Important question: Can the knight fast roll with his starting equipment? I'm coming from Bloodborne so I need to be as agile as possible.

I am the reading the online manual on my PS4 and it starts like this: "Most games try to take you through a specific narrative, introducing you to the world and its characters at preset moments. The narrative in Dark souls takes a different path, the story and history this bleak world is one you must uncover yourself. Hints gleaned from item descriptions, optional conversations, and exploration of the detailed environment create a picture of the world. Trying to understand the lore and and story of Dark Souls becomes a kind of game within the game. You are never required to invest in it, or to care about the past, but there is a rich reward if you are willing to put in the time and effort piece together your own narrative". *Gasp* Did they just tell you how to play a Souls game? Worst game ever.

I feel like I'm compelled to defeat enemies that are too tough simply because I know you can do it. Then I proceed to die 10 times to this abomination. By the way, did anyone feel like the tutorial boss is a deliberate subversion of the boss fights in DkS2? I'm so glad I hadn't seen that beforehand.

I just realized after 5 hours that kick now actually sets up shielding enemies for riposte. I was wondering why the there was a huge delay when using on normal enemies, making it hard to combo anything off it. Anyone else having trouble pulling off the kick, by the way? It seems really finicky for such a simple input. I keep accidentally doing a normal attack on a shielding Lothric knight who proceeds to wreck me.

Farmed 30 mins for the Lothric Knight Sword after beating Vordt and made it Refined infused. Now I'm set until I find other weapons which I might like better. Also Free-For-All pvp is fun https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPihhFRam0s

Is luck worthwhile? How dramatic are the drop rates between high and low luck? Dex, Vigor and Endurance. Just focus on those and you're set.

So eh, Road of Sacrifices and Cathedral of the Deep. The levels themselves were fun but man, the bosses were incredibly underwhelming. I haven't fought a fun boss since Vordt. I hope the game starts to pick up the pace

I vaguely remember before launch seeing a video where you can stagger certain enemies by dealing enough damage and performing a special animation ala Bloodborne that is different from the riposte animation. Something like the character wielding the longsword two handed and just jamming it into the Crystal Lizard while it is staggered. Is my memory failing me? It seemed different from Riposte and Weapon arts.

Gortarius posted:I've found that an upgraded broadsword kills everything in 2 to 4 hits. I'm wondering if it's because the enemies are really weak as far as hitpoints go, or if the broadsword is broken? A lot of weapons can just stunlock regular mobs. Only the toughest enemies have enough poise to resist combos.

So NG+ is literally the same as in Bloodborne? Well that's ok I guess, since the game has more build options, respec feature and more NPC storylines. Still probably gonna start a NG after beating the game because it's harder to adjust to a new build on NG+.

I'll try roleplaying as a friendly mad phantom and hope that the host gets killed. Or try to get him killed indirectly by playing horribly. The chances are the host will just kill me but it might work occasionally.

Demon King was such bullshit. Dodging felt like a complete crapshoot when you went into melee range. Luckily I was able to bait his specific attacks in the last half of the fight by running away. Felt little unsatisfying though.

I LIKE TO SMOKE WEE posted:Is there any way to team up and invade people together? I would love to get in on some tag team rope bridge madness I've no idea. But another fun trick is to cut the rope as the host enters the area. This will swarm the area with skeletons which often equals certain death. Especially with an invader taking cheapshots. I'm horrible at pvp so I rely on stupid tricks like this. Also one of the reasons why the ballista area in Smouldering Lake is fun.

poptart_fairy posted:Guys, help me. As an unchigatana user that insists on keeping below 30% equip load - partly for the fast roll, partly because a shredded mask/chest/deserter trousers/fire keeper glove combination looks amazing - while having both carthus rings, I keep getting my rear end kicked in PVP. I'd win SO MUCH if I just put some armour on but it feels wrong to have beaten most of the game like this and chicken out just to get some extra tongues. Only invade in areas with tough enemies and annoying hazards and lead the host into mobs. It's slower but I've managed to get 20 tongues in one day without actually fighting.

Cyberventurer posted:Do people really do that? Just blindly run into enemies to chase down an invader? Whenever I get a non-ganking invasion and try that, the host and any phantoms immediately go into turtle mode and stop trying to progress in the level at all, or slowly pull one enemy at a time so they can make their way to me without overextending. I haven't fought a single person so far that either didn't play it safe, summon a ton of help, use a seed of giants or keep so much pressure on me that I couldn't retaliate. Yes. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F5zWpM4zDeo

I just taught my friend how to play Dark Souls 3 and after lending my copy he said "This is actually pretty tolerable, if it's good I might buy it". After he died to Gundyr dozen times I said "Think it's like playing Revengeance without upgrades or Zone of the Enders on Extreme, except much easier". It was wonderful how everything suddenly clicked and he started managing his stamina and exploiting i-frames to roll through everything.

Digital_Jesus posted:After playing through this through NG++ now... Dark Souls 2 was the first in the series that I actually finished and got me hooked. Even so I cannot share that opinion. So far Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 have been the games that really clicked with me. This might sound shallow but these games are just so gorgeous looking on PS4. It's like art in motion.

Etrips posted:What is a good cheese weapon to get through the main PvE elements of the game? And it seems like there is no point in wearing super heavy armor? Just dodge roll all day long? Heavy armour has decent damage resistance, just make sure you stay under 70% weight. Good cheese is well... I feel like any weapon you stick with from the start is good enough. I think you can just stick raw infusion on the first weapon you see and pump all your points into pyromancy for even more damage.
