After finishing Elden Ring, I decided to replay Dark Souls III, as a palate cleanser, and oh damn! I couldn't believe what I saw!

>Bosses didn't deliver constant strings of 20 hit combos
>No 10 second wind ups
>No input reading to prevent healing
>No bullshit AoE spam
>Time between attacks to actually allow you to get some hits in
>Balanced for 1v1 in a way that's challenging but fair, and fun to play

Oh my goodness, gracious!, it was like waking up from a long nightmare! I had forgotten what good boss design actually looks like.

When ds3 came out this is what eryone said about ds1

Faggot. It's all still roll spam. DaS1 was KINO and had good boss design

>>Bosses didn't deliver constant strings of 20 hit combos
Plenty of bosses don't in ER either.

You've been playing it for years faggot, that's the only reason it can't surprise you anymore like ER
Funny, still rolling and striking once, just like people complain about ER

Damn, we never realized how good we had it

fucking cirque de solei is so fucking stupid.

Play it with Convergence if you want to refresh it a bit
Great mod

difference is he doesn't have to wait a full minute between each attack

This is pretty much the fighting style of things like Crucible Knights in ER.

>muh bosses muh bosses muh bosses muh bosses
Stick to DS3, Elden Ring wasn't made for you

>till rolling and striking once, just like people complain about ER
I wish bosses in ER stopped fucking attacking for once.

You posted this exact thread a week ago already

Holy shit lol

Name one.

Stop backpedaling then
Lmao not even close

Crucible Knights have a few bullshit attacks though, the only saving grace is that he's pretty easy to parry

Godskin Apostle, Margit, Godfrey, ...
Plus minibosses like the Crucible knights.
It goes on and on and on.

>stick to a good game
Okay?

This isn't a glitch, btw. The game is reading your button input, and attacking to try and roll catch you. Shit boss design.

boss rush speed running faggotry killed souls games.

Sorry you're bad, have you tried gitting gud?
>Roll towards
>Get on his back
>Hit a couple of times
>Roll away
Shit they've been pumping out the same formula for more than a decade by now, is this your first FROM game?

It's pretty much impossible to replicate.
Dude was somehow in the exact trigger range over and over.

Best Boss. Never forget i Beat her was to early Shirt after the boreal Valley Thing With sl26.
Rest of the Game i Wear only her armor

what

A-user?

Ds3 is dogshit

Holy shit user got the poisoned status

>Crucible Knights have a few bullshit attacks
you suck fuck dick and i beat him using roll only
>only saving grace is that he's pretty easy to parry
you didnt beat the game

>boss does an overhead smash attack that doesn't track you 180°
I had forgotten what that looks like.

There must be a spell to actually fix her, right bros? I-I can fix her...

am i tripping on shrooms or is this literally a ctrl c + ctrl v thread posted every other day
why do the mods do nothing to prevent this faggotry spam
why are niggers so obsessed with elden ring they feel the need to do this

this is such a faggy post bloodborne started these faggy anime bosses and Dark Souls 3 really should have been the nail in the coffin for these gay shonen bosses because it took it too far. Elden Ring is worse in that regard but Dark Souls 3 isn't really much better.

NK attacks less frequently than even Margit.

>just stop running and get hit retard, my god what a fucking retard!

All games prior to ER are pisseasy. Hell, ER is as well, but if you go solo melee only it at least provides a modicum of challenge.

Jump you fucking moron

crazy innit

i was a former I guess you could call it "ds3 detractor", it was my least played FROM game, but likewise, after ER I went back and played it and now I kinda feel like i wasn't being fair to it. there's no double crucible knights or riding around for 10 minutes in liurnia picking up arteria leafs, so even if its nowhere close to sekiro ds1 and bb for me, i have a newfound appreciation.

>Roll towards
>Boss leaps 50 feet back and throws two shot-gun blasts and rips the ground apart before dashing back in

people feel the need to differentiate themselves from others but still feel shame for having actually different tastes in things. So they just go back to the old shit. IT's a proven model and you can feel smug at people who are wrapped up in the new thing. If you were to instead like something like cyberpunk 2077 or some other controversial game, that would actually risk your social capital. So why say that you play that and instead just go back to the old.

lmao margit is twice as fast as this negro

>melons

Margit is unironically harder than Nameless

You already made this thread plus people complained about most of those things when DaS3 was new anyway.

Why couldn't there be an armor this good for female characters in elden ring.

>only viable weapons are boring ass longswords
>no magic is good outside like 1 pyromancy spell
not worth it desu

>I'm bad, the post

>Translation: Magic is balanced and I'm a shitter who can't use it if it's not OP

The fuckin Runebear by itself would destroy most of the bosses from the earlier series just with that insta tackle bullshit.

What does being bad have to do with spells dealing jack shit for damage overall and the game basically being designed around rolling around and spamming R1s with a longsword?
>Translation: I love having no threats when I R1 spam with a longsword, Elden Ring is the worst game ever for making magic actually usable beyond minmaxing!

Really made me realise how delayed the rolling in Elden Ring is. You can't attack then instant roll like that.

Learn to play issue

Ah yes, "learn to play" as in "pick up a longsword and R1 everything to death, why the fuck do you want alternate playstyles?".

I know you're posting this as some new copypasta, but it isn't wrong, it's true.

Ultra greatswords are all viable vs ds3 bosses, even fastest ones like gael, dancer, friede and in ER it feels like you're handicapping yourself by using them and playing them in a normal way unless you power stance and abuse jump attack
