This made Millennials piss and shit their pants out of frustration
that had nothing to do with me pissing and shitting myself
>>732178985Actually it was these niggas.
That’s not shrine of amana nor consecrated snowfields
Zillennials*
>>732178985It ran at legit 12 fps on my ps3
>>732178985>This made Millennials piss and shit their pants out of frustrationThe part that is lost with the remake is that Blighttown ran at like 12-15 fps through out on consoles and the prepare to die edition on pc.
>>732178985Japanese people don't optimise dey games
>>732179081>shrine of amanaGetting filtered by shrine is a sign of having a dangerously low IQ. This place is quite literally a cakewalk, it takes like 10 minutes or less to get through and kill all the mobs.
>>732179169>>732179192>trying to avoid toxic darts (that you don't have a cure for) coming at you from god-knows-where in a pitch-black shithole without accidentally rolling off an edge to your death>all at a silky-smooth 12fpsModern Soulslikes could never.
It ran like shit and was low resolution. Also I followed the recommended brightness guide and it was very dark.
>>732178985was easy on mouse and keyboard and every tiny section in the game>just press W and jump or roll when needed
>>732178985Its secretly the best area.
>>732179525>that you didn't have a cure forBro you didn't spend hours farming Blooming Purple Moss Clumps?!
>>732178985>uses master key to go down the back entrance in 2 minutesHeh, nothing personnel, kid
>>732179764man, that's a fucking blast from the past, anon.I forget sometimes how early popular Dark Souls strats were just ridiculousYou'd go on gamefaqs or something or watch a crispy 720p youtube video of a dude legitimately suggestion "yeah just farm these guys, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes". I remember being told that you should farm the flying red lizards for stamina herbs to better fight O&SEverything is so streamlined now, I kinda miss when shit was stupid and broken and no one knew any better
>>732179081>Shrine of AmanaIt's a cover based shooting gallery. Bring a bow
I fucking loved blighttownI fucking LOVED valley of defilement (5-2 is my favorite video game level of all time)I am a swamp enjoyer
>>732179514There's a substantial difference between the pre and post nerf shrine. Now that I think about, almost every Souls game gets butchered difficulty wise after a few patches.
>>732180224>I am a swamp enjoyerYou're gonna fucking love Dark Souls 3.
>>732179525don't forget>didn't pick the master key>you might be cursed by that point
>>732179818>first run>pick master key because everyone says it's best>do blighttown in reverse and rest at the top bonfire>realize I need the key to open depths door>realize I now need to go through blighttown again to get the fuck out of here
>>732180312If we're talking about vanilla/early ds2 then yeah almost the entire game was unfair as FUCK.
>>732179970>I kinda miss when shit was stupid and broken and no one knew any betterThe subgenre was at its best when it was still new and relatively niche. DeS and DaS felt like the devs giving you the finger for a laugh. The more recent games have had all their edges smoothed out and have become so accommodating for any and every player that the original vision's been diluted if not outright lost.
>>732180341The swamps in 3 are a sham compared to the old games3 is also just not as good across the boardAnd they really overuse swamps for no reason
Blighttown on original release on console was fucking insane.>horrible slowdown due to mosquito pathing or whatever>cannot see shit due to horrid lighting system>enemies that hide and wait for you to pass them>toxic blowdart niggers that instantly kill you if you don't know where to get blooming purple moss>horrible and buggy platform interactions>toxic shit cavemen just to fuck with you>get to the bottom without the doll and it all gets even worseI still cannot believe the DeS swamp was somehow worse
>>732179970The internet was better when it had a lot less people, yea.
>>732180552Idk, DeS is overall a way easier game since the movesets are so much better. I guess it's fair to say that it was easier for me since I'd already played DS1 and 2 before I got to DeS, but I found valley of defilement way easier than blighttown.
>>732180473Its actually ridiculous how they dont let you open blighttown from behind, it really hurts the route variety in replays
>>732180552the bottom of blighttown is considerably easier, its comfy evenOnly the runback sucksOr maybe you get cursed in the ash lake...
>>732180668If you do the blighttown backdoor there's no reason to ever go to the bottom of the depths. The only thing you need in the Depths is the ember for Andre and that's up near the top.
>>732180560Why don't we just make a new internet that's like the old internet?
>>732180720No, moving through the swamp when you don't have the Rusted Iron Ring is turbo ass.
>>732180552I thought the issue with blight town is it's a map composed of a gazillion copy pasted wooden shanty down assets meant to create a bridge level to get the player to the bottom of Lordan's grand canyon sized mote.
>>732178985No, it was the Dragon Asses of Lost Izalith.
>>732181187To specify, im talking pre nerf where every ass in a hundred mile radius was aggrod just by walking into Izalith.
>>732180782Nah, gotta build a firewall around the west so we aren't forced to suffer the presence of thirdies anymore, since they would rather learn bad English than create their own forums and websites and social media spaces. Global internet connectivity was a mistake, and cancer didn't kill Steve Jobs soon enough.
>>732178985i hate the swamp area in every souls game, i dont understand the appeal of them, everything looks like shit, feels like shit, and usually the enemies are annoying af too
>>732180560crazy to think 90% of India and China aren't even online yetit'll never be as good as it was, it'll never even be as good as it is right now.It'll only get worsebleak
>>732181324To justify the poison status build up. It's like how From also likes adding frenzy based on your characters exposure to some insane evil now too (Warden Light in III and Madness in ER).
>>732181497Crazy to think that "people" are a tiny minority and most human biomass is endless Sub-Saharan Africans and Indians shitting and pissing day in and day out in desolate shitholes.I already have an existential crisis about my place in the world and you're telling me there's masses of uneducated slop humans?I really REALLY hope reincarnation is a myth.
>>732178985People play this game patched and act like they beat the game or that it's too easy. You did not by any stretch of the means beat the game.The game was a serious challenge during release when it actually mattered.
>>732181651>I really REALLY hope reincarnation is a myth.I think reincarnation is kind of easily debunked based on the fact there are fluctuating amounts of living being son Earth, especially humans. And if reincarnation IS real, there's almost no shot at rolling human again. There's almost 20 quadrillion flies on earth, let alone literally anything else. You're more likely to be a bug every roll until the destruction of Earth than you are to be an Indian.
>>732181271that was awesome
>>732178985well no shit it ran at 15 fps
>>732181990I'd rather reincarnate as an insect than live my life as a jeet.
>>732178985It was much worse when wrong camera angle destroyed your FPS on 360
>>732180312I can’t remember did they nerf the hammer man in the dragon shrine in DS2?
>>732178985Its significantly more tolerable when the frame rate isnt single digits.
>>732178985millenials made you piss and shit your pants out of frustration>>732179192Also this, it was hell on 360
>>732178985>enter location>half of mobs just auto kill themselves because Miyazaki was shit at directing games>>732179072>pcfags never experienced real anor londo archers>pcfags never experienced real shrine of amana
>>732184385The archers got nerfed somehow? I played since PS3 release and I don't remember any nerf.
>>732178985You have been dethroned.
>>732184472Yes?Their accuracy was literally nerfed so much with time, that you could just run forward by the time of pc releaseFuck, install it from your disk and test it yourself in original version
>>732184586I'm very lazy so I won't.
>>732178985I didn't know about all the side areas you could go to with the blowdart snipers on my first playthrough so I thought I was hot shit for only dying once on the descent from the catwalks to the swamp. I got stuck on New Londo for several weeks, Anor Londo for a week or two, didn't figure out the weight system until I was almost done with the main story.
>>732178985I liked it.
>>732184604Based.
>>732184472Almost everything got nerfed in an early patch of dark souls 1Everything dropped way less souls, skeletons didn't drop any souls at allCurse stacked, built up faster, and moss lady didn't sell cures for it so you had to go through spookytown with quarter hp or less to get oneAnor londo archers had better tracking, and better positioningSkull lantern wasn't a guaranteed drop after killing all the necromancersThe nigger that shut the gate on you in the parish respawnsIzalith dragon asses also respawn, and have an aggro radius of ten kilometersBut it was fun
>>732180739How about a first playthrough, or just wanting route variety or different experiences? Also theres a very small ammount of unique items thereBut seriously imagine a first playthrough where someone goes to blighttown before depths, or a repeat where someone wants to kill gaping dragon from down there. Being walled off at that point is ridiculous, huge turnoff
>>732184545came here to post thisblighttown has literally nothing on bilewater. Specially not when youre underprepared, and bilewater's window for being underprepared is about 10 times bigger
>>732181651Yeah when you realize only a tiny percentage of people have souls, the majority of those being white people, and that white people make about 8% of the entire Earth's population, the future of humanity looks very bleak.
>>732178985How did people struggle with blighttown?>Muh blowdarts!You should have 50 moss from casually exploring the basin. Even if you don't, poison does almost no damage. You have 15 estus and 5 castings of heal, just let it run its course.And blowdarters don't respawn.>Gank lizards!Can be stunlocked to death by a dagger and fight very passively compared to other humanoids.>Can't see shit!Turn up your brightness>I keep falling!Use the ladders. And the swaying bridges magnet you on so just walk straight.This game has Tomb of Giants, Duke's Archives, and the gank forest and you've been whining about Blighttown for twenty years?! Why?
>>732179046fpbp
>>732190443>Gank lizardsYou talking about the deformed mole people?
>>732181324You know, it’s where everyone threw their shit buckets out the window, did you ever look up?
>>732181990>>732181651Reincarnation is the scariest belief, until you remember why God made infinity insects and diseases that kill shitskins. Who knows, you might get lucky and be an elephant stomping skulls. You have a higher chance of killing humans than ever having to be one again.
>>732190443>Why?You gotta remember that Blighttown was a slideshow in terms of performance.
>>732184545lol. Lmao even. You pathetic faggot, when I was a wee boy I naturally sequence broke CoM waterways with no purity ring. I finished SS swamps without even noticing there was poison.
>>732180341Farron Keep truly is in the top 5 worst areas across all Souls games. Wow.
>>732190443the blowdarts shoot toxic not poison and toxic fucking rapes you. (4,200 damage over 3 minutes, the equivalent of a dozen or so low level flasks)the toxic cure is also a much rarer drop than the other moss clumps.only 1 merchant sold the cures in the base game so unless youre knew it in advance to stock up youre likely to walk into blighttown with only a handful of em.
>>732178985the framerate sure did
>>732190443>You should have 50 moss from casually exploring the basin. Even if you don't, poison does almost no damage. You have 15 estus and 5 castings of heal, just let it run its course.>And blowdarters don't respawnsome kind of weird genre of troll post that assumes every player has the rite of kindling, and explored darkroot, and has points in attunement, AND has points in faith when they get to blighttown, and grabbed Heal from Petrus for 4k (or started Priest?) yet doesn't remember that the toxic status is different from the poison statusnot sure what to make of the blend of high- and low levels of game knowledge
>>732179081>Playing das2lol, lmao
I remember using DarkSouls123 as my university password because i loved the original DS so much. Yes Elon is my spirit animal how could you tell
Sen's is harder but this is by far the worst. It's the ONLY boss I ever die on now
>>732178985Well since demon's souls I start very vanilla=soldier/no gift. I usually start as a warrior with no gift so I can't use the short cut and skip everything.
>>732197610patience bro. Just bring a big shield and block the hands until it derps out and does the other attack.
It made me drop the game for sure
I found Blight Town through the giant canion area.I the lower city was the next to last area I explored.I can't relate to the most iconic experiences of ds1.
>>732186273>Skull lantern wasn't a guaranteed drop after killing all the necromancersIt still isn't. I don't get it from them on most of my playthroughs.>Izalith dragon asses also respawn, and have an aggro radius of ten kilometersThey didn't respawn, but they did all swarm you the second you entered the area so killing even one was a nightmare. Good times.I would love to play the release version casually if it wasn't for the dogshit 25fps PS3 version.
>>732198349>It still isn't. I don't get it from them on most of my playthroughsI *think* it's like the mimic head where the last one is guaranteed to drop it if you killed all the othersbut I mean it's not even that big of a deal you only need to run past 3 skeletons to get to the one next to Patches
>>732197684This is the way. I did this for the first time recently and had a lot more fun navigating the path to blighttown the real way as opposed to the valley of drakes shortcut. Miyazaki cooked even with the less popular areas
>>732198349>It still isn't. I don't get it from them on most of my playthroughs.Did you kill all 6? Because it will
>>732180667>since the movesets are so much betterare they? how? they feel identical to me
>>732198506>>732198636That's very possible. I guess I never actually had to be pushed down the pit to get the skull lantern only to get one-hit by the bone towers down there at lvl 1, that you also can't run past (although it doesn't matter anyway since it takes half a century to kill even one necromancer at lvl 1, let alone 6 of them)
>>732199053just touch the bonfire before you get pushed by patches bro(nah but I actually missed that bonfire on my first playthrough lol)
>>732179072yeah these made me way madder than almost anything else in the game lamo
>>732178985>Pov, you come to India
>>732178985I don't even know what the fuck this is and I'm 40.
>>732178985It run at 20fps so yeah, it's understandable
>>732178985this made Blighttownies piss and shit their pants out of dysentery
>>732186273And mosquitos were infinite
>>732179192>pc versionNot when the 60fps ptch came out and that was still gfwl
>>732203985Is this no longer the case? I've been replaying PTDE recently and they felt infinite, but maybe it's some high spawn cap per hole or whatever they spawn from.
>>732178985game?
>>732179514Spoken like a faggot that only played post change
As others have said, Blighttown is only hated because of its performance on consoles (I can't remember whether it ran poorly on the GFWL version, of if that was just the GFWL version running poorly in general)
>>732204341Boku no Pico
>>732204341Pimeät Sielut
>>732180485While true I do like Elden Ring for being a bit more streamlined too, it's a nice middle ground between Souls and something more like Zelda
>>732204432>darkroot>sucks
>>732178985Curently doing a playthrough with the boys.Blighttown is alright, just dont get stabbed by the hobos with their aids syringes.Tomb of the Giants is WAY fucking Worse.Especially in MP.
>>732181880>You did not by any stretch of the means beat the gameI used summons for every fight, had a giant dad build and saw the end credits. I won
>>732186273Curse stacking was the most bullshit of bullshit
>>732204563Yes. Every time they've tried to do a "field" area where you're not actively being threatened by something, it has sucked.>2-2Sucks>Darkroot GardenSucks>that weird little area between Duke's Archives and Crystal CaveSucks>the area between Demon Ruins and Lost IzalithSucks>Frigid OutskirtsSucks for different reasons, but still sucks>Lake of RotAlso sucks for different reasons, but still sucksI get that you're supposed to be being invaded by people while you're wandering around Darkroot Garden, but it rarely happened and it basically never happens now.
>>732204875>rarely happened2012 and 2013 that was BUSSINi got a darkroot gank-invasion about 4 years ago on ps3 as well, really fast.
