There are backstabs. You just have to charge R2 to do them. It works best for sneaking up on enemies but you can do it mid combat too with slower enemies (The Kidnappers were easy to get with it after some of their attacks or their charge up).

Cool. Thanks for answering.
You played the whole game without knowing there's a backstab? heh
Ah yes, I only do those to the pigs though.
No I did a backstab when I could. It's just been a few months of not playing the game
I did them whenever the opportunity presented itself. The Kidnappers, like I said, are really easy to take out even early on in the game by taking advantage of this.

Not really, you had to charge the R2 attack on the enemy's back, then the enemy would be staggered and you could go for a visceral attack.
I guess you could say you simply are staggering it, but iirc it is a backstab.

It's okay. I also forgot about those charged attacks from behind. I never used those past the pigs. All about side stepping and countering.

I guess that's good to hear b/c it means Bloodborne PvP isn't Backstab SoulsNo I did a backstab when I could. It's just been a few months of not playing the game

bruh. So good.
Better yet, side stepping, countering and backstabbing!
So satisfying to pull off a backstab mid combat in Bloodborne because it's not an easy thing to do.I can't imagine it being possible to pull off a backstab in PvP Bloodborne with an even half competent player. Takes too long.
I mean, who doesn't like to shove their fist up a giant pig's ass?

Poor Animation, Bad Hitboxes, Painfully slow combat. Basically the complete opposite of Bloodborne, which thankfully DSIII is taking notes from.
Awww yea, huge improvements inbound.
Exactly ! Dark Souls 3 needs more Pig Enemas.
Hnnnnng. I love how the character if facing the opposite direction at the beginning of his attack to where he lands the blow in the end.

Hope the areas have more variety, it's all dull & colorless from the trailers.
Rolling looks exaggerated, reminds me of Bloodborne. I'd rather not have bloodborne 2 reskin.

This are just too good. Keep posting and I'll keep quoting.
Classic DS enemy design. SO GOOD
Movement is looking so much better than Dark Souls II.

yeah that roll is hype
If you play with the contrast, you can make out its body. Arm on the left. Beetle-like torso. Seems Nito-esque.
I'm predicting he's a friendly like Frampt, though.
Speechless...honestly one of the coolest looking videogame related things Ive ever seen
Coolest videogame-related thing since Amygdala clinging to a building in Bloodborne.

Someone said it way back, but I'm wondering if this is a boss or a Frampt-like NPC. Probably a boss.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I say this about all the Souls games (and Bloodborne). Nobody does truly bleak, worn, gothic horror like they do. Which is surprising, to an extent, given the abundance of medieval themed games out there. Souls is one of the only to actually keep armour, outfits, weapons, and so on generally very proportioned and based on real world variations.
I've said it before, but the Souls franchise is as close as I've come to the aesthetic of Diabo and Diablo II.
Yes, please!!! I need my next gen Tower of Latria. Do it Miyazaki.

Easy mode roll is back :/
Love the aesthetic and models, but the gameplay looks like all I didn't enjoyed of DS1 and Bloodborne.
Need to see more gameplay to be sure.
You know what Dark Souls 3 needs?
Gwynevere.
My lore is rusty, but the real Gwynevere was wed off to the god of fire or something, right?
Well we need to find out what happened to her... for... uh... plot reasons.
Yeah.

What do you mean by easy roll mode? I hope you're not referring to invincibility frames. That's how it works in every other game.
looks like Gollum from LOTR
Yay, it's fixed! So good. <3

I was discussing with some guy in this thread and we noted that the roll is pretty much Demon's Souls' roll 2.0. Even the way the body lifts a little bit from the ground. Shove it in my... I mean, give it to me damn it.
Lol indeed.
Here's a vid of me playing Bloodborne drunk fighting a boss. At the end, you can see a glimpse of the new 'parry' system in play.

Since bow is useful now (thanks to lock on), i think i will choose bow + sword this time rather than sword + shield or dual sword.
