No way, Jose. Treehuggers attack extremely slowly, can be kited, and their bullshit homing skull missiles can be gathered and rolled through just by circling around for a bit.

Facehuggers, in the mean time, will happily jump right out of the middle of a combo, or when approached, for a handsome amount of damage if you get hit. But what's aggravating is their constant attempts to grab you, which always have a longer range than appears.

For facehuggers all you have to do is circle around them. Backing up is useless.

Well, I finally got around to beating this game. The fight against Nashandra was a pretty huge letdown, it was pretty easy even if I didn't wear the anti-curse crown, and she felt like a much weaker version of Elana. The only challenge that came of the fight was that I then had to take on Aldia back-to-back, but even he was stupidly easy once I figured out that I just needed to hit him when he's not on fire. Though I suppose I could have made the fight harder overall if I hadn't beat Throne Watcher and Defender prior to Giant Lord, but I was a pussy and didn't want to deal with three bosses in a row.

Overall I felt like this was a pretty fun game, pretty decently polished considering that it builds on fixing all the mistakes they made in the base game. It felt more like a game aimed at mainstream gamers rather than a niche successor to Demon's Souls that has a bunch of quirks that make it good and bad. As good and fun as the original DaS1 was, it had a bunch of dead-end and incomplete shit that detracted from the final product (Raw and Crystal upgrade paths, the entire Lost Izalith section, how stupidly hard it was to get Slabs of any color, etc.). DaS2 felt like it was trying to learn from those mistakes and try its own thing, which resulted in some good things (infusion system, weapon variety, level variety) but also a bunch of bad stuff too (Soul Memory, uninspiring bosses outside of the DLC, how more than half the "lore" was handled), but overall I felt that the gameplay stood out as more refined than DaS1.

Honestly not sure where I would rank DaS2 compared to DaS1, the first one was a really memorable journey despite how bullshit some of the areas were, but the second one had a lot more gameplay variety and was a lot longer as well so there was more to explore. But for the time being I guess it's on to DaS3, where everybody else is, and see for myself just how the series ends.
>>
>>151362904
Yeah, that's the standard tactic, and it does work! But you still have to put up with the frequent jumping, which is a pain in the ass. I for one am glad they're only encountered 3 or 4 times in the game.

Not really sure what to put there instead. If there was another stamina regen ring I'd go for that but I figured prisoners chain probably negates the nerf of damage absorption with a big boost to flat resistance and HP.

I SUPPOSE I could switch it out for the life ring but that feels less memey.

>>151367921
absorption and vit are much more powerful relative to low level damage output and health pools than at high levels

28 vit alone is equivalent to the base defense of a SL80 or higher. as you may know, base defense reduces damage taken by a static amount, absorption divides the rest of the damage

because low level damage is, well, low (think ~150 with a longsword swing against an npc) the impact of base defense is significantly higher.

If I had 0 base defense and 0 absorption, and something hit me for 300, I would take 300 damage
I I had 150 base defense and 0 absorption, and something hit for 300, I would take 150 damage.
If I had 150 base defense and 50% absorption, something hit me for 300, I would take 75 damage.

My base defense is about 40 points higher than someone normally around the level of that build, so I will always take 40 less damage, before absorption, which is also sigifnicantly higher other than SL30's.

RoSP only adds about 1/4th of its effectiveness in PvP, Lloyd's is about 1/3rd or so. I get an additional ~10% physical absorption at 10 HP, which is nothing to scoff at.

Meanwhile, Hollow's over there just basically adding a third stat for scaling onto every quality weapon (which is especially nice when you get ten free levels for merely holding weapons that are already good for your build) as well as boosting your bleed attack and making farming less tedious.

Man this girl is cute.

Knight is extreme easy mode. Every bit of its starting equipment will easily carry you to the very end.
Refined infusion and quality (STR + DEX) is broken as fuck and dominates the game.
Just level VIG, END, STR, DEX to about 40 each and end at Soul Level 120 and you'll have a standard, effective build.
I think you'll have to keep END at like 38~39 to fit at 120 though.

Luck is useless unless you play a specific endgame build which requires lots of farming.

I decided to do the same, I dropped all my ember, all my boss souls, and a symbol of avarice.
The guy's name was Donatien de Sade.
He picked all the drops, and then sent his sunbro to attack bro. His bro died, so he summoned again. His bro died AGAIN, and he pulled the plug.

If you ever meet that Donatien de Sade guy, please, kill him. That asshole took everything I dropped, didn't even thanked me, and tried to kill me.

any ESTEEMED sorcerers in here?

i was thinking of making one finally after 200 hours. does offhand estoc + candlestick sound like a decent enough combo for invasions + cooping?

Not really. Artorias was full of weird abyss slime that looks like the deep spells etc.

>>
>>151376014
i don't think it's the abyss that did that, not directly. i think when manus was awoken, went mad and mutated, it caused the oolacilians to mutate. the sheer strenght of his humanity resonated with the humanity of the oolacilians and drove them mad and deformed. that or he is a great one and granted them eyes on the inside and outside
seriously though, oolacile is bloodborne 0.5
>>
>>151376180
is it worth? the requirements are much higher than the estoc
>>
>>151376251
Come to think of it, that's a reasonable explanation.

I mean, I was never fond of the Dark Lord Ending because I always assumed humanity would run wild and turn everyone into monsters, but if the mutation in Oolacile are to blame on Manus throwing a tantrum, then it's better.

Through you can easily doubt that Darkstalker's intention for mankind are noble. He caused New Londo's ruin, after all.

That's an achivement in Dark Souls 2, given the torch has a limited timer.

Pretty impressive in Bloodborne too, because if I remember right, you use firearms to do the critical attacks.
>>
>>151376341
i think kaathe wishes to somehow seize control of the dark soul for himself. i also think it's evident that the abyss is rampart humanity, like chaos is rampart fire. which is why i consider unfair to judge how an age of dark would be based on oolacile the way you can't judge an age of fire by izalith. it would probably be more like the untended graves. that theory is kind of set back by the elemental infusions of ds3, although i can still have it make sense, even if it's a slight stretch.
by the way, has anyone seen the "the pygmy is velka" theory video? seems quite reasonable. i always thought the pygmy to be a male but come to think of it, female mkes more sense. nito is male and his antithesis (witch) is female. makes sense for the antithesis of gwyn to be female.

I'm pretty sure that you're just fishing for (you)'s, but which game?

And, here's a rattlesnake for you :
Dark Souls doesn't intend to be "realistic", it's shocking but it's not a medieval foot combat simulator. It's an action game series with authentic medieval elements and dark fantasy.

And :
Arrows and weapons do have headshot mechanics. Arrows also do thrusting damage, which means that it's a different damage type from a sword slash, so you'd need to take into account whether the enemy had head protection and what kind of head protection it was and what armor they were wearing.

Usually the damage is what's expected, i.e if you headshot someone with an arrow it does decent damage, but considering that there are a lot of different types of enemies designed to be weak against different types of damage, you can't expect a headshot to be always better than slashing with a weapon.

And headshots from ranged attacks don't only do more damage, they also usually stagger enemies.

>I don't think, I could equip the bow.
Does the inventory icon have a red "X" over it?
Are you on PC? If so, can you take a screenshot?

If you're playing DS3 and you got the Longbow from the High Wall, chances are that you're not meeting the requirements for the Longbow, but you can still fire it, which means it's going to do reduced damage (unlike the previous games where if you didn't meet the requirements, you couldn't use the weapon). And if you couple this with Wooden arrows, you'll get a very weak damage output.
>>
>>151380135
yes and they used to be affected by hornet
>>
>>151380135
Yes. I do around 150 on my knight's which then becomes 200+ with only lightning bolts sometimes.
That is ringless, could be even higher with Leo
>>
>>151379994
>whether the enemy had head protection
This is also important for the player.
The material and weight of your head protection determines how much more damage you take from a headshot.
Light cloth headgear only slightly mitigates, medium metal helms mostly protect, heavy metal helms remove the multiplier, though you still stagger.

There's also a helm in Dark Souls 2 whose entire purpose is to negate headshot damage. It also makes a bell ringing noise.

>>151380135
Yes, in all souls games. Composite bow with leo is viable.
>>
>>151380230
>unlike the previous games where if you didn't meet the requirements, you couldn't use the weapon
this is wrong. you can't use the weapon only you don't meet the str req. you could still fire bows normally but got staggered after firing

12.
And I used wooden arrows because I'm a cheapskate and you can recover shot arrows in dark souls. I'm not even sure you can cancel once you pulled the string.

>>151379994
Dark Souls 3. I know the first is pretty dead and filled with hackers, and that the second is terrible, so I went for the last, while thinking I could always get the old one if I ended up liking it.

>Dark Souls doesn't intend to be "realistic"
I figured, and that's why I'm disappointed. I hoped for something a bit like Chilvary, but in third person and against the environement rather than against other players. Don't get me wrong, the game's fun and all, and there are a lot of weapons, but I just wanted something that ends up not being Dark Souls.
Maybe I'm just looking for a medieval fantasy version of Far Cry or something.

>Arrows and weapons do have headshot mechanics
Can I use the mouse and the keyboard then? Landing a headshot with a gamepad is a pain.

>>151380230
That would mean reinstalling the game, so I'll pass, sorry. You can choose to not believe me, but I'm sincere.
And yes, there was a red cross. I thought it was because I had no ammunition equipped.


So anyway, the question I wanted to ask but forgot to because I'm stupid : is there a mod that multiplies all damage by 100 or something?

Okay, so it means that you didn't have enough Strength or Dexterity to actually wield it.

>is there a mod that multiplies all damage by 100 or something?
You mean like a 100 times?
I guess you could use Cheat Engine to up your damage output but why the hell would you do that?
The game doesn't really have enemies that take a whole lot of punishment and you should also realize that unless you're playing in Offline mode, you're also fucking over other people who invade your world.

>Can I use the mouse and the keyboard then?
I know I do.

>Maybe I'm just looking for a medieval fantasy version of Far Cry or something.
Maybe you should try Dark Messiah of Might&Magic.

Wooden arrows+not meeting the requirements = your attacks barely tickle.

Up to +9, but I was using the inferior bolts, I could've used Standard or Heavy Bolts and killed him.

I killed another boss pretty much just by using an unupgraded crossbow and Standard bolts (though the boss was easy, it still means that bows CAN do damage)

I don't spam attacks, so again, I don't see the need. I usually go for single hits and try to look for L2/L1 openings. The roll stamina drain is so nothing in this game I don't see why anyone levels stamina unless you're using hueg weapons or using shields.

So far my only issue with the build is I kill people too quickly and don't get to see my AR climb up to nearly 800 like I want to.

It's pretty funny for PVE though, doing 3k damage every 5 seconds.

I'd debate dropping the STR entirely, going with raw sellsword blades maybe just to see how that was.

if you're behind them after riposte/backstab they will either roll away or try to turn and attack (if you hit them during the turn they should roll away again) and that allows you to get a charged R2 and two R1s with a straigh sword if the other two watchers are not around

Don't you just hate when you are attempting to set up an ambush on the host, and another invader is summoned and decides to blindly rush in and attempt to attack the host when there are no mobs around? Sure, if there are two invaders its much easier to get the host, but when shitters see two invaders rushing them down, it turns into a 90 minute excursion of rolling, whereas getting the jump on someone fighting mobs allows you to take them out much easier

How many characters do you have ready for the DLC? Are you making one character of every build so you can try out all the new stuff? Or will you just assume all the new magic will be shit and go through it on a quality build?

I have a quality build and an int build at the end of NG. Considering rushing through the game with a faith build and a luck build so I have basically everything in place, but the early game is so fucking boring.

Sure I get that your weapon gets more damage, but the host is just gonna heal up before your buff runs out anyway, I think its better to just take hits on the host when you can- unless of course you are a FTH/Pyro caster and actually need buffs to do damage. Oh well, at least he was helpful at the end

I have a luck build and a strength build in NG++ ready to go, as well as a quality, strength/pyro and dex/faith build in NG.

I have some pure casters as well, but knowing that the DLC will probably bring the same inflated elemental resistance as the previous game's DLCs, combined with the fact that they're already total shit probably means that it won't be worth the trouble. I don't expect casters to get any love in the dlc aside from a couple more useless spells you'll never land in pvp.

I probably won't even bother bringing the luck build through the dlc since I know there won't be any luck scaling weapons, and the hollow infusion is shit unless you're some overleveled quality fuck.

Hopefully there's some fun strength-scaling toys in the dlc, but who am I kidding? It'll all be quality shit again.

Only good waifus from Soulsborne ever are Dusk/Rhea/Fire Keeper and Doll.
Saying otherwise means you have shit taste. Not that Soulsborne isn't shit for waifus in general (but great for finding bro-tier NPCs)

The DaS2 dlc had almost every single boss (as well as most of the enemies) completely immune to most status effects. I wouldn't be surprised if this dlc is the same

Not that it matters, bleed is way too strong in pve and dumpstering all the new content with a rouged cardcaptor isn't my idea of fun, especially if the only reward is the knowledge that I'll have to do it again on an actually fun build in order to take a ride with the new toys.

Is beating the nameless king at sl15 and weapon +2 easily doable?
I want to stay low level for the best pvp in lothric wall, I am at aldrich at the moment and the journey so far was not so difficult.

Also, are the invasion still 1v3 or 1v4 at sl>25? that's the main reason i want so stay sl15, here it's at most 1v2.

>>151387138
Yes. Bring up the steam overlay and the recent players tab will by default start on an empty list called "Current game". There's another tab right next to it that actually shows your recent players.

It's a nonsensical system because valve can't into UI.

I believe Ancient Wyvern is also bleed-immune, or else otherwise simply too resistant to ever actually inflict. Vordt is also bleed-immune, as is ODK.

Abysswatchers also don't have enough health for bleed to be practical. You kill them before triggering it unless you're using something like a bandit's knife with rouge (you can't actually get rouge before killing them). Same deal with deacons.

Scholar is the better version, yes. It also includes all of the dlcs packaged together for a better deal than anything with the base game.

DaS2 is the best optimized pc port of the 3. If you could run 1, you can run 2 and will probably encounter considerably more stable framerate. Even my laptop could run 2 at a stable 60.

That's because buffs are hot fucking garbage in 3. You do less damage than a quality build with a resin for a larger stat investment and are restricted to a much smaller pool of weapons, while also only having your damage boost asctive for 60 seconds unless the other player decides that non-quality builds aren't allowed in qualitysouls 3 and chucks duel charms at you

Most Ultras are shit against most of the top tier and even just 'good' weapons in 3, but here's my opinions. Best ultras are Astora's Greatsword (thrust attacks, Charge, and unparryable rolling attacks with huge damage), Profaned Greatsword (best UGS damage at 40/40 plus thrusts), Lothric Knight Greatsword (thrusts, terrific damage when buffed with Gold Pine + bundle trick, Great Club (R2s are very good), the Pickaxe (Leo Ring counters), Black Knight Greataxe (huge stamina consumption but terrific damage and moveset), Morne's Great Hammer (Needs a dedicated build but has one of the best weapon arts), and Yhorm's Great Machete (terrific range+damage even with shit moveset). Most other ultras just do not have enough damage to compensate for their faults or have some other huge issues that makes them not worth it competitively in PvE or PvP.

Fume is the longest ultra but the highest weight and stamina costs by far. It can combo 2HR1->2HR2 and its 2HR1s, the vertical ones, are generally the best variant of the moveset. It deals pure strike damage though, meaning the rolling attack and R2 don't get thrust bonuses. The WA is completely useless in 3. They slowed it down as opposed to 2, made the guarding worse and sped everything else up. You'll never catch someone with it and players can safely attack into the startup and still roll away for free.

BKGS can combo 2HR1 into a charged 2HR2 to deal north of 1000 damage in a single combo. This can instantkill some players. The BKGS can also beat the AR of a pure strength FUGS when built quality, so it's basically the best for just doing big damage, and the strongest UGS with the overhead R1 moveset.

Profaned GS is the strongest UGS with the standard horizontal moveset. It also beats the AR of a pure strength FUGS when on a quality build and is relatively light to boot.

Astora Greatsword is the lightest UGS and has low AR, but it has a bugged, unique rolling attack. Its rolling R1 uses the animation of the zweihander's R2, is the only move in the game with hyperarmor that's active instantly, and has the attack modifier of a fully charged R2 despite being considerably faster. It out-trades EVERYTHING. The weapon is mediocre outside of that 1 attack, but that one attack is so broken it makes the AGS the best UGS for pvp.

Greataxes are all the same shit. Yhorm's is the best because it has the highest AR and the most reach, but it, like most greataxes, can't combo 2HR1s and have terrible, limited movesets outside of their R1s.

The Great Club is the only usable greathammer. It has a unique R2 that's the best move in its moveset, and it still only makes it barely usable. Every other greathammer is unusably bad.

The earlygame is the best part of the game. Going through at on NG+ is literally the highlight of a playthrough.

The game takes a fucking nosedive through the entire section between Abysswatchers and Dancer. Carthus a lazy, half-retextured chalice dungeon shit, Wolnir a shit. Irithyll a linear DaS2-tier shit, Pontiff a boring shit. Dungeon a bland "remember Latria :^)" shit, Yhorm a complete and utter shit. Anor Londo a lazy shit, Aldrich a boring easy shit. It's all shit until Lothric Castle rescues the game from mediocrity.

I honestly have it the other way around. After Vordt I like the game a lot until Pontiff, then it kinda sucks until Lothric Castle.

I loved the Dungeon on my first run, but it's just so defeating to know how short it is and how lackluster the fight against Yhorm is.

Undead Settlement was also really nice and non-linear environment, as was Road of Sacrifices and tbqh I liked Farron Keep too.

I'd rate the crown trilogy better than TOH, just by virtue of the fact that it was more content for the same price and vastly superior level design. TOH, just like AotA, was dull and linear stages with really uninteresting enemy encounters saved by excellent bossfights. Except in the case of TOH, only Ludwig and Orphan were really exceptional bosses and the other 3 were kind of unimpressive.

The best thing about TOH is that it fixed the lack of replayability and build variety in Bloodborne by introducing like 10 weapons that were all more interesting, fun and varied takes on the trick weapon concept than anything in the base game. Conversely, the crowns dlcs fixed the lack of good level design and bossfights in DaS2 by having great level design and bossfights.

It's that time again /dsg/, let's talk about level design and the DLC.

1. What's your favorite type of level ?

2. What's the opposite type of level the level you normally prefer that you'd like to see in the DLC.

Example : I'm a castlefag. I love castle environments in the Souls games and the way From manages make them both function well as levels as well as make them appear more than just cheap set dressing. I love that they managed to make them expansive but still compact and feature many different kinds of physical shortcuts and combat environments.

However, I'd also appreciate something opposite of that, like the Royal Wood / Road of Sacrifices / Darkroot Garden. There's just something amazing about scenes of nature in these games, especially when you come to the Sanctuary Guardian bossfight room, it's just so....serene and beautiful but at the same time a little unnerving. I'd like to see more forest type environments with foes being different beasts that may or may not have been tainted with Abyss goop.

Nah. I like Artorias of the Abyss better too. In fact, the only DaS2 DLC that is really that good is the Sunken one I think. The one that you needed to use arrows to hit switches in. I legitimately enjoyed that one.

>>151394249
I rather like Farron Keep only because I think the critical path is clever
A series of islands with blazing campfires on them guide you to the first tower
The first tower leads directly to the second
The second leads directly to a bonfire
The bonfire leads directly to the Old Wolf of Farron, which incidentally puts you above the canopy of tree cover and lets you see both where the 3rd tower is, and the path to it.

The fact that most of the rest of the swamp is kind of pointless sucks, and the lack of good loot is galling when you deliberately go out of your way to search it for loot, but I understand that the goal was to make it so that players who did not use high vantage to their advantage would be forced to slog through the mazelink fatroll portion of the swamp in order to locate the 3rd tower. That in itself is clever, and the fact that there's actually no worthwhile loot to go out of your way for means that you can blow down the critical path and be out of the area in minutes, yet still feel like you crossed a massive amount of space in a large zone. It's one of the most painless zones when it comes to replayability and multiple playthroughs.

I still dislike that there are some pseudo mandatory parts. You need a scroll for Orbeck, since I like at least spook on my characters. You also have Heysel if you want her hat/gesture.

Yes.
I assumed it would be an NG+ ring location because 90% of the awkwardly empty spaces are typically reserved for NG+ loot, but even after finishing NG++ there's nothing in that room.

>There's also some treasure you want to pick most times like lizards, some wolfgrass, grab watchdogs
All of this is along the critical path. The ladder to watchdogs is adjacent to the room with the bone shard, the swordgrass is next to the ladder, all 4 lizards are up the ladder, etc.

You get Heysel's hat in Crucifixion Woods and don't need to face her invasion in the keep to summon her. her summon sign is on the island with the bone shard if you want the gesture.

And you can grab both the pale shade invasion and the oolacile scroll by dropping down from the hole in the wall by the last bonfire, then boning out. No need to wander in fatroll waters for them.

Are you me? I wholeheartedly agree but I still believe the swamp fatroll without iron ring was a very poor choice in design. At least with the ring, you might have to forego a favored ring and change your build.

When you spend your first playthrough exploring the swamp, it took some time and you can still get lost but you're rewarded greatly if you found the center tower and observed where the others were by checking if the top was lit. I don't think FROM had done anything similar in the past using elevation to find your objective.
>>
>>151396552
You don't need to see the first two towers, because the game guides you to them naturally.
And then the game guides you to a vantage point where you can see the 3rd so you can find it for yourself.

The swamp is only cancer if you're too dumb to use the high ground to navigate or bother to try combing the entire zone looking for loot, which you learn after the first time is pointless because there's no loot to find.

So I went the dickless route and imbued my Broadsword with Fire at the start of my first Dark Souls 3 playthrough, and now I'm at the Abyss Watchers.

>>151396964
Your point is bullshit since all of the Souls games have gimmick fights. DeS bosses set the standard for what the Souls series' bosses were going to be. I think Dark Souls 1 was generally on par with the bosses, but DaS2 kinda blew it by "lmao let's add even more bosses so the fights become a clusterfuck".
DS3 bosses are good because the gank bosses were better scripted.
There were some good kinda unique DS2 bosses like the LGK and I liked the idea of Pursuer powering up if he strikes you with his blue sword.

wat

Just heavy-infuse your broadsword if you want to go with strength. Straightswords collectively are the best pve weapons in the game, so if you feel like you need to upgrade, you're mistaken. If you're looking for something more fun that a boring old broadsword, you can try a UGS (Greatsword in Farron Keep) or a Greataxe (also in Farron Keep), but bear in mind that any strength weapon which isn't a straightsword will be inferior to a straightsword.
>>
>>151398159
>Your point is bullshit since all of the Souls games have gimmick fights
And which had the most? DeS.
A lot of bosses in the newer games always seem to be trying to emulate something similar to the artorias of the abyss bosses, most likely because they were so well received. They were good bosses, but attempting to replicate that level of challenge all the time is a bad idea.
Gimmicks make fights interesting and fun, and should be done more.

DeS had also the worst gimmick boss which was Dragon God. Storm King was majestic and fun.

Also, just because the boss has sonething to separate them from the rest doesn't mean it's a straight up gimmick fight. For example, Old Hero isn't a "gimmick fight" more than 4 Kings or Nito is. Storm King, Monk and Dragon God are the only true "gimmick fights"

Leechmonger is a simple damage race. In NG it's not too bad and you have actually quite a lot of options to take him out. But if you have low damage output or are in NG+, his regeneration may be a problem.

>>151398893
I suppose you could say gimmicks are a scale of sorts, but I think it's true that demon's souls had the most gimmicky bosses, and I think that's what helps it be the best in terms of bosses.
4kings is a gimmick boss, though I'm unsure if Nito would count, since throwing in enemies randomly isn't really a gimmick.

Covetous Demon was a wasted effort like Mytha was. The boss has actually a relatively interesting gimmick (the prisoner cages) that you have no real reason to use because the boss itself is so easy. The gimmick would've been appropriate for Lud&Zallen imo.

Adjudicator is a great boss, interesting design and cool lore, and it's nice that there's two ways to take him on.
Don't know which Allant you mean, but both are some of the best bosses in all the souls games.
Phalanx is a great boss. The hoplite enemy is well suited for a multi setup, and the design and lore behind it is cool.
Vanguard is alright, nothing special but it makes a good first boss.

Seperating gameplay from every other element of a game is dumb. I haven't played BB too, no ps4.
DeS' bosses felt the most tonally consistent, I can't think of any boss in DeS that felt out of place, and most of the bosses had interesting designs and lore behind them, there was little filler.
The gimmicks and weaknesses of the bosses really made them more interesting to fight. I find it much more interesting to have to go up against something that isn't just an oversized mob, but instead uses all sorts of tricks you have to counter (such as the idol's splitting and the fact she can be revived, leechmonger's healing or tower knight's swarm of crossbowmen).
The weaknesses a lot of the bosses had (like old hero's blindness, phalanx being weak to fire or flamelurker being weak to magic) meant that those with good knowledge of the systems in demon's souls and who were willing to experiment with it were rewarded. It encourages you to mix up your playstyle to exploit enemy weaknesses, which helps compensate for the simplistic nature of the souls games core mechanics.

Technically, you could easily do the entirety of Lothric just from the first High Wall bonfire because of all the elevators and shortcuts everywhere.

>>151400667
>Explain how they are better than BB, DS1 or 3
Not him, but they don't rely on cheap artificial difficulty such as movesets that consist of unpredictable flailing and 8 hit combos, attacks with no recovery time, instant untelegraphed attacks, or bloated health bars, unlike BB and DaS3
>>
>>151401778
Because of the way it's set up and it feels illogical to have to use a specific weapon against an enemy type we've always been able to defeat using conventional weapons. And while Yhorm's presentation is great, it feels haphazardly put together. They should've chosen either Old Hero or Storm King to emulate instead of trying to mush two callbacks into the same boss.
>>
>>151402139
But, provided you aren't a shitter, none of those are issues in Bloodborne, or Dark Souls, and only Ocieros has that untelegraphable charge attack

I'll do that when I get my PS4 by Christmas and rebuy DS3 for it.

Hey /dsg/ anyone have any advice for me on interesting character names?

I'm looking for something for a wandering knight who uses a variety of weapons.

The names I usually use are Geras, Tessius, Kairos and Kurtz.

For me Ds3 felt like the perfect balance between 1 and 2, and most of the problems with the game come to play in the PvP portion of it. I enjoyed the singleplayer of Ds3 most out of the three games.

>>151407645
I like it more than 1.
>>
>>151408047
It's the fact that the game is perpetually, constantly, in the background attempting to load, deload and reload entire sections of the map all at once. Utterly unable to handle system resources effectively, it's pulled active memory away from the area that's currently active in order to load the assets of an inactive area into active memory in its place, the result is a bottleneck in active memory that causes my game to freeze, while it waits to have enough memory to continue, all because some gook on 24/7 unpaid overtime thought that it was more important to make sure that the twin prince's bossroom would be properly loaded into memory while I'm at the high wall.

It has nothing to do with connection, it's just the game being a horribly unstable platform that misallocates and wastes system resources because nips can't into coding.

Not so sure about that. Sure, perhaps if it's your first game in the franchise, but after playing two, three or even four of them previously, DS3 gets pretty boring about halfway through. After Irithyll I was practically forcing myself to play it just to finish the game.

Meanwhile I couldn't keep my hands off of DS1 on my first playthrough and DS2 went by really quickly as well.

Yeah killing a red who has the AF symbol equipped counts as a double concord

It's done barehanded too, and also claw like, a la bloodborne riposte.

I love the fact that fist weapons get the bloodborne visceral when you riposte large enemies. Pulling Yhorm's teeth out is so satisfying.

I played DS1 and 2 before and enjoyed my first playthrough much more than these two combined. I literally saw it as a perfect game.

Does fume actually have more range than the other ultras? I've heard every weapon with similar movesets have the same hit box but I don't know if that is true or not

Fuck me

I do not know.
It probably has the same hitboxes as the Greatsword copypasted, in all honesty.

Unfortunately, it's nigh impossible to check accurately but I would be very willing to believe that a lazy copypaste job was the sum total of effort that the ultras got, considering how fucking awful they are.
