Bayle is Midir if he was actually fun to fight
>>
>>740959059
What's more important than those things + flying (which it does do).
>>
>>740957347
i went into this fight, hit him so much it broke my sword, then dropped the game and never played again
>>
>>740958347
im 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.
>>740959059
midir is boring but its perfectly possible to have a cool dragon that doesnt fly for whatever reason

Anyway Caligo completely mogs any fromsoft dragon other than Kalameet
>>
>>740957347
The one from the sunken crown DLC in DS2 was my favorite.
>>
>>740959904
regular Caligo is great
ED Caligo can go die in a fire with it's unavoidable frostbite buildup
>>
>>740959904
Dude when is the last time you actually fought Kalameet? That thing sucks ass.

Vagueposter + angry for some reason is such a loathsome combo

>>740960017
Whats even bad about him other than cutting his tail
>>740959995
i just arrive with some good defense

No! Midir is a CUTE!!
>>
>>740957347
When did souls games start to get popular? How did it go from obscure console game to npc streamer game?
Serious question
>>
>>740959171
Midir 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.

Word 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.

newfags always lock on and blame the game.

>>740961897
Wish 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".

>>740957347
Bayle is so much better it's not even funny

You hit the head, not the tail, retard.

>>740970307
They'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.
