DeMonkey Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) So much for DS2 being the last one. Not complaining though of course. Looking forward to a new one. After watching im guessing this is a Prequel to number two. That fella looks awfully like the Giant King/Lord. Also, blackened Ivory Crown 1 minute in?

Brandr_ Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Right now I just want ti to be better than Dark souls 2. That means no arfticial difficulty using bosses that self multiply, and no fuckign oneshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 That means no arfticial difficulty using bosses that self multiply, and no fuckign oneshots I really don't see how self multiplying bosses (in this case, it'd be the Dark Lurker) being counted as artificial difficulty If you were talking about the Throne Guardian and Throne watcher, then I'd agree. Also the oneshots would only really happen if you were as low levelled to get oneshotted, because I never get onshotted (unless it's a backstab from a UGS) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azryte Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Thought it looked interesting, then giant lord shows up. Still going to keep an eye out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a prequel or a continuation of Drangliec because that castle looks very similar to Drangliec Castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renan.Ruivo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Tbh i never got what everyone means in regards to Dark Souls' difficulty. I mean, it's not an easy game by any means, but ... hardly anything out of the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's not an easy game by any means, but ... hardly anything out of the usual. When Demon's Souls and Dark Souls came out, it was at a time when difficulty in games was rarely really seen in how those games handle it. Now it's common place and we all expect, quite frankly I don't care for the difficulty because all the games are now easy for me. What I'm interested in is the setting, enemies, lore and armor/weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiabolusUrsus Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I really don't see how self multiplying bosses (in this case, it'd be the Dark Lurker) being counted as artificial difficulty If you were talking about the Throne Guardian and Throne watcher, then I'd agree. Also the oneshots would only really happen if you were as low levelled to get oneshotted, because I never get onshotted (unless it's a backstab from a UGS) Including DLC content, @(*()$ HALF of DSII's bosses were gank bosses. This means the bosses don't have to have particularly interesting or difficult to figure out patterns, because they can attack you from 2-3 directions at once. I wouldn't really call this "artificial" difficulty," but it's really annoying when the first Dark Souls got a lot of positive attention because of how interesting its boss fights were. There are only so many things that can happen when half of your bosses rely on attacking you from outside of your camera view. One-shots are also okay. They've always been a part of Dark Souls depending on how you distribute your stat points. THAT SAID, they had better @(*()$ take the magnets off of enemy weapons for DSIII. I cannot properly express how frustrating it is to be hit while behind an enemy that strikes forward. Polish the hit-frames, tighten up the animations, tweak the telegraphs, whatever you need to keep it difficult, but for the gods' sake cut out the BS move-tracking and random AOE. Also... pls fix jump attack/guard break input frames and parry frames for PC. Which they ought to have fixed for Scholar of the First Sin, and if we're being strict, shouldn't have been an issue in DSII to begin with.

NEED I MENTION HOW HORRID THE FOU- SORRY, I MEAN FIVE OLD KINGS WERE. OR HOW ANNOYING SMOUG IS WITH HIS CHARGE ATTACK? OR HOW CAPRA DEMON IS PURLY BASED ON THOSE POISON DOGS GIVING YOU TROUBLE? Also I counted 9. 9 out of 32 bosses. That's really half of all of DkS2 bosses eh? And I'm only counting the ones that really qualify as gank bosses, not the ones which can summon someone as those aren't on the same level. One-shots are also okay.

DiabolusUrsus Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Also I counted 8. 8 out of 32 bosses. That's really half of all of DkS2 bosses eh? Count again, and account for all multiple-enemy bosses, whether they're multiple copies of the boss or not. 1. Flexile Sentry + Shadows on NG+ 2. Ruin Sentinels 3. Belfry Gargoyles 4. Skeleton Lords 5. Elana, the Squalid Queen(Velstadt Summon) 6. Royal Rat Authority 7. Prowling Magus and Congregation 8. The Duke's Dear Freja 9. Royal Rat Vanguard 10. Twin Dragonriders 11. Looking Glass Knight (Phantom Summons) 12. Throne Defender and Throne Watcher 13. Afflicted Graverobber, Ancient Soldier Varg, and Cerah the Old Explorer 14. Burnt Ivory King 15. Lud, the King's Pet and Zallen, the King's Pet Pretty close to half. Edited June 15, 2015 by DiabolusUrsus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Tbh i never got what everyone means in regards to Dark Souls' difficulty. I mean, it's not an easy game by any means, but ... hardly anything out of the usual. Some games do/did seem to generally spoonfeed you stuff and didn't provide that much of a challenge and sometimes felt lacking.

DeMonkey Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 What I'm interested in is the setting, enemies, lore and armor/weapons. The video seems to relate heavily to the crowns DLC (Perhaps to push people to buy the DLC for the new game). Looks like Eleum Loyce is shown at 50 seconds, Burnt Ivory Crown at 1 minute. Not sure i see anything to do with the Sunken Crown though. I may be wrong about all that of course. If I'm right then the lore should be good since it will build on what we already know. Settings should be varied, although theres a chance it could be 'samey'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Count again, and account for all multiple-enemy bosses, whether they're multiple copies of the boss or not. 13/32 Still not even half. And I didn't count the Sinner because it only becomes a gank at NG+, but on NG she is on her own.

Hideteka Miyazaki (Director of Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne) is directing this one. Why does everyone keep saying Giant Lord, looks like some kind dude in a hood with his face blackened do to it for me. tbh There is a bit of resemblance, but not a whole lot. http://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Giant+Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyranness Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Dark Souls 1 had it's own share of magnets. And it's own share of multiple enemy bosses. Hell if you had any trouble with Dark Souls 2 multiple enemy bosses you're honestly just really bad cus only Darklurker was in any way a problem. it's Dark Souls 3 directed by Miyazaki but he's clearly acknowledging 2 happened and will continue off that. As someone whose liked Dark Souls 2's combat WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more then 1 (PVP I played alot of, cus it existed beyond backstab phishing and Giant Dad). But the lore of 1 was Miyazaki's touch missing, this one should be great, That being said, I hope the "B-Team" have their hands on it too cus I don't want it to be a clunky variety unfriendly game like Bloodborne is where anything beyond Bloodtinge Chikage, or Vit chugging is good. I beat that game in 3 days and got all but 3 chieve's. I hope Dark Souls 3 atleast has the NG+ changes so I can play it more then once. And it's variety, powerstancing, magic variety. But the level design and overall lore adhesion of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Throne Watcher and Throne Guardian to be a problem, because they just never let up (and not in a good way). Their problem was that they always grouped together and made you just keep moving back instead of developing an actual tactic against them.

Azryte Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Why does everyone keep saying Giant Lord, looks like some kind dude in a hood with his face blackened do to it for me. The camera to me makes it seem the figure is much larger then a human, along with the crown and no face make it seem like the giant lord. Though who really knows at this point. Also in regards to the castle (Assuming everyone is referring to the one at about half a minute in) am I the only one seeing Anor Londo's grand cathedral? With the struts connecting to other spires and the similar clouds it just gives me the same feel, if so waiting for older dragonslayer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw hell, if it's in Lordran, then I don't even know where the game will even take place anymore. It's a sequel of the first game, but a prequel of the second...A MIDQUEL?
