/dsg/ - Demon's and Dark Souls general

Graping is the most fun in this game and you literally cannot prove me wrong

What's the most infuriating taunt?

I'm using the Undead Legion's Ettiquette if the host was a shitter, but I'm also open to new ideas.

Kick their corpse before they fade away. Literally the best BM.

>>146714187
They actually like the ettiquette outside of 4chan. Point down, slow walk, throwing shit at them or parry spamming work best.

>>146714148
Graping is the best PVP idea since Dark Souls 1.

>closing the undead settlement gate on a host
>leaving me and his other phantom behind it
>by the time he gets it opened the phantom's been torn to shreds and I'm fading out

>>146714187
Point down

There's a reason it's one of the most used ones. Even when people know it isn't deserved, they still get mad(see: every invader post complaining about gank squads who point down).

Why do katana users tend to do that "zig zag" run thing before the running attack? Do they think it builds up their momentum or something?

Who approved the decision that watchdogs of Farron will only get summoned in a specific area at a specific condition that only lasts 10 minutes for normal players?
Can't they extend the area to farron keep? Or maybe even further than that?

>>146714515
Usually

I experienced that more or less though outside of Pontiffs palace. Whenever I got summoned into a gank, they were looking more or less for a 2v2/3v3 to happen, and waited happily for my backup to arrive before fighting

Well he definitely failed. /bbg/ ain't the superior anything with that confined as fuck, stale game. I know the best content of each Souls game is usually the DLC, but Bloodborne is literally a write off without the Old Hunters.

And the Old Hunters is short.

>>146718414
Up the quality and lower the resolution, it's a bit painful to look at

But yes, they're completely braindead at times, and most often will straight out rush you with a flurry of R1s, disregarding safety. It's actually a bit hilarious if you're lugging around an ultra weapon at +10 because you can kill them with one combo as they run into you

It's a fun little thing for a little while (with the Old Hunter's expansion), but Dark Souls (any given title, not just 3) has so much more replayability. Not to mention, not a lot of things in Bloodborne are very well thought out and it can be tacky sometimes. I wouldn't and didn't buy a PS4 for Bloodborne in spite of it apparently being one of the PS4's major selling points.

>>146719147
it's possible, but you need to get a bleed build going and get good at dodging her with the estus limit. it's also a bad idea to summon anyone because the health buff will just fuck all of you over unless you've got good summons who are prepared to fight her at low SL.

>>146719170
Have you ever played Phantasy Star Online? The original, not the shitty new one. Souls PVP reminds me of that game's PVP: it's clearly broken, unbalanced, and dogshit yet a small, vocal group of faggots obsesses over it

>>146719372
It's better than all of them. Demon's is the worst game in the series.

Don't kid yourself: Demon's and Dark 1 aged like milk.

>>146719416
Yeah, I was hefting along the Chaos Blade for that bleed as soon as I got in. I concur, summoning fucking bloats her to hell. The bare limit should be 1 Phantom. I was already uncomfortable with both of us going in there, but when I saw that we were doing it early I practically gave up all hope.

>>146719909

>>146719909
Outside UGS I don't think many have bad hitboxes, it's just online latency but people keep pretending a weapon has huge range instead of either them or the other guy having shit internet.

Latency
If you're moving backwards they hit where you were the .3+ seconds of delay ago, because on their screen you're still there
Once you learn how it works its almost always predictable, and you can use it to your advantage.

>>146720283
This joke is stupid as fuck but I love it.

>>146719909
In Bloodborne, this problem was pretty widespread on small, fast weapons. The worst culprits were saws, which had a stubby model when untricked and ideally would have had minimal reach, but had an enormous hitbox that extended well beyond its model, giving it more than double the reach visible.

It ironically made the tricked form, which gave up DPS in favour of reach, completely worthless but it was no coincidence that the Saw Cleaver was the poster-weapon of the game, one of the starting weapons, and also aggressively better than literally everything else in pve. The combination of oversized hitboxes giving it huge range, a mindlessly mashy moveset and ridiculous high dps for next to no stamina cost meant you could steamroll the game by spammning R1, facetanking and chugging vials.

Unsurprisingly, straightswords in DaS3 work exactly like the Saw Cleaver did and are every bit as horrendously effective in pve. They also, unsurprisingly have a hitbox every bit as terrible.

tl;dr: fromsoft intentionally gives misaligned and oversized hitboxes to the weapons they know players will gravitate to, in order to create an easymode for casuals that just want to blow through their game.

>>146720415
Good advice.

>>146720283
Huh, that's a pretty nice color scheme.

>>146715179

Does no one know how to fucking do feints anymore? I mean ffs. If you're playing a weapon with good running R1's like that you've gotta know when to literally just run at a guy and roll, or do a U-turn where you run straight at a guy and then 180 and run back without even attacking, or do a curly-Q to bait them to attack so you move just outside of their range but 360 around while close enough to counterhit them in the middle of their attack.

I mean, this is probably all because the game is still relatively young, right? Like, how long is it going to take before I can expect to run into good (or at least decent) players that at least have solid fundamentals when I do SL120 pontiff duels? Just saying, I feel your pain, anon.

>>146719704
I rank it best in the series because it's evident Miyazaki put his heart into it. The setting is refreshing, the lore is great and plenty gothic, the transforming weapons is an interesting mechanic that adds depth to the combat, and the setting oozes atmosphere while still having an air of mystery and horror. The game getting more twisted as you go along was sublime.

Demon's Souls has 3 good levels: 1-1, the Tower of Latria, and the Shrine of Storms. The mine level and Valley of Defilement are both awful, boring, and lowpoints in the game.
Dark 1 suffers the same problem. Whereas Dark 3, Bloodborne--- and yes, even Dark 2--- are consistent in fun factor, Dark 1 drops in quality greatly the minute you beat Ornstein and Smough. The worst offenders are Tomb of Giants and Demon Ruins. It feels like From rushed the ending of that game to get it released on time, or they got sick of working on it, or something. The bosses become lazy as well. Is there anyone that doesn't consider Bed of Chaos as the worst in the series? I haven't met any.

All 5 games are excellent and worth a playthrough, but you either have a narrative strong enough to grip the player throughout, have a suffocating atmosphere that envelops the imagination, or throw in enough variety with the gameplay to keep things fresh and interesting. Bloodborne's only real complaint is the lack of armor/weapons to tinker with. Besides that, it's great.

Don't get me wrong. I like Bloodborne. I used to like it a lot. But comparatively, Dark Souls just does more for me. Dark Souls has its tacky little traits too, but I criticize Bloodborne more harshly because it was what got me into FromSoft games to begin with.

Is the Lothric Knight Sword any good with a chaos or dark infusion as a pyromancer's melee weapon? I really like the moveset, and the estoc just doesn't do it for me.
I've got the Witch's Locks too, of course

>>146720707
Valley of Defilement is great. Its the only area in the whole series that actually feels like the incredibly hostile poisonous rotten shithole its supposed to be.

The one thing I really miss from Bloodborne is how many bosses and enemies had weakpoints.
Dodging into BLB's blindspot and wailing on its back leg until it exploded into giblets and forced the whole boss to take the knee for a moment was such a great feeling.

In DaS3, only a handful of bosses have real weakpoints like that and they're mostly just shit dangling out of reach like Yhorm's head.

I feel Dark Souls 1 gets a pass because
1) it's most of /v/'s and/or /vg/'s first Souls game
2) it's early in the series
3) it sets up lots of lore that the others use
Look at it from a purely technical, gameplay-oriented PoV and it's the second worst in the series (which is understandable, since they each get better and build upon one another). Look at the level design. The map design itself? Sublime, sure. But the aesthetics? They're not as varied as DaS2, which ticked all the "Game Making 101" boxes: ice level, volcano level, forest level, castle level, swamp level, mountain level, water level, etc.

>>146721146

People riff on Dark Souls 3 for not being able to stand on its own, but it does feel like an actual sequel. Dark Souls: Gaiden banks solely off of the fact its a fucking Dark Souls installment to get attention, and the first fucking reward for SotFS upon death is "This is Dark Souls :^)". I don't hate 2, but it's definitely kind of a little fucking gay.

>>146721341
It's hard for me to choose between the two of them in terms of aesthetics. I like DaS1's general atmosphere. Everything has this really gloomy tint to it. DaS2, more often than not, seems a lot brighter and more surreal. But I like that too. So I'm at an impasse here.

>>146721693
Swagger.

>>146721727
I wholly agree anon.

But while Dark Souls 2 isn't a good Souls game, it is a good game.

Is Carthus Beacon basically superior to Blessed Weapon in every way?
>gives the same damage bonus
>lasts longer
>applies damage bonus to every weapon equipped, not just the one in your right hand when you cast it
>works with unbuffable weapons
>gives a larger damage bonus (up to double the base bonus) for multihit attacks and WA combos
And for similar stat requirements.
Carthus Beacon seems to be pretty much the most efficient buff in the game.

>>146721957
It's pretty decent, yeah.

>>146721957
I never understood this meme of saying "X: Version Y isn't a good X game/album/book/movie"

You mean "it changes too much for me to comprehend"? People said the same shit when MGS3 first came out. Survival? Camouflage? Breakable items? Not like muh Metal Gears!
You have idiot DMC fans saying that about DMC1, too. Read that sentence again. They say THE FIRST GAME IN THE SERIES ISN'T ENOUGH LIKE THE FUCKING SERIES. See how dumb that is?

If the game is in a series, and not a spinoff? Guess what? It can't feel distant to the series considering it IS the series.

>>146721341
I didn't really like most of DaS2's levels, aesthetically. Part of that is just that the game is ugly as shit, even compared to 1, but most of them felt really bland.
Maybe because they were just "game making 101" levels. DaS1 didn't do anything crazy with its locations, for the most part, but it maintained its own tone for everything(except demon ruins, kind of, which were rushed to fuck). The forest of fallen giants has no character at all compared to the burg. Earthen Peak is dull as hell compared to Sen's. Huntsman's Copse was just grey and more grey compared to Darkroot Garden.

Very few of the locations left any real impression on me.

>>146722112

>>146722848
Ages ago.

>>146722252
I disagree. Most of Dark Souls 1 is wholly unforgettable, with Anor Londo, the Painted World, and Blightown leaving the biggest impressions on me (and the latter only because I played it on PS3 and the framerate was the worst I've ever seen).

Whereas in DaS2, Drangleic Castle, Shrine of Amana, Shaded Woods, and No Man's Wharf are all interesting and fresh. Drangleic especially felt like a Castlevania area. All 3 DLC locations were great too, though admittedly Loyce was the most substantial.

>>146722650

Are you seriously praising DaS2's level design? It's easily the worst in the series, barring demon ruins and lost izalith. Das2's level design is consistently bad.

The one thing that truly actually annoys the fuck out of me in Dark Souls 2 is that its easier to get titty slabs than it is to get titty chunks.
And before you say the words "bell" and "tower" in the same sentence, the problem is that no one is going there, so no summons

>>146727693

>>146727693
Chunks can be purchased infinitely at endgame. The game gives you enough chunks for at least 1 +10 weapon by the time you cross the Shrine of Winter, not counting early forays into DLC territory (which give you enough for a whole bunch.)
The 2nd half of the game gives you enough chunks for another few +10s, too.

man, I've already cleared that place out and now brume tower is next

Fuck, I just cannot for the life of me actually like the Carthus Crypts and Farron Keep (swamp). The swamp wouldn't be so bad if the swamp didn't make you fat roll or slow walk the entire time (yeah, yeah, use meme knives). And Carthus gets get annoying with reviving skeletons and skeletons that belong more in Bloodborne than Dark Souls

>having an "ironic" name and trying to be a dick is ok cuz muh irony huehuehue

I mean I guess. It would help if they weren't just shitters but don't have a name like "cancer", use dmb estoc, and then play like it's your first pvp experience. You're just shitter wrapped in shitter at that point

>most annoying enemy in the series
For me it's a tossup between jumpy facefuck ghrus and those fucking rock lizard things in Archdragon Peak.

It is, but it won't carry you through an endgame boss, you dingleberry. You have to bleed her. Get an Uchi or Corvian Scythe or something.

Anyone still have that DAT MASS custom female pic from DS way back when?

For Ds3, a quick pencil sketch.

So I'm at end game for DS1 and I'm starting to wonder if there's a better strength weapon than a +15 Great Club? I've been using it for a while and I kinda want to use something else. Any suggestions for a good STR weapon? Everything else I have seems like it isn't nearly as good as the Great Club for STR.
