​@@freelancegeneralist1664 I really do actually lol. And when the trailer for DS Remastered came out, it appeared that it WAS going to be Dark Souls 1 but with DS3 graphics and animations. WHICH would have been absolutely fucking perfect, but instead we got the exact same Dark Souls game with just very slight upgrades in quality to certain things. Still stuck with the ugly 10+ year old graphics. Shit just needed swapped with DS3 textures and animations lol. Its all the same fucking engine.

I think the biggest problem right now is that they put the first area in the middle throne!

[@Quilldax]

I've barely seen 20 minutes and idk man, the second area of DS2 being the 1st level seems appropriate for a Fromsoft vet that actively seeks out mods of the games.

Which makes sense!

[@ScytheVicar]

Agreed, makes no sense and is horrid game design. They will probably fix this but IDk

[@btchiaintkidding7837]

​​@@Quilldax thats just your ego talking. any area with enemies that need 10+ hits to take down being the first area while couple areas exist where you can 2sh0t/1sh0t enemies with starting gear is not "Appropriate". i dont mind that it is accessible and dont really think the modders made a huge mistake by putting the place in the middle or making it accessible, but your notion of littering first area with enemies taking dozen hits with non-depraved starting gear being OK/appropriate is just pure egotistical elitist BS. these games have more to them than just difficulty, and mods also have more value than just forcing you to engage in artifical difficulty

Tell me about it. Chatedral of deep that two knight was though as nail

[@themoops4006]

the mod devs need to tone down the enemy scaling a bit and increase souls earned from enemies and bosses. most of this mod felt closer to a low soul/weapon-level challenge run, you shouldn't be hitting the first bosses in the game for 40 damage a swing with a +2/3 weapon. enemies drop basically no souls and too many of them are chunky to the point at which you're better off running past them than wasting your heals.

[@Zeptoid]

The devs actually nailed the scaling for the different areas, Aggy just started playing in highest scaled area. The middle throne has the first area where enemies are much less tanky

[@landoncube769]

Yoop this is amazing. Holy shit the environment

[@ThisChannelIsAbandoned300]

Yea I wouldn't say this game has a better intro than DS3. Yeah, this game's intro is cool, but it really is just an artful slideshow. DS3 on the other hand, has a spectacular intro cutscene, with perfect music, atmosphere, and is just so dramatic and spectacular.

Obediah's contextual reactions need to be 100% consistent, or just not exist - one of the two, no middle ground. It looks like it's a *percentage based chance* whether or not he'll actually do some of them, such as the spinning back-kick, meaning you have to *flip a coin* in a game that is supposed to be about *skill-based input and trial-and-error learning* any time you want to go for damage.

[@justinjakimiak1998]

Seems like they did a nice job of remixing assets from other games into something with it's own identity. I've seen a lot of people criticize the garden of eyes mod for doing the same thing, but I'm guessing that's mostly because they lock it behind a paywall

aggy accidently went to a late game area but i get why bc nothing really says the middle one is the first zone.

[@misfit119]

@@ianstafford8045 This is actually a really important point. In Demons Souls, which this is taking a lot of cues from, the game forces you to do 1-1 and the layout from left to right then makes sense. Even when talking to everyone I didn't get that the middle throne was the first place without trial and error. And knowing how overtuned Dark Souls knockoffs tend to be it's impossible to tell if this is going to be a nut buster of a game or if you went to the wrong area.

[@leecoffill8425]

I really hate the bosses so far - the other one I tried was the "Not Tower Night" and the fight is bullshit. Once he gets that first holy power upgrade, the fight turns into absolute dog shit. You do peanuts for damage against it, and like, the gimmick is you're supposed to hit his feet until they both glow and he falls down, except... him falling down knocks you down, and buy the time you get backup, he's back up as well. And you only do extra damage if you hit his head, but frankly not nearly enough. All the while he's spamming pursuers and lamming his fist in the ground causing blasts that deal most of your health even if you're far away.

[@Jbswe]

That’s like the easiest fight in the game so far ngl so you’re going to be so mad that the other bosses

the bosses are amazing , this boss+ father owl copycat + vaatividya boss + Abyss watcher turned into werewolf+ Abysswatcher and BigWolf duo gankfight(which is literally an objectively 100x improvement of the original DLC's gravetender fight and better than any duo boss in ER) etc are honestly great and easier to read than some ds3 bosses. apart from the last phoenix chimera beast , all bosses are fun and incredibly fair

if you buy it on PC you get access to ALL mods.. and ALL future mods. very much worth the investment :p besides my 500$ victus pc out preforms current ps5's and i still feel terrible about everyone buying consoles over a pc. it is easier to buy and use a console.. not smarter haha. you can create your own games with a pc.. movies even. consoles are in the past and have been for over half a decade now. i do not mean offense i am simply trying to help out the world of gaming by getting rid of console segregation. all console games.. are made on a PC. so why not just be a PC nerd? you dont have to learn specs.. videos got you covered for that.

[@Endermanv-ot2if]

WTF U have Bloodborne and we don't...

[@SpydersByte]

@@RiverRockXIII oh trust me Im already a pc nerd. I have a beast of a rig from Maingear that cost me nearly 8k like 2 years ago lol, had to go with a prebuilt to get a 3080 back when they were sold out basically everywhere. I know the wonders of pcs and I agree :D but I disagree with the notion that consoles should just be phased out. I prefer to play 3rd person action-combat type games like the soulsbornes and like FF7 Remake or FFXVI on console (just like I only play FPS or MMOs on pc), and even though Im on my pc constantly Ive still always owned a current gen Playstation as well because they serve different purposes to me. Its nice to just have a dedicated gaming console with a controller instead of having to use mouse and kb in a game not designed for them or a shitty xbox controller. (although I know nowadays you can actually use ps controllers but it still takes some fiddling and usually wont correct the ingame prompts). And even though I have dual monitors its still nice to be able to use the pc and the console at the same time without being forced to tab back and forth when using the 2nd monitor for the same type of task like having a guide up or a video or something. I know getting it on pc would give access to all mods not just this one but I already play a ridiculous number of pc games so I think Ill just stick to console and watch Aggy for the mod shit I miss :P

[@SpydersByte]

@@RiverRockXIII also, even though my pc could potentially run it at a higher quality ps5 games still look quite good (to the point where I dont notice any major difference between the two) and sometimes its nice to not have to mess with any kind of graphic settings or anything, when you buy a console game its already been optimized to run as best it can on your system and you dont need to worry about specs or anything. And lastly, people usually have larger TVs than monitors, and usually better sound systems as well, so its a bit of a different experience chillin on the couch playing on the TV and sitting in a chair playing on a monitor. sorry for the novels lol

[@RiverRockXIII]

@@SpydersByte no i get it haha, that's why i included some of what you said in what i had said. consoles are easier in every aspect besides creation. its the fast food of gaming essentially lol and if you dont notice the framerate difference it just means you probably dont game too much. pc's even on a tv can provide much much more fps. whats the max for ps5 now like 90? or is it still under that? i havnt played on console in quite a bit so idk... i feel like its 60 and 30 still for games on console.

For example the Elite Darkwraith moves almost 2.5x faster than the player character with instant interrupts and lightspeed combos. Also the main weapons of DS3 haven't been put on the same level as their own original modded weapons.

I played the once and uninstalled after a 9 hour session, the bosses were so overtuned I decided to just uninstall the mod and wait for the full release.
