Great weapons are not so great because of a lack of poise. That is what balanced them out in previous games.

>>149717228
Who published the game doesn't directly effect my gameplay experience, but what is actually in the game does. So no, I don't care about publisher pressure. That same pressure was put on DaS3, and you can really see that when you compare it to BB. However, DaS3 is still competent, and you don't have volcanoes hidden in the sky.

It's a natural thing like we said some threats ago, they'll always be reactive since they're the slow and punishing sort, which means that their ability to win or lose never depends on your, but rather, your opponent's (lack of) skill.

I hate this game

I hate that str weapons are an afterthought, underpowered and overnerfed, with retarded limitations
I hate that katanas are overpower since the first fucking game. That running attack was broken since its first installation and they NEVER fixed it.
I hate that buffs still are flat instead of % giving even more of an advantage to fast weapons
I hate that bamco has to pander to its baby new target audience that needs protection from invaders, and retards willingly chose to protect those people as "sunbros", also knows as fucking babysitters
I hate that from will never push the better parts of the game, like the rivalry between reds and blues, instead, it's more redditsun pandering
I hate that they made sure reds and their covenants are completely useless and have all disadvantages possible.

I hate that this game is SO close to being really fucking good, but it can't because this new generation of "gamers" is made entirely of entitled babies.

Yes I'm mad.

Agreed on all other points except:

>I hate that katanas are overpower since the first fucking game. That running attack was broken since its first installation and they NEVER fixed it.

Katanas are actually the most balanced they've been in a Souls games here imo, the only really OP attack they have is the running attack which is pretty predictable and has little range outside of the washing pole. Though the fact that Katanas aren't very terrific outside of this running attack and their AR and speed being lacking compared to straight swords/curved swords, people just gravitate to the WP instead. And if you have a 100% physical defense shield you can shut that down even without proper spacing unless they're using a Deep version for some reason.

Just because straight swords are also overpowered doesn't mean katanas aren't. They have almost no recovery frames and while the running attack is predicable, it's easily spammable and impossible to punish without a curved or ss.

Blueberries would get way more action if a) the covenant summoning wasn't completely broken and b) they weren't just the element turning it from a 3v1 to a 4v1.

Yellows should not be allowed to interact with Reds. They are supposed to be PvE cooperation, not no ganks.

The ones that should help the host against reds are blues. That's their only reason to exist: To hunt reds. Good job making them useless because a yellow is way better in every way possible.

That would make invasions even stupider and segment the pvp in an even more retarded fashion.
>>
>>149719960
I think:
>Reds should only be lightly nerfed
>Blues should only be lightly nerfed
>Whites and golds should be more nerfed the more of them you summon (something like the host has to share his whole stack of estus between his summons)
>You can't summon whites/golds as a Way of Blue adherent

In an ideal world this would mean people can either choose between playing through the level with their nerfed phantoms, and having their help in both PvE and PvP against a strong invader, or they can play through a level on their own but if they get invaded then a strong blue will come to the rescue.

Sadly in reality people would probably always opt for having their whites/golds over blue sentinels.


I also think friendly fire shouldn't be turned on automatically for invaders of the same covenant. So reds can't hurt each other, purples can't hurt each other, oranges can't hurt each other, but they can hurt invaders from other covenants. A host should be able to use an item which turns on friendly fire for invaders, but also for him and his own phantoms.

It fixes the only problem there is with the game. The rest of your complaints is just you being a casual and wanting the game to change instead of getting good yourself.

That's the problem with casuals, like yourself, you were raised on games that held your hand and constantly told you how great you were while doing everything for you. Now that you are faced with a real game, it's kicking your ass, and you don't know how to process that in the face of thinking you were some kind of gaming god after all those casual game butt-pats.

You have no idea what games I play. You can't ignore the problems just by saying "getting good". The invasions in DS3 are not that fun. FCs are in a pretty good spot to mess around with; but the core of the souls series for me has always been invasions. DS3 just doesn't have good invasions it is almost always a gank fest.
>>
>>149721939
This isn't even about the host anymore. But you'd be harming summoning horribly. Do you know how annoying it would feel to just watch your host die to a red?
I swear to christ you invaders are so entitled. The system isn't perfect, and it needs some changes, but stopping summons from attacking invaders is just dumb.
>>
>>149721780
I'm enjoying invasions more recently. Invading the same area over and over, getting used to the area, learning what sort of equipment and strategies people are going to be using at that stage of the game, makes you way more likely to win invasions, even against ganks. It's also important to realise that people who need to play through the game with two phantoms and a blue are tremendous fucking pussies and sometimes a little mindless aggression is what you need.

Of course, I've got characters devoted entirely to certain themes and invading certain areas, so if you've got a more general character you want to invade more casually on, you can't really benefit from my autistic strategies.

The whole point of being in body/human form in Demon's and Dark 1 was that you risk being invaded for the reward of extra health, being able to summon, kindle, get neat screenshake effects on your weapons, etc.

In Dark 3, there is virtually no risk as an embered host. Summoning makes the PvE trivial without any tradeoff.

Being able to ember anywhere is a mistake. You should only be able to do it at bonfires. There's nothing stopping a host from going through the whole level unembered and then just summoning some fucks at the boss.

In Demon's invaders had a bit more of a chance in that they could grass as much as the host and the phantoms. They also get the foe's ring meaning they could do more damage. I would quite like a similar ring to that I think.

I never summoned or co-oped in DS3 and all of my online interaction in 3 was invasions. That said I wasn't a very good invader either but I think that crippling co-opers by not allowing sunbros to touch the host is too excessive and most of the critique from reds makes it sound like they expect the host play by their arbitrary rules on what's considered "fair".

I think that invaders should get better rewards for beating a host that has multiple phantoms like toss them a slab or an item allowing one extra reapect or something.

>>149722757

In DeS it depended a lot on the character of the invader. If it was someone who was just invading to get their body back in the process of playing through, that person had no particular advantage over the host; any grass lost was lost forever (and thus maybe not worth risking), weapons wouldn't necessarily be better, and they could easily lack the Foe ring. But if it was someone who was a dedicated invader, that person was nigh unstoppable, because not only would they have terrifying damage output and every other tool they wanted, they would also probably have endless stacks of grass and no particular reason to conserve them.

It's pretty clear which one of these invaders From hadn't planned on people wanting to be.

Passwords are a good thing, they finally make it easier to play with friends if you want. The only issue is that From can't into downscaling.

>Twinking
Goes both ways, was wrong when either party did it given how unreal the advantages can get

>phantoms didn't have better healing than invaders

False, depends on how much either side had farmed, but assuming equal amounts, phantoms had the hosts estus and team miracles

>healing was actually punishable
Try to punish healing in a 3v1, you'll be lucky if you can get the backstab in without dying

People are only now realising how 3v1s are unfair because they hardly ran into them (and that's not because From trying to stop them from happening). But guess what, it's the way the player wanted to play, now you can either stop bitching and fight or BC out like we all do, or leave the game.
>>
>>149723783
I think from knew that some invaders were going to optimise, otherwise things like the foe's ring wouldn't be in the game. I just think they didn't expect most people to dedicate themselves so hard to it.
And obviously, I don't think they thought things like the scraping spear and stormruler through too hard.

Dark WP does 43 damage against BKSh. It's no use at all and you can fuck up and commit on a R1, getting out traded and since the stun on RHH is ridiculous, you'll get combo'd regardless of trade. Weapon of choice against shields is Card Captor, but since scott banned rouge/weapon buffs, not even that can deal with it correctly now. He's promoting even more passive play without knowing.

I'm not saying 3v1s in DaS were fair, it's just they were less unfair and FAR less common, yeah. Most invasions in DaS3 have you pitted against a 3v1 with all of the disadvantages that would be appropriate for a 1v1 with blue backup. Sure, you can BC out, but that's a big waste of time and cracked orbs when you're trying to get that first tongue.

Assuming they don't seed, a 3v1 in DaS3 is actually pretty fun as the invader, and it drives you to play as invasions were meant to be played, rather than just a glorified duel against non-PvP-ready players.

Can anyone sum up the complaints for pvp in DaS3. Not whether you agree with them, just the general concerns.

I've played over a thousand hours in souls games spanning from DeS, just too poor to afford Das3 still. I will eventually get it but I want to conceptualize how it is vs previous games, of course I'll draw my own conclusions after playing it.

I don't really have any issues with dueling, it's just that 3v1s are far too stacked against the invader and it's almost all you ever see while invading, for some reason.

Well, I know the reason, it's because they made squads have a higher priority to be invaded. You never get fucking invaded as a solo host unless you use a finger. Why did they do this? Who knows.

Only when a seed is involved. Otherwise, you can use enemies and the environment to your advantage and things even out. Stop just rushing the host and his phantoms.

>>149725052
Bullets are limited, just block them or dodge them until they run out, then steam roll them. You can also just use attacks that can't be parried.
>>
>>149724174
>waste of cracked orbs
This isn't 1 or 2, you can get the red eye orb in under an hour if you rush for it, two tops if you decide to take your time. You can even kill Leonhard and rush for it even faster if you don't care about his quest.
The only thing making 3v1s less unfair is the lack of seed in 1, which is harmful for 2 and 3, but is an invaluable tool for solo hosts and should simply be tweaked. 1v1 in a seeded world or 3v1 in a non seeded one are good fights. I only BC if there's a seed and phantoms together, or if they cleared the whole level.

3v1s are only more common now because better netcode, you'll notice that if you try to summon or get invaded most signs vanish/give the unable to summon phantom message.

>>149724693
For invasions I often see:
Invaders being outnumbered too often (I blame this on the community, not the game, prioritising these worlds has been debunked, it's simply that many solo hosts put themselves in an uninvadable state)
>lowered estus and HP for invaders
>seed being too common

General:
>estus is too fast and you can walk during it (by fast I mean you can drink and dodge a backstab while drinking)
>rolls are too strong
>smaller fast weapons being better than the rest, even more so than in other games, the number of great PvP weapons is small
>low number of builds, caused by various factors, such as low softcaps, making high level builds just go quality because no other options, very demanding caster builds, that need 3 ring slots and far more stat investment than melee ones, useless Vit dump stat since armor isn't strong enough
>some covenants have very bad chances of getting summoned (don't worry, the only good reward from them is a 2 Att slot ring)
>lack of a proper arena, which mad all the duel fags hog a very, very good invasion area, making you often find fight clubs when you want to invade there

I think there might be more, maybe too specific, but that's from the top of my head.

I had already given up by that point. 3 hits of a katana is 700 damage, 2 hits of my UGS is 700 damage also. But landing my 2 hits is so much hard, and I thought the first hit guaranteed the second, but that seems to not work with all UGS.

Of course eventually I'll managed to get gud with the UGS, it's a slow process, like I can win against everything with GAs and CGSs. But today I got my ass handed to me.

Some guys ran a few tests, I can search for you if you want. Basically, here's what happens. Every character starts tagged for being invaded, which will happen if they ember.

As soon as they get their first invasion, win or lose, they lose this tag and cannot be invaded anymore, even embered. There are only two ways of getting the tag back: finger, which leaves it active as long as the host has fingered himself, or using online functions, be they invading or summoning phantoms.
The result this gives us is that there are a bunch of hosts out there who are playing the game completly solo but online, and they only interact through messages or ghosts. It's not that From made it worse, it's that the community proved they are a bunch of faggots.

>>149726286
Oh, trust me, I hate this as much as you do, but did you look at post pontiff? It's an amazing invasion area, the deacons and SKs being among the best mobs to help and invader in the game, but if you ever used the orb there you know half the time the host just runs to his faggy arena and sits on his ass there or you find a fight club, all this because there's nowhere better to send this cancer to. If there was an arena, there'd be no signs everywhere at pontiff and your invasions there would be, you know, actual invasions.
>>
>>149726415
The arena should be thematically fitting to the game world, then. And even if it was, designing the pvp arena is effort that's taking away from the development of single player content.
>>
>>149726678
>There are only two ways of getting the tag back: finger, which leaves it active as long as the host has fingered himself, or using online functions, be they invading or summoning phantoms.

Erm, they did, then. DaS had an invasion timer and the finger simply bypassed it.

how so

i transferred the two dark hands from other characters, no weapons upgraded on this char, the dark hands count as +0.

the hands get 276 AR at SL1, deprived-- they literally 3-shot anyone.

you can invade upward all the way to SL21, and you'll only run into people w/ +2 weapons max. it's incredibly fun.

I mean that, if a player doesn't want to play with others, but wants to play online, they aren't forced to interact with people, which is a good thing. The only bad thing is that we took too long to find out as >>149726862 shows, some people are cluelessly playing without knowing. I suspect they'll take this out when the game gets in DaS's player range or something, but tons of people played DaS3 solo and without further interaction.

The arena was placed in an area of the world that was set up as a place for prisoners to fight to the death, hence the undead bosses in that region, granted the overall world design of DaS2 is my least favorite element of the game.

You might want to simply see messages or ghosts, who knows. I invaded as soon as I got the orb so it didn't affect me.

>>149727206
Kind of, it's slightly more freeing since you can be solo invaded as soon as you use the orb and I think you can still be area invaded by covenants, giving two areas that'd be somewhat similar to the bell maiden ones, but I'm not sure about the last part.
>>
>>149726807
>I'm assuming Deep is the Abyss
Might be. Deep weapons do Dark damage. What we do know is that Aldritch discovered it andcrealized that that shit was fucking wack. Maybe the Deep has a connection to the black monolith that's in the Deacons boss room and that's how we access the Deep DLC.

You might want the health advantage. For some reason From decided to balanced the game around hosts being embered for most fights, as opposed to DeS or DaS2 where even with the health loss going through areas was perfectly fine.
Given how many embers they vomit at you, I was embered the whole game.

>>149728120
That's actually a good alternative, I suppose locking the player as they reach for the sign would be very good, since if they're using summons in a non-ganking way/summoning opponents they'll be in a safe position anyway.

The Deep is an excuse for me to write literal child porn with vore inside of it

Na I think it's to Death as the Abyss is to Dark or Chaos is to Life. Death is a very prevalent in the world of Dark Souls so it could be 'the chains that bind this world' or 'the world's bedrock.' The Deep was once peaceful but became full of monstrosities - Death is seen as something very calm and peaceful by some people, but in the world of Dark Souls it's been fucked up by stuff like the Undead Curse and it's been corrupted into something terrifying, full of strange monstrosities. The creatures inhabiting it are shit like insects that eat flesh and maggots, stuff you'd expect to find in a rotting corpse, and the gigantic wolf spider things are covered in skulls. Plus, the wolf spiders can inflict you with curse, as can the magic of the Deacons in their boss fight - and curse is a status with a skull for an icon which inflicts sudden Death. Plus, the Deep is associated with water, the anathema of fire - whch is closely tied to Life in the series.

Whatever corrupted Death into Deep is probably linked to Dark too, seing as darkness is consistently refered to when talking about the Deep, Deep infusion and Deep spells do dark damage, and Aldrich counts as an abyssal creature.

I'm into femboys big time, but only when they're cute and straight and being abused by women.
My head canon is that the Dancer was heading into Lothric castle so she could rape some of that crippled and vulnerable femboy dick

First time playing Dark Souls and I'm on Dark Souls 1. It says my armor is degrading and my weapon is at risk, and I'm at the bonfire before you fight the first boss. (Killed boss already, but went back for loots)

Should I be worried about fixing my armor and weapons, and if so, how do I do it?
>>
>>149718724
Well dont take that faggits word for it. Its a great game.
>>
>>149731447
But why did they even bother leaving the arch stone there?

My first playthrough of DeS, I was expecting it to be a secret or bonus level and was I pretty dissapointed after I looked it up online and couldn't find it
>>
>>149731284
>>149729613
To this day I still don't understand what those stones are supposed to be
>>
>>149731810
Do you mean the tutorial boss? I hope not. If you mean the bonfire before Taurus Demon, then you find the merchant nearby and he sells a repair kit.
>>
>>149731810
Repair at blacksmiths until you buy repair box
Broken and at risk weapons do poopy damage
>>
>>149731986

They're literally just wood carvings Gough carved up that he put words of his in.
>>
>>149731986
Gough carved them from archtree wood. There's a mountain of them next to where he sits atop the tower.
>>
>>149731187
Maybe tomorrow, it's real late now.
Also how do the Dancer, Lorian and Lothric all compare size wise? I like a bit of size difference but don't know if I want to be doing full on giantess here.

>>149731779
Don't worry my friend, I'm giving them away free! On the house! :^)

>>149731986
The markings on all of them look kind of like faces when you look at them right. Not really see how you're supposed to look at the thank you carving though.
>>
>>149732082
>>149731986
you can see him carving them in the das1 dlc
>>
>>149731810
You stayed in the undead asylum long enough for your shit to get broken?
>>
>>149731810
Yes, always pay attention to durability, esp. with weapons. Weapon damage is severely lowered when the weapon is at risk.

Some merchants sell repair powder to fix it, or certain weaponsmiths will fix them too. For souls, of course.
>>
>>149732009
Taurus Demon. And what if said merchant is dead?

Also man, DeS is pretty polished and finished, but the amount of stuff that potentially could have been in that they were forced to leave out is a shame.

Is there any reason at all to use the Light Crossbow over the Heavy Crossbow in DS1?

By that I mean like

>Shoots faster, less range
>Longbow
>"Middle ground"

>Hella damage (but lower functional dps)
>Slow af

Composite bow is best.

Well mechanically speaking Dark Souls 3 is fine. They removed the abortion that was soul memory, gave us back a mana bar and now we can summon people using a password system. I've got the dark souls achievement and something about it feels inferior to DeS. I can't put my finger on it but in terms of design DaS III is the better game for sure.

No, blue flame doesn't exist. Both the spell casting weapons suck dick along with the MLGS and I'm pretty sure you can't even spell buff or magic infuse them, might be wrong.
Unless you like quality don't get hopes up. Magic in general is a cookie cutter waste of time in DS3. Also it's boring as fuck if you use spook+invis body, which you probably will because early magic is cancer.

I mean, hurr durr flash sword - look at me ma it's like using a straight sword but bad. I guess this is why scholars turned their nose up at those spells.

You can eke a little more bleed out with hollow and get close to refined damage, but you need to triple 40 your stats which is a huge drain.

30/30/30 (save 5 more points if you offhand a hollow bleed weapon) gives you a pretty okay 437 if you factor in the bleed.

Well, their only satisfaction is in gang-murdering you. So anything you do which deprives them of that satisfaction is wasting the whole point of them sitting around doing nothing while they wait for invaders. It's also taking them out of the queue for a while. Meanwhile, you have a chance of breaking up their team and can play around with different ways to use the environment against them.

It's pretty fun to see how much you can break their squad up by kiting them through the level. Sometimes the host gets overconfident and you can kill him (gank squad players tend to be horrible in solo PvP). It's fun. If they refuse to play along you can white branch and hide to further waste their time or force them to disconnect. Or just BC out after you've played with them enough, since you were going to BC out anyway.

For level 387's Anri's Straight Sword is probably the best in pure AR still due to its multiple scalings. Dragonslayer Greataxe, Lorian's/Twin Princes Greatsword and the Greatsword of Judgement are also contenders. Any Hollow-infused weapon of the top AR weapons is also up there.

Because for most weapons that wouldn't really close the gap. imo while they should just cap all Refined scalings to C/C at most, the main problem is more that most weapons just work with refined better then with other niches. 40/40 is the optimal damage set-up and lets you use the most weapons in the game, and with the stat investment I think that's worth it, but there's not enough options for other build types is the problem. Pure STR has Yhorm's and the FUGS, the latter of which still being mediocre at 66 STR, while pure DEX has the Chaos Blade and maybe one other weapon I can't think of.

Magic melee builds are just as bad because most innate elemental weapons are quality ones with an additional stat requirement, with the Dragonslayer Swordspear, Greatsword of Judgement, the Gargoyle weapons and others all getting optimal damage at 40/40 with the minimal INT/FAI requirements to use them instead of investing in INT/FAI. I think instead of nerfing Refined, it would be better to make some weapons lean towards dedicated scaling builds instead to create more diversity and build options, and hopefully have some added in the DLC.

heavy greatsword/ sharp twinkats/ sharp carthus would still get destroyed by quality

Are you new to the series?
If so, go back and play DaS1 first.

If not, the game's pretty amazing your first time through, but if you want to go for seconds, it's REAAAALLLLY linear so it feels like you have no reason to make a second playthrough. The game no longer feels like an adventure like the other Souls games still do after multiple playthroughs, you have to complete the same shit in same order and the game doesn't really properly "open up" at any stage of the game.

It has the best bosses, best PvE and best atmosphere, but unfortunately the replay value is the lowest and that includes imo DaS2 which had a lot of areas that I really hated.

>thats a good thing?
Yeah, it mixes up the battle so after you learn the bosses moves in Phase 1, it isn't just a repeat until the boss runs out of health.

>the rest is obnoxious loud music and choir just because "le epic music in le epic boss fights xDDD"
I don't understand? The music is kinda similar in all Souls games except in the other games the tracks repeat.

>fight tower knight and penetrator
>"HO HO HO HO HO *drums* HO HO HO HO HO"

>dont really get what you mean here. in terms of difficulty?
Both difficulty and speed wise. In the earlier Souls games you could easily run circles around most of the big and dumb bosses whose main advantage was having a lot of health, being unstaggerable and hitting hard. In DS3 the bosses have some of the same weaknesses as the player, but they're fast enough to make that up.

Abyss Watchers' choir is in no way the same as Pontiff's, nor are the tones or anything else. Both are entirely unique tracks that utilize choirs. Name TWO similar sounding tracks that are "LE EBIN CHOIRS" right the fuck now, please.

>implying I dislike the Cathedral.
It was a really cool level, the interior parts just didn't imo match the stuff that was cool in the outside of the Cathedral.

The Cathedral itself is okay, I mean, if they put me in charge of finding usage for the level, I don't think I'd do any better of a job. It's just that I feel like the large areas with the giants and the slimes are wasted space and the outside and the rafters are the best parts of the level.
Well, it's a Cathedral, it's going to have a lot of open spaces that are hard to fill with any meaningful gameplay but still.

Irithyll is superb, but it's essentially "the town parts of Anor Londo". Grand Archives is also cool, but it's "Duke's Archives but much better".

Farron swamp was such a let-down in terms of atmosphere, I really think that they used the lighting pretty poorly in this game.

>the interior parts fail to be cooler than the exterior parts for 'reasons' and 'stuff'

I gave proper reasoning, didn't I?
I said the interior parts were good, but I was a little frustrated at the amount of wasted space within the area. The idea of raising bridges / blockers from the base level to the top would've been also neat if it would've actually done anything or allowed us to travel more of the upper areas. The outside portion was superb, and the areas to the sides were pretty gud too, that's why the larger interior of the place kind of underwhelmed me.

>but it's essentially the town parts of Anor Londo
I'm not saying it was bad or anything, dude.

The more I look at DS3's level design, the more I think that the Highway should be the first "real" level of Dark Souls 3, then you should hit up Road of Sacrifices that will take you to Cathedral of the Deep and Farron Swamp / Farron Keep and through the catacombs into Irithyll. Then, the Propane Capital should be into the other direction, the Undead Settlement should be at the base of the cliff before the High Wall, from there you'll enter the caves and hit up Propane Capital from below and fight Yhorm at the top. Then you'll emerge into Lothric Dungeon and fight your way up to the High Wall and Lothric Castle.

As a Kumo user, I relate to this webm. CGS are the bane of katanas and ss because they always will lose trades, but still try to trade anyway because "Curved Greatswords aren't really great weapons are they?"

CGS are actually way better than UGS in trading, the HA actives very early and they stun for way longer. I dare to say a Exile GS will win every single trade that isn't against a GH or Yhorm's Machete. The worst part of this is: UGS are the worse "big" weapon to trade there is. They are actually worse than regular Greatswords. They have very low stun power and most people can roll after the first swing. There's only 3 UGS that are kinda worth: AGS, Profaned and Fume (because it's long as fuck), but even they are underwhelming.

From my experiences, it goes like this:
Stun power:
GH > GA > CGS > Axes > UGS = GS
HA:
GH = GA > CGS > GS > UGS

Okay :
1. Good usage of Vertical space, the upper buttresses are laid out on top of the ones that you use to progress into the area in the first place
2. Good usage of challenging combat environments such as slanted roofs, narrow buttressess and walkways.
3. Longish stretches of combat unbroken by bonfires.
4. Distinct areas (the approach from the forest graveyard, the yard of the Cathedral, the roofs and the buttresses and the rafters)

To be honest, the inside of the Cathedral isn't bad either, especially the side areas (like the one where you find the Aldritch Spider in), but I'm just kinda disappointed at the wasted space of around where the second giant is. The first giant makes for an interesting segment of having to run away from him or dropping down to battle him, the second one barely does anything and he isn't a challenge after the first.

Honestly the Cathedral is probably the best area in the game.

Say what you want but castles and cathedral are dark fantasy strongest. We should have more of them. I just wish we had a really big cathedral that was composed of at least 8 areas, like: outer garden, cemeteries, hallways and rooms, prison and torture area, inner garden, inner sanctuary, chapel, towers. Think for example of Diablo 2's first big dungeon.

That's something I really would've liked. It would imo make sense too.

>>149767730
Aldia is a horrible boss as well.
Powerstance was not only half-baked, it straight gave left hand weapon a ~10% damage reduction making offhand weapon worthless when you could just go with a weapon+shield.

Unlike everyone else, I unironically like DS2. I wasn't around for the DS1 scene, and my torrented copy had a sealed-up GFWL so I can't play with anyone. Plus, I started around when DS2 was impedning (maybe a month or two).

>>149767572
Not in my opinion.
>Drangleic Castle
Atmospheric as fuck. That empty castle was just fucking eerie, the rain was awesome, the elevator tower with the moanings and final piece great boss that was Mirror Knight.
>Brume Tower
Completely unlinear, fun to explore, lot of freedom, fun enemies to fight, beautiful place, best 2 bosses in the game by far, one of them with the best music in the franchise.
>Frozen Eleum Loyce
Fun gimmick of revisiting areas after everything unfroze. The whole place is beautiful and fun to explore. The boss was one of the most well made things I've ever seen: The way you drop down the hole and then the transition hits you, the contrast is amazing as you recognize the chaos flames. Then you hunt down allies and drop into the chaos, fighting alonside them against armies as they seal one by one the portals. Then the big boss shows up, with amazing looking armor set, amazing moveset, amazing music... everything is fucking great.
>Frigid Outskirts
I personally like areas like this. Vast deserts to get lost into.

No, I'm tired of the hollowed DaS2 fans who don't even care about arguing and care more about representing the second entry

Which, to be fair, is like real life

I'm a tired person

>shitty

This doesn't mean anything besides "I personally didn't like it".
>>
>>149768083
But anon, the only two times I use 'shitty' in that post is for animations and hitboxes.

Don't tell me hitboxes on Mimics & Giants and horse galloping are something you like?
>>
>>149767986
I'm tired of nostalgiafags who pretend the series wasn't always janky and disappointing unrealized potential at its core, who have rabid reactions to anything different from their first Souls game.
>>
>>149767956
Drangleic Castle is not atmospheric. It's just a very long empy hallway, and not even pretty to look at.

>What areas does /dsg/ think of as 'good'
It's sad that Mirror Knight was essentially one of the most memorable fights in that game even though he wasn't any of the big 4 you have to vanquish.

LGK and Velstadt were the only worthwhile fights of the base game after Pursuer.
>>
>>149767834
I'm not saying Powerstance is a good mechanic
But i'll take full movesets in the left hand over DS1's L1 Block any fucking day
>>
>>149768189
Velstadt would be great if he wasn't so fucking easy. Both his intro and his music are very nice, but the fight itself is no challenge at all. He should be as hard as Fume.

>>149767730
>powerstance is heralded as a great mechanic all around
Because it was, being able to dual wield a huge combination of weapons from even different classes, it was also good for weapons that otherwise didn't have horizontal attacks like some straight swords, katanas and rapiers, or with spears which extended their range, and specially when used with weapons that have unique abilities, like the Espada Ropera's R2 parry, or the Puzzling sword unparriable long range whip attack, or the Blue Flame's casting ability
>texture work is worse than Skyrim
I'll give you that, it wasn't the best but aside from a few specific areas like the N64 woods it wasn't a big deal
>level design is god awful at times, forgettable at best, or memorable in a bad way
The Forest of Fallen Giants, the Wharf, the Bastille, all examples of great levels with some vertical design, multiple routes, skips, optional paths and good use of shortcuts, and that's just the first 3 levels
>boasts a high number of bosses, levels, and content, even though you probably can't name half of them off the top of your head honestly
Is having a huge amount of content supposed to be a bad thing? And by the way, I do remember all of them

>shitty animations
Objectively wrong, the animations are smooth and actually flow into each other, just compare a R1->roll->R1 with the Claymore in DaS1/3 with DaS2. The ''rolling'' animation in the other games is specially terrible, your character just jumps in the air and lands on his upper back, makes it look like you break your neck every time you roll
>shitty hitboxes
Wrong again, except for a few specific enemies the hitboxes are fine
>ADP
What about it? You level it up if you wanna dodge better, but you don't need to, I know cause I've completed the game at base ADP with no trouble
>buff...1/100 applied
Patched like 2 years ago
>no REO
Legit complaint but cracked orbs are easy to get and the invasions themselves are by far the best in the series, not only in terms of mechanics -you can still be invaded when the boss is dead, you can still be invaded when hollow, but with at a lower chance, you can burn an effigy to disable all phantoms, both invading and helping, friendly phantoms can't heal with estus when there is an invader in the world- but also the actual PvP combat, which I don't even need to go into detail about, I think we all agree it's the best of any Souls game
>>final boss is fucking terrible unless you succ SOTFS hard
It's not that bad
>3 DLCs announced immediately after everyone realized base game sucked, 9.99 each, but buying all or SOTFS gives you a special ending because you're a special boy
Expansion packs aren't a bad thing when the base game is already huge

>greatshields never existed in the way they're used in dark souls in real life

dude im actually fucking livid. tower shields were used only to put up a phalanx with pikemen behind only to provide poke support.

you couldn't actually lift one around and use it to protect yourself since they weighed 30 lbs or more.
