Dark Souls 3

[cheezMcNASTY]

Who else is experiencing this masterpiece of a HARD game?

I've been playing nonstop since it launched and I'm thoroughly impressed.

This is the best Dark Souls they've made.

This is one of those rare all-time-great games.

:dead:​

Umbasa! Actually Spikey and I done some co-op yesterday. A lot of people are saying it's easiest souls game yet but those people are lying. I kinda feel bad for the noobs cause they are gonna get their asses kicked hard xD It's crazy that the regular mobs are tougher than the bosses, at least early game anyway.

But yea it's great to see so much stuff returning from DS1.

Maybe when we've all beat the game we can set up some fight clubs. Loved those in DS2.

Ya know I've been thinking of getting Dark Souls 2 since a few friends play it all the time and have been telling me I need to try it- just not sure how much I'll play any of these games since I left Fallout 4 in the dust.

in my 3rd playthrough, amazing chest ahead

Lmao gotta love those kinda messages. I left some funny ones like that for the ratings.

They were something like "giant but hole ahead" and stuff about praising a door and soup

tl;dr What builds are you guys trying out?
I'm down to PvP with anyone on Xbox Live

These games seem to be best played when they're new and people haven't created metas or "established" what the top tier equipment is. There are so many different characters out there. When I interact with other players, I never know what I'll find but I've noticed pure mages are very scarce here.

In the past I always ran tanky strength builds so I thought I'd beat a DS game without being able to stagger things to win. Dex + pyromancy has been great fun. Beat the final boss not 20 minutes ago and holy cow was it an epic fight. The Uchigatana carried me all the way through. I've noticed a lot of people using it. All the DS1 nostalgists, I'd imagine.

If you are a patient learner, I highly recommend the series. I tried it for the first time a year ago. I saw this video and was intrigued. At first it seemed pointless and hard but the progression, sense of challenge, accomplishment, and amazing design uniquely sucked me in. I really can't understate how addicting progress is for this series. It became one of my absolute favorites and there are 3 games of great content to go through for a new player.

Bethesda only grabs me in such a way with an Elder Scrolls game and besides that no game does.

Ah you're on Xbox. I'm PS4 lol.

On my first playthrough I generally don't try a specific type of build. My character is more of an all rounder so I can try out different things. But I do prefer melee over magic so usually I'll focus more on str/dex and ofc end always helps too. Greatsword, straightswords & katanas are what I'm most comfortable with.

Speaking of the Uchi, every Souls games has that one weapon that can get you through the majority of the game or at least the 1st half. DeS had that spear (can't think of what it's called), DkS1 had the Drake Sword & DkS2 had the Fire Longsword. But I'm using the Irithyll Straight Sword atm in 3.

Dark Souls trolling is the best

Wow I'm late to this thread.

I'm really enjoying the game, currently on playthrough 2 and trying to platinum the game, I'm taking the second playthrough however, to mess around a bit.
Me and @blivvy have been dueling streams of invaders around the place thanks to the handy dried finger

I like the gsme but honestly I think dark souls 2 is still my favourite. Spells seemed more viable in that and I feel like they are trying to make souls as fast paced as bloodborne, not like there's anything wrong with it since I enjoyed it too, I just think it puts more of a hinderance for slow heavy builds.
Going to get thr season pass soon and look forward to future dlc.

I'm SL166, I think I had better stop levelling though...



Last thing to mention
F*** the nameless king.

 

[blivvy]

I've taken a break from the game atm (it's all naughty dog's fault). But I've gone through the majority of the game with my sorcerer and I find magic to be decent but I did expect the likes of soul spear to do more damage :/

@Spikeyroxas this theme shall haunt you forever xD

i cant stop hearing that boss soundtrack. i can play it fluently with instruments now probably

Picked up a PC copy if anyone wants to fight club or mess around.
You getting it, @Steve Powell ?

Thinking I'll try a quality/luck build this time around.

When lag is OP and one shots you...

Take a look at @blivvy86's Tweet: https://twitter.com/blivvy86/status/733345642634940417?s=09

Just seen this video on YouTube. Nice cosplays eh?

So we get to go back to the Painted World of Ariamis. That should get the nostalgia going for a lot of fans.

Painted World -> Trailer

Painted World Entrance -> Trailer

I'm hoping. Hoping. That they include more Anor Londo exploration with this. It always felt like you never fully explored it even in the first game. In DS3, you barely pass through.

If there was a game that entirely took place there, I would geek.

 

[Spikeyroxas]

Ooh it's the same world as the painted one?
A bit of priscilla action again eh?? ))))))

 

[blivvy]

Ah yes, Priscilla...

Spoiler

I remember stabbing her with my blade. If you know what I mean xD

But yea painted world was cool. Creepy and challenging.

It's nice to see some new spells too. I'll prob play the dlc with my mage first.

im hoping the new miracle actually deals some decent damage. The lightning attacks were really bad, sunlight spear wasnt even a covenant miracle and it shows
