Bobnumerotres posted:they already have all the money in the world from how outrageously popular the souls games are in general Souls games don't sell like people think. They get a respectable number but they don't do serious AAA figures. Bloodborne has sold somewhere around 2.6m copies vs the 22 million ps4s out there I can't find budgets for any of the games but I'm sure they're getting cheaper to make considering 2 reused a ton of assets and the teams are already comfortable with the tools

THE PENETRATOR posted: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 People complained about the matchmaking in dark souls 1being p2p instead of having a dedicated server keeping track of who's online. (This meant you couldn't hide your sign somewhere and have a friend find it.) Who would complain about lower-latency connections to each other? That makes no sense. I'm pretty sure it did work that way in demons souls, central server for matchmaking and p2p for connections, but maybe I'm wrong. gently caress. marry. t-rex posted:I thought the ds2 starting forest sucked rear end 😓 easily the worst tutorial zone of all the games😪 I agree its worse than at 1-1/the burg, but it's one of the only zones in DS2 that branches and has shortcuts and whatnot.

what was also nice about ds1 is that they eventually patched in being able to buy infinite amounts of any ore from the giant blacksmith then in ds2 they rolled back this change for no reason even though theres like 8 million boss weapons and only enough dragon bones per playthrough to get one up to +5. the DLCs (especially the first one) alieviated this by putting dragonbones loving everywhere but they still didnt take out the whole "enemies despawn after a while" thing so you couldnt just farm the minidragonbutts forever

They patched it so that joining the covenant of champions means that enemies don't despawn (and despawned ones return until you leave the covenant). IMO you should still get infinite mats after you beat the boss but eh.

they should really just let you buy infinites of any kind after beating the final boss and in NG+ thats another dumb thing, in NG+ all the shops totally reset and its wtf. the starting blacksmith should just sell everything in NG+

It was mainly pvp people with a LOT of complaining that you couldn't ever win if you invaded someone when there was a little lag between the two of you. But yes the Demon's Souls servers were for matchmaking and world tendency but not connection to another player

Dark souls was my first real attempt at playing a souls game (I rented demon souls and got trashed constantly so I just stopped) Let me tell you about dying past the boar after the dragon bridge and not knowing about the ladder shortcut for like 30 runs... Also stubborningly refusing to just run past everything for some ridiculous reason

I really liked how there was the witch who was branded evil for using magic since birth or whatever, and the sage who was studying magic from a scholarly perspective, and by the end of the game, the witch is scared of its power and the sage is corrupted and lusts for it.

gently caress it. I'll be playing some Demons tonight, I still have that file I started lie 2 months ago when I had the sudden urge again. I'm on 5-1 though and I think it's a pain. I forget, does DeS have a rusted iron ring equivalent

Nope, pick a weapon with a good running attack. 5-2 sucks, unfortunately.

Wish I realized them how easy the share stuff worked so I could have saved a video -_-

Unlocking the shortcut in nightmare frontier is a pain in the butt. And I'm saving the maidens this time so it's extra fun. It isn't hard I'm just a dumb baby who didn't antidote through the poison lake and didn't top off / forgot to place sedatives on my bar before the lantern. Looking forward to that spider gauntlet in mensis

You can run past all the spiders. in fact if you are good at the boss fights, mensis is probably the shortest area in the game.

Micolash was really easy and merges wet nurse seemed hard until I realized you can stagger it to stop the fog cast. Also I had enough stamina to roll through the entire fog cycle anyway lol
