No Sekiro or DS2 flaws to be seen, however.

God I fricking love Dark Souls 3
Nameless King is a great boss but the dogshit first phase almost ruins it
Just stay in front of him and he's just like any other roll to win boss in these games.
Its ok shitter you can even bullshit dodge the flamethrower with i frames unlike elden ring ancient dragons
Yes, it is ok because at the end of every single combo of every single boss (if they even have any lol) there used to be openings big enough to combo ugs hits through. Meanwhile Elden Ring has bosses with optional combo extensions, endlag canceling, and SSS combo chains at minimum, and "lol take ur 1 jump r2" being the standard for what openings they give. The balance between how much time you spend on offense and how much time you spend on the back foot is incomparable to other games in the series.
Bosses with jumpable attacks redeem this somewhat because it introduced the idea of not having to wait your turn to attack, but I'd dock points anyway because from did absolutely fricking nothing to suggest that certain attacks can not only be jumped over, but also crouched under with the post jump attack animation. In a game where bosses can 360 no scope magnetize to you through a Torrent sprint, such positioning to avoid an attack is completely unintuitive.
I never got the original complaint, didn't really have a damage problem with the last few bosses.
Maybe people were mostly playing naked.
elden beast is a poorly designed boss and is clearly unfinished (they've had to patch it a few times)
radagon doesn't use anything resembling the incantations he invented
horoah loux was a fricking blast, though. jumping over attacks, full grappler mode in phase 2, good time spent attacking without endlessly playing defense, mwah
Placidussax too, that big fricking arena and no horse and marika checkpoint
One of the only bosses I felt comfortable Comet Azuring on my first playthrough. It's just annoying and it takes far too long to get back.
>souls have bad mechanics
>the worst in the series has none
Not that I even agree with your criticisms, but it's okay for games to have some flaws. You can't expect them to be perfect.
None of that is excusable but atleast the NK is consistent with his moveset & doesnt spaz out for 5 minutes with a 2 second break
armor and poise should've been buffed
>"Durr you just want to facetank everything and spam heavy attacks no skill gitgudgitgudgitguid!!!"
yes, being an unstoppable wall is fun.
I hate having the fun broken shit that you have to go out of your way to use being gutted. It's an rpg not a ranked pvp focused game.
>shut up
Bloodborne only has 3 hunter bosses and they are all very distinct from each other. Never had issues with the hitboxes either.
Sekiro > Bloodborne > Dark Souls 3 > Elden Ring > Dark Souls > Dark Souls 2 > Demon Souls
>2 over des
why?
Wrong
Dark Souls 1 > Sekiro > Dark Souls 2 > Bloodborne > Elden Ring > Demon's Souls > Dark Souls 3
swap ER with BB and we got a kino list
BB>DaS1>ER=Sekiro>DaS3>DaS2
Anyone that has 2 anywhere other than dead last has brain problems.
>Dumbass got shield broken making him take critical damage
>Not wearing a helmet, giving him a defence penalty cos DaS3 was weird like that
>Could be any multiplication of NG+, further increasing the damage
And that's still without actually looking at the dude's build.
Having Sunbro'd for the boss for a long long time I can tell you that this boss had no moves capable of one-shotting you even if you didn't have a huge health pool. What's more he was easy as frick to dodge, one of the easiest end game bosses in fact, and if you were a mage it was a joke.
truth. I fought nameless a fricking ton (not sunbroing, just really bad) and I can tell you I almost never level health in any of these games. I go starting health glass cannon for just about every From game I play. Nameless cannot one shot you unless you're literally not wearing any armor at all. First phase is the real difficult part if you have no health no armor. Second phase is just a fun dodgefest regardless of how much health you have.
Nameless King won't do shit to my healthbar.
It was the first time I equipped a shield past learning to parry in the first areas. It was such a fantastic fight I then did a sword and board run. It trivializes a lot of the game but god is it fun.
You can see all of Nameless King's attack.
It's a boss that you won't get hit by once you master all of his moves. He was hard but fair, if you got hit it was because you didn't know the attack yet, didn't respond properly or got too greedy.
Elden Ring bosses is mostly just random bullshit that 80% of the time has no telegraph and enemies can cancel attacks mid-way and will just input read you.
skill issue
If I'm a memer who really enjoys the stereotypical human-style enemy fights like artorias, Gael and nameless King is DS2 worth playing through? I played through maybe the first two sections on my friends Xbox when it first came out but haven't touched it since. Large monster bosses where I just run around for 20 seconds while they do some incomprehensible attack before I poke them once is not my idea of fun.
Plenty of generic human-sized filler fights in Dark Souls 2, some of them are even pretty good (Fume, Alonne, Looking Glass Knight, Darklurker?, Ivory King).
I think not. There's couple of good bosses in DS2's DLCs, but very few of them are human-sized. Alonne and Fume Knight are great somewhat human-sized fights. Elana wasnt a good fight imo, but somewhat human-sized and no crazy wombocombos.
In non-DLC DS2 there are few player-sized fights, and not a single one comes to mind so the few that exist aren't even memorable. The final areas contain only huge targets with 1-2 shot attacks: you mostly get Giants, Dragons and other huge creatures as your area bosses.
>If I'm a memer
holy cringe
The boss I had most difficulty with on my last run were the fricking crystal sage and the deacons, of all things.
Frick Crystal Sage. I hate that fricking boss.
Deacons is too easy though. What were you running that you had trouble?
GATHER YE ROUND, HERE IS THE TRUE LIST:
Dark Souls = Sekiro > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls 2 > Bloodborne
(Haven't played DeS or ER yet lel)
Is DeSPS3 pretty much identical to DeSPS5 or are they distinct enough that it's worth playing through both?
>DeSPS3
>DeSPS5
Can you explain? what is this?
Demon Souls had a remake on the PS5 anon.
I bought PS3 version recently and was wondering if I should play it after Sekiro or just wait til I have the PS5 version.
no reason not to wait, considering you'd have more functionality (online) and better looks with the new one
hope you only dropped like 20 bucks or so
Okay I get it. My brain wouldn't put the acronym together.
The PS5 Version doesn't add much but I'd say it's worth purchasing. If you want to play Demon Souls again I'd get it.
DeSPS5 is fricking gorgeous
I say this as a poorgay who does not own a PS5
PS5 Demon Souls looks great, but other than that its the same game.
BluepointSouls is literally the exact same game as Demons Souls but made to look like a plasticy unreal engine tech demo rather than a skungy bloomed out dark fantasy. Make of that what you will.
Its okay when a hyped shit Promising be different of dork souls ends being grandtheft dorksouls
Manus doesnt have unescapable attacks you just use another mcguffin item for the spells but i agree its dogshit even with the mcguffin and friede have consistente dodge and stagger unlike cheapenia blade of nigella
But i agree nameless king has a dogshit bolt tracking attack with big damage you cant block it for bullshit reasons and elden ring you can with that being an ash of war
Friede phase 1 and 3 are fantastic fights. Phase 2 kinds sucks ngl. Just get good and don't get hit by her bullshit combo and you'll be fine. It's literally the only good boss (out of 2) from that DLC and it's not meant to be easy.
Why the frick did elden ring not have more bosses as sick as this? Godfey and godrick feel like the only bosses to expand on this formula, the rest are just forgettable or gimmicky bullshit.
Dark Souls 2 IS the flaw. Also Sekiro is not a souls game. No pvp or invasions means it can frick off and join the likes of the other old FromSoft shovelwares.
Hope you get shoveled of no online functions in the future games again for unsuferable pvp gay
>pvpsperg has dogshit opinion
