Kill yourself

Nigger please.

I beat Dark Souls on KB+M.

I dropped this one very early on. Not a good game, better off playing dark souls, demons souls, or bloodborne.

>>14373464

>shilling Nostalgia Souls

DS3 is shit, wasted potential, more focused on "remembah old games?" than looking forward

also they cranked the shitty difficulty a lot

It plays more like a DS2.5 than a true sequel

also

>It's fucking shit on keyboard though, if you don't have a controller I wouldn't recommend it.

if you aren't a underage cuckchanner/shill you already know this, it's been like that since the first game

>beat DS2 with keyboard mouse with no problems

>beat DS3 with keyboard mouse with no problems

>"these games just aren't made for keyboard mouse"

DS1 isn't on that list because it's a bad port.

This bait is too obvious; it bores me

I am getting the worst "co-op" experience lately, first I decided to be a "good guy" and went Blue Sentinel/Darkmoon to "help" players who get invaded (and I assume they choose Way of Blue because they don't want to be bothered by invaders most of the time), but turns out 3/5 times I am summoned into a trap where the host is just having his friend invade him/her so he can kill sentinels left and right, no, is not even a duel or anything, they basically allow the sentinel to be ganked (irony), if it was to farm items I thought that was why the password function was implemented.

Another time I got pranked by mad phantoms disguised as white phantoms, and then the host proceeded to "teabag" me, I am by no means good for the PvP thing mind you.

And then last time, completely outside of a blue covenant, I put my sign for co-op outside of a boss room in the Ringed City (the spear one) and then I am pulled into a fight INSIDE THE BOSS ROOM, BUT the message literally said I was invading and then of course I got ganked to death.

On that last one, WHAT!? so I can't even literally go co-op for a boss or is that a quirk in that particular fight? I was using Rosaria's Fingers at the time.

>>14373614

>It plays more like a DS2.5 than a true sequel

Complete with the addition of more enemies with less stagger and tons of double bosses to pander to those who liked OnS a little too much.

>shillling shitholes 3

Sorry op, i don't have a baby dick, and i know everything in that game beside ultraswords is useless.

>>14379042

which reminds me, I found the Wolf Ring +3, but since poise doesn't work like it did before, WHY the fuck do they include the ring?

>>14379051

>>14379042

Nigger don't know about small axes, or great clubs.

>>14379057

Brigand Axe is one of my favorites actually, on a STR build, but I made a pyromancer recently and I can't kill half of the bosses without trying a whole lot, just got enough stats to wield certain weapons and pumped INT+FTH at 40.

>>14379068

That's because magic are shit in Dark Souls 3.

But the meme about only ultra greatswords are viable are dishonest.

>>14379076

But that's the thing, Pyromancy is helpful when the bosses aren't fire resistant, my problem comes from the fact that any weapon I can wield even infused with Dark or Chaos (for the scaling) doesn't do enough poise damage, ironically enough the only one with "good" stunlock is the Dancer Blades but they deal Magic+Fire damage, which means they suffer from the same problem as pyromancy.

>>14379057

Lmao. If the guy with a ultragreatsword isn't a complete tool, you never even get close to him. The absurd range of ultragreatswords, plus the horrible phantom range that fucks up your positioning, plus the poise bonus, plus the low requirement and heavy damage and scaling, make ultragreatswords the way to go for whoever wants to play the game in easy mode.

But wait, there is more. From software wasn't happy with making ultragreatswords op, they had to nerf everything else too. So shields are useless, sorceries/hexes are useless, bows are useless.

Afterall, you don't want the guts cosplaying retards to be insulted by a low armored archer, do you?

What about the engine? Is the game different in pve? Lol no. The weakest gameplay so far. All enemies shake around endlessly like they have parkison. You have to roll away and hide or take the unending hits and die. Unless of course, you have heavy armor and an ultragreatsword.

Shitholes 3 is not just a bad dark souls. It's a bad game all together.

>>14379088

Except UGS are fucking slow and require stamina.

I remember there was a time when everyone was saying dex weapons >>> UGS.

>>14379088

Heavy armor barely helps.

>>14379106

Also, if poise barely matters in DaS3 why do everybody wear heavy armor?

Really makes me think.

>>14379114

Damage reduction apparently, not sure how much because at least on PvE damage seems to be always in percentages, no matter what I wear, if the enemy can kill me in 2 hits it will always be able to kill me in 2 hits.

>>14379114

Poise only affects 'armor frames' during certain weapon animations. Because there was apparently a carbon monoxide leak in from offices when they designed the system, they put a shit-ton of poise frames in ultra-greatsword animations and basically shit-all anywhere else. So it's this weird binary system where either you don't use a greatsword and poise IS useless because it's never applied, or you 2hand a UGS and fucking mash R1 and facetank through everything

>>14379092

Lmao. First, they are not slow. The fume knight ultragreatsword double-taps anything in a second, for example. The first swing is not slower than a greatsword's, IIRC. And since they give big poise and have high damage, you can always trade hits.

Second, the amount of stamina they consume is irrilevant. You only have to put points into strenght, hp and stamina. By level 120 you have huge health and huge stamina. You can mindlessly swing your ultragreatsword without respite and win. This is shitholes3.

>>14379139

The FUGS is nerfed though.

>>14379106

Heavy armor helps with trading hits, since ultraweapons give high poise. Of course, the heavy armor+ ultragreasword build is a dull build, even the burgerkids with the penis complex find it boring. They prefer a lighter armor so they can roll like retards and pretend the game isn't rigged in their favor.

>>14379147

This isn't Monster Hunter here.

>Dark Souls

>MMORPG or even close to that

>>14379151

I know right battling a trex by yourself is totally normal in an rpg right wink wink

Something a few weapon geeks on YT have criticized a little on Dark Souls games is how a lot of weapons do all those "over swings" while certain weapons like rapiers and spears had poking mechanics which any sane "warrior" would use more often in certain situations, this always made me think about how light and hard attacks could be implemented differently as to make light attacks the usual fast + short range +low risk vs hard attacks being high risk high reward and all.

>>14379158

To be honest, the best route is to do something like Mount and Blade or Kingdom Come and make you able to swing and thrust in all eight directions.

And of course take in the fact that different weapons have different anti-armor ratings, though that might force everyone to use axe or hammer.

Feel free to NOT watch it.

>>14379166

No. Just no.

>>14379166

denied

>>14379170

Oh, I forgot, thanks.

I don't give a shit what the hipster nostalgiafag niggers here say; DS3 was fun.

>It's fucking shit on keyboard though, if you don't have a controller I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't understand people who say this. I beat ds 1 and 3 with kb+m and did just fine (never played 2). Only in 1 did I have any issues and that was mainly when trying to aim a bow. If the devs bothered to include kb+m controls in the tutorial messages I'm sure this notion would be dispelled.

>>14379840

It was way better than the shitfest that was 2 even if they did bank heavily on nostalgia points

>>14379840

>fun

<magic nerfed

<poise fucked

<armor is useless

<you take 75% with heavy armor

<if you wear robes, you take 80%

<enemies have infinite stamina

<small enemies doing 33% of your health of damage

<big enemies doing 66%

<invasion isn't fun anymore, you're almost guaranteed to be greeted by the host and 2 phantoms, with 2 more that join the party short after you arrive

<linear level design

<you like artificial difficulty? here, have these DLC bosses

etc.

>y-you hate it j-just because it's new

fuck off already with that reddit mentality, we hate it because it's a downgrade from DS1

>>14373464

pump-a-rum or pump-'er-rump?

>>14373479

I actually have beaten first Eve in Nier:Automata on keyboard and mouse. At the beginning of the game It was easier to aim the pod with mouse.

The best part? I never learned to dodge. I hate to double tap. I have beaten entire fight with only jumping and moving away. It took me total of 4h to master avoiding his every attack this way.

Eve only has one attack you cannot avoid this way. The one where he throws a lot of rocks at you at the same time. It was either dashing out of it or using immunity frames. I didn't use either as an option.

I also didn't use healing potions because it was time in the game resistance camp was destroyed and I had no idea where another vendor with healing items was. I preserved ones I had for attempt in which I was sure to kill him.

It actually was the best 4h I had in Automata.

>>14380258

>I hat to double tap

Just press spacebar you nigger

>>14380271

It was jump.

>>14373614

>also they cranked the shitty difficulty a lot

But it's easier than 1. I'd say it's better than two, but I've only played up to the big cathedral with the giants in it. I kind of got bored and haven't played it for a while. If you're really starving for more dark souls, I'd say it's worth a pirate.

>>14380311

Oh well i think i had a hotkey for evade, IIRC, but since i only played the game 2 hours before uninstalling i might be in the wrong

>>14380357

>hotkey for evade

I mean it is even possible it was there, but I didn't knew it or it was patched in.

It still doesn't change I have beaten final boss without core mechanic in this game and it was FUN.

>>14373614

>keyboard controls suck

>das1

>not using standard wasd/tfgh/ijkl for move/look/attack

>not mapping magic and items to shoulder keys on move and weapon switch to attack shoulder keys

>not being mentally capable of mapping controls on a keyboard to suit your playstyle and muscle memory

it's almost like you're a faggot who only plays on console.

>>14373614

at least they made the aesthetics good again, on par with the first dark souls. 2 has the ugliest graphics it felt like china made it and slapped dark souls on the title.

>>14379147

your evaluation is garbage, and your rhetoric is shit

absolutely redditical

>>14379884

It may not be a good as 1 but it's still a good game, you binary autist.

>>14381440

I just wonder, isn't there any "rebalance mod" among the pile of mods for the game?

Semi-related. but where I can get the complete soundtrack of DSIII (Includind the DLC ost)?

>>14379042

I did a whole playthrough using only a dagger, piss easy.

>>14381613

I wish I could remember where I got mine from. Can I upload somewhere quick and for free?

>>14381848

Disregard. I believe this guy has it all.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjsJKQQpGOY

>>14381859

?¿?¿?¿¿?. Im asking the OST to be downloable, not a mere song…

>>14379882

>KB+M is better for this game

Controller is objectively better for these games and what it was built around. Good 3rd person keyboard games are like DD and Dead Rising.

Can you play DaS with keyboard only, like using the keyboard to control the camera too?

>>14382601

Why would you do that to yourself? The camera is already shit to begin with, so why would you gimp yourself even further?

>>14373614

>DS3 is shit, wasted potential, more focused on "remembah old games?" than looking forward

So your main complaint is that Dark Souls isn't a walking simulator, gotcha.

>>14382749

Keyboard only games are fun

>>14379840

Dark Souls 2 was more "fun" than Dark Souls 3 ever was. Even with the Ringed City being on par with AoTA and TOH, that alone doesn't save the rest of the game from being utter trash.

>>14382763

(you)

>>14383256

Actually I liked Siegward a little more since he seems to be the only one with a happy ending, we always robbed Siegmeyer of his glory by rescuing his sorry ass, Siegward literally just dies after fulfilling his promise.

So, strictly PvE and Co-op, best medium shield?

>>14382601

Dark Souls plays well in K+M, regardless of what others say. If you want a port with awful default K+M controls, play Nioh. Just started playing it, and I had to change almost all the important keys, because it was really that bad.

>>14381818

Backstabbing or parrying the engine is easy. Bring that dagger in multiplayer, let's see how that will work out for you.

>>14381561

>game is a downgrade from original

>more similar to the game made by their B-Team than a true sequel

<b-but is f-fun

surely you're the same faggot that defends nuFallout 4 because "it's fun to shoot"

>>14382855

>sucks at the game

>has completed it

<doesn't provide any counterpoints

good deflection faggot, the game is still DS2.5

>>14382852

Ringed City would have been a fantastic if they had the courage to try something new

Instead we get the same as:

Artorias DLC

>So you arrive at this city that looks majestic

<omg, it's tainted/corrupted on the lower levels

bonus: both optional bosses on the DLC's are corrupted dragons

+

Anor Londo (Gwynevere-Gwyndolin)

>So you have this majestic city

<omg, it's an illusion that breaks after "killing" a female npc that is conjuring it

And of course it's even shittier because they had to shoehorn Ashes of Ariandel somehow, instead of trying a new story line.

See? Nostalgiafagging/Fear of progression, you call it whatever you want, but that's the cancer that has killed DS3.

>>14373464

That's in the subscription service, not an actual humble bundle, you fucking moron

>>14384510

Comparing das3 to das2 is unfair to das2. Soul memory was fucked up, the gangbang bosses where annoying, but the game was an overall improvement on das. Das3 is just shit all around.

>>14384506

>complaining about boss hit boxes

>thinks it started with ds2

That shit was in as early as ds1, possibly earlier but I haven't played DeS yet. You can see this in action with fighting Smough, Bed of Chaos, and Kalameet

As for your question, it's still around in ds3, but mostly mitigated.

>>14384708

Remember the giant soldier's shield slam? I remember how that shock wave lingered for a full second after the shield slam.

>>14384708

ds1 problems was spit in a bucket compared to 2. Dont even try to compare them.

>>14387427

>Dont even try to compare them.

He's pointing out that From has always had these issues with their games and it's not really surprising that it continued

>>14381440

I have a friend whose of that opinion and after looking more closely at ds2 scholar of the rehash, covenant and pvp had a lot of staying power in that game. And despite adaptability mucking up the leveling up process, you could make some real goofy shit.

Talking about DaS2, it me or its like the game (The SotfS edition) its always at 40€, regardless of age or not being as popular as the first & third game? Not even the last steam sale affected it…

>>14382578

You don't need lock on if you use KB+M. Checkmate.

>>14388027

Its just you. I got it for 10 at christmas

>>14388027

their games aren't often on sale, usually only with the big sales or at key resellers

>>14387678

>They went backwards in terms of progress

That seems to be the norm with all the souls games, features were stripped from Demon to Dark, combat basically has never changed in any significant way

Maybe it's due to design by committee after the games made bank, but who knows

>>14380435

keyboard + mouse is for shootans not console games ported to PC. kill yourself for trying to sound cool for playing the game wrong. you probably got your ass handed to you in pvp or you're the real faggot that played offline because of your shitty controls

>>14388062

>You don't need lock on if you use KB+M.

>Check. Not mate.

You don't need to lock in if you use a console controller.

CHESS MATE

>>14388410

>playing any DaS for PVP

>when from can't get their netcode together

>not only using online to level sunbros and participate in jolly co-op

>being such a neanderthal you can't comprehend using face buttons to fight instead of bumpers like you're playing some kind of shootan

I'm sorry your brain is so small that you think using a platform that is able to optimize play via 73 distinct keys for control mapping and a mouse that allows pin-point accurate aiming is "Wrong"

Anything requiring aim or camera movement is superior with M+KB. I never found a good use for variable movement speeds, it's gimmicky at best, I always used either slowest or max speed which can be done with KB using a hotkey. Analogue stick for camera movement was a mistake, console devs should have just put more effort into perfecting auto camera from the PS1 days.

>>14388498

The thing is though is that Dark Souls DOESN'T require aiming. The game is about movement and if you can't make use of omnidirectional rolling/running, you're unnecessarily tying one hand behind your back.

>controller

>can run and roll in any direction the analog can go

<keys

<only 8 possible directions

>>14387601

>butt sex

>regular sex

Bird cloacas, anon. There's only one hole. One lewd, sexy egg-laying hole.

>>14389672

>What is the difference difference between soloing in an MMORPG and DS3?

One is an investment and major time sink that can occupy hundred of hours of your time, and the other takes a fraction of the playtime to complete and play. Also realtime combat. Can't believe you'd ask such a retarded question.

Since my toaster can't consistently run this thing at 60FPS unless I go fullscreen (and even then is not for sure), I need to switch tabs a lot, fullscreen messes up with delays so I decided to use Riva Tuner to cap the game at 30FPS at least now it feels like DaS1.

My question is, how would this affect multiplayer? of course on PvE I seem to have less trouble with parry timings but how does it affect if I decide to play with other people be co-op or a watchdog?

>>14394088

i dunno lo9l

>>14373479

Now try it on DK Bongos you double nigger.

>>14387601

cloaca anon. You pump her rump which is also her vagina

>>14396897

Oh well, guess I'll have to play on fullscreen for a while.

>>14399002

I beat jungle beat without those because I got it second-hand. Completely trashed the A button on the controlled I used.

>>14373464

>bosses are beyond piss easy, all having glaringly obvious built in handicaps and cheesemode

>etc

I wanted to like this game I really did

>>14405372

>parry is completely useless

>shields are basically useless

Apparently the developers began hating shields and parry when they made Bloodborne or some shit, too bad they didn't account for the whole difference in gameplay mechanics like the life recovery.

>>14406325

>and parry

wasn't parrying a huge part of Bloodborne? Where you shoot an enemy right before they attack

>>14414888

eh, it's a well made game but it's horrifically boring along with falling for the big armored bosses again making strike weapons easy peasy mode again

He's absolutely right about levels being linear and just painful "hey remember this from dark souls 1". It feels like they just cranked this out as quickly as they could so Mizakyi could keep toying with whatever new IP he's working on

souls games should have ended with the first dark souls

Also

>Boss ignites weapon

>leaps across the arena

>Boss engages second stage

I swear almost every boss did this

>>14415011 (checked)

yeah magic is pretty pozzed since you can dodge it by fucking walking the other direction, the only ones that are kind of worth it are buffs and certain dakr magic spells

DSIII was the final nail in the coffin that is the Souls community.

>>14414972

Also i've finished watching yeah, not gonna pay for a bloodborne machine, fuck sony bloodborne and holy fuck, now i hate even more DSIII

Almost everything is a bootleg version of bloodborne, even the "hurr durr my second phase is flame attacks :^)" shit is something Maria does on the bossfight.

Also holy fuck, people shitting about "gang boss fights" on DSII, have they ever played the other games?

>bloodborne

<shadow of yharnam, micolash, witch of hemwick, living failures, merciless watcher, rom the vacuous spider

>nuDSIII

<curse-rotted greatwood, deacons of the deep, high lord wolnir, champion's gravetender, spear of the church

<two at the same time: sister friede, demon in pain & demon from below

Gang bosses are present on multiple games

Also holy fuck, they failed hard trying to link bloodborne and nuDSIII

>>14379036

I found it had a bunch more enemies who stagger than DS2. DS2 was fucking obnoxious with big weapons, felt like you were carrying around a big paper mache sword.

>>14417306

Yeah, and to compensate they went with daggers that stagger even when you wear heavy armor.

>>14417360

Which forces you to eat a lot of damage or just have a backup light weapon, yeah.

I don't understand the dumb niggers who think big weapons are OP when PvE actively fucks with you if you're using them. Lots of dumb niggers on this thread.

>>14417289

>is a bootleg version of bloodborne

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if they just brought over a bunch of assets simply to wrap up Dark Souls so they can do something new now. Even the money grabbing remaster isn't involving From at all.

Did based From software fix the feature where playing with AMD components disabled hit and hurtboxes for everyone in game?

>>14415011

Its fine for PvE and invasions, but not dueling or arenas really, except for 2v2/3v3 arenas.
