I've enjoyed all of the From Souls type games to a certain extent, but I've only beaten Dark Souls 2, and that has a lot to do with playing while the game was well populated. I reinstalled DS1 on Steam to get myself hype, but I just got to Capra Demon and it's sucking the fun out of the game. Is there anything in the first few hours of DS3 that is complete and utter bullshit in the way Capra Demon is? Because kind of 'challenge' can gently caress right off. If you beat DS2, you can easily beat Capra Demon. Just kill the dogs first and you'll have no problems. Edit: but he is horseshit; you're not crazy.

It's hard to say what people will find difficult. In the original Dark 1 thread back in the day there was a number of people losing their poo poo about the Capra demon, but then some of those people found much genuinely harder bosses to be no where near as big a problem.

I'm almost considering just staying at base stats for the Claymore and pump all my stat points into Luck because I want all the item drops ever. Easily the most exciting thing for me in all RPGs/games with loot.

If youll permit me to give you some advice, Luck isnt all that good for upping itemfind and probly not worth it if you're not utilizing luck scaling or bleed/poison damaage. There will be abundant means to increase itemfind later on to a much greater extent

Not to be a dumb "get gud" elitist type, but you roll twice through the dogs and run up the stairs, than the dogs come at you and you free kill them.

You have to fight 3 Capra Demons and 8 dogs in the first level in an area even smaller than the first game

I suppose it would also have been a bad idea to purposefully gimp myself in a new and really hard game on my first character.

also once the dogs are dead if you have a 100 phys resist shield with decent stability you can block every one of capra's hits except the two-swords-at-once big swing.

its just a puzzle boss and it takes about a minute to get from the burg bonfire down to the boss room from the shortcut. if its frustrating just take a step back and try again later. it's very fiddly in those opening seconds but once you can get up the steps it gets much easier.

if you saved those black firebombs from the burg you could probably also use them and just toss one as soon as you walk in the boss door but ive never done it that way.

Holy crap this game. I'm going in pretty much blind for the best experience and am having an absolute blast. Got in about three hours of playtime tonight and have just made it a bit past the second bonfire in the first non-tutorial area (I don't know how linear the area is because I think there was another path from the first bonfire that I haven't explored yet). I managed to beat a certain crystal...lizard(?) on my first try but the tutorial boss schooled me hard. And so have the red caped Knights. And the hooded thieves. And the surprise gank squad of hollows. I never played Demon's but the gameplay feels like the best of Dark Souls I and Bloodborne combined. Very fast but deliberate, weighty movement. Shields are a thing but turtling seems like suicide. I'm loving it  <edit> there was also what appeared to be a naked man made of beef jerky holding a katana. I gave him a wide berth.

Is Lightning Spear back at it's Dark1/Dark2 release state where it was actually usable several times, or is it like post nerf Dark2 where you can cast it maybe 3 times?

Just to confirm I am not crazy, the breakoff between fast roll/normal roll is <30% encumbrance and >30% correct? Oh man your guy is way fatter than mine, did I gently caress up and miss a thickness slider somewhere?

You effectively have MP now, and it has it's own Estus Flask, so you can really pound out quite a lot of spells if that is your deal.

The only thing I'm not a fan of, which I hoped they wouldn't do, is that the roll is the DS1 roll. You literally shoot off the ground like you're wearing rocket boots, and it totally breaks  MY IMMERSION. Dark Souls 2's rolls felt much more realistic, like your character was actually affected by gravity. It's a minor nitpick, but with how you control the character's left and right arm with the bumpers and such really give the Souls games a sort of "simulator" feel, and stuff like anti-gravity leaps feels contrary to that.
