aggot
that's not Dark Souls
>>737752224You guys want to see a webm of OP getting beaten by anons in pvp?
>>737752224I am OP and i cannot stop sucking dick.
>>737752224>butt fucking.
>>737752320yes!
>>737752327y
>>737752224That damage doesn't seem right.
>>737752327a
>>737752224Those games are boring as fuck. I tried DS1, DS3, Lies of P and BB and it was an absolute chore. Hilariously enough, a friend of mine streamed his runs on DS2 and 3, and watching it was absolutely boring.Why those games are so popular is beyond me
>>737752376Gotchu senpai
>>737752440Cissy normies wouldn't get it
>>737752440it's a white person thing
>>737752289Dark Souls 4
>>737752224I laughed at the end lolGood thread
>>737752224So glad this game isn't a souls game.
>>737752224people still die to this guy?after playing through the game like 10 times now he is actually really slow and easy to predict
Rolling is not your main move in these games, it is a last resort after you run out of stamina.Your build is not suited to a begginer, colossals are meant to be used with charged and jumping heavy attacks to make use of stance breaks.
I've jsut beaten lies of P. And desu, I believe I grow tired of rollslop/parryslop muh gigganigga one shot kill bosses games. It's been almost 20 years of this
>>737752529ER is far too dull a setting to be a DaS entry.
>>737752453>k***htWill never not be funny. Fuck bamco.
>>737752224this webm is a little weird, did margit get a haircut?
I don’t remember the boss doing that
>>737752529If only. Instead it's Dark Souls 2-2 with how much it leans into quantity over quality.
>>737752224>Boss is a lanky starving hobo with a toothpick>Boss attacks you with a slow ass dumbfuck attack that leaves his vitals open>You plunge your sword balls deep into his liver three fucking times and finishes inside with enough time for a smoke>Lmao nooooooo he ignores your attack and takes like 2 dmg haha>Boss finally swings down by the end of the week>You're already on the next estate when the swing comes >Shockwave hits you anyways for a gorillion damage >LmaoxdpreparetodieeeeThis visual combat design SUCKS
>>737752690Not bamco's fault that the west is overly sensitive
Why did souls sisters get filtered by the ring games this hard? They feel very similar I don't know what happened to them in the jump to make them this way.
>Sekiro is hard but f-
>>737752763It is for complying with this bullshit.
>>737752783The game is easy as a co-op (have friends) game and the co-op happens to also enrage the reds (lonely troons). Their issues aren't with the game but what the game's atmosphere did to their lives.
>>737752783It punishes bad habits from playing the previous games, more severely than older titles would
>>737752809That was so gentle. Thank you mister Balls.
>>737752224Souls likes are for every demographic.pic rel as you can see she likes souls games too
worst soulsborne because the open world is empty and incompatible with soulsborne combat design
>>737752809This is genuinely really funny, whoever programed that enemy has a great sense of humor.
>>737752930No, its the best one because the world is one giant souls level rather than sandbox, it is the ultimate exploration kino.
>>737752809Fucking hated those nigger spheres
Seriously though, what was the correct move here?
The hardest pill to swallow for Fromdrones is that the combat in these games is nothing special, so when you have 9+ titles in a row with fanbase that learns the tricks and knows how to abuse the janky Demon's Souls code from 2009, the devs will stretch the gameplay and combat to breaking point. Not by increasing complexity, but by cranking up the numbers to insane levels, having more ridiculous awkward combos, every enemy (even basic ones) having some sort of "gotcha" roll catch moves, every enemy having bloodborne crazy stunlock attack frenzy.It's absolutely insane that large enemy boss fights are still all about us stabbing their little toe while their big ass model clips through camera and is not even fully visible 99% of the time when Dragon's Dogma figured out climbing and fighting large enemies over 10 years ago.
>>737752930I'm glad the hardware limitations holding the old series to hallways got fixed if I'm being honest. Having the series return to the open world of the King's Field style games with Elden Ring was a positive.
>Fucking hated those nigger sph-ACK
>>737753062Cheeky ballz
>>737753059king's field was just rooms and corridors with soul fog
>>737752829They don't really care, they put in these lazy measures just to shut the insane westerners up
>>737753047The correct solution to this was not giving a fuck if people learn the game. Just release a well designed game first, fuck "challenge" people can just do challenge runs if they need to die 50 times or not have fun They did this just fine with DeS and DS1 and to an extent DS2
>>737753047For a basic character action game the combat is good. At least 10x the options of other character action games due to the infinite weapons and skills. There are like 7 evasion options in this game compared to the 1 or 2 in other games. The learning curve is a little extreme in this one.
>>737752224The Souls games used to be harder than your average game but things were kept a bit more grounded so it felt fair. Starting with DS2 and degenerating with every new game this consideration was thrown out of the window. From is now in the business of making action games for dummies so the difficulty is the only point that matters now. Now bosses flip around like retards, multiple phases are expected, and bosses delay attack animations so often it breaks immersion. A great example of something starting off as pure adventure kino that quickly turned into a parody of itself because the dev actually thinks they make the hardest video games ever.
>>737753130Still a shitty thing to do.
Those giant furnace golems in the dlc (shadow of the skibiditree) proved to me that Miyazaki doesn’t actually know what the fuck he is doing; the skibidi fragment system also sucks and I despise hp bloat
>>737753159The issue is that those infinite weapons do all the same thing: just deal some damage and at most apply some hitstun. There's no interesting effects or statuses applied on enemies.This combined with absurd shonen anime combos leads to the sad fact that 99% of weapons are useless outside challenge runs because now the only difference is damage numbers and animations. Animations during which you are fully vulnerable since Miyazaki to this day has PTSD from flipping Havels in DS1 so being grazed by a single pixel will stunlock your character now. What this means is only weapons with safe animations/range and good damage are ever really viable. The same applies to spells.There's simply not enough mechanics to warrant using other weapons. Hell, to this day bows are supplementary weapons at best and you will basically
>>737753423Not really an issue. You'll get better at the game with some practice.
>>737753223>the skibidi fragment system also sucksDoesn't the game have a level downscaler for pvp already? DS3 had one, they could've just use that if they were so worried about people playing the dlc over leveled
>>737753459Why should they have worried? It should have scaled with the base game. To play alongside it. The dlc itself is what is over levelled. Consort Radahn should have been at the same level as Malenia.
>>737753039Everyone tries to DPS race the mimic and wonders why they get grabbed, but if you literally just back off for two seconds you can kill them with zero issue.
>>737752924Girlfriend material
>>737752440It's masculinity posturing. "i have to beat the famously hard game, deal with all its annoying bullshit and pretend i liked it, and i can never criticize it or someone might call me a pussy".
>>737752809balls of steel
>>737753039>>737753578Pretty sure you could also put them to sleep first with Lloyd's Talismans if you needed to.
>>737753172No, starting with ds1. 2 is the most fair souls game. All it asks of you is to not be retarded and rush past enemies to iframe through fogwalls, but DS1 has literal trial and error gotcha death traps where you just instantly die with no chance of recourse because muh "prepare to die"
>>737752809>>737753062Ghost in the machine
>>737753047>just turn fights into quicktime events and retarded parkour puzzleshow about no and you just git gud instead of bitching about video games being too hawd on the internet?
>>737753557bamco believes that the IP's success is due to its difficultypeople stream rolling the dlc with lvl 300 characters is bad advertisement, or so they believe
>>737753635>dark souls>hardlawltry getting 99 mining in runescape
>>737752809>has muerto
>>737753578yeah but if you play the game for the first time, how are you supposed to know that it can grab you from behind with its broken hitbox?
>>737752675I played demons souls (ps3) the other day and really the games are at their best when you're just navigating through interesting environments avoiding traps and just smacking shit with a club. The boss fights are really becoming the least interesting things with this genre.
>>737753827you die to it oncewho cares dude
>>737752440>I tried DS1, DS3you people are so easily influencedDS2 is so good and you dumb cunts get memed into skipping it
>>737753808Haha yeah, Spanish exists!
>>737753917if ds2 had a 90 fov it would be perfect
>>737753687>error gotcha death traps where you just instantly dieI bet you can't name a single real example that isn't easily proven falseAnd don't say the hellkite bridge because you'd have to be a complete clueless retard to take a look at it and not suspect something is up
>>737753827Grabs have shonky hitboxes in literally every souls game, it's not exclusive to this one.And even if you do get hit by it and die to it, you know forever after that this will happen if you try that and thus it won't happen again.
>>737753958>"hmm that bridge looks suspicious">wait>nothing happens>wait>wait>wait>nothing happens>begin crossing>nothing happens>continue crossing>die because you didn't sprint past the enemies to the stairwell that was hidden behind the ramparts
>>737754043No, none of the other games are as bad as DS2.
>>737753635Sad but true. It became a noticeable problem when the obvious rpg inspired options casuals would come up with to clear the content the challenge runner is stuck on causes seethe.
>>737753958You can suspect what you want, it's a cheap shot. You either try to take the slow approach, and get toasted, or try to run to the other side, and get toasted.Doubt many people would go straight for the stairs.
>>737753917i got bored and dropped it at lost bastille, realizing the game was never going to speed up or get interesting
>>737752783Who got filtered? ER is easy as piss with all the overpowered bullshit you can do.
>>737753958Seath steals all your souls the first time you meet him
>>737753958>Seathe >dog alleyAnd there's not a single example of DS2 either being muh prepare to die unfair bullshit either but i'm supposed to believe that game is meme difficult all because some add retard is impatient and wanted to run through a level and couldn't escape by iframing through fogwalls? Most absolute fraud retard fanbase there is is ds1 fans.
>>737754090Every souls player learns at some point in their journey that you stay well away when grabs are at play, and yes, it applies to every game in the series.
>>737754216I see this guy hasn't mastered the art of save quitting yet.
>>737754073>"Hmm this bridge looks suspicious">"I better drink an Estus so I'm prepared">"Oh, that dragon flamed my ass, but I was on full health so it didn't kill me and I was able to quickly dash to the stairwell>"Good thing I wasn't a retard and healed myself before entering a suspicious area"
>>737753917It's worse than every other fromsoft game by a lot.
>>737754186Tons of people got filtered in a million ways. Some couldn't handle the new combat options, some couldn't handle the open world and its options, some couldn't into the story so they couldn't roleplay in the roleplaying game, some couldn't get into the lore so they couldn't orb ponder with everyone else. It was bad at there for the low functioning autistics.
>DS2fag mad he got into the series with the worst game and not Demon Souls or Dark Souls 1so sad
>>737753856The strength of early souls was always the careful and deliberate level design that made you immerse in the world in order to properly traverse it. Then DS3 came along with its linear world and dogshit areas flooded with enemies that you HAVE to run through if you want to enjoy the game and the series turned into boss rush slop for normalfags.
>>737754319>look at all these strawmen I made!ER had significantly more players beat it than any other fromsoft game.
>>737754362It was a massive success of course it did. I'm talking to anon about the souls sisters that got filtered. Elden Ring felt like it was intentionally designed to mess with them.
>>737753958Most of the death traps are implemented so cheekily it baffles me that people are upset by them. Like that fucking kicking skeleton in the Tomb of the Giants.
>>737754280>dishonest reply based on optimal play informed by hindsight and vitalitymaxxingok
>>737754319>roleplaying gameI have yet to see a retard trying to roleplay in a fucking souls game.Maybe they could roleplay as a laddle wielding clown.
>>737754334I started with 1, and I would say 2 is better than 3.Only played SotFS though, so maybe the original 2 was more broken.
>>737754439I roleplay as a guy who loves to have his head caved in
>>737754447It was but I think it was better overall still. I don't like some of the changes Scholar implemented.
>>737754427>I'm talking about these strawmen that I madelollmao even
>>737754206>>737754216You can leave Seath's boss room the way you came in. Then once you've figured that's the only way to progress you can equip a RoS.
>>737754439Everyone roleplays in these games. Casuals can simply be knight man and have a fun rp experience, its the souls sisters that couldn't into the aforementioned and it ruined their rp potential and they hate the game a result. >>737754509Its fine if it doesn't apply to you in particular you didn't have to choose to self insert as the souls sister I'm mentioning.
>>737754430If you really consider investing points into health, and keeping you health high, in an RPG "optimal play", you're clearly bad at RPGs, or just games in general
>>737754541It's the definition of a gotcha death trap, which is what that anon wanted an example of. That's the only time in the game you can leave through fog, so most wouldn't ever even try to leave.
>>737754569>you can roleplay as a mute puppetPeak roleplaying potential.
>>737753039You just have to know(tm), just like how enemies can melee you through thin walls in every Souls game from DeS to Elden Ring. The games barely function but I guess that's part of the appeal, much like old Bethesda games.
>>737754430I've never seen anyone die from full health on the bridge unless naked or getting hit multiple times due to heavy armor.
>>737754569Your souls sisters are imaginary. You made them up for some retarded reason.
Wow, amazing how DS1 totally isn't this unfair bullshit prepare to die meme game (as advertised lol) if you just apply generous fanboy hindsight retrospective logic to virtually every bullshit encounter and situation in the game; but amazingly it's DS2 that's the unfair one because, you know, if you run past enemies sometimes they gank up on you and you cant iframe through the fogwalls. WOW
>>737753958That bridge is a cheeky gotcha while being a nod to demon's souls 1-2 without the warning Ostrava gives and you have to be in denial to say otherwise, and to avoid it you have to be sprinting from the start fully aware that it's coming and even then you'll barely make it. On the flipside the fire is not meant to kill you even at base level unless you're low on health.
>>737754638It's a boss you physically can't reach with melee attacks, can't damage even if your attacks connect and doesn't move. It didn't occur to me either but that doesn't change the fact that you can just walk right out the way you came in, ergo it literally isn't a deathtrap.
>>737754715>walk through boss fog>there's a boss
>>737754715They literally patched this fight to make it easier. No hindsight necessary, they agreed it was unfair on launch and changed it.
>>737754715>boss jumps>tracks mid-airngl this is kinda excusable for DSP. Funnily enough still a thing in every Souls game.
>>737754682Nah they are a thing but they are dying out. There used to be a dark souls general on /vg/ for them and everything. A lot of gripes about Elden Ring are sourced from people who have 9001 hours in the souls games and don't like how Elden Ring is different in x way. Its a list of filters for a specific group and they make infinite threads crying about it. It isn't a big deal in the long run, as others have pointed out the game was a huge success for everyone that isn't them.
>>737754797Keep making up those imaginary friends anon. I'm sure it's very healthy.
>>737754870>Its fine if it doesn't apply to you in particular you didn't have to choose to self insert as the souls sister I'm mentioning.
>>737752224i beat him the other day at sl1 no upgrades, git gudelden ring ruined the average skill of the playerbase. it was nice seeing pekora smash malenia but for fuck sake git gud people.>please wait 60 seconds so we can trace your network connectionyou now owe me 50 bucks. for wasting my time.
>>737753039Not playing DS2
>>737754907Yes I read your nonsense earlier. They're still strawmen.
>>737754608increasing HP is obviously never a bad idea but the fact that the standard souls advice is to get vitality to 25 before anything else means it's pretty shit design which this encounter doubles down onobligate choices aren't real choices
>>737752224First tried every boss in this sloppa btw
>>737755036That you keep getting personally offended at for some reason. Maybe they aren't strawmen...
>>737752224Reminds me of this.
DS2 was the last From title of novelty.Bloodborne onward is McDonalds.
>>737753578>NOOOOOO!!!! I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO BEAT EVERY ENEMY IN THE GAME BY MASHING MY ATTACK BUTTONS FAST ENOUGH!!!! TIMING AND POSITIONING SHOULDNT MATTER NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
>>737755124>Let me show you something new.What game is this? The first two are Persona 5 and Xenoblade.
>>737753047>The hardest pill to swallow for Fromdrones is that the combat in these games is nothing specialtrue from soft games get hard carried by their environments and lore
>>737752924Strong 00s vibes
>>737752224It usually is. Morgott/Margit just happens to be a bullshit input reading asshole with zero openings. He was the worst boss in Elden Ring before Putrescent Knight. Prometheus (AI Limit) takes everything that made Morgott cancer and turns it up to eleven
>>737755284We got quite a few in a thread once, but I don't remember. There are more during other attacks, of course.
>>737755124lol>>737755284>What game is this? have you been living under a rock?
>>737753827You learn, retard.
>>737753687There is nothing wrong with a little bit of trial and error in a game.
>>737755527He's talking about the "Let me show you something new." line. That guy uses lines from different games when he attacks.
>>737753827The same way you're not supposed to know mimics exist the first time you play: you die and learn.If you looked at guides or online messages, you cheated.>muh inverted chainNOBODY noticed that before knowing mimics existed.
>>737752924>19>680 games
When does Dark Souls 3 get good...? I've just beaten the shrine of the deep and am bored shitless. I haven't been impressed with any of the zones so far and the only bosses I've enjoyed was the tutorial guy.
>>737752924Honest question, what are girls like this actually like to date? Are they ever actually good at vidya? Is their confidence only as thick as their cosplay and makeup? Are they actually ride or die for their loving and affectionate boyfriend?
>>737756429Second half is better than the first, but it's not great.
The only segments of DS2 that I dislike are the Shrine of Amana, the Frozen Outskirts, and the Sunken Crown Labyrinth
>>737752224From Software really need to add the parry system from Sekiro into Elden Ring 2. I want more gameplay diversity.
>>737756429It doesn't. Game is trash but normalfags hype it as one of the greats purely because of Nameless King
>>737755972You can see and hear them breathe
>>737754797what a bunch of sissies these guys are.you are a snitch tho... a sissy snitch
>>737756774I don't give a fuck about parries, i'm more infinitely mad how much better archery Nightreign got in comparison to Elden Ring.
>>737755972Imagine being this mad that other people didn't fall for the gotchas you fell for because they were better prepared.
>>737756990>i'm more infinitely mad how much better archery Nightreign got in comparison to Elden Ring.Yea that as well, Nightreign as base for Elden Ring 2 would be amazing, the movement system, and no horse.
>>737756990I are planning on boughtening Nightrain. Do you recommend this installment for a hardcore solo player?
>>737753635Projecting.You get your own ego wrapped up in gaming, so you assume everybody else does too. Nobody is going to play a game they hate for 100 hours just to lie to you about liking it.Matter of fact, I could see you're doing "masculinity posturing" right now because you're obviously obsessive about counteracting accusations against you being a pussy.>"I like Dark Souls!">"WHAT, SO YOU'RE TRYING TO INSULT ME SMALL COCK, HUH?!?! IS THAT IT?!?! YOU DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE THAT GAME, DO YOU?!"Transparent. Not everything is about you and your small cock. You're allowed to just not like the game, but *you* are the one making it into some ridiculous ego contest because of your own insecurities, not anyone else.
>>737756515nobody here has a clue bro
Hard, but fai-
>>737756429when you stop dilating it gets good
>>737757414>Unique enemies with strengths and weaknesses>Arena has depth to use jumping attacks for high damage>Rewards movement and spacing>Can isolate enemies>Creative strategies. Lure enemies into pools of water and use lightning attacks for MASSIVE damage. But be careful about impeding your movement too.Then you play ER and it's just two or three identical guys in a square flat box
>>737757549Fake fucking news.
>>737752440Dark Souls is a pretty great ARPG and a fantastic open world, Demon's Souls is great too. Everything else is shit and trying to ride the retards who found these games hard, no point getting invested into it now.
>>737757858
>>737752487>low T nerds think playing grimdark grind games makes them alpha
>Show a janky grab getting the player killed>DS2 fag goes hurr durr just back off and it's easy to kill>Point out that it's the bad hitbox that's the issue here>DS2 fag disingenuously claims that DS2's hitboxes are on the same level as the other games using cherrypicked webms instead of easily reproducible DS2 jank
>>737753062>survives 100 foot drop>then dies by 'le spiky things' fucking cringe man
Why are women smarter than men in this universe? Why are all the spells and weapons that require the most intelligence exclusively used by women?
WOW, what was I supposed to do here???
>>737752376>orange lardass : OP>based carpenter : me
>>737758326Men are strengthchads. Women cannot emulate their advantage in strength and equip load so they use sissy gay builds like dex and bludex
>>737758364>>737758389This is a bug, right?
>>737758732Women are stronger than men pound for pound though? A woman 1/10 Radahn’s size could contest him in combat.
>>737752440They're good but Elden Ring really wore it into the ground. Wanted to like it but every boss was just an exhausting game of rote memorisation of 10 move attack chains with a one attack opening. By the boss rush near the end I was so fucking bored which was a shame as the end bosses are the better ones.
this game is dildosthis game is for niggersi blame all the min max caster faggots with their 20 buff one shot spells for this shit
>>737759008Literally untrue pussyslave. men and women have Iframes which bosses do not possess and that is how they achieve their victories, not by strength
>>737758853The Malekith one is just funny. Effectively, the game spawned him in a static location after the cutscene, and that location just happened to be the exact one the spell cast before phase transition was located. So he got hit frame 0 by a spell.
>>737752224Elden Shit is fucking trash lmao.
>>737758390I watch these webms and wonder why people tried to shill this game
>>7377565151. Theres a 67% chance thats not a real girl2. Who knows, theres all kinds. Its a gamble.
>>737753687I'm a fan of ds2 and am sick of the fellating of 1 as much as anybody else, but there was a drake that literally did this shit in the entirety of a DeS world from chapter 1-1 to 1-4 or whatever. DeS is very much unforgiving with its bullshit, 1 tones it down, 2 is significantly more forgiving but forces you to slaughter the army in front of you a la KF/DeS.
>>737752224Genuine skill issue
>>737759843I mean that just sounds like a very specific bug, but a bug all the same.
>>737759097Elden ring is the only good one though
>>737760259Is it a bug when it's merely an unintended effect of game mechanics working as they should? Smough leaving a lingering damage field when he charges is a bug, this was an unfortunate concatenation of events
>>737758364>>737758389The absolute most NIGGEREST thing about ER is the mid-battle cutscenes where the boss get to power up for free and it then spawns me somewhere else
>>737760654>Is it a bug when it's merely an unintended effect of game mechanics working as they should?Yes, it's effectively an example of an edge-case bug. All the pieces are technically working as intended but under specific circumstances those systems create a defective scenario. All the places I've tested for would bug it, anyway.
>>737756429when you uninstall it and buy dark souls 2 scholar of the first sin
>>737752224skill issue
>>737756429DaS3 was the first game for many zoomers. It simply doesn't get better, it's a linear rollslop until the end.
>>737752224It's the opposite, all souls game are easy to normal difficulty-wise but incredibly unfair to new players, giving the illusion of a hard game
>>737758390Every few months I get the desire to play Souls, play intensely for a few days, then come off it for months. I think I like the idea of the games much more than the games themselves. Elden ring has some overpowered bosses, but generally, I find its the mob inflation that lets the games down: Taurus Demon was a spectacle. Getting ganked by half a dozen was terrible. You can't actually play half of each game. You've got to use cheese strats, builds, or just run through and skip half the area. They'd be better cutting sections out than overloading them with mobs.
>>737752529You mean, Demon's Souls 7

>>737758212Ds2 fanboys are some of the most cancerous niggers I’ve ever seen. I don’t hate Ds2 and I’ll admit to the games various redeeming aspects but the people who love this game are something else.They spend all their time trying to disingenuously defend 2’s flaws and almost never speak of the good parts and they have an enormous inferiority complex over their game being “the weakest one” and have to interrupt random from threads to shit on all the other games, not even DS3, they regularly shittalk every single form game outside of sekiro and demon’s souls. I don’t think anyone hates from games as much as people like the webm spamming schizo does.

>>737762403that's why the early games were the best. Because they focused on pacing and atmosphere rather than streamerbait boss rush bullshit. Ds3, elden ring, etc are fucking dogshit.
>>737765315It's always been an issue with them to some degree. Ringing the bells is one of the best journeys in gaming, but after that it peters out. New Londo Ruins is terrible. Anor Londo overrated. And it doesn't get any better. With Elden Ring I felt it had a good pace until you beat Morgott then it starts to unwind.
>>737764692>>737765050>>737765115skill issue
>>737765315ds2 lore bosses stay winning
>>737752224How do you roll around with a sword like that and what do they eat
>>737752224out fucking played
>>737752224>haha bet you didn't see that coming! the game
>>737752924Can't tell if real girl or the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.
morgot is a horrible first "real" boss, he is one of the most punishing bosses that blocks usual souls strategies, so it just teaches new players to cheat, either by overleveling or using summon
>>737754715There's nothing he could do
>>737755124Holy shit that looks terrible. You just sit there watching the boss dick around for hours and can't do anything
>>737758309SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER
>>737753687The bridge is literally environmental storytelling. The game even FORCES you to see there's still a drake in the loose by making it fly across your screen. Then you come across a burnt out bridge.
>>737752523Im latino and love miyazaki’s games
>>737758390MIYAZAKI, LOOK AT THE SCREENLOOK AT THE SCREEN, MIYAZAKIPLEASE
>parryslop
>>737768162Yes, it's a joke mini-game in a meme optional region added as a free DLC.
>>737758390>why is the final boss of a postgame DLC hard??? it should be like the first boss of a fifteen year old game instead, now that was a gripping challenge for a seasoned gamer like mewhy is /v/ like this?
>>737752224Did Elden Ring become like a parody of the Souls-like or something? Every time I see webms of it it really strikes me as this absurd game that From decided to make super ridiculous on purpose almost to make fun of their very own selves with the style of games they were making up until now.
Getting every single armour piece and every weapon possible in DS2 without using CE is still the biggest fucking cancer ever made. I still haven't done it.And I did it just fine for elden ring, there were a few low drop rates sure, but at least the enemies were ok to farm.Fuck ds2!!!!!(still gonna play it)
>>737771249I don't get why you would feel compelled to do so, even if DS2 armor is cool as fuck
>>737771061it really is just tuned to be that fucking retardedbut then they also put in shit like the mimic tear so normies and streamers can beat it
>>737752453>k***htWhat the fuck? They had this shit since Dark Souls if not longer. Why didn't they do anything about it?
>>737771363I like haven't the collections. Then i can fashion souls forever.
>>737771582they finally whitelisted knight on playstation only
>>737771582>>737771660Just get around it by using capital letters (at least that worked in DS3).I had a character for invasions called "NIGGERS" with Lap Armour for maximum le edgyIn dark souls 3 i had a character called
>>737752224Nice mod
>>737758332kek I had this happen to me a few days ago but I actually was able to survive it
>>737771389It had to be on purpose. Like an inside joke. Everything about that game is like a massive inside joke after all these years of people making hours long lore essay videos and how the community has treated these games like these super skillful games. They also treated the pvp aspect almost like its an esport at times. So From took note of all of this and made Elden Ring into a parody of all of these aspects of the community and made one super ridiculous game for them to eat up. And it clearly fucking worked since Elden Ring is their top selling game of all time.
>>737773143well its their most sold game almost entirely because of open world slop and R.R.martin writing a few item descriptions or something
>>737763776no, it's king's field 69
>>737773143Elden Ring is their worst game to date, and yet normies who don't know any better just lap it up.
>>737752440It's literally a brown person thing. Fromslop is made for brown people and indians especially.
>>737765109looks like lords of the fallen 2023
>>737771843>In dark souls 3 i had a character calleda-anon?!
>>737753687>2 is the most fairYeah, nah. And here's the thing; death in these games is a guide and a tool, it's like acting indignant that you have to die in the first Seath encounter. These games WILL kill the impatient and reckless, but you rarely lose much but your souls which you should be using as you go anyway. Another reason to be annoyed with 2 is that besides learning what might happen, it really likes to treat death as a punishment thanks to the gradually diminishing health cap to a point.
I’ve never played Dark Souls 3Played all their other games
>>737775773launch ds3 was the biggest disappointment of my lifea raw longsword was more useful than heavy or keen at 40str/40 dex fucking bullshitsomehow worse scaling than fucking bloodborne with no blood gems
>>737775861I hate how they gave pyromancies stat requirements.
>>737752453DRAGORNIAN
>>737775968pyro will always pay the price for being statless in DS1
>>737775968That's ds2's fault
>>737775674Diminished HP reflecting hollowing sounds completely fair to me. It's combining lore and gameplay.
>>737752529youre not even wrong but everyone gets mad whenever i say this. it really is just open world dark souls with names and concepts slightly changed.
WOW
>>737752224Its kind of funny how the devs baited so many normies into a fight they weren't prepared for. Launch month was very fun to co-op in.
>>737752224
>>737752224>trying to fight a lvl 50 boss at lvl 20
>>737752224Dark Souls is hard but fairElden Ring is easy but unfair
I fight margaret right away with the lordsworn gs, jellyfish, and magic man
>>737775674>it really likes to treat death as a punishment thanks to the gradually diminishing health cap to a point.it's okay when demon's souls and dark souls 3 cut off 50% and 30% of your max HP for dying once, but not okay when dark souls 2 takes 5%
>>737775313Lmao yeh my bad, just formatting
>>737776682Wholesome
>>737776682Minmaxing is cringe, any fag can do thatBeat him with a faith build or a lava mage, or a meteor spell only build, then I'll be impressed
>>737752224>ds3 be like
>>737776639Damn. That's actually quite succinctly put. And true.
>>737752224is that an edited webm?Or is that floating in the air bullshit at the end actually how it is in game?I haven't even played ER but I like to joke that souls games make their patterns "difficult" by fucking with the timings of attacks so they don't look intuitive to dodge with your eyes/reflexes, but this is taking it to an absurd level if real
>>737776601>lvl 50 bossIt's literally the fist boss and with roger is doable on any lvl.>>737777052It's a bug.
>>737753917if DS2 had good controls, good mechanics, good graphics, good bosses and good areas and good lore it wouldve been good
OH N
>>737777247>good loreoh yes miyahacki games are much better in that regard with zanzibart shit and a few item descriptions instead of any exposition at all
>>737777241You aren't supposed to fight him right out the gate, that's where most newbs get stuck, the caves around limgrave are meant to be done first, beastman of forum azusa, the stone cat thing in the crypt, dragon agheel, bloodhound knight etc are all bosses that should be done before margit
>>737777401I stone cat thing was way harder for me, but I was using a flail so...
>>737777317plot is for books
Tanimura needs to be hacked to death in front of his entire family.DS2 is still the most replayable souls game however.
>>737777247So by your metrics DS2 is in fact a good game.
>>737777585>t. Didn't read a single item description
>>737777401>You aren't supposed to fight him right out the gate, that's where most newbs get stuckI kind of get it, to be honest. Newbies come into the game hearing about how hard it is and think that it's safest to just follow the given path which leads them straight to Margit. Meanwhile veterans who're confident enough to go off in a different direction will overlevel him. It seems a bit backwards.
>>737755428Prometheus is bullshit, but he does not have the Margit's/Morgott's thing of extending his combos based on players position. He just has a SHITLOAD of different combos. Imagine if he switched weapons mid combo if you tried to parry him or something, now that would be insane cancer.
>>737777241>summoning
>>737777792>start the game>go south>find a dragon>wtf>find a chest>gets teleported to the crystal mines>shrimp guy one shots youlol
>>737757414>Run in circles and spam black fog
>>737778110This actually did happen to me but I found my way out of the mines. Hard way to learn you can't warp out from most indoor areas
>>737757414I just jumped to the lower level and both melee took their sweet time getting back up which allowed me to demolish the archer
>>737776112And it's the best game ever made
>>737778360I just ran. Running away surprisingly works too well in this game, just like you can just ignore the barricades and go kill Margit.
>>737758390>"A shield?">"But I'm sure to win due to my superior speed"
>>737778458>Try to hit archer with my big heavy greathammer>He flips and weaves like a ninja.>Havel and Alva eventually catch back up and gank me to deathHonestly it was a fun and funny fight for sure
>>737777627yes, i suppose it would be good, but i'd say that it lacks good controls, good mechanics, good graphics, good bosses and good areas and good lore, so.
>>737777317yeah man ds2 is definitely not zanzibartian at all
>>737778539yeah it is good. dont disagree, but it is quite derivative of their narrative and aesthetic tropes. it makes the game lack a lot of identity in my book.
>>737758169>Dual handing banished k***ht greatswords dosent give you his movesetI'll never not be mad.
>>737752224>No guiz the game is actually super hard as long as you don't level yourself, only use one of the approved weapons (the ones I like), don't use in-game mechanics that are there to help, and follow my 27 other arbitrary rules.
>>737780189lmao in your book? you rode a book lmao tell us about it, is it about Elden Ring???
>>737757414The real cancer was running through like 6 poisoned sanctum knights, 50 petrify statues, and then finding the hole that leads to 10 more sanctum knights in a tight hallway every time you had to run back to these guys.
>>737752224Dark Souls was never hard but fair. It's actually almost the exact opposite. It's an easy game but made difficult by stuffing it full of unfair things.
>>73775368799% of /v/ didn't play dark souls 1.0 where the red drake torches you as soon as you step on the bridge without a single warning
>zero ds2 webm ittit's true then
>>737752809>Vial de lagrimas carmesiMan, I can't read that but it sounds cool as fuck. English can't compete.
>>737784930Borges would disagree. im euro and used to be disgusted by english, but he kinda has a point that english fucking mogshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJYoqCDKoT4
>>737771582piggu american deserves suffer
>>737753856Exploration has always been the best part of Souls games by far. Bosses are just annoying obstacles to exploring the next area
>>737752423its probably ng+5 or higher
>>737771660But playstation users already have the N-word pass by default
>>737757549I swear this looks very similar in layout to the area right before Mohg where you fight Varre.>>737754652My biggest gripe about From's games is that some hacker can spam endless magic, effects, spawn enemies, crash your game, and even corrupt your save file (while auto-unlocking every single cheevo). How abyssmally shit is their multiplayer code to even allow such a thing?
>>737758309
>>737758853It's a direct result of From being far too retarded to purge projectiles upon cutscene transitions.
>>737777627DS2 is shit. Massive downgrade in control, with square dead zones and then snaps to cardinal points. That alone would make it the worst entry, but that is far from its only problem.
>>737752224-un
>>737753917
>>737785927Square deadzones is better for quick, responsive movement. This is why any pro controller software lets you choose either circular or square. Unless it's an fps you dont need to make micro adjustments of 36 or 37 degrees angle movements.
>>737776189KWAB
Why are these webms so funnyIs the game actually that goofy I’ve never once played souls
>>737757329Everyone has seen how Souls fans act on the internet. You don't need to pretend. "Git gud" is how they respond to all criticism. It's ego masturbation.
>>737754307In a world where Demons's Souls and Dark Souls 3 exist this statement will never be true.
>>737786529Souls webms are always funny
>>737786529you like this shit you sick fuck
>>737760272>b-but muh contrarian opinionKys
>>737773143Oh come off it dudeFrom made the game this way because thats what it looks like people enjoyed about the previous games, so they cater to the perceived audienceIts really not that complicated
>>737776793DS3 treats that 30% like a bonus rather than a penalty. And frankly the further you get the more things got retarded anyway. No one's saying Demon's Souls was good for it either.
>>737786529The OP one is modded to make fun of people complaining about attack delays in enemy AI being egregious and unfairSouls games do have their own beloved version of Bethesda-jenk though which is definitely good funCase in point>>737786957>>737786975>>737786998>>737787069>>737787098>>737787127
>>737787162He got the ring before he was teleported into the lava.Thus, this is clearly a skill issue on the players part.
>>737753062>that sudden stopholy shit kek
>>737786857First time I’ve audibly lol’d
>>737786857>>737786857Are players ACTUALLY this STUPID?? Do they just NOT remember what an elevator looks like?? They don’t remember there NOT being a door there???
>>737787593Yes
>>737786857Staged as fuck, or in /v/ terms, fake and gay
>>737787264Is it really beloved? Surely the games would just be 100% better off without some of the jank, like enemies clipping through walls
>>737786592Sometimes, people call you fat because you actually are fat. Again, just because you're a paranoid wreck doesn't mean everyone is trying to trick you because they're motivated by weirdo insecurities. You're projecting because that's how *you* act.Shit, I'm not telling you to git gud, but if I did it would be to deliberately piss you off because it's obvious you're an insecure baby with sour grapes. Not because I'm "masturbating my ego," but because you're an annoying faggot and I want to make you mad.
>>737765105>y'allMark of the beast.
>>737752924Thats a man anon
>rolling isn't to put distance between yourself and your opponent>it's actually to phase you out of existence for a moment>nowhere is this conveyed to the playerThis always bothered me.
>>737787669Nah your stoopid
>>737752440It's for dad gamers. Boring slop for dad gamers
I dunno how people had such trouble with Margit. He's only killed me once during my lvl 1 playthrough.
>>737788062there was a webm on /k/ with a guy rolling on the ground as someone tried to shoot him at close range and missing every shot. i thought i saved it but i can't find it.
>>737753783You mean the game that requires literally zero skill and is just a blatant time sink?
>>737788062>the entire game is designed with you knowing this>nowhere in the game is this taught to the player>it is contrary to how logic would dictate it to work this way
>>737787865I've beaten Souls 3 before, and a couple other Soulslikes. Didn't really enjoy them much. I genuinely see a lot of it as anti-fun game design. The soulslike combat elements are usually the worst part of soulslike games for me.But your style of posting is exactly what I'm talking about with the performative masculinity posturing, throwing insults at people because you're seething that someone doesn't think your sacred cow game is perfect. It gets held up as being the ultimate hard game and a sort of rite of passage of being a true gamer. Normie gamers and reviewers, for the most part, are not going to admit if they don't like the experience. They should be allowed to even express that they dislike the difficulty or that it's heavy on trial and error. But they would never say that. They'll say they love it even if they disliked a lot of it. It becomes more about the social credibility than the game itself.
>>737789337Okay, but you're just going to have to cope with the fact that some people feel differently than you and stop taking everything so goddamn personally.Some normies like bragging about the game because it gives them e-cred, but some people also like the games. They're popular for a reason.Suck it up. You're not the center of the universe.
>2026>Still bitching about Margithttps://jumpshare.com/s/rNhfsEuucTi53ta4R1iX
>>737786592>"Git gud" is how they respond to all criticism.As they should, because your "criticism" is just whining about being a lazy retard
>>737787843I belove it
>>737754665first time i barely survived, healed and started looting - that was lethal.
>>737753423>>737753047I grew up playing PS2 beat 'em ups where light-heavy or heavy-light attack chains were the name of the game, and I'd rather stick with Fromsoft combat for another decade than go back.
All I'm saying is , if you haven't legit finished all the dark souls games yet then you can't call yourself a gamer and therefore you can not associate with me. Thank you very much.
>>737789337You sound like a whiny faggot.>they should be allowed to even express that they dislike the difficulty or that its heavy on trial and errorYou are lying here, they are allowed to express that lmao, thats why all the gaming journos bitched about these games needing an easy mode. Dark Souls 1 doesnt handhold you, doesnt care if you die dozens of times to a random boss, it demands you adapt to the mechanics and world, instead of the game making sure you keep playing with gorillion tutorials and advices if you are stuck for a nanosecond. Thats the difficulty of these games kek. The trial and error shit is simply not true, git gud mentality is initially needed to properly criticize these games, so the player achieves a certain level of skill, simple as that.
>>737786000You know that Demon's Souls had a death counter build into the Nexus? Stop watching retarded Irishmen on Youtube.
>>737754665Yeah, thats why he was 100 hp on the webm. Remember, webm posters are dishonest, subhuman mongoloids.
>>737756990Magic an archery both were heavily improved by Nightreign and I hope and pray it is the basis for whatever Dark Souls 6 will be.
I just wish the next Souls game goes back to dungeon crawling and dangerous expeditions, not more open world slop and bosses that play like they wanna be in Bayonetta.
>>737756774>From Software really need to add the parry system from Sekiro into Elden Ring 2. I want more gameplay diversity.I've seen in real time how sekiro parries ruined Nioh 3, so no I don't want that
Moar
MOAR
Bumping for more funny webms
>>737793593The best part about that ordeal is that the irishman in question didn't even like DaS and wish it wasn't made. He was a DeS truther and hated that the game was being rehashed to be DaS for a wider audience.
>>737758169that dude is a badass, if you trifle with him he will wreck your shit. well deserved fate.
>>737796858he was the only memorable thing about the slop content post-capital.
>>737780101He isn't Gwyn 2. He's actually the Chosen Undead 2
>>737785927>>737786152The issue isn't the deadzone, it is the huge directional lock that basically only gives you 8 directional movemen.
>>737752440Interesting, have you tried just engaging with and talking about stuff you like instead?
>>737788425He has some simple but effective range based chains that punish ungabunga and reckless sipping, that's it.99% of the people who play Souls are sword and board or two-handing cavemen who either lazily park themselves in front of something and mash R1 or try to fish free hits from behind and Margit is designed to not allow that sort of stuff.
>>737797583There's no issue. You move in Quake with 8 directional movements and no one thinks you cant move well in that game. And when you tilt the stick to the edge you have 360 degree movement so it's a moot point anyway.
>>737752627>guy I’ve beaten 10 times now is actually easyWow what a riveting statement that serves no purpose.
>>737787069This one got me.
>>737797958so all the animations being weightless is a pro?
>>737787354The fucked up physics of DS1 is its most dangerous aspect.
>>737752809>ayo lil niqqa thank he slick>*prod*>Bye bitch!
>>737798069You can have your weighty slop in RE 4 remake if you want so bad. Or you can decide if you actually want fast responsive controls that let you switch directions on a dime. Moving the character isn't supposed to be "weighty" what's important is that the weapons feel weighty and have inertia and different handling. But then you retards just flip flop whether you want the game to be weighty or not on a whim so then being able to spin around like an inflatable tube man while mashing R1 is acutally le good controls!
>>737797958Quake is a dead game from 1834.
>>737753731The tracking balls are mimics
>>737758390This is like mugen when people make characters that just nuke the screen non stop
>>737752809This is not Sekiro.
>>737798408LMAO!
>>7377530391. Hit the mimic and back off. Their initial attack's hitbox is a sphere around them, so just wait until it's done, then finish it off.2. Throw a Lloyd's Talisman and take the item, then walk away.
>>737755428Holy shit why is /v/ so bad at games?Margit and Morgot have tons of openings big enough for nearly any attack you wanna do. And avoiding his combos is really not very hard at all if you learn to try stuff other than “mash roll backwards in response to seeing his arm move”, you can strafe a bunch of the attacks by just walking around him, you can jump the tail spin, and the attacks you do need to roll are designed to be rolled in specific directions. It’s specifically designed to catch you for just panicking and rolling backwards without any thought put into timing or direction.I Fromsoft fans claim they like difficulty and complex enemies, but they only like it when it’s something they saw other people struggle with, but had 0 problems themselves. When it’s their turn they refuse to accept that beating previous game didn’t automatically make you a master of new, and immediately blame the design for being objectively shit.
>>737752224the delay is on the wrong attack. bugged game mechanics
>>737762403>, I find its the mob inflation that lets the games down: Taurus Demon was a spectacle. Getting ganked by half a dozen was terrible. I loved that part in DS, you can bait one or two out at a time easy, rush straight through, or even just aggro a bunch and barely make it through.New enemies are way too overtuned to do that properly in the new games.
