Does your controller not vibrate when you get summoned in DS3? I just set down my sign to get an ember and looked up some stuff on a wiki (with the controller on my leg to let me know if I got summoned) and when I got back to the game I was embered and my sign was gone. I've also noticed that my controller doesn't seem to vibrate when I get invaded.

>>
>>167000518
Its really not. Spells are way more limited now than they ever were before ironically enough since they're all tied to the same pool and you have to chose between being able to cast them or being able to heal yourself. None of the WA are good enough to warrant a restriction and combat probably would have been improved without it.

The difference between charges and FP is the difference between dnd wizards and sorcerers.

If you're shit at planning your build and want to just grab every spell around but have lower overall amount cast power for each, you will prefer wizards.
If you know the game, you will choose sorcerer as he allows more casts of most powerful spells.

FP system is what made DS3 pyromancies so good. You're not limited to 4 great chaos fireballs per bonfire anymore. 24 ATT and 4 blue flasks allow you to cast like 35 of them without resting at bonfire, even more if you trigger estus replenishment or kill red/white phantoms. FP system made healing miracles on high ATT really precious because one blue flasks means 3 full HP heals instead of puny 600HP a single normal estus provides. The only casting school that got arguably hurt by that is sorcery, but only because soul spears cost too much for their damage, if you're using great heavy soul arrows the situation is the same as with pyromancies.

Overall it's a much more interesting casting system, further enhanced by Gentle Prayer, which heals roughly 350 HP for laughable FP cost so you can leave estus flasks to be exclusively used for clutch healing.

29 minimum at sl 50 for me. Anything higher is always better. VH needs a lot of stamina so you have a good pool to do combos and block attacks. Without the stamina, your dps is going to be shit or you will eat more attacks plus a good chance of being guardbroken.

>>167001226
But Wizards are almost always better than Sorcerers in DnD unless it's 5e.

FP costs are very poorly balanced. Pyromancy in 3 has average FP efficiency, sorceries pretty much never run out of FP since they're the only school where low and medium power spells are very common, but if you try using something like lightning spears you gimp your casts a lot. The estus system with a very bad regen alternative (which was part of what made early DeS's FP system useful, the other being that you could just farm endless FP items) gimps casters more than it helps because spells aren't as strong as before, meaning simple R1 use with crossbows can replicate most things casters can do with little drawback(magic is so powerful in 1 it's a legit speedrun strategy, whereas in 3, getting all the basic stuff to buff vestiges in an all boss run would take just as long and not be as powerful), they are less varied because outside a pure caster most players will only have 4 slots, where a player before could spare 2-3 slot for a gimmick spell they wanted to try like fire whip. The only thing left spells have is their safety.

The plus of the system is that you no longer need to farm multiple spell copies, which could really have been solved by letting you attune as many spells as you had slots for in the other games as long as you had one copy.

Each "soft humanity", the counter left of your health grand a item discovery bonus (up to 10 humanity after this number, the bonus stop increasing). If you combine it with the covetous gold ring and symbol of avarice, it give you a very high bonus, allowing you to farm with more efficiency

Most of your list is shit.

BoC doesn't belong anywhere near the rest, it's worse than garbage tier. Taurus Demon is pretty well-balanced given that it's effectively the second boss of the game. And Gwyn should probably deserve higher were it not for the parry exploit.

Dragonriders, Guardian Dragon and Old Ornstein are garbage tier, so is Mytha. Old Iron King is middle tier at best, same with Pursuer and Nashandra. The gank squad is just pure garbage.

Soul of Cinder and Champ deserve high tier minimum, Abyss Watchers is middle tier even against newbies (why the fuck should a boss be parry-able and backstab-able?).

Generally the damage numbers of DS1 sorceries with logan catalyst and all sorcery buffers and DS3 sorceries with court sorcerer +10 and all boosters are around the same, DS3 simply lacks tin crystallization catalyst, dark beads and ridiculously overpowered DS1's power within/red tearstone combo, otherwise it just takes longer amount of time and more effort to dish out those sexy 1100 damage crystal soul spears.

I do agree that offensive miracle users are the ones who got really fucked by FP system, but they never were truly good aside from 1 offensive miracle in DS1 and some pre-nerf stuff in DS2 so whatever.

Regarding slots: even though you miss some utility thanks to fewer slots, the entire point of DS3 casters is that they can use much more of actually viable spells while still having a few side spells equipped. Even in DS2 i only could use like 8 forbidden suns at most, here i can easily dish out more than 30. And in DS2 it would mean sacrificing all attunement slots for forbidden suns.

Regeneration in DS3 is actually awesome. Even more so if you're into active ring/offhand juggling as combo of sun princes ring, ethereal oak shield and chime WA allows for very quick HP restoration which is especially useful during invasions as you can simply run away for 30 seconds and regen any damage for barely any cost while cooping fucks will burn through their flasks thanks to your fireballs.

the first 27 levels of vig are more important than anything* save for maybe having a useable amount of endurance, but 40 str/dex is more important than 40 vig.

For refference, here's the hp per level you get from leveling vig: https://unkindler.github.io/caps/ . 39 is the last level to give you 14 hp; if you stop there with the largest favor and life rings, you get 1801 hp embered, which is three flasks. From there on you don't get an appreciable amount of hp per level, the 49th level gives you only 5 hp, and everything from there to 99 only gives 2 or 3 hp.

*someone will say "just don't get hit," but if you aren't hit either way you've got no need for max damage or a build at all anyway

Artorias successfully fought the Abyss for some time and even had a covenant with some abyssal power which allowed him to directly cross it.
He only failed against an eldritch monstrosity but we know about only 3 of those in entire franchise and each of them caused enormous amount of harm so it's understandable a lone knight won't be able to stop one.

You need to see the damage depends on the average HP as well. Things have less HP in 1, to the point soulmass is dangerous as a main damage source. Combustion type spells too, specially pre glove nerf. For instance, Forbidden sun in 2 deals around 800-1000 damage while in 3 it's 600-700 at highest investments, but things have more HP in 2 on average.

Miracles in 1 are in a decent spot damage wise. spears are just awful to hit because how rolling works, but if you use sunlight spears in PvE or have a PvP stroke of luck, they hurt a lot (and you actually get more spears casts in 1 than in 3 unless you gimp your FP bar)

>30 suns
That's a big overstatment. At 24 att you have 5 suns per bar, 6 if you have 30 att. Along with 5 more casts per estus. To reach 30 casts you either need to play arena, be the world owner(which gimps magic a lot early on, since you have shit estus and low casts where in 1 you'd have all casts upfront and in 2 you'd get increasingly higher casts with att, though they did start low). To cast those 30 suns, you're also giving up the ability to use your other spells since they're all tied to the same pool.
For comparison, 28 ATT in 1 versus 30 att in 3:
56 black flames
12 CGFO (if you could get more than 1 copy, of course) and 8 black flames
560 fire surge "casts"

In 3
6 vestiges per bar (5 per flask)
9 black flames per bar (8 per flask)
7 GCFO per bar (6 per flask)
116 fire surge "casts" per bar (100 per flask)

Casts in 3 only start being better than casts in the other games if you throw ashen estus in the mix, which is a big downside as it means the caster dies faster than before and some very efficient spells like BF would need stupidly high amounts of estus to make up for it.

Regen in 3 is strong, I should've explained it better. I'm talking about FP regen, which is plain awful. You need almost 2 minutes to regen enough for a single vestiges. Compare to DeS's fragrant ring or Iron king's crown, it's very weak.

Okay so i just used a firekeeper soul because i thought it would increase my estus flask power much like it says exactly in the item description but ofcourse miyazaki wants you to be fucking psychic and that is actually wrong and you need to give it to a firekeeper to do what it says in teh description.

How do i use CE to get it back? Dont much feel like starting again because the description blatantly lied to me, it wasnt ambiguous or vague, it straightup lied.

>>167005572
There's virtually no reason to NOT go at least with 6 blue flasks (3 as an invader) with DS3 casters. During invasions in mid-level ranges (and why would you ever invade at higher levels) 4 normal estus flasks as an invader + HP regeneration gear is more than enough to keep up with everything and 9 estus flasks are more than enough in pve given that you can drown entire areas in fireballs.

For comparison, you can't use herbs to regain casts in DS2 invasions at all and your only option is iron king crown.

That is true, but what about lower SLs? Nearly everyone agrees arena gives way too many flasks and that late game characters have more flasks than they can do with, with 15 fucking estus.

Low SL characters have much bigger worries about running out of FP since they're starving for both estus, which you need to progress to upgrade and base att. The system is very flawed at lower SLs and only works decently at those higher ones because the estus system in 3 is overkill and allows you to gimp regular estus with little drawbacks but only at higher stages of the game.

Honestly i consider early game casters to be the biggest flaw of casting system of DS3 and the reason casting system of DS3 is bashed. They don't get advanced rings till killing at least 3 mandatory bosses (5 for sorcerers and clerics), you need to upgrade catalysts, you need to find better spells ASAP.

But even then, estus itself is really not that much of a problem because you can always rely on chime WA for healing while converting majority of flasks into blue ones, and collecting at least 9 total flasks in early game ain't hard, especially if you go dark hand Dancer route to grab consumed king's garden shard.

2 has more sorceries than 3 and is disgustingly viable with the boosts from staff of wisdom and free stats from armors. Cast speed is also attached to attunement and not dex.
DS3 has shit spell veriety and less casts lol.

You can also clear the early game without gettingg cancer and understanding that you are basically just a shit R1 straight sword build.

>>167003705
It is extremely viable.
It is also the only game where you can properly spell sword with Blue flame. Both attack and magic buffs boost the swords damage, so you can enchant it with crystal magic weapon and have a really versatile casting tool.

It's better to have the versions with all the songs included, I find it pointless that I have the OST of Dark Souls II if it's missing the music from the best parts of the game. That's why I didn't instantly put everything in one post.

I finished DaS1 for the first time a few months ago and then tried playing Pokemon Moon. I ended up dropping it pretty quick, the constant hand-holding, menu mashing, slow-ass progression just made me wish I was playing Dark Souls instead.

I literally have no motivation to play any other games. Really want BoTW but I'm afraid I'll just compare it to DaS and ruin the experience. These games have spoiled me.

Hi,
sorry for asking questions that can easily be answered by a wiki, but I dont want to get tempted into getting spoiled.
Iam currently replaying DS1 after finishing 3. I played DS1 almost only the necessary bosses and have now aquired the lord vessel.
Now I want to find all optional/dlc stuff before I continue.
I know the obvious once, like the hydra or the butterfly.
I also killed priscilla and gwyndolin. I finally met him/her after seeing her posted countless times becausse I killed
>great chest ahead
What side bosses to I miss that are not obvious to find? Please just give me the area where to find the way I will try to find the entrance myself.
Thank you in adance.

1h GS have no advantages besides range to 1h SS, and that range isn't that great either. In a fight like that, the SS player has most advantage and only loses if he's much worse than the GS one, but if the GS player isn't much better, he'll lose to the superior setup

You're full of shit. Range is one of the most important things to have in melee weapons. It has been proven time after time. If you don't even realize that, then you haven't grasped what Souls PvP is all about. And of course a worse player will lose to a superior player. I'm not saying your setup is shit or anything, but it will not win against a GS everytime
>>
>>167010004
Ah yes, I forgot how good that huge whip and ugs range was.

It's about a combination of speed and range and, while GS are good in that regard post buff, two players of similar skill level would result in more SS wins comparing these two setups. The GS player has to compensate for his worse choices by playing better while the SS one doesn't need to play as well to win since he has the better tool

That was the point of the post though. The SS player will always only use the SS when the GS player is 1h and then only ever use surge when he 2h since 2h GS can't beat surge.
Since swapping hands isn't an instant action the first player will always only use the moves he wants and never get caught in a HA trade

>>167010467
I think you're giving the SS player a bit too much credit here. The matchup is not so unbalanced that it is impossible to touch a 1h ss with a 1h gs and impossible to touch someone who has fire surge out with a 2h gs. A WA shield also allows much more flexibility for the GS player while 1h, seeing as our hypothetical SS player just has fire surge and his pointy stick all the time.
>>
>>167010162
I never said that speed doesn't matter, did I? I said range is ONE of the most important things. Others beings speed and damage. UGS lack in speed so much so they will lose to GS and SS players even if they are a little worse regarding to skill. Same with whips, but on top of that they deal shit damage. For example a spear will shit on both SS and GS because of the superior speed and range, even if the damage part is lacking. I believe that players of the same skill level using GS against SS in a duel would be a 50/50. Sometimes the range giving the edge to the GS user and sometimes speed giving it to the SS user.

She's the firekeeper. She keeps the fire.

And yeah she's pretty fucking boring. Would've been better if you could level up at bonfires like DS1, but then she replaces Irina or something and actually fucking stays in firelink to offer neat dialogue and level you up.
I guess you'd need much earlier miracle access though, like let the old hag give you the Lothric miracles so the quest terminates at the crossroads. Blessed weapon should be an early game option anyway imo, especially since you go clear out a bunch of fucking heresy and abyss shit.
>>
>>167010679

Is there a trick to backstabbing in DaS1? Something im not doing? I have no problem backstabbing in 2 and 3, but in 1 he just seems to prefer to swing at their back rather than do the backstab, its like a rate of 1/20 where he actually backstabs when behind them instead of just swinging the sword.
>>
>>167011108
it's the easiest game to backstab in in my experience, the windows are significantly larger than the actual back and enemies get vacuum-sucked into the attack

you cannot backstab if you are blocking in 1, and if you're trying to stab the hollow leaning up against a wall in new londo, for some reason he's immune in his regular position. you need to kick him first.
>>
>>167010580
The point is that would a 50 int sorcerer be better off using a physical MLGS as a backup weapon over something he is going to have 18/18 str dex scaling with.

I beat all the DLCs this way, retard.

Shit, was hoping that wasn't the case. A +6 Halberd, Royal Sword, and Mace at 30 STR.
>>
>>167011230
I already stop blocking when i go to backstab out of habit, im finding it really difficult unless they are slow like the hollows, im definitely behind them too, but the backstab just doesnt seem to go through and sometimes the way they pivot and quickly spin to the side when i fail sometimes makes me wonder if even though on the screen im behind them maybe the game thinks otherwise?

Oh aslo can i riposte? Im not sure if im having the same problem with no riposte when i kick or if there isnt one in DaS1.
>>
>>167011585
there is no kick/guardbreak riposte.

I suggest just trying to figure out where the window is, if you do it right your character won't do a backstab attempt like in 2 and 3, the enemy will immediately be rotated into proper position and you'll perform the animation.

By the time you've finished NG you should be in the millions range, and the bands get so wide at the top it's just not a problem. The game even tells you which areas have had recent multiplayer activity at your level, on top of which you can expand the range by joining the appropriate covenants, using the small sign soapstone or wearing name engraved ring. If none of that's enough, you can wear the ring that completely stops you getting souls.

The only people complaining are those wanting to twink and go invade helpless noobs at SL1, the prevention of which is only a good thing.

I sussed it, I tried hugging them and when that still wasnt working I tried doing it without my shield and then i was magically able to do it 100% of the time, I wasnt leaving enough time between lowering my shield and trying to backstab it needs about a 2-3second gap between lowering and trying.

Any idea on what weapon to use?
>>
>>167018338
ds2 infusions are almost all elemental
lightning infusion scales with the same stat as lightning magic (faith), same for magic/fire/dark infusions
generally the way you use them is by combining with a matching-element buff. (e.g. Magic-infused weapon combined with Magic Weapon spell) if you are a physical-damage character with good str/dex but bad spell stats, you don't want to infuse. even if it makes the damage number look bigger, it's actually now checking two resistances/damage reductions instead of 1 so it ends up being worse than pure physical damage

raw infusion is almost never worth it except on a few specific weapons that have almost no stat scaling
bleed is worthless in DS2, never use it
poison is okay if you stick it on weapons that ALREADY have baseline poison damage, e.g. Spotted Whip

mundane is an gimmick that basically requires you to build a character around it -- you want all your stats to be the same level, because a mundane weapon scales with your LOWEST stat. if you have 99 in everything except 3 int, you will do the same damage as a character with 3 in every stat

no seriously, why is heavy armor so shit? it barely reduces the damage

I understand not wanting to reward people that take hits, but dark souls might as well not even have armor stats, just poise, because that's the only thing that's of any use and even then it's generally not worth the huge equip drops outside of havel ring memes in DS1

If the screencaps with the jap boss names weren't bullshit, we're fighting manus again, whose pieces were scattered and then collected and unified by the BotC.

But he personally credited DS2 when he removed base game arenas, left hand movesets, several covenants, tons of fashion and NG+ content.

If anything DS3 is his love letter to Bloodborne. "Dear sony, I hate bamco so fucking much and stopped caring about Dark Souls after the first one. Please take me back so I can make a Lovecraft game that isn't ass."
>>
>>167020424
You're probably okay where you are for now. At around this point you can start searching for a weapon that you like and put your stats up to the minimum to wield that, and start pumping Vit and End whenever you start feeling squishy and/or heavy.

it's wasted dev time that will either hamper or not effect 90% of the players. I've never seen an argument for left hand movesets that didn't boil down to fashion souls nonsense.

>>167021687
dark souls shouldn't have an arena period, pandering to 1v1 final destination arena shitters is directly responsible for almost every single nerf from one game to another, making the pve worse because it's easier to just universally nerf things than have different stats for PVP. If there ever is a dark souls 4 I guarantee that thrusting swords and longswords will be made fucking worthless.

Did they give Memers of the Community access to AoA over a month before its release like they are doing with The Ringed City? I feel like this DLC is going have as much content (and better) as the entirety of Pre-Irithyll in the base game. I feel like they are going to surprise us honestly.

In duels, not really. In invasions the area of effect spells are handy against multiple opponents. Sunlight spear is a great melee range nuke. Faith has good defensive spells but lacks in more offensive spells like pyromancies/sorceries.

all players (except DeS) are cursed undead
they have the "undead curse" which is what lets them respawn infinitely and drink estus to heal
this is apparently a bad thing

hollows are undead that go crazy from not having enough souls
except the player character who both DOESN'T go crazy (he just gets wrinkles and reduced maxhp) but also goes hollow just frmo dying instead of "not having souls"

If you want arena and fight club stuff I don't know, but sticking around 80 and under can keep you away from the meta ranges and allow you to invade people actually playing the game.
>>
>>167030204
I usually stay below sl100, i would say 60 to 90 are usually clean but of course you're gonna get some CE kiddies every once in a while
>>
>>167030204
With an SL 180 I get decent fights, also occasional shitters and tryhards, but less than at 120. I get cheaters sometimes, but way less than at 120.
I stopped playing at that range because of that, I could only run into cheaters.
You can try anything below 99, or above 142, I don't know how the arena matchmaking works, but I guess it's the same as invasions.

Cursed Undead from DaS1 and 2 are people who got turned into Undead.

Ashen Ones like the player were specifically brought back for the purpose of killing the Lords of Cinder and after the ir purpose is fulfilled.... Well, you saw what happened to Siegward.

>>167028413
And BB.

But DaS3's Undead thing is actually very close to DeS since in 1 the player is manipulated.into acting they are a free agent, in DaS3 and DeS the players are explicitly prisoners of their duties.
>>
>>167028413
Undead go hollow when they give up. Which is the same implication for the player character, aka when you inevitably stop playing.

Ashen ones are resurrected undead from past eras who tried linking the fire but failed.

Everybody who isn't a pcuck is eagerly awaiting From's new dark fantasy i.p that can shake off the burden of being a Dark Souls sequel and create a new world and new setting and new ways to do old mechanics.

My dudes, haven't played ds3 in like half a year. What's better these days? Pure dex or quality? Any info would be sweet

Those are still bad though. Let me tell you too, rolls will never get nerfed

No, that's db

Quality has always been better. It still is. That said, its also boring and dreadfully overused as a result. Be different. Go dex.
>>
What should my dex be for max spell speed with the sages ring on DS3?
>>
>>167033717
DS3 has come a long way since the release bullshit and I never expected them to even fix poise/hyperarmor but they did

AoA as a DLC had some issues but it introduced an interesting new location and the weapons introduced in AoA were ridiculously fun.

I have absolutely no doubt that The Ringed City will also add to making Dark Souls 3 a great experience, probably not Bloodborne-tier in terms of quality, but darn close.
>>
>>167034403
Maybe estus will get slower? Or can at least be punished somehow?
>>
>>167034162
Playing with whatever you think is fun will always be Trump senpai

Hol up Hidden Blessing has to come from somewhere Hidden
But the Queen of Lothric is either Gwynevere, or if not Gwynevere so similar to her that she probably looks and dresses similarly: meaning her feet and tits would not be hidden.

I therefore hypothesise that Hidden Blessing is either pussy juice or butt sweat.

>>167034563
3 never had as game changing patches as 1 or 2 did
>>
>>167034725
It didn't need them as it was nowhere nearly as terrible as release ds2 or ds1 with its ridiculous elemental weapons and 50% equip load dwgr.
>>
>>167034652
That's kind of what I thought. Thanks
>>
>>167034725
1 and 2 at release were far more of a mess than 3 ever was. I don't know how many people are around that played 1 on release, but that shit was even more of a clusterfuck compared to what it is now.
>>
>>167034636
Its speed is good within the game. Problem is latency really. Just use those undead hunter charms. Biggest change I might see coming would be increased stamina consumtion for rolling/less iframes. Allthough that might suck as an invader seeing how much spam you need to avoid.
>>

Also is bleed still viable?
>>
>>167034973
Yes
>>
>>167034563
I never expected DS3 to make scythes and maces/hammers viable. First DLC patch did a really good job with the game, if second patch will be the same, DS3 is going to become my single favourite souls game even though currently it already shares that spot with DS1.
>>
>>167034636
I would like to see Estus either root you in place or give you instability frames while using it. Neither of those would fuck over the game.
>>
>>167034162
Everything depends on your level. For midgame you can go full dex or full str and be the king around. Only SL120 faggots are crying about quality.

>instability frames while using estus
This is actually a wonderful idea
>>
>>167035063
Give it instability frames but only for pvp. This is the best way to balance estus in DS3.
A single attack with a good weapon or spell during instability frames will be absolutely devastating, even more so if instability frames will spread to 2-hit combo. This will make anyone to think twice before chugging as a simple avelyn shot would potentially be crushing.

>>167034563
>AoA as a DLC had some issues but it introduced an interesting new location
>interesting
Painted World is not interesting. It's old, it's recycled, it's le snow area. Wolves could've been neat, but they're utilized for one area then thrown away.

>new
You've gotta be fucking kidding me.

>and the weapons introduced in AoA were ridiculously fun.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Did you mean "Friede's L2 button is fun"? Because that's the new content.

Fuck off shill. AoA was god awful, don't expect good things from Ringed City.

Any good boss can punish estus, there's no need to change pve to cater pvpfaggots.
>>
>>167034479
going dex doesn't make your gameplay any different though, since a quality build can still use dex weapons
if you want something that's actually significantly different in terms of GAMEPLAY and not just different numbers on your stat sheet, you have to do a build with int or faith or something
>>
>>167035436
Valorheart is nearly top tier.
>>
>>167018890
this was good

>>
>>167035749
Are you implying DaS 3 has only one good boss then?

Nearly no enemy can punish estus properly in this game, let alone bosses.
>>
>>167035174
Do you want one? I don't use it anyway. PC.
>>
Does anyone else think that DS3 is a fucking really gorgeous game? I love the art style, the lighting, the colors used... It's just very visually pleasing, whatever other complaints you might have about it.
>>
>>167035857

Really?

My build is only 30/30 at the moment but unless I get a juicy leo ring poke or jump attack it feels like my damage output isn't very good compared to other people.

The trading ability is nice with the blocks I guess but it doesn't feel like enough.

Pontiff, Dancer, SoC, Friede, Champion, homoprinces, dragonslayer armour, even fucking Abyss Watchers can punish careless estus with ease and have moves specifically made for fast forward assaults.

I certainly think it has several beautiful moments, though I don't like the lighting in it as much as the other games.
I've heard people say the opposite though, that there's no beauty in the game at all and everything is gross.
Eh.
>>
>>167036012
a standard quality with 40 end can block trade against virtually anything in the game
it also has amazing chase potential, access to standard longsword moveset if needed, fast guard breaks and yes, strong leo counters
the only thing that separates valorheart from top tier is relatively huge learning curve, it's probably one of the most skill-based weapons in the game if you want to utilize it to full potential
>>
>>167035957

All the Soulsborne titles but 2 have this quality.

Actually very slow of a boss, and she has those huge moments of walkin without attacking between most attacks

>Friede
Only on third phase

>princes
Signifcant pause between combos

>DSA
Only if you're already in range of his regular moves

>AW
Their only punish is the fire wave which never deals as much damage as estus heals

Fromsoft has a really unique ability to perfectly translate concept arts into 3d. I dunno who is responsible for this, but it's thanks to those guys DS3 is so gorgeous.
>>
>>167036294
I have to disagree, 2 has some beautiful places and architecture in it.
Heide's, Shulva, and even Amana are what stood out to me.

2 only have a few areas that looks good. Generally the game is butt-ugly and has an insanely ugly art that suits some blizzard shit more than actual souls games.

DS2 has some great places but a lot of the tine they vomit out something like Shaded Ruins, Eye-searing Keep, Doors of Pharros or Brightstone Cove Tseldora.

Actually breathtaking places in DS2 are :
>Fofg
>Heide
>Majula
>Shrine of Ameme
>Dragon Aerie
>DLCs
>>
>>167037223
Doors of Pharros isn't that bad visually, as far as a cave level goes.
>>
>>167026392
I bet you said the same thing for the Millwood battle axe and onyx blade too.
>>
>>167033715
I like the idea but the mound in the Manus room looks like a mound that a human-sized thing could be buried in which corroborates the story we get of there being a grave that was dug up. The outcrop that the Darklurker looks like an elevated piece of rock which matches the kind of landscape leading up to it along with the rocks that form the ramp into the room.
>>
>>167037334
It's pretty rubbish and dull when you compare it to most cave type levels even. The cartoon dwarves and the dumb pharros lockstone thingies also didn't help with the atmosphere of the area at all. Or the videogameyness of the design of the area.

What's cool in Soulsborne games in terms of level design is that most areas feel like real places but work well as videogame locales, with the areas being furnished and decorated so that they feel like actually lived in. Some places like the wharf/bastille/fofg did that well but then you have dumb shit like drangleic castle where the 'dude its a videogame!' is too much in your face.

I suppose that's fair. One of the things the other games have going for them is the very good art direction/design, and I think you'd be right in saying that 2 isn't as good as the rest when it comes to that. I don't know if I'd outright call it 'bad', but yeah, it's probably not as good as the others on average.

2 Has as many beautiful areas as Dark Souls 1 has. It also has about the same number of 'bad' areas (DS1 had framerate problems, but DS2 has low-res textures).

What's important though is that DS2 is twice as large as DS1, and all those other areas are just 'meh'. People forget this a lot. Also people tend to also compare 4K dsfix 60fps DS1 with basic 1080/720p non-SOTFS DS2. DS1 has a few of high resolution textures that continue to look good at upscaled resolutions when you use DSfix, but DS2 was designed strictly for 1080p.

You should've asked him specifically WHY he "did not have fun". That would've likely gotten you an answer that would've been easy to see if it was bullshit or not.
