Dark Souls 3

[Gravoth_iii]

You think the lore is being over analyzed? It is just the way everything is presented, so much is left to interpretation that i may look as such.

Oh wow didn't see that there my bad 

I do think most that he adresses in that video seems logical though, the deep part was really interesting. Though i do not care much for going into the lore in ds3 outside watching vaati etc.

I'm about to do another DS1 playthrough - do you guys use DSfix? (Assuming you're playing on PC).

DS1 is great, but I was getting like 20fps last time I played it. Is DS1 60fps a thing?

Yeah definitely get dsfix for 60fps, it changes some things like jump distance is slightly borked, and some ladders send you down into the abyss if you slide down in 60fps (2 ladders rarely used). But it makes the game look much better, though i do not use it atm simply to get used to 30fps for speedrunning the game.

[njames89]

Serious question. I guess more I mean should I play the original first or skip right to the last?

Dark souls 3 may be slightly easier, but has fewer viable weapons (basically straightswords are too good). Its also rather linear, and some areas arent too impressive, yet it might be the better game for a first playthrough since the controls are very easy to grasp, and some people dont like struggling with controls. Dark souls 3 also has much more online activity now which is cool in some ways.

Dark souls 1 however has better atmosphere, weapon variety, its much less linear and i feel like the combat and enemy design is much more satisfying, it doest feel hard just to be hard but feels simple yet punishing.

DS2 is a solid game, but i dont think its a good starter, not many has it as their favourite even if it was their first souls experience.

DS2 is underrated IMO, not sure why many consider it to be the worst in the series. I really liked that the atmosphere was so different to the other Souls games. And the fact that NG+ actually changes the type of enemies you see was really cool. PvP felt a bit more balanced too if you're into that.

PVP was so fucked up that it became fun and sort of balanced in its inbalance. A little bit like early crpg. Indeed that was the best part, and still holds its place as the best souls pvp (ds3 pvp is junk). Yet it lacks decent bosses, and some areas can be rather bland and uninspired to push through. Scholar of the worst sin seems to have only ruined my thoughts of it, though i do still enjoy it. The NG+ idea was really cool, wish we had seen more of that. Like how you get new items as well from higher ng, and things change in the world.

It is a solid game on its own, but much like ds3, when i start playing them all that happens is that i wish i was playing ds1. Basically, sequels to dark souls should never have happened, they shouldve been unique titles with unique ideas. Poor Miazaki probably is fully aware of this but was forced to do ds3, at least he got to squeeze Bloodborne in there (which i have yet to play, but it is incredibly well praised).

I would say go Dark Soul 3 first, then 1 and 2

I though Dark Souls 3 did the best in the idea of pretty much every weapon

no ladle though which is heresy

[Gravoth_iii]

I though Dark Souls 3 did the best in the idea of pretty much every weapon being properly balanced and viable, as well as weapon variety and unique weapon attacks. IIRC Dark Souls I sort of suffered from the poise meta. Only a few were truly viable at 120 pvp.

Shit dude, when I run into an R1 straight sword spammer, I'll just pull out a small shield and bait parries.

I meant more for the PVE. Dark souls 3 pvp is only about watching your enemy overextend then punish, never go in for the offensive. Dark souls 1 pvp sucked.

Best vid ever made by an italian.

Thats how its always been, summoning is broken as fuck in ds1. Im surprised you still see signs, i never find any now a days. Maybe my online is fucked. Just go solo, or try to find the bot signs, like solaire, or the witch beatrice.

It's weird because on my first playthrough years ago I never saw any non NPC summon signs. Now there are quite a few, but many of them just say [unknown]. Always wanted to try a bit of DS1 jolly co-op.

There are mods that improve connection quality, not sure how they work for co-op but its worth checking out.
