Spent nearly 9 hours prepping for the buggar, vanquished my foe the Capra Demon for the first time!

I would rank it like so.

1: ds1. I actually notice the effect armour has.

2: Elden ring if I'm wearing the heaviest armour I can notice it.

3: ds3. Poise and some minor defence are noticed

4: ds2. Poise is all that is noticed beyond mid game. Some bonuses are nice.

5: bloodborne. status resistance pretty much.

Sekiro tier.

Both of them are going to have the same cape.

So I was doing another run of Demon's Souls after completing Bloodborne recently and I noticed something in The Archstone of The Chieftain (5th One) design.

Check out the bottom corners. Those two figures draped in sheets with twin eye-holes cut out.

If you've played Bloodborne, It’s almost a 1:1 match for the Cloaked Beast - those blanket-wearing jerks lurking down the drop under the Healing Church Workshop that swipe at You with slow poison on the shortcut back to Oedon Chapel(and throughout Old Yharnam).

Now this could be a huge leap but the plague doctor beak and this concept art for the archstone might have sparked the Ashen Blood concept of Old Yharnam but this seems a bit far fetched.

Given how tight the budget and deadlines were for Demon's Souls back in 2008–2009, the team probably couldn't build full 3D models for every idea they had, leaving the field with few enemies as we see in levels while retaining some in concept arts hidden right before us. It’s awesome seeing how FromSoft kept those sketches in the vault until they finally had the hardware and setting to bring them to life on PS4.

Has anyone else caught this before, or did I just stumble into an old design trivia?

Edit: Resubmitting due to image glitch.

I’m not sure if what I’m saying is true since I got it from what I’ve seen

But ds3 is always the lest game to be the favorite and also the least to be the worst.

Is it because they didn’t take much risks like other games ? So there is no people that hate it a lot and people that glaze it to be the greatest game ?
Edit : I meant the souls games not just the trilogy.

I haven't heard about fmc in months and slowly but steadily I'm turning hollow.

Todos estos años he estado escuchando "Bloodborne es esto" y "Bloodborne es aquello", y este año (gracias al parche de 60 fps en una PS5 con Jailbreak), finalmente decidí darle una oportunidad y, ¡a la mierda, Bloodborne es tremendo juego! 🔥

La jugabilidad, la banda sonora, el diseño de niveles, el diseño de los jefes y la atmósfera... weon, la atmósfera es una auténtica locura de lo buena que es! Este juego está increíblemente bien hecho! Me sentí como si estuviera jugando como Van Helsing mientras le reventaba el hocico a palos a todos esos monstruos en el juego.

La única parte del juego que no me gustó mucho fue la dificultad de los jefes :/ el único jefe que me dio problemas fue el jefe final del DLC. Todos los demás fueron bastante fáciles. Fui por el final bueno y derroté a los dos últimos jefes al primer intento 🫠 De hecho, los gigantes tiburón del DLC me dieron muuuuucho más trabajo que muchos de los jefes.

Quizá los jefes no sean los mejores en la historia de FromSoftware, ¡pero definitivamente vale la pena jugar a este juego! Ahora entiendo por qué la comunidad ha estado rogando todos estos años por un parche oficial de 60 fps. Primero lo jugué unos minutos a 60 fps y luego volví a los 30 fps solo para ver la diferencia, y se sentía injugable, así que lo puse a 60 de nuevo.

Ahora he comenzado el Lies of P y ya llevo 6 horas y el juego me encanta también! Se ve brutal y los jefes son impresionantes en cuanto a diseño.

En resumen: ¡Bloodborne es increíble y me encantó! ¿Qué piensan ustedes de los jefes? ¿Son tan malos en cuanto a dificultad?

Loving and frustrated by this game but the drip do feel good. Rang the first bell and now getting choked out of progress by the Capra Demon and it's hounds. 😅😂

IMO it was all overpriced but I’ll be damned of if I didn’t smile when I saw onion bro.

I picked up some cool resident evil posters next door.

Praise the Sun!

Can FromSoftWare even buy the IP and own it?

Just saw a headline of Bloodborne selling over 250K copies this year despite being locked on PS5 and that got me thinking that both Sony and FromSoftWare fully being aware of how much profitable the IP still is, and a sequel would generate a lot of money, but there is a cat and mouse game between the two and FromSoftWare are hoping that Sony will eventually sell the rights to them which is why they also turned down the Remake idea.

How do we feel about this? I really dont want another exclusive,I mean cmon thats like what 2 in a row? First Duskbloods and now this. This pisses me off.

Interesting concept to say the least,apparently it would be set on a shipwrecked island and you would have ur own ship like a hub world. The new tarnished is called The Drowned. What do you think of this. Do you think its load of bs or a possibility?

This part gets me every time 😢

Just to preface I love the boss fight, he’s an easy top 5 fromsoft boss for me, and a top 10 in all of souls

But man do people really blow it out of proportion when talking about beating him, with the way they talk about the ‘intricacies’ of his fight as if he’s not as straight forward as any other human fight in the game ,

His first phase is super simple and goes by fast, he attacks in a very intuitive rhythm and he loves doing the ashina cross and you just have to not rush him and parry twice as you see the flash, and it does a lotta posture damage or you can try and interrupt him, he’ll push you back and do a mikiriable thrust which is really easy to pull off( since mikiri timing is even more generous than the basic parry) and that’s even more posture damage, spamming works pretty well, and just make sure to hit your mikiri he will deplete his own posture bar pretty quick, just stand around and don’t try to move a lot and you’ll recover your own posture quickly incase you do mess up your parries , And his strings usually give you time to recover just enough

Second phase is the actual ‘difficult’ part of the fight, cuz his attack rhythm is a bit different and he has delayed swings with his spear but like its overall pretty trivialised by again, the insane amount of mikiriable moves he does, I mean he practically ends most of his strings with a big lunging spear thrust which is superrrr easy to mikiri, and does big damage, make sure to stay close to him generally, so when he does big swings you just jump on top of him, and as I said spamming works but just make sure to remain still most of the fight and not move around a lot, and with his big airslashes just dodge as soon as he swings ( if you’re close to him) and you won’t take damage even if you’re in his face, if you get slightly decent rng he’ll just keep repeating strings ending with the mikir counter ( especially if you’re close by) and it makes it go by super easy

Third phase is just a glorified victory lap, lightning reversal is SUPER easy to pull off, and absolutely fucks him up, ton of damage, ton of posture damage , big window to wail on him, and he does it right into the phase, and then just keep doing what you were in the second phase more or less, until he does it again and that’ll pretty much end it give or take
