/dsg/ - Demon's/Dark Souls General

You have a screenshot to prove it? Or are you just remembering wrong?

/tv/ shits on it because of misuse/overuse and memes.

If you're trying to base your enemies in some type of dark fantasy, they should appear as classical mythology dictates, right? The ents in 1 look like ents. The golems look like golems. In 2 a goblin looks more like a ghoul, it just feels disconnected. The translation issue only makes it worse, given how much they look like classic ghouls, and they named it wrong. I might just be ocd, feel free to ignore.

>I came from Berenstein universe.
>Don't fucking move.

Is it possible to make 12 complete distinct meta 120/125 builds in Dark Souls 3? Disregard equipment, focus on stat distribution

they meant goblin as in "yokai"

the enemy appears to be based off of a japanese hungry ghost

/bbg/ would have it, but its the winter lantern about to grab the hunter, frenzy meter nearly full, but during the parry/riposte, the frenzy fills but does no damage in the animation, I guess how you're supposed to deal with them?

why doesn't the first dark soul ever go on sale, man

It's also worth noting that Lovecraft hated few things only niggers more than Victorian aesthetics and Gothic architecture. He's almost autistic in describing Georgian architecture and its elements in his stories.
If Lovecraft ever saw Yharnam, he would get violently sick and fall into a coma.

Good.

None of the DaS3 DLCs have ever gone on sale.

>they should appear as classical mythology dictates, right?
No - the depiction of mythological creatures can vary greatly, there is no "correct" style

Gaijin no rike it?

What do you consider "good" here?

For a modern American, D&D is the correct classical mythology

Shit, it's almost like they were not real so their description varied immensely.

it wouldn't be a bad thing for Lovecraft to be resurrected if it meant he would experience torment, though, it would be better if you could just travel back in time and chase him around his own home while playing oingo boingo. drop chandeliers upon him. swirl a green potion

>still remember first tabletop days
>first few campaigns were led by that DM
>you know, THAT DM

I think you're being stupid on purpose but that was the point I was making

What the hell are you trying to say?

use your brain bitch

To the guy who asked about it in the last thread : I've been thinking of starting to produce my own smut by learning to draw or maybe write about my fantasy scenarios, possibly some stories set around the games I play. The problem is that even though I sometimes like to read some stories around the fantasy, I'm a very visual person and as such I really need to have my fantasies in images. I already described my Chloanne fantasy earlier but I've also had a vision of a female hunter being chased down by an angry mob in the streets of Yharnam, then she trips and is captured by the townsfolk, tied up and then raped numerous before they make her stand on a sideways barrel, throw a thick, coiled rope noose over a lamppost or the railing of a suspended walkway and taunt her as she desperately tries to retain her balance to not lose her foothold and end up strangling to death. And the idea that maybe, just maybe a brave hunter would come to the scene, kill the mad townsfolk threatening her life and then either save her before she loses balance or cut the rope she's trashing her body around in before she loses consciousness from the rope choking her.

stop

You're just a sorcerer trying to bamboozle me.
APAGE SATANA

Japanese people can't even understand good and evil and monotheism, what makes you think they can get lovecraft right? Closest they get is Parasite Eve, Bloodborne is a glib facsimile of Lovecraft

Someone come help me beat the ruin sentinels in DS2
I'm 61 on the ps, plz help
I'll come to wherever you want to put your sign down

Drawfag here, happy to take requests for tommorow, and if possible, someone help me out with the last few bloodborne story chalice dungeons, my arcane build destroyed most of the game DLC included but the dungeons are something else man.

Possibly, i dont really know my yokai names other then those out of old Nagai comics sorry

>implying the good/evil dichotomy and monotheism isn't shit
now youve gone and done it

Matchmaking in DS2 goes by Souls Memory, not SL.

don't stop

There's no good and evil, kiddo. Heh, only power. *unzips dual katanas*

>tfw the DLC isn't on sale

why live?

oh, then soul memory of 309,284
also thank you

>Japanese people can't even understand good and evil and monotheism, what makes you think they can get lovecraft right?
Fuck off Derleth

That's what the smut artists on DeviantArt exist for

What's smut? Is it some 2D fetish porn stuff?

Is it possible to get banned for respec glitch?

ENBfagchloanneguy!

Please help me with BB story chalice's in return for ded chloannes!

I have no new requests, just keeping my request to continue developing the Chloanne pic, it's coming together nicely.

Smut is just a generic term for all kinds of lewd material be it written or visual.

I will never go back to a time where I didn't read this.
What the fuck, man. I think you seriously need help.

>a firekeeper will never give you that 'wants to fuck look'

at least i have this body pillow

I would love to but
1. I'm currently out of town
2. Playing with someone who knows about what I'm into is just gonna end up with me being outed and publicly shamed.

What are you stuck on?
is it the dog?

Why isn't the emerald herald barefoot :(
She's the only level up girl who isn't.

Something with Anastacia, Darkmoon Knightess, and Fair Lady, the three Fire Keepers together. Maybe roasting marshmallows over a Bonfire.

Majula really was the best home location.

I would never dream of outing you, your a fag but a chill one

The ramp up in difficulty, bosses 2 shot me, i think i'm as far as the bloodletting beast who i beat this morning, but i dont know which to do next and every cup i try is either a repeat or a randomly generated one (the latter of which i fucking love but it's enemies are so tough)

Sounds adorable i love it.

Do you have a chalice called Cursed Pthumerian Defilement created?

What do you think of my character?

>It's a [host wants to summon you and cower behind their shield while you clear the level for them] episode
What do you do?

>No "correct" style
Then how are you to differentiate a unicorn from a griffin? Creatures, even those that are made up have characteristics that need to be present in order to establish their provenance. Dark souls basilisk is a frog thing, which is confusing; all other depictions of a basilisk are of a snake/lizard creature, then why call it a basilisk? Because it fits the atmosphere? Why not give it a new name that doesn't have a pre-established image associated with it? Dismissing their misstep in naming as "Its fiction so nothing is set in stone" is the same lazy attitude that caused these issues in the first place. I'm not saying everything should suit my expectations perfectly, but such obvious fuck ups as a misnamed ghoul should at least be recognized.
Inb4 some smartass brings up the actual Japanese basilsk that exists, mixing and matching reality and fantasy in a fantasy game is inappropriate.
Here is a germanic stemming Kobold, no japenese influences, clearly humanoid, the size of a small child, notorious for being tricky and setting traps, some even are sailors or miners. Again, if they are going to act nothing like Kobolds, why give them that name?

is it a self-insert?

Probably because Miyazaki didn't work on the game. It would actually explain that...

If you were into bondage I think you'd know why a hot young woman struggling desperately against her ties/shackles while kicking and trashing her feet as a noose is biting deeper and deeper into her delicate neck is driving me absolutely wild with lust. But not everyone is into it, I understand. I'm not a misogynist but the idea of strong women being made helpless and reduced to fucktoys is also a big turnon, that's why I really like nuLara being choked/abused etc because turning the tables on someone who thinks they are in control and having them by force is very, very thrilling.

yeah, its the one i'm in presently funnily enough

>It's a host is using a straight sword episode

Wow, what a surprise.

>all other depictions of a basilisk are of a snake/lizard creature
WoW

Why wouldn't they use the best and most fashionable weapons?

Japanese people don't understand fantasy, they needed Wizardry and Ultima to teach them.

I could help you with the keeper or with amygdala, but I don't want to fight the dogshit again

a basilisk is actually a chiken/lizard if we gonna be traditional

anyhow i doubt, like the goblins, that they're actually called that in japanese

i love bondage, just not as bad as you i think

>Disregard equipment

>Wizardry
>suddenly remembered Wizardry Online
Stop hurting me.

What about it

Berserk

you saint thank you, pass can be 'dsg'

I dunno, personally I always felt like it was a cold wind that was blowing through Majula. Having played all the games, I think I like the DS1 Firelink Shrine was best for me (until a certain serpent started snoring there), or the Hunter's Dream. Though if I can change my imagination to see Majula as actually being warm, I think I could come to like it better/best.

...

>finally start playing DSII today, after beating DaS like 5 times and not playing a souls game for 2 or 3 years
>offline because filthy pirate
>actually having fun, already about to board the ship in No Man's Wharf after beating The Last Giant

I do have the feeling that I'm doing something wrong because I'm SL30 at this point and still using the first sorcerer staff you get since starting(choose sorcerer as my class). Also, I also noticed that there's way too many mobs, after a while I just find it's more effective to run past everyone I can instead of trying to take everyone down.

There probably is wind coming off of Majula, given it being right next to a large body of water. DaS3 Firelink seems to be much colder, given the copious amounts of stone and constant overcast sky.

An MMO is classic mythology?
Fuck I miss those games, if the passion towards traditional (as close as you can get) accuracy went into From games, I think they would feel more complete and "real" in a fantasy sense. Maybe even an ingame option to turn on/off to display the mobs names. So rather than, "I've killed the ballsack man" its "I've killed the ghoul".
Again, with the translations its difficult to know what they should be since I'm not a nip or a weeb, but they should have at least had someone who gave a shit enough to translate the mobs into more proper fantasy names.

Anyone else not like DS3's Firelink?. It's so damn gloomy, I never like going back there.

Yeah, D3 Firelink is probably worst. Dark, dank, and empty feeling - even when you have people there, it's like they all either dislike each other or ignore each other; no camaraderie at all. You got the bonfire, of course, but it feels like a place that's colder than one bonfire could do anything about.

>you have to collect ashes again

I hate dark souls 3 so fucking much

Man, I'm so bummed for getting your hopes high, but I can't for the life of me find the game disk.

fukkin R.I.P me

post sliders bb pls?

>everyone is excessively sullen
>feels cramped
>monotone rock and stone
>cold and drab colors with absolutely no warmth
>very few reasons to bother going outside
>Fire Keeper is a human doormat
>loud and obnoxious background music
>no connectivity to anywhere else in the world
>no major hidden areas
>Tree of Giants out of nowhere
What other reasons do we have for hating that place?

If any characters had any influence on each other it might be more interesting
Greirat, what happened to Yoel?
Mourne, you getting a bad feeling from Yuria? What about Karla?
Cornyx, aren't those dark pyromancies a little worrying?
Sirris, you wanna go fuck up Leonhard?
Greirat, why does patches know you? What happened?
Andre's dialogue about Hawkwood, and the ash lady made it a little interesting, but the shrine feels like a meeting place for a bunch of people with wildly different ideas in an atmosphere where you can kill for disagreeing, but they get along.

That's how I feel about the Nexus. At least Firelink has a cosy feeling from all the eroded masonry and candles, the Nexus is just empty, sterile, and alienating as fuck. Not to mention, the music is better.

Loading screen whenever you want to go outside, but that's not an aesthetic related reason.

I actually love the DS3 Firelink. The structure and the surrounding landscape feel so nicely desolate and having sanctuary within such an otherwise hostile atmosphere is very comfy. I like the fact that the traders have their own furnished corners and such although it bothers me how some of the NPCs almost sit in the water because that is uncomfy ma dudes.

All the different NPCs that hang out at the Nexus made it feel more cosy for me, and I didn't feel like all of them were actively avoiding each other like in DS3.

I really don't see how that could appeal to anyone. It's like being sealed in a large tomb. You could at least take in the sea air back in Majula.
If I wanted sanctuary in desolate ruins, I'd take DaS Firelink.

Well, not a loading 'screen' but loading fog wall, I mean.

>when you're twinked enough that you can ignore an invader attacking you while you fight cathedral knights, then kill then in 3 R1s and point down
feels good man

how u do dis

I like the coast of Majula but I also like the DS3 Firelink Nexus and also the fact that you can go outside it and get a good feel on it's size.

I don't understand from the outside the DaS3 pvp should be the best but you go the arena there's literally 0 variety it's always the same fucking weapons.

>but you go the arena
There's your problem.
