Zorak posted:Dark Souls definitely has a lot of inspiration from Berserk. One of the ultra great swords is almost exactly the Dragonslayer. My latest DS2 playthrough is all about the Greatsword. And a crossbow in my off-hand. And throwing knives. And Flame Swathe as the closest thing I could get to a cannon. It's turning out to be a remarkably effective build.

muike posted:I think the ending, if we ever see it will be at the very least bittersweet, and not awful. I agree with this, simply because as a general rule the situation has become more hopeful as the story has gone on. Initially, Guts was alone, with no friends except Puck, and no hope. Now, he's got Schierke, Farnese, Serpico and Isidro along, and the whole thing is just generally more upbeat than it was. I don't think Miura is going to go from this all the way back to the bleakest pits. I don't expect a happy ending, but I think we'll see something with at least a glimmer of light.

papasyhotcakes posted:Does anyone think that the series will actually be completed at this point? I love every single chapter of it but with 2-3 chapters coming every 6 months I kinda see it as a dim prospect that the series will have a proper ending instead of just kinda entering into a permanent hiatus. I have to admit, I do worry that Miura will... well, die before it's complete.

So I found this old C. J. Cherryh book, and look who's on the cover. (warning enormous image) Separated at birth?

"Oh, hey, the new Koei Tecmo project is revealed today! I should check and see if it is a Berserk game!" "Okay, it is! Uh, that's a worrying choice of still. I'm sure it just comes up for a flash, and the trailer will be all about Guts murdering fools." "..." "Yes, right, thank you. Gonna be not telling anyone I watched that.

PhantomOfTheCopier posted:He also enspires people by throwing them (presumably) hundreds of feet up onto spires atop steeples.  Bravo, sir. Bravo.Also, Idris Elba as Guts... I can see it! Black Guts seems weird, but yeah, I can definitely see it. His voice would work well, too. If I have any qualms, it's whether he could pull off the "screaming rage" scenes well enough...

Captain_duck posted:Before the end, that behelith guts is carrying around is getting used. It's a extremely horrible Checkovs gun. No idea who is going to use it, could be Guts, Puck or maybe even Casca. Maybe Guts will do it to gain the power to kill Griffith but that seems unlikely. Maybe Guts dies and Puck or Casca uses it to revive Guts somehow? Man, I dunno. In another series I'd agree with you, but I can see Guts as he is now being very staunchly against having anything to do with the loving thing. I find it very easy to imagine Miura doing a bit of a fake-out with it though; Guts in a moment of crisis holding the Behelit and staring at it before another six-month cliffhanger, then back to him going "gently caress this," and hucking it into the ocean or something.

I read and enjoyed Claymore; I think it's fair to say that superficially it has a similar tone, but I think it lacks the sense of overarching design which makes Berserk feel so interesting. It's good and worth reading IMO, but not the sort of classic that I'd go out of my way to recommend.

Just imagine finding Volume 2 on the shelves in a bookstore and picking it up without knowing anything about the series.

Solice Kirsk posted:If you guys wanna see a whole bunch of weirdos trying to defend borderline child porn you can head over to the Berserk thread in ADTRW. Not a saga yet, but gently caress that place and everyone in it. That was fast.
