>>732209981I've played all the souls games and had the most fun in PvP with Elden RingAt first I thought it was gay how you'd get in a 3v1 almost every time you invaded but most players are so shit at the game that it doesn't really matter
>>732210208You are a worthless nigger who should be skinned and boiled alive.If you died today the world would be genuinely better off
>>732209739Demon Prince is one of the worst bosses ever. Fighting it in Nightrein only reminded me of how shit they are.
2 and 3 are tied for worst for me. Both are shit in different ways.Replaying DeS right now really makes me miss that kind of scrappy, experimental, inexperienced fromsoft.

>>732209418>>majority of bosses are badThe opposite of the truth?If there's one thing DS3 gets right, its the bosses
Dark Souls 3 was very disappointing and overall especially with time between now and its release, it's just not very good.So it's very telling that it's still miles better than 2.
>>732210581>are you me?Yes.
>>732209418>majority of bosses are badFuck off. Unlike in Elden Ring, most DS3 bosses are kino AND ludo.

>>732210376Demon Prince is the best boss in DS3. First time I ever played the game I beat it on my first try. Loved to co-op it too.
>>73221089090% of DS3 bosses let you get away with roll spamming, making it the inferior game

>reading this thread while listing to king's field soundtracks as I have been a lot lately>>732210581>2 and 3 do both suck but for vastly different reasons>Demon's and 1 still hold up thoBased, there's still some of us around. The direction of From post-DS1 bothers me still. I wish to find more games and studios like oldFrom. And more-so, hope that a developer/studio can take what is now lost. Also if any of you are similar in this regard, I recommend Shadow Tower Abyss. Great lighting, artstyle, atmosphere, something modern devs are ignorant of.

>>732211941I haven't played it in over a decade now, every now and then I feel like beating it again to form an opinion about it but everything I remember about this game makes me not want to play it.
>>732211941Funny early last year I finished all 3 Souls games back to back and was the first time playing them. Going from DS1 to DS2 was a shock. Constantly I had this nagging feeling of disappointment, and I kept thinking "there's no fucking way this is the same developer". It shouldn't even be called Dark Souls, it's, in many respects, is its own thing, for better or for worse (mostly worse). I don't know if it being the easiest modern From game was a blessing in disguise or not. Even down the audio design of the game it sucks. Horribly inconsistent art style, awful textures and lighting/shadows. Bizarre game. The colossal downgrade that is going from DS1 to DS2 is amazing to me, of all sequels in games I've played, none matches to the DS1>DS2 step-down. Hell, replaying R&C recently and R&C2>R&C3 isn't as bad (and it's bad).I'm aware of the "B-team" idea, I don't know how much of it is true or false, I've only heard it in passing a handful of times. Looking at not only the quality of DS2, but also the development times/windows of DS2 and BB, it sounds plausible.
>>732209418Filtered
>>732212098Everyone is calling BB shit now that people actually played it and the DS1 webms are laughable.
>>732212108>cluncI like it.
>>732210902>Crystal Sage, tree with ballsAwesome bosses
>>732209418You just described DS1
>>732212210Dark Souls 2 was made twice. The levels are boxes because that's all Tanimura had time for, there's an incomplete Iron Keep in DS2's files that's from the first dev cycle and it's literally a different dungeon. The amount of dev work that got wasted is unreal.

>>732209418idc lol, ds3 ended the series in a way I found to be satisfying, two kino final bosses, several cool endings, alternate timeline firelink shrine was kino.
>>732211082Dark souls 3 has aged the worst out of all of them. It’s the actual rollslop people think Elden ring is. And that’s just the base gameplay. It also has huge issues of linearity, extremely corny reliance on DUDE DARK DAE REMEMBER DARK SOULS 1, and balance.

Not my favourite Dark Souls game, but it has my favourite Souls boss, and one of my all-time favourite vidya bosses. Yeah I know you're typically 'over-levelled' by the time you meet him, but he's fantastic and bittersweet. For lore, and for developer design—to show From can make good bosses but just don't most of the time. Not cheap, no tricks, no magic, no "gotchas :)" non-stop aggression, just melee on melee KINO.
>>732212995Disingenuously skipping the first phase which your boi mathewmuhtosis threw a hissy fit about
>>732212774Ugly ass monster design
>>732213083Dark souls 3 is the easiest souls game by a mile
>>732212774Why does he keep getting in the middle of the enemies? Is he retarded?
>>732212995>why isn't a slow lumbering knight in heavy armor and a big weapon doing anime flips and 10 hit combos and have aim bot tracking
it's the best game in the series because it has the ringed city and gael
>>732209418

>>732213149That's DS2.
>>732211876actually fucking filtered kek
>>732209418DS3 was just Diet Bloodborne but you're stuck in dark souls rollspam and no gun to stop the enemies from flailing like retards. Then for elden ring they QUADRUPLED DOWN on this "design" and made it so enemies now have infinite armor while infinitely attacking with endless followups and then they also fly away with their jetpacks so you can only get one or two hits in so your play time can artificially increase by chasing a boss that runs away from you, and then the DLC had all of the above but now all bosses explode in AoE spam and orbital lasers, basically pivoting the game to become bullet-hell on top of rollspam slop too. Fromsoft is so fucking bad now, they get hard carried by good press and their cultists running damage control and free marketing online.
>>732213163Because the enemy he was trying to attack instantly flew away as soon as he swung his sword.
>>732213270Dark souls 1 first lord soul you will probably fight is seethe or nito>Seethe (5,525 HP)>Nito (4317 HP)Dark souls 2 first lord soul you will probably fight is lost sinner or rotten >Lost Sinner (3560 HP)>Rotten (7080 HP)Dark Souls 3 first lord soul you will fight is >Abyss Watchers (1584 HP)In a game with way more dps too
>>732213354Holy skill issue
>>732211004>game forces you to switch up your playstyle to add variety to gameplay>anon gets fucked hard and blames the devs
>>732213354All truths. A shame no other dev took the DS1 style and formula after Fromslop shat the bed with DS2 and only got worse from there with spam trash (player and enemies).
>>732213437Dark souls 3 is such shite

>>732213284>Farron Keep is not goodYes it is
>>732213363>miss attack>that means I have to get in the middle of the enemies???Why doesn't he just back off so he can focus on the big enemy without getting stunlocked by the trash mobs? Is he retarded?
>>732213437Note how in other souls it’s “probably fight” because the player has an actual choice of where to go and in linear souls 3 it’s “will fight” because you do not have a choice because the game is a glorified hallway
>>732213354>DS3 was just Diet BloodborneBloodborne is Diet Dark Souls 3
>>732213437>late game bosses vs midgame bosses vs early game boss

>>732213437>HP = difficultyAbyss Watchers are harder than Seethe and Neato, they both have like 4 moves
>>732213135Retard
>>732213735No they won't, I've played that partAnd even if they did you'd want to keep all of them on your screen at the same time so rolling in the middle of them is a completely nonsensical, 60 IQ play
>>732213809>that silver knight staring at that painting...kino...
>>732213657>in linear souls 3 it’s “will fight” because you do not have a choiceAnd the Health amounts are adjusted to account for that. Why is this a problem again?
>>732213863Incase some shitposter goes "huh there's no silver knight there!"
>>732213746Seethe maybe but not Nito. Abyss Watchers is really easy especially with a strength build
>>732213746"Nito" is actually Nito and a bunch of skeletons that most players are too scared to fight so they wait for Nito to move out of their aggro range.
>>732213735No they don't lmao. Wow the people that shit on DS3 are literal retards, who would've guessed.
>>732213746A raw +3 longsword has 197 AR and does standard damage the abyss watchers have 15% standard damage res. One handed R1 does 167.45 damage.The abyss watchers have 1548 HP. They die in literally ten basic longsword R1s. To an on curve +3 weapon with zero scaling. One R1 cost 20 stamina. They are extremely, laughably easy.
>>732209629Yup, it looked amazing when walking up to it. Then you realize its just one street with a side alley and you hop down into the sewers right after. Fucking garbage
>>732214012>why is it a problem that a marquee lord soul system boss is disgustingly undertuned They have 200 more hp than fucking vordt. That’s a joke no matter how much you slice it.

>>732214347….I kinda just fucking did by breaking down their hp and resistance compared to an extremely common and basic weapon (with no scaling too)
>>732214326Yet every one I watched that played this game on release always get stuck on Abyss Watchers
>>732214431Yeah can you show that?
based v finally realizing how bad actually was jeet&timmy's first souls game
>>732214416>first big dark souls 3 bossThis is kind of the point. The “first big” boss is a severely undertuned joke of a boss that has no fucking hp.I know because I just played the game. Funnily enough when I was googling “abyss watchers HP” to get the exact the number. The first result obviously is the wiki, the second result is a REDDITOR asking if their HP is too low. Even redditors think this shit is too easy
>>732214267>>732214326Abyss Watchers fully regenerate for Phase 2, and you also have to deal with the secondary Watchers.
>>732214567>secondaryOne of which helps you too. Or, is a third party that attacks the enemy watchers but may attack you too? I forgot the specifics.
>>732214491… I just did? Here>>732214267
>Actually argueing abyss watchers isnt a pushoverWhat? I didn't play mage so it might be different for them but they were a fucking joke. I expected a lot more when the phase 2 cutscene happened but it really was a complete letdown. Soundtrack was 10/10 though
>>732214371Yeah, it’s stupid how DS3 reuses so much shit from DS1DS2 did it right. You have original bosses like the Old Dragonslayer and the Belfry Gargoyles + the Graverobber trio in the DLC. And it has tons of original concepts like the Old Chaos, the NG+ bosses being reincarnations of Gwyn and the other Lord Soul bearers, and the queens being reincarnations of Manus’ soul.
>>732214567Wiki is total hp bro, the first phase dies in like 4 hits on curve.

Now compare SoC, Gael, Friede, and Midir to the much harder final bosses+DLC bosses in DS1 and 2
>>732214678>DS2 did it rightIn DS2 you're literally fighting Ornstein within the first hour.
>>732214660Abyss Watchers are hard if you do them first. People get stopped by Farron Keep, to do Cathedral, show up 10-20 levels and 3 upgrade levels later, and roll over them.
Dark Souls 2 will always be the retarded black sheep of the series

Hello. I played every modern from soft souls game at release and these are the only ones I liked. Please explain why.Demons Souls (the ps3 version I didnt play the remake)Dark Souls 1Elden RingI didnt like these ones:Dark Souls 2Dark Souls 3BloodborneSekiro
>>732215136But I did, right here>>732214267
>>732214445Name a single fucking one. You don't even need to find the exact video, I will find it for you if it's still on youtube. Just give the name.
>>732209418I think DS2 is "worse" than DS3 when it comes to enemy placement... In DS2, you have a health bar to worry about, dying too much reduces your health, so when the game throws a room or two filled with shit-tier enemies the thought process becomes "the safest thing to do is kill these enemies so they stop respawning so I don't waste any health or humanities trying to run past them" which is super boring and unfun but it's a lot better than having no health and no humanity. Like it doesn't happen often in DS2, I've been playing it recently and like it, but shit like Iron Keep, Iron Passage, and that single room from The Lost Bastille with like seven royal knights (the room right before the ruin sentinel fight) bring the whole game down... otherwise I feel the game is great about placing enemies, like I love No Man's Wharf, the rest of the Lost Bastille, the spider area, the gutter... areas that are fun to run through the first time
>>732214859I did them first as a basic bitch knight in heavy armor. >>732215083>Source, sourceIt's ok if you struggled with a boss, don't try to bullshit other people about it. Why won't you post your gameplay if you think everyone just records and saves all the games they play through.

>>732212227Thisps4 emulation apparently got pretty decent lately and multiple friends of mine are finally playing it for the first time and now people are becoming aware that Bloodborne is actually on the lower end of the tier list for Souls games. It was carried by the mystique of being ps4 exclusive and now the veil has been pulled to reveal that Bloodborne is more style than substance.Sekiro was a much better "not called souls" From Software souls game
>>732215352All anyone brings up when the "DS2 has enemy spam" is the one iron keep hallway and maybe SoA. Meanwhile in DS3 literally every single area is enemy spammed. The lothric wall, the undead keep, the forest, the catacombs, the demon ruins, irithyll itself, irithyll dungeon. Every single one of these dogshit areas is spammed to the brim with enemies. There's no time to pause and take in the atmosphere of an area because every single corner you turn or new space you come across is going to have 3+ enemies crammed into it no matter how tight of a space it is. It's absolute dogshit.
>>732210890Nah they suck ass, also Elden GOTD clears
>>732215583A r*ddit poll with 1.1k plus votes thinks their hp is too low imagine failing to filter fucking redditors so badly even they notice something is wrong
>>732215639Granted it has mixed reception so it’s not like people actually defend it that often but the first section of ashes of ariandel is basically a flat snow field with 100 enemies spammed over the place
>>732215163>Dragonslayer Armor bonfire>Run to the elevator>Run to fogThe runback isnt that long.
>>732215163meaning the Dragonslayer Armor bonfire is like 2 minutes away tops and there are no enemies
>>732214445Since someone mentioned DSP in this thread, I decided to check how he did with Abyss Watchers. He is often considered to be one of the most braindead retarded players ever.>https://youtu.be/uDsO63stdo4?t=1289>33 deaths before entering the boss room>https://youtu.be/uDsO63stdo4?t=1944>34 deaths after boss defeat screenOh wow, 1 fucking death. So hard, so stuck.The boss is a joke.
>>732215838The elevator is slow as fuck
>>732215352In DS2 the real threat is the whole area, not only the boss like the other games, and you can tell it was purposely designed that way because it's the only one in the series where it's extremely punishing or almost impossible to simply bossrush like an adhd toddler. It is also the reason why it has so many important consumables like healing gems, repair powder, spell restoring herbs, etc and why enemies have limited respawns by default. They wanted you to stop being a bonfire baby and explore more.
>>732215889I’m going to quote a dark souls 3 defender in this thread.This is your “first big boss”. A boss dsp kills on his second attempt. It surely was worth waiting for!
>>732215639Yes, but you can sprint and roll your way to the boss fog without ever running out of stamina. Did you think players actually stopped to fight all those mobs? They're purely decorative, only there to provide the illusion of DS3 having gameplay between bossfights.
>>732215369>Why won't you post your gameplayI doWhy can't you?
>>732215960This is why DS3 is so dogshit. The extremely linear world layout and the enemy spam combined with the individual area design (very tight and maze like) encourages the player to just run through areas like a 'tard, not explore but find the route through the maze to the next boss because that IS the optimal way to play and enjoy Dog Shit 3. There's no encouragement of actual exploration. Even to get to a secret area like Smouldering Lake, how do you do it? You just run across the bridge and fall down. You don't carefully explore and find it. The entire games design encourages you to just run through like an ADHD 'tard to the next boss fight. Perfect game for ADHD zoomers no wonder they love it so much.
>>732211723Nah I'm getting tired of this shit. DS1 was a fun change of pace for the action genre but the spawn of the souls-like derivative just slows down gameplay and gets boring when refined. It's like aircombo juggleslop, it becomes trite. Sekiro and Nioh were the peak, it's over now.
>>732215719First of all, go back.Second, i'm not saying their hp isn't low, i' saying you're wrong at saying they don't reset on phase 2.
>>732216343>You just run across the bridge and fall downYou need to cut down the bridge first.
>>732213487>game forces you to switch up your playstyleIt doesn't force you to switch anything, you're still approaching them the same way you approach other encounters in the game - swing your weapon, cast a spell, or run past it. The unique "mechanic" of this encounter is that you have to do it with a sliver of health - not because you did something wrong, it's just an arbitrary handicap that they decided to throw at you>anon gets fucked hard and blames the devsI can't quite hear you with From's dick in your mouth. Yes, I blame the devs when I notice a bad design in the game.
>>732216361>I’m just moving the goalposts!
>>732214804>tranny totally ignored this
>>732216343Git gud
>>732216556The goalpost is right where i placed it first. But thanks for bumping this thread about a game you hate btw.
>>732215719>A r*ddit poll Go back
>>732216671>i
>>732216225Who the fuck records their gameplay you retard? Are you this underage you think anyone outside an extreme minority does it? Why are you defending some pushover boss this hard? Absolutely baffling hill to die on
>>732210757There are no good bosses in the first half of the game, it's stupid gimmick fights one after the next
>>732216618For one it’s not actually true. Remember when namco gave boss stats among all the games and the objective biggest filter was fume knight
>>732216548Why did shazam lose and get raped?
>>732216814Wrong>>732216782So you can't show that?
>>732216715So you got filtered by something even r*ddit thinks is too easy?
>>732216842Fume knight is a sad joke, and it's not his merits retards enter his room without doing the gay treasure hunt
>>732209418Dark Souls 3 contrarianism is getting deeply pathetic at this point and faggots like OP are running out of steam >worst areas of any soulslikeNo one in their right mind would be willing to argue that a game like DS2 has better levels, some of the best FromSoft areas are in 3 like the Cathedral and Irithyll, even the minor levels like Smoldering Lake are preferable to Elden Ring's underground areas like Lake of Rot>enemy spam everywhereLiterally not a problem with 3, you might be thinking of DS2>majority of bosses are badThe game has the best bosses in the series and most people agree
>>732217008One of the main issues besides the ashen idols healing him is him being nigh-immune to fire and dark damage so you can't cheese him with hexes and pyromancies
>>732216930Other anon posted DSP before, if he can do that shit with 1 death you have absolutely no ground to stand on. That dude is just barely more capable than that game journo that played cuphead. I think you are also confusing me with some other anon so i'm just going to dip. Enjoy your shit
>>732217039>filenamePost disregarded.
>>732217171So you can't show yourself playing the game and proving that the Abysswatchers are easy?
If PCfags had gotten Bloodborne right before DS3 would they finally admit how shit it is?
>>732217193What bothers you about that string of numbers?
>>732217193how can i filter out that r*dditor
>>732213746If the abyss watchers didn't have a cutscene and boss health bar nobody would remember that fight at all, it's braindead easy and completely forgettable. The godrick knight at gatefront is a more challenging encounter
>>732217171>DSP is comically terrible at every single game he plays no matter the genre>but used to be a fightan fag that was able to compete fairly competently in tournaments I don’t get it
>>732217362>If the abyss watchers didn't have a cutscene and boss health bar nobody would remember that fight at all, it's braindead easy and completely forgettableCan you show your own gameplay of that fight?

>>732209418it was alright
>>732217039>some of the best FromSoft areas are in 3 like the Cathedral and IrithyllLet's cherry pick IRITHYLL the literal only not dogshit part of the game. Let's ignore the rest of the 30 hours of High Wall, Undead Settlement, Forest, Catacombs, Irithyll Dungeon, Lothric Castle, all being total dogshit and lifeless derivatives of DS1. >this game is amazing because it has Irithyll! (even though all of the other areas are terrible and the worst in the series with zero imagination out into them)You're shitting on DS2 areas but they at least had creativity put into what they are. A mine taken over by spiders, shrine of Amana, a museum like area, dragon aerie, Tower of Flame, No man's wharf, all very novel ideas that expanded on the world. Meanwhile what are DS3 areas>hurr undead settlement from ds1 but worse, a forest that's waaaaay worse than the ds1 forest, awful catacombs, smouldering lake and demon ruins which are the cool areas of 1 turned into a lump of shit, a dragon area that's a rip off of dragon aery, duke's library from 1 but shit, anor londo but shit.Wow it's like every area is just a bland and worse derivative of a good area from the previous Dark Souls games, other than Irithyll. But because Irithyll exists we ignore all that and the game is now amazing!
>>732216930Name a good boss fight in the first half of ds3 then
>>732209418>>worst areas of any soulslike, all bland boring dogshit, secret area takes cool areas of DS1 and makes them badso you just didn’t play DS1 or 2, huh?
>>732217419I dont know the first thing about fighting games but from what i've heard he played some weird version of street fighter. It might also be a case of where some master swordsman is fighting someone else and expects certain moves but he just bumbles his way through to victory. Could also be a brain tumor/head trauma. I'm sure there is some lolcow documentary that covers that shit specifcally
>>732209418Another shit thread with shit take from faggot OP. Where the hell do they come from... why...
I wonder if DS2fags think it’s weird how no other game people like requires a dedicated defense force of schizos with no lives defending the game from any criticism 24/7 to convince other people the game is good.
>>732217618I have no respect for a man who thinks Shrine of Amana is better than the 3 parts of Lothric Castle
>>732209418>majority of bosses are badHard disagree. It's got the most consistently good boss fights outside of Sekiro (maybe BB, haven't played it).
>>732217663Rotten Greatwood, Crystal Sage, Abyss Watchers, Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Stray Demon
>>732217564Dancer is the first good boss of ds3 correct>Vordttutorial pushover>Abyss walkersgenuinely a joke of a fight only memorable because of a kino cutscene>Sage, deacons, wolnirindefensible dogshit>Nooo you can't use the storm ruler to fight the boss designed for you to use the storm rulerterrible fight >Pontiffnot great not terrible
>>732217039“Dark souls 3 contrarianism” is pretending the game isn’t shit. Let’s just take a look at your post Specifically bosses. >the game has the best bosses in the series Is not true and not something most people agree on. Let’s just look at the actual bosses>iudexMost people would agree this is a good boss>vordtMost people would agree this is a “meh” boss, if they can even remember him lmao>treeMost people would agree this is a mediocre to bad boss with an uninspired gimmick >crystal sage Most people would agree this is a mediocre to bad boss with an uninspired gimmick >deacons Most people would agree this is bad boss that’s barely a boss>abyss watchers Most people would agree the soundtrack is kino but it’s way too easy >wolnir Most people would agree it’s a bad boss >pontiffMost people would agree it’s a good hoss>aldritch Probably most divisive boss yet, wouldn’t get a consensus “most people agree”. Because of that you can conclude it’s not that great though >that demon in the ash lake I can’t even remember his name.

>ds3 storyline is shit>BROOO BUT WHAT ABOUT COWADOODY AI-LIENS YOU PLAYED THAT AND ITS WORSE LMAOOO
>>732210208this shit made me realize the only reason why niggas hate on 2 for the ganks is cus they project everything they dislike about the entire franchise onto it because of miyazaki personality cult
Is it even possible to grind 30 ears of concord in DS3 these days? RIP if you want to make an endgame faith build now
>>732209418anyone who has 3 as their favorite started with 3. I have personally witnessed this multiple times. 3 is the fucking worst souls game with the shittiest fanbase.
>>732214219You can see them following him in the video, what are you talking about?
Forty one bosses and only five good ones.
>>732217834You say this but completely memory holed trash like wolnir >haven’t played BBah that makes sense
>>732218049>filenameYeah as expected of a das3 jeet
>>732217905Correct boss evaluations thank you
>>732210581>>732210446Agreed, DeS and DaS are the best ones, by far, but 2 has lots of soul too since it was made by the King's Field guy who managed to salvage the project. Just like the first two games, it's a dungeon crawler first, not a fucking boss rush like 3 is. God 3 sucks. It's a shame I never got to relive my high of playing Dark Souls for the first time. That tier of interconnectedness seems to be lost technology at this point.
>>732209418why do DS3 babies get so defensive when their game is objectively the worst
>>732218049>43 resultsbro ain't even playing
>>732218196Nigger
Good job bros, the thread is going great! Keep up the good work and then regroup in the DS2 correct the record discord server and we’ll whip up a new thread! I think this time we’ll try deflecting to DS1.
>>732217419He pretends to be retarded on stream
>>732209629Literally hallway: the city.
>>732218410This right here is kind of a microcosm of dark souls 3. People try to discuss why dark souls 3 isn’t that good and the deflection is >but the older games!Kind of like dark souls 3 itself, life imitates art, it’s pottery, but soulless pottery
>>732209418The second half of this game feels pretty bad but at least the DLC is enjoyable unlike 2.
>>732218627Why is it that you niggers never apply the member berries argument to any other sequel?
>>732217905What game has better bosses? Do tell. Elden Ring? Don't make me laugh
>>732218741Yeah Elden ring does have better bosses than dark souls 3
>>732217815Lothric Castle would be decent if it wasn't enemy spammed and Shrine of Amana is a creative area at least and not >generic insert castle
>>732218410The funny thing is that DS2fag isn't even in this thread
This unhinged rant about Abyss Watchers being too easy, reading the wrong hp values on fextralife, the refusal to show any kind of gameplay to back up his words, constant DSP posting.This unhinged retard spent 90% of the thread screaming the Abysswatchers only have 1500 hp and now he is moving the goalpost over some nonspecified "red*it poll"What the actual fuck is wrong with Dark Souls 2 fanboys? Why are they so miserable all the time?
>>732217946could say the same of ds2fags
>>732218739Because very rarely will you find disgustingly on the nose instances of DUDE REMEMBER THIS FROM THE OLDER TITLE as in dark souls 3, or if you do, it’s made fun of
>>732217741Another slop eater post... by the slop eating retard... Where the hell do they come from... why...
>>732218802i was called a ds2fag like hundreds of times by you pinkos
>>732218058You fucking idiot, there's a difference between having a good average, especially by From standards, and having no weak bosses.
>>732218739The actual reason is an interesting one and a topic that is under discussed:The reason people make fun of the member berries in dark souls 3, is because the new lore and concepts introduced in dark souls are complete and total dogshit that feel like out of place bloodborne rehashes. The deep? The soul blood? Get the fuck out of here. Who cares lmao.
>>732218807take into account that nearly all seething about fromsoft can be traced back to sonyfags being butthurt over fromsoft "betraying" them after not sticking exclusively with playstation after bloodborne and it starts to makes sense
>>732218907DS2fag singular, the webm spammer

>>732218807>brings up dark souls 2 unprompted Least insane dark souls 3 fangay
>ds2troon deflecting his antics onto ds3
>>732219119Wrong, this one: https://arch.b4k.dev/_/search/filename/being%20an%20adventurer/I just searched one of his favorite phrases at random and instantly got like 40 results
>>732218962I never understood the lore but I 100% the games as in kill every single mob as well as the other shit excluding covenant grinds. DS3 was like, at first I was really dissapointed because the first bonfire teleports you somewhere else. I got stuck on that for 20 minutes on release day. So you start the game and already you have this sinking feeling that the world is not going to be an interconnected maze, which it is not. Then you get about halfway through, and at least all the enemies and areas are new. We're gaining momentum, getting unique weapons, reach the cathedral of the deep and.... Oh look you're back in dark souls 1 for the next 4 hours! It's contrived, it's lame, and at the time what was really fun was the combat being sped up. Actually being able to roll through attacks consistently was much much easier in 3 than ever before. But even at the time I knew it was rollslop. The game gets criticized and it is mostly deserved.
>>732219205DS3 doesn't really have varied builds, I feel. At least not for PvE.
>>732219273No one asked to see your posts
ds2>ds3
>>732219338Faith is a fun build for DS3 in both PvE and PvP but the problem is that the best weapon buff DMB is locked behind grinding for 30 ears of concord as well as having pretty limited options in the early game.
Out of all the games why does DS3 live rent free in DS2fags’ heads more than any of the other games?
>apoplectic snoy asspain for nearly ten years>all because a game wasn't exclusive to playstationI'll never understand it.
>>732219507Because it's the only one that's remotely as bad as DS2
>>732219507He says letting dark souls 2 live rent free in his head in a dark souls 3 thread
>>732219507Other way around imo, basically every other day some youtuber fag makes another >actually….dark souls 2 is….LE GOODThey let fags like matt let rent free in their head. Basically no mention of dark souls 3 Meanwhile dark souls 3 fags be like>………>atleast it’s better than dark soils 2!
I'm still supposed to just believe DS1 is actually the good one even though not one webm of that walking simulator you call a game has ever come out that made it look FUN. B-but it has atmosphere and le ughhh...nothing to do with gameplay or systems or depth or complexity or anything.

>>732219205>>732219338doing builds in ds3 is shit because it's so linear. You have a ton of options in 1 and 2 since you can run around to a lot of different areas. Every fucking playthrough of DS3 is the goddamn same.

>>732221642DS1 has literally the best weight and feel to the combat in the series. 2 is floaty dogshit and 3 is even worse, hitting enemies feels like you're using a fucking feather duster and everything being sped up because it wanted to ape bloodborne without understanding why it worked in that game ruins things even more.

>>732221885>my feels mean more than your webmsThis is why we cant have logical and constructive discussion because you fanboys are way too emotional about the subject.
>>732221898All FromSoft games suffer from linearity besides Demon's Souls, even Elden Ring is pretty linear despite the open world (the game becomes a straight line after you reach Leyndell). They really need to take more marks from Zelda in this department. Everyone loves DS1's world because it has the most freedom to explore where you want even if many levels are blocked off
Someone needs to give THE DS2fag a better name, because it isn't clear that he's actually one guy who's been spamming the same webms for like three years straight trying to change people's opinion of DS1, DS2, and DS3.
>>732222139>All FromSoft games suffer from linearity Wrong.>besides Demon's SoulsHoly shit extra wrong. I like DeS but what the fuck are you smoking.
>he's still going
>>732209418This was zoomer’s first soul game and thus they gather to defend it like a hivemind. For a real souls veteran, many things stand out as bad>poise not working which made r1 straight sword spam the meta (lmao right out the gate)>big weapons do shit damage anyway , armor gives no poise so you must rely on art of war for poise. Armor is just a cosmetic, 30% roll and 68% roll are the same>magic dealt shit damage, faith caster best offensive spells were crammed in the late game areas, only pyro was somewhat decent>invasion prioritizing the host’s safety forcing lone invaders into 3v1s, i played solo several times during game peak and did not even get invaded except by alrich faithful and farron guys, all invaders were likely routed into uphill outnumbered battles>game is linear, areas do not loop back into themselves, you cannot rush to the items for your preffered build (not that it matters because all you need is a straight sword), always forced to do abyss watchers as first lord of cinder>bosses were decent but either had too little hp (base game) or had way too much hp (dlc bosses)>ashes of ariandel dlc is a resounding meh, and 50% of ringed city is a swamp>almost all of it is fanservice shoved down your throat for dark souls 1 nostalgiafags, i guess it was too hard to come up with something original, instead we get anor londo, siegward etc. Felt lame>felt shorter than dark souls 2 and i felt more railroaded playing it, even though mechanically it is better than dark souls 2Overall verdict, its okay, but definitely not the peak of the trilogy
>>7322221392 is less linear than Demons Souls though. It has more areas and bosses and lets you get to later levels in different orders and in different ways. You can get to the gutter 4 different ways. If you wanna get 3-2 in Demons Souls your only way is through 3-1.
>>732221898>smoldering lakeDog shit area that has no lore coherency and ruins the lore of 1 by combining Ash lake with demon ruins and Blighttown >demon ruinsDogshit copypaste of Catacombs with an awful maze full of enemy spam. Just incredibly fucking lazy and uninspired trying to make it epic by referencing a cool part of DS1>>profaned capitalBoring boss run, more enemy spam everywhere just to run to the boss.>>road of sacrificesBoring enemy spam hallway>>anor londoExtremely shit version of Anor Londo from DS1 (zero creativity) AND it's only the entrance hall they couldn't even be bothered to give anymore parts, so lazy>>consumed king's gardenBoring square full of more enemy spam where the game literally WANTS you to run around the black abyss monsters.Such a dogshit game
>>732222298Even if all of that is true (it isn't), it's still the peak of the series despite it. Played all the games on launch, so i'm not blinded by nostalgia or a zoomer
Which game should I play if I wanna do a pyro build? Aside from DaS1.
>>732222467DS1.
>>732222252You can pick any level you want in Demon's Souls. That's how every Souls game should be except they have an actual connected world unlike Demon's Souls.

>>732223197Ironic because if you actually did that area you would see it's spammed with black chaos enemies and the area is literally designed for you to run around them because the game is designed as a run-past-everything boss rush for ADHD zoomers

>>732222252Did you beat 1-1 to 1-5 then do the same for 2-1 and so on? You can play it linear if you want but I thought it was a good compromise to give you the choice after 1-1 where you want to go next without being a massive pointless open world (elden ring)I love des, ds1, ds2, and elden ring, but man i wish elden ring wasn't so much empty space

>>732223628utterly appalling how much DS2fags project the problems of that game onto other, superior entries in the series. these creatures have no dignity, no shame. for 12 years straight every single day they have been polluting the internet with these sniveling arguments and deceptions. they're like the jews of the video game world

I just didn't bother to think about whether he started this one or not.What's funny is that DS3 now has its own webm-spamming schizo defending the game, although he's not in this thread. I've seen him monopolize a thread with his webm spam three or four times by now, but he's much, much newer than the DS2 schizo.

>>732209981Pure contrarianism. R1 spam is so strong even genuinely great PVPers did it. Zero passive poise and inconsistent poise on special attacks screwed the game's poise system. Elden Ring's isn't very good, but its at least better than that. You can typically take one or two hits before flinching, passively.
>>732210446Demons Souls is just not any good. The player's movement sucks and is awkward in a bad way rather than in a way that feels planned. You're really fast in certain ways, but clumsy like an ox in others. It isn't an even speed across all directions that you can adapt to, which is the worst part.

>>732209981ds3 had the best pvp of the bunch, elden ring was good but i had almost zero interest in the pvp
>>732214267>>732213437This fucking nimrod didn't realize that 1600hp is per phase, so the Abyss Watchers have ~3200 HP total. And that they're designed to be fought earlier than Seethe or Neato. And they have more complex movesets than either DS1 bosses. And you can get ganged up on in the fight depending on the aggro of the 3rd Watcher, who is much stronger than any of the skeletons in DS1. They're harder than either DS1 boss. Also moore dynamic, and have a better gimmick.

>>732230987It's all they have man
the parts of dark souls 3 i like and think there should have been more of>high wall of lothric>consumed king's garden>irithyll dungeontoo bad the game decided to spend most of its time in places with incredibly bland enemy encounters that are a total joke compared to its two/three predecessors.
>>732231158>>consumed king's gardenliterally howit's a cesspit and a hallway
>>732228724>Zero passive poise>one or two hits before flinching, passivelyFound the PvEboy.Poise being entirely dynamic is what made DS3's combat so much more interesting, instead of being just a crutch you stack on to not have to worry about what you are doing.
>>732230561i dont actually think O&S is very good, i think artorias, kalameet, four kings, capra demon among others are a lot more interesting. Gwyn if you dont parry him to death is great and actually hardDS3's bosses are mostly boring gimmicks in the first half, and then in the second half its just too style over substance because you deal with everything by rolling and then poking. Elden Ring makes it much more interesting with how you have way spergier enemy movesets but also way stronger offense/defense on the player
>>732230987>>732231138Explain why and how Dark Souls 3 is a good and notable game.
>>732231202Dark souls 3 has the most homogenous combat. It’s stagger slop
>>732231198the cesspit is filled with these SCREEECHACHACJAISHFARE hollows, which are actually pretty cool enemies that have me paying attention. i loved them in high wallIt also has these tall big sword wielding knights which, once again, are actually troublesome and play around their environmentIts an area where theres actual challenge and fighting stuff makes you consider your surroundings and shit. DS3 doesnt have anything like that 90% of the timePlus it leads to untended graves which is actually pretty kino
>>732231285>Dark souls 3 has the most homogenous combat. It’s stagger slopcan you translate this without buzzwords? wtf does that even meanyour brain is fried
>>732231198This ADHD zoomer retard last played it 10 years ago and his rose tinted glasses make him think it was an amazing area when in reality it's a square spammed with shitty enemies that you're meant to run past
>>732231345You are genuinely retarded
>>732231271correctionO&S is just as, if not more interesting than those, except it has way too much dumb jank worsening the fight>>732231345hes saying you can stunlock most enemies too easily with stuff like longswordsi havent tried a playthrough with fast weapons myself to verify that
>>732231376try to convey your point without meaningless drivel like "stagger slop" and "most homogenous combat"
>>732209418>1According to whom>2You're mad, git gud>3Bait used to be believable.
>>732231343The sword guys have disgusting button reading for their insta kick, it’s worse than anything in ER
>>732231437>i have no actual point or rebuttal, i accept your concession
>>732231285> It’s stagger slopIf you don't understand how poise work in it, sure.If you do, you can poise through nearly anything another player throw at you.
>>732231435Stagger souls 3 doesn’t deserve it. Lothric knights? Run up and stagger them. Irithyll knights? Run up and stagger them. Followers? Run up and stagger them.>>732231424Daggers can stun lock the above to death.
>>732231158>irithyll dungeonYeah I love another shitty hallway maze straight after catacombs but with even more obnoxious enemies leading to a wilted dick of a boss that's waiting to die. Such an amazing game
>>732211004My dude you said it yourself just sneak past them if you're such a little skilless bitch faggot lmao.
>>732231561*walks up and R1s you*
>>732231869*Stomp into upward slash*
>>732231283I don't really want to but briefly, it was the logical conclusion of dodge roll based combat. Enemies attack in long strings but you have enough stamina to roll through long strings. It has a dozen plus great bosses designed specifically around this. It's not original, it doesn't have much build variety but it's satisfying to play it the way it wants to be played. The way you dodge bosses is logical and rhythmical unlike ER where bosses deliberately try to fuck with your timing and cheese you with gimmicks. The actual moment to moment level design is quite strong too even though it's linear and again, unoriginal. I'm not even saying it's notable just that it's enjoyable and better than DS2.
>>732231869>r1 l2 r2*kills you*
>>732231986ERs combat is light years better than dark souls 3
>>7322319863 has the worst combat, gives you the least amount of builds, has the easiest throw-away areas in the series, and encouraging roll slop was the worst thing to come out of it
>>732231986>The actual moment to moment level design is quite strong tooIt's not though, at all. it's very weak. The level design consists of branching paths spammed with 3+ enemies around every corner in a boring generic area. DS1 and even 2 have much better level design. Even Sekiro, BB, and Elden ring have better level design. This game is the exception with absolute dogshit level design that's all just >run through generic area and ignore all enemies, if you want to explore fuck you that's not how you enjoy this game just run to the boss why the fuck do you care about anything but running to the next boss fight, fuck youThe level design is extremely bad, possibly one of the worst of any game I've ever played. There's zero thought put into it except "spam enemies in every space"
>>732232258>press L2 to awesome!erm, no
>>732231986Friede has the same exact >oh I know you rolled my attack but you get punished by the followup With her sweeping double circles. It’s exactly like the PCR cross slash that everyone had a meltdown over that ended up getting patched. But no one REALLY cared because she can get staggered and is way easier than PCR.
>>732232403Elden ring making weapon arts actually good and not a horrific dps loss is a good thing, yes.
>>732232502>Elden ring making weapon arts actually good>by just killing anything that gets hit by it instantlyerm, no
The whiplash of going from Vagrant Story to DS3 was so strong>Vagrant Story>careful methodical gameplay>every room is a piece of an overlaying puzzle>sections repeat and return on each other to the point that it's confusing>DS3>hurrr here is BOSS and you kill BOSS >and here is area with mindless enemy spam so you run to BOSS now run to BOSS>here is next area yes this is all shit design RUN TO BOSS>here is forest run to BOSS>here is catacombs run to BOSS>irithyll wow amazing game yes?>now next dogshtit area run to BOSS
>>732232375All wrong
>>732232392Git gud, OP!
It's as if the makers of the game knew the level design was dogshit uninspired trash and gave up on it themselves and just wanted players to run to the bosses, and of course the retarded zoomers ate their mess up. What an awful, terrible game.
>>732232392I’m going to follow up on your post because it’s fresh in my mind.It’s not even just that dark souls 3 has weak level design. It’s uncharacteristically bad for from’s standards. Granted my specific example is going to be more macro rather than moment to moment. But let’s look at The Ringed City>Dreg HeapConsists of you jumping down at first, you have a brief but annoying section of respawning enemies with a tutorial for the next section (the angel fucked shooting at you). I will note because you have to jump down ledges and cannot get back up, back tracking is way more tedious than a “typical” level.The next section is that dogshit where you have to run across the field and swamp with the angels shooting at you. Because you have to first clear the angels to do anything, I want to point out again it makes backtracking for the lost loot more annoying and tedious than “typical gameplay”. Then you fight the demon prince. A good boss. I’ll give credit there.But then you get to the ringed city. What is the first gameplay section? You would expect a reprieve from the bullshit because you have yet to have a “typical” exploration section. Nope. It’s yet another gimmick section where you have ranged assholes and you have to clear the source. Which again makes backtracking to actually explore at your own pace tedious. What the fuck is that? Fromsoft understands level design. They understand that you need to have variety in the gameplay challenges. They basically stacked two of the same scenarios right next to each other. See how the catacombs and the tomb of giants have different gameplay gimmicks (necromancers, then the darkness). If it was designed like the ringed city. It would be two darkness gimmick sections back to back. Or anor londo which has the rafters and archer bullshit but then you get a real level. If it was ringed city once you got the past the archers, you’d be faced with more ledge, ranged bullshit.
>>732232575You keep posting pvp for some strange reason
>>732232990Ummm but it has Irithyll and it looks AMAZING so therefore DS3 is a top tier FS game
>>732229616Artorius would not be a good fight if he was ugly.
>>732233273>DS3 is a top tier FS gamebased and true
>>732233797>Ummm but it has Irithyll and it looks AMAZING so therefore DS3 is a top tier FS gamebased and true
>>732232392Wrong>>732232990Git gud
>>732222467DS3 does the most to make mixed caster builds strong, letting you level for pyromancies, sorceries, and miracles at once.
>>732233871>DS3 is a top tier FS gamebased and true
>>732231202The entire point of leveling VIT, an otherwise basically useless stat, is to wear heavier armor that among other things, provides you with poise to resist flinching. DS3 essentially lacks this and you only get poise during attacks. Your only defense from hitstun is using an UGS or a shield and anyone in between is SOL. The Murky Hand Scythe is such a bitch specifically because even daggers can stagger people in heavy armor.
It has Irithyll and it looks amazing and that's all that matters in a game is that one twitter screencap zone
>>732232990Git gud, shitter
>>732232442Players can reliably no hit Friede even with that brutal roll catch because she's a good boss who is balanced in the player's favor in many ways. PCR is a tank with a F1 engine that is faster than you, has the most HP, doesn't hitstun, does crazy damage, has crazy combos, etc. Having all of that and a combo that gave you a 1/2 your hp bar tax periodically, was basically unacceptable.
>>732232375Talking about throw-away areas while posting one of DS2's actual hallway levels where you just move forward
>>732231370are you retarded? The post is literally shitting on dark souls 3 and not praising itAlso i played DS3 for the first time 6 months ago, immediatelly after finishing DS1 and DS2. DS3 is so much blander and gayer than the rest of the series its not even funnyEven ignoring the "muh run past" bullshit, what matters is that its one of the VERY FEW areas in the game where actually fighting the enemies is remotely engaging and threatning
>>732234112>and you only get poise during attacks.Which is why I like it. Passive poise encourage just facetanking shit - you are letting your stats do all the talking for you. Active poise reward spacing, dodging, timing and clever trading - the stats just decide what options you have at your disposal.
>>732209418The game sucks but I have comfy memories of watching Prod's invasion videos.
>>732234605Skill issue
>>732234464>im a retard that didnt invest at all in my defense and/or mechanical offense in a 100 hour RPGno wonder you prefer boring souls 3Literally just get anything. You could have gotten a shield, fancy dodge ashes, much better tanking and trading armor, useful ranged attacks, parries, whatever the fuckIts mentally retarded to arrive at the final boss of the game with nothing but rolls and pokes, with nothing busted to back it up, and go "why cant i deal with all his shit for free??" like holy shit nigger im so glad elden ring isnt like DS3 where where the "peak bosses" are first or second-tried if you do literally nothing except roll forward whenever they do anything Pic related is nothing except opaline hardtear and deflecting hardtear, you can tank and trade so much even with middling armor
>>732234656Passive poise encourages playing anything other than a rolling ninja, playing a bruiser that can take the fight to the enemy directly. It opens up the game to more play styles that fight what some players want. To be able to fight with a boss rather than around a boss. Having only poise during attacks means that you are forced to play a dodge monkey that can't stand up to a boss and has to fight around their programming. That is not satisfying to a lot of players that RP as a character who doesn't run away. There's a reason that more people like Elden Ring than Sekiro. It lets players express themselves in more unique ways.
>>732235076Git gud
>>732234867>0 soulsBrother, don't even try this "he's so easy" larp with me as though I don't know that the deflecting hardtear is one of the strongest defensive tools in the game and you still got your ass kicked before your skin-of-your-teeth webm. Yes, I'm aware that you can just shieldpoke him to death. You can also backstab loop Friede. Most players didn't organically arrive to the PCR fight with 60 Endurance and the Fingerprint Shield and an antspur rapier as their loadout.
>>732211581This actually adds to the unique atmosphere of DS2 though. It feels like you're traversing a forgotten world (DS1 has this feeling as well). When every bossfight takes place inside a zBrush ArtStation setpiece it takes away some of the mystique and makes the game feel too Hollywood.
>>732235114Get creative. It is an RPG. Not Osu!
>>732232258I didn't say ER's combat was worse, I said specifically that ER bosses typically have less logical and natural attack timings. Do I think DS3 or ER has better combat? I'm not telling you, because you can't read and use light years as a hyperbolic adjective.>>732232375>gives you the least amount of buildsYes I said that.>throw-away areasEvery area in DS2 is a throw away area.>encouraging rollslopIt's the core combat mechanic of all of them except BB and Sekiro. It encourages your primary defensive manoeuvre? Unforgiveable.>>732232392Sekiro and Bloodborne incentivise boss rushing much more. DS2 is literally infamous for its ganks, the thing you claim DS3 is the worst game in the world for. You type like you're 13.>>732232442The only logical response to my post.
>>732235701>Sekiro and Bloodborne incentivise boss rushing much more.How so?
>>732235076I'm always impressed by how PvE players seems to forget spacing even exist.Spending your stamina on rolling/blocking doesn't make you closer to victory. Facetaking shit is braindead and boring.Meh, pointless discussion anyway, ER showed that FROM sided fully with casuals on PvP matters.
>>732209418 BASEDFUCKDS3 TRANNIES
>>732235360>if you die a few times that automatically means its too hard bro, even considering you are using a weapon the boss resistsYou dont need that much endurance to have an excellent and fair shield against radahn. Like you dont need to be literally unkillable with a fingerprint, theres some webms of people fighting radahn with the silly default knight sword-and-shield loadout and it works perfectly well if they have some high damage on the sword to back it up (ie: rot/frost/bleed swords)If anything i got my shit kicked in against radahn several times when trying to use fancy moves like black blade and destined death, but not only he resisted that, it was mechanically bad for the fight, these things are also frankly just plain bad. He was much easier once i started doing a few more pokes and switched to knights' lightning spear I cheat engined afterwards to respawn radahn so i could try it with my other builds with fire damage he didnt resist (fire knight ashes and fire gs+super buffed flame spear, and a super tanky build with black flame tornado) and he was a lot easier
Does Russian brony have any hobbies outside of baiting?
