I personally can't wait for From to forget to properly secure their new effects again, causing another week or two of people wailing and gnashing their teeth. (No, I really would rather be as disappointed in that prediction as I was in DS3 as a whole.)

Why is 40% of the dlc trailer shots of the player fighting bosses from the vanilla game? Is there a boss rush feature or something?!

Priscilla was supposed to be your firewaifu in the 1st game so it's not surprising Miyazaki wanted to return to her area in some form, also the main game hints at PW stuff.

Snowy castle zone in a series where four games out of five, including this one already, but not including the one where the snowy castle zone was cut content, had a snowy castle zone? Better freak the gently caress out about it

Honestly this game needed more snowy zones anyway. The trailer set up all of this freezing landscapes, pilgrims collapsing in the snow... They added a Frostbite mechanic. But then snow and cold isn't really in the game the way you'd expect based on that sort of stuff being included.

But then snow and cold isn't really in the game the way you'd expect based on that sort of stuff being included. Yeah color me disappointed with frostbite. The game didn't exactly need another status effect to begin with but on top of that, it sucks poo poo when you use it, it's limited to a couple of crappy weapons, there's like four enemies and some barrels in the game that even inflict it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ashes adds an infusion stone for it and a couple more sources of it (imagine frozen outskirts, but the blizzard builds frostbite unless you're in cover), but even then, the effect is so underwhelming that it's hard to care about it. It's like bleed, but worse when you use it (since it does less damage and enemies pretty much don't care about stamina) and more annoying when it's slapped on you (because you can't heal through the stamina penalty).

My favorite part about that trailer is the big guy with the axe. You can very clearly see him not hit the player, but then he gets hit.

DLC lookin' good. That was a seriously great looking snowy forest right there. I hope it's on a similar level to the Bloodborne DLC, where we got three huge, very different areas! Overall, I think I've cooled on Dark Souls somewhat - partly because Bloodborne was so amazing, I guess. The setting in the new DLC doesn't seem terribly interesting right now. But I'll remain adamantly optimistic because I really like the base game, and someone's gotta stay positive around here

Finally picked this up on PC while it was cheap. Are softbans still a problem? Probably going to roll a faith character since I haven't tried one yet. Did they get any interesting tweaks in the last few months?

Polo-Rican posted:Why is 40% of the dlc trailer shots of the player fighting bosses from the vanilla game? Is there a boss rush feature or something?! Apparently it might actually mean something lorewise, they're all related to Lothric's Queen. Although this relies on her being Gwynevere or a daughter of Gwynevere. Oceiros (husband), Lothric/Lorian (sons), NK (Older Brother or uncle), Gwyndolin being eaten by Aldrich (Younger Brother or uncle). All things considered, and a bit of personal bias because Gwynevere being Lothric's Queen feels wierd to me. I think Ariandel is a daughter of Gwynevere or at least a descendant, possibly sisters of Rosaria and the Dancer, because they both can become Gwynevere based miracles.

How does the Lordvessel still exist, anyway? Did someone repair it in the intervening time between DS2 and DS3? Or is that a different but similar-looking imitation?

Honestly now that I think about it, no one is going to agree with me but I'm kind of glad Dark Souls as a continuing entity is ending. It's sort of exhausting how everything has to be ninety references and be so layered with meaning that I now know more about the Fifth Earl of Dickslap than I know about most real historical things. Of course that thing is the Lordvessel, there's literally no way it won't be because that's how everything is in Souls.
