I feel like my opinion on Midir might be a bit skewed because my first and only playthrough of TRC was on NG+7. Though I've always hated giant bosses like that; I much prefer humanoid boss
Easton Murphy
What's your SL?
Luke Thomas
Why do reds get so salty about getting ganked? They have no argument and no reason to complain about me killing them when their sole intention was to force their way into MY world to grief and/or kill me. So why complain that I'm higher on the food chain and beating them at their own game?
It's my world and my rules. The hunter has now become the hunted and I'm the Apex Predator and you're the prey. You can cry and complain about it or you can improve and Get Good.
Ayden Hernandez
It builds up both things, but toxic half as much as poison, so don't expect to proc it unless you use toxic mist as well. Mythas is only worth it powerstanced. If you really want a dickass poison built, try poison resin sanctum mace, yorghs spear or channelers trident. The multihit attacks are easy to land.
Camden Evans
Haven't played in forever. Was probably somewhere around 300, pure pve account basically
Michael Hill
Post rage messages or didn't happen.
Matthew Roberts
I see many more made up stories of invaders killing 60 phantoms and making the host disconnect
Jonathan Moore
Typical red babby:
Lucas Sullivan
I was talking about steam pms or some shit like that. How do you know if they are being salty?
Connor Gutierrez
Honestly, this "stone guy placed perfectly to block an entrance" meme is the lamest shit I've ever seen.
Owen Green
Why does it matter and what would it "prove?"
Jace Morris
It is overplayed, yes.
Jaxon Morris
it was okay when it happened once or twice when it was the area's gimmick it was pretty fucking dumb
Kevin Lewis
Check this out: >you can't climb over his
Thomas Richardson
just run at supr hihg speed and you'll clip right through gim
Jason King
Yeah, those statues in dks2 are lame af. It's like >Hey, we've made a shortcut/additional entrance, but we aint know shit about level design, so here's a statue blocking it, which be removed with a special item
Ethan Sullivan
dude im so stoned lmao
Juan Clark
what's the rick and morty of dark souls builds?
Brayden Nguyen
It wasn't such a huge N64 Woods gimmick in vanilla. On of the many zones ruined by SotFS.
Hunter Clark
let's make a suspicious covenant, so i can get all up in the abyss's asshole
Anthony Russell
Those are just fancy doors you stupid cunts.
Logan Clark
Because that is fun to read people raging and swearing after being defeated. I thought you have such kind of contented, as you were claiming like people were bitching at you after you defeat them?
Jaxon Brooks
Crux Faith build because it's so randumb (literally)
Nicholas James
can you even unpetrify them all? i know there's a random drop of one of the branches also i've been to the catacombs once before dropping the game and seems like it's the same gimmick except i've wasted all of my stones for nothing
Hudson Hughes
>area looks like complete and utter shit and is half-covered with fog >only area in the game where I get framedrops
anyone know why?
Bentley Davis
>can you even unpetrify them all? you can
Parker Harris
Then make them doors.
You can't deny people bitch and moan in dsg.
Levi Hall
Yeah, "fancy". No-no. It's GLORIOUS level design. That and those retarded keystones.
Blake Flores
Honestly, this "door placed perfectly to block an entrance" meme is the lamest shit I've ever seen.
Mason White
>i know there's a random drop of one of the branches No there isn't Every branch you get is 100% guaranteed by just being on the ground/in a store, every item you get for unpetryfing a dude is 100% the same every time
Josiah Brown
N64 emulation
Easton Davis
giveth thee the succ
Wyatt Long
I know you're memeing, but my favorite time a red got assmad at me he pitched an autistic fit at me over Steam because i drank estus in the middle of a fight.
In DS2.
Jason Cooper
Sulyvahn did EVERYTHING right
Jordan Cox
Some dude I invaded and killed with powertanced blacksteel katanas went to a screenshot I had taken from a completely different game 3 years ago to call me a filthy katana user
James Jenkins
>castle made for giants >have those tiny midget doors within the doors Hmm..hmm..hmm..
Alexander Baker
can't tell if ironic
Dylan Perez
...
Sebastian Jenkins
My favourite was when he chimped out after I returned home when he summoned two blues and a phantom
Caleb Gomez
What are great pure faith weapons that arent the absolute madman's ree stick
Jeremiah Evans
it's a snake, right
Elijah King
>stay at SL55+6 for literally forever because blew all available Twinkling and Scales upgrading a bunch of weapons to +3 >finally get Dragonchaser's Ashes
And in all that time, literally only twice have I been invaded while Embered.
Gabriel Phillips
he's a ((((male))))))
Lucas Nguyen
It's for Silver Niggas
Andrew Robinson
The exact same but you adjust the dex and str to suit your other weapon of choice and buff it with DMB.
Jace Rivera
Only one worth mentioning is Sunlight Straight Sword, because it's a straight sword.
Owen Russell
Sunlight Straight Sword. 12 str, 12 dex, 60 fth and 391AR unbuffed. Combine than with Lightning Blade or Darkmoon Blade or Dark Blade at your 60 fth are you'll be the absolute madman.
Better yet, one could easily reach through and unlock it, but noone seems to care because MIYAZAKI. I despise dastards holy shit.
Mason Nelson
Why the fuck is there not a single decent flail in all of these goddamn games? And I mean a FLAIL, not a FLAYULL
Jack Phillips
Actually it's something I've been sperging about for a loooong while
Parker Bell
>a door is locked a blocks your way makes sense within the game's world >almost every door is locked and blocks your way annoying but makes sense still, that is literally what doors are for, blocking passages to some while allowing them to others >a random petrified dude blocks your way kind of weird but definitely can happen >EVERY petrified dude blocks your way or a chest except the one with the fang key I think doesn't make sense, it's just too unlikely to happen randomly. did someone carry them there? it's too videogamey for lack of a better word
David Myers
Because Miyazaki literally cannot into fun or creativity. Why do you think DaS3 literally re-hashes all of DaS1's mechanics?
Lucas Thomas
Most doors aren't locked, they're just theater fire exits.
Asher Evans
NOT ENOUGH BLUD YEET SHEED
Jaxson Peterson
Probably they couldn't get the weapon mechanics to work right.
Oh yeah, because Dark Souls 2 had a flail right? Fuck right off you insufferable ds2 knoblicker
Elijah Jones
> the word is metroidvania and you seem to hate it.
Ryder Stewart
Why does nobody use off-hand crossbows in DaS3?
Parker Lopez
In fairness I can think of nothing gayer than wanting to dual wield katanas
Jayden James
Yeah, but there are wooden doors too. Hmm.. A guy here is carrying a huge ultra greatsword and can cast powerful pyromancies and sorceries.. Hmm.. And there's that locked wooden door over there.. Hmm.. Now what should he do now.. I guess there is no way to pass without a key, what a shame..
Xavier Lopez
You know what DaS2 had though, right? Fucking twinblades and power-stancing. There was no reason why at the very least the twinblades couldn't be added back into the game.
Miyazaki's idea of "fun" weapons are anime flip WAs attached to regular weapons. And those are just gimmicky bullshit that more times than not just open you up to backstabbing or parrying.
David Howard
Pontiff "if "she" has a dick, hit "her" with a brick" Sulyvahn Pontiff "traps get slaps" Sulyvahn Pontiff "feed faggots to maggots" Sulyvahn >Most doors aren't locked Yes but I wanted to show that even if EVERY SINGLE door we encounter was locked initially, it would still make sense. Statues all *blocks ur way*ing all the time is stupid I have never played a single Metroid game and only played a shitty emulated Castlevania once. Games that are about struggle should be immersive imho
Jordan Harris
Yeah that shit's nuts. There's one breakable door in DS2, but even that is due to the player's blows shifting some sand on the other side of it. They should have some doors that can be smashed if you've got X points into STR
Carter Green
>doesn't make sense, it's just too unlikely to happen randomly You think people guarding entrances and stuff doesn't happen in the real world? Hmm.
Kevin Jenkins
askin in the new thread:
playing DaS1 again since I realized I only got halfway through it when it came out. what are the biggest differences between this and 3? DS3 was so forgiving in terms of hollowing and "sins" that you could be pretty reckless in it.
Carter Cruz
If you want a realistic experience maybe you shouldn't be playing fantasy games
Angel Ortiz
Literally, just better graphics, more optimization and less game-breaking bugs. Miyazaki literally just re-made DaS1 on the Bloodborne engine and called it a new game.
Robert Cook
But they're not guarding. Look at their poses. Usually there's also some source of petrification nearby. The game expects us to assume they were petrified in that spot Realism and immersion are not the same thing.
Ryder Allen
Right time to defend THIS. Remember, 'It's a video game' doesn't count.
Lucas Roberts
I do.
Tyler Nelson
disagree.
Austin Ortiz
Nah, there is also the one right above the cardinal tower bonfire
John Evans
Hey guys what's going on- >DaS2 defense force in sperging yet again Nevermind I'll be back later
Mason Reed
>Forgetting the breakable door in the FoFG
Lucas Bennett
There are spooky snek monsters on the other side that will nom your head if you try to crawl through
Nicholas Carter
one of metroidvania characteristics is how your world progress is controlled through your equipment/items.
>Games that are about struggle should be immersive why
Juan Price
You literally don't fit, there's nothing to defend. Because if you're immersed you can feel the struggle along with your character
Andrew Barnes
>Hey fag guard this chest >Fine >SURPRISE IT'S MEDUSA >Oh no arrg death pose
Parker Cox
>enjoying one of the major games discussed in this general is shitposting I thought summer was over.
Logan Jackson
>You literally don't fit, there's nothing to defend. Get your eyes checked fatty.
Anthony Howard
>waaah the door is locked >never mind that big ass broken window and the boxes i could use to get in Defend this, nerds.
Bentley Thompson
What, you think the fat smith will bother to climb his ass in through there? Get real
Luis Hall
she's a defenseless maid that forgets about everything when she dies. defend this
Leo Garcia
time and space is convoluted in Drangleic
Cooper Ward
Do you know what happens to undead who try to climb through windows??
Jeremiah Richardson
I do
Sebastian Long
Maybe you are a contortionist, but not everyone is To be fair, it's the blacksmith you want inside, not yourself.
Samuel Martinez
All right, time for something different. Start posting favorite shit instead.
Carson Davis
You mean the ds2 hate bandwagon you ass. People only bitch about ds2 because someone else said you should. It's a meme
Jeremiah Bennett
First, you want those HD textures from nexus. For hollowing, it's bad to be a hollow. Humanity buffs your item discovery, your curse resistances, it allows you to kindle bonfires to get more estus charges on your respawn or when you rest there, it is also used to reverse hollowing. You cannot also be invaded or summon people.
Bentley Gonzalez
I hate that fat lazy smith first he's too fucking shit to climb through his OWN fucking window, then when YOU go and sort out HIS mess, he treats you like shit, and says you're not worth his fucking time Biggest prick in the game
I don't care if the fire is linked or if an age of dark comes, if this fucker survives I will end it all
Ethan Moore
The only thing that being human does for you there is let you kindle a fire, and turn on PvP features. You can be hollow and still have liquid Humanity for item discovery and resistance bonuses.
William Perry
that's rape user disgusting
Luis Long
It also allows you to get invaded by level 5 dickheads who'll one shot you with their upgraded lighting weapons.
