + the first bonfire which shortens the run to drangleic castle.

More importantly, the DLC houses the only part of the game that isn't nearly a chore to play through.

Bloodborne fortunately doesn't have this problem.

>>134873283

Is that how it was in Dark Souls?
Or was Dark Souls 10 levels + some percent?

I'VE TRIED LIKE A MILLION TIMES BUT I ALWAYS LAND INFRONT OF IT AND FALL DDOWN

>>134873082
In Bloodborne, you couldn't be invaded until you'd reached a certain level (30, IIRC) which basically blocked earlygame areas from being invadable at all and meant that 'twinking' just amounted to invading players about halfway through the game.

DaS3 will likely have a similar system in place, with a minimum level before you can be invaded to prevent High Wall twinks from camping out all day.

Consequently, I expect the Undead Settlement to be a shitshow, as that'll probably be where people are a high enough level to be invaded, and is also the nexus point where all of the game's major paths converge. Twinks will be hitting fresh players that've just killed Vordt, as well as nearly endgame characters that are just looking for the path to the last lord.

BB's forest was neat, but BB as a whole is not that big geographically if you exclude nightmares.

reminder that the DaS2 map didn't show half the areas in the actual game

>>134874053

This map kind of worries me.
I hope the areas are extensive or this doesn't list them all or something. They're all clumped together and the area with the tree on the map looks decently big but in game it's pretty short.

Unless this is just a stylized map and these are the icons, looking much closer together than they really are because they've been enlarged for detail.

Like how JRPG sprites look as big as trees and shit on the worldmap.

The generic, 'lmao scraping spear, adjudicator's shield regen ring build to kill noobs and break their gear xD' invaders will always be waiting to invade you after Phalanx.

And you'll run into the same build when you fight Old Monk if you don't go offline. It's the build everyone goes to to mess with new players because they can destroy your gear and run away to regen all their health if you do manage to hit them.

Seriously, creativity in PVP builds is one thing Demon's Souls lacked. Dual Katana pushing, the above mentioned build, DBS and your choice of weapon buff.

I did get some co-op at the start of Stonefang.

Well, Miyazaki is the one who designs the worlds. He says it's his favorite part of creating the game. So at least we'll have some cool level design.

About game length, here's what Miyazaki said:

>“There’s always the temptation to make a sequel bigger in size – doing so can effectively attract fans,” he says. “But I don’t personally believe we have to do it. The size of this game is about the same as Dark Souls II, maybe even a little smaller, but because we took advantage of the next-gen consoles, there’s so much more complexity and depth there. The game may feature fewer areas, but you can never say it’s not enough.”

It's from his interview on Edge if someone wants the source.

"a little smaller" than 2 is still a fucking massive game. 2 dwarfed the other games in the series and was almost twice as big as BB. If 3 is going to be as dense as BB and only 'slightly' smaller than 2, it's going to be fucking huge.

What the fuck, why do people say this is shit. It's got insane base damage with no scaling and ridiculous poise. I'm rolling with it on a vitgouge m,age and using light weapon and it's hitting like truck.

Also cool as shit design.

Siegmeyer was killed by his daughter.
Siegward has a different VA, doesn't he?

Andre is definitely a returning character (and a ghost at that), but you should really look up everything we know thus far before discussing this any further.

No wonder, man

>>134880052
Siegmeyer was a hollow.

Use Reshade.

>killed
He's undead though. The whole point of the undead asylum is a place to put undead since they can't be killed

>>134880145
I guess you're right about that. I watched all the videos the different YT people made that got to play the first 4 hours but not much else. Is there other stuff now?

>>134880215
Hollows can die for good. See virtually every NPC in DS1 that goes hollow and DS2 which introduced extinction.

>>134880215

And now he's perfectly sane again?
Why was it treated as a final, sad moment when his daughter killed him if he's just gonna respawn and go on his merry way.

If he was fully hollowed, he wouldn't be acting so lucid in 3.

That's just my take on it, anyway.

Oh wait, I forgot It's OK When Miyazaki Does It

Okay, but the argument still stands that if he's a mindless hollow and that's why his daughter kills him, why would he be back to normal in Dark Souls 3 and change one syllable of his name?

I think he's just a reincarnation or a throwback to Siegmeyer or maybe even a descendant.

But if he's hollow and had to be put down in Dark Souls 1, he wouldn't be a normal, sane individual again in Dark Souls 3.

And if he wasn't mindless, then why did his daughter feel like she had to kill him?

>>134880417
Perhaps he found a reason to live, again.

I fucking love it when people actually post this seriously

>>134880519
this has been explained 1000 times over

>>134880417
I wouldn't say he's perfectly sane as he forgot his own name. But I think if you leave a corpse alone long enough and maybe shove a couple humanity into it, it will get up and start walking again.

>>134880271
vaati got extra time past his initial video, not sure if you've seen those since there's another DS1 clone in there you didn't mention

Not only that, he's getting the japanese copy in 13 days

>>134880847
DS2 didn't even have to follow any rules, but the primary difference is that DS2's case is an huge oversight as a result of the original map being fucked silly and the final one being strung together as quickly as possible.

One takes places in a world that obeys the laws of reality, and the other takes place in an alternate reality created by freaky space gods using bits and pieces of our reality, but warped. You even step through a massive and ornate clock adorned with various eldritch runes. Much more elaborate than a rickety elevator.

Not to mention when you look into the water in the Hamlet you can see the skyline of the Nightmare City beneath the water, suggesting that the entirety of the Hamlet is on a higher plane.

The two transitions are entirely incomparable, but it was a valiant effort.

You massive fucking faggot.
