The DS DLC bosses are super fast & incredibly aggressive. Kalameet is still one of my favorite souls bosses. It's a giant dragon in a giant open canyon area

Do I have to consume the cords right before the boss or do I just have to have consumed 3 of them during my playthrough

"Dark Souls is my life’s work," he replied. "Everything I came up with for Dark Souls 3 is based on my personal preferences. However, Dark Souls 3 is also actually the turning point for the franchise."

Pressed on whether he would explore the sci-fi or mech genres, perhaps by applying the Souls framework to them, Miyazaki said he "definitely wants to bring the Miyazaki Touch" to them.

Miyazaki, who previously served in directorial and design capacities on Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, was appointed president of developer From Software in May 2014.

As part of his remit as president, Miyazaki intends to launch "several new projects," but didn't specify what these would be.

"I do want to work on something new," he added. "I’m pleased to hear people are interested in seeing that."

I forget which level has which boss....shameful. I never saw 3-3 work (rip) but overall, I agree with the top bunch for the most part. Googling made me realize I forget like half these bosses, what the hell is a dirty colossus?

After I finish bloodborne, it might be time for the demons souls replay, maybe I'll even set up the fake world tendency server.

Dirty Colossus is the easiest boss in the game because he is blind and if you just walk slowly he can never hit you. I usually appreciate gimmick bosses but it's just too easy to rank.

def agree with 1-4 being the best boss.

idk if i could rank them but all the 4th world bosses are epic, 5-3 owns, 1-2, 1-3 and 2-3 are very memorable.

3-2 is also a fantastic boss fight but gently caress flamelurker and his random invulnerability + broken rear end attack pattern

I think the first time you play your first Souls game it's not a bad idea to read about the stats and plan something, but after that you can play any other blind, since you have a better feel for the games design.

My first dark souls playthrough was blind and boy was it awful. I had no idea what any of the numbers did, didn't know that upgrading was better than levelling, attacked Andre and couldn't upgrade anything, attacked Solaire the first time I saw him, by the time I got to S&O I basically knew my run was done. It's funny how every souls game you get to a point where you think starting all over would be such a journey but then once you do it you blow through everything that was really hard before

i remember the blue eyed knights in 1-1 being a hell of a loving fight when i first started and the redeye knight guarding the king just being an impassable mountain

i also remember doing that again in NG+ and casually backstabbing both to death in .5 seconds each

I think 1-1 is one of the best "teaching" souls levels there is - don't get me wrong, I very much liked the burg and the forest (best zone design in DS2), but 1-1 holds a special place in my heart. (I love the bloodborne first level but it seems a lot more complicated than any other - almost too much so for an inexperienced player.) It takes you from god of war mash x gameplay to souls over the course of a few hours. I spent forever on it the first time too, and "cheesed" the boss with firebombs the first time because I had no clue what to do without them.

Demons souls remake needs to get rid of or improve world/character tendency, remove stockpile thomas, maybe add some more pure stones, and it'd be awesome. I'd be pretty surprised if we don't see it re-released at some point, there's tons of ps4 owners who didn't have a ps3.

they already have all the money in the world from how outrageously popular the souls games are in general

i mean the ps4 has been carried almost entirely by bloodborne for like a year

I prefer dedicated mm porals with p2p connections, instead of DS2's full dedicated mp servers and lag prediction. Of course, bloodborne coop with lag is insane, but that's the price we have to pay

It's not like, some impossible design feat to have players find each other using a central server, then connect to each other directly. Does DS2 not work that way, does every gamestate update to other players go through the server? That would be pretty dumb.

ds2 doesn't work that way because people complained about ds1 and demon's souls working that way. yeah, actions pass through and are resolved on a server instead of on the host's end and it creates insane situations like backstabs from across the room if someone is lagging hard enough because the lag prediction overcompensates for everything on Both ends
