Nuebot posted:What enemies? That being said it is pretty fan servicey considering how many returning weapons there are, some odd choices made it in as boss soul weapons. It was when I ran into Hellkite Drake, Mark 2 at the High Wall of Lothric when I went "okay, guys, this is getting a little much." Then again, the swerve they threw at you kind of made up for it. You were expecting a nice prize for squeaking past the fire? TOO BAD. MIMIC TIME.

Wildtortilla posted:Dark Souls 1 was my first souls game. I spent nearly a weekend fighting through the Undeadburg and getting stonewalled by the black knight. I'm sort of having the opposite problem. At this point I played so much DS1 and 2 that I'm expecting a lot of the gotchas they throw in. Not that I'm not enjoying the game, but it's definitely a series that I think is better completed by the third game instead of having a yearly release.

I wonder if my game is broken. I can invade others just fine and summon both purple and regular phantoms, but no one had invaded me. I'm embered, of a normal level for the area, and using the withered finger.

I tried my first invasion in a Souls game last night in the fifth? area Farron Keep. Finally found the guy after five minutes of wandering, didn't manage to hit him a single time, died. 10/10 would invade again.

Managed to win a 1v3 earlier in undead settlement that way.

DeS, DaS, and SotFS all had basically the same thing, I would've been surprised if it didn't show up. Area 5?ish spoilers I was kind of surprised to see the Darkwraiths in Farron's Keep though, and to find out that they hit like loving trucks now after I mostly breezed through them even on my first playthrough of DaS. Watching them slaughter the other enemies in that area is wonderful.

How are the polearms in this game? Is it like Dark Souls 2 where if you're too close to the point of impact you do way less damage or is it rather (short)range agnostic like it was in Dark Souls 1? I got my green melty faced hulk guy made this morning before work and beat the first boss, rolled him up as a warrior and still thinking about what I want to do for him for weapons. I'm thinking I may try my traditional "Hit it with a big stick" build and just find the biggest club nearby.

Polearms by your description feel more DS1 to me. Some attacks are more about crowd-control than damage-dealing.

You can tell how long it's been since I've played a Souls game by the embarrassingly large number of times I've died to Iudex Gundyr. It doesn't help that my controller is hosed up or something and it keeps using my estus flask in the middle of dodge rolls. Fajita Queen fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Apr 12, 2016 |

I'm embered, of a normal level for the area, and using the withered finger. This is me for every souls game. People just don't invade so you feel like you're the only invader at times. I've probably been invaded less than a 100 times counting EVERY SINGLE souls game (apart from in like dueling areas people camp in and do pvp over and over again but they dont really count)

OK so I'm stuck at work and not playing and that's stupid but I know what I have to do when I get back. Thing is i decided to gimp myself and start deprived and take no notes. Im getting my poo poo pushed in by a silver Knight . I want to go back and do two things I missed but have no recollection of which bonfire to start at. 1) I found a cage key and remember an executioner guy in a cage. 2) A boss I can only refer to as fat zombie witch Beatrice who was one shotting me with purple homing magic weekly font fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Apr 12, 2016 |

The ps4 frame rate is bordering on unplayable. The camera chugs badly when you move it around and the frame rate isn't even close to a stable 30. It's probably more like an unstable 20 fps. Anyone else loving the ps4 version?

 That's a fuckin' mug right there. RBA Starblade posted:I was just about to ask if there was anything behind it! Has anyone killed it yet? Sort of. I shot it in the knee fifty times and it hosed off when I got it down to about 10% health and I got a large titanite out of the deal.

How is anyone dying to Gundyr? Starting as a knight, he hit me only once, and longswording his butt worked well enough. Same with the boss after him.OwlFancier posted:Sort of. Neat!

Oh okay so I guess I made the mistake of bothering to dodge anything he does at all once he transforms. Shoving my face in his junk mashing R1 is clearly the correct way to beat a Dark Souls boss

What do you all think it means to be Unkindled too? An undead who failed to light the fire the first time? Does the fact you were undead and died mean that when the flames are lit, the undead die until it fades?

Some of us also compounded their problem by bingeing Hyper Light Drifter over the weekend so that we pressed wrong buttons, a lot, for the first couple hours of DS3

Start as deprived, two hand the club, roll around a ton, get hit twice before you've figured out all his moves or when you slightly mistime a roll, die. It's easy to die when you play the game the right way

Deprived was a good choice. The fast roll is ridiculously good. So unforgiving as a class as well. Beat the first 3 bosses last night blind. Feels good. Now I just gotta get through this workday...

I'm starting to really resent how much damage the enemies do. Given, I don't like to put any more into vigor than I absolutely have to, but it feels like every single enemy can take me from full-death in a single combo.

As a purple pal, I appreciate it because it means people start to trust me long enough if I hack at them. Then if an invader shows up even better! Then I poke them in the butt once and get their sweet, sweet, vertebrae.

So there's no soul memory anymore, right? Does online matchmaking work just like DS1 or is it a new system? (basically, I wanna know if losing souls is ok or not )

Elman posted:So there's no soul memory anymore, right? Does online matchmaking work just like DS1 or is it a new system? It's alright to lose souls, it's DS1 style and with weapon reinforcement level. If you have a weapon that maxes out at +10 and it's at +5, you will matchmake with a range of +3 to +7. If you have a +10 it's +8 and up you get to meet. Weapons that max out at +5 increase each step in a hidden level of 2 each. No multiplayer action of any kind = time to upgrade, in my book.

Dark Souls 2 is about choosing not to the next time the fire needs rekindling. Dark Souls 3 is what happens when the world is ending because you took the path of the Humongous. Also Dark refers to dark things and also humanity. Dark dark dark darkity dark dark

I have approximately zero idea what I'm doing having not actually played any of this series before, but it seems fun? Died to the tutorial boss twice before getting used to dodging, ran into some thing that transformed like aforementioned boss in the first zone and promptly died again.
