Dark Souls is the best video game ever created

Dark Souls is the best video game ever created.

3, yes.

reddit game

It’s not even the best in the series

Nah, ER might be though.

Solaire is the lightning worm in 3, melee being safer and stronger than magic is lame, manus is the pygmy.

Demon's Souls was better.

YASS DS2SIS PREACH IT, DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

It's in the top 10 for sure.
Elden Ring is better though.

elden ring.png - 1920x1080, 3.71M

Never played two

How? Three looks like shit and it doesn’t have memorable areas.

Farron Keep is Darkroot Garden

OF COURSE DS2SISTER, LET'S DILATE AT THE 'CORD

Elden Ring has shit replayability, it'sa chore 2nd time

Elden Ring is better

is the switch version active? I only have the og on pc

I played through DaS1 and I can't say that it was much fun. It felt like a chore

Finally, a fellow lore expert. Would've been cool if we found a dead sanctuary guardian.

Elden Ring offers enormously more flexibility in what parts of it you even have to do, let alone the order you have to do them in, and also has far better balance and build variety. How the fuck does DS1 have better replayability? Do you just mean in the sense that you can beat DS1 in one sitting, and thus it's just literally more practical to replay it multiple times?

I've played it four times (once with co-op mod) and I've enjoyed it every time.
The only part of the game I don't really like replaying are the Mountaintops/Consecrated Snowfield.
But I'd rather play either of those then play Lost Izalith again.

Agreed.

lmao
rofl even

roll even would've been funnier

I'd assume so. 5k online for the pc remaster as well.
Supposedly the switch remaster is the best version, since it didn't fuck with the graphics much, just added the QoL stuff.

I remember the areas. Get something for your memory

At least you can find the Mushroom folk, sadly dead.

shroom_bros.jpg - 1080x608, 75.93K

the only problem with ds1 is that it's impossible for me to not get zwei instantaneously

I can replay any other FromSoft game once a year and enjoy it. Open world in Elden Ring sucks, and there are too few Legacy Dungeons/areas you don't replenish tears

I've beaten it 6 times

Yeah it's a solved game. There is little reason to do use anything else if you're playing strength.

I can replay any other FromSoft game once a year and enjoy it.

And I can replay Elden Ring and enjoy it more. You're just a gay baby retard.

This but the great scythe.

it's a solved game

autism

elden babies still coping i see. Your not even fit to serve at the feet of dark souls BVLLS

There is little reason to do use anything else if you're playing strength.

Playing strength is one of few reasons not to use the zwei IMO. With high strength you can use something even wackier like a great hammer. For zwei, there's literally no reason not to just stop at 16 STR and use an elemental infusion.

DS2tranny

zanzibart the brave is actually mirmydon the unforgiven from the timeline where the great shlomo never brandished the eldest quagmire's sword to slay the darkshat flinsdone

something something bad second half

If you love riding your horsy and clearing copy pasted dungeons you might as well try eating crayons, you might love it.

DS1 does 3D interconnection better than most 3D metroidvanias.

its called soulslike for a reason, you are a son of lesser sires.

nightrein is having to bring in OUR bosses because nobody even recognised elden rings bosses or inferior lore.

Visually and lore wise 3 is great but the gameplay is quite literally rollslop, there is objectively no reason to ever block or parry or even facetank hits because rolling is always the best option. This is a problem I'm glad Elden Ring fixed.

copy pasted dungeons

The latter half of the dungeons in elden ring have more thoughtful level design than any part of DS1.

DS2tranny

i love how the lore basically works for smouldering lake being lost izalith and ash lake smashed together because they are on the same height gradient in DS1

Visually

Hell no, DS3 is disgusting. It does have great music though. Better than Elden Ring's too, because for Elden Ring they put all the music through a loudness normalization filter for some fucking reason.

DS2tranny

filtered

Not a single area in Elden Ring even touches the Firelink Shrine world integration

nameless king is DS3 are you retarded?

People shit on DS3 for being "remember DS1?" but isn't that how a sequel should work? It makes sense to show areas from DS1 and how they've changed over time in DS3. It always bothered me how DS2 takes place in a completely different far off location that's basically irrelevant to Lordran, that game could easily not have the Dark Souls label attached to it and not much about the story would change.

I'm legitimately at the point where I believe anyone who can immediately proclaim their favorite game and point to it out of anything less than 3x3 doesn't actually like videogames all that passionately and probably shouldn't be allowed to post here.

Soulsgames aren't even the best genre

DS2tranny

implying you're being honest

bro? also smouldering lake with the mountains of demon corpses was interesting.

download (1).jpg - 1024x394, 115.56K

U ok?

install and play seamless co-op

casually blow through the game in 8 hrs with a friend who also really enjoys it

have fun every single minute of the way, even when getting swept aside like refuse by the bed of chaos or dying to some fag invader that's cheating in invulnerability but still takes 10 mins to whittle us down

tfw the golden era of From ended with Elden Ring and we're about to enter the multiplayer slop era

It was good well it lasted I guess...

are you?

Nah.
But it is pretty good tho

dont respond to him, i think he is a schizo.

you sound awfully homosexual anon, maybe you should let your friend fuck your ass

the people that shit on it for that are genuinely braindead and didnt get the point of the trilogy

fromsoft peaked with picrel

facetankslop

blockslop

good

DS2 actually was huge for the lore desu, it expanded way more on the undead curse and the concept of cycles.

lol

I have played DS2 more times than DS1.

item+enemy+fog gate randomizer

even damage/moveset randomizer

infinite replayability

MUH FIRELINK PARISH ELEVATOR

It's really not impressive. You just have nostalgia for it from playing DS1 on the PS3 when you were 12

The fact that rolling, blocking, facetanking, parrying, deflecting, jumping, and even just simply spacing/strafing are all viable ways to avoid damage, and the fact that you're encouraged to use a combination of these and not just one, makes Elden Ring's gameplay objectively better than DS3's where the correct answer is always i-frame through the attack with a roll. I love DS3, but this is just indisputable.

Ruins your view of the game

and the concept of cycles.

Almost everything that people think about DS2's "cycles" is wrong. All it did is establish that the first flame started to go out again after it was relinked, which was obvious, and that the undead curse was used to draw in new kindling for the fire.

I don't know if it's the best ever, but it's definitely really fucking close to the top.

1000018254.jpg - 650x762, 495.51K

There is a difference between continuity and fan service. Especially when DS3 has very little of its own to offer. And including characters that are just inexplicably alive from DS1 is an insane, baffling decision.

Yes that elevator.
Not a single game captured that kind of pressure relieve of returning to safety.

I'v yet to see a game that does 3d interconnect better.

I don't hate Lost Izalith that much desu. It's pretty easy to run through and the bed of chaos only takes a couple tries to get right. I'd rather do Lost Izalith over Tomb of Giants any day.

there is objectively no reason to ever block or parry or even facetank hits because rolling is always the best option.

wrong

You picked the one not disgusting level in the entire game. And even that level makes you walk through a stagnant lake and an open sewer just to finish it. When I say DS3 is gross, I don't mean in terms of graphical fidelity, but in terms of the art design and the literal reality of what you're walking through in most of the game. It's just a filthy, moist world almost from start to finish. Almost every level is at least partially sewer or swamp, and most of the enemies range from gross to revolting.

Elden ring is great but it's too big for its own good.
The bosses and enemies are lacking in variety unless they fit the forgive me zanzishart trope. The first time I played it all I could think of was,

A giant gargoyle

A dragon that fights like all other overworld dragons

An overworld enemy with a name

A giant lizard

A giant lizard, again

A lion guy you can easily stunlock

Two overworld enemies

TWO giant gargoyles!

Both of the godskin dudes, and the fight sucks

An NPC

The lion dude again

Another NPC

Another overworld enemy

The same boss you fought in a different dungeon, but there's two

The boss you already fought, but he's purple this time

If they really wanted to go that route, they should've done it the DS2 way, where you fight 50 different bosses and they all suck, but there's more variety, or at least slap a fresh coat of paint on top of them.

No it isn't

When I played dark souls 1 (2008) there were only like 200 other people playing. I guarantee, none of them were (YOU)

Lisen, there are many factors that make out quality of a souls game but without a doubt bosses are the most important one. That makes DS3 the best FormSoft game. PERIOD

Both of the godskin dudes, and the fight sucks

I like you.

Apone.webm - 1280x688, 1.59M

Half of the DS3 bosses are gimmicky bullshit and most of the rest are mediocre. Yes, SoC, Gael, and the Twin Princes are based. No, they are not representative of the game they are in.

Compare the amount of stamina you lose while blocking to how much you would if you just rolled. It's not that it's not viable there's just no incentive to do it because rolling is easier and other methods provide no advantage.

The bosses and enemies are lacking in variety

ok retard

but there's more variety

There's no variety in Shart Souls 2. Every boss ia some dude in armor or some big monster swinging a weapon or arm slowly, thrice
Sir Alonne and Fume Knight have the same fucking combos and thrust attacks as Pursuer and Lost Sinner

fuck you.
I'm at the end, I don't even remember the name of the castle because I wish to wipe off all memories of this shitty game trying to cling to me that I hated all the way through. It's a never ending straight line of levels not even connected to each other but still trying to ape what made dark souls so good but never figuring out what made it so great. Look at that last area, another straight line but between every fires you get elevators to fuel the illusion of looping and carefully layered level design. I acertain the midwits from team B in charge of this trash game really thought this would be it and that stupid elevators, that you sometimes need to teleport to using the fire because loading times are awesome, would hide the linear nature of the game. It doesn't. It's insulting.
Dark Souls had a central hub connected to parts of the map all extending on the cardinals points and up and down, and not for only a few feet, you could reach the bowels of the game and still go on finding new areas connected to others. It was visiting the heart of a priceless swiss watch with the exquisite mechanisms bare before your eyes. Dark Souls 3 is much like a cheap dollars store watch made in China.

Then there's everything about the gameplay and on that topic I'm gonna say the game SHARTS itself all over the floor and walls. It's evident how you're playing with bits of bloodborne rejects, enemies and animations that would work in bloodborne with sidesteps/rallying/more quicker tools but just suck horribly to play with in this aberration of a game. You battle enemies who constantly throw themselves at you in one quarter of a second and go frantic with the moveset while you retain the movements of a dark souls character. I'd say a good half of the new moves that you can use with mana are near useless, not worth shit, because they expose you, because poise and power armor isn't worth shit for a majority of builds, so what's the most optimized way to play this?

you didn't play it when it came out!

So?

Sister Friede, Dancer, Abyss Watchers, Champion Gundyr, Nameless King??? Hello??

and nothing comes close in the last 20 years..

That means I am superior to you.

The game has over 200 enemies not including reskins or bosses. I'm not really convinced adding more is the solution. At some point it comes down to From needing to innovate more on the enemy behaviors and the actual combat mechanics instead of just their appearance.

eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Creatures and Enemies

They literally couldn't beat those. They are hopeless anon

This. The level design in Dark Souls is insanely good.

Meanwhile I just started playing DaS3 for the first time and immediately you have to warp from firelink to the starting area, and the entire game is balanced around fast travel warping between any and all bonfires. And of course I'm on PS4 with 30+ second load time between areas.

I still like DaS 3 it does some things better, but it's mainly a graphics upgrade.

2/2
it's to press circle, and r1, those re the two buttons you'll rape through the game or if you're fortunate to pick a weapon with a quick enough special you'll want to spam that battle art, like the exiled sword, like the spiked mace.
Another thing already discussed to exhaustion is the lack of personality. Outside of fan service there ain't much to it in it, it's not doing anything new, not surprinsing the player, it's a job and not a work of passion by people who wanted to move on and it shows.
you get very little down time to take in the atmosphere,
very little enchanting sights
very little charming bits like you got in DS that could move you, show you that even in a dying world beauty could still be found
it's a never ending, dulling railway from a lame horror house with things jumping at you, yelling, screaming, spiting at you, I am sick of this shit, it's numbing, it's annoying, it's unimaginative, it's a fucking mound of shit I hate dark shit 3 I hate dark shit 3 I HATE DARK SHIT 3

ALL GREAT IF THE GAME WASN4T A ROLL SIMULATOR YOU NIGGGGGGGGER

agree it's my favorite game of all time

i agree anon, 3 is the worst in the series by a long shot

innovate more on the enemy behaviors and the actual combat mechanics

what's crazy is classic doom enemies from 93 have more advanced behavior than any fromsoft enemy

Dark Souls 3 has better combat, graphics, music and atmosphere.
But it is a downgrade from DS1 in terms of everything else.
And it's weird to me that Bloodborne is just as interconnected as DS1 (if not more so) but none of the other games in the franchise are like that.

Superior at being old maybe

nah, but it's pretty good

Overrated garbo, I played the first one for 2 hours and then uninstalled that shite.

skill issue. you're mentally retarded

Actually DS2 is the best.

fact

why I'm clueless as to why you wouldn't like it, look how the devs understood the errors of the base game and the moment you slip into the dlc you're welcomed by SCREAMING SHIT BIRDS DRAGGING SHIT SACKS BETWEEN THEM LEGS AIN'T IT GREAT? YEAH I THINK IT'S AMAZING

I didn't even mention the swamps. Or the sheer UGLINESS of the game it's like the whole world is coated in slime. And the blur effect, another thing I overlooked, looks like ass when distant blur was magical in dark souls, what gives?

Wherever I look I find new reasons to be mad

I think it could have been a contender if they actually finished it.

Ranni > Blind cunt

How do i find a wife like this?

letting a woman rule for you

Lol, holy crap

bloodborne is its own thing, like sekiro. It had different qualities than dark souls.
It has fantastic art, animations, effects, and the polishing is insane. It's why I was so shocked when I started playing dark souls 3.
Oh yeah and instead of having 584515745498 weapons with most of them sucking dicks, they made only a handful of them but they're so good you want to play with them all.
and the sidestep/rallying turning the fights into wars of attrition elevating the violence to levels never explored before make the game stand out.

Sister Friede,

Phase 1 and 2 are boring and phase 3 is nearly impossible to play cleanly but also you can just bully her because she has no poise. Overall, a mediocre fight

Dancer

Arousing and cool looking but not particularly challenging or interesting

Champion Gundyr,

Stupid unless you parry, trivial if you do.

Nameless King

Okay, overrated. People are intimidating by him because his wind moves do hard knock down a bunch, but he's really not difficult at all to learn, also his music is lame

Nice bait even though its's true

Yes. It's common sense that everyone everywhere outside of Anon Babble understands. People here will achieve inhuman feats of mental gymnastics to try and justify their contrarianism, and somehow that routine is something they latched onto.

rannifag is gay

shocker

I can't hear music when I'm stressed so it might as well be muted for me. Combat though I actually prefer DaS, even DeS. Something about 3's combat just doesn't feel satisfying, like my stamina and poise are just nerfed as fuck so every fight has to take longer unless I want to go unarmored.

I'm nearly through the game but I'm thinking maybe instead of a STR build I should have done a magic build.

And that's another thing: getting good equipment early is much harder in 3 than in 1, because of how linear and disconnected areas are. You can't just beeline for Havels and Zwei in 3 although I did appreciate Claymore and Longbow being pretty quick to find. But I can't find an armor set I like with poise that makes the weight worth giving up rolling.

As for atmosphere I think the darksign sun eclipse is neat but, but none of it really grabs me, everything just feels tame. The snowy church city of Irithyll is meh, the swamp areas were meh, Lothric castle and running around rooftops felt boring. They WAY overused rooftops. Being on a rooftop should feel like a secret and like you're a little out of bounds. Making rooftops a required way to traverse levels the first time through takes away the magic. I'd rather be forced through tunnels.

Because you can't use shields, you think blocking consuming more stamina than rolling, something that was always true in any game, means jackshit.
Dodging delays your stamina recovery for hole animation, blocking doesn't.
Dodging locks you into a full animation, blocking doesn't.
Dodging can get caught, blocking lets you manuver while safe.
Blocking is powerful as fuck, even with a mediocre shield and low stamina at early level, but you need a brain to use it which is why your cocnept of good shield is sitting behind Fingerprint shield with Atspur Rapier and 3 dozen buffs

Dolls have no genitals and belong to the wood chipper or into a burning firepit.

wish we got to kill the bitch in some way, or at least use the rape potion on her for Sir Seluvis

Ds3chads can't stop winning. Go away elden cock ring simps

Demons Souls is the best one and the franchise suffers from a lack of wavedashing and juggling.

nobody ever found a justification for the dark souls 3 thieves to be reused as imps for the entire game in elden ring, they're in all the crypts and tombs, in all shrines, why are those annoying niggers everywhere? Why? Why?

THEY'RE EVEN LODDGED IN THE CAPITAL' SEWER I KNOW THEY DON'T LOOK OUT OF PLACE HERE PLAYING ON WATER PIPES AND POOLS OF STAGNANT PISS BUT STILL

if there's a world renown hacker please infiltrate fromslop central network and replace all of nightreign bosses and monsters with thieves because fuck you fromsoft

It's weird that Miyazaki didn't allow us to do this like the coward he has become. Ranni is a true villain in her game if read into it more and deserves it.

join gigamegaChad Shabriri and burn this husk of a world
burn all that divides and distinguishes
MAY CHAOS TAKE THE WORLD

you couldn't block your way through bosses in ds1 either
parrying in ds3 is also super strong on some bosses

I love Solaire. One of the best husbandos of all time.

I've played DeS back in 2010 and I CANNOT parry. Never been able to do it.

All those resistance points could've been use for STR, we welcome you in the council of warriors but do not grant you the title of CHAD

I just realized that Dark Souls parallels the Prince of Persia trilogy when it comes to reception.

1st game is this unique magical adventure that immediately gets classic status and regarded as one of the best vidya ever

2nd game shifts so much in a certain direction it surprises fans, causing divide and controversy, with half the fanbase hating it, the other half saying it's the best

seeing this, the 3rd game tries to backpedal to the first game's tone, with a fuckload of references to it, even bringing back characters, is considered an overall good game but isn't talked about as much as the two others

Only difference is that for ds it was the 2nd game that got the rushed development treatment, for pop it was the 3rd.

best ending in all seriousness, full reset. giwtwm

How does that much liquid fit in one dog

3D metroidvanias

that's like 5 games

BB has a lot of disjointed areas like cainhurst, and not nearly as many loop backs. Climbing up blighttown, only to end up back at firelink was a real 'oh my god' moment for me the first time.

FPBP

Smouldering Lake isn't Ash Lake. The trees in Ash Lake are absolutely massive, like 100x the size of the twigs in Smouldering Lake. Smouldering Lake are the remains of Lost Izalith. Ash Lake lies deeper than that.

Most people will level it at least a little bit on their first run, since the game does a poor job explaining stats.

Warrior Within is the best PoP game though.
God I wish another game would replicate the edgy arabic style.

Thought parry was made for a selected number of very hefty enemies, like the half a dozen of dark knights before fighting gwyn in dark souls.
I didn't even try parrying in dark slop 3 because everything moves like the flash and you're pitiful with your crappy shield. Again because I never have enough of dunking on dark slop 3, going from bloodborne with gun parries feeling like pure sexe, to the pathetic abilities of your character in DS3 is akin to joining the légion étrangère as a 90yo old man with arthritis

But this is my I don't even know how manyth run.

We got the nu Prince of Persia subscribed to us by Sweet Baby Inc.

there's a pop 3?

Agreed, it's my favorite too if I had to choose, but I love all three games, same with Dark Souls.

Dark Souls 3 and Blooborne play the same, tranny.

i respect it, but is it actually helpful?? i bet those blowdart fuckers still insta proc toxic with 99 resistance

It's something you have to specifically dedicate time to learning which is frustrating because you're going to suck real hard at first and miss 9/10 parries. However I don't even think it's worth learning because it seriously trivializes the games, even in Elden Ring where many bosses require 2-3 parries for one riposte.

I'd argue Forbidden Woods back to Iosefka's clinic is much more surprising
But BB also a lot more smaller loops particularly leading back to Central Yharnam and Cathedral Ward which act as hubs for their respective half of the game.

Parries in Bloodborne are way too risk free to the point where whenever I play that game I just automatically gravitate towards dealing with every enemy with parries.

Well you do find the stone parma there.

big pocket of messages around Solaire

never figured out how to save him and fought him in Izalith

akagi.jpg - 275x183, 10.13K

hows the BB emu my friends?

parrying the main parryable bosses in Elden Ring is fucking impossible

it's like 10x harder than parrying in DS3 which was already hard enough

What are the orange and blue glowing dots?

Hell yea
Prince acquired some serious stealth abilities since WW, probably the smoothest gameplay flow of the trilogy, shame about all the cut corners they had to make due to time constraints. Also felt a bit lacking in atmosphere, but worth a play or two.

I'm still bitter that the open world PoP game got turned into Ass Creed.
Same with the OG Splinter Cell Conviction that also got turned into Ass Creed.

I think that's just because they have different timings than the Souls games. Elden Ring gives you three parry AoWs that have massively improved parry frames and the golden parry in particular makes the actual hitbox of your parry much bigger so similar to Bloodborne you can actually stand outside of an enemy's attack range and parry them risk free. Malenia in particular gets shit on by the golden parry AoW.

Two of those things are wrong though.

you missed all the big threads when everyone was playing it a couple of weeks ago.
I don't remember how they did it but it's not emulating the ps4, they found a trick, so you don't need a monster of a rig to play it.

fuck, thats wicked tho

Yeah I much prefer just taking a hit with a shield and retaliating after, then dodging, and then parrying I've just never been able to do properly.

Right now I'm stuck on twin princes bossfight and I was trying to roll and circle strafe around his attacks but it hasn't been working, and I've already maxed out a lightning zwei and a heavy claymore on a STR build so I'm not going to be able to do more damage or stagger more effectively. Lorian's teleporting is just way too annoying.

I'm going to try a few more times playing it safer just backing away from his attacks I REALLY WISH I just had access to good armor. Even Smough's set just doesn't look like it's worth it in terms of raw defense and poise.

wake up bro it's 2025

but I don't know if they figured out how to play the animations at anything past 30 fps without it looking weird, or if you can play it above 1080p now.

shoulda never gave away my ps4...i'll want to play it again bad enough one of these days, then ill try out the emu

armor

ds3

I just press circle with the carthus rings and the lowest equipment weight

OK Marcus

I grew up raised by rats they never taught me how to read

Wow we cerainly needed a lore expert to find out Darkroot Garden is Farron Keep
Dark Souls 3 is the first Fromsoftware game with a functioning armor system

capra demon arena is just one bright orange spot glowing like a beacon

lmao

I swore to not install it again this decade because I finished it enough times to play all the weapon but the kos parasite and that bloodtinge weapon that requires a specific build. If I continue playing it I'll turn trans like those youtube ecelebs.

AC1 was absolutely insane when it came out, with limitless potential. If they hadn't discarded the original concept due to greed, it could have been another glorious trilogy of classic games. It all went downhill with the second game.
Forgotten Sands was already lacking in numerous areas, I'm glad they didn't squander the Prince's legacy further. Lost Crown does not exist.

understandable, I am sorry. hows your folks?

Wow it's almost like the world is rotting.

don't blame bloodborne for that...blame society, the government, or both

Gets interrupted by the boss and loses half healthbar

Also carthus rings suck, use Chloranthy and the other Ringed City Rings and Prisoner, try and bring Havel +3 for light roll if you just dodge

I also like how orange the graveyard is, with basically no messages. New players gotta learn the hard way.

Is Smoldering Lake = Ash Lake? If so what made the trees shrink so much?

I suck at reading boss moves so I'm reluctant to give up defense. Although at this point I'm reading most of the boss moves okay I just get caught rolling so yeah that might work. I can give it a couple tries later today.

Actually yeah now that I'm thinking about it you might just be right about

armor

All of it has been extremely underwhelming. 90% of the game so far I just stuck with my starting Northern set because everything else was worse. If I replay next time I'll probably do a pyro/sorc INT build.

Trying 3 playing a caster, and I can only conclude that the devs hate casters and shields.
Every other enemy is a turbo aggressive heavy attack spamming damage sponge with infinite poise and stamina with leap or charge attacks.

If I wanted to play god of war, I'd just go play that instead.

way ahead of you I'll always blame the first party racing in my thoughts whenever I'm at fault for anything

I think about jews a lot

to this day I wonder why the fuck they assraped poise, pvp probably but still..

All you can do is ridicule the game and fanbase and play souls instead like a true man. Bloodtrannies irk me.

did I miss something in my dozen playthroughs? Why are there so many deaths on the empty bridge between Andre's hut and Sens fortress?

It's wonderful. ;-;

they're out there. they probably think about you more than you do them if that makes you feel any better. fav bb weapon?

the ((((((demons)))))) cut off the tips

It's just not that good.
Imagine if someone ever, for once, would put the same level of effort into depicting a pre-fall, in its prime, alive, vibrant, interesting, colorful, populated, adventurous, fantasy setting instead of post-undead-apoc-despair-death-dying-light-gray-on-gray-is-better-than-gray-on-brown-for-some-reason-spirit-corpse-stitched-together-grave-monsters slop

Aren't the improved rings NG+ only? I held off on Havel's because it's only +15% equip weight according to google.

I don't have DLC because I bought a used PS4 copy like 7 years ago and only just started playing it last week. I'm going to buy elden ring (PS4) and I was thinking of maybe picking up a PS4 trilogy pack if it includes all the DLC for the games (never touched DaS2). Bad idea?

Normally I'd pirate for PC without a second thought but I'm on Debian and don't feel like spending 6 hours getting it playable on mediocre specs.

Persia

arabic

These games take place in the pre-arabic rape of Persia, they were essentially tan white people and Zoroastrians. Not mudslimes, not ugly hooknosed arab mutts like today.

it all looks the same to me desu
at least the architecture

Certainly it was to fuck over players like me who suck at intended mechanics and just brute force things.

Also probably because of small amounts of audience capture, way too many people got famous for damageless runs and SL1 runs and dodge rolling around every attack pattern because they played the game a hundred times. That's why everything is so fast and aggressive, to keep the difficulty up for rollspammers with thousands of hours in prior games.

The lizardmen will chase you for a while there, and they are a significant jump in difficulty on your first play through IMO.
I can't think of anything else besides retards falling off the sides.

too many crazy things in bloodborne to pick one waifu, the beast cutter is too cool, the church pick is too cool, the blades of mercy are cool, the axe is cool, the cane is cool even with all the hate it gets from the anti reddit squad, the scythe is cool even if underpowered, the boom hammer has a little moveset but makes up for it by exploding, how can one pick a single weapon in this?
I don't care for the spear and the saw cleaver, that's all I can say. It's not flashy enough.

Because it was shit and deserved to be assraped

Aren't the improved rings NG+ only?

No, this isn't Worst Souls 2. Rushing DLC can be done very early and gives lots of good rewards.

Bad idea?

No, it's a good deal. Not having DLCs for Souls games is always a bad idea. I would stop playing and buy them all when they go on sale if you like what you are playing now

The reiterpallasch is great. I was happy to play through the entire game with it with mods.

Because it was shit and deserved to be assraped

no u, but seriously, why? heavy, medium, and light loads should not be identical, but in 3 they might as well be

Because arabs are copying the architecture of much more ancient, pre-pisslamic cultures and people. Arabs were just living in tents in the desert, molesting goats until their new religion allowed them to conquer actual civilizations, and live in their ruins to this day.

ain't it the one with bloodtinge requirement?

I had no idea there even were NG+ versions of rings in DS3. It's funny how you'll get the +2 versions in NG++ and the +3 versions in the DLC, meaning the devs intended you to do the DLC in NG++

Thank you for explaining. Mashallah.

Ds3 fags are mentally ill
Poise was a great mechanic and ds2/3 ruined the entire series, they quite literally do everything wrong

little reason to do use anything else

Because it’s fun?

Well then I'll just finish my 3 playthough and wait for a sale while I play Elden Ring.

I remember when the Artorias DLC came out I saw clips of his fight and noped right the fuck out. I hate fights like that.

You know why it took my so long to come back to DaS3 after owning it for so long? I got hard filtered on the tutorial boss until my little brother made fun of me and I tried using the Warrior class. And it still took like ten tries. I'm just bad at these games man...

he plays games for fun

reddit is uh, that way

i need to give the old hunter weapons a fair run, ill usually play around with them as i find em, but cant switch from ludwigs or The Wheel

repeat the point but say it like a retard

This form of Anon Babbletard arguing has never served to do anything but make (you) look like you don’t understand

get stone armor

get wolf's ring

get havel's ring

get grass crest shield

get any black knight weapon

level up till can use said weapon

invade in undead burg

King

The convergence of the lands brough Izalith and Ash Lake together, and trees don't mix well with fire.

The funniest part about them trying to stop twinking in DS1 is it just ended up screwing new players over even harder. The twinks still have busted set ups, but new players can't summon veterans to help them anymore.

oh sorry buddy bad connection

whoops.png - 1016x768, 830.05K

but seriously, why?

Because poise applied to any weapon was broken and shit and didn't reward the correct weapon combinations and nothing short of the most finetuned poise per weigth ratio armor

heavy, medium, and light loads should not be identical, but in 3 they might as well be

They aren't
Poise was shit, if you are so nostalgic for braindead gameplay just spam Iron Flesh

weak

people actually unironically did this

put their router next to where they're gaming so they can dc to avoid losing

Please be better than this holy shit. It's just a game.

They aren't

stunlocks npc in full black iron with a tiny straight sword

ok buddy!

it's ok to do this if you have a lot of souls

One of the things i found (still find) remarkable about Dark Souls 3 is the commitment to having every stone be a 3d model. Like most games would just make all that brickwork as a flat texture but From really went for it and modeled it all.

ds3fags are well and truly, mentally ill

The water and reflections also look really nice there.
DS3 has aged well.

I think the lord of the hollows quest is pretty cool but besides that I completely agree with you.

Nameless king is very difficult if you’re a panic roller. The first time I fought him I died like 30 times

Yeah the graphics are pretty sick

Then play offline or hollow. It's just cringe to have your network equipment in arms length while gaming because you can't stand playing the game as intended.

The semites who walked out of Arabia (when it wasn't a desert) became the Assyrians, Arabs were just reclaiming what was theres desu

A lot of these bosses are easy as fuck if your weapon is the highest level it can be while fighting them

this, there is a reason we got ds2 2 and ds2 3

I have a maxed out heavy claymore and lightning zwei and I'm still getting fucked up on twin princes. Dancer also took me quite a few tries with heavy claymore +9

They're all amazing and have obviously mogged the rest of the industry for so long the phrase 'roll slop' had to be invented for the seething buttmad retards with bad taste
Bloodborne best game
DS1 most soul
ER an amazing end point
DS2 jank has the most charm
DS3 the most depressing and perhaps best balanced pvp (in their feelings chads appreciate that)
Sekiro most challenging

Anon Babble unironically has always kneeled to the true king of games today, because at the end of the day we're smarter/better/more handsome and can't deny the BDE of Souls

didn't play DeS
