[QUOTE=Sweater;48922421]Can I say that Dancer has quite a backside? :v:[/QUOTE]
It is permitted to say such things, yes. I love how it crouches down the entire fight and sometimes even leans forwards on its knees to do a super long range poke, caught some of my cooperators out a few times
I wouldn't mind humanoid bosses if they were all this interesting, like that frost turtle knight as well, so I hope the originality continues

He reminds me of dopefish in a weird way haha, must be the accent and the uncontrollable laughter
[QUOTE=BANNED USER;48921558]Just make sure you're opted into the steamworks beta.[/QUOTE]
I thought you didn't have to do that. Wasn't it shoved into the main release?
[QUOTE=Nidhogg;48922081]Next video is up. This one's about 3 or 4 videos combined. Trimmed a lot of fat so there'd be nothing but meaningful content instead of pointless running around and dying.

Still processing, so HD may not available for a lil' while. Still have more videos to upload, but I think I'll do the rest after I sleep.[/QUOTE]
its 720p60fps, but was it? it looks like 30fps

Pretty sure the game is in 30fps.
Time for the second Euro stress test
Just an FYI you can go into options and turn on OnlineIDs instead of character names
Guess I'll be up all night for the Stress Test then.
so the online passwords, is that to let you connect to your friends?

It's the same as it was in Bloodborne.

Next video's up. It's me defeating the Dancer of the Frigid Valley. (Still processing, HD will be ready later.)

Boss isn't actually as hard as I thought it'd be.
Looks like the next test is starting for the US in about 24 minutes.
DS3 looks really, really fast. Was getting a little nauseous watching some of those fights. :v:
Trying out the cleric now since I played as the Knight last night.

First thing I immediately noticed is that the cleric's garb and cape really reminds me of Griffith's armor from Berserk. Also I found it strange that the Cleric starts with 6 flasks compared to the Knight's 10. Probably for balancing purposes for the sake of the stress test. I also love that they brought Sacred Oath back, although it eats a shit load of mana.

Also, what the hell does this Mace's sword art attack do?

Seems to be some kind of buff, but I don't see any noticeable difference in terms of how much damage i deal or how much damage I receive.
Still can't connect
So how do sword arts work? They kinda look like just a charge attack.
I think it's just their dumb name for "special attack"
[QUOTE=salty peanut v2;48927801]I think it's just their dumb name for "special attack"[/QUOTE]
not necessarily a special attack. here's what i gathered the weapon arts button (L2) seemed to do from playing the test:
shortsword: hold L2 get into a stance with your sword raised horizontally, then follow up with R1 for a special charged swipe that gaurd breaks or R2 for a swipe that covers more distance
greatsword: press L2 to briefly go into a crouching stance that gives you extra poise, then follow up with R1 for a huge swipe or R2 for a massive attack that launches enemies into the air (the coolest thing ever)
axe: press L2 to do a warcry which briefly gives your weapon an entirely new fancy move set
mace: L2 seemed to do some sort of magical buff but i couldn't figure out what
spear: press L2 to poke your stick over a ridiculous distance
duel swords: press L2 to do a spin attack which can be followed by R1 or R2 to go into a flurry
i think it adds some pretty cool depth to the combat. really curious to see what the sword art for great hammers will be. maybe an aoe ground pound mmm.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;48927709]So how do sword arts work? They kinda look like just a charge attack.[/QUOTE]
Every weapon and shield has their own unique special attack that you can use by using the L2/LT trigger.
For example, the UGS' sword art is an attack that gives you extra poise, allowing you to power through opponents with an attack that ignores stagger. The longsword's sword art is an attack that can instantly guard break an opponent who's shielding.
Also, I love love LOVE that the kick has been turned into the new guard break. Kicking an opponent whose shielding will break their guard and makes them vulnerable to a riposte attack.
So it's not just a simple charged attack to do more damage. That's really cool. The axe warcry sounds like a lot of fun.
The only disappointing thing about this stress test so far are the invasions. They take FOREVER while summons are practically instant, and they're tailored only to hosts who are co-oping. I really really hope PvP doesn't drop dead like it did in Bloodborne, but it looks like it's really heading in that direction.
If FS didn't want anyone posting images or talking about DS3, they really should have blocked recording

It is blocked, screenshots too. I'm just using my capture card.
so i just beat rom and uh
well this game took a sudden turn

The craziest thing is that those things were always there, watching. You could have seen them earlier if you had more than 40 insight
oh cool a hunter gank squad
i thought i'd only see that in an invasion, but apparently it's just part of the game now
don't bother being methodical in yahar'gul the best way through is to run past absolutely everything

And with that, it's over. Was fun while it lasted.

Cheers for all of the footage and information.

The only thing worth showing from tonight's stress test. For some reason, I always found it easier to parry with a regular medium shield in DS1/ DS3 compared to the small parrying shield. It's the complete opposite for me in DS2 lol.
Also, invading is straight-up frustrating. Having to wait 10+ minutes to find somebody plus only getting gank spanks is going to kill the PvP so fast. Had to resort to getting summoned to participate in fight clubs just so I can experience some quality duels.
oh god alfred what have i let you do
