The only thing that would make dark souls 1 better would be the geniuses behind Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin taking a second pass at the enemy layout and weapon design.

theres a mod for DS1 that does this just in case anyone here has the type of brain disease that'd enjoy that

pinwheels as ranged enemies throughout tomb of the giants is cool, you can see their dancing lil torches lit up in the darkness+their fireballs are trickier to avoid than big slow arrows

If people haven't checked his channel in a while, check out the Escort Challenge where he equips himself to 120% load, summons 2 people and then pretends to be escort AI by walking in the shortest line to the boss fog and never attacking anything, and he beats every boss. It's wonderful, especially him trying to get through sens

The convoluted setup to try and get through the pendulums you’re supposed to sprint through and then what actually ended up happening was the best part of that run.

Rat covenant in the week or two after launch was so amazingly fun. It was never going to last longer than that because there are two static maps and it's a solvable problem but it was a blast while it lasted

They had to invent rules like "don't drink potion" because of how gay Dark Souls pvp is.

Bell tower was always really fun. I was sad that DS3's auto invasion covenants were in big spread out areas instead of the small arenas of the bell towers

It's not competitive which is why it's a good goof off mood. Which is why is completely baffling that they put in a bunch of weapon
based matchmaking + host tipped balance with only giving you invasion priorities on 3v1s. Especially since the netcode is the worst I've ever seen in an online game, worse than Splatoon, so who gives a poo poo. gently caress You from soft

P2p multiplayer gaming is really aids. It's so much cheaper than the developers paying for servers forever so it'll never go away even though it means you always have terrible latency. The video of that one guy playing DS3 over a LAN was incredible

for some people its just about not wanting an encounter to drag on forever and i get that. but if some dingus has babby's first sl1 pyro twink or giant dad build i will use every resource i have to fight them

The Dark Souls 1 remaster coming out uses dedicated servers for MP. Who knows how much it will actually help though

None other than Bob himself berated me the first time I got invaded and drank the juice. -_- did you really just estus?

extremebuff

in theory the invader has the environment+monsters to even things out when the host has phantoms but the levels in DS3 are so enormous you're only going to find the host if they want to be found, which usually means they're a full squad waiting to blend you

weapon matchmaking is good because an invader should be an added mini-boss in the world and not a guy who can oneshot you with endgame gear. honor dueling is dumb and im glad DS3 eventually got a 6 player FFA mode that's insane

what ive never understood is that in DS3 and Bloodborne, when you play with friends on a password the game scales your defences and damage to the host's level, and doesn't care about the differences between your characters. idk what the math is but it works really well!

which raises the question "why doesnt it just do that for all multiplayer" like, what if i have a finished character but I wanna go fight for the wolf covenant? strap weights to my guy and put pillows on my weapons, who cares. instead if you get too strong you get exiled from any multiplayer in the area

actaully they should be able to one shot you since that's funny, instead of a protracted lag roll and stab fest
