No

how viable would a str/pyromancy build be in dark souls 3?

I mean, it does work as a ham sandwich. It's a shitty ham sandwich, but it's a ham sandwich. Also,
>food analogies

There was a mention of a DaS1 remaster from last thread.

Does anyone have any more info on it? Rumors, hearsay, anything?

You're right. Hyperarmor is better than poise.

Poise in DaS1 and DaS2 was pretty retarded. Hyperarmor is a lot more fun and balanced.

It's just ENBSisterFag samefagging. Fake tweet. Ignore it.

Is the hunters black bow with poison arrows of dark souls 2 the ultimate ranged weapon of the dark souls series?

I kept it simple since objective thinking isn't Veeky Forums's strongsuit.

That's it.

They'll add a fight with the everlasting dragon. When you beat him you get a item that warps you to "Found Izalith" where you fight the Witch in her original form, Sen, and a primordial serpent.

Confirmed case of git gud.

As if Estoc R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1R1 is better. Top kek, whatever you say little guy.

>Estoc R1

At least use accurate memes and say LKS R1s.

You're leaving out some stuff

>March is the end of the fiscal year for Japanese companies, so a big release announcement in February can clean up their quarterly reports nicely
>PSX coming up, From didn't show off anything at Gamescom this year (where they originally showed off Demon's Souls way back)

It's still not much to go on, but sweet fucking jesus the HYPE. Though honestly I'm hoping its a DeS remaster and not DaS 1.

During weapon attacks, there are certain frames that are "poise frames". Your weapon has a certain amount of poise health during these frames, and other weapons do a specific amount of poise damage. You can get hit and not stagger during poise frames, but if your poise health gets reduced to zero, you stagger. Every new swing or every time you get staggered, your poise health is reset. Your poise stat is the % of poise damage you absorb, like poise armor. At least that's how I understand it.

...

None of that means remaster.

There's literally no indication that it's not just a new game, which would be way better than a remaster anyway.

Reminder that Spongebob-kun was right on everything he said.

DeS remaster would be great, I'd love to add it to my Steam library. Same with a DaS1 remaster, although hopefully its not another shitty port.

In theory it works, in application it's dog shit. They should've kept the original poise system. Weapon speed, range and lag fuck hyper armor up beyond recognition. It's dogshit.

Anyone who disagrees is a short sword spam fag.

Poise literally hurt ultras more than hyperarmor did, ultras were shit in 1 beyond certain ones like the BKGA and Curved Sword/Katana users could stack poise far easier than other players to spam R1 and go for poisestabs better than anyone else could.

>thinks a DeS remaster would end up on Steam
oh boy its this retard again

You're completely correct, it just makes some sense that it'd be a remaster of DeS since they're closing all the servers between 3 different companies, even though fan outcry has kept those servers up for well beyond their intended lifespan. If it WERE a new game, they wouldn't want to muddy the water by effectively pissing off their longest-standing fans.

Though it could even be nothing, just Sony exerting pressure on Bamco and Atlus to close down their servers so it doesn't take the full brunt of the fans.

>implying it wouldnt be on steam this time around

wew lad, how do you carry that much autism around.

>Sony co-developed the game
>made the mistake of not carrying the full International release the first time around
>it would be an easy system seller if kept exclusive to PS4 just like BB
Do you still think Bloodborne is getting a PC release too?

Demon's Souls was financed and co-developed by Sony. It'll come to Steam the same day that God of War, Bloodborne, and Horizon: Zero Dawn do.

>If it WERE a new game, they wouldn't want to muddy the water by effectively pissing off their longest-standing fans.
>implying anyone but a few autists would give a shit about DeS
And I say that as someone who imported it.

People need to stop pulling shit out of their ass before there's any real evidence.

Are all the keys needed in Irithyll Dungeon located somewhere within the dungeon or am I going to have to progress into Profaned Capital and then backtrack?

>easy system seller

Sorry, it's not RDR, DeS has a much smaller, concentrated fanbase. A re-release would more than likely be on multiple platforms.

There's one in the profaned capital, lets you get Karla and some ashes.

To my knowledge they're all in the dungeon.

There seems to be a bug where everyone points down automatically when they kill someone as a group, particularly when no mobs are left and the group consists of 3 players.

Technically the key for Karla is in dungeon but is only accessible through Profaned Capital.

Jailers Key iirc is in the Profaned Capital.

1's in capital, it's kinda in dungeon location-wise but you access it via capital.

There's at least one that you can only get by going into Propane Capital. Not like Propane Capital is all that long anyways, you can run past all but two of the enemies that you encounter on the way to get that key.

I accidentally got into NG+ before doing the DLC in DS1. What exactly am I in for lads?

>implying anyone but a few autists would give a shit about DeS
Are you fucking autistic? The game had a million sales in its first year in America, as a brand new IP from a niche middleware developer, and is now the starting point for one of the biggest megahit franchises of this decade.

you don't understand how system sellers work, do you. And still, it's a Sony co-developed game and Sony would presumably take over all the distribution rights on a re-release, they have no reason to put it on PC. It's literally the same case as Bloodborne.

I've had a jillion failed invasions today because I was playing like ass with mediocre weapons and a build that doesn't even have the regular NG rings it needs yet. I only got one point down, oddly enough. Lots of waves and hosts just running the fuck away like they're on a timer to beat the level.
Also, fuck the Irythill Straight Sword. This thing can hit you across the entire fucking map and I felt like an asian next to a black pornstar with my broadsword.

Nobody would give a shit about DeS if they announced something new in stead.

>hail parry
>land it but take partial damage
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

... which is why it would make sense for them to release that remake, largely handled by Sony/JPStudio, while the main team focuses on making their new IP.
Do you wear a bicycle helmet when you're not riding a bike, user?

Thanks. I wasn't thinking it would be hard or even an inconvenience, I'm just the type to autistically clean out each area before moving forward. I would've spent forever poking around for keys that weren't there to be found.

Manus might be a tough time, watch out for the sorcerers too.

So we're, once again, at no reason it would happen at all other than "but they might!?"

In other hearts, Vandal Hearts III might be coming out next year. Why? Why not!?

Sanctuary Guardian can be annoying, Blue Guts is pretty much the same, Smaug is the same except any hit after the earrape debuff is an instant kill and you can't facetank Manus in full heavy armor anymore.

>hearts
I'm not sure if that was autocorrect, my backspacing or a combination of the two that fucked it.

Nobody's saying its a confirmed thing you immense retard, just pointing out a couple reasons why it would be good timing. Goddamn, go get your 24th chromosome checked out

No, it's what makes me special.

Why the fuck does this boss annihilate me every single run. I can get through every other boss in the game with maybe 3 or 4 deaths max but this fucker gets 10 plus every time.

well, at least you're honest

Get yourself gravelorded before you proceed for the best experience.

Light the torches, brah. Alternatively, summon Lucatiel, she's really good in this boss fight.

DeS doesn't fucking need a remaster

t. playing it right now

Get Luet before Lucatiel, at least Luet doesn't have brain damage

Gravelorded DLC is the most frustrating shit ever, with the chained prisoners *blocking ur path* while you're dealing with the nuke-throwing mages.
Otherwise, getting Gravelorded is a lot of fun, Anor Londo is a great gravelord area.

Well it'll definitely need one after they kill the servers
But I'd say having it locked to a last-gen console is a good enough reason to update it, especially since that's been Sony's MO for most of the PS4's lifespan. That said, putting it on PSN proper would be good enough, none of that streaming emulation shit.

In even more other news, every Gamespy game MIGHT be getting a remake!

It's not confirmed, but let me post about it every thread.

>It's not confirmed, but let me post about it every thread.
Oh, I see, in your immense autism you think every user that talks about a subject is your personal rival who follows you through the internet just to talk about subjects you don't enjoy talking about.

Weird.

I think faggots such as yourself like to make baseless speculations in an attempt to go "hah I was right" when it happens and to be anonymous when it doesn't.

I'm off, it's 5:20 AM. Feel free to dream about that DeS remake, it's the only time it'll feel real.

You're both faggots, it might happen and it might not. Agnosticism is the only correct ism

Am I the only one who listens to all the NPC dialogue patiently every time and doesn't skip or walk away mid sentence and is never rude?

The gutter is unironically my favorite area in the series

...

Question.

Just started DS3 and would like to know wich is a good mid-end level weapon. I used the greatsword and bastard sword on DS1 and 2 and took me up to NG+ but some people recomend some weird weapons like estoc and mace, what some call "meme" weapons, are they really that good?

I still haven't managed to summon the NPC that only appears when you light every torch in that level. darksouls2.wikidot.com/gutter-denizen
>zipline
I didn't even know the Gutter had a fucking zipline.

Is there a checklist of all dark souls 2 equipment according to the ingame sorting order? It's a pain in the ass to try and find what I'm missing.

mufer.github.io/Dark-Souls-II-Scholar-of-the-First-Sin-Cheat-Sheet/

I already have all spells. I'm just missing farmable armor and weapons.

...

>version from literal months ago

Have the updated version

Mace and estoc are top tier for PvE in 2, but "only" decent in 3. If you want to trivialize PvE in 3 as best you can, pick up a straight sword or greatsword.

As always, any non-joke weapon will get you to the endgame without significant trouble. Use whatever you like. Astora Greatsword is a lot like the old DS1 Greatsword, but with a higher emphasis on Dex. DS3 Bastard Sword is pretty cool too, you can space launch people with it now.

got the DS2 Tier list, also?

I'm feeling nice today so sure.

Sunset Armour is fucking beautiful

The gutter was Objectively the best place to invade. I actually can't stress enough how fun it is to plunge attack people while ziplining out of fucking nowhere.

Weapons that are shit tier in duels aren't necessarily for PvE and invasions.

thanks user. no spell tiers, though?

If you guys were looking for a guide on how to beat Dark Souls bosses as a completely new player would this structure work?

>"Theory" section with how to avoid attacks, with visual aids using basic motion graphics
>In practice section showing how to dodge the attack in game

Then
>Methods of killing the bosses
>IE: Method 1: Plunging Attack on Repeat on Taurus Demon
>Method 2: Gold Pine Resin
>Method 3: Ring Out Cheese

Would you think that structure would work? Or is it too much information for most people?

The maker of the DS2 list never included them.

So they ARE joke weapons.

Will do, What about Great Club?

I'd sure like to see a guide on the most effective ways, but you'd probably have to cover caster/str/dex builds for it to be universally useful.

No, by joke weapons I mean shit like Broken Straight Sword. Meme weapons are a different category entirely. You can use them, and they'll get the job done, but everyone's going to make fun of you for it.

I think the fundamentals will apply to everything. There's realistically no difference between a caster build or strength build. You wait for an opening, and take your swing or cast your spell.

The focus will be on melee for sure, but I could do another playthrough with magic fairly easily.

>Broken straight sword
>joke weapon

People are so obsessed with copying 120SL duelfag builds despite playing PvE that they neglect incredibly good tools like silvercat, slumbering dragoncrest, rapport, hidden body, dark hand, storyteller etc.

Anyone who is competent knows how good any of those are, t.SL120 gone through NG+7 Rapport is the most useful of those by far.

>but everyone's going to make fun of you for it
Only meta faggots who can't imagine using anything other than top/high tier weapons.

>friend challenges me to beat Dark Souls using only the Drakesword
>IE: First or Drakesword only
>do the standard early game stuff like getting firekeeper souls, grass crest, etc.
>manage to find a Black Knight Halberd
>manage to find a Channelers Trident
>manage to get Balder Side Swords back to back

Keep in mind, I've played Dark Souls over 40 times through, and these have -never- dropped for me. I'm mad as fuck.

Trident has dropped from that first Channeler a few times for me, and I never played DaS obsessively or anything.

>try and fail several times to make my very first character look more Asian-esque to match the name
>forget about it
>think about starting a new build recently, look at my favorited faces
>the attempt that I made at making a Friede face long ago is a lot more Asian-looking once you change the hair and eye color to match

It's times like these that I'm glad that I save my custom face attempts even though this one looked nothing like Friede.
