I thought it was funny that people level "lots of dudes in armor" against 2 but the dudes in armor in 2 tend to be way more varied than the 3 ones. That said, all the fights in 3 that aren't that are at least really interesting. Even Gwyndolin, who was a complete chump, was pretty neat.

RyokoTK posted:What? The armored dudes in 3 are all super different from each other. Gundyr, Vordt, Dancer, Dragonslayer Armour, does Pontiff count too? These are very distinct from each other in visual design and attacks and the overall feel of the fight. I'd actually say Vordt is the only significantly different one in that group. The others are all large bosses who apply heavy pressure with sliding/dashing attacks with sweeping AoEs and slam attacks. Which, if you want to get super pedantic, is basically every Souls armor boss, but in 3 especially those fights all felt extremely similar. It was part of why I only ever died to three bosses in my entire first run, they were all using very similar timing, tempo and hit boxes and once you clicked into their rhythm you can beat pretty much every humanoid boss in the game with the same tactics. E: It was a really good, sort of exhausting tempo that I really enjoyed, and that combined with having played all the others meant that the fights were sort of mechanical dances of perfection that felt really good to pull off, but it was all very similar.

Seltzer posted:I'm playing DS3 for the first time and I two questions. Why do I find very very few summons when I have ember when I could find countless summons in DS1 like 3 years into the game? Also was shield always mapped to left bumper? It seems like the shielding and attacking mechanics should be switched. You use shield and quick strikes much more often and I think they should be on the triggers. Can I map the controls on console? (I'm on xbox one) It's likely you're either below or above the typical SL for the area, and in addition there are weapon enhancement tiers for summoning, being at 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10. It goes off the highest weapon in your inventory.

It was mostly intended as a griefing fix for PvP stuff. If your sign is getting picked up a bunch but you're not seeing many signs that's pretty weird and I couldn't really tell you. If you mean High Wall of Lothric when you say the first area there probably just aren't many people placing signs there. It's a pretty trivial area relatively speaking.

Soul of Embers is an almost perfect boss fight from every angle, mechanics, presentation, music, everything. I don't actually lump it in with "guys in armor" because the Soul does so many different things other than just Swipe Attack 1 and AoE Spin 5. No matter how I feel about 3 after the fact, the Soul was an incredible ending in the moment.

RoadCrewWorker posted:everyones favorite bosses? If you're squinting / abstracting enough to say Champion and Pontiff feel the same then Manus and Ornstein and Artorias also fit that "mold", and those are usually considered the most praised DS1 fights. Seems like a no-brainer that they kept iterating on the thing people couldn't praise enough, and there's still plenty of the massively slow or flying bosses or the gimmicky swarm ones. That's what I'm (apparently poorly) trying to get at. Champion and Pontiff do feel remarkably similar despite being obviously different. Many of the bosses in 3 apply extremely similar levels of pressure in their move sets even if their move sets differ, because I'm not actually saying that all bosses have the same move set (my bad there). A lot of the dudes in armor bosses in 2 had different levels of pressure, different patterns to their overall fight, whereas many of the 3 bosses are enter the arena, do not pass go, go directly to OH gently caress and continue that pace until the fights ends. And I think that's part of it, at least for me. I posted, really pretty early on after release, that the fights in 3 were exhausting in a way that other Souls bosses hadn't been. They have just the right speed and aggression to them that I wasn't really looking for the cool patterns, or the cool tricks they did, or the neat lore things their attacks might imply, or anything like that. I was dodging as hard as could, focused like crazy while trying to stay as calm as possible, and after a while every non-gimmick fight just kind of blended into that core of focus.

It's more of a problem for Bloodborne because most of the huge bosses are also just covered in floppy physics poo poo or extraneous bits of flesh that throw the camera around.

Otakufag posted:Guys do think Ashes of Ariandel will fix poise and all the other billion problems ds3 had? I can't believe I'm going to answer that seriously but here we go. It depends on what issues you mean. Even I, as someone who thinks 2 is the best Souls, will fully admit that the DLC is quite a bit better than the main game. That said, the DLC doesn't really fix any of the fundamental issues that 2 had that weren't initially patched, it just had better design around the edges. So, no.

Svenator posted:I don't understand the "man in armor" complaints about these games. Whenever it comes up I feel like people just end up describing The point is that it's granular enough between games because of the speed and play sense of the games due to their mechanics changes, that it can be a discussion to be had, or at least be a subjectively diverse thing.

Did they do the Souls thing for 3 of patching drop rates after everyone had beaten the game the first time? I thought the game itself actually gave you enough poo poo without having to grind so maybe they didn't have to for once?

Liquid Dinosaur posted:So I heard that for most purposes except huge weapon swing hyper armor, poise essentially does not exist in this game. But I also heard that the latest patch changed poise. Is it back? If i put on Havel's armor will I get bitchslapped by a broken sword hollow? It increased poise values/effectiveness, but you're still not getting any significant benefit from ultraheavy armor as far as I know.

I would rather play 2 over 1 these days and it is 100% down to the gameplay feel. Obviously it's subjective but I'm fine dealing with minor annoyances in gameplay rather than feeling like I'm trudging through molasses even on a fast character throughout 1 again. Also the enemy animations aren't any more difficult to read than any other Soulsborne game and while I get that people dislike the spin in place tracking thing enemies started doing there, guess what's been happening in every From game since, including Bloodborne the once and future king.

I've played the whole of 2 without locking onto someone and never once experienced any kind of deadzones but that's anecdotal at best so I don't know what to tell you.

Like most complaints about 2 "the game is all about enemy mobs but DeS and 1 weren't" is bullshit and always has been, but I will grant that even after having beaten the game a dozen times I will still probably die first time to the Lost Bastille guys every time. And probably that goddamn turtle dude in the hallway with the guillotine. Orv fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Apr 7, 2019 |

The knights in particular in High Wall are a weird, out of place spike in difficulty especially since they love to track you with their insanely quick hits. Nothing that follows is quite that bad for a while, but it does get that rough again.
