Meh ds1 is pretty easy in general if you actually upgrade your weapons. Its just the upgrade system is so obtuse that playing blind its really easy to miss how it works
Well in ds 1 it kinda was :D Not as easy as pyromancy but it was :D Compare to for example DS3 when int build are actualy harder to play, as you have to invest stat investment sould in to more than one stat you still need to invest in some form of male (those are usualy agil and agill give less defence than str) you still need stamina, and on top of that you need to scrifice your estus. Oh and you need to upgrade multiple weapons (with exeption of 2 catalist that duble as a weapon but those still are upgraded with Twinkling that is rarer then standard tytanite and have compromised dmg (for pick) or realy high stat need for the spear) oh and dont get me started that you need to sacrifice at least 3 ring slots, head armor slot and off hand for the demage to be viable, wher unga bunga build can get more stats, more def and can chose to get more attack without penalty in most case. Oh and there is a moonlight build I guess but lets be honest it's just a bonk build with int in place str. :D I'm not saing it's hard to play mage in ds3, just say that it's harder than bonk build where you only have 4 stat to concider 5 if you go quality, 1 weapon and masive flexibility. Ps. Love DS1, DS3 and Blood borne, like Elden but hate it at the same time. Not because of the game quality but because it broke what was unique in ds formula (espetialy DS1 [ds2 is not ds, fun game but not DS]) and worst of all introduce specific group of player to our toxic comunity.

Dark Souls 1 midrolls feel slower than the fatrolls in DS3/Elden Ring... that explains a lot about how fast-paced the games evolved to be. Everything aside, Dark Souls 1 still holds a very special place in my heart that no souls game ever will.
rolling at the fastest fast roll (it was split up into like 4 different fast rolls depending on weight) in ds1 is still just the same speed as a ds3/er medium roll. you were slow as hell in these games lol
Because in Dark Souls not every boss was meant to be beat by rolling. A bunch of different playstyles were possible, so having a bad roll wasn't a big issue. That being said, mid roll in DS1 is sufficient for a roll-heavy playstyle because there's only a handful of enemies that even have an attack combo that is longer than two hits.
@@hansnase364its less so that bosses werent designed with rolling being the only way in mind, its moreso that ds1 is really slow in general and the bosses have super simple movesets so rolling isnt necessary to begin with regardless of the boss

You can pretty much stunlock every enemy in elden ring with a colossal sword, i do agree that fighting some bosses like Messmer and Rellana on a str build felt like i was too slow to even get a single hit on them, but it is still busted by the cheer stunlock capacity and poise dmg
That's about as much damage as I did against him using the Capra Demon Machete. But I had to dodge a lot more because I didn't have any armor. I needed to be able to dodge lol
@@neelupetyt6520thats kinda the point tho. Ds1 atleast allowed you to spec as tanky for bosses at the cost of dmg and rolls. Ds3 and elden ring pretty much force you to be a fast roller high dps type. There's a few niche shield tank moments but that's it
I liked Souls better this way. Slower, more methodical, more deliberate, none of that twenty hits in a row fly through the air anime bullshit that Elden Ring has.
I miss these bosses where we really fight against them, and we don't have to dodge 5 or more consecutive srtrikes until the ia decides to gives me a break
Do a full Havel build, I promise it is so fun Only downside is fatrolling but Havel's Greatshield is so op you dont even have to roll lol (you need only 16 endurance to fatroll which bandit class starts with)
I have that hammer in DS3, I have a feeling it'll come in handy in the DLCs. Still got 2 DLC bosses left in DS2 though, 5 of the other 7 were basically as rough as Artorias, I'd say. I fought him and the other 3 on NG+ though, so the comparison is a bit off.
I'm a strength main myself and when i got to playing ds1 last year I was floored by how much fucking damage I was doing with the demon greataxe, same with the DBS in demons souls, the old games let you hit so unnecessarily hard lol

Haven't played any souls games yet except ds1 it is my first souls game and yes it does feels slow compared to the games I usually play
I played Elden Ring and then DS1. Might be a slower game but it's also deliberate
DaS1 and 2 were slow, but they gave me that feeling I was this big, heavy knight having come to f up the place. The anime super move stuff was minimal.
Old souls best souls, the sheer feeling of weight and how much your levels actually mattered. Armour actually reduces damage!
First the Abyss and now Smough Jr.
Artorias can't catch a break, man.
Bruh, the hammer blocks the boss most of the time so you can't even see his attacks.
Doesn't matter.
No seeing, no dodging, only bonk.
Dude must start running out of weapon durability sooner than he starts running out of HP.
didn't chug once...
60 strength still looks like a spindly little stick version of smough, I love how the largeness of the armor only translates sideways
“You mean to tell me there’s another knight like Ornstein and I just gotta travel time to fight him??? EEEEE A DARK HAMMER!”
For perfection it needs Smough's laughs
Unga bunga smash
Omg, it's John Darksoul, the titular protagonist of hit gaming series Dark Souls 🙀
"BUT DARK SOULS NEEDS AN EASY MOD!!!"

It still works though? Stop circlejerking

Primeira luta de dark souls onde o cara realmente lutou de igual pra igual com o boss

I've seen many Dark Souls videos, some how this might be the most ridiculous. The 92 repair powder mixed with 99 humanity. Making Artorias look like a child is hard to do
The boss said "WHO IS THIS POISE GOD!"
Not being able to use anything but lights and rolling attacks make this video scarily accurate.
bro became the boss
"Who isn't a royal Knight now??"
Heavy armor used to do so much. Poise used to mean something. Nowadays, LMSH's Pot does the same as the Armor of Solitude
remember when strength mattered? pepperidge farm remembers.
Armor and poise too...Pepperidge farm remembers.
I wish we could reinforce armor again.
STR builds are still the easiest way to play every souls game and ER my guy
Even in Nioh bigger weapons trivialize most of the game
Strength is beastly in ER, colossals are the only kind of weapon that gives me trouble in PvP
You can pretty much stunlock every enemy in elden ring with a colossal sword, i do agree that fighting some bosses like Messmer and Rellana on a str build felt like i was too slow to even get a single hit on them, but it is still busted by the cheer stunlock capacity and poise dmg

That's about as much damage as I did against him using the Capra Demon Machete. But I had to dodge a lot more because I didn't have any armor. I needed to be able to dodge lol
"sit on em Smough"
That's what elden ring lacks: working armors that actually provides protection and poise

Literally. It felt more realistic which made it all the more better.
More painful
Agreed. I uninstalled Elden Ring and am returning to the good old souls formula and Bloodborne.
Those games will always be there to play. Remember the theme of the games: stagnation leads to rot
It feels like shit, it's like waking through mud the whole game lol.

elden ring could never

Only downside is fatrolling but Havel's Greatshield is so op you dont even have to roll lol

The ultimate bonk
I know the poise system in this game was shit but I still miss it. It may have been wildly unbalanced by it made the most intuitive sense by far
back when armor actually did something... i miss it.
power is everything
Back when dlc bosses had 5k health and still memorable.
Instead of going 30k with the absolutely dumbest delayed attacks.
I mean we have a lot and i mesn a LOT more attack power in elden ring
Along with more stamina, more stamina regen, and more speed in general
Don't forget the 10 hit combos that give you one second to punish/heal then they start all over again
fair
You deal like 1000 damage per hit in Shadow of the Erdtree so bosses having 30k HP is a non-issue
