Luca Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I am so in. I thought I'd find the medieval style kinda luke-warm after Bloodborne because I was all about that gothic shit, but man the art team is doing amazing work on it. I can't wait to see how much the weapon arts and the new Mana bar mechanics change everything up. I'm going to have to put on blinder for Japanese spoilers though... >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luca Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I use controllers and Mouse an Keyboard 50/50 for games in general.

AlastairSnowpaw Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) i always just used a 360 controller for pc, i do know some poeple who play dark souls 2 with M&K and do it decently.\ Also maug if you have scholar of the first sin on pc i'm up for some silly troll stuff.

Luca Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I dig lore posting a lot but at this point I'm kinda waiting for the game first. I'll power through the game in a few long sessions first and then draw my own theory, then I go and compare to everyone else. It was a blast for Bloodborne and coming up with something on your own leads to small details that you can contribute into conversations that other people miss.

TrishaCat Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I don't like how slow the combat is in Dark Souls games to be honest. And I feel like at times the game is designed around the idea that you're going to die rather than giving you a chance to see something coming at times. Like you're supposed to know something is there before you get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no don't get me wrong; I didn't mean to say that I think the speed of the combat contributes to deaths or anything (I was only talking about that in how the game sometimes throws surprises at you). The game is designed around being able to dodge enemies and enemies aren't much faster than you are, so the speed itself is perfect for the game's combat. I was just saying that speed wise, that I don't personally like how slow the game is. I like faster action games and moving around in Souls games feels sluggish and weighty to me. Its hard for me to get into a Souls game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that's fair and yea it kind of is how dark souls is because you're generally wearing some heavy armor and weapons, so it makes sense the character is slow. That being said in DS2 you could do combat pretty fast and PvP is pretty infamous for "Ballerna" play where players play unlocked and tend to circle around to make their movement sporadic. Ofcourse nothing would be the speed of bayonetta of DMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdfox Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 24 hours down the drain; Level 64 Archdragon Peak I found a great NPC again, in Dark Souls 1 he was stuck in a tower and hard to kill, now he's stuck in a room and even harder to kill. Bosses so far seem a bit hit or miss, either they are really really easy or have some cheap moves that will oneshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucyfish Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Man I wish I could get away with creating something that was full of issues but I had a fanbase so diehard that they just looked away from every little mistake and got violent with anybody who pointed out said mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdfox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 The game has mistakes, the issues the fanbase has is that a lot of players think lack of skill equals buggy/bad design. I cleared the game for the first time yesterday, and besides a small bug in Irythil dungeon, I encountered no real issues. Most of my issues were my lack of skill or sprinting ahead when I shouldn't have But running through the game again, so if you can post issues I can see if I can repeat them. What issues are you encountering though? I'm quite curious, and maybe I can give some tips or help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyfish Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've mostly been having issues with enemies hitting me through my I-frames and parries doing absolutely nothing. I attribute the latter part to FromSoft nerfing the everloving shit out of parries, though. The poise stat is totally busted, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdfox Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 My tip, avoid parries. they are pretty much useless in PVE, I haven't used them and clear the bosses just fine. They are wonky as hell Being hit through I-frames, I have that as well, there is a ring that gives you more I-Frames which helped me a ton.

MuttButt Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I watched a streamer kill 95 people in a row without dying in pvp today, sometimes fighting them three at a time. he didn't seem to have any trouble parrying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poise stat is totally busted, too. the iframes in the rolls are different in each game same with the timing for the parries so that's prolly why it happens. also you actually have to ripose after the parry in order for the damage to happen. when you land a parry there's a huge obvious sound effect. However I have gotten off some parries where i took the damage which is odd. Poise has been a mess since DS2, just means it's totaly viable for me to fight in a dress :3 which i like. Though the really dumb thing is how so many hitboxes can hit through walls, pretty sure that's the reason why a super important npc for my first characters build ended up dieing.... at least i tend to abuse it back with whips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Souls 3 is a fucking shit game. :U well blessed lowers damage for healing. it's best to have on a shield so you passively heal. also besides buffs magic is really at it's weakest in dark souls 3. Also a couple fun facts: The best parrying tool is an offhand cestus, i don't know the exact frames but it's faster and not as long delay as other parry items. I have been using it recently and it's a very good parry. if you're getting hit by a combo and someone is mashing R1 you can parry the third hit. Here's a good example of both: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zytan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Alternatively try the lothric knight shield, highest stability parry shield that I know of. Block the first swing and parry the second.
