YIKES Stay Gooned posted:Haven't done the ds2 dlc yet, I'm going to get the ps4 version later this year to check it out, since I've already played like 150 hours of ds2 and want more of a break before I start that again. Haven't done ng+ Bborne yet either, I'm interested to see how much harder it gets. ds2 dlc is as good as base dark souls 1 and ng+ bb does not gently caress around but you get an insane amount of souls

I'm planning my current build around leveling to 100 but idk if that's going to net me many invasions in ng+ 100 is pretty safe, wouldn't go higher than that. 100 also makes sure you can be strong enough to handle NG+ Also NG and NG+ aren't divided in their player pools, it's all level and that's it. For reference my highest character is 125 and I still get a decent stream of invasions/getting invaded at Mergo's Loft.

Ok, now I'm going to start ng+ and see how much harder it is. Im going to write down my current play time and see how quickly I can rush to the bad ending

MUSCULAR BEAVER posted:It would be nice if in bloodborne you could go take a boss' dried up blood to a weird bird lady to exchange it for a cool new weapon hunters tools would have been great boss rewards. also more key items that can be broken down into gems but also have other uses if you don't

zen death robot posted:you probably levelled up your character much better than i did, i started a 2nd one with the intent of taking that into a serious NG+ run Same, my first character was super spread out and poorly optimized, which I usually do for first runs (go in blind and just do whatever I need to beat the game). Then I read up on poo poo and min/maxed a wheel user for ng+

Axe is too good for a starter imo. cleaver is pretty good balance.

zen death robot posted:All of the skill weapons seem kinda bad in a way they require you to get a hit or two in then get out of the way instead of rely on being able to stun enemies, or start hitting from far enough away that you can make them flinch before they get a hit in. i really like blades of mercy but as far as i can tell beast claws are the same idea but better implemented SM64Guy posted:i used the axe on my first character but i got tired of it because it was too good and samey. its like the claymore from dark souls this except ludwig's

Skill PvE/PvP= Muhammad Ali the best weapon combo I've run is a tie between Ludwig/Cannon and BoM/Burial. Claws are too slow and high risk to be considered better. They are 100% cooler though, and have a better alt heavy swing. burial blade sword form is funny to use against NPC hunters because they dodge at the same angle every time to you can just spam r1 until they backdash out of range.

I found the whip to be only useful against the Pthumerian Queen since the reach is useful for preventing her baby screams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kqb6x9f97y4 She's pretty easy otherwise. After going through some awful boss fights to get to her, the game rewards you with a pretty easy fight.

rediscover posted:bloodborne is the best souls game Probably. I want to say personally that demons is still better but that's probably a mixture of it being my first souls game (and the first game I owned for PS3) and not having played it a while after hundreds and hundreds of hours of DSI/II and Bloodborne

The way things are going, I bet in like 5 to 6 years there's a PS4 box set of The Collected Works of Miyazaki ala the Kojima Legacy Collection that has all the souls game in one box. Imagine all the sick poo poo that would come with the collectors edition of that game...
