This is the dark souls thread where we rant about poise not working in ds3 and other things relating to the souls franchise.
Have fun!!!!!

Just finished Dark Souls 3 for the first time a couple of days ago. Damn that was fun.
Only just started Dark Souls 1 now (got it included in a digital deal) but I'm focusing on other games at the moment instead.

Couldn't defeat "Yhorm the Giant" in Dark Souls 3, because that magical weapon doesn't work (or I don't know how to hit him in the head!)
So yes, I gave up and haven't played it for weeks.

Dark Souls 3 is cool. I like it more than 1 and 2, at least in terms of PvE. That said, I still prefer the PvE of Bloodborne over all the Souls games, but this thread isn't about that.

If you can't kill him then you can always summon other players (no one is going to judge you). I helped someone with Yhorm who already had another summon with him. 3 Storm Rulers against Yhorm... I almost felt sorry for the boss.

I finally watched this video and realized how easy it is:
I normally don't auto-select enemies because I need my freedom of movement.

I beat Yhorm without the Storm Ruler and thought I was legit.
Then I found out some guy defeated Yhorm by rolling into him with thorn armor for like 2 hours...People are fucking nuts.

The Souls series is quickly burning out, and i'm glad that Miyazaki is (or at least is claiming to) finally moving on and making a different game now that Dark Souls 3 is out.
It also doesn't help that I mainly played the Souls series for the PvP, and since Dark Souls 2 i've discovered a new game that blows Souls PvP out of the fucking water (Chivalry: Medieval Warfare).

I expect we'll get more Bloodborne games, and then another sort of 'Souls' game with a different swing on it. The games are practically a genre of their own now, and sure, other developers have attempted at doing games similarly, but nothing I've seen quite stacks up. Miyazaki knows how to make these games, and people love them. I don't think he'll do something really different any time soon.

That's what i'm afraid of. Simply changing the setting and adjusting mechanics slightly isn't enough to keep people (or at least me) interested. He needs to do something wildly different with the experience he has gained working on the Souls series.
I'd love to see a new Armored Core game, or even a reboot for Kings Field. At this rate i'm afraid that From Software is going to go into a steady decline if they don't change, provided people are as smart as i'm thinking they are which likely isn't a good thing to do considering COD is still selling well.

For me, it's the worlds he creates. I've done a bit of research on the previous Dark Souls games, played through Dark Souls 3 and gotten about halfway through Bloodborne, there is deep lore in those games. That's what really interests me about those games. The unforgiving combat mechanics are secondary. Icing on the cake. The cherry on top.

I love me some Dark Souls. I had to be coaxed into playing the first one as I'd heard it was punishingly difficult. My brother bet me $100 that I wouldn't be able to ring both the bells, so I decided I'd give it a try.
It was a bit difficult at first, as in action RPGs I tend to be the caster, staying way back behind a beefy meat shield. I had to learn melee combat, and I had to learn it fast. I turtled behind a shield (not a greatshield, none of my Dark Souls characters have ever had enough strength for one) and began studying enemy patterns and movement, which paid off greatly. Once I rang the second bell, I sent a message to my brother asking for that 100 bucks. 'No,' he said. 'Beat Ornstein and Smough first. Anyone can ring the bells. That was just to get you to start playing.'
It was at this point that I realized I probably wouldn't be getting the $100, but I kept playing anyway as I'd grown to love the game. Ornstein and Smough DID stymie me for quite some time, probably more than they should have, as after frustration set in I began to get incredibly sloppy. (I couldn't summon anyone aside from Solaire, my internet connection couldn't handle it. Often when I'd get invaded I'd get disconnected from XBL, people probably thought I was a coward. I remained hollow for most of the game.) I walked away from the game for about a month, came back and finally got that Lordvessel. (And no $100.) I beat the game, and was told that 'the journey was the reward.' And it kinda was, really. I've played and beaten all 3 Dark Souls (missed out on Demon's) and Bloodborne, but I think the original Dark Souls is still my favorite.
Dark Souls 2 gets a frowny face for making me burn through over two dozen bonfire ascetics to get a Catarina Helm. And for making me kill over two dozen ghostly Catarinans. (I'm a bit attached to Siegmeyer/Siegward. He's one of my favorite video game characters ever.) It also gets a second frowny face because after all my hard work to assemble the Catarina set, it stuffs the entire thing in a chest in the DLC. Which I never bought.
Dark Souls 3 was much better. I only got around to one playthrough, but it was great fun and a good end to the series. I'd write more about it but I have to run.

the only game that im familiar with is dark souls 2, im planning on playing dark souls 1. People say ds2 is the worst but i managed to find enjoyment in that weird game. I enjoy PVE and PVP at times. In pvp i don't care about winning or losing, i care about the fight and what i learn from it.

There were some annoying things like the max health loss but I liked it. You should definitely play the third one. It's gameplay in general feels a lot better, no more beef jerky (you, after you died) unless you want it and better level design than in DS2. Haven't played the first one yet but out of the two DS3 is by far my favourite and I'd recommend it to almost everyone.

Fuck Dark Souls. Fuck this fucking game. I spent 16 hours in the Undead burg cuz I couldn't get past that 1st boss..the bridge troll. I got so pissed off, that I loaded up on inferno grenades ( 30 of them ) I went up the tower where those 2 skeletons w bows were...and I danced with that fucker in circles as I chucked inferno nades at him until he fucking died. ( Then I you-tubed how other people killed him...turns out 2 downward thrusts from that tower kills him, you know...one of the very 1st things you learn to do in the game? ) ........Fuck that game.

Meh - i'm still enjoying DS3. I think for the most part it's a big improvement on DS2. I mainly play Souls/Bloodborne series for the PVE and Co-op though (my connection isnt the best so PVP can be very hit and miss).
It's still got enough variety for me to come back for more and that's despite Platinuming the game. I'm finding Sorcery is kind of disappointing in this game though

In pvp i don't care about winning or losing, i care about the fight and what i learn from it. I haven't pvp'd in ds3 but of the others I personally like the pvp in ds2 the most. It's the most fluid and balanced of the lot as far as I've seen. Also the higher rank auras you get for leveling up in the red and blue covenant were pretty cool, shame they don't have that in any of the other games! It was a nerdy kinda street cred when you were a glowing bloodbro in a fightclub and the fashion souls with it were truly epic!

That's why everyone should play DS2 first. A much better game that makes more sense, and doesn't screw you from the 5th minute. Putting that boss right there was a horrible mistake and disappointed a large portion of newcomers. Even I who had played 2/3 of DS2 couldn't kill that tough boss until my 20th try. After killing it, I was shaking for a minute or two...

Couldn't defeat "Yhorm the Giant" in Dark Souls 3, because that magical weapon doesn't work (or I don't know how to hit him in the head!) So yes, I gave up and haven't played it for weeks. You have to equip it and 2-hand it (Y-button/triangle button), then charge up its weapon art until it has a wind aura circling the blade, and finally launch the special attack with a heavy attack while holding down the button used to charge the special. You only have to hit the boss 5 times with the special attack to kill him.

If you had any significant trouble with the Taurus Demon, that's your own fault. The game isn't being unfair. All of his attacks are super telegraphed and easy to dodge, plus there's the cheese method with plunging attacks.
Really, the whole meme about the Souls series being SUPER OMEGA 1337 HARDCORE DIFFICULT BRO is fucking retarded. It's unforgiving, and yes it can be difficult, but there are PLENTY of other games out there that are more difficult than any of the Souls series titles. Literally all you need to do is press the dodge button when the enemy is about to hit you. If you can do this consistently, then congrats, you can beat any Souls game.

I won't even dance around it, you're horrible at the game if you have trouble with the Taurus Demon. The trash packs in the Undead Burg leading up the the Taurus Demon are harder fights than he is.

The point is this Tree Boss was easy: but this one wasn't: Because first you're not prepared, trained or leveled up, second you don't have enough room to dodge the first boss phase 2 attacks. For the above boss it's exactly the opposite. TBH I defeated the first boss because it screwed up in a few of its attacks but it didn't before!
