All of DS3 players including a guy who was allowed to go into a Road of Sacrifices confirmed that there's no armor upgrades. And it wasn't a thing in BB and DeS as well.

>"Anyone who has played the second part, the tremendous increase in number will have noticed of weapons and equipment.

That weapon looks so retarded. I've watched that webm like a dozen times now since it was first posted after the embargo and it still look retarded.

It's only slightly less retarded than the Ivory King Ultra Greatsword.

Of all the brand new weapons shown throughout the press/e-celebrity videos, the only one that looks fun is the Great Machete. All the other new weapons look like trash.

>>135846828
That article is pretty trash though, and obviously is just a poorly compilated mishmash of info from the aforementioned kraut interview and the Edge magazine article.

And the way the magic comes out is silly and anime as fuck. The elongated magic blade accentuates how retarded the original blade itself is.

The WA uses the exact same animation as the Bloodletter's special from BB, which was pretty damn decent.
On top of that, you get a massive poise and phys defence bonus during the animation, similar to the Perseverance WA, it's even stated in the weapon description.

This series ain't for you.

>>135848490
Beating the boss gets you the soul to make the Loyce Greatsword, which is probably the best greatsword in the game and one of the best dex weapons. It has 100% dex scaling (making it one of the highest scaling dex weapons) and has the moveset of a longsword when twohanded.

>>135848542
I'm not using it as an argument. I don't think it's bad, I'm just saying that if you don't like it then you don't have to fight it. It was a unique fight that did something different and I liked the experience.

There's a bunch of shit in DaS2 that's optional but is still awful and I don't think is excusable like the Ancient Dragon, Rat Authority etc.

>>135848250
That's nice and all, but why take buffs just to get hit, if you cannot hit back (looks too slow for PvP)

Like I said, it could be faster if wielded by the player, unless there is footage of that also.

>>135842557
What are the most fun bosses to Co-op in DaS2 in your opinion?

Anyone on PC with a SM of around 3mil wanna help me with NG+ Freja? I'm in NG still but want the Moonlight Greatsword. We could also possibly do her in NG++ for CSS.

>>135848276
Hey, we've only seen a very small part of Great Machete's moveset, and, considering that it's also slowed down due to insufficient stats, it's pretty damn fast for what it is: a fucking Greataxe.
>>135848408
>looks weightless
I dunno, he visibly struggles to swing it once the frost blade appears, and swings it more like a greatsword.
>Shit like the Obsidian Greatsword or the Dragon Greatsword had flashy moves but they had good weight behind them.
They were also really slow and had recovery frames, so almost noone ever bothered to use their flashy moves.

>>135848558
Not at all. You can drop down from the entrance to the rat area to another ledge and keep going to reach the Gutter etc.

I'm on a magic build so my int is 35 but even still, Moonlight doesn't seem that powerful. Should I say fuck it and make it raw as well? It'll surpass the Bluemoon then.

like in loyce i got invaded by some rapier fuckhead that just chased me around the map for a few minutes because he did almost no damage and wasnt a threat
meanwhile i got invaded again heading to ivory king and got teleported and stabbed for all my health, every status effect, and broke all my gear while his phantom was still spawning in
and red soapstone summons are always meta tryhards that i cant even scratch and kill me in 3 swings with no chance at retaliation

I've never played Bloodborne, but I'm pretty sure this dude is right. Long-range pokes always win in Souls PvP.

I've pretty much mained Dragon Form for PvP after I discovered it a couple months after Dark Souls came out in 2011.

The fact that the Roar is a free version of force that gives you a damage buff makes it STUPID good. You can easily break the guard of someone shielding and then toss a pyromancy or crossbow shot their way.

I roll with a +5 Lightning Avelyn w/ Lightning Bolts, and a Leo Ring. Easiest way to punish chuggers, turtlers, parry spammers, and magic.

Starting class is Pyromancer, 50 vit, 40 end, 16 str, 14 dex, rest is base. SL 79, I just use cracked red eye orbs to invade people.

If you wanted to use the Obsidian Greatsword w/ it, you could up STR to 20 and DEX to 16 for a total SL of 85.

Dark Souls pretty much is a fighting game already. You have zoning, hitconfirm pokes into combos, okizeme, etc.
Backstabs are basically grabs/throws, which is why everyone gets super salty if you do one twice in a row in either Souls or any fighting game.

>untechable
>backstabs
wakeup ravioli says hello

>>135852362
Backstabs are a pissoff because they're an instant untechable throw in a game where you can't jump, and where the netcode mishandles it to the point where the fact that the game has confirmed that you have already been grabbed and can do nothing to prevent this fact often occurs before the grabbing player has even moved behind you. You can't iframe the 'grab confirmation' packet when it reaches your client, and in fact there's absolutely nothing that can be done on your end to prevent that packet from putting you into a grab.

If any fighting game had a grab that behaved like that over netcode, nobody would play that game online ever.

Also souls games don't have any real okizeme beyond backstab chaining (which is absolute trash. If chain-grabbing someone out of wakeup was possible in any fg, nobody would play it) and meaty rng spells like firestorm, which rely entirely on luck and can be easily shut down and punished by guarding.

Basically all souls games pvp have is spacing and footsies, and those are largely invalidated by having no local multiplayer and abysmally shitty netcode. It's less of a fighting game than smashbros.

Like there literally isn't a way out, you can only jump to the other platform which is a dead end

>>135853773
when you wake up there's many ways to avoid chain

stand still - this gives you backstab immunity for a second or two, enough to make them whiff their chain attempt and you can escape or punish

barrel roll out

normal roll but to an angle

roll into someone

backstep

cancel with a fast wep

now it's the same as any oki situation in a fighting game, you're dealing with a mixup

a certain type of chain beats a certain type of defense ie

if you barrel roll on wake up to avoid a standing chain, this will be beat by a strafing chain or a rolling chain

if you stand still to make them whiff their standing chain or parry bs, they can beat this by delaying. if they delay and you instantly rolled out you've got away so.

lots of mixups, lots of solutions and lots of punishes for each solution. it's a guessing game, it comes down to mindgames at a high level.

try to understand that parry bs isn't a magical extension for chaining, it's simply overriding parry frames with your chain. the timing for the chain is the EXACT same as without the parry, it just means you can mash r1 to make the timing easier. it still gets beat by standing still.

The new movesets are nice, but the powerstance mechanic was fundamentally better, allowing for a huge range of cool weapon combos to be viable.

Backstabs can still be whiffed like in 2

Especially since, lacking any way of playing locally, a pre-emptive tech requires you to tech before there's any indication that a tech is necessary. You don't just have to pre-empt, you have to predict, and your prediction has to be accurately far enough ahead to align almost exactly with the amount of delay is present at that point in time across the connection, which in souls netcode is usually no less than 50ms and more typically around 120+

If you walked into a room of fg players and claimed you were good because you win consistently with 50ms of delay and have never played an offline match, they'd all laugh at you. Even the cannonfodder sf nigs that don't really know how to play fg would laugh at you. Hell, even the weeaboos that buttonmash in uniel would laugh at you.

Did you never watch a single Hannah Barbera cartoon in your childhood? Most people have a reflex for investigating conspicuously discolored bits of scenery from those.

Dark Souls 3 doesn't have instant backstabs, you retard

DS3 backstab system is way better than retarded back punch.
Now you can actually get punished for doing stupid shit bro. Are you mad? Don't you worry, it's not like you can't go back to DS2 and stay there.

>Want a Blue Flame build

I miss being able to run everywhere like DaS 1. Luckily I seem to always get 1 million SM way before getting all the Lord souls

>>135854429
Just because you can escape it doesn't mean that it's techable. You can escape a throw with a backstep. They still would be oppressively strong if you wouldn't be able to tech them.

instead of a vagina, you'd be fucking a cloaca, which handles copulation, urination and defecation all at once. So it'd be like fucking a filthy, unwashed asshole that's also stained with half-dried urine, but is much looser and has an uncomfortably course texture and carries the risk of the host losing bowel or bladder control at any point and showering you and your genitals with their biological filth.

>Instant backstabs
They aren't instant hit like DaS1. They are just a faster version of DaS2's system.

Instead of doing a punch beforehand, you start the stab animation and that animation has to hit in order for the backstab to register.

It's just an improvement on the DaS2 system.

My tax return is coming back soon, and after i invest in my CD, pay off some of my loan and whatnot, i will have like $400 back plus some spending money i already have.

Should i get a ps3 for demon souls, neir and drakenguard 3 and a second monitor for my pc, or a ps4 and bloodbourne?

or both?

>>135855007
Backstabs don't lock you itno place, you can roll away even after the other player has begun the stabbing animation. You could see it several times during the NT footage, just too lazy to look it up for you now famalam.

>>135855069
it's not a mechanic built around teching. it has a defense and the defense is not a tech. drop your fucking tech bullshit.

>>135854770
Souls pvp would be an entirely different situation on a LAN or something, though

> it comes down to mindgames at a high level.

Holy shit. This entire post is hilarious. Thanks for the copypasta.

I'm gonna have fun posting this in fighting game threads.

PS4 for bloodborne and Dark souls 3

>>135853726
Dark Souls actually had a pretty decent oki game for most of its lifespan, only invalidated relatively recently by parry chaining.
Chainstab beat their roll away but lost to regular getup and parry/fast attacks
Kick beat their attacks/parry but let them roll away
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsp6k4830a0

The problem is that parry chain beats everything but unlock and point your back away from them while still invulnerable so the rps is fucked up too far in the chainer's favor

Not really. Not after you would kick their arses, because a good online player would be a good offline player easily.
