No estus?

Holy shit I forgot about the retarded health system in that game lmfao

Pro tip that will save you one million pains in your ass: as soon as you get an item called ring of life protection wear that shit 24/7 and repair it as soon as you break it.

I found the flask so i think we're okay so far👍

I never had anything break in ds3 so idk how to do that stuff

I also found an estus shard but the blacksmith aint got a key so we're fucked rn
shit actually breaks in dark souls 2 but pretty rarely. You literally just pay to have it fixed.

But sadly I just googled where to get that ring and apparently they've removed all the early locations it spawns in SotFS

Dark souls 2 has a retarded mechanic where dying lowers your max health and the ring makes your death not count.
There's always the ring of binding that means hollowing only reduces you to 75% of your hp instead of 50%

Why are you playing backwards

Accessibility and convenience. DS3 is the most user-friendly game I imagine so it's good for newbies like me to get a grip of the game's mechanics.

DS2 is the only other Souls game on the PS4, and it's less of a leap backwards than going from DS3 to Demon's Souls or Dark Souls 1.

Besides it's not like these games have much of a story that I'll miss by playing them out of order.

There was like no story at all in ds3 which didnt ruin anything

Ds2 is pretty disconnected frm ds1

And ds1 is the first in the series

Its almost like they were meant to be played backwards

Ds3 actually has a lot of story, but it's all fragmented and takes heavily from previous games.

the story isn't overtly given to you--you just pick up on bits and pieces of lore sequestered in loading screens, item descriptions, and character dialogue, after which the story slowly begins to come together

it probably doesn't hurt to play the games out of sequential order, but there is story if you actively seek it out

basically, they knew that a lot of people liked video games, but not everybody cares to have some boring story shoved down their throat as they're trying to play--so in order not to alienate those players, they made it so if you wanted to know the game's story, you had to go out of your way to learn about it

I understand there is a story if you seek it out but thats not really what im talking about

Halo 3 has a good story if you seek out the terminals. I still wouldnt say it has a good story.

Dunno if you know this little tidbit, but the reason its story is so vague and fragmented is because Miyazaki was really into old western stories and legends but the language barrier led to him basically trying to piece it together himself, which later inspired him while making DS.

Based on how much ive seen of dark souls 1 and demons souls and how much ive played ds3

You may end up hating it as some people do, it's got some quirks and questionable design choices that drag it down.

But it has the best weapons, armor and DLC I think, for the most part. Hell, if not for a certain few DS1 and 3 bosses I'd say DS2 has the best bosses too (in the DLC, anyway)

I just remembered the massive cancer revolving about invasions in this game
Quote
They can invade you even if you are hollow, and even after you've killed an enemy boss. You're not alowed to summon for co=op as a Way of Blue, and there are NPC invaders absolutely everywhere, all with ungoldy health pools.

Also if the opponet shows up with a weeb stick and you are not a sorcerer build, than dont even bother trying. Just jump off the cliff or run to the boss door. Those things are like the Glitched M26 dart in Battlefeild 3

Considering you aren't allowed to dislike it without being crucified by absolutely everyone, yes I do like it.
