Dark Souls + Demon's Souls + Bloodborne Megathread VIII. At The End - Games

Covenant spoilers but [sp]you can be a dragon again :][/sp]

Another minor item spoiler: [sp]Embers[/sp] can be farmed from [sp]Lothric Knights[/sp]

[QUOTE=archangel125;49992789]Another item spoiler: [sp]Embers[/sp] can be farmed from [sp]Lothric Knights[/sp][/QUOTE] That's a pretty minor spoiler I'd say. Best to tag something so trivial as such edit: (minor ring functionality spoiler) [sp]It seems the blue tearstone ring is pretty good this time around at least to start with, certainly saved my ass once or twice in my stupidest moments[/sp]

OST Spoiler, non-boss related I think. [sp]The Secret Betrayal[/sp]; it sounds, haunting, mournful even. Whatever could this entail? [sp]Does someone actually betray us? Ludleth of Courland maybe?[/sp]

[QUOTE=MrHeadHopper;49990550]The creativity rating on the bosses went WAY the fuck up. Even the humanoids are unique to the extreme, they really took the full measure with this one. [B]But I did hear something about the game being shorter. Quality > quantity I guess?[/B][/QUOTE]I'd honestly much rather have a shorter game if it means that enemies, bosses, areas, weapons, gear, and questlines are done extremely well. I have no issues with Dark Souls 2 but none of it is particularly memorable, it kind of feels all over the place (mostly because it really is all over the place) meanwhile I have so many memorable moments I can look back to in Dark Souls 1.

[QUOTE=archangel125;49992516]Thought I'd share some non-spoilery hitbox porn to dull the irritation of delayed parries in Souls 3. This wouldn't have happened in Dark Souls 2. [vid]https://giant.gfycat.com/BarrenPositiveGourami.webm[/vid][/QUOTE] wow that character is just straight up pre-Eclipse Guts

Is there any reason why I can't use my white soapstone outside of the second boss' arena? I'm not in LoC mode

[QUOTE=J!NX;49992582]any info available on unarmed / fisticuffs and whips? daggers? I hope that they are as good as they are in ds2, with whips MAYBE getting a /SLIGHT/ nerf[/QUOTE] why would you want a whip nerf, any whips that were viable really stopped being good for me halfway through the game (like, after iron keep), and not to mention having shit durability that made them too much of a bother for me to continue using them

defeating bosses creating 'another area' that phantoms can't pass needs to fuck off tired of being summoned and then "they have left the area" [editline]23rd March 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Furnost;49992971]why would you want a whip nerf, any whips that were viable really stopped being good for me halfway through the game (like, after iron keep), and not to mention having shit durability that made them too much of a bother for me to continue using them[/QUOTE] for PVP whips that are fully upgraded with an infusion can take out like, more than half of most peoples health in one hit, or even just 1/3 they can't be parried, have insane range, can be used through walls, dual whips are very fucking aggro no less this is from someone who regularly uses them

Is there a neat list of location names? Only thing I'm having issues with since they're only on the screen for a second I think DS2 had a cool one where you could click to reveal each new area name as you progressed (think it was on a wiki)

DS3: [sp]Where do i go after the curse wood boss? ive been down seigmeyers route and it loops back around to the tree shortcut :([/sp] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Spoiler" - Novangel))[/highlight]

spoiler tag your questions you ass [editline]23rd March 2016[/editline] actually fuck it I'm out of this thread now

To the rest of us they took off almost no health, but were dangerous in that they caused buildup of poison or bleeding.

There goes the first spoiler I guess :rolleyes:

Well I guess It's time to leave this place. See you all when Dark Souls 3 gets a GOTY edition and goes really cheap on sale :v:

[QUOTE=Louis;49992754]Covenant spoilers but [sp]you can be a dragon again :][/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]Was i right in saying that the Aldirtch Faithful is the Dragon Cov?[/sp]

(crossbow functionality spoilers) [sp]it seems you can manually reload your crossbow now, not sure if late on this. R1 to fire, R1 to reload, no more slow walk after firing, you can tactically reload There's a small arrow icon on the weapon slot as well to let you know if you have a bolt loaded or not[/sp]

Not gonna put any spoilers but damn frame rate dies in some places.

[QUOTE=Sweater;49993301]Not gonna put any spoilers but damn frame rate dies in some places.[/QUOTE] Playstation or Xbox?

[QUOTE=Sweater;49993301]Not gonna put any spoilers but damn frame rate dies in some places.[/QUOTE] Yeah, in the [sp]swamp[/sp] area, Peeve's framerate dropped to like 20 from 60 (He's running the PC version). And I'm pretty sure he's running a beefier rig than mine. Welp.

Basically suffers from the same issues that were in Bloodborne, if you have an enemy or something that has a lot of bleeding shit going on your fps is tanking like fuck.

[QUOTE=Novangel;49993320]Playstation or Xbox?[/QUOTE] Playstation. A pity but i can live with it.

Speedrunning this game is probably going to be hard. An awful lot of enemies seem to run faster than the player, and follow you a long, long way.

Wow the fact that you can straight up buy the game in Japanese and it shows that the English version is completely done is utter fucking horseshit

OK so I've realised a few hours in that I'm actually in offline mode lol Is this something to do with the fact my JP account is the primary, but doesn't have PSN?

Why did you spoiler the plaintext link and not the part where you basically confirmed the existence of that

[QUOTE=Synelor;49993585]for those concerned about the [sp]dragon covenant[/sp], fear not [sp]http://i.cubeupload.com/jWCqCq.png[/sp][/QUOTE] That looks weird but awesome.

[QUOTE=The Rizzler;49993598]OK so I've realised a few hours in that I'm actually in offline mode lol Is this something to do with the fact my JP account is the primary, but doesn't have PSN?[/QUOTE] Just run it through your main account if you have PSN on that

Bonfires confirmed in Dark Souls 3, guys. Oh, yeah, spoiler alert.

So... why isn't there a worldwide release for the game????
