How far would you make it into Dark Souls IRL with your current strength?
I maybe I could handle the undead grunts, but would be crippled by the knight armor, I would probably get my ass handed to my by the Taurus Demon in Undead Burg.
>Implying I could get past the undead asylum.
what the fuck kind of dumbass plays as knight? You go as warrior so you can not get stabbed and die. Rolls > armor.
>2016
>still playing video games
Don't talk to me or my son about making it ever again.
>2016
>not playing video games
Don't talk to me or any human being every again.
No one can roll so perfectly so many times. I don't think you can make it past the intro without being able to roll like a motherfucker, we're probably all fucked.
>dark souls
Why do people play this fantasy trash?
Literally all I play:
>Halo
>Call of Duty
>Battlefield
>Rainbow Six
>Division
>Grand Theft Auto
It honestly bewilders me that any grown man would play anything else.
you're literally what's ruining vidya. Why wouldn't with all the technology at our disposal not make games the most crazy impossible shit ever?
>halo excluded
This bait isn't even good.
I think that if I was a mercenary, swung fast enough to hit enemies before they hit me, and stay away from any alternate paths, I'd make it to the first boss.
>Why do people play this fantasy trash?
>Posts a different kind of fantasy trash
Ok
>muh fairies
>muh swords
>muh demons
>muh dragons
Listen to yourself, you fool.
Even since I was a little kid, I thought games like Zelda and such were gay as fuck.
I played shit like Syphon Filter, 007, Perfect Dark, Tony Hawk
Oh and Mario
>people who cant enjoy good videogames, lift, and have a social life at the same time
cmon guize it's not like it's hard, you could be having tons of fun instead of being a bunch of whiners
I would pick a pyromancer and make it far into the game playing like a coward bitch.
implying i get to revive at the bonfire, i can see myself killing the taurus demon after a couple months of training
this is also implying that the enemies have the same mechanical reactions as they do in the game, i'd probably die a couple hundred times on the first level just trying to perfect my rolling
Also you could pussy out and learn some of the spells to ease your way into the game.
If we look at it as "placing" a real human being inside the game, i can see myself doing it after while, but if it's 100% real as in "enemies and bosses have total free will" then it'd be fucking impossible
This fucking shitty game. The character's reaction time was so fucking slow. I mean I probably would die at the first bosses just like anyone else here, but fuck I would have faster reflexes than the sluggish protagonist
>mfw I think I'm actually decent at sword fighting because growing up me and my retarded friends used to legit fight with wooden nerf swords and I always won
I'm fast yet injury prone, so I'd probably dislocate my knee after jumping on the stray demon and never leave the asylum
>I'm bad at a game so it's shit
>video games
>implying youre gonna make it
>not being fit enough to be a bandit, have the master key and cheese the taurus demon stunlocking his arse thanks to the gold pine resin
>be knight
>be bumblefuck in heavy armor
>after hundreds of deaths and estus protein shakes, become swole enough to wear the armor
>finally leave undead asylum
>by the time I beat Gwyn I am the fittest person in Lordran
All it takes is a little time, brehs.
kek.
>infinite lives
>hard
>Implying i wouldnt be smough.
>Im all mass baby
>first person shooters and GTA
Hi Chad
I play Dark Souls 2 and I'm a pure hexer.
Yup, no need for strength. All attunement, intelligence and faith.
iirc doesn't lobosjr have a no shield no rolls run? I know someone is doing bosses that way for ds3. Saw him do old demon king no rolling/no damage taken.
Who here DS3?
>FUCK YOU NAMELESS KING REEEEEEEE
ow dude, you're cutting me with your edge
I can't even get past the two gargoyles on the roof.
Bought the game four years ago.
I can't even do it virtually nigger.
revert to human
summon solaire and lautrec
literally let them win the fight for you
Will give it a try tonight...maybe.
I've just started The Witcher 3 though.
I'm smarter than you, so I could not only make it to the Taurus demon, but I'd immediately climb that ladder next to the door I came through to get on the ramparts, hit him with that drop attack from above when he gets close, scamper back up the ladder, and repeat until he's dead.
Then I'd fall into some trap and die shortly afterwards.
You forgot fifa
...
i actually beat dark souls without dying
this is Veeky Forums and we all avoid talking about fitness? its not vidya cmon
Dark Souls is MASSIVELY overrated by a bunch of 2hardkore4u neckbeards just because of the (admittedly refreshing) difficulty level.
Witcher III, and even Elder Scrolls games are better.
And if I catch you paying full price for Overwatch, which is nothing more than a half built multiplayer mode with the depth of Paris Hilton, I'll slap the shit out you.
>Tony Hawk
How does a franchise that was so good go so wrong?
I don't even care about the difficulty, I just thoroughly enjoy the art style and the world they've built
plus it reminds me of D2, which I miss
What I wanna know is how would the average Veeky Forumsizen fair in Bloodborne? Surely with blood steroids we could seek Paleblood and transcend the hunt, right?
Can we summon each other to partake in jolly cooperation?
The graphics are also unmatched.
The world building was shit. They give you VERY little explanation of anything, drop you in the middle of stuff with no idea who you are, where you are, where you're going, why you're going there, or anything else.
It's the biggest "Who are these people and why should I care" scenario I've ever came across in video games, and couldn't be bothered to give a fuck. Glad I only rented it.
And don't give me the "YOU'VE GOT TO READ THE ITEM DESCRIPTIONS" shit I've gotten from other fanboys. Anyone you expects you to get the narrative of a VIDEO GAME from goddamn reading has missed the point of both video and game. Thank God the series is over, now maybe FromSoftware can make the Armored Core game that doesn't suck that we all deserve.
idk, the ambiguity just made me more curious about everything. Different strokes
If you didn't enjoy unraveling the mystery and developing a connection to the universe deep enough to read the lore and piece together the puzzle, it's not for you.
Fuck off and get gud
Oops I didn't mean to click that pic. Shit
>ywn be reborn as a great one and lead humanity to the next step in their evolution
Dang it
>no image matches

>Canada Dry
Besides that, I plenty enjoyed doing shit like that in Planescape: Torment (which I hear is getting a sequel or some shit), possibly because of the MUCH better characters and character interaction that didn't just seem like a giant fuck you to anyone who actually wanted to know what the fuck was going on.
You described exactly why the world building is amazing
You will understand one day, it only takes time
"Accidentally" click some more pics then.
Gotta leave humanity behind, right Good Hunter?
>no one posting this gem
>PLATE ARMOUR
>HEAVY
FUCKING NORMIES
>the story doesnt get spoonfed to me through a on rails cutscene rollercoaster ride so the game is bad
Just fuck off already

We need a hipster containment board

Just stop
>Halo included
Dragons dogma blows them all out of the water if you know how to actually play it
the whole point of dark souls is that you're undying, and that you keep coming back until you succeed or hollow out
so it would have more to do with your mental strength than your physical one
>the whole point of lifting is that you keep coming back until you succeed or hollow out
>so it would have more to do with your mental strength than your physical one
...
thats a good point
It's about persistence in the face of humiliation and adversity, the enemies in the game, the hollow are people who haven't had the willpower to carry on and have given up all hope.
It's about getting the shit knocked out you, then standing right the fuck back up and walking back into the breach to get your shit kicked in again and again. People flood the forums asking for help "how do I beat X?" they think everyone who has made it has 1 clever trick to do it, but there is no easy trick, the only way forward is to persist and git gud. Many give up all hope and put the game down upon realising this, only the strong endure.
Fuck me, Dark Souls is the Veeky Forumstest game ever.
I'd break my fucking legs trying to drop attack the Asylum demon, for one thing
>literally all I play are casual games where you can't lose even if you try
what a fucking faggot
>Fuck me, Dark Souls is the Veeky Forumstest game ever.
truth
Dragons dogma is so underrated. Between Dark souls 1 and DD
Dark souls is better at difficulty and I think the story aspects and atmosphere is superior. Gameplay wise DD is fucking incredible one of the best games I've played in that aspect. Plus the waifu game is rediculous
I can bench 170kg, so I bet could one-hand the Zwei, and I do cardio, so I should have enough endurance not to fat roll. Bring it on.
i guarantee i am better looking, stronger, and more successful than you
:)
the game is literally "keep dying until you perfect this stage." For every single stage. Games like Fallout, Witcher take a huge poo atop Demon Souls gameplay
Obviously.
It's Veeky Forums.
We're all more successful than each other.
have you tried gitting gud?
i often clear levels on the first try in my first playthrough
there are very few inherently unfair things in souls, 90% of the times you die it's because you fucked up
What is the ideal knight workout Veeky Forums?
it's a style that's dying out. it's very arcade-y. if it's not your cup-o-mr-t that's your prerogative but the whole "perfect the level" shit is as old as pacman. autism aside its basically the whole logic behind making sonic insanely fast for the purpose of speed runs. you just keep doing it until it's perfect. comparing open world immersive RPGs to it isn't even a fair comparison because they shouldn't really even be considered similar games
Elder Scrolls are not in any way even remotely approaching "better" than Souls. I can give you Witcher 3 if you prefer that kind of fantasy to what Souls provides, but ES? Kek.
Taurus Demon would get his ass handed to him. My gf beat him her first time playing with no hints from me and no deaths against him or otw to him. I was dumbfounded as fugg but damn if I didn't give her a good dicking for being alpha as fugg against an enemy that gave all kinds of "l337"neckbeards trouble on youtube.
Just circle strafe his ass and light him up with fire.
>implyjng I wouldn't patiently prepare a full amount of pyromancy casts before trying that fat fugger
>going against the undead without fire, ever
Gtfo
Rolling would be almost useless since there are no i-frames irl, you'd have to actually dodge shit.
>dark souls
>IRL
/v/ pls go and stay go
Are the enemy confined to the game move sets or are they adjust for irl? If the former , I would make it pretty far
...
You should be able to easily handle the zwei, most people can. Typical zweihanders only weigh about 8lbs, if they were as heavy as souls games make them seem no one would use them.
rolling and backflips are ruining a lot of games for me. Dragon age 1 was cool as fuck. I pirated DA2 to check on the game first and glad I did. Pick mage, play for 2 minutes. My character starts to do these crazy fucking pirouettes . HELL NO, fuck you. Uninstall, do not touch again.
I hate unnecessary combat rolls.
Lobos has beat the game in every way possible.
Worth buying? I'm on the fence right now and don't know if I should start playing a souls game again. Is the pvp any good? Are Dex/Str quality builds viable?
DS1 was all about the DEX.
>implying dark magic wasn't the way to go for pvp after oolacile
Ds1 or 2?
>All these fags ripping on Dark Souls, listing the games they play
>No Fallout
I played both but I didn't really like DS2. I'm asking for DS3.
Heard ds 3 is good
git gud skrub and stop being casul
Why is the Souls fanbase the only fanbase that constnatly infestse other boards? Can't you manchildren just stay in your containment board?
This game is pure trash, also NeoGAF approved.
As a fitfag I have high standards, I wouldn't even gift this game someone I hate.
Literally 14 FPS Jap trash with monotonous as fuck gameplay.
Even the worst Zelda (Skyward Sword) is a million times better and has way more creative level design elements.
Something like Metroid Pirme makes it looks like utter dog shit. Or Kamiya games.
As someone who hates 1 and 2 because they are simply overhyped 6/10 shit.; I actually kinda enjoyed 3. Fixes a lot of flaws, for example shots and blacksmiths are all crammed into your hubworld and you have access to fast travel immediately, bonfires are also more common. This means => less waste of life time.
Also better design, less cryptic and more polished.
Still kinda shit.
SL1 no hit no heal mode
...
>Why is the Souls fanbase the only fanbase that constnatly infestse other boards?
Are we browsing the same board? There was a Vanilla WoW nostalgia thread this morning. This is still Veeky Forums and most people on here just used to or still are playing video games. Get over it.
Maybe because we all want to forget Fallout exists because of 4? Especially fans.

Candle-
On fifth playthrough when you know everything inside out?
Because otherwise that's impossible since the game is pure trial and error trash with awfully ridiculous telegraphing.
Literally every game is trial and error, except mayb e rogue-likes.
>not being a cleric and going on a holy crusade/pilgrimage, completing the game wearing only your holy robe the entire time
