First time I've seen this actual death animation after being thrown by the Stray Demon.

Kinda wish they threw it in for PvP-related deaths like getting hit by a UGS strong stab attack.

Anyone else need to grind for Mound Makers?

Just summon Thomas, if only because he's one of the most certified badass phantoms in the entire series and everyone should see him truck the shit out of Mytha at least once.

imagine how good this weapon would be if it have perseverance instead of shitty ass galvanize

What is better for ambushing my gf behind with my thrusting sword: Leo Ring or Hornet Ring?

As someone who missed out on DS2 entirely for a while, finally decided to get a cheap key for SotFS and why do people shit themselves inside out over this game again. I know soul mem is garbage and random new extra stats feel weird, but the game's pretty fun so far, also power stance seems like a neat enough mechanic.

>>144983516
I hope they nerf more big weapons.

Str shouldn't be remotely viable.

Can you actually riposte the Dancer? She made the parry noise and a stagger animation I had never seen before.

>>144983861
Eygon and Gotthard are the strongest phantoms in 3 but they require player assistence when killing the boss, even on Crystal Sage

Tarkus could wind up dead but if the player left him to his devices it was possible for him to solo NG+7 Iron Golem

His head is actually a little small in comparison to his shoulders. He has no neck to speak of, and his legs are rather squat though. The fact that part-for-part he's larger than Wolnir actually might not make up for his poor proportions.

Neither stunlock consistently 2H, but will sometimes succeed in pvp due to the way delayed hit detection can affect stunlock.

Both stunlock 100% of the time 1H.

Fun fact, the only greataxe that reliably stunlocks 2HR1s is the Greataxe.

Just makes me wish audio communication was actually a thing in this game (never seen anyone even try to use it, I have it allowed but I think it isn't allowed by default? idk) so I could be like "hey dickhead how about you take your beating like a man instead of running away forever like a pussy?"

And I mean, I did finally kill him too (was using an astora GS 2H, had to pull out the offhand estoc finally). Double teaming me when I was at low health from a fight instead of just letting me continue to fight in the club was pretty childish. The ganking part and the host/other phantoms not immediately attacking those guys as well is what really bothers me about it.

Can't be. 2 was the game that tried new things and had original content. There was no Gwyn in DaS2.

You're thinking of 3, the game so bereft of creativity that it had more content lazily recycled from the first game than actually new. The final boss of DaS3 was just a tasteless throwback to Gwyn, including a copypasted moveset with worse hitboxes, because like everything else in 3, it was just a paltry imitation with weaker execution.

Host and 3 phantoms (that can be summoned back) vs. 1 invader with less health and a meager supply of estus is balanced, right? Nah, favors the invader too much, gotta pop that seed too, yeeeaaahhhh :^)

Any tips for this guy? What are the time frames that he can be parried? It's my first time playing Blood Souls, sorry.

I'm just using him to farm Estus Vials for Father Sulyvahn, guy's giving me a hard time.

dark bead and pursuers in ds1 shit ALL OVER ds2 hexes

Does anyone have ideas for a good Riposte weapon? Im gonna go into ng+ soon but i have one respec left and im looking for something good in pvp and pve a mainhand weapon, offhand that can parry and a big riposte weapon. Does anyone know whats the weapon with the highest AR? or the best riposte weapon in general

>>144987497
there are hexes in ds1 and ds3 too. in ds3 they just aren't called hexes, everything else is the same. in ds1 the idea behind hexes wasn't fully fleshed out. we had a few "dark" miracles and sorceries and 1 pyro. still, ds1 "hexes" are piss easy to avoid/rollstab. they were only deadly against newcomers who tried to black them

>>144987636
So it's a complete game considering basically all anyone ever still buys or gets is Scholar.

>>144987498
Unlike that turd that still managed to contaminate an otherwise fine game, roll distance is not determined by weight and HP and carry weight were not split into two stats.

Still a broken piece of shit with Poise though.

Curved swords actually are legitimately getting a nerf in the new patch, actually. Same with estocs and twinblade weapons and the washing pole.

How substantial that nerf will actually be, no one knows.

>>144987842

>>144987737
The Fallen Knights are disgraced, he wants to keep using his armor but doesn't want people to know what faction he used to be a part of (Drakeblood Knights)

>>144987791

Refined Lothric Knight SS has a strong main and bonus crit. Add a hornet ring and you can do upwards of 900 damage.

>>144987287
Which ASS? Because +3 Anri's is pretty average.

>>144987562

Or they could just put plenty of overpowered shit in their DLC, guaranteeing that loads of people buy it in order to shit on the non-buyers.

>>144987806
Black flame and dark bead (and to a lesser extent pursuers) were staples regardless of whether they could be rolled through, to the point they got nerfed in subsequent titles

Every general gets that way when people start having their private conversations in the thread.

"Oh man I can't believe I missed that parry"
"I know dude LOL"

And they justify it because they're "talking about the game". I've seen dozens of generals go the exact same way. Calling attention to it just creates more drama. The best thing to do is ignore it.

>>144988152
>Curved Swords are losing animation cancel parameters
Explain, is this why everyone using a curved sword can stay glued to you and continually chain two R1s?

I expect hate, but I just got to the Farron area in DS3, and I currently have enjoyed DS2 more. This game spams you with new weapons every 5 feet, and enemies have almost endless combos at times. I sat back and watched one of those beasts with the cross on its back swipe lime 10 times. This isn't Bloodborne.

>>144987983
>Because +3 Anri's is pretty average.
It's good enough

>>144988458
No

Shaving off seconds in recovery to perform an alternate action like rolling

Possibly also the animation cancel that allows you to jump attack out of the L2 of a curved/curved greatsword

>>144987813
>Y-you have to have only bought scholar
>The GoTY version is the complete game not the first iteration
I've seen some mental gymnastics, but this takes the fucking silver.

>>144988487
Farron is one of the lowest points in the game, keep going.

>>144988427
who's stopping you?

>>144988398

Oh shit, I forgot about that guy. Cream was creepy as hell.

>>144988576
myself

>>144988297
I actually place it above both of those. My order is Bloodborne > 3 > 2 > Dark > Demon's. Demon's aged pretty poorly, and the areas weren't as interesting when I went back and played them (I still think Tower of Latria and Shrine of Storms are awesome areas). Dark Souls 1 shits the bed once you beat Drake and Josh, though the DLC is pretty great if not uninspired compared to DaS2's.
DaS2 has more variety in the level location and feels more videogame-y, hence why I like it. It has all the staples: ice level, fire level, forest level, water level, castle level, dungeon, etc. It feels like they took the Souls formula and injected some Zelda into it. Plus I loved the Iron King DLC.

>>144988487
>I currently have enjoyed DS2 more
i agree but for different reasons

ds3 pvp is pretty terrible and 2 probably has the best

>>144988487
Farron Keep is one of the worst areas in the game, although it has a lot of neat secrets hidden around it

Also that's just like, your garbage man

>>144988024
If you wanna to see real circlejerk check /bbg/

>>144988487
The game is faster and rolling is adjusted to this. Deal with it. Also who the fuck complains about a wide selection of weapons?

>>144988429
I totally agree, man.

Wanna suck my dick while I finger your anus and fondle your balls?

>>144988547
IMO the greatest weakness of curved GS is starting a swing and then going "oh fuck i dont want this" and trying to roll out but you cant, so I hope that gets adjusted to where you can roll out at the start

normal curved swords can eat a dick tho

>>144988087
That is a silly looking animal.

>>144988487
Speaking of those beasts, they're one of my favourite. Does bloodborne have more of those kind of enemies?

>>144988637

idk whether I should feel good or bad about this, but pic related is the only thing that came to mind after this hilarity insued. pretty sure i just won the game. the actual game. the game where you're so good that everyone hates you and attacks you because of how good you are.

Roll away, you can stagger them anyways. Fast weapons to attack and stagger them before they complete their attack. Slow big weapons to attack away from their range or counterattack. Alternatively just go around most enemies and backstab them.
Seriously you idiots don't know how to play Dark Souls or something.

Alternate ending is triggered just by killing Vendrick before starting Nashandra's bossfight. There was a lot of confusion surrounding it due to a bug with the update initially that caused it to fail to trigger randomly, but they fixed that pretty quick.

The alternate ending has nothing to do with the dlc. It was patched in alongside aldia for all players and all versions and doesn't require any dlc content to access.

None of them are really complete. 1 has cut content, it took DLC and SotFS for 2 to be "the real story", and 3 is complete the same way Cave Story, Journey, or a fighting game arcade mode is complete; shorter. Bloodborne feels the most complete to me, but even that has condensed DLC and cut shit.

I know we're on 4chins here, but calling plain old content patches DLC is a little too obtuse for even me, lordy loo.

>You can't have the Dancer's Swords moveset with that setup

It's shit

download a pirated version and keep it low level, transfer saves and make twinks whenever you want

Aka dark glaive r1 spam. Muh variety. Stop trying to justify the fact that you're shit at the series and ds2 pvp was just a crutch for your horrible playing.

Other than that you're pretty much right

some people don't use weapons that either one shot or knock them on their ass for an easy wake up kill

Nearly every single general devolves into gay erp shitposting.

I think, if you like DaS2 more than DaS3 you should go back to :

or make a new general with your shit opinion

i was confused then and i'm still confused now

The difference is that Bloodborne didn't need DLC to be complete. It was a great game by itself made even more so by great DLC. And cut content is sometimes best left that way too

Pick two From. TWO. DaS1 twinkling was bad, but holy hell, why would players make low level invaders with the deck so stacked against them.

>Axes feel like shit

What.

>Great weapons feel like shit

Especially what.

>Powerstance isn't that great

Depends on what you're playing with, so eh.

>Completely disinterested into building my character because it doesn't matter

Do what now.

I'm not much of a DS2 person but some of those aren't checking out with what I do remember well.

The seed doesn't mean they're invulnerable, in fact seeded mobs prefer host+phantoms over you
