Yes I did faggot. Cope

I beat it with bows
did I really beat it?

Magic not even the easiest way to play. Stacking poise and smashing R1 like a retarded nigger my be more brain-dead. This game is a broken piece of shit and easy. No wonder it was outclassed by later entries.

Might as well just use cheat engine.

nope. congrats you cheesed the game

I beat it with fat roll build and shield, did I really beat it?

I dont get how people play magic in these games. Shit's so boring.

I only used historically accurate weapons and armor on my first playthrough.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
You didn't grow.
You didn't improve.
You took a shortcut and gained nothing.
You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained.
It's sad you don't know the difference.

Yes.

Its not my fault they made magic stupidly broken. If its in the game its fair game.

>historically accurate
>dark souls is historic

If you used dsfix you didn't really beat the game.

while magic does trivialize big chunks of the game, magic is pretty gimped in the toughest parts (DLC)

I bet you used a shield with full plate armor. You disgust me.

>implying it didn't make the experience harder

Yeah, you can probably one shot with some of the Soul spells, but try running it with no Armor and hope you don't get clapped once.

Using the game's mechanics doesn't count for beating it now?

Shitty bait faggot.

If you used a controller instead of your mind you didn’t really beat the game.

If you pressed R1, good job you cheesed the game.

Rolling is the real cheese, reall niggas do it like

I should do a "R2 only" run...

>not beating every souls game as a knight with a kite shield and longsword
grug smash!

Nice. What shield(s) did you use?

if you used a blade or blunt weapon you didn't really beat the game

If you sat at a bonfire you didn't beat the game.

i used pyromancy, bows, heavy armor and ironflesh and i beat everything in 2 tries, even two shot khalamete or whatever that faggot dragon is called, suck my dick

The Artorias shield, and Havel's armor set

>tfw I was retarded and didn't understand you could upgrade weapons so I got by on drops alone

You made OP seethe, so you beat it in my book. Good job.

If you didn't eat ALL of the spicy chicken wings, you didn't really beat it.

If you didn't play on console release, you didn't really beat the game.

And that's only a slight exaggeration. Patch 1.05 made things easier with some enemy placements, and vendors selling more stuff.

>he didn't beat the game without shields or summons and with a blindfold on
you didn't actually beat the game

If you didn't have a loli in high heels stepping on your balls the whole time you didn't really beat the game.

>dude this game has so many builds!! the replayability is insane!
>uhh dont use 90% of them or you're cheesing...

My first playthrough right now. Strength and tank build desu

I joined the Company of Champions without thinking and ran to No Man's Wharf by wandering, on my first playthrough

Did I fuck up, and if so how bad?

Stupid elitist shit like this ruined Souls. If you're having fun with the a build you beat the game with it doesn't fucking matter

>complaining about magic
>not about summons

No, you can just leave the covenant if you want

True, dump all into str and put on a high poise armor and make love to your R1 button, much more fair.

>t. Drake sword user
imagine gatekeeping a souls game (read: casual garbage) of all things lmao

You can't fuck up in Ds2, it's babies first souls

Huh? Oh, yeah of course I played through Dark Souls with nothing but the Black Knight Sword+5. How'd you guess?

Attached: selfie_0001.png (640x591, 536K)

Guess I'm good then.
Demon's Souls was a different story however. Started with Royalty so that I would get the lowest level, but it mainly made me cheese all enemies that I couldn't figure out how to beat with soul arrow.
Storm King especially was a massive disappointment now that I know how you are supposed to beat him.

Magic can be op but you will probably miss a lot of good spells in your first run

It's just LoZ with death mechanics and dueling.
Why are people still overhyping the difficulty still?

because gamers by and large have yet to figure out basic shit like how hit detection or animations work and lack the ability to plan ahead or strategize in video games as a whole.

But DS1 was my first Dark Souls
No Man's Wharf is a goddamn gankfest goddamn

It doesn't count unless you beat it with your bare hands

It is punishing in a way that many modern games are not (losing souls upon death, sparse respawn points).
The rest is mostly remnants of a successful marketing campaign.

How the fuck do you beat the game without a controller?

I was slapping everyone up except O&S with a +10 zweihander and grass crest shield but now I'm stuck at artorias :( I haven't even fought a lord soul yet I should probably grab one of those first shouldn't I?

...

*facepalm*

Get more poise

Take a break then go back to Artorias, sure. His patterns are easy to recognise, but you need fast reaction times. He's simple with a clear head and some practice.

Shit, I'm retarded. You can just punch the disk.

He means no weapons, mate

Its better in every conceivable way than the sequels. Especially the dogshit that is 2.

That's just Ds2, have fun

I'm not finding gankfests all that fun, especially when all these damn vikings stunlock me to death nigh instantly and these gorilla monsters are giving paltry souls
Also why is Hellkite in Heide's Tower of Flame? Didn't the Chosen Undead kill him?

Having a spear helps a lot with dealing with multiple opponents.
>Also why is Hellkite in Heide's Tower of Flame?
It's a different dragon. It's not even as large as the hellkite dragon.

Why would he necessarily be dead? He’s an optional boss. I never even bothered to fight him actually

I assumed the Chosen Undead killed him out of spite, like I did when I first played through DS1

>Floating big knight outta nowhere
What the fuck

I don't use magic, I just do ultra greatsword builds and sometimes spear builds. I just want to feel like Guts.

you cheesed the game

And I don't care in the slightest, some bosses were still challenging even with ugs.

>Gatekeeping
What a toxic and problematic thing to say

>Cope
Yeah, that's what you do when you realize you've never been good at video games in your life.

you faggots and you buzzwords.

>if you beat it with poise...
ftfy

>Hellkite
That's not Helkite but don't worry, something even more retarded lies just around the corner.

everything in dark souls is broken. fast roll, fat roll, 2 hand, 1 hand, no hand, magic, pyro, miracles, shit doesn't matter. game is easy and you're bad

>tfw this is a pretty fun first boss fight in the game with an absolute banger of a theme that you'll never hear more than 5 seconds of because everyone goes here after forest of the giants and he's a complete pushover by then

Attached: 1536372901547.jpg (341x347, 35K)

>he doesn't know how to mind-link into the game

He's still a pushover if you fight him as your first boss, and his theme is uninspired like the rest of Ds2s tracks

If you mind-linked, you didn't really beat the game.

Executioner's Chariot alone has more soul than any track in DS3

If you leveled up in this game, you didn't really beat it.

Executioner's chariot theme is almost as bad as your opinion
OST RANKING:
BB>>>Ds3>>Des>Ds1>>Ds2>>>>>>Sekiro

>Cannot use controller
>Cannot use mind
What am I supposed to use then?

If you beat Dark Souls without a shield, you didn't really beat it. Shieldess runs are meant for your second playthrough.

If you beat this using magic, you did really beat it, but probably didn't have as much fun as you would have playing a different class.

I beat it without magic and without summons
suck my willy

There are like 20+ OP weapons/builds that require 0 skill.

I used some unholy combination of father mask, gold-hemmed robes, gravelord sword, quelaag's sword, and black iron greatshield.

I beat it with Board and Sword, Magic, and Pyromancy

you didn't really beat the game then

i only used the broken straight sword

Darkwood grain ring + Ultragreatsword light armor build here, did i beat it?

I actually really enjoy sorcerer. Tried out other classes, and wanted to go back to sorcerer the whole time.

Gatekeeping like that is absolute worst part of any community. Elitists should blow their own cocks.

maybe git gud then?

Good job user you figured it out. Most of the dickheads who think like this probably used the same builds they bitch about being cheese.

I beat it with heavy armor and a ultra greatsword
Did I really beat the game?
