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

No, I parried him after he drank. I've never managed to parry someone while they use an item.

[QUOTE=Katatonic717;49396441]Dark Souls is literally Demon;s Souls but easier[/QUOTE] Lmfao what I didn't play much of Demon's Souls but if anything that game was straight up unbalanced and that's the only reason why it got difficult; NPCs not behaving by the same rules you had to play by was one of the biggest things that I noticed. Dark Souls 1 was ten times more carefully balanced as far as the PvE experience goes and it is as a result significantly more enjoyable to play than, say, DS2, which frustrates the fuck out of me with rooms that literally have 6+ of the exact same dudes just charging at you all at the same time.

I gave up on Demon's Soul after one hour or so after the whole concept of "tendency" was explained to me

Haha why [editline]27th December 2015[/editline] But for real though, it's still worth a try. If your world tendency gets fucked to your disliking, just start a new file?

demon souls is still great but its basically a very unrefined dark souls i would love to see a demon souls 2 now after From has a lot more experience with the Souls games

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49397426]No, I parried him after he drank. I've never managed to parry someone while they use an item.[/QUOTE] This. Brador can always be parried, even after using his Lead Elixir. Literally all that elixir does is prevent you from wailing on him carelessly. It doesn't even protect him either, he'll still take full damage from attacks. You just can't R1 spam, that's all.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49398824]demon souls is still great but its basically a very unrefined dark souls i would love to see a demon souls 2 now after From has a lot more experience with the Souls games[/QUOTE] As long we don't get an enemy like Old King Doran. But yeah Demon's souls balance is the shittiest compared to the rest and i did all tendencies which says something.

when will we get demon souls compatibility on ps4 that is the question ive only been able to play a couple of hours at a friends house

The fucking hunter you fight near Brador's cell that drops the church pick parried my beast roar I had no idea that was possible. That's risky as hell to do because if you're just a little too late, the bullet is reflected back at you

Demon's is super unrefined gameplay wise and for the most part you're fighting the stupid inventory load system more than the actual enemies. But honestly it's worth a play just because it has probably the best atmosphere in the series. I can't think of any fights later in the series that were as legit emotional as the Maiden Astraea fight.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49400401]gwyn imo[/QUOTE] That's fair. I mostly prefer Astraea because they actually speak to you in that fight and the dialogue kind of hit me pretty hard, but Gwyn is also an emotional fight in its own right!

they're emotional in different ways. astraea is because of the dialogue but gwyn is because of the music/significance of fighting him versus reality

I like that in Bloodborne, the NPCs are trying to make me stop killing beasts because I'm really just murdering people but it's not working because I really do enjoy the killing.

The G Man's dialogue genuinely upset me, tbh.

Also trying to find a new build anyone starting a new save that wants to play add me on psn ultimatekogyaru

I have a copy of Demon's Souls that my BF gave to me, but I can't be arsed to pull out my PS3 from the dusty residence that is my closet. I really wish they would just make it downloadable for the PS4.

I think world tendency is stupid, but unless you look at the wiki and read up on it you'd never even notice it.

I never will get to play with the Istarelle. :cry:

It fucking sucks to be doing well on [sp]Ludwig's first form[/sp] and then he does his [sp]near-instant kill charge attack[/sp] and he [sp]clips you with the very edge of his side[/sp] and kills you.

Just dodge everything as it comes at you. Also when he raises his sword pointing up, avoid the initial AOE then close in and get up in his ass. and just go crazy on him

How are you guys having trouble on his 2nd form? It's a hell of a lot easier than his first form because his attacks are actually readable.

Don't remember talking about his second form at all, just how bullshit his [sp]charge attack[/sp] is since there isn't much readability as to if you're out of the way at all.

Half of his sword slashes completely miss as long as you're digging your face in his asshole. Second form is piss easy compared to his first form. His charge attack is easy as hell to avoid too, btw. He always claws the ground first before taking the leap, making it very obvious when he's about to do it. And right as he's about to take the leap, just dodge left or right while locked on and the invincibility frames will ignore the charge's hitbox.

[QUOTE=Sammyroc;49403863]Don't remember talking about his second form at all, just how bullshit his [sp]charge attack[/sp] is since there isn't much readability as to if you're out of the way at all.[/QUOTE] He will always bow his head before charging, and yell right when he starts to charge.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49403871]He will always bow his head before charging, and yell right when he starts to charge.[/QUOTE] I know the tell about when he'll start his charge, I know that "dodge left = ezpz", it's just that several times it felt like I was out of the way of his charge and still ended up being clipped by him, which killed me.
