Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VII. Now Only Embers Remain - Games

[QUOTE=maddogsamurai;49375327]People need to stop dying to [sp]The Orphan of Kos.[/sp] Out of ten co-op sessions, only four of them got to the second phase before getting killed. The rest either get too greedy with hits, have the boss chase them around the shore, or have the boss get me while the summoner takes too long to find an opening. I just need one insight and all the sessions will teach me on how to avoid his attacks.[/QUOTE] I can just tell I'm in the area right before finding that boss. Going through the DLC first time on NG+ wasn't the best idea, but it sure felt like the dark souls/bloodborne struggle all the way through. Simons bowblade is so sexy looking [editline]23rd December 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=CrossNgen;49375404]Getting the Rakuyo is gonna be tricky...[/QUOTE] apparently those giants in that area can be parried more easily than others in the game

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;49375060]I mean, that's essentially Lords of the Fallen and we saw how that went. I only got like an hour into that before quitting.[/QUOTE] Lords of the Fallen did heavy armor gameplay really well IMO. If there's one thing to take away from that entire game, it's gotta be how powerful & slow heavy armor was. You legitimately felt like you had just given your guy the heaviest armor, the animations, the rolls, the SFX... Great, honestly. I do hope DS3 has that or something similar to it. I'd be happy with DS1's heavy armor mechanics, but if we got to be as unstoppable as the dude was, I wouldn't complain.

OK boys, time to get serious with that Dark Souls fight club thing With christmas coming near, it seems that the best way to celebrate would be dishing out some festive beatings to each other I'm going to be creating a Steam group shortly. In the mean time, would you guys mind letting me know what your preferred SL / game location / time would be? Possibly in the first game

[QUOTE=NoNameForEvil;49375193]How come you guys were going on about SotFS being like 2 bucks? It's £8 on Steam for me. [img]http://i.imgur.com/9xT4FD8.png[/img][/QUOTE] Regional pricing babbbyyyyyyyy. The US seems to be the only territory that actually gets it good consistently from Valve. Everyone else kinda gets some hit and miss shit I've noticed.

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;49375454] apparently those giants in that area can be parried more easily than others in the game[/QUOTE] You can say yes but dear god Fromsoft has a boner for slow attacks and because these giants deal so much damage and have a bad RNG, it makes them annoying. It messes up my head whenever i see the slowest attack in the game that can also track well, it's plain stupid.

I can roll or time blocks like crazy, but when a guy starts winding up and only unleashes the attack after a cure for cancer comes out, it seriously fucks me up. It's like it mindgames you.

Besides, people make mistakes and with him, one mistake can easily be death.

It's not a surprise people are having a hard time fighting him. I still haven't come close to killing him.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;49376835]If you're free, i'll help throw myself at him a few times[/QUOTE] If you can help me tomorrow that'd be great. I'm busy trying to not fuck up building a PC right now.

holy FUCK the skeleton beasts in NG+ Tomb of the Giants are a pain in the ass

tomb of giants is always a pain in the ass

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49377484]tomb of giants is always a pain in the ass[/QUOTE] I could just DPS them down without flinching at first but now I actually have to be careful

To be honest, speedrun strats are a lot safer in tomb of Giants

I remember back in the day where I first got DS2 and how much I hated the Bastard Sword. Now, I fucking love it. It's my go-to weapon for PvP, the moveset is actually pretty damn good for baiting attacks and making combos.

I really wish it had that heavy attack stab in 2 like it does in 1 though. [editline]23rd December 2015[/editline] Also, Hunter's Axe is my favorite weapon in Bloodborne. It's moveset is great. Spin to win.

Kirkhammer will always be my girl. I do wanna try the church pick on a dex build, though.

I feel like the kirkhammer's hammer form should punish harder

[QUOTE=For No Reason;49378784]I feel like the kirkhammer's hammer form should punish harder[/QUOTE] I think it should crack the ground and produce a bone crunching sound when it lands on something with bones

Kirkhammer is trash because you need to land the hammer hit directly or else all you do is whiff the enemy and do shit for damage with the splash.

I always ended up using the sword for that reason. you had to practically be touching the enemy for the hammer to do max damage. at least the sword did bonus church damage

[/URL][/QUOTE] I have zero chance of even making a good trailer, but maybe I'll try whipping something up. [editline]whoops[/editline] Gonna' stream myself trying to take on Ludwig at level 46. [url]http://www.twitch.tv/nidbutt[/url] Think I can do it? Let's find out. [editline]god dammit[/editline] Ooooorrr not. Dropping frames like mad. Guess my internet is too shit tonight.

-snip, sorry, thought it would automerge-

Alright, Level 27 and I'm gonna try to somehow kill Ludwig. I am READY for anal annihilation. Now I wonder if I can somehow summon someone [editline]24th December 2015[/editline] [quote]Pretty Raccoon Princess: I do Pretty Raccoon Princess: less than 30 damage Pretty Raccoon Princess: and Pretty Raccoon Princess: I literally cant fight it Pretty Raccoon Princess: it's like Pretty Raccoon Princess: trying to fight a bear Pretty Raccoon Princess: with a toothpick Pretty Raccoon Princess: a broken toothpick Pretty Raccoon Princess: made of water Pretty Raccoon Princess: so a wet fist Pretty Raccoon Princess: I'm fighting a bear with a wet fist [/quote]

Ludwig is no doubt the second hardest boss in the game behind the lonely sea babby.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;49380346]Ludwig is no doubt the second hardest boss in the game behind the lonely sea babby.[/QUOTE] Nah I think Ludwig's pretty easy compared to them. In my opinion, from hardest to easiest, it's: Orphan of Kos Laurence Ludwig Lady Maria Living Failures

K now I'm level 37 and have a +6 Pizza Cutter with some gems. Let's try ludwig again
