yhorm's machete is strong as fuck, but you can only swing it about 2-3 times depending on your stamina and it is all vertical attacks except for the special attack combo. your choice. yhorm'shas higher AR than great club, but the great club has a better moveset IMO.

Why Friede has so much in common with Carthus civilization?

Darn, was hopin' that the coincidence was a bit more.

Unfortunately there's nothing to report to- From simply doesn't care about people who aren't being caught by their cheap "anti-cheat" that is nothing more than a stat/item checker.

This drives me mad. That scene had so much emotional weight to it, like a climax of a long story, but I don't know if it's because I never played so I've missed info about Ludwig or it just isn't there, I don't understand what he means.

Like... the sword has been teaching him stuff? Or it's his truest friend? It's like a glorious crescendo to a song only half heard and makes me crazy.
>>
>>165910246
>no explosions

>>165915876

>Sunken Crown
>Best

Oh Good Lord no
>>
>>165917075
>Ahh, you were at my side all along
The sword was literally stuck in his side (well, almost; more like shoulder).
Beasthood is the opposite of Kinhood, and Ludwig succumbed to beasthood before he could "ascend" to kinhood, and lost the HMLS in the process. He must've thought he'd lost it or it had abandoned him, but it was there, in his flesh.

>My true mentor
The moonlight that surrounds the HMLS' blade is described as being able to "channel the abyssal cosmos". The entire game is about how a splinter group of the Church tried to "ascend" by lining their minds with eyes and becoming one with the cosmos. Whatever knowledge can be gained by doing that, by peering into the moonlit blade, it's hinted that one can perceive those truths and wisdom.

It must not have been clear to Ludwig himself (and indeed I don't think it was necessarily clear to anyone what they really hoped to accomplish by ascending), since he says "Good hunter, have you seen the thread of light?
Just a hair, a fleeting thing, yet I clung to it, steeped as I was in the stench of blood and beasts.
I never wanted to know, what it really was. Really, I didn't."
He must have been drawn to peer into it, but without understanding why.

That's my take, anyway.
>>
>>165917719
Interesting.

Not having it to play I don't quite understand the the beasthood and kinhood stuff.

Beasthood is like getting too caught up in the killing and genuinely transforming into a monster. Never really a very aspirational thing.

The other path is trying to be closer to the Old Ones, but there were different paths to that.
>>
>>165917075
Ludwig is essentially the Artorias of Bloodborne. He appears in many item descriptions, was the first Church hunter and is namedropped by Gehrman but as far as the moonlight stuff goes if there is more explanation to him than that then I must've missed it.

>never played it

The network stuff is handled by Bamco.
From has nothing to do with the bans or network at all.

And they don't care about cheaters unless it's a mass banwave coinciding with a dlc release.
>>
>>165917905
I'm old, out of practive and have bad hands, so I got into all this stuff watching Vaati and other folk YouTubes, as I never thought I could play but loved the stories and speculation.

Only months later did I pick up DS1 to try it myself ($5 on PC, nothing to lose) and find them rather enjoyable in spite of being so terribly bad at them.

Picking up Dark Souls' on Steam Sale is great, but I can't imagine buying a PS4 for just BB, hell I don't even have the place to set one up.

>Not having it to play I don't quite understand the the beasthood and kinhood stuff.
Basically some scholars in Yharnam found this well of Blood far beneath their city. Through experimenting with it they found that it had healing properties, and it became a standard practice to receive blood injections. Yharnam quickly became sort of a mecca for healing.

Meanwhile though a plague had broken out that turned people into monsters, and eventually Yharnam was burned to the ground and started anew. The blood is what was causing the plague, and the longer one resisted turning, the more powerful a beast you became when you finally succumbed.

The Church of Blood Ministration began hiring people to go out and hunt those afflicted, they became known as Hunters.

At some point a splinter group of the Church went off and began experimenting with a new kind of blood, pale blood.

Rather than turning into beasts, this blood would turn you into something else, called Kin in the game. The belief is that Kin is the next evolution of humanity.

This is, again, my take on it all. It's largely left open for interpretation and speculation.

Well ofcourse he's flying, he's a dragon you dipshit. It's a great atmospheric fight, and he never spent 80% of the time flying for me like some people say.
Fume is fun for sure, but he doesn't bring anything new or interesting and feels like pursuer on steroids after 2-3 tries of learning his moveset.
>>
>>165919332
Oh, yeah. Same people.
>>
>>165919157
If you let Sinh come to you instead of chasing him he doesn't fly around nearly as much

>>
>>165919547
It's on sale at the Humble store right now.

Also, make sure you get DsFix, PvP Watchdog, and DSCM.
>>
>>165919157
Another shitty thing about Sinh is that your weapon can fucking break in a middle of battle, though that's more of a problem with horrifying DS2 durability system.

Not that i like Raime too, it's like giving Smelter a longsword in another hand plus a few new moves and calling him a new boss.

The GCS is pretty bad at being a shield (it's heavy, has subpar stability, and not 100% physical), yes.

But not every playstyle uses shield for blocking. Some people keep their shield on their back the entire time, only occasionally taking it out to perform a parry. These people tend to use the GCS, because it's like putting a Cloranthy ring in your otherwise useless shield slot. In other words, the GCS is the best shield for people who don't really use shields.

Hi, I only got recently into Dark Souls and "finished" the first one (I beat Gwyn).
Now I started playing Dark Souls 2 and wanted to make a character more based on spells and decided on pumping points into faith.
At 22 I finally got my first damage spell only to see that it does like 1/5 of a melee attack.
Did I do something wrong? I have points in attunment and faith.
I dont want to read wikis because I dont want to get spoiled and enjoy rather finding things out of my own, but I'm just confused right now.

Don't use miracles if you want to do damage
Put some points in Intelligence and use sorceries, pyromancies, or hexes instead
>>
>>165922627
Oh so I it is just good for the healing spells and the pushback one?
Is it better in DS3 or should I rather focus on sorcery/pyromancy in that one?
>>165922720
Lightning spear, I bought it off the lady that was standing right above the dragonrider(? if that was his name).
I was so hyped that I finally got a damage spell only to be utterly disapponted.
>>
I haven't played Dark Souls 3 since launch, have they fixed magic and miracles yet? I was thinking of going dex/int since I've never done a playthrough with spells.
>>
>>165922829
I wouldn't know what you're doing wrong but when I use lightning spear at around 30-ish faith it usually zaps half the health of my enemies around the heide areas.
>>
>>165922829
>Is it better in DS3 or should I rather focus on sorcery/pyromancy in that one?
DS2:
>better lighting weapons
>one good offensive miracle
>good healing miracles
>one top tier support miracle
DS3:
>worse lighting weapons
>4 good offensive miracles
>outstanding healing miracles because they give you a godlike FP/heal ratio
>one top tier support miracle

Overall DS3's faith is pretty mediocre compared to other casting schools but still solid, though almost all good offensive miracles are late-game.
>>
>>165922946
Do I maybe need a better chime? Or a Ring?
Haven't found either yet. Iam thinking about reskilling right now into a strength build until I find better chimes/ring
>>
>>165922829
I don't know if you are testing it on wrong enemies or something, but i don't remember spears being bad at all against regular enemies
not much use on bosses though
>>
>>165922874
if you want to do a caster, make full caster
dex/int is a hybrid which is better for specialized weapons (GSoJ, Friede's Greatscythe) with supplemental magic like hidden body and spook.
>>
Is the Hollow Soldier Waistcloth good for a sorcerer?
>>
>>165922874
Black flame is ridiculous when cast from the parting flame.

Regen is really good and always has been, but you can get a bunch of it for very little investment.

Darts are pretty good but not that much better than throwing knives. Flame surge is also pretty good.

Great deep soul and black serpent are fun to spam.

Homing soulmass is okay if you don't mind looking like a backstepping jackass.

Weapon buffs are good.

That's about it.

both
it triggers bleed in one, at worst two casts against virtually anything that can bleed, which melts enemies

I played ds3 on release, then dropped it but recently picked it back up to get ready for the DLCs.

Is it just me or are pure dex weapons in DS3 the boringest shit ever?

You get Uchigatana from the start and you can happily use it until you get Chaos Sword.

Hell, I got Chaos Sword real early because my friend told me to kill the NPC that spawns Dancer when I got stuck... Turns out I got the Doll I needed from somewhere, I don't even know where.

Getting Chaos Sword relatively early in the game trivialized a lot of the later content.

>Sounds pretty useful, how good it is compared to regular quality build?
Better as long as you don't plan on using boss weapons, since you can't infuse those with Hollow so you end up with wasted luck points so to say

Used mostly Uchigatana and Longsword in all my DS's. Never really bothered with boss weapons since they are kind of shit. So basically if I decide for this build, I should go with bleed weapons and infuse them with hollowing? Does it also increase damage done raisin?

Hollow, like sharp, is typically best on paired weapons since you don't have a 2h str bonus to lose out on by lowering your str scaling. AR wise on 2h weapons, 40/40 with the rest dumped into luck is usually worse than 40/40 with the rest dumped into dex.

But yeah earlier I ran into a host and his fuck buddy camping the settlement as cosplayers. The host was in full artorias and his partner was in full ornstein both using the corresponding weapons. I suppose they could always have friends drop equipment for them but it's not like it's hard to get that far on a low level character either. I mean I took my sl20 twink through the entire game so I could have 14 estus' at +10 and all collect all of the ashes to buy whatever supplies I needed.

Also to anyone triggered that I'm twinking; I do use this same character to co-op randoms from time to time and help out. I use this dude for both good and evil, just mostly evil.

Weapons no higher than +3 (+2 would give you more high wall invasions), use lightning resin for big dick damage and exploding bolts for the avelyn. The Avelyn was the best improvement I made on this guy. It's great for chipping away that last bit of damage some hosts will have after taking two hits assuming they still lived. It's good for punishing healing too. And it catches those "parry god" try hards by complete surprise. They'll go to parry you after two swings but little do they know, I'm about to pump their face full of exploding bolts, not swing another time.

>tfw SL 100 magic is catching on
Has anyone but me actually made an allcaster though? Props to whoever suggested I use great deep soul, it's suprisingly useful when fired from the pillar.

Though to be fair I don't think I'd be much better or worse off at 120 build-wise, I'd just add around 5 sl to vig, end, int, and faith, (probably less so in the case of endurance) and most quality players would still be proportional to me.

I think the real issue with 120 is how easily you can squeeze in two attunement slots and replenishment plus magic shield or blessed weapon.

The upside to it is that regen (which promotes passive play and is already absurd in the arena) is less powerful at 120 where everyone has more hp (since regenerative is flat and non-scaling). I think most people take offense investment to be more valuable than post-27 vig investment; people making characters usually use bare minimum offense till they hit 27 vig, then level offense, then start leveling vig again. Maybe more like post-32-or-3ish than just 27 (since life and favor exist), but still, people are probably going to go for more instakills to avoid dealing with the aforementioned enemy regen either way. I don't think mages get helped or hurt directly by 120, but the game flow as a whole might get worse.

I think I was the one who suggested you deep soul, and after more playing around with it it's even better than I thought. The stagger is just long enough to punish a caster by doing deep soul ->rolling flashsword -> soulgreatsword -> deep soul and just constantly applying pressure. You don't even need much stamina to do it. Then there's also the Deep Soul + CSS combo that works the same as it did in dks 2, guaranteed 850-1k damage from just 2 spell casts.

Time your rolls and make sure you actually iframe through the bolts, don't just start mashing roll when you see them point it at you. Tons of people reload crossbows right after they shoot, so iframe through the bolts and rolling attack immediately. If they roll away instead of reload the first time, remember that and next time roll at them and rollcatch instead. If they aren't using splintering bolts, just sprint a circle around them because the bolts don't track that well after a certain range.

The whole point of using the Avelyn over the Arbalest is easy peasy free aim spray.

>>165933520
Don't try and close the gap every opportunity you get. Avelyn users are going to have a slightly easier time spraying side to side than up and down; you want to ensure you've got enough space to roll forward without getting R1'd, but that you're also rolling close enough to attack them if they try reloading or popping off another shot. If you roll forward through bolts in general, you've got a higher chance of not getting hit since the fact that you're traveling in opposite directions means you're spending less time overlapping, i.e. they have a smaller window to hit you and thus you've got more wiggle room on dodge timing. Just like how you roll right when bosses swing left and vice versa.

>>
>>165935719
If you're talking about PvE, enemy AI is insanely predictable. Get far away from them and if they run right up to you, they're going to attack when they're in range. Learn their attack pattern and which startup leads to which attack, because every enemy in the game has an attack that leaves them wide open for a while. Otherwise it's better to be the aggressive one because enemies always take a second or two after they first aggro before they swing. Run straight at them, get the first hit and then just mash R1 since 80% of enemies don't have poise.

Seriously, this shit is great for pissing off parry fishing faggots. You either kick them and R1 for bonus instability damage, or you kick their partial parry which completely drains their stamina and guarantees a free R1 R1. Rope firebombs work too but don't piss them off as much, and backstab punishes which aren't 100% guaranteed to land unless you're already behind them when they parry.

It's good, but you'll probably be mad at it for a while.
You'll struggle with the controls for a while. Try and find a control type you like.

Mess with the regulations. I think you want 1.40 or 1.30.

Starting as an independent merc gives you a surprisingly powerful NEXT, mostly because of it's very good CPU that gives you incredibly fast lock-on, which is a huge help against enemy NEXTs.

You should try playing missions again in Hard Mode to get more customization points. Note that some of them will really fuck you up if you don't know what you're doing, like White Glint

Melee is fairly useless against NEXTs, but I recommend you buy a high power melee weapon like a pile bunker for arms forts / large ships.

Being agile is far more important than being tanky for the most part, but on certain missions you'll want to have heavy weapons.

Grenade launchers and sniper rifles are almost always nice to have. Always experiment with your loadout, you can sell items for their full price.
>>
>>165937312

This guarantees a free win for the turtle, as you can just trade with the WP and win every time.

The Washing Pole is a weapon to finish up opponents and to cheese slower weapons, but it doesn't do well as the main source of damage.

>>165937502
Yes, but even then it will just end up in a Draw. Without bloodring the WP gets roll caught to oblivion by curved swords and shield SS turtles, and the bloodring is banned from like all tourneys. With bloodring, the WP user will probably not fall but he won't win either.

I don't think the Washing Pole is a top tier weapon at all. The running attacks are very easy to dodge, and even easier to block.

>>165937702
Everything is easy to dodge on some level in rollsouls 3, it's more a question of if you're able to keep attacking while dodging. CCS already got an AR nerf whereas washing pole running r1s have counterhit and enough reach to avoid being hit by 2h cs swings.

As for blocking, yeah, I think sword and board has the advantage in the matchup, but that doesn't mean WP isn't top tier. Against other weapons, pole is better than sword and board, and beating a shielded player isn't downright impossible, especially with backup dark infused pole or if you have the ability to run away from campers and regen.

I think it would be better to knock the flame spear down, it really is worse than the pole. The split damage still does basically nothing through shields, and the washing pole at least has a better-than-horrible rolling attack compared to the spear.

You can summon NPCs and other players. Also you can kindle bonfires. Also you can invade or help out others. Also you don't look like bacon.

Additionally, your soft humanity (the number in top left) increases your item discovery chances and your resistance, regardless of whether you're human or not.
>>
>>165938601
Summoning and getting invaded is all human form is good for. You can also save a humanity for when you need to kindle bonfires but you still put yourself at risk of getting invaded by twinks which will lose you that humanity anyway.

For answer is the easiest, most accessible, and sorta dumbed-down of all the games. You can 100% the whole game in about an hour if you know what you're doing. Online is also complete garbage because the lag makes hitting rather random. It suffers from sonic-the-hedgehog-syndrome where it feels super clunky until you get used to it, then it feels super smooth.

That being said, it's really unique and feels amazing to play, when you get it right it is extremely satisfying, and also got probably one of the better stories, atmosphere, and best voice acting.

Just remember to customize your controls and look at all the stats. Even the easiest armored core game won't hold your hand as much as dark souls in that sense. It's very, very easy to fuck yourself over with a dogshit mech or bad controls and make winning impossible.

I would recommend playing Armored Core 3 first on PC if you want a good armored core experience, though. AC3, For Answer, and Verdict Day and the recommended beginner games.

Also, a few things the other guy didn't add:

Hard mode is the actual game. The story actually makes more sense and lines up with the hard mode missions, rather than the normal mode ones.

Starting independent gives you a lot of decent parts, but you don't have permanent flight ability so it is the hardest to control and feels the clunkiest. Easiest to go with is the Interior Union mech for a first timer, but the game is easy enough already that you may not want to make it even more so.

Melee is -extremely- useful against NEXTs, but you have to practice it a lot and sort of build your whole mech around it. If you just slap a blade onto a 'standard' build, you won't hit anything.

I believe that the regulations (basically different balance patches you can use) are not available anymore on 360, but are on PS3. In either case, the game is meant to be played on regulation 1.0, the later ones just sort of change things up for multiplayer. 1.4 is probably the most balanced but some AI enemies are broken (overweight, can't hit you, etc.) in it since they didn't change the enemy loadout/tuning to match the new stats. 1.0, 1.3, or 1.4 are all fine, 1.0 recommended for a first time playthrough, 1.4 if you want to do any multiplayer.

The servers are pretty dead but if you want to find players there are tons on PS3 at /acg/ , the AC discord, or AC reddit and you can just ask for someone to send some friend requests your way.

You can have humanity in your inventory and in your tummy

Killing enemies sometimes puts some in your tummy, up to 10 from an area

You digest tummy humanity to go human, so by killing your human form and making you hollow, invaders are basically taking your humanity (they get rewarded with humanity for doing so).

They can also take stuff out of your tummy with the dark hand. Inventory is safe and kindling can't be undone.

Okay buddy, sorry you never learned how to play the other games because ACFA held your hand.

For answer is the easiest because you can kill every enemy in the game in 3-4 hits and the AI is way too dumb to ever dodge. They make the enemies so very weak and give the player so much free movement that there's basically no reason to ever die. It also has no penalties for losing a mission (you just get to retry), no penalties for making poor purchasing choices (you can sell any item for what you want), you can retry missions if you cost yourself too much in repairs, and mission rewards are incredibly high. A decent player can buy everything in the shop within a few missions.

yeah

get her to appear pre-abyss watchers, punch her in the face three times to piss her off, go get invaded by the pale shades, then go absolve yourself. You can get the pale shade gesture as well by summoning one for watchers before pissing yuria off or by summoning one for pontiff/soc after absolving.

I'm not sure, but you could anger Yuria, kill pale shade when he invades both times, get his set then go to Velka and pay for your sins, so that Yuria won't attack you anymore

I just beat Crown of the Sunken King and it must've been the best area in the game so far. The regular enemies were kind of boring, and the coop area was horrendous, but the level design both visually and gameplay wise was excellent, and the two mandatory bosses were fun (though Sinh shouldn't have degraded weapons so fast, it was shitty having to change weapons. Still, it was the best of the Dragon bosses, fuck Ancient Dragon).

Crown of the Iron King is fun so far, I like how the levels make sense and are interconnected. I really missed that in the main game.

I'm not very interested in Ivory King, it looks like it'll be another boring snowy area like the painted worlds. Hope I'm wrong though.

The answer is just "Good damage"? Is it way more than a UGS or some shit to justify me not just spending titanite on an actual weapon and doing the same thing?

Can't imagine this "Completely rapes" dancer, as you said.
>>
>>165946264
Ivory King's area is pretty similar to the painted worlds, but much larger and less punishing. But it has a lot of area to cover and explore and feels pretty cool because of how desolate it is.

Eleum Loyce and Frozen Outskirts basically nails the whole "barren wasteland" aesthetic of Dark Souls 2 where the main game fails.

If you're fighting her at like level 20, you're not going to have the stat investment for an UGS

Does anyone have a good idea for a DaS3 scythe build? Granted it's what I've used most of my time playing DaS3 already, but I'm just not finding any other weapon types as fun as the scythes (previous build was a dex/hollow build with the Corvian so not wanting a hollow infused scythe at least).

People use dark hand against dancer for low levels. It's about as strong as a +6 weapon, has no reqs, and does mostly dark damage, which dancer is weak to. If you're fighting her after killing Yhorm and Aldrich you have better options.
>>
>>165943530
The specific rules of attribute changing are as follows:

>YOU MUST BE OFFLINE TO DO ANY EDITING
Cannot go below SL 1
Cannot have an attribute below 1
Attributes must add up the the level you currently are. Such as if you removed 5 from VIG you MUST put those 5 points into other attributes
You cannot reduce your SL on that character
If you do wish to reduce your SL, you must copy your character to a new save slot and all other rules must apply. Specifically attributes must add up to SL.

If you have to get 5 levels from Yoel for the Dark Hand, you would have enough points to use at least two UGS's available within 6 minutes of Yoel provided you started a melee class.

That's not including any souls you'd get along the way, including mandatory ones like Vordt.

crystal chime, but r2 is parting flame blackflame

>>165946721
Most people prefer WA midshields since midshield parrys can't be used in as many places as small/caestus parrys. With a small shield or caestus you can parry a third straightsword swing if someone's mashing on you, but you only get a partial with a mid. Better to have your straightsword l2r2 available. BKS and stone parma are both better than the shield of want though.

>>165947047
>>165946923
At least partially leveling int with freides is actually worth it if you want to chew through shields.

shame snap freeze sucks, but you can at least cast it from the crystal chime since it doesn't scale iirc (saves you weight and lets you cast regen miracles from the same tool)

Might be okay but most people are going to roll away and wait for you to finish the combo, so you might not get as many multihits as you think. Also different weapons have a greater/weaker effect on it, it takes more hits to get it going with twindagger L1s than like a UGS, but once active it gives just as good a multiplier to all weapon as any other.

Its the control scheme, its pants, kick should have a dedicated button, I would love to say kicks are 50/50 but its more like 80/20 in favor of not kicking.

The miracle tumblebuff is much easier to do. Farron dart one is kind of tricky because you have more inputs to do and very little time to do it.

How good moonlight greatsword is? That ranged attack seems handy for catching people, when they run away. Any builds around it and what can I expect?
>>
>>165948448
The knockback is actually really good, hilarious to use on people who're on the pillair.

The range is pretty short, but you can use that to mess with people. If someone is too far away for it to spawn on them, it'll spawn between you. If they get in the habbit of rolling forward to get away when you cast it, they'll roll into it if you cast it from afar.

Dark hand damage if you don't have a more upgraded UGS is much higher, specially since your earliest UGS is from the forest or from greirat's first raid. Getting dark hand is way faster and stronger. The only weapon faster than it for dancer quick kills is arguably BK.

Oh yeah, that I do not doubt. He's a pretty big waifufag but he waifu's over the player characters Robin and Corrin. Shit he's already flat out said in this stream that he's mostly looking forward to see if they're going to introduce new waifus.

Ganksquad. It's just meta enough that I can forgive the tongue in cheek.

Definitely gank squad. It's cool, it's got some semblance of lore, the only terrible part about it is that NPC fights are terrible and that's in EVERY souls game.

Is this what you believe?

Btw, you can't legally install software that the user didn't ask or agree to. And because CE has a user agreement, if they violated it the guy/group making it would be brought to court faster than you could say "Oh boy."

>ganksquad
Their gauntlet is perhaps the most forgiving, but as "bosses" they fall apart when you have more than one phantom helping you, even the default ones.
>ignore the Mirrah archer
>chain backstab the Havel and Alva while they're distracted by your buddies
>gang up on the Mirrah archer once Havel and Alva are dead

>Smelter
Worst gauntlet hands-down, I fucking hate the timed gates with the Ashen Warriors and fireball statues, and I hate those Astrologists almost as much. The boss himself is moderately difficult, I hated him on my first try because I was always tilted from the gauntlet, but once I learned how to cheese the gauntlet I came to respect the boss somewhat.

>2cat
Their gauntlet is tough but overrated, and as bosses they're sort of a disappointment. Horsecock valley wasn't nearly as hard as I was afraid it would be, while the bosses at the end are both bullshit and surprisingly easy at the same time.

It's one guy, he's an avatar using brony (literally), and he's admitted that there are multiple trojans in the installer for CE.

This is what you're defending.

>>165953823
>In the installer
Thats why you deny everything but the actual program. It's called adware. If the program or company making it doesn't have a way to generate money you'll be damn sure they put adware in it.

Just deny it and move on. They can't install it if you don't agree to it.
>>
>>165953218
Valorheart is one of the weapons with the highest skill ceilings in the game, it has a lot of viable attacks and you can do some neat combos with it. My favorite thing about it is that the jumping attacks block while attacking too and are super fast, fast enough to combo from a rollcatch r1 if you imput the jumping attack right after the r1 when you know it will land.

He's a cold blooded murderer and kills people for fun. In Dark Souls 2, him and Pate(Patches) were acquainted until there was some fuckery afoot and they wanted to kill each other. As for the mask? I think that's could be to hide his appearance since he likes to murder people? I don't remember if anything says that or I'm pulling that out of my ass through logic? But yeah he's supposedly a fugitive of Mirrah because murders.

That's how they get retards to install the shit. You need to actually read what you are doing. Even at the end of the installer it gives you a list of what you are installing.

Like if you're retarded and don't deny all the adware:
"Cheat Engine version blah"
"Adware 1"
"Adware 2"
"Adware 3"

But if you actually read the shit:
"Cheat Engine version blah"

It's all about money. They'll do whatever they can to get you to install it but there is always a way to deny it. Just read nigga. It's like how people don't read user agreement licences then get sued out the ass for something in it.

DS3 has some of the best textures/lighting I've seen in any PS4 game. Try to dispute this.
Its skyboxes aren't fantastic but no one plays a game for the skybox.

DS1 had nice character design. It was a little too brown in some areas but the graphics were still nice.

DeS didn't look bad for a PS3 game.

Miyazaki was leading the development of Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 simultaneously, and I think that when doing so, some of his ideas for Bloodborne leaked into Dark Souls 3.

Look at the combat for Dark Souls 3. It's pretty fast paced, with attacks coming out fairly quickly compared to previous souls games, perhaps barring Demon's Souls. Rolls also are swift and doesn't have too many recovery frames. Healing is kind of fast as well.

The biggest thing that stuck out to me was, as you pointed out, the enemies. They're incredibly fast, even being able to start up attacks and hitting you during your own attack animation depending on your weapon.

The main problem with this is that Bloodborne was (for the most part) balanced around the rally mechanic and healing the damage you took in order to maintain an extremely fast paced, fluid combat system. Dark Souls 3 lacks this mechanic, yet retains some of the speed of Bloodborne.
