What did FROM mean by this?
>boss, we already have the interconnected world mapped out, but we ran out of time and money to finish this huge area with nothing in it>what should we do?
>>738979476You know how the undead dragons have no ass? That's because they fell down into the pit.
>>738979476That's not true. There's also this slow, ugly piece of shit that looks like it's sliding around on a large greasy ballsack.
>>738979476That area is kinda ass
DS1 had Dragon assesDS2 had Dragon fartsWhat did DS3 have?
>>738979476I honestly would have preferred if that entire area had no enemiesThe ruins that come afterwards too, it would have been better without the fat statue nobody has ever been hit by, and just keep the cheese demons, those are cool
>>738981124DS3 is just ASS
>>738981124bad game design
>>738979476Aren't you forgetting the copy pasted bosses too?
dragon ass hell is kino you plebe
>>738981124it has Midir, the best dragon fight FS has ever done
You wouldn't impregnate a dragon.
It's not even the right fucking enemy. Lost Izalith is the domain of demons, the dragon asses are the back part of the undead dragons. Undead are Nito's realm, and dragons belong in the Valley of Drakes. Neither of these are demons.
>>738981124Dark Souls 3 had dragon diarrhea in the form of the level design.
>>738979476The dragon asses on day 1 with their insane agro range were unacceptable. I find it hard to believe someone at From sat down and played the game normally and thought>Yeah this is okay
>>738982819I hate to be cynical because I like FROM, but they thought they could get away with it because>last half of game nobody noticeAnd there's some truth to it because game completion %'s are never close to 100%
>>738979476>Giant flat Swamp with big slow enemies in it and some contraptions to activateThis is the From Software "We did not have any ideas or motivation for this part" staple>But it's lava, not a swampThe original concept was for Lost Izalith to be a swamp>>738981124Farron Keep is the direct equivalent of Lost Izalith in a game where the actual Lost Izalith is literally two zones away.>>738982006>Bloated health DPS check
>>738983497>The original concept was for Lost Izalith to be a swampThen why the fuck isn't it?
>>738983547It's just not.
>>738983547You wouldn't have the earth/wind/water/fire-theme for the end-dungeons then.
>>738984691Well blight town being so close didn't help (unless the idea is that some of the fauna comes directly from Izalith when it was still swampy)
>>738981124Dragon feet with parasites.
>>738981124Ancient Dragon is the only bad part about DS2, honestly. It's a blemish on an otherwise borderline perfect Soulslike. Shame. Even when you beat him it feels unsatisfying.
>>738987301>Ancient Dragon is the only bad part about DS2, honestly.Wrong fucker, the hundredth boss fight against a tall human with a sword is Dark Souls 2's worst aspect. I liked Ancient Dragon for being fuckhuge and something different.
>>738987373Every other boss fight is great fun and many are the best in the entire series. Alonne, Fume Knight and basically any DLC boss (yes, including the two dogs) but especially the Burnt Ivory King are all amazing.
>>738987569>Alonne, Fume Knight, Burnt Ivory KingEven if I like them on a technical level, they are not why I play Dark Souls. Artorias works because he's almost not even human anymore
>>738983497>Midir>DPS checkThat's not tru->bloated healthBop his nose, retard. He goes down really easily
>>738987642Even if you only like fighting against big monstrous enemies, DS2 has plenty of that too. DS2 has the most Dark Souls in your Soulslike, including ER which just uses a few models and reskins them.
>>738987982Well I like this freaky frog thing but Souls 2 fans tell me it sucks too.Covetous Demon doesn't stick around enough/isn't difficult enough for me to like him.
>>738987729You have pinned the tail on the donkey, you've hit the dragon in the face, It is a DPS check with bloated health. You do enough DPS to his face and he staggers, which lets you burn through the rest of his HP bar.Actually fighting the dragon normally without stagger ripostes is just a matter of eventually taking damage from braindead attack patterns and healing. They're not even that complicated, he just always does a few attacks and then repositions in a way that makes it kind of easy to hit his head I think. You will have to excuse my brevity in describing this impression of Midir, it has been nearly 10 fucking years, this is all I remember.Also any DaS3 dragon boss gets automatic minus points for not having tail-cutting even though there are weapons in the game that explicitly mentions that they have been cut from a dragon's tail (it's a random drop lmao). >>738988064It's honestly crazy that this boss in a completely slapdash game stitched together from unfinished and placeholder assets has more presence within his level, than any other non-DLC boss in DaS3, all of which have been haphazardly shuffled around in their box-like arenas like some kind of shell game.
>>738981124The Wyvren boss in Archdragon Peak?
>>738988064if you increased this boss speed by 1.5x it could pass as an elden ring boss
>>738981124cucking some guy and marrying his oneitis
>>738979476>years from now someone will invent a mod that randomizes enemy placement and when these guys show up it'll be really funny
>>738981049And the chaos spiders. I think they probably just ran out of budget for the bounding demons, and meant to make a new enemy but just used them. The version you fight in DaS2 with mouths probably meant to be the original bounding demon
Has any youtube loretards made up their headcannon as to why izalith has these dragon asses walking in lava
>>738990762Not a YouTube theory, but the hanging dragon in the Valley of the Drakes is self healing to a point where its ass regenerates, but because it's also dying, it rots off again and falls into Lost Izalith.
>Lost Izalith was meant to be a hot swampDo you think it would've been as strugglekino as Valley of Defilement?
>>738982819Fuck you. People like you are what ruined from software. That un-nerfed area was fun and the only really difficult part of the game.
>>738991086did you get that image from a parallel dimension?
>>738982006Fucking BASED
>>738991254Most of the beta work for DaS1 was never cleaned up, someone found all that shit and turned it into a mod
>>738987373All the best fights are giant dudes in armor. Monsters and non-humanoid bosses suck because reading their animations is inherently harder.
>>738991087/v/ is so contrarian that this motherfucker genuinely thinks lost izalith (pre patch especially) was a good part of the game
>>738991404>because reading their animations is inherently harder.Wow...... it's almost like..... they're unknowable monstrosities that need to be destroyed......
>>738979476Mulatto butts
>>738981124i 'member the first day "shockwaves" was posted...
>>738979476>Scalies only want one thing and it's disgusting
>>738987301Also shitty hitbox, stupid ideas like stone statues, worst roll
