Reminder that mo-capped animations are objectively more realistic, and if you prefer unrealistic animations that's just your opinion and that's perfectly fine.
Still looks kind of icky when swinging your curved sword in DaS3 breaks both of your wrists and dislocates one shoulder, though.

When the fuck did people start saying "lol salty?" I get that it's the new "You mad"
Context: The guy who left this comment ran a ganking squad which I invaded with my twink and destroyed, I have no idea how that makes me "salty" though.

Is there any boss in the franchise that feels as heavy as the mirror knight? Seriosly, each attack looks like it weights a ton, in a game where everything is floaty.

DeS, DaS1 and Bloodborne are the only ones with connected animations. You can't smoothly link an R1 into an R2 in DaS3 like you used to be able to, there'll be an animation stutter.

So the LGK pose as shy and pure, hiding behind strong phantoms to protect her. She's actually very lewd and enjoy showing herself.

Meanwhile the Championess pass off as slutty and energetic, being straightforward about what she wants (the d). This is all a facade, in truth she wants to be a wife and take care of a loving husband. She will do lewd things without flinching, but blush if you hold her hand.

>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

>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. If you're talking about the fact that it gives i-frames, well i-frames are never explained in any of these games
>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

>>149769975
Disregard power stancing, DaS3 makes you unable to slash with the Parrying Dagger, only block or parry. It's literally a bad shield now, completely missing the point. This is inexcusable.

It's a tie between BB and DaS1.

You're right, I forgot to mention this. It's inexcusable how both powerstancing and full weapon movesets in the left hand were removed in DaS3, and instead we got a few half-assed designated pairs of dual wield weapons, not even one for each class

Unironically SotFS. Agape Ring prevents SM from kicking me out of an area, the orange borders on the bonfire screen show me where I'm most likely to find invasion victims, there's no FAILED TO INVADE shit and invasions are borderline instant, PvP balance for random invasions is in a nice spot. The only downside is having to farm for cracked orbs, but I bypass this via save backups.

What could possible go wrong?
https://mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/60525

I haven't played any other Japanese RPGs. Are quests with backtracking a common thing in them?

I found Siegward's quest a bit strange, as I don't see any reason for the player to backtrack toward the well outside of Cleansing Chapel once he has progressed to Rosaria. There don't seem to be any hints that would lead the player there, aside from Patches having the Catarina armour set.

I enjoy obscurity and secrets that encourage exploration, but more along the lines of discovering and using the gesture to get to Archdragon Peak. Most players will see the area in the Irithyll dungeon and probably wonder if it has any significance, and once they find the gesture, they may make the connection. This has a natural flow to it. The well part of Siegward's quest doesn't seem like something the player would discover naturally.

Dark Souls 1 had Gravelords. Dark Souls 2 had ratbros. Dark Souls 3 needs something similar.

DMB is fine as it is, compared to the rest of buffs.

On a ideal world, buffs would be like this:
- Resins add 10% damage of the element and last a fixed amount of time.
- Fire weapon and magic weapon add 10% damage of the element. The damage and duration scales C with mag-adjust
- Lightning weapon and strong magic weapon add 15% of the element. The damage and duration scales B with mag-adjust
- DMB and Crystal magic weapon add 10% of the element. The damage and duration scales S with mag-adjust
- Blessed weapon as it is but with boosted regen.
- Cursed Weapon (15 faith miracle) adds 20% physical damage based on the value of the physical scaling of the weapon.
- Simple Weapon (15 int sorcery) is the same as blessed but for FP.
- Toxic Weapon (pyromancy) add toxic build up, scales with luck.

I wish instead they bought back covenants buffing your spells, but you're forced to stay on with them for a few hours or something for it to happen.
Also, as blessed weapon shows, bringing cursed weapon, even if weakened, at that amount of fth would be a bad idea.

20% of the scaling is almost nothing. Probably worse than the 15% of blessed in most cases.

Honestly it should be exactly as it was in Demon's Souls. 50% with life drain

It's actually only 7.5, and the people using it the most are pure melee characters with rings. I have no idea why you'd think a 20%, let alone a 50% buff, that I can get with no investment for a ring when I alteady deal more damage than casters is good.

>No Outrider Knight Covenant.
I want it to be honest.

Replaying Demon's Souls for the first time since early 2011 (which makes me feel old as fuck) and I have to say I remember liking the levels a lot more. Now a fair bit of it just kinda bores me. 1-1, 1-2, and 4-1 still stand out to me. But 2-1, 2-2, and 3-1 are a snooze. Even if the aesthetic of Tower of Latria still really appeals to me.

Well, at the very least they're not as bad as 5-1.

but it doesn't live up to the souls standard

If you go pure melee, is there any reason to make your weapon anything other than refined?

>>149780957
Oh no, DS1 wasn't scrapped halfway through the development and hastily made together from unfinished assets, though it's the second most unfinished one.

If you have a PlayStation 4 and must choose between Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin, choose Bloodborne.

Dark Souls 2 isn't as bad as people make it out to be, but it just doesn't compete with Bloodborne when it comes to graphics, gameplay, and aesthetics.

All you need is DSFix, which is half broken. With it you can set a higher resolution. It also has other settings but most of them don't work and FPS unlock is broken.

If you play with KBM you'll need DSMFix as well.

>>149781569
you need dsfix for ds1 otherwise it plays at upscaled 720p/ 30fps
ds2 needs nothing

Yeah, as unfinished as DaS 1 was, shit still made sense. After AL the levels stop flowing naturally, but when you place the lordvessel you get a cutscene showing you where to go.

Nope. If it's a choice between BB and DaS2, then it's always BB. However, if this was a choice between DaS3 and DaS2...

Just finished Dark Souls 3 NG+ and Wanted to play something related to it, but Thanks for your advice.

Why do people bitch about poise doing fuckshit in DaS3?
Poise alone made the pvp of DaS1 unplayable unless you were rocking havels/giant armor.

Why do people miss poise so much?

>>149782304
because they are pve retards unable to handle actually being punished for getting hit instead of steamrolling the game in full havels and facetanking bosses

>>149782304
They could have used DS2's version which uses both poise and HA. Armor wasn't completely fucking useless like its in DS3.

>>149782304
I don't care for pvp.

>>149782373

dark souls is a pve game, you worthless neet autist

go play a real competitive game

>>149782373
I hope BB is your favorite game, because DS3 is just a shittier version of it.

>>149782186
There's a few ds2 fanboys out there trying to shit on ds3 on any occasion even when someone asks nothing about it.

>>149782507
But...he didn't say otherwise and he is completelly right.

People who play as giantdad/havelmom are just bad players who need a clutch.

>>149782373

Because every single weapons staggers you if you're not using a weapon that has hyper armor activate half-way through your attacking animation, making ganks more difficult to deal with when everyone is using DEX weapons to outspeed and poke your ass and leaving larger armor and vitality practically useless

>>149782507
and lack of poise helps pve because you can't just put your havels on and trade with a boss while being almost impossible to stagger

Still, damn it looks so much better compared to DS3, I really wish I could play it blind once again, or play it on PC.

>>149782576
Poise isn't all about that though.

>>149782576
So let them have their clutch? It's still a clutch which makes it sub-optimal. Sure you can face tank through everything in DS1 but why the fuck would you when you can just dodge to avoid the attacks altogether, which is significantly more effective?

Next thing you say Souls games shouldn't have shields or any ranged weapons because they're clutches too.

Holy shit you upgraded your weapon to kill the enemy twice as fast? Cheater shitter relying on a clutch I see.

God fucking damn I just can't fathom this place sometimes.

>>149782496
Then you are going to be bored in a week or so.

The games are great as a singleplayer but only DaS1 had some replayability.
>>149782613
What he means, I assume, is that some people play PVP with unholy broken builds because they are inexperienced on it.
>>149782654
And what difference does that hold from being staggered to death by 1 guy with a zwei?

>>149782628
reminder that in ds1 you could chug literally while getting hit by a boss because poise is that overpowered

>>149782671
I want you to go fight NG+ nameless king with Smough's Greathammer while wearing full havels, and I want you to do the same thing with a straight sword and <30% weight.

>>149782762
>mad havelbaby

So you are saying that its completelly ok for a guy to pick a premade build with the highest poise in the game and just R1 someone to death?

How about you get your head out of your ass and admit that havelmoms and giantdads made pvp unplayable?

>>149782771
I know, I did a hundred runs in DaS 1 with loads of different weapons, stopping at different levels, etc

The counter says there is 3000 people playing, but I have only come into contact with another player once, when I got summoned in the rat area and got swiftly rekt. I got invaded a couple times in DaS, and I spent most of that game hollow, in this game you don't even need to be human so I assumed there would be loads of invasions by comparison but I've had none.

For the record, I have just entered Drangleic Castle.

Thanks for the tip. I know its an old game and overshadowed by two new releases now, but I got invaded around 10 times in the original, throughout the whole game.

well maybe you should actually stack some vigor fucktards
here's how much damage i'm getting in perseverance trades against ng+5 lorian
not to mention i could easily avoid all those attacks and win just with careful r1s and rolling attacks
if you can't win against bosses with str weapons you fucking suck, your builds suck as well and you're just whiny shits unable to adapt
thankfully we will never ever get an enormous poise crutch again

oh yeah

heide armor
bluemoon greatsword (the lawful blade)
first dlc is so heavily based on KF4 that the main building might be directly ripped from it
second dlc added a pyromancy very similar to a mid level fire magic
the light spell Flash was in the beta but never made it to the final game

>stage 1 lorian

LMAO

he does no damage and is one of the easiest bosses in the game

show nameless king or fuck off

im also pretty sure thats regular NG since you only have 214k souls and you said you stopped leveling at 75

im sure you just spent a bunch on mats though ;)
