Dark Souls III: Witty Title Pending

[GloatingSwine]

According to a Namco's tweet it will be available for PS3 and X-box 360, which on one hand is cool since I don't own next gen console, but on the other hand if it isa re-release it is possible you would have to buy the whole thing again, which is annoying to say the least.

There's going to be a rerelease, but apparently the balance changes, new item descriptions, new NPC, and possibly the new enemy placements will be a free update.

Awesome.


Also: I just beat the grave-robbers. Actually kinda enjoyed it, even if it was basically "Oh, Gank squad ahead. Better put on my jogging shoes."

Onto the next crown, which gives regenerating spell slots... which means I can SLB continuously.

I thought the same thing at first but the crown is so ugly I ended up using my favourite fashionsouls headgear instead (Lion Warrior headpiece).

[Dusk Eclipse]

So.... like a hollow this threads comes back!

I got a new controller for my ps3 which means I can play DkS once more, and I find myself in need for suggestions for a build focus, I don't really know what to play right now so I thought the thread would have some ideas.

[Snowbluff]

I'm trying Ice Rapier, personally.

Oh god it's bad. Not to mention how ugly my character looks like. He looks like a jew (like, literally my third stepfather) with dreadlocks. I miss my hood.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I don't have any DLC yet... I'm poor

[Tome]

I've been toying with doing a pure pyromancy build. There's enough variety in the different pyromanices that it should be quite fun, and most of them aren't quite as easy to use as sorcery.

[Morty]

I haven't actually played Dark Souls 2 in months... I got stuck on the Fume Knight pretty badly.

[GloatingSwine]

I'm still back in time playing Demon's Souls.

Restarted offline because world tendencies were screwy whilst online and didn't change if I started the same profile offline.

Pondering whether to try for a platinum trophy on it, with ability to control WT properly it won't be too bad to get most of them, just a bit grindy to get things like pure bladestone.

[TechnOkami]

I've actually bounced back to playing DS I.

Man the combat feels so much different. I feel like I actually have weight to my character now.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I decided to bite the bullet and get the DLC and went down to Shulva in my 110 SL quality build, it was a rough start but once I decided to switch my Red rust sword for my Draengly sword things went a lot smoother, at least until I found freaking Thomas... I went in low health because I couldn't find the stupid bodies of the guards in the spiky area and boom... great chaos fireball to the face. It doesn't help I didn't get to the Sanctum's bonfire so now I have to run all the way down to it At least I got flynn's ring.

[Snowbluff]

My Thomas solution:

High AR big mace

Make it lightning

Sunlight Blade

Smash him until he doesn't get up.

[Dusk Eclipse]

I have like 5 faith and no soul vessels right now, might try to use my Large club though.

[GloatingSwine]

So I got a PS4 today to get my body ready for Bloodborne, and picked up Lords of the Fallen. It seems to be a fine way for soulsbros to spend a few months before the beasts are upon us. Based on suggestions from the internet I've started with heavy armour, and Harkyn fatrolls like a champ and stamina management is critical to combat.

It's pretty nice graphically as well, a good omen for Bloodborne. The graphical style might not be for everyone (warrior armour has pauldrons for days) but there is at least a strong aesthetic in play.

[Dusk Eclipse]

Lucky you, here I am saving up for a PS4 and Bloodborne... at the pace I'm going I might get it by May.

[TechnOkami]

I'm hoping they release some kind of PS4 + Bloodborne bundle, since it's literally the only game that I know of on the system that I want. I doubt it'll happen, but I can dream.

It's funny actually. On the PSP there's only one game I really want (Dissidia 2), and on the Wii U there's like, two I want (Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors).

[Snowbluff]

I have my PS4 and a few good games for it. I got Destiny from a deal, Shadows of Mordor for Christmas, and Kingdom Hearts 3 coming in. I've also been messing around in Warframe, which is free.

[TechnOkami]

Oh man I totally forgot about KH3...

[GloatingSwine]

I wouldn't expect KH3 any time soon, given that absolutely nothing about it has been shown yet, and all we know about it really is "using Unreal Engine 4, might have Star Wars/Marvel worlds".


My PS4 came with a reversible poster of Order 1886 and Bloodborne, so wouldn't rule out a pack in version, Sony are apparently of the opinion that they screwed up with Demons Souls by not putting enough faith in it.

[Snowbluff]

I suspect less of a screw up than the other Squenix games lately. At least they aren't throwing in on a whole new engine of their own this time.

[GloatingSwine]

I'm hoping for less of a screwup, all they have to do is not break the thing that isn't broken.

So... what's another good series I should check out?

[Tengu_temp]

My Thomas solution:

High AR big mace

Make it lightning

Sunlight Blade

Smash him until he doesn't get up.

Any weapon with good poise damage will work on him. I just stunlocked him with my zweihander to death, and I didn't even have any buffs at that point because I ran out.

[GloatingSwine]

In other news, I am finally starting to learn my way around Stonefang Tunnel part 2.

This means I can get on with dying to Flamelurker.

[Snowbluff]

Oh god. That's that one boss for me. One screw up in the fight totally screws me for the rest of it. And falling down that area is an easy way to die if yo uscrew up...

[GloatingSwine]

I really quite like that Soulslike is becoming a genre now.

Upcoming 2D Souls

[Snowbluff]

Yep, saw and I'm so on it.

[Tome]

The patch for the Scholar Of The First Sin is out.

Notable changes include:

• New NPC, found in multiple locations. (Check the Primal Bonfire in Black Gulch if you're already in the post game.)
• New optional final boss. Yes, that's right, you can potentially be doing three boss fights in a row now.
• Alternate ending.
• Easier farming for Twinkling Titanites and Petrified Dragon Bones via Covenants.
• New ring that allows you to fix your Soul Memory.
• Indicator in the Warp menu of the three most populated areas online.
• NG and NG+ no longer separated for online.
• Load time shortened on the PS3.

[Snowbluff]

Nice. I might have to dust off my PS3 to spent more time on the game. I still have to finish the snow DLC.

[INoKnowNames]

I really quite like that Soulslike is becoming a genre now.

Isn't it a subset of the RPG Genre?

Complete Souls Newbie, spurned on by the Best Friends Zaibatsu, Snowbluff, and a Steam Sale to dive into Dark Souls II.

Though I super screwed up... I learned about Depopulation and I started depopulating zones; now the people who invade me seem like they've already beaten the game! Or at least they're certainly using weapons I don't think I've even found yet. I'm definitely not fighting NG players at this rate, that's for sure.
