I have never played Dark Souls 1

I have never played Dark Souls 1.
Should I wait for the PS4 Pro remaster in May?
I'm in no rush to play this game.

Unless it turns out to be bad yeah

We just don't know
but it sure is better to play Dark Souls with people who haven't reached the meta level of knowledge about literally everything inside the game yet

Wait for the switch port for definitive experience

Well, yeah, why not?
Pros:
>Better graphics
>Online improvements
>More active online community than original DaS1 which is practically dead at this point
Cons:
>It's slightly more expensive

give it a go on pc with dsfix.

>should I delay gratification?
>I'm in no hurry

Yes?

Since IGN says the Remaster is made internally in FROMSOFT, I just want them to fix Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos.

They better not fuck with the engine at all, the fight mechanics were really enjoyable and the reason why pvp is still alive to this day

Exactly. PvP in the other games are hot garbage.

If they don't fix shit like backstabs then you can just play DS1 with dsfix and the connection tool.

PvP in DS1 is easily the worst. If you disagree then you are ignoring the facts.
Or are you some kind of meele fags that think abusing glitchy mechanics is some high level of play?

The remaster is being developed by QLOC, IGN is retarded.

Yes wait for the remaster, online for the original is practically dead

I hope you're joking, surely you remember the backstab-fest that was DaS pvp?

Get the PC version.

Yeah man I love 2hit stunlocks on every weapon, no poise whatsoever making armor useless, and completely unpunishable rollspam

All they need to do is tighten the backstab hitbox a bit, lower the effect of Endurance, slow down katana swing recovery, and nerf Havel's Ring/RoFaP/heavy armor poise a bit, and it's a pretty perfect game

Get the Switch version.

>get the russian/chink hacker version

No thanks

lol

I'm conflicted on whether to buy the switch version because portable dark souls sounds really cool or the PS4 version because I want to experience active DaS multiplayer again and I don't know how active the Switch will be.

I'll probably pirate it on the pro

buy it when its like $10. why the fuck should we pay $60 for the same game?

Yes, all they need to do is fix the biggest problem in PvP, balance the most important stat, adjust weapon attack speeds and rebalance some armor and rings.

Just a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit of fixing.

no way it's $60. it's only a remaster

Reminder that everyone will be playing online on ps4, and not pc. So if you want PVP and a large community get it for console. This is coming from a pcfag

Switch owners aren't interested in 3rd party adult-oriented games. Just look at Bayo 2 flop. Better use your switch for mario and zelda and stick to PS4 for everything else

Now write all the fixes DaS2/3/BB would need to be a good pvp game. You'd take up the post limit describing them.

>PvP in DS1 is easily the worst. If you disagree then you are ignoring the facts.
>Or are you some kind of meele fags that think abusing glitchy mechanics is some high level of play?

The exploits in the mechanics of the game make it balanced, more so than any other game in the series.

Exploits have often become core mechanics of a game, see Devil May Cry 1 with chain combos in midair.

You can't say ignore facts but then try and invalidate than balance by saying 'muh glitches'. If it works it works. If anything it rewards player who spend time understand how the game works instead of stacking six gorgillion buffs.

when was the last time ign was right about anything?

What's one "glitch" that isn't a balanced mechanic?

Pivot canceling magic is fair.
Toggle escaping stunlock is fair.
BS cancel/escape is fair.
What do you have a problem with>

>Online improvements
>No twinking
>No fun builds
>You can only invade if host as 6 phantoms with him

cant wait,

DSII is the one that needs remade though.

>playing souls games for PvP

>DS2
Replace Soul Memory with DS3s System.
Done.

WHERE'S MY DEMON'S SOULS REMASTER FROM

weapon memory is fucking awful, no
unless it didn't count weapons in your box, then okay

Play the original on Steam with DSFix

DaS3's system is awful for a whole host of different reasons, though. Not defending SM, just pointing out that only DaS got online matchmaking "right" (that is to say, less wrong than its successors).

I cannot twink so I must cry.

Pirate or buy the PC version and play that one whenever you want, graphics will look the same and you'll save yourself the money

They're adding the password system and boosting the max no. of phantoms, I don't see how this prevents twinking or fun builds...

lol, there is no platform that Bayonetta will not flop on. Sexy magical librarian with weird proportions doesn't exactly scream mass appeal.

Bayo 2 was a success though. They're even making a sequel. Are you one of those retards who doesn't understand how costs and returns work and think that if a game doesn't sell GTAV numbers it was a failure?

>>More active online community than original DaS1 which is practically dead at this point
Still play and get a steady stream of invasions and summons. You pretty much have to install the connectivity mod for it though

Yeah but only in the "common" pvp areas. You can't just invade anywhere, like WoG-ing people in Catacombs/Tomb of the Giants.

Yes, unintended mechanics that are vague and require a lot of practice to get right regulary sure are a great way to balance a game.
Retards like you are worse than meleefags.

>If it works it works
It only works if everyone is doing it. That's the same logic as: "If everyone cheats, noone does."

>WoG
Another thing they need to rebalance in DS1, was ruined in DS3 and was perfect in DS2.

it's kind of useless once you figure out you can roll through it

>that are vague

Only vague for people who don't care to learn. Tons of videos online if you want to get better.

>require a lot of practice to get right regulary

Yeah, so? The skill gap is high, who gives a shit.

>Retards like you are worse than meleefags.

Not an argument.

>It only works if everyone is doing it. That's the same logic as: "If everyone cheats, noone does."

Except cheating gives an advantage outside the games mechanics. Everybody can do said exploits within the game's mechanics even if unintentional.

All of it can be countered unless you're just bad and don't care to learn. In which case, boo hoo.

Now add TWoP.

You can already play DS1 on PC with ultra textures and at 60fps.

locking people out from playing with others because they upgraded their weapons is absurd, at least let us put away our upgraded stuff

this isn't an argument

disagree, it was perfect in das1
das2 was way too fucking strong and could oneshot people

>taking advantage of shitty gookcode is """skill"""

Bayo 2 sold less on Switch than Wii Fucking U. That's a flop by any metric

>>taking advantage of shitty gookcode is """skill"""

It is skill. Do you want to tell me Doniguri's gameplay in DMC 3 using exploits doesn't take skill to learn?

I mean I know you're shitposting at this point, but come on user.

Just lemme do the moveset swap glitch and now my zweihander uses the katana moveset.

Balanced, right?

I know I'm so shit, I can't do a double lagstep into a 1/2 lagstab WoG shield break backstab riposte burrito ravioli tortilla linguine shamwow tech, please teach me how to be an FGC reject

>das2 was way too fucking strong and could oneshot people

One major issue with Da2 PvP was the lack of diminishing returns on stats. In Dark Souls 1 stats had way more diminishing returns on softcap resulting in less of a disparity between low level and high level players.

In Dark Souls 2 that isn't the case when you can go up to 5k health easily and then tank havel armor and become a jack of all trades that win everything along with stacking tons of buffs.

Counting cards is a skill too. Will you be thrown out the casino? Yes. Should you be banned from the game? Yes.

Just stay at meta level ffs.

>Just lemme do the moveset swap glitch and now my zweihander uses the katana moveset.

>Balanced, right?

I'll admit, moveset swapping is unbalanced but still easy to punish.

>I know I'm so shit, I can't do a double lagstep into a 1/2 lagstab WoG shield break backstab riposte burrito ravioli tortilla linguine shamwow tech, please teach me how to be an FGC reject

(You)

>Counting cards is a skill too. Will you be thrown out the casino? Yes. Should you be banned from the game? Yes.

Not a very accurate analogy. You get banned from casino's because they loose money despite blackjack supposed to be a game of chance and can skew the cards in your favor.

Really just a case of 'baaaaawww don't want to lose!'.

just listen to the ost instead

>Just stay at meta level ffs.

Even at meta soul level you will still invade these people. Just like sl125 would invade sl700 in Dark Souls 1 except higher stats didn't mean as much.

Yeah the original lags and runs at 30 fps

i think the remastered version is going to have a better 2nd half of a game, after ornstein and smough. making it the true 10/10 it always deserved

It's going to be the same game.

Stop confronting me with reality.

Someone can't accept DS1 PvP isn't great. You're not gonna change your opinion and neither am I.

Have fun getting ravioli backstabbed and missing the right timing for the escape R1.

>le bad second half meme
Stop

it's not a meme if it's true

>Someone can't accept DS1 PvP isn't great. You're not gonna change your opinion and neither am I.

This isn't an argument though. If you want to try and refute what I'm saying I'm all for it.

Only really unbalanced thing with exploits is tumblebuffing which isn't viable in PvP for the most part since you can run away or just punish someone trying to do it.

>Have fun getting ravioli backstabbed and missing the right timing for the escape R1.
>getting backstabbed

lmao. Only bad players get backstabbed.

it's not true. the game was great all the way through.

>there are still people in 2018 that don't understand how DS3 poise works

You'll know in May, we don"t know much about it

Wow, this is the definition of seething.
I was ending the arguement because I see we both talk against a wall and you pretend like your opinion is the holy grail.
Your ego has to be massive.

Wait for remaster, we'll get DaS 3 engine, PvP and matchmaking, plus very likely fixes and changes like in SotFS, maybe even fixing enemy placements in Izalith

>Better graphics
adorable

He's a DS1 babby, of course his ego is gonna be inflated and you insulted Miyazaki's Masterpiece™, he won't let you live now

>Wow, this is the definition of seething.

Not really, this is me stating the facts of this argument.

>I was ending the arguement because I see we both talk against a wall and you pretend like your opinion is the holy grail.

You've yet to refute most of what I said. Yes, you made some valid points and I even admitted than certain exploits are broken like moveset swapping and especially tumblebuffing but even they can be countered easily just like people who use curved swords with Darkmoon Blade.

Most of your arguments seem to be shitposting anyway, though it's hard to tell with so many replies.

>Your ego has to be massive.

Not really, you seem upset though.

Not true though, the second half is fine

oh darn it.
