fridge corn posted:Okay beat dragonslayer armour! Heck yeah! Maybe you will beat them all before me again, like with Bloodborne Weedle posted:i have never beaten manus so i would say he is the hardest. hardest in the base game for me is o&s solo or with solaire, which is very intimidating and heart-pounding every single time. i have six ds1 save files on my switch and four of them are right before that boss fight. kalameet is also tough, but somehow the first time i fought him (ng+) i was completely in the zone and beat him on the first try. havent been able to do it since Ahh, so both Manus and Kalameet are people yet to meet! OK that is good to know!

Quelaag really stumped me until one of the lovely goons joined me and we distracted her. Goodness she was a toughie.

Beating Artorias was so satisfying I didn’t even care that I noped away from Manus.

Manus was the biggest road block for me back in the day and I never finished DS1 on 360 because of that, but then I finally beat him on PS4 back in October and boy was that a good time.

for the uninitiated, capra demon and bed of chaos are tricky. in the base game i'd say ornstein + smough without question, and with the dlc, yeah either manus or kalameet. though personally the boss that took me the longest to defeat was sif because i kept putting the fight off until i had no choice

https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1369294448941821957?s=20 The sale is final. https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1369294745583771648?s=20 Microsoft's release about it seems to suggest that despite being a Microsoft-owned studio, Bethesda will continue to release some multi-platform games, which makes sense because I think if Todd couldn't port Elder Scrolls, he'd explode.

Onstream I made the geekiest most ridiculous noise possible when I beat Artorias. It was the 8th attempt, I think and on my way there from the bonfire I was coming up with these moves I was going to do to best him and I did and I felt like a proper soulser

VideoGames posted:I am also intrigued to play Dark Souls 2 and 3 because so many people say they either hate or love 2. I'm playing through DS2 now, and it's like, precisely different enough to be aggravating. Like if someone tilted your house just enough that it wouldn't make it unlivable, but you have a vague feeling of vertigo and you forget your pens and pencils will always roll off the table until you try to put a pencil down.

Cardiovorax posted:Make a list of what you think feels different when you play it and we'll tell you how many things you got right or wrong. Well if all goes well tonight, I will be beating DS1 and depending on how much time left in the evening (I am feeling very confident and lucky) I could even start this evening or perhaps Friday. For certain I will be going from DS1 to DS2 immediately. No gaps or anything, so it will be fresh in my mind

Cardiovorax posted:I hope you have more fun with it than I did! Want one good, non-spoilery hint to start with? It will make the experience much smoother for you, I guarantee it. Is this the adaptability thing? A few people have mentioned levelling that up first so if it is that I am aware of it, but if it is not, then I appreciate it, but no thank you. I find the lost wandering a lot of fun. Plus if I ever do get too confused I can always ask later after stumbling for a while

Cardiovorax posted:It wasn't, no. It has something to do with weapon types, but if you'd rather try things out for yourself, then fair enough! I plan on dual wielding clubs after my favourite DS1 weapon. (Someone said I could dual wield last stream and I am sold on that! One big bashyboi!)

I think i would have liked DS2 more than 1 if it had that same feeling of being a large interconnected world which DS1 nails. It might not make sense in terms of world design thinking about those environments though.

It's interconnected, the world is just a hypercube

Sorcery doesn't really make things that much easier in Dark Souls 2. Ever since Demons' Souls, Fromsoft has been dialling down the relative power of Sorcery and other magic types more and more to make it more equal to a melee build and less of a glass cannon. If you don't go out of your way to exploit it, it's decent but not game-breaking.

The thing that gets me about Manus is that he's probably the easiest boss to cheese in the entire franchise. He's still loaded in when you're not in his arena, and the bottomless pit by his fog door lets you look down and see the glow of his eyes. If you pack a bow, the hawk ring, and enough arrows you can chip him to death with no risk.

I must gain. I must risk. My victories must be full. Sorcery (and miracles, hexes, and pyromancy) isn't particularly busted in DS2 compared to strength builds, and largely detrimental in the DLCs. Especially compared to just buying a bow. They are a lot of fun though and respeccing is easy so I'd just play around with it. RIP Great Resonant Soul

Oh yeah, VG, if you've played Bloodborne and Dark Souls you haven't played a Souls game with respeccing yet. DS2 lets you respec so you can be free to experiment more than you could before.

Like if someone tilted your house just enough that it wouldn't make it unlivable, but you have a vague feeling of vertigo and you forget your pens and pencils will always roll off the table until you try to put a pencil down. by far DS2's biggest sin was setting up this Zelda torch puzzle in the tutorial area. I think I bothered to light every goddamn torch in the game, hoping finally I'd hear the jingle and unlock the secret door or something. IIRC there were like 2 moments in the game where lighting torches actually change anything and they were both "gently caress you" things like, makes some NPC attack you or just makes you an easier target for enemies type poo poo.
