Game News Dark Souls III Released

[Villagkouras]

Cathedral of Deep is pure Dark Souls experience. After the Road of Sacrifice the Bloodborne references are kept to a minimum. Except maybe the Catacombs that had a Chalice Dungeon vibe.

I don't doubt that the game is good. But it seems an awful lot like the ultimate manifestation of the kind of game that I got into crpg in order to avoid.

It needs a good computer to run?

Needs reflexes to a greater extent than Wizardry 1-3.

I can't really fault anyone (on the codex) for not wanting to get familiar with a controller, but as with TW3, it's probably not a good idea to play without one. The game is okay so far, never was a huge DS buff (beat Dark Souls tho) but it's difficulty is fairly manageable. But comparing this to Gothic is just silliness imho, sure they're both 3rd person action games with a non-contemporary difficulty curve but that's where the similarities end. It's more like Severance: Blade of Darkness or however the f that game was called, or Rune if someone remembers that. I would probably like the DS games a lot more if they had some more shit to do then just dungeon crawling.

What's with tards spreading this myth? Twitcher 3 fucking sucks with a controller. I tried and fell back to KBM after 5 minutes. More precise camera control and faster UI navigation (specially inventory). Fuck trying to loot corpses with a controller makes you want to kill yourself while geralt fidgets in a circle.

It did seem like a game that could suffer from horrible PC controls but idk I guess I didnt try it. I have defaulted to use a controller for console games.

 

[Roqua]

Nice. You post about this console hipster shit but ignore all real crpg news like the fucking plague.

 

[Pirata Alma Negra]

Did they discover that PC users use a mouse now?

Never bought a gamepad, never will. I'm useless with one (tried to play on the office xbox), and the learning curve is just too much for me to go through, even if there was a game that was worth it.

The learning curve of pressing 4 buttons is too much for you?

Seriously?

It does take a while to learn the coordination required for twin-stick control. Jumping straight into a game which is already fairly punishing like Dark Souls without that skill could be super frustrating.

 

[Grotesque]

DS3 is controlled perfect with keyboard and mouse.
Anyone who uses a controller on a PC for this game is a fuckin disgrace

It's the best optimization of the series so far, it's a lot easier to browse the inventory with the help of the mouse vs the controller. It would be great if they release an ultimate edition with all 3 releases optimized for KBouse.

I am playing it on a laptop with Nvidia 710m and it runs quite well as opposed to Wither 3 that is unplayable and struggled a lot to make it run but after the first parts was just unplayable. That's what I meant when I was saying that it's a good engine.

 

[Achiman]

Controls are fine with controller... it's how the game was intended to be played (real talk), what is giving me the shits is the lighting bug. You have to (well I have to and lots of others) set the lighting quality to low or the game crashes, especially near bonfires constantly. The game keeps resetting this back to the default which is high every time the program is closed.
Beat the tree boss last night with some randoms and killed an invader punk bitch with another random. You don't get that in TW3. fun times.

I started with a m+k, and as you said, camera control and UI management is so much easier with them. Unfortunately combat and movement itself was still better with a gamepad, so I had to make a decision. I chose gamepad, after dying a lot from Geralt not moving the way I wanted mid combat.

As for DS3, lol at the supposedly "master race" for not being able to learn how to move their two thumbs together. Maybe you should stick your finger into your ass, they fit right in. Roffles.

That's kinda the case with the sequels, but the first game, although still more of an action game than an RPG, isn't especially twitchy.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

I do have a gamepad, and I couldn't play DS with it.

I use joypad for platformer games and such, but orientation in 3D space using analog stick is a pain. Compared to mouse it feels like controlling a robotic camera using buttons vs looking around with your own eyes. You can even tell gamepad gameplay on recorded FPS videos, people often aim by strafing just to avoid the horrible imprecision that is the analog stick.

 

[mindx2]

Are there seriously people that don't have a gamepad connected to their PC now? I am one grumpy motherfucker, but even I have one now....

I don't.

Mouse is for popamole newfags. Keyboard only ftw.

 

[Excidium II]

Before the mouse there was the joystick.

Just be thankful Codex exists. Without the shoutbox you'd have no social life.
