Just how did From make Demon's Souls so good? This game is simply a joy to play. After that Anon asked for help with Flamelurker, I decided to play a bit again. I did the Shrine of Storms. Put down my Soul Sign and somehow got summoned in less than five minutes.. the summoner sadly died very quickly.

Not that guy but the games will never be PC exclusive, so the best case scenario is either a PS4 exclusive or PC/PS4 (which is probably just as unlikely as PC exclusive).

Guys I need help. I suck, I have no clue how to fight greats words anymore. I feel like I can't trade or fight any 2hand greatsword user without resorting to my own. Everything bar great clubs poise them, and nothing staggers them except fucking Curved GS and Ultra class weapons.

>>159850108
>What the fuck was this great sword buff for?
for keeping things like the saber from being completely overpowered, but since the saber and CCS are getting nerfed, I'd imagine GS are next since there'll be less a reason for them to be as powerful as they are provided that the curved sword nerf is significant

Walking backwards with projectiles works on them, their running attacks aren't particularly snappy even though they have fairly nice hitboxes. Though a GS user can have their own crossbow and all, not to mention a lothric beam or pyromancy if they're using onyx.

>>159850108
don't trade with a 2h GS user unless you know you have more poise health

So use something that allows you to dodge and quickly smack them as they charge you, most shit GS users will 2h/1h lock on, the real threat are the guys who can corner cut you 1handed unlocked, they're not only immune to parries but they can catch bad rolls and hit you 4 times in a row.

I feel like I'm cheating when I play 1h GS unlocked, it's insanely strong right now with current GS speed and the wide arc swings also great for gank busting shitters who mindlessly charge at you with straight swords.

DS3's PvE is probably the best out of the Souls series yet. Yes, there are some trash bosses but for the most part the bosses are fast, have solid visual design and even the mob bosses have decent mechanics to them.

The levels themselves also have thoughtful mob placement and fighting mobs is actually fun again since they are more aggressive this time around.

>>159858779
That's such an awkward fix. OHKOs are fine. The problem is parries are too fucking easy and any brain dead idiot will get one eventually if they spam when it's safe.

The problem is you can't punish parry spam easy enough. Kick > R1 only works if they're trying to parry your face and WA combos and jump attacks can be rolled away from unless you're parrying way too late.

If they gimped caestus recovery so it was more like every other parry tool in the game it would be fine because you can reliably punish those with backstabs and kicks and shit. The only advantage it should have is earlier frames, at the cost of less frames over all. Having fast recovery on top of that is just stupid.

They should rebind left handed moveset:
L1 for left handed weapons - weak attack (R1 analog)
L2 - R2 analog or WA?

>>159860240
If your first run through PvE isn't solo you're awful anyway. In fact even calling a 'no summon' run a challenge tells me you're fucking terrible at the game.

Let's look at the Iron Round Shield, shall we?
>roughly the same physical block %, 67 instead of 68
>62 stability instead of 59
>weighs 2 lbs instead of 3

Why not use the Iron Round Shield as the best small shield that can parry? The only thing the Llewellyn has going for it over the Iron is better non-physical blocking stats (in the 60's instead of 30-40's), but are you really going to be trying to block spells and fireballs and shit? I would never do that, I just need the ability to tank a hit or two from weapons, maybe block some arrows, and have high enough stability to not get guard broken. 62 stability is a huge deal, it's only 4 less than a lothric knight shield, 7 less than black knight shield. It's the highest stability shield that still gets small shield parry frames.

Iron Round Shield for President.

Hear me out

Dudes it's time to accept that 1-3 take place in separate paintings.
I mean come on, lands converging because..why, how? Does the world have some will of its own? lol
Makes no sense. Someone is puzzling the remaining pieces of the paintings together and thus the lands converge because they are part of the same painting now even though they originally weren't.
It's paintings within paintings and even when you manage to leave a painting, you never know if you ended up in the real world or ever will. Same as with Bloodborne's dream layers.

>>159858865
I think it was simply that DaS3 is basically a mod of Bloodborne, or a total conversion, if you like. It would've been too much work to take the combat that far away from BB and back to being like DaS so they went for "Bloodborne with shields and more (useless) spells".

That kind of thing is really suitable for PvP but, if it's not to your taste, it's fucking awful for PvP and makes a lot of the game feel like PvP with bots.

>>159861369

THE MOTHERLOAD

>>159861369
The series uses painting because it's an easy way to just tack on another area that's totally different from whatever area you were just in. In DaS1 you can just teleport from an elegant city to an icy crag in the middle of nowhere. In DaS3 you can just teleport from a little chapel to an icy shithole. In DaS2 they had those kings' altars to teleport you (including once to an icy craggy shithole).

Thinking about it, for a series known for its really cool connection between areas, DaS1 repeatedly just teleported you between places with a cutscene. Asylum to Firelink, Sen's to Anor Londo, Anor Londo to Ariandel, Darkroot to Oolacile, Firelink to kiln...

>>159860981

It doesn't, it's a small shield, it has small shield parry frames which are still good. If you've got some source proving otherwise you could link to it but otherwise I highly doubt it, it has the small shield parry animation and everything.

>>159861373
Well people liked BB's combat, no? And not having played BB, I'd say Dark Souls 3 is basically more Demon's Souls than any other game of the series(especially now that Hyperarmor is worth shit), but with a better health system and balanced on the fastroll being the default.

Yeah, the rolling can be kinda op, but desu I think the fast gameplay of DaS3 is more what the veterans of the series would prefer instead of the game being balanced for fatrolling newbies like Demon's and Dark 1.

>>159861519

It's no different for turn-based, really. The newer XCOMs actually play better and were clearly designed for controllers. There are loads of SJRPGs like FFT which are great.

It's just RTS that are awful on console - although it's questionable how much of that is strategy and how much is just APM (hence why they're bad on consoles - they depend so much on APM and really quick accurate selections rather than pure strategy).

>>159861460
>just because

>>159861557
It's so fast and hyper, though. DeS is actually ridiculously sedate, slow and deliberate, even compared to DaS1. It's got that BB thing of huge scraggly enemies filling the screen and dashing all over the fucking place. It seems to have a similar contempt for defensive play (outside of rolling around like a ninja 1000 times a second) as BB, where DeS doesn't have that and indeed is perhaps the most "wait for an opening, slowly does it" of the whole series.

It was the first map they made for the game and it's more like a "test map" for Dark Souls 1, as they crammed everything that made Demon's Souls maps cool into that one area (notice how it has a lot of familiar elements from 1-1 like Phalanx, cutting down a hanging corpse, the gate and well as a design element from 3-2, the spiral staircase up the tower) and they decided put the level into the game as an extra but had no real logical progress to it.

>You suck at RTSes and have never played a grand strategy game,
It doesn't matter how good I am at them. I'm sure you suck at tennis but you still know it's not about how accurately you can kick a ball. I know that APM is critical to play at a higher level in RTS, I know that it's more of a logistics test than a strategy game. You try to get an efficient build order and follow certain steps as fast as possible. Unit composition is based around clear counters and then it's just down to micro. To restate that, macro is just logistics, micro is APM and mouse accuracy. Strategy is very slight in it.

Grand Strategy is very similar but only turn-based so you lose the APM/mouse accuracy side of it. There is an optimal way to play those games and it's all logistics with a slight bit of deviation like "My opponent depends on horses for early military advantage so I'll deprive them of horses".

Yeah, but it was the first game of the series and people had to learn the base mechanics of the game before being thrown the bigger challenges.

With Dark Souls 3 they wanted to include people familiar with BB mechanics as well as the people used to the old mechanics of the series and I think considering all of it, they do quite well with the game.

Are medium shield parries really that bad? I feel like maybe if you use something like a spear with long reach and bait them into something like a running or rolling R1 that you could parry people consistently because they don't think you'll parry, right? I mean yeah you probably can't sight parry shit but if you can frustrate them enough with your 100% blocks and only go for specific kinds of obvious attacks so they aren't trying to constantly backstab you I think it could work.

>>159861959
I don't think it did defensive play elegantly at all.
For a game with no less than 61 shields in the game blocking usually the worst choice you could make against most bosses because they all have multiple attacks that guard break you instantly if you use anything smaller than a great shield. Why bother with any of that when spamming roll is the best defensive option in almost every scenario.

Only shitters will let you parry them. I'm sure only mid-tier players actually think parrying is a reliable tool against a certain tactic.

It's just the running attack that's annoying. When semi good people use it they know when not to use it because they foresee your parry attempt. Those people just use it to fuck with you and go on your nerves and would do fine with other shit. Fuck em though

>People on Reddit, including the community manager, think 'reduced attack power' is enough to stop CCS

People are so fucking dumb I want to kill myself. The AR would have to be gimped so bad for that weapon to not be so effective, and if the past is anything to go by, that won't happen.

I don't think parrying is reliable against a good player who mixes up his attacks. However, if we're talking about scrubs who just spam WD attack with the WP or rolling pokes or whatever, parry becomes an effective counter to that.

That's precisely why the parry mechanic exists: to counter spammy, predictable play.

>>159862485
The other option vs the WP WD attacks is to simply equip a shield and hold L1.

Anyway, I agree it's a decent weapon. I'm experimenting with it myself at the moment. I can't figure out whether I like the WP or the Chaos Blade more.

is luck/hollow weapons still a build? i know people used it before because it was more effective for bleed, but now it seems people just use rouge with a quality build
did they do something to lucc?

>>159862554
My main problem with the Carthus is that it does so much damage that it wins trades against other weapons. As long as the AR drops to the point where they have to do something else than trading, I will be happy. It will still have the obnoxious recovery time and speed, but they will have to play better. I don't mind it still being a top tier weapon. If the AR drops enough that the other curved swords are less bad compared to it, that will be a bonus. I would like seeing more Storm Curved Swords, Falchions, and Pontiff CS.

Alright, I expected Vordt to be more of a fight but apparently a +2 Longsword accounts for much.

>>159862737
I'm curious about this as well.

AFAIK Luck doesn't do that much for bleed. It basically just makes it so that you trigger bleed in 4 hits rather than 5 if you have 40 luck. But Rouge does that anyway.

I have noticed that Hollow infusion gives weapons the highest AR in most cases. So maybe that's worth it?

>I can't figure out whether I like the WP or the Chaos Blade more.

I think Chaos Blade is definitely more fun. It's less cheesy because of its shorter range, but the fact that the R1s combo and do so much damage opens new possibilities other than running attack spam, and it can actually be useful, I find myself using the normal R1s a lot. Of course the running R1s are still your bread and butter, but you will have another viable attack for mixup potential. With the Washing Pole I don't feel like the R1s are worth it, and with the stupid range the running R1s are even better so there's no reason not to spam them constantly the entire fight.

I wanted to add a greatsword option but I don't know what greatswords are meta.

Don't get me wrong though. GS are ridiculously OP after the buff.

>>159862918
Yeah I love the Chaos Blade as well but it needs 60 DEX to reach its full potential.

The WA parry also feels much more responsive than the WP or other katanas. Not sure if it's actually faster or just in my head.

>>159862880
Witch Zullie is still hotter despite not really being in the game.

>>159862737
>did they do something to lucc?

No, but the extra investment in levels required to make a Luck/Quality build makes it hard to build a character without sacrifices, and Carthus Rouge is so good that you don't lose that much from just using a refined weapon with it. Having some extra AR is nice however, and some weapons benefit a lot from it like Onikiri and Ubadachi. But like I said, you will have to make some sacrifices so it's not very popular at the meta level.

>>159862730
>to counter spammy, predictable play.
That's exactly why I said only shit players let you parry them. I don't know why you felt the need to explain all that to me. There's no point discussing weapon balance with bad players in mind.

>I guess people still haven't learned how to parry the WD attacks...
Implies that it's a reliable counter against anyone using the WP, when it only works against bad players like you said, and in that case it doesn't fucking matter what weapon they're using.

No need to get snarky about it. I though you were referring to those faggots who stack poise and use GS.

Greatshield turtling, while gay, is not cancerous since it's easy to play around.

No fucking shit, did I say it wasn't? It just won't change anything if it's anything like the AR nerfs in the past, faggot.

Patches is actually a real life asshole that enters the Soulsborne universe through the paintings in his office.

It's unclear who it is, but rumors have been circulating underground. You're better off not knowing, though

>>159863085
Nah that's just crazy

>>159863021
With 60 dex you can also get Crow Quills to its full potential, I run Quills + Chaos Blade on my pure dex build and it's very fun. It's also not very stat intensive so you get more points to play with, or you can make the character lower level.

I think Crow Talons are also nice on a 60 dex build, but I didn't try them as they seem underwhelming.

>>159863059
Well in my experience I get parried roughly half the time I use the running attack. I don't consider myself a pro DS player but I'm not just spamming the same move over and over. Good players have learned to deal with katana WDs.

When you see a katana user dashing, get ready to parry. The WD is slower than in previous games, you can see the katana user drop their shoulder and pull back their sword. That's when you parry.

Did anyone figure out what caught people out in the banwave? Embers? Souls? DLC content?

Not really, assuming all you use is the weeb blades you can make a 40vig 40end 40dex 40luk (with 5 points from your weapon, or you could use another hollowed weap in your offhand for another 5) at SL120.

it's even less points needed for warden's since you don't need to put extra points into str like you would with weeb blades.

Is Solaire canonically the chosen undead? It just suits the Link the Fire ending too much. He finds his own sun...

If I can't even defeat the crystal lizard at the start with a knight, should I just uninstall and kill myself?

>>159863362
There are canonically infinite Chosen Undead, since every player character qualifies. Timelines and shit.

Hey fuck you buddy I bet you use CCS and want it to keep dealing as much damage as it does now as a crutch weapon. Your mom is gay.
