Define 'outside of that'.

I already did in the Sekiro thread

Lol those satan trees in Farron Keep, holy crap. I finally learned to kill them consistently, but like damn. Way more annoying than the jumping goat men. That whole area is just major suckage. Getting stuck in the swamp and walking at crawl speed while everything around you is deadly af.

Swamp seems to suck in Soulsborne game I guess. If you don't mind the hassle, you can kill all of the satan trees with bows from unreachable places btw.

I still cannot bring myself to finish DSIII while I had so much fun with Sekiro I played through it 5 times already, And Sekiro doesn't even have multiple builds so it's supposed to be "less replayable".

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

I dunno how to explain it. When I got into DS1, I felt like a bad-ass with my parry humanoids, roll against bosses build. Had light armor, a buckler, and ricard's rapier, looked cool, felt really skillful with proper parry timing.

When I got into DS2, I felt like a half-bad-ass. Parrying was much more iffy with the parry delay, but with enough practice, it was still possible to predict enemies regularly, because they were more or less consistenent (some were fast, some slow, some medium, but always so). Sometimes I would predict wrong, and eat crow, but overall, still felt somewhat skillfull, if not as skillful as DS1.

In DS3, I am doing ok as far as progress, but I feel like a cheating punk. I do not really have skills per se, I just change up equipment to deal with different enemies, or just roll around like a retard, and hit them with superhard weapons (e.g. Great Mace +3).

The sense of satisfaction at getting better at game/build is just not there the same way.

I had friends tell me that 3 was their favorite. I no longer have friends.

The problem with DS3 was forcing the fast and aggressive Bloodborne combat upon it without realizing it doesn't really play well enough without mechanics like attack-to-heal and dodge/backstep as the backbone. Considering poise was turned into an useless number, blocking got nerfed, armor was a matter of cosmetics (sans the odd resistance value here and there), enemies had perfect tracking and infinite stamina to combo you to death, the only feasible mean of defense left was rolling around.

Maybe an overhauled weapon arts system could have closed the gap, as in certain arts would allow you to side/backstep, improve poise and blocking capabilities, extend the parry window, increase your magic pool and empower regular spells, heal when attacking (BB-style) and so on. The more you specialized in an art, the better it would get. Would give the game replay value and build variety instead of "roll to win".

I like DS3 mostly for its aesthetics (yes, most of it piggybacked from BB) but it is such a lazy game. From just cut down the BB engine, added shields and knight armors, sprinkled a bunch of callbacks throughout the game so you could recognize it as Dark Souls and called it a day. Contractual obligations and all that...

Holy shit, ran into Abyss Watchers boss fight, what a tardfest. First, a 1v2 Artorias-type fight from DS1, except theres 2 of them attacking you at the same time, sometimes 3. Sometimes they aggro on each other, but mostly just kill me, with their 3 mile long insta dashes and endless attack combos.

And if by a miracle I get through them, the next phase, the fire-tard. I don't know what his bullshit is, but seems like he insta-hurts me with fire whenever i get close, no chance to roll even. It's like his fire hits me before his animation even starts.

Switched to buckler for this retard, managed to parry him a few times, but I need to get 3 in a row to kill him. So far, 2 parries in a row only.

It's like they really went braindead.

You must really suck if you're annoyed by the abyss watchers or dislike them.

 

[Wunderbar]

proky couldn't even kill pinwheel without dying a few times

 

[Deflowerer]

Can't wait for the Nameless King salt.

Exactely, why would anyone dislike a incredebly lazy reshash of a better boss figth, that also plays out like most of the other boss figths in that game?
It makes no sense at all.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

sullynathan see unlike you, im secure enough in myself that I can admit struggling with a tough boss fight. But people like you always play their cliche "git gud, I beat this with my eyes closed, both hands tied behind my back while orally pleasuring my sister..." shtick that's amusing. I bet if we saw your actual gamelay footage, you probably died 400 times to Abyss Watchers, while speed-dialing suicide hotline.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Excuse me, but if you can't beat Nameless King with your erect dick alone, then you DO need to git gud and inject some T for good measure you fucking faggot.

Just beat the abyss watchers after five tries. These guys are a huge clusterfuck. I was surprised with their ability to cross the whole damn arena with one attack. I swear, if I actually had poise, I would have killed this guy much easier. He wouldn't have stunned me nor would my attacks be stopped half-way. The abyss watchers were so erratic, and got my blood boiling. It's like FROM attempted to make Artorias 2.0 with far more spectacle but forgot what made Artorias great. These guys are easily damaged but at the same time, they have long combos if you get too close.
It wasn't a bad boss but I was expecting more after watching videos by other people.

Don't worry, all the people who lectured me about how to play Sekiro right eventually admitted to playing the game with mods or skipping the optional bosses, which I beat.

I actually beat every single boss in every soulsborne game barring Dark Souls 3 DLC (I never bought it) and the demon of hatred (didn't care) and have videos and posts to prove it though.

PorkyThePaladin , I'm curious to see what you find of the Dancer. She gives cancer but I've found something genuinely beautiful in her moves and variations.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

the Dancer. She gives cancer

There's a good song in here somewhere

 

[Frank Capicoli]

Can't wait for the Nameless King salt.

Will they make it that far with that much whining already though?

True, TBH. I told them I'd off myself unless they cheered me on.

Well, I dispatched Abyss Twatters and Cursed Morningwood on Friday, just ran into the shitfest that is Carthus Catacombs. And then into a greater shitfest there, called Greater Lord Wombat. What a turd fight, I can't even see his dumbass hands moving cause of camera, one touch by a hand or his stankbreath, instadeath. Wall in the back too, just to make it a little extra miserable. I accidentally hit him in his wrist bracelet, and that took a third of his healthbar, but havent been able to hit him there again, with the fucking aiming and camera, and his jimmy legs.

 

[Wunderbar]

Wolnir is your typical popamole boss with glowing weakspots, it requires no skills whatsoever.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

Took out Greater Lord Wombat. From there, went down into some bullshit underground lake, where some fucking electric worm raped me while i was being bombarded by some other cunts, so I hightailed it out of there and went to Irithyl instead. Currently fighting some oversized rat on the bridge.
