Is anyone here gonna risk using a vpn to get the game faster?

So Great Corvian Scythe is Lifehunt Scythe 2.0?

Is there a Bloodshield thing in this game? Anything other than Bloodbite Ring?

Does the PC version of DS3 let you set the resolution below 1080, or is that the minimum?

So i'm about to finish up Dark Souls 1.

Should I even bother with DS 2 or should I just skip ahead to Bloodborne and then DS3?

If I get DS2 is there any reason for me to bother with the PS4 version of Scholar of the First sin? I can pirate it for free on my PS3

>>138353939
Skip DaS2 and BB and play DaS3 with everyone else

>>138353867
I haven't seen anything below 1080 in any screenshot, but there could be such an option. Who knows. Maybe something like dsfix or gedosato will come out and it will allow us to set the rendering resolution lower than our monitor's resolution.

I like ds2 but I would recommend it. just go for bloodborne

>>138353939
Having just finished 2 yesterday and 1 before, it's a decent souls game, but you won't lose anything from skipping it for 3. Especially considering how so many people are saying 3 is the best.

>>138353939
Ds3 is around the corner, so go straight to 3. Then you can play bb after you're burned out with 3. Skip 2 completely.
Just don't miss ds3 during its peak.

Play DaS3 with the day 1 release hype and come back to DaS2 and BB later after you've played DaS3.

SotFS on 360 was pretty great. It fucks up some of the things that DaS1 did so well, like attack animations(RIP greataxes), but it's still an excellent game.

The DX11 version of SotFS supposedly has really fucked enemy placements, where every area is just infested with tons of random shit.

>>138354167
3 would be the best if it wasn't so fucking short

So does anyone have any idea why covenants are such shit in this one? Is the day one patch guna fix them or are we just stuck with two useless ones and two that do the exact same thing?

Anyone else feel DS2 could of benefitted from having more shortcuts in the levels?

>>138354143

To whomever was wondering about the Silver Knight armor, here's the full set.

>>138354329
Whoa there buddy

Why are you even playing video games at that point, gramps?

If a purplebro invades, do they take up an invader slot, or a generic slot?

If they take up a generic slot, can we get 5 purplebros?

>>138354284
No, after playing it over and over in PvE it's just crappy map settings and no one around to play with.

>>138354371
Is that just the R2 like DaS?

The fuck do you think vacation days are for? They're there to let you not come into work and do something you enjoy instead.

>>138354449
Invader slot as fat as I know.

The only souls game i played was bloodborne and i want to play ds3

Is parrying like doing a visceral attack and is it easier/harder to do?

>>138354430
Oh, fuck's sake, I had the Black Knight chestpiece on like an idiot.

>>138354449
They're normal invaders except they take damage from NPC enemies

>>138354371
Slow as fuck. I like mlgs in ds2 but even that was clunky most of the time.

Anyone know if your name displayed to other players will be your account name or your character name?

NERF Havel estoc

>>138354430
That looks pretty fucking nice.

>>138354639
There's a toggle where players can decide to see either usernames or character names.

>>138354580
So then how have we got people talking about scenarios where they've got >2 Invaders at once?

Or are they just bullshitting and they summoned purples?

Can you kill Yuria for her armor before you kill the final boss and still get the usurpation of fire ending?

>>138354208
>tfw I can't because we are short staffed

Can't wait to play DaS3 tho!

>>138354736

What I saw on a stream was you could fill in your displayname however you wanted in the menu. Was I tripping?

>>138354836
But anon the game releases simultaneously globally.

It won't release at countries at the international date line before the rest of the world.

Invasions, coop, fight clubs and lots of fun. You will probably have problems going back to 2, since it's not that good when compared to 3. As for bloodborne, no, you won't have any problems at all. In fact, some people like bb more than das3, so maybe you'll like it even more. Who knows. But don't miss das3 at its peak.

>>138355797

It's honestly pretty jarring and poorly thought out design, like they had to cut out an actual pathway between Eclipse Firelink and the new kiln area and replaced it with another warp instead.

It makes it hard to like the area when you get the vague sense something went wrong with it in design.

Is it just me or is this game already boring?

I played like 700 hours of BB and made a whole heap of builds.
I feel like the build variety in DaS3 is actually LESS than it. In BB each weapon was so specialized and particular and required so much moveset mastery that each weapon was practically a build with it's own ideal gem setups and combos.

DaS3 I mained a quality build first off, a Luck build second, and a Mage third and I feel like that's basically it.
Quality is so damn stupid in this game because it makes you a master at literally 90% of the weapons. It's one build to rule many weapons, there's no special building around one weapon here. It's just "get 40 in STR/DEX and walah.

Same with magic. It's just "Go 60 INT to shoot the same old soul arrows you've gotten bored of since DeS" or "Go 60 FAI to shoot the same old lightning spears you've done since DaS1" or "Get 30/30 and go Fire Orbs and Dark stuff like you did before".
Luck is essentially "Use Anri's Sword and X Hollow weapon + Bleed resin, GG"
If I scrounge it up further, I can I guess turn a faith build into a "Blessed Build" but that's pushing it, they're the same thing anyway.

Poison build doesn't exist, Dex build doesn't exist, STR build doesn't even exist, STR Quality blows it out of the water easily.

Whip build? Fist builds? Both gimped and shit.

Pretty sad desu. I've literally already done all this game has to offer in the few short weeks before the actual worldwide release came out.
Did this happen with ANY of the other games?

If you're wanting to get into the PvP in 3, feel free to take it at your own pace while unkindled until you think you have a decent build, then head over to the designated fight club area.

Usually casual PvP there.

Is there a small white sign soapstone? That thing is among the best ideas DS2 has offered the series.

>>138357021
That's what Australians sound like anon.

So what's the point of the mound-makers if hosts can tell that you're one of them before summoning you? Who would willingly summon you that wouldn't if you were just using a red soapstone normally? It also seems that invading as one doesn't change anything except making you hostile to other invaders. So is it just an intentional hardmode thing then?

Add to that the fact he ends up saying some of the dumbest shit when he doesn't have lore ready at hand for him to copy. Part of the problem is that he just is not a good analyst, he doesn't actually get the lore until it is explained to him, so he is almost entirely reliant on his plagiarism.

To be fair, DaS1 and DaS2 patches both had patch notes consistently. Especially all of DaS1's, even the ones that never actually got a western release and only the Japs got to play with them in play first.

Such cases include the "sorry, we broke summoning" patch, the "we broke summoning again" patch and the "summoning works again now" patch, for Jap-exclusive patches. Ring of Fog etc etc's balance changes had patch notes, too

In DaS you can become human by consuming a point of "Humanity".

While human you can summon / be invaded, and have slightly improved defence / item discovery up to 10 soft humanity.

While hollow you look like beef jerky.

In DaS2 you can be invaded at any time and suffer a health penalty every time you die until you become human.

You can summon while human, and some small events are active while human/hollow.


In DaS3, we're no longer undead, we're "Unkindled", which is functionally the same as DaS, except we don't look like beef jerky.

>>138358093
It's the same respawning mechanic, the only difference is you turn into an rotting corpse when you die and have to use a consumable to turn back into human. You can only summon while in human form.

I know theres something about being in human form and you change that somehow, and then there's some stuff when you die you lose health because something something

DaS1 really had a rough life, especially for its connectivity. I still remember one of those early patches where summoning was kinda broken in Japan so it delayed us getting the big balance fix sooner. 2ch had images of the floors of Anor Londo filled with summon signs which seemed neat compared to how scarce they were early on, just for all of them to fail endlessly

You know you can pretty much do a quality, "master of 90% of weapons" build in Bloodborne, too, right? The only thing stopping you is maybe the rarity of Blood Rocks and the necessity to farm good blood gems if you want to get through NG+ easily and PvP.

And be honest with yourself: was there really that much build variety in ANY of these games? DaS1 is the same: you can comfortably make an SL 120 quality build that can use 90% of the weapons at full effectiveness, no problem. By that metric, there aren't any STR or DEX builds, right?

I mean, yes, sure, it's always been a goal to make AI that can learn and ultimately replicate itself. That, however, is left to the dudes at Google, Boston Dynamics, and other big entities that study and improve this kind of shit. That, however, does not a necessary characteristic of AI. You can have AI that is "dumb" as shit and doesn't learn anything. The autopilot some cars and most planes have doesn't learn jack fucking squat outside of what it's programmed to and it is still an AI. A robot sorting boxes in a factory (>>>/wsg/1030854) still has an AI, even though it's not capable of learning anything on its own.

>>138358428

DS1: You can summon and not look like Beef jerky in human form. You lose a bit of curse reisistance and item discovery but otherwise no downsides to hollow form

DS2: You lose 10% of your health each time you die until you turn into a green zombie. Turning Human sets your health to max

DS3: No human or hollow form unless you do a special quest line. Being embered gives you a 30% health boost and lets you summon.

Infusing a weapon just increases the scaling in favor of your chosen infusion.

Yeah, I'm shooting for like 50 Faith. I know it's not ideal (that'd be 60) but I'm planning on this being more of a hybrid than an infused weapon/casting build, and Sunlight Spear can one-shot players point-blank even at like 45 Faith apparently.

Do you think 30 Dex is enough in this case? Otherwise I'm going to have to have like 30 Vigor which seems really low.

You seem to be missing something here.

Machine learning is a feature that an AI could have. It is not a defining trait of an AI. The defining trait of AI is that it mimics human intellect and just one of the ways it can mimic human intellect is by machine learning.

A door can have a lock. Doors that do not have locks are still doors. The defining trait of a door is that it opens and closes, not that it locks.

Dark souls 3 is a boring, shitty game which rehashes stuff to appease fanboys while bringing nothing new of worth to the game

I don't want to necessarily spoil locations/traps/bosses/etc., but is there anything you wish you knew before you started playing?

You know, minor bullshit things that can't easily be undone. Something along the lines of "this stat is useless, don't level it", "do not select this class", "do not select this dialog option with this NPC because it locks you into some bullshit that can't be undone", "don't choose to use that boss item to craft this useless weapon, save it for something else", etc.
