i really wish the loot in chalice dungeons had something to do with their difficulty. one time i got an absolutely horrid room in a lower loran root, i got to the gold chest room but inside there were two wolves, two psycho lady things, and a bunch of spiders when it's normally just a big empty room with one "miniboss" enemy guarding it. open the gold chest and it's a bunch of ritual blood

tip for npc hunters: use a fairly quick weapon (sawhunter, longsword, etc.) and just keep hitting R1. they will stupidly wander into your flurry over and over some NPCs are a little trigger happy but you just need to be a bit more careful with them, they will still act like total idiots

I.N.R.I posted:its easier than bloodborne cos the hp bars of bosses are tiny you can also hide behind a giant shield the whole game instead of learning how to dodge the amount of iframes you get from rolling in dark souls is next to nothing compared to bloodborne, but it's there

the shield was put in the game as a jab at dark souls. it barely blocks damage at all and it expends all of your stamina, even when blocking basic attacks

In Training posted:Idk if Demons is actually faster but it's just much erm. Floatier I guess is the word, especially in soul form because you dont make any noise and you feel like you're gliding over everything. It's noticeable in demon's copious platforming too, there's lots of secrets they pepper around which require you to do jumps that don't even seem like they should work and feel like breaking a physics engine or something, like getting the thief's ring or some of the jumps in 2-2. the controls in DeS were so lovely walking across a narrow beam was p much one of the hardest things to do in the game. dark souls improved this a shitload

im okay with finding ores around the world and stuff for upgrades as long as at some point you can buy infinite quantities of the stuff so that youre not grinding particular enemies for chunks and poo poo

so vaatvidya has a breakdown of the gamescom demo. its a really long video so summary: weapon arts: -weapon arts can be an alternate stance that enables new moves, or a special attack on its own. it is binded to L2, and is actually based on the kind of shield you have. -some shields can parry, others have weapon arts enabled, and others slam. -the actual attack is based on the weapon. some examples are a big uninterrupted uppercut for the greatsword, a roar that boosts your attack power with the axe, a spin attack with dual curved swords, etc. -these special moves consume "weapon art points," they can only be recovered by resting at bonfires. if you're out of points you can still do the special attacks but they will deal way less damage other stuff: -parrying is dark souls 1 style, you need to parry right before the enemy connects for it to work, and it will only give you a very brief window for a riposte. -rolling is demon souls/dark souls 1 style. it's not as forgiving as bloodborne but it beats the poo poo out of ds2 -no lifegems or anything like them, estus flask use is very fast and recovers health almost instantly -DS1 style backstabbing is back, but the position for it is a lot pickier and the "smarter" enemies (proper hollow knights and such) have moves designed to punish you for trying to get behind them

i wonder if invasions are still going to be handled the same way. i dont know i think at this point its evident that the whole invasion mechanic from the souls games is something that sounds cool on paper but actually sucks in practice. bloodborne only has invasions in one optional area and i felt blessed for that

id like invasions a lot more if they only happened as a result of you summoning phantoms. it's a way to balance things for the extra help you're getting, you've got a partner and the invader has the environment and enemies. level design also plays a huge part in how fun invasions are. dark souls 2 just had really massive levels you could spend hours hunting someone down in whereas demons had really straightforward stages that made it easy to find eachother, dark souls 1 took it to another level and had poo poo like sen's fortress which was invasion paradiso 01011001 posted:soul memory was awful, so was not having consistently available invasion items ds2's design punished invading hard, they really overreacted to the complaints about dickwraiths in ds1.

you could trick ceaseless into killing himself by luring him towards the fog gate, he would lunge and try to crush you with his fist and if he missed you he would just fall to his death the problem is that his fist had the hitbox of the entire game and instakills so you had to time a roll or get lucky, and this trick only works the first time you fight him so if you gently caress up and get killed then you better go buy a bigass fire resistant shield and be ready to just tank him for 5 minutes while taking potshots at his tentacle things
