Dark Souls 3 leaked - Polidicks

I wanted bloodborne to take more than 2 hours to beat on my first playthrough. I wanted soul memory gone in Dark Souls 2. I wanted no hackers in Dark Souls 1. (was a problem on the ps3 when the game was real hype) I want Dark souls 3 to be a lot like Demon's Souls difficulty, with Dark Souls gameplay.

[QUOTE=Tall Russian;47889717]If anything I actually want more of a Demon's Souls feel, then again Bloodborne does exactly that. Demon's Souls was the best souls game IMO.[/QUOTE] I especially liked the need to go to Hunters Dream every single time you wanted to level up. That combined with the atrocious loading times made the games title burn into my retinas. That and the summoning system were the bad things in it, otherwise it's a VERY good game.

[QUOTE=Novangel;47890213]Dark Souls 2 is a fantastic game, just not a great sequel to 1 since it falls flat in a lot of areas where 1 excelled in. Soul memory is a mechanic that was pretty dumb in execution, but it didn't singlehandedly ruin 2 or anything.

Oh wow, every souls game is a real trip for me. This series just oozes atmosphere, it's so intriguing with all the attention to detail, the crazy creatures and environments. I usually get really high playing for the first time and its such a wild trip.

[QUOTE=Neddy;47889619]Because that title isn't misinformation or anything. Its 'Dark Souls 3 leaks' not leaked. Leaked makes it sound like the actually game leaked out. Not just information.[/QUOTE] Sorry, it was 5AM for me when I made the thread since no one else had posted it. Hows "Dark Souls 3 anouncement leaked with screenshots and new gameplay details"?

[QUOTE=Hellreaver;47890230]Are they going to make us wait 6 months and pay again for the DX 11 version this time?[/QUOTE] this personally gave me the worst taste in my mouth after Dark Souls 2, haven't bothered to play it ever since they released that.

[QUOTE=Hellreaver;47890230]Are they going to make us wait 6 months and pay again for the DX 11 version this time?[/QUOTE] I just hope it doesn't come with bullshit GFWL that absolutely breaks online for 3 years.

[QUOTE=Grandzeit;47891189]I just hope it doesn't come with bullshit GFWL that absolutely breaks online for 3 years.[/QUOTE] Keep up with the times grandpa

[QUOTE=PredGD;47891213]why would it come with GFWL? GFWL died ages ago[/QUOTE] Just like the need to wait with porting a game to the newer consoles á la SotFS. :V

15 new bosses? That's kind of strange unless they're only talking about mandatory ones. DS had 20+, DSII had 30+, although I thought II was a little drawn out and had many squishy faceroll bosses.

There's likely some old bosses in there too, same way as Ornstein was in the second game.

Current gen only please, none of that "oh we'll just sell originally announced graphics features later" bullshit

[QUOTE=PieClock;47891846]That count is only for new bosses.

The environments look similar, and while I appreciate some of it is concept art, a lot of the dark souls elements look copy pasted on.

Old Dragonslayer was close to being a copy-paste of O&S without Smough.

Hell, even one of the screenshots mentions bonfires.

[QUOTE=PieClock;47891846]That count is only for new bosses. There's likely some old bosses in there too, same way as Ornstein was in the second game.[/QUOTE] Ornstein and the Gargoyles plus 35-40 original ones, yeah. If there are only 15 new bosses be prepared for a lot of recycling.

[QUOTE=Splarg!;47892149]Ornstein and the Gargoyles plus 35-40 original ones, yeah. If there are only 15 new bosses be prepared for a lot of recycling.[/QUOTE] Dark souls 1 didn't really have much more than that on release (if you don't count the repeat bosses, and the DLC bosses). I compare to Dark Souls 1 because they've said game length is equal to 1, not 2. Hopefully this is due to spending the resources on polish. If they take their time with these bosses and make them not shit, and they DO put polish into each and every one, then I'll be happy, because Dark Souls 2 definitely suffered some shit boss fights and a stupid amount of repeat fights. And if word is true that a boss like this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/uJ9m6K6.png[/t] Can transform into this: [t]http://i.imgur.com/hPFdifP.png[/t] Then I personally will be alright with it. But at the end of the day I'm a massive DS fan so I'm admittedly biased so we'll just have to see.

[QUOTE=Nidhogg;47890199]He's referring to how Dark Souls II's graphics were pretty amazing during its alpha stage back when the game was first revealed during development, but then got botched and downgraded for the retail release.

[QUOTE=Luxuria;47889110]I dunno, the only thing that I actually had problems with was Soul Memory and to me co op is crucial.[/QUOTE] It's really, really not. I've been playing through DS1 and I haven't summoned another player once.

[QUOTE=gk99;47892397]It's really, really not. I've been playing through DS1 and I haven't summoned another player once.[/QUOTE] He said "to me" Some people would rather play through the game summoning their friends and being summoned for their friends as opposed to just playing through it alone.

But at the end of the day I'm a massive DS fan so I'm admittedly biased so we'll just have to see.[/QUOTE] What if those blue ghost swords arent part of the arena and actually the new bloodstains to show the graves of other players that have died. imo that'd be amazing

Heh hebrew headstones. [thumb]http://i.neoseeker.com/n/9/dark_souls_3_leak_06.jpg[/thumb] Since it looks like concept art I don't think the text is important, and it's kind of hard to make out because of the crappy font (why do they always use fake biblical fonts?!) and everything in the foreground, but it looks like they used the same line over and over again on all the headstones. What I can make out reads: "Here lies an important, honest and [something] woman [something something something] in the morning..." I googled it, and it looks like the style of epitaphs you'd find on a Jewish woman's grave in the 16th century. So there you have it. Dark Souls 3 will have the graves of Jewish women.

People always complain about the flaws of DS2 and gush about how DS1 was so much better and I rarely see any better reasoning for it than "the matthewmatosis video said so guys did you see the matthewmatosis video you should really watch the matthewmatosis video guys listen to me recite the matthwmatosis video word for word!!!!!" Like most of the things I hear people complain about in DS2 were present and often far worse in DS1, and no one ever seems to give DS2 credit for the things it did right compared to the previous title. People love to complain about how bad Soul Memory is, and yeah, it's not great, but at the same time I think you've forgotten that they didn't just change the way matchmaking worked for shits and giggles. Hey, remember how in DS1 a character that had existed for 15 minutes could be invaded by a character that had beaten virtually the entire game, had their pick of all the best equipment, and upgraded it all to +15? Or that likewise they could summon that character and make any boss trivial? And hey, at least DS2's matchmaking is quick and fairly reliable. Remember in DS1 how 90% of the time when you tried to use a summon sign or invade you would wait over a minute for it to actually do anything, and usually it was just for it to tell you that it had failed? People also love to talk about how DS2's bosses aren't as good as DS1's, of course only comparing them to the best and most well designed of DS1's bosses. DS1 had plenty of bosses that were uninspired, and a pretty significant number of bosses that were poorly designed or that had a tendency to completely bug out, and people seem to just conveniently ignore all of that because hey, matthewmatosis said that DS1 was the good one! Hey guys, remember the Bed of Chaos, the Moonlight Butterfly, the Asylum Demon that you fight 3 times (4 if you count Smough), the Iron Golem, Pinwheel, the Capra Demon, the like, 70-80% of the bosses in the game that were minor variations of the same fight etc. Oh but wait, what about all the asset re-use in DS2? How lazy was that, huh? Yeah, I mean DS1 [i]never[/i] re-used assets. Oh I mean, unless you count the Asylum Demons (who were also pretty much a copy and paste of a Demon's Souls boss, so I guess they actually re-used it 5 times), the Capra and Taurus demons, the bounding demon that is for some inexplicable reason in the Painted World for no other reason than to awkwardly block your path and have the jankiest looking animation known to man, and [i]literally every single enemy in the Duke's Archives[/i] And hey, how about all the things that DS2 got right? No one ever seems to want to give it credit for that. Like for instance, improving greatly upon the fucking abomination that was DS1's UI. Or the fact that pretty much everything about DS2's controls and gameplay mechanics is an upgrade over DS1. Or the fact that it was actually a good PC port instead of an abysmal mess. DS1 had more unique and interesting art direction, sure, I won't argue with that. But that doesn't mean that DS2 is awful or even that it's art direction is awful. In fact, honestly looking at each game as a whole, I would say that DS1 is the weakest game in the series, and that's coming from someone who played it first. To be fair, that's probably because I've always been primarily interested in the Souls series for it's game design and mechanics, rather than it's art direction and atmosphere.

Each game has it's fair share of differences and issues. All I'm hoping for is an atmosphere like actual dark fantasy as what Dark Souls 1 had, along with the port, balance, fixed issue and larger amount of diversity of Dark Souls 2, with the fucked up and weird things from Demon's Souls ( [sp2]river of dead fetuses, the old monk, etc[/sp2] ). Soul Memory would be fine as long s they make it much less restrictive.

i can't wait for the wonderful pc port and to unlock it from 30fps

[QUOTE=Map in a box;47902809]i can't wait for the wonderful pc port and to unlock it from 30fps[/QUOTE] DaS2 was at 60fps, there's no reason a PC port of DaS3 would be locked at 30. That being said I doubt there wouldn't be any bugs like the weapon degradation issue that managed to make it onto the PS4 and Xbone versions.

[QUOTE=Grandzeit;47891189]I just hope it doesn't come with bullshit GFWL that absolutely breaks online for 3 years.[/QUOTE] Well good news! According to various rumors, Dark Souls 3 may not even get a PC version! :dance: Apparently, PC is "negotiable." With how successful Dark Souls 1 and 2 were on PC though, I don't see why they wouldn't. Maybe the PC community left a bad taste in FROM's mouth? Or, it could just be a translation error. Something like "the release window for PC is negotiable." Like how we got Dark Souls 2 a month after consoles. As for my take on the whole DS1 vs. DS2 argument, they're both great games. DS2 falls short compared to DS1 in some areas, and excels in others. Yes, hitboxes are wonk with some enemies in DS2, but same applies to some enemies in DS1 and even Bloodborne. Both "A-Team" games. No game is perfect, and oversights are bound to happen in games as massive and complex as DS1 and DS2. Never really cared about Soul Memory as most of my co-op playthroughs were with friends who started a new character along with me.
