Nah it's fucking shit and I liked DS2

Playing DaS2:SotFS for the first time. I think I'll start Swordsman since I went dex in DaS and it was kinda fun. Warrior seems to be the easy start because you get a shield, but I wanna see how far I get without having to need one.

As for starting gift, I'm unsure whether to go Seed of a Tree of Giants or Petrified Something. I took the Old Witch's Ring in DaS and I am glad I did for the lore ramifications. Which one of these 2 gifts will have a similar effect?

>>150408619
Aerie can be skipped in SOTFS from what i remember. Shit level regardless

I feel the same way about DaS2. I want to play the DLCs, but then I remember that I'll have to play through the vanilla game to get there.

>>150408272
The linearity.

>>150408698
Deprived you fucking casul.
Anyways, choose petrified something and give it to pump a rum, seed of giants is only good for being invaded and that won't be happening to often.

I started the same. I got to Lost Sinner without a shield. I could have probably beaten her with dodging eventually but I equipped a shield and the fight was a cakewalk.

Eleum Loyce is fucking awful. Typical DS2 encounter design ("throw a bunch of poisetanking enemies at him and have ranged opponent spamming projectiles at him"), virtually no atmosphere or actual level design aside from empty square rooms covered with the same wall textures. It's a fucking travesty and the worst DLC by far and it's atrocious that i need to suffer through it just to get a single fun weapon.

It doesn't "completely change", they just throw even more annoying mobs at you and unlock a few side passages. Shit design and absence of atmosphere doesn't change.

>>150409478

>>150409915
thats why you play vanilla

>>150409917
Uhm, rude much?

>>150409820
They just don't really understand what's going on. Most watchdogs just put on the covenant icon because it was cool without reading it, and when they're randomly summoned they don't know why or what their objective is. They see red and think 'enemy" because their older brother told them that red guys are there to hurt you. They probably just assume that this is some strange sort of co-op and are confused when the host can attack them.

99% of the time, watchdogs will only summon people with new steam accounts, and it only summons them into the worlds of fingered hosts, or high level players that have already killed deacons.

Unless you pop a finger, you can't actually be invaded by watchdogs until the crystal sage is dead. It's a stupid system.

>>150409915
>Tl:dr what the majority of people who buy dark souls do, but it, don't put effort in, drop it hours later saying it's shit.

Honestly, I'd like to see completely new areas instead of a retreading of even the best areas of Dark Souls 2. I hope that Sony/Fatlus/Bamco remaster the old games and with it, give Dark Souls 2 the treatment it deserved and completely redo the game but if not, I hope we won't visit Drangleic "just because" if there's no deeper reason.

In DS3 castle rooms have cool unique details like a sword on a ceremonial table or a painting in a secret stash. In DS2 it's just badly textured empty square rooms.

Can someone explain to me why DS2:SOTFS doesn't have E3 lighting? I understand it being removed for PS3/Xbox but it should have been easy to put in for PS4/Bone. It wasn't even that good looking compared to something like GTA5 which ran on PS3/Xbox.

I don't hate DaS2, but I think it's impossible to deny that there's something strange in the level design going on. It's not bad, but feel very "videogamey".

Like, in DaS and DaS3, it's like you're actually traverssing through places. In DaS2, it's like levels, it doesn't feel like that served a purpose other than you pass through.

It's hard to explain, it's not about graphics or textures, it's that something that Castlevania Symphony of the Night has a lot.

UGS can't combo a 2nd R1 if the first one interrupts the middle of an enemy attack animation or breaks hyperarmor. Under normal circumstances, they can combo normally, and FUGS, Cathedral Knight and Black Knight Greatswords can all combo 2HR1 into 2HR2 on a normal hit.

Most greataxes can't combo 2HR1s at all unless the first hit headshots.

Why did they remove the block while attacking feature?

>>150412689
SOTFS was an 8. Dark souls 3 was barely a 7.

>>150414701
Many of them are missing the neckpeice portion of the helmet but also occlude the neckpiece of chest armor that isn't their own set, meaning than none of them actually go with anything other than their own set.
Knight, Nameless Knight, Elite Knight and Drakeblood are all guilty of this, as well as several others. Only Lothric Knight and Alva's actually have the neck piece attached to the head's model and not occlude when paired with other chestpeices.

They shifted it to the weapon art. The WA has block frames during the entire stomp animation and covering the entire startup of the slam

It's also hot fucking garbage, but I guess that's the price it pays for being a non-miyazaki weapon in miyazaki souls 3: prepare to circlejerk miyazaki's past successes edition.

>I don't hate DaS2, but I think it's impossible to deny that there's something strange in the level design going on. It's not bad, but feel very "videogamey".

The bonfires and secret walls are the worst of them all.
They're pretty unnatural in all of the games, but in the other games at least they are illusions cast on otherwise natural looking environment.

In DaS2, secret walls open mechanically and reveal perfectly square, empty rooms with nothing but treasure chests or a bonfire jutting out of the ground. It feels like the DaS2 levels were made by DOOM modders.

Forest of the Fallen Giants still works okay, it feels like a "real" place as far as the environment design goes, but Iron Keep, Harvest Valley, Doors of Pharros, Shaded Ruins and The Gutter have it real bad.

One of the things I've noticed while playing Dark Souls 3 and watching Let's Plays is that Dark Souls 3 does an infinitely better job at framing cool ass shots and capturing the player's view into the gorgeous scenes in the game using things like cliffs, beams of lights and structures to show scenery that you'll end up at later on and where you came from previously. It's pretty subtle, but when you watch a couple of Let's Play's, you'll notice it from the way the people generally catch this shit in their cameras at least if they don't acknowledge it.

DaS2 can have it's moments as well, but the map paintings can't really hold a candle to real models.

I hope the DLC introduces a new infusion gem that allows us to alter the WA tied to a weapon.

I don't think it'd be a difficult thing to implement, since the animations just have to be swapped and no real work has to be done. The secondary WA would be fixed and relative to each weapon, so the Astora GS could trade in Charge for Stomp, Chaosblade could trade in Hold for Bloodlust, Scholar's Candlestick could trade in Guidance for Steady Chanting, Greatsword could trade in Stomp for Warcry, etc.

I think it'd be a neat way to make things more interesting, especially if they got really creative and put in some really weird combinations, like giving the Greatclub Quickstep or giving Farron GS Onislayer or something.

I haven't played this since before Prepare To Die dropped, it's like I'm going in blind again and I love it. There's just enough nostalga of things I remember, 10/10.

Let's talk about level design, /dsg/
(DS3 edition)

For all it's faults with the replayability, DS3 imo has the best Souls castle environment level set yet. When you first arrive at the High Wall, you see the huge castle opening in front of you and you think that you get to explore only a fraction of it, but you actually get to explore a huge part of what you see when you enter the game world proper for the first time. You can see the bridge to the homoprinces, you can see the dome of the Grand Archives, you can see the ramparts of the upper castle and I think the bridge which houses the Dragonslayer Armour boss battle.

I think this is a very good case of framing shots in the Dark Souls games, that act as a "promise" for the players of what they're going to get later. There's imo very little "fluff" in Lothric castle imo : if you see a location, chances are you're going to get to explore it, and when you get to those locations, you're going to be able to look back and see where you came from.

Another really strong point in the Lothric Castle / High Wall design is that you really get a good feel of the verticality of the area and that you're scaling higher and higher. The levels communicate this well by taking you outside constantly to see the areas outside of your immediate surroundings.

The levels themselves are very vertical too, you'll fight on ramparts and roofs, navigate battlements,staircases and bridges, creating challenging and three-dimensional combat environments.

What did you think were the high points of Dark Souls/Demon's Souls level design, /dsg/ ?

Honestly, I'd prefer it if Souls was split into two different franchises, one series PVE focused and more traditionally RPG and another series PVP focused with as much ARPG focus as DaS1.

Does quickstep still give frames even with 0 fp use?

I've been playing Souls games since before Skyrim. I like the formula, but the way they're handling them now isn't really working out too fine. Plus, I'd like to see From take the Souls formula new places.
