Still the only good dragon boss in FromSoft games
Bullet sponge: the boss
>>740957347>dragon>doesnt fight like a dragonits just another normal boss, but with 4 legs instead of 2just another soulless design present in Goy Souls III
>>740958189>breathes fire>claws at you>stomps>bitesHow does it not fight like a dragon
>>740958347>the most important thing is not presentI know DS3 fans are retarded, you dont need to remind me of that
Whats wrong with bayle
>>740957347Bayle is Midir if he was actually fun to fight
>>740959059What's more important than those things + flying (which it does do).
>>740957347i went into this fight, hit him so much it broke my sword, then dropped the game and never played again
>>740958347im gonna be honest with you, i rip off 70% of midir's health by just standing in front of it near its head and pressing forward roll whenever it does a claw swipe or whatever.>>740959059midir is boring but its perfectly possible to have a cool dragon that doesnt fly for whatever reasonAnyway Caligo completely mogs any fromsoft dragon other than Kalameet
>>740957347The one from the sunken crown DLC in DS2 was my favorite.
>>740959904regular Caligo is greatED Caligo can go die in a fire with it's unavoidable frostbite buildup
>>740959904Dude when is the last time you actually fought Kalameet? That thing sucks ass.
>>740957347>unc souls
>>740958189>>740959059Vagueposter + angry for some reason is such a loathsome combo
>>740960017Whats even bad about him other than cutting his tail>>740959995i just arrive with some good defense
What an ugly looking fucker
>>740961897what too much abyss does to a motherfucker
Midir almost never does his ultimate laser combo.
>>740961897No! Midir is a CUTE!!
>>740957347When did souls games start to get popular? How did it go from obscure console game to npc streamer game? Serious question
>>740959171Midir is fun to fight, the thing is Midir has responsive AI, where his move set changes to punish players who try attacking anything but his face.For some reason like 80% of /v/ never realized this and concluded Midir is annoying as fuck because of his move set that activates if you go under his legs. Midir is perfect as long as you go for his face.
That's not Caligo.

>>740958189>Why doesn't the Dragon fly?>No not like that!
>>740963330Word of mouth on the internet. Between like 2007 to like maybe 2013 it was particularly slop era of gaming. You could argue it's still ongoing with AAA games today even.Games were meant to be cinematic, graphic focused and as easy as possible with absolutely no trust in the player to figure things out, experiment and surpass challenges. It was the beginning of yellow paint, the refinement of characters yapping at you hints to solve the game, the utter death of limited lives, erasure of branching paths and choices, etc.Demon's Souls came out and basically played like nothing else on the market at the time; a modern game with a grittier take on challenge and some interesting ideas regarding online, with strong trust in player competency. PS3 owners formed a small following but it was a pretty niche game, but their cult pretty much started echoeing out that they had a good game in their hands.Then DaS hit the market and the DeS people recommended it to the other platforms and PC mustards petitioned to get a PC release which was successful.A culture formed around DaS and for whatever reason Namco marketed it as "This game will kick your bitch ass don't be a pussy!". Players started treating it like a Hot Sauce challenge and daring people to play this "Game that will make you its bitch".This was perfect for the rising Streaming platform which desired weird or absurd gameplay, horror elements or extreme challenges because people wanted to see the reaction of the streamers for games they weren't confident in buying. So through the streamers taking on "the challenge" people were influenced to give it a try.With that, the series got super popular. It's not that complex, like all media the market shifts into what is ultimately the safest rout but that causes stagnation and bordem from the consumer so the thing in the opposite direction wins.
>>740957347Kalameet was great
>>740957347*the only good dragon boss in FromSoft games before Bayle The Dread
>>740965221Based ty
>>740964021>actually doing the dragon fight as intendednewfags always lock on and blame the game.
>>740961897Wish they just went all out and gave him the face of the dragons in the DaS 1 intro, with the dragon God's two rows of teeth.Yeah he technically does have two rows if you look closely but it isn't obvious because he lacks the secondary "jaw".
>>740957347Bayle is so much better it's not even funny
>>740959171
>>740957548You hit the head, not the tail, retard.
>>740970307They're equal. Because Bayle is basically a cripple his current anatomical condition prevents the one thing From had an issue with regarding all their dragon fights, the player running and hiding between their legs like a bitch.They didn't need to code in some sort of move set to prevent people from abusing that. Midir has an annoying move pool designed specifically for when players do that. I said earlier, play against Midir while keeping yourself in his line of sight, his attack patterns change completely.
