Why do I feel like the multiplayer has gotten worse in each game? I remember in Demon's Souls, when me and my friend wanted to play, it was quick and painless. Now it feels like with every game, it's harder and harder to play. More so since the password system only works sometimes.

Me and my friend ended up waiting to try and summon each other, for longer than we acutally played.

 

[Grisby]

So how should I go about upgrading the Dark Sword? Getting tired of the illy thingy.

Even if it doesn't work properly, you still end up with the items, so it's a win-win.

 

[Resident_UA]

So hows the difficulty of this one compared to Bloodborne? I feel like Bloodborne was the perfect difficulty for me. Everything felt fair, and if I died it was my fault. (except for ROM fuck that guy)

I would say it's very comparable. Feels a bit easier to me, but that could be because I know what to expect... Even though I beat 3 bosses so far on the first try those fights were challenging.

 

[E92 M3]

At least all the mimic chests give me a reason to use the Lloyd's talisman items.

I use them all the time in PVP

 

[DrROBschiz]

Wut, its doing great so far to me. Fast, good damage and bleed. And it's weapon art is really useful.

I also have a Claymore and I try to use it because I love it but it doesn't go very well when I use it, especially bosses. Seems like they are suited for fast weapons, atleast for me.

Has anyone had bleed happen with the uchi?

34 Bleed seems to low. Is there an indication when bleed triggers?

 

[KittenMaster]

Huh?

Its one handed moveset and special moves are great

Charge attacks 2 handed hit hard

Its certainly not a bad weapon but its also so easy to get and common that its easy to get bored with it

Fire infused at +2 is serving me pretty well. I'm going for a STR/DEX build, so I'm hoping to find a better weapon soon.

It's great as the early fire infused weapon, but I am finding its moveset really lackluster during more intense situations. It eats a lot of stamina, and at times it is just barely slow enough that an enemy can hit you out of attempts to attack.

That hurts.

I play offline, so putting mimic chests to sleep is all they are good for, for me.

 

[Sinatar]

Has anyone had bleed happen with the uchi?

34 Bleed seems to low. Is there an indication when bleed triggers?

There is a blood splash effect, a loud *crunch* sound effect and you do a significant amount of damage.

I trigger bleed off my Uchi all the time.

yeah it doesnt stagger armored enemies since it doesn next to no poise damage

Take this into again and focus on counters with charge one hand R2 and follow up attacks

 

[MicSte79]

Anyone know of a really good straight sword? I have been using the Sword of Astoria for most of my play through so far but want something that dishes more pain.

All I seem to find are hand axes and broadswords.

I consantly bleed regular enemies with it, no luck leveled.

You just need to be really agresive though. I dunno, after +3 consecutive attacks or so. It seems to depend on the mob too.

I dunno, I always had a katana char in every Souls so I¡m used at it's moveset. It doesnt stun for shit of course, and yeah its a little slower than a longsword but also has better reach. Dunno, katanas always serves me well.

 

[Soulflarz]

As someone with about 5000 hours across the franchise, I'd say it's the hardest with Bloodborne being a close second.

Of course, it's all opinions

Yep, basically. I don't like tomatoes. Tomatoes suck, that isn't exactly objective though

What is? Demon's Souls is a joke compared to Dark I, and Dark III is at least comparable to I.

I think people (like me) who haven't played Bloodborne are finding it a little bit more challenging.

Hmm
I can't say any of them were hard, but I find Dark easier than Demon, but hey, I had no trouble with O&S, and I know plenty of people basically had that ruin their entire playthrough and fill it with suffering lol

The wikis don't have an official name for it yet, just "giant spider", and this hellspawn dropped right on my head when I was quietly exploring this nook, starting gnashing its fucking knife-teeth at me and stamping its feet-hands, and I literally screamed out loud and stood up out of my computer chair.

What the fuck, FromSoft.
Bloodborne spiders were realistic enough to be creepy, but this?
Are you crazy? Are you outta your moind?!

Thank you for this. Made me lol.

I think Dark Souls 3 is the hardest of the Soulsborne games I've played and I've played them all except for Dark Souls 2. There are a number of fights that can be quite difficult especially later in the game.

I should note that until end game or say NG+ that 12k a min is going to be the best source of souls I can think of
(Aka I need to try this)
endgame has enemies who give 60k for wiping them, which means you could go from say 80 to 100 in 40m

Last night I and my friend were playing and I was trying to resummon him into my game after he died. Yet, sometimes the sign would appear in ~30 seconds, other times we would wait over 5 minutes and the sign would never appear. We tried many methods and nearly all of them failed. Eventually, we just gave up and quit for the day.

Yeah, Souls gets progressively easier each one you play by leaps and bounds, especially after you've fought all the main enemy types.

It's like when you learn a fighter and X and Y makes sense-- you aren't randomly dying to doing stupid things a ton- boss weakness is dodging with iframes as he does ___? You've played souls enough you don't really have to think about that dodge.
