KittenAdmin Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi. I've been really into the souls series the past few months and I was curious if anyone else was. I'm on my second character up to NG+ trying to go all the way to NG+++ for all the rings in Dark Souls 3. I'm capped at 120 which is the unofficial community Pvp standard. My build this time around is intelligence using the Moonlight Greatsword and just now trying out the Greatsword of Judgement. Been kicking ass with this build thus far without any real issues besides the usual el-cheapo weapons and quality builds like the washing pole and Gundyr's halbard. I've beaten both Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2, but the original dark souls has been kind of a pain because it's only on PS3 and Xbox360. I enjoy cooping with a coworker which is hard without party chat on PS3... Anyway... anyone else have this addiction to self torment? :B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaly Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 DS I and III are outstanding: lore, mechanic, music, visual design in these games are stunning. I love non-obviousness of these games, some secret things that are practically impossible to find alone, without help of community. And its one of few games that really teaches you patience and care. But all of this gone in DS II unfortunately. Its good, but not nearly as good as the other two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenAdmin Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I started with Dark Souls 2 so it holds a special place in my heart. I also got the tools as scholar of the first Sin, so it was an actual complete game. 2 is probably my favorite of the series for that reason.

Enigma Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Luca and I have been playing DS3 again lately on PS4. Trying new things and dying a lot. (I usually don't build strength character) My top character right now is about level 230, and is a balanced build. So if anyone needs help in ds3 just ask! I have DS2, Demon souls and Bloodborne. My copy of DS1 is gone unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Praise the mother fucking sun bitches The souls series is great nothing like Bloodborne is also freaking amazing I'm kinda glad three is the last dark souls rather than it being milked for all its worth only for it to end up completely unrecognizable like games before it *Cough* metal gear solid 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenAdmin Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Unfortunately it's like literally my favorite genre. So my only hope is that some day they do something similar but not the same. Or they make loads of DLC for DS3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please play these. (Rebirth last.....) I myself tend to avoid DS mainly because I'm not a fan of sluggish combat in games. I always get the fanboys that go "but it's realistic". I'm aware. It's not my thing. I stick to Ninja Gaiden for brutal 3D (or 2D) action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just really like having to plan your swings because if you fuck up, the punish is real. I'm more interested in the PVP than anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have said multiple times that ds3 is the last one. also the first DLC got announced and there's a trailer for it. Edit: another trailer just came out today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairSnowpaw Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 so some dark souls streamers got to play the PvP arena early and got to record footage so there's a bunch of info about the arena and the weapons. the arena looks really good and fun. Here's one of the videos, warning for spoilers in regards to weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishaCat Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I tried Dark Souls 1 but I couldn't get into it. Everything moves too slowly for my tastes and the types of attacks available to the player isn't varied enough. At least from what I've played, anyways. I only really beat the first boss. The game reminds me of Monster Hunter a bit in how it plays, and I don't like that. Plus going to an area you aren't supposed to be in yet only to be surrounded by tough enemies really sucks. There's a lack of direction in where to go and the game punishes you for exploring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlastairSnowpaw Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 So the DLC will be out later today, would anyone also want to do team fights in the arena with me? It would be on PC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlastairSnowpaw Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 so the new arena is tons of fun and has brought a bunch more life into the game which was needed. However there are still some balance issues and hopefully they change the stamina of something things, mainly rolls costing way too little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRadarEars Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I have dark souls 1. I love/hate it to death and a lot of my friends have played most of the games in the series (including the demon souls series.) If you look closely you can see a Berserk reference in almost every part of the game, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
