Dark Souls and Demon's Souls Megathread VI. Katana Gank Squad Edition - Games

The gameplay is indeed fast. Demon's Souls pace is great.

I'm at 2.1 million soul memory now, and I haven't been able to get summoned in over a week. Where the hell do I go to get summoned?!! I've been trying Elana in the first DLC and that boss is so badly designed that I'm just gonna give up on it unless I can summon someone who isn't a jackass NPC with fucking caestus.

My primary run is right in that area.

I read one guy say that his SM was about 3 million when he went through the DLCs, I think the only way I could do that is if I beat [sp]all four of the final bosses[/sp] and all of the other DLCs before doing Elana.

Gonna play that demo tomorrow

[QUOTE=Ray551;48380776]Gonna play that demo tomorrow[/QUOTE] I expect a full report on my desk by the time Gamescom finishes. If you screw this up your career as a forum informant is over.

Aka if the "deadzone" is unnecessarily large. Not sure if you know what i mean. :v: In ds2 you have to move the analog sticks a big amount before something happens. This is the worst shit ever and i'm really hoping it's not in ds3.

How the inventory looks like would be nice, if they added/removed/changed stats, how parrying works now...

Do you kick or do you guard break? Is parrying good again? Can you figure out what the number/symbol under your stamina and on the shield icon is?

Since the combat seems Bloodborne aligned, is fatrolling still a thing?

found a 16min gameplay vid on IGN [url]http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/08/05/16-minutes-of-dark-souls-3-gameplay-gamescom-2015[/url] god I am loving that dragon and just the general combat/feel. Hype drives engaged

[QUOTE=Spetsnaz95;48381393]I only now just noticed that the way the character moves is almost identical to the way they moved in Dark Souls 1.[/QUOTE] Legitimately pretty happy about that. That NPC knight at like 5-7min looks like a fun fight [editline]5th August 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Skipcast;48381231]All i want to know is if the movement is as fucked up as ds2.

Yeah, DS1 style movement and feel has been confirmed by other people for a while now.

[QUOTE=MrGreed;48381477]Yeah, DS1 style movement and feel has been confirmed by other people for a while now.[/QUOTE] Really excited. I want to see what new magic is in the game also found a youtube version of that 16min gameplay [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha8eRiP0DmI[/media]

[QUOTE=Ray551;48381113]If you guys want you could post some things I should try out while playing the demo, things you wanna know etc[/QUOTE] Try to see if environment / scenery shadows are static or fully dynamic.

Am I the only one who thinks the knight guys wore similar, if not (nearly) identical armor as the player?

What is it with those combat stances? I wish they were shown off more in that, especially the Greatsword.

Jesus that hollow popped a big black thingie, what. It seems that these enemy knights are going to be my favourite.

Especially if you don't know which enemy it's going to happen to I can imagine From being devious as fuck and having you fight several tough enemies, then go down a hall where there's just one and get surprise assblasted as it transforms into an even tougher enemy

But then the player was also bad so I dunno

Holy shit. Toilet paper enemy corpses are back.

[QUOTE=SebiWarrior;48381924]That one soldier who at first reminded me of the Balder soldier seemed tough as nails; one of the most aggressive enemies in the series I think. But then the player was also bad so I dunno[/QUOTE] Looked more like Drakeblood knights to me.

Embargo was just lifted for the people who got to play the game. Here's a couple of Souls streamers discussing in depth about the combat mechanics. [video=youtube;BM-lzVB5QlA]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM-lzVB5QlA&feature=youtu.be&a[/video]

[QUOTE=Synelor;48382357]im loving that they use ds1 animations. that ultra greatsword swinging hnnng i dont like that estus heals instantly, seems almost unpunishable. hope they tweak it[/QUOTE] I think it's fine if combat is fast paced like it was shown.

[QUOTE=Ray551;48381113]If you guys want you could post some things I should try out while playing the demo, things you wanna know etc[/QUOTE] If it's an option, I'd be curious to know how the player characters' faces look this time around. It's easy to make a normal-looking person in DS2, but if DS3 has customization more like the first game then I'll be running around [url=http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/540708865559709511/B951BE95C37BB334F8875A7C256B2E49F5B0A134/]looking like this[/url] and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I wish they'd change the character creator to something more like dragon's dogma because that one is great.
