Skippy Granola posted:YOU'RE a eusocial insect. DS2 is a super shame because it's the encounter design that it mainly fails on and not the game elements that underly them. This game has yet to get really interesting as well, I mean Iudex Gundyr is a joke if you're familiar with the series at all and Boreal Valley Vordt is the beast boss they rejected from Bloodborne for being too easy. Not saying they're not fun, of course, because they are and this game is definitely way better than 2.

Liking the lp so far. I love this game, but drat if I can't parry. 100+ hours and well into NG++ and I still fail the majority of the time I try. Tank build ftw. Fat rolls all day.

DS2 is actually better than 3, especially when it comes to PVP. It turns out that the B in B-Team stood for Best all along!

So long as as we all agree that Bloodborne has the worst PvP of the bunch (can only invade folks who already successfully summoned an ally, and invaders get all their healing at their disposal so even 1v1 fights can turn into slogs), then I'm cool. I goddamn love Bloodborne but invading and being invaded in that game was anti-fun.

Bloodborne's PVP is very strange. It's definitely a war of attrition unless one person manages to stun lock the other, but it's pretty mentally exhausting because of that and so I can understand why they wouldn't want to make it as easily accessible for either party as Dark Souls. I think they might have over-corrected, though. Speaking of, since this was recorded on launch week and I was playing online, I did get invaded several times! So you'll get to see a couple fun duels with other living people in this playthrough.

I'm sure those trees shaped like skeletal humans, reaching up towards the castle in agonous desperation, totally don't mean aything. "Allow me to speak frankly: took you loving long enough, Unkindled One. Now go feed and play with the puppy dog." Aww I'm disappointed you corrected yourself and said 'most human shaped ones can climb ladders'. I wanted to see a puppy dog climbing up a ladder after you. 'I want to play fetch with your skull, hoo-man!!' I really love the big ol' vistas. And for one we have actual trees and not people made of trees! Fish Noise posted:You taintseeked Vordt again. It wasn't even a slow, deliberate crotch shot like from the stream, this one happened as you were both simultaneously moving around, as if your blade just magnetically homed in on his grundle. And it was beautiful

The tree-people are a really disturbing visual and I love it. Reminds me of all the hosed-up statues and things in Bloodborne.

If you aren't in Vordt's taint stabbing away you're doing the fight 100% wrong. Like that's not even a joke he's got reach for days and is shockingly fast at closing distance until you're under his dumb rear end then he's not really sure what to do about you other than get stabbed in the dick and die.

There's doing it on principle, there's doing it because it's good tactics, and then there's doing it like grundleCeekerJacobs. His sword is a steel homing pigeon coming home to roost in someone's butt. If you put him on a wheeled dolly he'd be slowly drawn, right arm first, towards the nearest enemy anus.

"Stab it in the rear end" is a tactic that rarely does one wrong in these games so it's a good go-to if you're not sure what a boss does. I'd imagine Vordt is a lot harder for people who never played Bloodborne, because he's exactly the sort of boss BB taught you how to kill over and over again.

Dark Souls 3 has a lot of enemies that are best dealt with using Bloodborne tactics rather than Dark Souls tactics, really. They seem to have reached a fairly good balance of enemies that are best approached with caution, versus enemies against which you're really better off just going balls-out and don't you dare stop attacking until it's dead.

Just wait till I fight this game's hidden bonus boss, Iudex Grundle. I will feel right at home.

This is true, the only problem really is that it's hard to tell which is which at a distance. Sometimes you'll close in on an enemy and start getting relentlessly owned and then it's like "oh I should probably have been aggressive"

I think it's probably better for my sanity that I don't have 4 LPs going on at once. I'd like to, but I just can't keep up. I'll pick this one back up after I have cleared my schedule and my head a bit, sorry.
