Is he, dare I say, our guy ?

How good is the shield WA glitch with stomp? Is it worth it?

I've been testing it with glaives all day and I just don't see the point. With the WK Halberd you do way more damage with a simple R1 R1 combo while 2H, even if you do a full combo (which uses up all of your FP and stamina, btw) you're only doing the same or potentially less than a R1 R1 attack, what's the point? It looks cool but it's functionally worthless and costs way too much FP.

Then with the BK Glaive I've been testing all day today, again in invasions. This is actually a lot more useful to be fair, but I don't see it being worth having to 1H the BKG. You do more damage and honestly you're better off just doing the same old R1 L2 R1 or even R1 L2 R2 combos, they just do way more damage and are easier to pull off consistently, and you get the much better 2H moveset. I much prefer using an offhand crossbow that I can switch to from 2H and then go back to 2H after I hit someone, it's just way more practical and effective.

I just don't think it's worth bothering with on the spin2win weapons in all honesty. The polearms, at least.

1. They couldn't release a new chromehounds because Sega still owned the rights
2. Most of the worst parts of V (horribly unbalanced multiplayer weapons)
3. V sucked mostly because of the really bad graphics/matchmaking/server issues.
4. For all the shit that V was, verdict day kicks ass. Verdict Day and Chromehounds are the only good multiplayer games made by From Software.

>>161928227
Also, the lack of patching was entirely Bamco's fault. They were actively trying to kill AC because it competed with their gundam line, so they only released patches when the community complained about it.

>most of the worst parts of V

Most of the worst parts of V (horribly unbalanced mutliplayer weapons) were taken from dark souls as an attempt to introduce more 'gritty melee' combat into the series and less of an emphasis on guns. This lead to a shitton of super unfair melee weapons and just horrible balance in general.

>>161928159
Good argument.

>>161928227
verdict day was not good, the mechanics regressed back to ac2 levels

>>161928438
>ACFA the pinnacle

Ah yeah, you're one of those people. You think that slow mechs means that the mechanics of the game are simpler/worse

ACV/VD is way more complicated and better designed than FA.

Did you know that For Answer was basically built on the same engine as Last Raven, but they just tweaked the values to insane levels and ruined the optimization? The only gameplay changes from LR to FA was changing "heat" to "PA" and revising the lock on system.

Meanwhile VD is sitting here with multi-threshold damage, dynamic acceleration, about 5-6 different melee options, the most number of pvp viable parts of any game, the hardest hardmode missions of the franchise, hitboxes that actually make fucking sense, muzzle velocities that can actually hit players, and all in all more actual strategy in the combat instead of "RAPID DODGE GRENADE SPAM" that ACFA was.

VD is the best AC PS3 AC game, it has probably the most complex and in-depth combat system of any From Software game.

FA is just fun for people who don't want to play the game for more than 2 hours. FA also looks pretty, I guess. FA actually regressed the series by removing variable acceleration and multi missile lock on, getting rid of maps that actually mattered.

>>161928903
FA was 'decent' single player despite a myriad of issues. VD was 'decent' single player with a solid, fantastic multiplayer and gameplay that doesn't break when you use just a few weapons.

If 4 or FA's story wasn't interesting, they would be both be tied for worst game in the franchise, excluding V and Ninebreaker because of their bugs/crashing on launch. VD is just as good ast Last Raven or AC2/AC2AA though.

>>161928592
>he let the fire that is tied to the very wellbeing of the world die
>just because a snake telling him that he will become a lord doing so

>>161929347
And that doesn't even begin to get into VD's AI programming system, damage-relative-to-acceleration melee weapons, stability/recoil resistance mechanics, etc. All of which were desperately needed in the franchise but not present before.

Look at PvP videos of verdict day vs FA and you'll see a pattern where players have to actually strategist and plan whereas FA is just jousting and missile spamming to tank the framerate.

Get off miyazaki's dick and actually learn how to play a game before thinking it's 'regressing' a franchise.

second of all, I'm not even that guy, but you're fucking autistic if you think FA ""regressed"" the series

you can say it modernized it, casualized it, dumbed it down, whatever -- something subjective like that, if you really feel that way -- but it wasn't in any way regressed. FA was proof that From Software could actually pump out a modern game and not be archaic pieces of shit and was also a huge part of miyazaki's rise through the company

That's the point, roll r1 is the only really good move, so you can't do a good move while still, if you roll towards them, any weapon can R1 and trade and win. So they need to roll and be out of the distance of your weapon.

How acceleration works in FA:
Every part accelerates at the same rate, no matter what you use, so every AC reaches top speed at the same time.

How acceleration works in VD:
Accelleration varies depending on how far you move the analog stick, as well as how fast you were going, forming a 3 part exponential curve so you can both twitch dodge and accelerate slowly up to top speed. The shape of this curve can be modified using different parts.

How damage works in FA:
Every shot is reduced by some % of damage depending on your defense, no matter how small or how large the shot is. After you take enough damage, your PA drops, and you take an additional % of damage while it is down. There are only 2 damage types. It's stupid easy to build for the best defense/speed because every weapon does the same % of its total damage.

How damage works in VD:
Damage forms a 3 part curve based on the threshold of damage you take (Attack > Defense, Attack > Defense * 1.3, Attack < Defense). The higher the ratio, the more damage you do, with breakpoints at the switch between each curve. This means that EVERY AC has weaknesses and strengths, since any combination of weapons can be used to combat any combination of defenses. There is no optimal defense/weight ratio, unless you know the opponent's weapons ahead of time. This creates a dynamic metagame where players can actually use a variety of builds. There are 3 defense types.

How Melee works in FA:
Every sword uses a predetermined animation and lunge toward the target, auto-tracking for you. Damage is based on how many frames while your sword is out that you connect, usually only 1-2 frames since ACs are moving so fast.

How melee works in VD:
There are multiple melee types, some of which depend on the acceleration of the AC at the time of impact and the total weight of the AC. Every melee weapon has a different swing but also different shaped hitbox. Melee hitboxes can be tracked and guided using movement.

>>161931770
How tracking and lock on works in FA:
There is a circular lockbox in the middle of the screen, but it's invisible. Inside this lock box you just instantly lock on with everything. Outside of it, and the closer you get to the edges of the screen, it takes longer to lock on. Muzzle velocity of weapons is extremely low, and arm tracking is extremely poor. This means that >70% of your shots are likely to miss, no matter how or when they are fired, because it takes at least half a second to reach the enemy. Arm tracking is the same no matter how close or how far the enemy is, so close up weapons are not more accurate either. Muzzle velocity is the same speed no matter what and shots fly in a perfectly straight line.

How tracking works in VD:
You have a circular lock box in the middle of the screen (same as FA) but its now visible Lock on is not possible outside of this circle. Weapons have varied muzzle velocities and the range of combat is narrower. Arm tracking is dynamic depending on the range, so close range guns are now actually possible to hit with. Bullets now have muzzle velocity decreases depending on a friction value and damage is connected to the speed of the shot. They also have bullet drop due to gravity now too.

How impact and stagger works in FA:
Shots produce no stagger until their impact force exceeds your stability, then your AC is pushed away in the direction of the shot, but still able to move.

How impact and stagger works in VD:
Stagger depends on the action you're doing at the time, as well as 2 stats (recoil resistance and stability). If you are heavily staggered, it will drop your defenses down to 80% (which, since it's a threshold system, makes you vulnerable to far more weapons) for 2 seconds. If you are staggered in mid-melee or while standing still / ready position, you can poise through it, but if you are staggered during glide boost movement, you will crash and fall to the ground in a custom animation.

>>161931315
I want you to actually answer this >>161931418

I have a hunch you faggots who always say "you need to rely on the enemy being aggressive" actually mean
>you have to play so passively that the enemy gives up and lets you kill him

>>161931602
It's pretty good but the WA, which is supposed to stun people into one R1, doesn't always work and they can roll out. I even had one person from this thread tell me that it never worked for him and he thought it wasn't supposed to do that. I'm pretty lucky, it works often for me. You can even beat curved sword users with it if you're good enough, because you win the trades, you just need to get used to the relatively slow speed, and don't spam the WA when they look like they're ready for it. Once you land the WA once, feel free to spam it, because most people suck at getting out of that when they're close and you can catch them again and again as they desperately roll backwards.

>>161931872
How weapons work in FA:
All weapons in FA are either a basic gun, a missile, a pile, or a sword, and all use the same animations in their class and vary only slightly in muzzle velocity, the model /color used for the shot, accuracy, and the damage. Spreadshot weapons use a stock spread each time.
How special weapons work in VD:
VD has unique bullet and animation models for each class of weapon, including some explosive area of effect weapons as well as randomly generated spreads for the spreadshot weapons. Only weapons within the same class share shot/explosion animations, but they also have many classes with only a single weapon. There are also a class of weapon that charges up before firing, with muzzle velocity, impact, and damage relative to the charge level (and it’s another 3 part curve, not a linear more charge = more damage. No charge = 30% damage, max damage at 80% charge, max velocity at 100% charge ) There is a class of slow moving explosive energy weapons, there is a class of weapons that fires in a parabolic arc, etc.


I could go on and on and on.

They put a LOT of care into designing V/VD very carefully and very good to avoid the simplistic, dumbed down, and frankly terrible for multiplayer gameplay that FA had.

>>161930647
It's been known for a long time that the in-game stats for FA are using the same formulas from LR, minus a few things (LR actually had dynamic accelleration, FA doesn't). FA uses a new graphics engine but the gameplay engine is closest to AC3, since they removed a lot of the ACLR complexities regarding movement, tracking, and stat/animation variability in weapons.

>>161931991
I honestly don't know what allows them to sometimes escape the charge but my guess is that it's somehow tied to whatever stun meter the game uses to maintain universal 2-hit combo system going apeshit from a barrage of stun attacks and reset earlier than it should. Or maybe it's a simple lag. Happens pretty rarely for me though.

>people who do nothing but run away from you and spam pyromancies
>spam "point down" when the match inevitably times out
jesus christ.
Why did they get rid of the "lower HP loses" mechanic from DS2? Atleast then you could just tag those faggots with a dinky knife then let them play their shitty pussy game until they lose

>>161931641
The WA is okay. If you do it at point blank, the first hit stuns into the rest. The issue is that if there's even a tiny bit of latency, then anyone can roll away from it, like some dagger combos. At long range, you can hope people aren't used to the range and don't double roll. It's very good at catching people who roll into you though, one of its best uses.

>>161931947
Whips need such specific ways to fight against people, as I said, every time he rolled, you had to be into the whip range but outside your own weapon range. The windows you have for those tend to be so small it's just too hard to get enough of them in a fight for a tiny bit of damage. I suggest you try whips to see how their playstyle is like

>>161931991
>>161932314
This is just a theory, but I noticed most times I escaped it versus other people, they started it point blank and I was stunned by the first part of the charge

>>161932212
>>161931872
>>161931770

And the cherry on the cake:

ARMORED CORE V/VD MECHS ARE FASTER THAN FA MECHS.

FA mechs move at higher speeds. No question. But the ranges are so far and the mechs are so large that the apparent speed of the enemy on-screen is a lot slower.

Because they're smaller in-game and the field of view is different, ACVD mechs move on screen MUCH faster than FA mechs. They're twitchier and dodge quicker.

ACV only feels slower because you move across the ground slower, but if you ignore the ground and focus on the actual enemies moving around you, people whizz by at much faster speeds, and the top speeds for movement are still comparable to FA, at roughly ~1000 kph.

All in all, FA mechs move across the ground about 20% faster, but they are 300% larger and fight at 300% longer ranges, making them roughly half the speed of VD mechs.

Also, since VD has wider dynamic range for damage, players die much faster. This makes gameplay way faster than FA, as long as you know how to actually play the game.


So fuck off with your "VD is a shitty game" nonsense. It makes FA look like Tetris by comparison.

>>161932527
You're not answering my question. I know whips are shitty weapons. I've PvPd with whips before. I like PvPing with shitty weapons.

You're not answering why you're defending the strategy of running away until a match times out because you can't get safe hits in otherwise.

Problems with Dark Souls 3

-Spells double dip, should take FP not FP and Stamina.
-Slower weapons need more than HA on the beginning frames to be viable.
-Most WAs are useless, the Tootsiepop tech is just a temporary solution and will likely get patched
-Little to know depth in PvP
-Aggressor is always at the disadvantage, it's a reason why passive-reactionary play is the best way to play currently
-Nerf quality/buff str and buff dex builds to quality levels (buff the heavy and sharp infusions)
-Reduce FP costs for Sorceries/Miracles/Pyromancies across the board
-Reduce iframes of current roll system to DaS1 equivalent.

Vast majority of WAs are either situational or quite useful, there's a very small amount of straight useless WA.

Just like all other souls games then

Just like in all souls games then
In fact, this problem is not limited to souls games alone. Defending side always has an advantage over attacking.
>-Nerf quality/buff str and buff dex builds to quality levels (buff the heavy and sharp infusions)
Fuck no, this won't achieve anything. At best they should change the scaling of some weapon categories to be more str (maces) or dex-based (katanas), giving all weapons full damage from one stat scaling is retarded.
>-Reduce FP costs for Sorceries/Miracles/Pyromancies across the board
True
>-Reduce iframes of current roll system to DaS1 equivalent.
When you retards will understand that this will break pve and nobody will ever do it just to satisfy an irrelevant group of pvpers.

>>161933870
>-Most WAs are useless, the Tootsiepop tech is just a temporary solution and will likely get patched
I don't really think so. In 1v1 duels where the enemy has your full atention, WAs suffer from being easy to spam roll dodge. They're most fun to use in 1v3 situations, especially the AoE ones.
The root issue here are the spam rolls. WAs would require a lot more skill to dodge if you couldn't achieve close to 100% iframes on spamrolling.

>-Little to know depth in PvP
Same issue again. When in doubt, spam rolls. Nothing can harm you unless you commit to an attack, but that's why you're using a washing pole and spam running R1s, right?

>-Aggressor is always at the disadvantage, it's a reason why passive-reactionary play is the best way to play currently
Estus being strong and rolling being strong is the reason passive-reactionary play is the best. See washing pole comment. No commitment required in DS3 pvp, and it's easy to just run away and heal up 15 times in invasions.
Invader being at an inherent disadvantage is only marginally relevant here. Though I agree there should be some mechanic to force people you invade through the level so they can't just wait at the bonfire, wether they gank or not. Those are the most boring invasions.

>-Nerf quality/buff str and buff dex builds to quality levels (buff the heavy and sharp infusions)
I don't think strength needs a buff and I'm saying that as someone who has 4 pure str characters using different greatweapons. Quality damage does deserve a nerf, and strength desperately needs to be able to buff their weapons. Most quality weapons are buffable. Most strength weapons aren't, just on principle. It's weird.

>-Reduce FP costs for Sorceries/Miracles/Pyromancies across the board
I agree with that. I'd also like to see a base damage buff for all of them so you're not forced to wear the same 2-3 rings to actually do any damage at all with them. 250 damage sunlight spears at 45 faith are mindboggling.

You have to be fair. DS2 is on another continent. DS3 is physically very close to where DS1 was.

>emit force and titanite slab from quest

>>161936303
Dark Souls 2 has TWO major references that's

-Ornstein
-Gargoyles

However, I can forgive Gargoyles because they're not really UNIQUE enemies. But they rehash the same music forcing that nostalgia moment. But DaS3 does this more 3x more than DaS2.

Also DaS2's subtle/minor references are slim and you have to dig for them. Where as DaS3 is straight up in your face almost patronizing you as if you didn't know anything about the game or can't remember. Look at
>>161934683

Emit force literally says in the description that it's something all catarina knights know to do. Titanite slabs are standard "quest rewards" in souls games.

>>161936831
The spiders ate the Tseldora people, also the mutated inhabits dropped the set as well. That makes sense.
The statues are wearing the sets, just a statue/petrified version. It doesn't make sense for them to drop but not a lot of things in these games do. But you can literally see the set they wear

Alright fuck guys can we stop pretending to be retarded and realize that Seigward exists to reference Seigmeyer?
This isn't inherently bad, he's just a shit character in comparison and ends his quest making a trash Demon Souls reference even easier.

DS3 is a sequel, so it's fine when it references past shit. Old Demon King is fucking baller.
There's just weak ass shit like "XD le toast, praise the sun Onion bro" that gets forced as fuck. There are a lot of shallow NPCs across Souls series.
Doesn't help that every single one in DS3 kills themselves on quest completion, I guess to try and avoid writing more lines.

Dark Souls 2 references were pointless fanservice, terribly shoehorned into the game. At least Dark Souls 3 gives a reason for why the references are there, and it's more of a direct sequel. One of the only exceptions is Andre being there, which makes no sense. Meanwhile in Dark Souls 2 you get things like this:

Lightning Spear description

>A miracle that launches a spear of lightning.
>Said to be the legacy of an ancient clan whose leader
>was revered as the God of Sun.

>The name of the clan has been lost to time, but the

She did not.
Siegmeyer came of as proud in his mannerisms, Sieglinde came of as more polite and softspoken.
Even so, in a way she did only exist to reference her father. When the player meets Sieglinde and she asks about her father, the first thing that's supposed to come to mind is Siegmeyer. If Siegmeyer were not in Lordran, she wouldn't be either. Her entire reason for being there is looking for her father.

>>161937450
>Sieglinde did not act like Siegmeyer at all,

That's such a Siegmeyer thing to do. I can't believe they're dropping so many Siegmeyer references in DS1. So lazy.

Dark Souls 3 should have just taken place somewhere else secluded from Lordran. Show us more about the EAST where Shiva and Alonne come from.

DaS3 proves how bad A-Team is at writing sequels. Shit on B-Team all you want at least the game wasn't a reference or a callback every 5 fucking seconds.

DS3 didn't HAVE to be on the same location/continent. They chose that because Bandai Namco told them to make it full of DS1 references to bring fans back.

Literally no from soft game prior to DS3 is set in the exact same setting with the same names and characters. Even if they're direct sequels they have completely different characters and the references are just item /character descriptions, not in complete locations and plot points.

DS3 is full of fanservice, and that's not what they should do.

Why? The 'East' has no thematical connection to the First Flame, it's only natural that the final Dark Souls game takes place within Lordran but also mixes in other transitory lands of Lords of Cinder like Drangleic, Thorolund and possibly Eleum Loyce?

I actually defended Dark Souls 2 back then when everyone and I mean hundreds of people hated on it on this general, but the truth is that Dark Souls 3 is just better. There are a few things that Dark Souls 2 had which were nice and Miyazaki decided to scrap them instead of keep improving on them because of the massive community backlash, but that's it.

The only thing that is up to personal opinion is PvP, because Dark Souls 2 PvP was really balanced, but things like the abominable Soul Memory, bad animations and clunky controls make me hesitate towards calling it better.

Because the conversation happens everyday and it's annoying.

>Seigward is an original character, in no way could anyone see him and think of Seigmeyer
I'm not sure if you're rusing me or genuinely suck this much dick. No one agrees with you, especially not the people who created that character, or fucking shit the people who made DS3.

When you fought the Soul of Cinder did you not think of Gwyn too you fucking faggot?

>>161937643
>Patches is ok but not Seigward
Who are you comparing Patches to dumbass? Fucking Patches, who is glorious in every entry.
I'm saying Seigward is a shit version of Seigmeyer, I fucking prefaced this entire fucking argument by saying it's ok for DS3 to reference past shit.

For example, I think the dragon fag crestfallen is better than the one in DS2 that just sits on his ass and shills the bitch boi covenant.

>>161938786
That doesn't answer my question either.

Why would you post a strawpoll that you denounce as biased in the same breath?

It's ok if you don't have an answer. That's an answer in itself.

Look all I'm saying is there is nothing wrong with call backs, but this is something wrong when almost 90% of your game is call backs and references. Like can you fucking please give original content? The souls universe's ending "RESET" gives you many options to play with and you had to play it safe and just a worse DaS1.

>>161938865
>When you fought the Soul of Cinder did you not think of Gwyn too you fucking faggot?
Are you really that dumb? Soul of Cinder is the direct fucking successor of Gwyn.
The bossfight itself is designed to resemble a player from DS1. Who is the successor of Gwyn.

I mean shit nigger, next thing you tell me is that linking the fire is a blatant rehash of DS1.

>>161938707
To avoid people farming heavily early on and ruining the game experience. They put in a covenant that allows you to make enemies continually respawn, but at higher difficulty, as well as items that reset respawns but advanced that area's difficulty and item drops to NG+ levels.

>>161938707
People complaining about infinitely respawning enemies.

>>161938707

1.) It's a completely different character
2.) Gwyn is dead lol, how could it even be him?

You're stupid
>>161938790
Google it
>>161938281
Mechanically and gameplay wise? Yes
But what doesn't beat out DaS2 gameplay, that really isn't saying much.
But DaS2 outclasses DaS3 in every other field ESPECIALLY originality

>>161938790

Not an image one for the current patch. Right now the only weapons I would even consider putting in top-tier are the Washing Pole and Gargoyle Flame Spear, and even then I'm not that sure.

>>161939139
>>161938760
>>161939034
Still though, I need/want to farm some human effigy so I can reliably have my humanity.

And what kind of autist thinks you'll stop from overgrinding when you can Co-op for more souls?

>Play some arena
>buff my weapon
>throw a duel charm at enemy
>Get hatemail
>decide to do some duels outside pontiff
>buff my weapon
>throw a duel charm while they gesture
>get hate mail

I don't understand, it's called a Duel charm and they have access to it, why wouldnt they use it

>>161939183
I'd say every weapon with an unpunishable running attack is top tier and unbeatable atm if played right.
So, katanas, to an extent straight swords, most spears (garg just does the most damage for its length), greatswords if onehanded.
Things like curved sword regular r1 attacks are also borderline unpunishable due to nonexistant recovery frames.

>Morion blade
>RTSR
>Miracle rings
>lightning spear does 400 damage

>Morion blade
>rtsr
>pyro rings
>dark orb does 1200 damage

>morion blade
>RTSR
>sorcery rings
>CSS does 1400 damage

>lloyds sword ring
>refined straight sword 40/40
>does 300-400 damage per swing

How is this remotely fair? By the time it takes to cast and throw the spell I will already do equal to if not double the damage by mashing R1

>>161939304
i think you already know this. if you buff and they dont charm you, they assume you will do the same. but you want to have your cake and eat it too

>>161939034
>ruining the game experience
Yeah instead if you're a shit player you can just despawn the mobs from an area with continuous grinding and you can be cucked out of items you can only get as drops if you despawn all the mobs before getting the item.

Mob despawns and Soul Memery were flat out dumb ideas and the Covenant of Champions and Agape Ring were applying bandage to a fractured bone.

>>161939132
I didn't know he and his wife were even divorced, he just got her into the States,right? What could've happened to prompt this sort cut shit. I knew they were having a rough time because of the miscarriages but still :/

>>161937708

How the fuck do you parry with katanas?

>>161939579
thats the thing, she was only looking to get citizenship

likely never even cared about him

Anyone want a PC FC? I can host

>>161939482

Most katanas aside from the Washing Pole and maybe the Chaos Blade are too short to have an 'unpunishable' running attack, they're easily predictable and dodgeable or are in position to HA trade with if you're using say a Greatsword easily. Straight Sword running attacks also have noticeable start-up frames that make them worse then katanas for this purpose aside from not being thrusting attacks as well, same problem with Greatsword running attacks.

Curved Sword regular R1s are insanely fast still but the only ones that's a problem with are the very long ones like Carthus and Storm Curved, and since the AR nerfs the Carthus Curved Sword loses out in R1 trades to basic Straight Swords.

This is the shit I'm talking about.

>>161939160
Atmosphere, world design, lore. Gameplay isn't the only thing that Dark Souls 3 did better.

>>161938281
Yeah and for a while. It seemed like it was the only and last sequel, only opened more questions and had that thing where the lore was too vague, but i enjoyed it nonetheless.

>>161939614
nothing

>>161939763
Quelaag's theme plays during ODK fight does that make him Quelaag?

>>161939763
>>Soul of Cinder is designed to resemble Gwyn
Soul if Cinder is not designed to resemble Gwyn. He's designed to resemble the DS1 player, who is the successor to Gwyn.

>Siegward is not designed to resemble Siegmeyer
Siegward is not designed to resemble Siegmeyer, he's designed to resemble a typical catarina knight, like Siegmeyer was.

I don't know why you're having such a hard time understanding simple concepts such as these. It might be you have some sort of mental disability.

>>161939712

In an hour if you're up for it then.

>>161939802
>Atmosphere
non existent
>world design
worst in the series, DaS2 has shit that doesn't make sense but the individual levels themselves are leaps and bounds over DaS3
>lore
if by lore you mean DaS1 lore, the majority of the bosses in DaS3 are related to Artorias or Gwyn

>Use Red Eye orb in Corvian settlement
>Invade a host that is into the fly room

Goddamnit.

Will he ever stop?

>>161939675
But they have a child together...
I hope you're shitting me. I think enb has questionable ethic when it comes to his work and honestly his twitch streams are super bland because he's completely different from his youtube self when 80% of the time he talks he's not talking relevant stuff about the game, he's memeing with the twitch chat and talking to people you can't see in the yt vids. But despite his content going downhill, he's still a friendly and down to earth personality and it seriously sucks if someone honestly duped him like that.
but you were just memeing on me,right?

>>161940069
Calling him a DS2 fag is an insult to the few people who liked DS2 and aren't complete faggots about it

>>161940182
>But they have a child together...
so?

>>161940218
That's what he is though, every argument he throws up is "But DS3 is just a rehash of 1 DS2 was better and new!"

>>161939763
From make a sequel, but tries to make a new world vaguely related to the first, people shit on it because muh lore and no praise the sun.
make another sequel now it's more related to the original game, now it's unoriginal and only panders to nostalgic faggits. It I think it's time to play some other games.

You don't purposely make a child with someone you have no intention of staying with,right?
Although,this raises an utterly horrifying point...
What if she intentionally miscarried two times because she only needed one anchor baby?

>>161940182
Well, you have to understand what happens when you get a mail order bride, which is more or less what he did. I don't say this as an insult or something, and I know from acquintances that this is the common course of events.

>white western man goes to poor regions of asia to find a woman (or orders one)

>woman eventually comes to the west, marries the dude thinking he's a big provider and a crosius

Right, much like there are poor regions in the US or Western Europe. Surely she would realize from her experience in Japan that ENB wasn't rich by US standards.

Naw, it's pretty frequent for citizenship marriages to end up with a kid. A kid is a ticket to child support, which means that an uneducated women from the 3rd world can receive enough money to live off of without ever needing to work.
