the dark soul. now this is a game.
>>738218706What about playing it unpatched and being a ninja flipping Havel Dad with a Fire halberd that does at least 600 damage? The flip side is you only get 700(!) souls for killing the Bell Gargoyim and not 10,000
>>738218706>listening to anyone online tell you how to play said game
Sorry, but the cover uses a shield, so I'll be using a shield.
I've never used a tower shield but it really seems the way to go
>>738218706I have no clue what this means
If you don't start every DS1 run with grass crest shield, power within, FAP, and RTSR within 15 minutes you are casual
>>738218706wow you spent all this time for a thread that means nothing to anyone
>>738219027If you are not playing unpatched on PS3 original hardware, and not havel flipping metagaming you are not playing "dark souls".
Being told that using summons is easy mode really mindbroke these people, huh?
>>738218706Why would I play this when picrel is wayy better and is actually finnished???
>>738223654Who are the fallen? Why would anyone want to rule over people who fall
>>738224049It's a god who has FALLEN, and it's his LORDS that want to rule humanity.
>>738223654Is the 2023 version better than the original?
>>738218706I just use cheat engine right away and build a cool build to use all game :)
>>738224241The original is a 4/10, this is a 9/10, and I think its better than dark souls 1 franky. The world design is just as interconnected, but the overall hame is consistently high quality. They're playing with some really interesting ideas mechanically, like the umbral realm, wither damage, stat-based-lore and even stuff like an optional randomizer for your run, or pre,upgraded loot.
>>738218706>-50 izzatnot bad
>upgrades weapon to +3 or +4 before gargoylesphew, I'm safe.>kindling any bonfire>tfw i always kindle firelink to max because it just feels rightfuck...
>>738218706>izzatis some new zoom zoom buzzword
>>738218706I'm doing a playthrough of Dark Souls 2 and despite being level 85 right now it feels so shit to play.>every time I use my Heide Knight sword it hits either ground (yes ground, all the time) or walls>every place is full of le gank squads>this leads to the fact it's easier to grind and just eliminate everyone until they don't spawn>sometimes, despite standing next to a massive enemy my melee attacks will miss>sometimes, character does not turn >sometimes, despite not being in cooldown, character just doesn't fucking runI sort of like its levels and atmosphere and all that but it is so fucking bad to play. 75% of my deaths are because of insane shit like this.If I had the chance to travel to Japan, I would go there and kick Miyazaki's balls. He is one of the most overrated little shits in this industry.
>>738218706i don't listen to hip-hop so i don't know what you mean
>>738218706Do poojeets actually believe all of this?
>>738218706what about summoning a complete n00b who makes the boss fight 10 times harder? the next Souls game should have NPC summons that just completely suck.
>>738227448And to add: >and the endless off-screen projectile spamIt is as if, Miyazaki implemented all the worst game mechanics and call it a day.I'm sure he's a sadist in real life, he enjoys creating insufferable experiences to others. I just wish I had a flight ticket...
