Dark Souls changed my life and if I were about to be obliterated by a hurricane I'd like it to be what I was doing when I died

2 has the most build variety plus it's pretty easy to respec so you can make tweaks down the line. Also Bonfire Ascetics let you bump up the difficulty in certain areas and refight bosses.

Every Souls game should have had a refight bosses option

i couldn't finish dark souls 3 becasue it was super boring

yeah I think 2 gets around it bc it's more open and you can skip around the bad parts if you know what you're doing but in 3 you have to follow the super linear path

PVP is the most fun when you do something weird and creative like use chameleon in a really obvious spot and parry the person when they strong attack or pretend to be an enemy or knock them off ledges, etc

2-1 really kicks your rear end and it's super funny for them to throw the miner guys with their resistances at new players. Good memories of DeS ~

if youve done the hamlet then you should be able to do demons souls with one hand tied behind your back by now, try going back to it. the boss hp bars are so tiny in it

Maneaters always kick my rear end but I can beat Orphan in like 2 or 3 tries :sweatdrop:

some quick advice: dont sweat which character class you pick, youll be able to spec into any sort of ability you want later. also, don't get discouraged when you inevitably lose your souls! dying is part of the game, just take it in stride. if you feel like you're in over your head you might just be in the wrong area, if youre stuck on some skeletons or ghosts try following the aqueduct

all the item descriptions and stuff point to this but they had to gently caress it up so my headcanon is that nameless king is solaire

A warrior of sunlight with the same lightning powers as gwyn and an obsession with finding a lost sun in a game about losing your mind, identity, and purpose then going insane was so good...but it turns out none of it was intentional :(

i started playing dark souls 3 but it mostly makes me want to turn it off and play bloodborne or really anything else.

I start up a new game every few weeks and get excited for like an hour about doing a fun build but am over it by the time I get to the road of sacrifices

I think ds's decline in quality later in the game is generally overstated but I hope whoever designed the crystal caves was driven to seppuku

As bad as lost izalith gets talked about the part in the crystal caves is absolutely worse with the invisible walkways, curse clams, and seathe fight all happening in such a small span. It's just an easier and faster run to get through the physical area so it kind of gets overlooked.

I just wish magic was good again or at least usable. I got up through consumed king's garden and it was miserable and the build just never started working.

ive said it before but everything about BB is on another level, its easy to see it casting an enormous shadow on future soulslikes for a very long time

I think the plot and storytelling is what I noticed the most, it seems so much worse in 3 than any of the other games and following right after bloodborne didn't help it.

the guy that was the first to do successful no-hit runs of all the darksouls games has been trying to do a no-hit trilogy run of all three games back-to-back-to-back for the past 4 months or so. in the last week he's made it to the 50% point of the run about three times. he's completely insane
