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

DS3 players, can you explain how well Poise works? Is poise even in the game? How crazy can you get with it?

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;50010487]DS3 players, can you explain how well Poise works? Is poise even in the game? How crazy can you get with it?[/QUOTE] It doesn't work like Dark Souls 1; as far as I can tell, Poise in Dark Souls 3 is only active while you're in an attack animation.

[QUOTE=archangel125;50010515]It doesn't work like Dark Souls 1; as far as I can tell, Poise in Dark Souls 3 is only active while you're in an attack animation.[/QUOTE] so how do you deal with stunlocks? Can you roll away after a combo?

Not sure if poise is even in the game, I just know that certain attacks give you hyperarmor. Its really hard to tell with pvp being as laggy as it is right now.

[QUOTE=archangel125;50010423]Well, haven't played, but I watched a lot of streams. Answer, without taking specific names: [sp]Not as interconnected as Dark Souls 1 in the sense that each new area generally has only one exit and one entrance, but otherwise way better than any Souls game that's been made to date in the overall scale, complexity, and attention to detail. That includes Dark Souls 1.[/sp][/QUOTE] Wait, you watching streams? I thought you guys didn't like spoilers. I've literally watched up to the ending [I]boss[/I], not the actual ending cinematics. I dunno why I don't care so much, but even then when I actually go ingame I barely renember anything I watched lmao Edit: There's a track called [sp]Secret Betrayal[/sp]. Does this mean that the [sp]Elite Knight NPC[/sp] who [sp]pops in periodically[/sp] actually [sp]betrays your shit?[/sp]. That would be so cool actually, considering [sp]Miyazaki actually planned for it in DS1 with Oscar countering whichever ending you picked and fighting you over it.[/sp]

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;50010535]so how do you deal with stunlocks? Can you roll away after a combo?[/QUOTE] Well yea you always have frames to roll out

My character will be named Bahamut like all my caracters :v

question: does coop show char name or steam name?

[QUOTE=lintz;50010589]question: does coop show char name or steam name?[/QUOTE] I want you to think about that question for a minute. :v:

[QUOTE=archangel125;50010619]I want you to think about that question for a minute. :v:[/QUOTE] Altough what you do infer is right, one could make a comparison with XBL / PSN names

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;50010633]Altough what you do infer is right, one could make a comparison with XBL / PSN names[/QUOTE] Maybe, but historically PC has been different anyway, right?

[QUOTE=lintz;50010589]question: does coop show char name or steam name?[/QUOTE] Well i can't tell about steam names since only review copies have been giving early but just like Bloodborne, you can switch name character to ID name (PSN\Xbox1), i do wonder how Steam will be though.

Speaking of returning armor, did the Heide Knight set make it back in? If I have that chestpiece, I can make my favorite bit of Fashion Souls out of it and some of the things that have been confirmed to return.

Is my fashion a thing in DS3? Used to be Mask of the Child, Havel's gauntlets, Knight Leggings and Dingy Robe in DS1. Had to swap the mask out in DS2

[QUOTE=archangel125;50008986]More info about Dark Souls 3. Nidhogg will be happy to hear this: [B]There's a character limit of 16 on character names, including spaces.[/B] So you've got a little room to play around.[/QUOTE] did they block stupid combo's like ho making "t**mas" a banned name or kNIGht stupid assholes ban 'nig' in a game about knights

Mid game spoiler question (DS3): [sp]how do i find patches? i saw in a video where he is supposed to be, but the fake seigward onion guy isnt there :'( the only time i encountered onion dude was when we fought the big fire monster early on...[/sp]

how am i supposed to upgrade my zweihander past +10 in ds1? I'm almost positive its possible to get it to like +15 but I just dont see the option to reinforce it anymore, not even greyed out in the menu its just gone.

I honestly don't know how he got there, either i'm blind or i must had triggered something to make him appear there like pulling a leaver at the lower level. The only reason why i went there twice was because i ended up falling to my death the first time. [/sp]

new londooo???? uuu god, my only memory of that place is like from when i first tried to get into dark souls and ended up there instead of the undead burg right after first arriving in firelink shrine, got fucked by ghosts in seconds. how am i meant to kill the ghosts then? maybe i have an item that lets me kill them now or something? i only just got the art of abysswalking from that dog (which was easy as fuck btw i'd seen so many vids of people struggling on it but jeez), does that let me kill them? i vaguely remember hearing being cursed lets you kill the ghosts but after going through most of the depths and all of blighttown cursed with half hp im never letting myself get cursed again

Does anyone have a picture of all hairstyles/beards available in DS3?

My brother and I have colluded and are planning an (weapon and armor set spoilers) [sp]Ornstein and Smough[/sp] cosplay build duo in Dark Souls 3 for PVP. We plan to upload a video with the gameplay footage and hopefully many laughs will be had. We usually don't much care for ganking in PVP, but we figure that it might actually make the day of a few invaders to fight a pair of cosplay builds done right.

[QUOTE=KaptonJack;50010392]People playing! How's the world design?[/QUOTE] I'd say I'm about 3/4 of the way through (I think) and[sp]every area has had little nooks, secrets and multiple paths as well as shortcuts. Like archangel said, it's not like a DS1 'web' but more like a mix between demon's and DS1 - when you reach a new area there's a general linear direction, but each location has a wealth of paths and items to find. You can still look around and see landmarks in the distance though, Lothric definitely feels like a geographical location. Overall i've been enjoying exploration immensely.[/sp] [editline]26th March 2016[/editline] Ah, there was one area that I didn't really enjoy though - [sp]The Izalith/Chalice dungeon-like area. The area with the giant roots/trees, crabs and giant triple crossbow was great, but the area after with the goatmen and mazelike modular level design I found to be pretty boring. That's literally my only issue with this game so far, maybe I just missed a ton of secrets, I don't know[/sp]

L. Stein and Smuph cosplay in there while you're at it.
