The only thing remotely interesting about this Remaster is the fact that their is going to be a version on handheld. Otherwise, Dark Souls did not need to be "Remastered" and this new version (which is not being made by Fromsoft) is only likely going to fuck everything up.

Hot fucking damn mark you fuck. I didn't even care that much that you deleted the dump but after this you should just go oven yourself.

Now my post has no context, but I'll post it anyway. It's to whoever was 1a6c9c.

>I legitimately feel if you're getting invaded, you should be having your anus clenched because its meant to be a big alarm in your face saying "someone is here who wants to fuck you up." No nonsense, this makes the victory feel so much better, and far more memorable.

Yeah, it makes for a unique experience. However, the number of people invading can be a problem, and I know one answer is to just git gud but at the same time you still want an enjoyable experience and not just a dick up your ass. I remember the very first time I got invaded, it was by a hacker. He didn't even do anything funny to make it worth my while, either. To me, the ideal invasion experience is still an "OH FUCK" one, but one where the invader has to be smart and think of an ambush spot, and using minions to make everything an uphill battle instead of just bum-rushing the host for rape and plunder. My most enjoyable invasion experiences have been where the invader focused on doing that, whether I won or lost.

it honestly needs an overall balance to make dark magic and WotG builds less broken in pvp. not even much just a gentle nerf, because honestly in the latter months playing pvp the variety in builds got so low because those two are so so so much easier to wreck with in the context of a 1v1 honorduel.

>>14242020

I probably would've been pretty interested in 2022 or so. Now, I'm still interested to see what comes of it, but I'm not that excited to play it.

Has there ever been a remaster where they made gameplay changes? I thought gameplay would get left alone.

There's plenty to be fixed, but it's a bad rabbit hole to go down. They'd undoubtedly fuck up other things in the process and it's probably best to leave it as it was.

>>14242039

Agreed, which is why Sen's Fortress and the Silver Knight archers were the best places to invade. The 3v1 gets properly balanced out by the enemies in those situations.

No PC port confirmed?

>>14242059

Dark wood grain ring was an excellent counter to most magic. My builds always included it once the meta started to settle.

It's an annoying ring to fight against, but it was my only good way of dealing with magic. Even the crest shield got wrecked by stronger spells.

>>14242075

PC's confirmed. Bullshit titles everywhere like "coming to Switch!" and "Sony presents", it's all bullshit.

>>14242075

PC is confirmed

>>14242127

It's been pretty vague. What's known is in OP, plus 60fps and the obvious graphical overhaul.

>>14242132

>>14240922

I just wanna punish sinners in the name of purest girl again. 3 ruined best covenant.

>>14242106

>>14242109

Nice, I keep seeing videos here and there saying, PS4, Xbone and NSw as if it was the full platform lineup.

>>14242127

I heard combat would stay the same, wouldn't mind Riposte and Backstab being changed to the way they work in newer games, as long as parry doesn't get fucked up like in DS2.

>>14242187

Well it's basically confirmed on everything, sad thing is that people who owned the original port won't get an upgraded version. Although I would like to see cloud saves implemented on the PC version.

>>14242190

>>14242194

Make a meta thread for it, don't ruin the DaS thread because you don't know how to read the rules.

>>14242196

I had the same problem with DMC4 and DMC4SE.

>>14242196

Shouldn't everyone who owned the first get the remaster if the PC players get it? Then the remaster would bring in almost no revenue at all.

>>14242206

Didn't DMC4SE have some sort of small discount?

>>14242220

NOPE, none at all.

>>14242216

Well of course not, but I do think there should be a small discount of sorts for those who owned the original.

>>14242224

Huh, well that's just a crock of bullshit. Although it's to be expected knowing Capcom.

>>14242225

I wouldn't be against that, but I doubt they'll do it since they don't have any working system for tracking PS3/360 purchases and won't want to give a platform-exclusive discount.

>I have to buy it again

>They have the audacity to pull this off after selling DaS2 twice

This series was a mistake and should have stopped at DaS1.

>>14242233

True, I suppose it wouldn't be fair to PS3/Xbox 360 owners. Either way I wonder if they're only gonna buff the graphics or if they'll rebalance some things.

>>14242245

>>14242240

I agree it's greedy but whoever bought DaS2 twice deserves it.

>>14242141

>e-

>>14242020

>Dark Souls did not need to be "Remastered"

It kinda does since the PC port is rubbish and is only saved through a fan fix. It will also bring the online back to life.

>>14242260

>Good post

>Using the cucked version of a site

>>14242246

Rebalancing would be a giant can of worms. I'd like to see them try it. I'd be fine with reducing poise to hyper armor, but then the weights of the gear wouldn't be justified. And tons of other little things, but I'm sure plenty of people even disagree with something as reasonable as a poise rework.

>>14242272

Yeah, I kinda hope they just make the PC port not broken.

Will they fix the fucking massive unfinished portions of the late game?

>>14242262

I'm gay and a faggot, why is this a bad thing?

>>14242278

Very doubtful but I think remastering with a new Lost Izalith plus improved Archives and TotG would be incredible.

>>14242290

cause you don't get to see a cute panda

>>14242293

And I think the only people who would care about them being changed are a minority and pretty dumb in the first place.

>>14242310

It's okay, anon, maybe some day you'll overcome crippling homosexuality. But not today.

>>14242314

Fuc you nigger. I want a complete game. Not some half finished slop.

>>14242252

>Happens automatically when you copy/paste a post.

But it doesn't?

>>14242290

>Asking to be spoonfed

>>14242288

Well, yes, but why not post the superior version in the first place unless he's a faggot who can't get to it himself or a double faggot who wants to share with people who can't get to it themselves.

>>14242320

What's the point of this now? You already posted the shit version and anyone who wants to use the better one can fix it themselves. >>14242288

>>14242339

not him, but I will admit that it'd be a lot hotter if about 20 pounds were taken off of mildred there

>>14242339

>if you don't like ugly shit ur a faggot

>>14242342

Shit, when I said "cared" I meant the people who would be mad with the changes. I agree with you, I want to see them redone.

>Copy/paste thing

I dunno man, it's happened to me before.

>>14242348

Just take them off with your mind.

>>14242350

Don't get nervous, homo.

>>14242367

No, I was agreeing with myself, I just wanted to add that next line. See:

>hurr I come to /v/ for the porn

>>14242265

While the initial port was poor the fan fix works great. The "Remastered" version is likely going to be garbage.I know people like to meme but Dark Souls is one of may favorite games of the last decade. I just do not trust a third party to respect the property. The graphics whoring of fedora tipping PCmustards was never something I cared about. KB/M purist have autism and should consider the helium technique.

Think ragdolls will be removed? What about AI being improved?

>>14242513

I've actually never heard of this company screwing up a project. I think, at worst, we get the same game, but prettier and with more ganks, which is what's being promised.

>>14242141

He managed to make her look so good. Truly fantastic.

Unless they fix the trash PvP(they won't,) then it simply is not worth it. I'm not even a PvPfag, but there are plenty of them, and they almost all started with DaS. The PvP is so incredibly broken that the only joy to be had with it is purely FROM how broken it is.

>>14242601

I maintain that invading in the right areas can make it entertaining. I've never thought much of dueling, though.

They're switching to dedicated servers. I don't know how that will affect DaS PvP.

>>14242513

> I just do not trust a third party to respect the property

So it has been confirmed that an outside studio is helping From with this remaster?

>>14241996

Will they turn the graphics on?

>>14242640

QLOC is doing more of it than From is.

>>14242640

I'm rather certain of it considering Hidetaka Miyazaki public statements when asked about remasters.

http://archive.is/GTteS

>>14242654

>>14242653

I didn't know if it was still considered rumor or not, I guess it'll be a basic remaster then.

>>14242513

what a joke, From has already ruined the franchise. No way somebody else could do a worse job than they have.

>>14242601

>>14242623

Invading has the potential to be interesting but the system is fundamentally broken. No reasonable amount of getting gud can deal with an invader with +10 armour and a +5 lightning weapon that takes 5 backstabs to kill and one or two attacks of any kind to kill you.

>>14242695

The reverse is also true, a 4v1 gank is an automatic loss unless the squad tries to clown around too much.

The devs will have no interest in fixing that, but they might address twinking. But since they fucked it up in 2, and then fucked it up again in 3, I seriously doubt they'll manage to do it properly now.

Literally all they have to do is assign a number value to each piece of equipment (plus its # of upgrades) and factor that in with SL to determine whom someone is able to play with/against. It'd be so easy. The values could be decided upon in a couple of afternoons.

>>14242141

What blows my mind is how he deletes threads to hide his shittery.

Everytime.

>>14242786

What would stop an invader from switching to better equipment after finding a victim? Or idling naked waiting to be Invaded? If you change it so that all items currently carried add to the total, then players have are punished for picking up drops. It could work if it takes the highest possible "soul power sum" of equip in inventory equipped at once instead of adding up everything carried.

>>14242954

>It could work if it takes the highest possible soul power sum of equip in inventory equipped at once

This seems like the best solution to me.

>>14242954

Sorry typing from phone so it's really badly worded but you get the idea. I think we've imagined something similar in response to the idiocy that was soul memory.

>>14242997

idk man i just got fucked on most of my ds3 builds with the "where the fuck is everybody" mode of not upgrading at the right time or not being the appropriate level as dictated by the mob of fags that run the game.

>>14243172

They did it in a pretty unforgiving way, if I remember right. The guy with the +6 will never see the guy with the +7 or something like that. This one would be more forgiving.

The bigger question is why is OP spacing his text like a redditer?

>>14243376

OP is Mark.

Dark Souls: Prepare to Buy (Again)

>>14243388

I believe you

Is it just a retexture?

>>14242786

What do you mean by it was fucked up in 3?

>>14245650

Nevermind, I don't think they did, I just misunderstood the system.

For me, they'd have to fix the level ranges for PvP or I would just play the original again instead.

If you invade as a blue, you get paired with people 70 levels lower than you, and if you invade as a red, you invade people 100s of levels higher. They get caught up in the shaky morality element of it (you're the BAD guy, so you get to fight someone SL 500, and you're the GOOD guy, so you get to fuck up this SL 50) and forgot to give anyone a fight worth fighting. The only way to fight someone at your lvl is through boring honorabu duels.

Dark Souls 3 got it closer to correct, but still refused to do something symmetrical. You're still invading people 30 levels above you but only 10 below. Beats fighting people 200 levels above you.

pandering cash grab, MP was never meant to be convenient or something you could do with your friends reliably.

>>14241996

>Dark Souls is a game that most of us enjoyed

Yeah sure.

>>14246417

>Do you normally play connected to a server when 'solo'?

Yes, just like every other Souls game. Were you under the impression you aren't connected to a server when you play DaS? Offline mode is still just as plausible as it was before.

By 6-person multiplayer, do you mean 6 player coop, or 3v3 pvp?

>>14246959

Going by DaS3, it's 4v1 and 4v2.

Apparently this is a thing.

>>14246417

It means instead of peer-to-peer connection for the online (multiplayer, messages, bloodstains, ghosts), it will be hosted on an official server. Which should mean better online (no host advantage, etc), but subjects the game to eventual online death like DeS is facing at the end of Feb.

>>14246969

Is this what you wanted?

>>14247030

>>14241996

>Dark Souls is a game that most of us enjoyed and put a lot of time into.

I still don't understand why. It was fun for a playthrough, which got me about 60 hours of playtime. But I really cannot comprehend how people played this game through several times.

>>14250856

I doubt you saw most of the game then, even with a master key.

>>14250891

I did the painting level, and the thing where you go back to the prison from the start of the game. I also know about the tree thing in Blight Town. And the thing that turns you into some furry abomination. What did I miss?

>>14250938

Did you fight head trap/join him on his cause of spreading moon estrogen? Did you save Solaire and have him fight Gwyn with you? Did you partake in enough jolly co-operation to get the power of the sun in you hands? Did you help onion bro on his quest, inadvertently turning him hollow? Did you get infected with soul parasites so you could get a maggot kick? Did you get the ninja-flip ring?

>>14250965

>I unironically liked the DLC most

I played before the DLC was out, so I never did it. Couldn't find the motivation to even start the game up again to play it.

>>14250977

I remember jerking off to the trap a lot. I figured you could save Solaire, but again, never bothered with a second playthrough. The co-op thing seemed like a grind, so no. Yeah I helped onion guy. Did the parasite thing. Didn't get the ninja flip ring because it also seemed like a grind IIRC, but I knew about it.

>>14250997

Now that I think of it the two fights I loved the absolute most were the two I did unprepared.

The first one being the stray demon with level 0 leather armor/ no shield to block magic.

The second was Manus because I didn't know there was atalisman behind a wall to block the magic shit he throws at you and assumed you just had to frame perfect roll it.

Maybe this game is more fun with a glass cannon build in general?

>>14251038

Have you not done an SL1 run yet? It's fun.

>>14251076

I hope so

>>14251076

It needs denuvo for more enjoyable multiplayer experience without cheaters.

>>14251150

>>14251138

Say goodbye to mods.

>>14251173

Your comment on parrying got me thinking about enemy speed. I wonder if they'll just speed all the enemies up to make it more like Bloodborne/DaS3. I wouldn't play it in that case.

With the change in networking, there's a possibility they'll change parrying to compensate, because if online parries work like offline parries in DaS1, we'd never miss one.

I recently got Dark Souls 3 + all DLC for PC(I think, I mean, it was the game + season pass according to the package), going not completely blind but I wonder, right now I entered road of sacrifices and I am beginning to feel a little underpowered, going mostly for a strength build, got a Mace, Claymore and other stuff, recommended stuff to pick up on the earlier areas? I haven't defeated the giant tree thing yet, and no, I am not interested in PvP.

>>14263550

The most important thing for you to know is that armor is retarded in that game, Don't waste level up's for heavier armor since it hardly makes a difference.

>>14263652

I have never been a fan of heavy armor, but I really can't stand not killing stuff in 1 hit after I cleared the area, I also need to begin searching for whatever I need to upgrade the estus effect because I am using them a little too much in some areas.

>>14253164

>tfw Matosis's videos are going to continue to get so exponentially longer to produce that one day he's just going to disappear into a void of his own autism and never be heard from again.

>>14242109

What? why?

>>14263885

If Pannen can still produce videos I would say Matosis has a long way to go.

>>14271928

>implying it won't just be a half-assed texture up-res for enough textures to make a slight difference in visuals

>>14271928

It's listing at $40 unless you decide to go for their retarded special editions.

Dark Souls is not a hard game. I can't say it is even a good game. It is just a boring ass puzzle game, if you can even call it that. Puzzle games tend to be randomized and have variety in them. In Dark Souls you just have to remember what is behind the next corner, once you know, it is as good as passed. The gameplay you need to master so you won't die as long as you know what's next is minimal. This is why runs with no armour and shitty weapon is so spread. Because you just need to remember. It is literally trial and remember. Once you do you can win the game any way you want. The actual reaction time, twitch reflexes, fast thing and stuff are almost irrelevant. They are all at the very basics of video games so anyone can really beat Dark Souls and feel as a winner. This is why they turned death into such a meme, so the player doesn't feel bad when he does for not knowing what's next. He just starts believing it is part of the game. To die is the norm. When to not die when you don't know is the real skill. And real difficulty is to die no matter how much you know.

>>14272883

is this a new pasta?

Do you think they'll fuck up the covenants?

>>14273353

Like removing the blue eye oro? Hope to fuck not. Easily the worst part about ds3. I get that they wanted to make invasions more selective but way of blue isn't all that popular.

>>14276019

considering it has been ages since 1080p stopped being a novelty and became a standard (8 years now?) i probably will do so for each period it comes out depending on the technological improvements it makes

>>14276063

oh right and fucking DS was 720p to begin with

>>14251038

I went into Manus without the talisman, too. The timing on the magic was just lenient enough for it to be enjoyable if you have good timing. Fuck spoilers, this is 5 years old.

>>14276019

I'm not excited. As for purchasing, depends on whether or not they fuck it up. If it meets my personal expectations, Dark Souls is in my top 5 favorite games, I'm willing to buy remasters of any of them as long as the devs meet my expectations.

>>14277832

Any of the top 5, not any Dark Souls game.

>>14276019

No, but I know people who have played Bloodborne on their console and are going to buy this since they missed DaS the first time, I'll loan the console and game and try it out.

>>14284327

You mean Fire by fine? Besides, TBH I havent touched online much, so im not interesed in making a perfect build, specially only for PVP and I should try to do some cooperatives (Im a sunbro), althought not sure where and how to do that (im level 55 BTW). Im really a newbie in online Souls.

Will the pc version be getting the free remaster update as well?

>>14284383

>free

That's a good one. The PC version will be getting neither a discount or a free update.

>>14284252

Whilst Dark Souls 2 had abyssmal scaling on STR/DEX, Dark Souls 3 has abyssmal scaling on INT/FTH. And also in general but INT/FTH is still objectively worse than STR/DEX. You're most likely best off with just making any good weapon +10 and infused to scale better off of dex.

As for which weapon to pick: due to poise working completely differently, you either have to use a heavy weapon that has hyper armor or a fast weapon to poke with. Enemies will either have hyper armor with so much poise you can't break it, or no hyper armor. This means that you either need a heavy weapon to potentially facetank with, or a fast weapon to poke with. There is no in-between.

>>14284391

Are you fucking with me?

This is considered a separate game and not an update for already existing versions aside from switch?

>>14284401

Are claimores considered Heavy weapons? I use it because it does lots of damage with out being too much slow, and spending much fatigue. If no, Should I get the uchinaga , that scales well for dex? Or any recommend weapon? Even if it is not for PVP.

>>14284442

I don't know. Try doing strong swings whilst a weak undead attacks you. If you can hyperarmor through enemy attacks, then it classifies as a heavy weapon.

Note that hyperarmor doesn't let you hyperarmor through everything and the amount / how strong hits you can take without being interrupted depends on poise.

>>14284494

>Try doing strong swings whilst a weak undead attacks you. If you can hyperarmor through enemy attacks, then it classifies as a heavy weapon.

I Dont understand what you mean. I tried strong swings to the undead from Lothric Wall and I just kill them with either claymore (Which is a greatsword) and one of the ultragreat swords I had.

>>14284655

Hyperarmor/poise makes you not get hitstunned. If you can continue your attack whilst getting hit, then the weapon has hyperarmor.

>>14284417

>Are you fucking with me?

I'm not.

>>14284401

>You're most likely best off with just making any good weapon +10 and infused to scale better off of dex.

So I should infuse it with Sharp gem? Or should I get another infusion? Are Raw gems good (No scales, but it upgrades base damage alot, it seems).

>>14284738

Sharp or Raw, whichever gives more damage.

You should be able to see damage and scaling post-infusion before actually doing it.

>>14284767

I found this website http://trogg.net/DS3Calc/ to calculate weapons damage. putting my stats (16 Strength, 22+3 from ring Dex) and for multiple weapons I tested, overall the Sharp/Raw infusions give only marginal changes to the damage. It looks like just upgrading weapons is the best. Correct me if im wrong, but thats the look from it.

>>14241996

>What other changes do you think will come? What changes ought they make? Alternatively, post shitty greentext about how they'll ruin everything.

Change the inventory from list to a grid.

>>14284802

Infusion is separate from weapon upgrading.

You can add and remove infusions at any upgrade level. It's not like DeS/DaS where its tied to upgrading. It's like DaS2, infusion is separate.

You should always +10 the weapon you want to use. There is no reason not to. You can always undo infusions you've made at a later point and slap on a different one. (But this does cost infusion materials.)

>>14242020

>Its going to be on handheld

>A game where you only pause at bonfires

I should really have started the Dark Demon Blood series before Demon's (Demons?) Souls online shut down.

still no screens or in game footage?

I love the souls series. But I'm honestly just not feeling it. I have no desire to buy this game. I just feel burnt out on it at this point. It was amazing, and by far my favorite souls game. But I just am not seeing the appeal

>>14242020
