/dsg/ - Dark Souls General

She is carrying Lucifer's child.

Buff Dragonsis+ashen user is my type of thing personally.

Anyone else really dig the atmosphere in Dark Souls 3?

I don't see eyes.

It's super. I actually felt like this was a DaS1 sequel while playing it, unlike with 2.

I liked the early shots better.

What is a good sorcerer build for Ds2?

...

How do i master backstabbing?

Where do I get a megamule savefile for PC SOTFS? Couldn't find it in nexusmods

Anyone want to do Demon Prince? On PC password dsg.

It's just like in DaS2, if they turn around to hit you, they get sucked into the animation

omw

The first video is just bullshotted up version of what we already got in the game.

The second video is MUCH more interesting, I wish there was more on the "sacrifice" mechanic that these guys were talking about.

That said I think I dislike the purple hues in the skybox and prefer what we got now, but the mechanics they're talking about sound interesting.

You want to play a hentai game?

What the fuck happened to you, Lucifer?

I kind of meant pvp but anyways anyone wanna practice backstab on PC?

>push dex/int with every fucking weapon and swordcery
>make 0(zero, nada, niente) starting classes with a dex int start
Do they understand their own fucking game?

I just asked if the base gameplay (non-porn) was good. I have always been open-minded. I even gave DaS2 and SotFS a chance, and they are more offensive than any porn game could ever be.

Holy shit, I haven't seen you since 2013-2014.
There won't be many times when I admit that a tripfag was "right", but you were right on the money on both DS2 sucking and Sony developing Demon's Souls 2 ( Bloodborne).

How'd you enjoy BB and DS3 ?

wew lad his health in second phase

my damage was fantastically low, also i died like a bitch to a teleport animation sorry
still going?

yeah i'm low dps as fuck so it's a rwal slog got him down to 1/6th and he slammed me for full health

youtube.com/watch?v=R-Gzgz9BFZk

Is irithyl dungeon the best area as far as invaders interacting with the world?

Sounds like you two have really shitty builds.

Are you both tanks with great shields at least? Or some dumb meme build?

80 dex sellsword but i'm downscaled. It's not that my damage is low it's that he's summoning lapp which bloats the boss HP

I'm level 40 with 6 estus +1

>How'd you enjoy BB and DS3 ?

Bloodborne was amazing, and I organized the group that discovered it was actually possible to have 5 players in bloodborne

youtube.com/watch?v=BJpPtRb1M1M

>DS3
Never bought it. Miyazaki lost his touch or just isn't good with the sequel format. Or maybe it's just Bloodborne spoiled me with its aggressive gameplay.

>hate to admit tripfag was right

I don't care if i'm right. I was just trying to save people from wasting their money on a shit game.

Lapp is actually useful though, and as long as you take out the demon in pain first, the fight is a push over. Unless you have projectiles, just focus on avoiding everything the boss does, then rush him and beat the snot out him as he is charging his lazer. Back up after he fires it to avoid the AoE then go land a few more hits, rinse and repeat.

>80 dex
Lol dumb meme build.

Still probably could have just used a bleed weapon so its not really your build fault but your fault for being dumb.

And? I did it at half that.

>Lol dumb meme build.
What? It's actually really strong for pve and fine for pvp.

>Never bought it. Miyazaki lost his touch or just isn't good with the sequel format

Ok go away now.

>buff dragonsis
>ashen one
Why not cute dragonsis + nameless king?

Why do you keep avatar fagging? Why not just make a trip? At least using a trip isn't against the rules.

Anyone wanna smash old demon king with me? Lvl 50 at the Demon Ruins Bonfire right by his room. PW is dsg

I wouldn't know. Never summoned for any boss, increasing hp for a npc that may or may not attack feels like a waste to me when I can autopilot L1 mash against them solo.

Starting my Super Nintendo.

>And? I did it at half that.
how did you manage to have only 3 estus?

I soloed all the bosses too, but I also dropped my sign and helped for the Demons and Midir a lot too.

>posting cat images is avatarfagging
When did that happen?

>tfw while in the darkmoon covenant i've killed more blues than hosts

Thanks Safe!

>Ok go away now

Miyzaki said straight up he doesn't like making sequels and didn't think dark souls was a franchise that deserves a sequel

Are you retarded? Miyazaki's strength is WORLD BUILDING. Dark Souls 3 isn't world building than it is capitalizing on a world that is already built, and he simply isn't built for Nostalgia

unless its pic related. pic related is the best Nostalgia miyazaki has ever put out

How would you know if you didnt purchase ds3? I really don't understand why every trip is so autistic.

Just go away.

LMAO
Some darkmoon just tried to juke me on the elevator and send me down, but I killed him at the last second

The firstborn reveal/ending was tastefully done in my opinion. Also the death of the demon race.

>didn't think dark souls was a franchise that deserves a sequel

Source?

the 3 endings were all pretty good too especially the normal one and fire keeper one.

Also the last boss is great. Well he probably needs a health and defense boost before the last patch happens.

>Well he probably needs a health and defense boost before the last patch happens

A lot of dark souls 3 bosses need this. It's so easy to become overleveled against the early bosses. Vordt and Abyss Watchers only truely shine when you are underleveled/"underupgraded"

>didn't think dark souls was a franchise that deserves a sequel
Would like to get a link to the interview.

That said, I agree with the sentiment that with sequels he isn't allowed to be nearly as creative as with a new I.P.

>Source?

ign.com/articles/2013/01/29/miyazaki-dark-souls-shouldnt-have-multiple-sequels

It's fairly obvious Miyazaki was against the idea of raping the lore of Dark Souls when it was built to be minimalistic and devoid of sequels, but Namco Bandai wanted to be greedy assholes and make sequels, so Miyazaki decided to take the reigns in DS3 and do the best he could, but it didn't capture the magic of DS1

>h-he was right about dark souls 2 but i disagree with him on dark souls 3
this is why i have money in my bank account and you don't tbqh.

I'd like the atmosphere more if

1. It didn't hammer me on the head with the Ash theme

2. There were more ambient sounds in areas other than just wind or nothing (Crucifixion Woods did it right)

>money problems in 2017
are you a minority

why is every dex/int weapon so shit

>this is why i have money in my bank account and you don't tbqh.

You dont know anything about me you autistic piece of shit.

Just because you're using a trip you assume you're better than others?

because split damage in general is mostly shit

>aquamarine dagger is shit
>friede scythe is shit
Nigguh, what the fuck are you doing?

>this is why i have money in my bank account

Careful guys, this trip fag has 50 bucks in his savings account.

I don't think the devs would really balance High Wall of Lothric around beating the Giant Crystal Lizard and the Sword Master, or around 5-6 estus completely placed in healing (what about casters?).

Unless they got massive buffs since their releases, they are shit.

>replying to lucishit
I hope you don't do this.

Do the crows in the Undead Settlement count?
But yeah, I really liked areas such as Shrine of Storms in DeS and Majula in DS2. Dem ocean waves and the overall atmosphere of the coast.... Magnificent.

>dude what if magic costs fp, stamina, and estus
Why does M hate magic so much?

not to mention the fact that you need 4 boosting items and tracking isn't as good as it was in other games in a game where fights are more fast paced

>still can't riposte with a spell

Mana was a much better system for magic than having limited casts for magic and taking shit off of the weapon durability for special weapon attacks.

Equip a crescent shield to regen mana or something.

You only really need the 2 rings for your spell type in PvE.

People constantly bitched that it was easy mode. They finally started listening.

how do i improve my level 20 +2 darkmoon build? mugenmonkey.com/darksouls3/202523

>ask for source
>get given source
>can't attack miyazaki's own words so you attack the last part of the post that has literally nothing to do with the argument of dark souls 3

like moths to a flame
youtube.com/watch?v=3rSgWlB88g4

if you excuse me, I have blue eye orbs to activate and Estocs to rev.

(P.S: Dark Souls 3 is the reason 'Souls Fatigue' is settlng in, because miyazaki made a dud)

>need 4 boosting items
Why do people keep saying this as if melee builds don't do the exact same thing with rings(rob flyn anyone) and poise?

never asked for source
just said you're poor as shit if you think you saved a good amount of money by not buying dark souls 3 lel

What are /dsg/'s favorite boss weapons from Dark Souls 2? I need a couple recommendations for beginner players/different builds and stat distributions.

I know first-hand that Dragonslayer Spear is ballsy. Never really messed with any other boss weapons.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
A lot of the things in DS2 were developers' direct responses to people complaining about DS1 (overpowered backstabs, twinking, iframes during animations yadda yadda) and they went and either overdid them or people didn't know what they actually wanted.

Then DS3 went back to butthugging DeS and DS1 because listening to fan feedback was a mistake.

Smelter sword
combine red and blue for cheeto and cool ranch power

magic builds need 4 ring slots to even have damage, most melee ringslots are luxury items like fav or silvercat

Fume sword. Stylish as fuck.

The Garg Bident is also very nice.

>souls fatigue
>sum of hours played in das3 is past 1400
disdain
you're just an elitist tripfag and actually making me miss shitters like cass

One thing that rustles my jimmies about 2 is getting killed by trash while trying to enter boss fog. Utter shite.

Lost Sinner's Swords, PUGS, Dragonrider Bow, Dragonrider Twinblade, Dragonrider Halberd Velstad's hammer

You can't make something by just taking feedback and accepting all suggested changes.
This is what dark souls 2 did.

My biggest problem with the combat is you can't even chain an R1 into an R2. I tried to play it again recently and dropped it after the heide knights in heide's tower started aggroing from halfway across the map.

The game is a clunky fucking mess, and it feels unplayable after they streamlined everything and sped up the combat in dark souls 3

rob flynn isn't in ds3 and poise is not always necessary. I've gotten enough poise with chain + base vit as a knight anyways. Comparing poise to damage boosting shit is stupid because then you still have a problem comparing to small weapons and dex builds regardless of if poise is a valid argument.

>Attack 3 man gank Squad in Gank City while they kill the Silver Knights
>Kill both Phantoms
>Host pulls Plug
Why are some people so butthurt

The problem isn't that they listen; the problem is that they over compensate.

What we needed was DaS1 as a PvP base. Nioh style backstabs/attacks, and DaS3 style guard crushes.

Undead Crypt entrance was fucking pain.

Chaining R1s into R2s feels amazing in Bloodborne. I wish their next game has as fluid combat as BB.

And not all DS2's changes were crap, the guard breaks were pretty decent, being able to manually aim crossbows was also neat.

I love how dark souls 2 has fog walls that don't mean anything either. So fucking stupid. A fog wall used to be a clue that once you pass through it, you won't be able to make your way back for awhile. In dark souls 2 you can pass through a fog wall and then literally just walk right back through. So why even have them?

Everything about dark souls 2 is such an unpolished fucking mess REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

What's the best strenght weapon in Das2 you can aquire early to cheese this shitty game

mace

Blessings of the moon on your journey.

I like the idea of an early grab like Drgonrider Halberd, but am concerned with the skill hurdle presented by "sweet spot" hitboxes like halberds and reapers.

Is it a necessary part of learning certain weapions, or another complication that would make the game harder for a new player?

>A fog wall used to be a clue that once you pass through it, you won't be able to make your way back for awhile.
What the fuck are you talking about
