Dark Souls 3 - April 2016 : You Died, You Died, You Died

Enomoto

this purple Phantom why do I keep bringing him he doesn't understand what's going on

lol

how do you do this? put down a white soapstone? do u need a covenant? what do i do to get on this

Go to high wall bonfire drop white or red summon sign I'll start using ilx as pw again for the next few mins. What's ur char name? No cover needed but fair warning jordan is killing everyone rn

Adam we're both on ps4 :(

Covenant not cover

ah this is ps4 only? i guess no cross-platform

Stacia

Yeah no cross-platform unfortunately.

Some really good matches here! Also some healing goofballs but that's ok too.

Oh man I really need to get that guy who's having a streak w/the fire twinswords.

Wow people are actually using magic to good effect. With this one guy, it's like fighting a boss.

Yeah this magic is tearing it up v interesting

I can host too if you want some action

it's cool I may head off in a little bit I'll keep it going until then. Ps 136k souls for free

lmao i think that's it for me today

I'll push for pontiff next time, I need to get hollowed for this build

Ok thanks, that was really fun!

Back to figuring out what to do about the Princes I guess

Ok the last boss was hilarious. Kinda cheesy, but pretty fun to fight (so many moves to learn how to read).

I'm sure I'll keep doing pvp for awhile and it would be fun to try some other builds, but finishing the game always breaks the spell for me. Which is probably a good thing, as I've been playing this every spare moment I had.

omg that final fight
maybe on ng+ i will start fighting bosses solo. i doubt it tho.

bosses i summoned for:

Crystal Sage (don't regret it, seems tailor made for co-op, otherwise it's bullet hell)
Wolnir (eh, don't feel like i cheated myself out of anything in particular)
Champion Gundyr (the main regret of my playthrough, should have figured it out solo)
Nameless King (kinda regret this but it was fun teaming up with a friend)

i missed out sat., maybe next time. im doing 2nd playthrough w/ no summoning and am up to cathedral. i embered to get the npc invader in crab area and it pulled in 2 additional blue invaders... what kind of balancing is that? or is there some watchdogs thing im not getting?

like sentinels helping you? probably that patch that was supposed to make the matching more lenient for blues and darkmoons.

1 npc and 2 human invaders so 3v1

oh that sucks, must have improved summoning ranges for watchdogs too.

the library is so cool. way better than DS1 library.

this crazy wax sorcerer who has a lit candle on his head walking through this doorway was pretty dreamlike and scary and the grasping spectral arms that grow out of certain books in the library are fantastic

it's almost like...vector graphics? what is this effect? just a low poly monster?

i was too dumb to figure out what dipping your head in wax did, a friend had to tell me.

5 million bucks!

anybody want to fight?

sick minifigs

Yeah, $100 for all that is actually not that bad and if it's ever available for straight up purchase, i will likely cave.

So, again: anybody want to fight? Or co-op? I'm on my first NG playthru and at the start of the poison marsh level.

i mean it's like 90 minifigs and the game for $110... but it's shipping from China and god knows what that's gonna cost ultimately.

are you on steam? gonna play some DS3 tonight and i am down for some co-op!

do we need to be the same covenant or soul level or something? i'm forever fuzzy on the specifics of PvP.

PS4 unfortunately.

i'm down during the day on Sat.

i will be at the studio sadly.

ok good, i'm supposed to be in the 'studio' too.

i kinda love these btw:

lol, i know which one i am.

anybody wanna fight? I'm free until the golden state game

how would people compare this to Bloodborne difficulty wise? bloodborne is the only souls game i've played so far, and looooving it despite the PAIN. just curious if i should leap into DS3 after that, or maybe go back to the ps3 titles first. opinions please!

my brother and I have been talking about this a bit as we were in the same position: the rhythm's slightly different. more focus on defence, depending on your build. bonfires/lamps a lot more frequent in this particular instalment. i was hit quite hard by loss of sidestep and R1/R2 combos, and it's taken me a while to get used to shield and two-hand wielding/special moves. I mean you can have a Bloodborne style build, but I'm not sure that half the fun isn't clanking round in armour with a large claymore. levelling's a more subtle and meaningful affair too. I'd say just jump in.

:(

i think Bloodborne > DS3 is probably an easier transition than going to DS1 or DS2. but they all have their own feel and mechanics that take some adjusting.

always classic
