the halberd was really strong in pvp if you had the right amount of lag to land kick -> 2h r1

It was nicer in des, tbh

lol

The pvp was swole

The pvp is so fucked in ds

Nah, just the buffs are retarded

Balance didn't exist

all the games have shit that's broken in pvp but you can just play without it

or with it, some of the broken stuff balances eachother

yeah but you lose the messages

Real weapons are from Damascus steel.

in dark souls 1 tumblebuffing balanced out divine blessings and mushrooms a bit

But greatswords and heavy weapons actually comboed in ways that didn't work until dark souls 3. Everything between des and ds3 had really chunky weapon swings

Ds3 is trash though

cause you could just use it to get one shot crits

easily

What's wrong with ds3?

also db's and shrooms helped to balance twod because you could heal your way through it

All the movesets are generalized to shit, one. The creative weapon designs all got nerfed to hell, and roll attacks and roll catches, don't work anymore.

The game itself is a dry berserk simulator, with unmemorable bosses

the most broken thing in das1 (duels) without dbs and shrooms i think was dagger on great club permaswap

well it depends what weapons you use

And the only nice looking big sword is so slow, it's impossible to do anything but bait with

But yeah weapon design does seem a bit weak

Beyond weak

I haven't gotten that far into it I will be honest

I swear there's like five holy swords which stab, and have trash magic scaling

i didn't really fuck with the games much after das1

i played 2 for a bit but the game felt awful

it felt like the characters were moving through molasses

I got to iron king or whatever and quit 2

Ds2 tried hard at least. You could do some really strange shit. But, the greatswords weren't as fun

There's this amazing weapon in two, that doesn't have any comparison

The puzzlingly stoned sword

Without upgrade, it has S in dex, and was the most versatile weapon in the entire game. Whip, straightsword, and rapier. All in one

And no one used it, because spics didn't talk about it being "meta"

So even at 45 million souls, you'd be finding people who'd never seen it

Oh, just one thing, if you ever see that large round leather shield, in a souls game again

Don't use it
