Alright so in my spare time I started modding Dark Souls with some shitty SweetFX program and by adding just a tiny bit of depth you get this strange noir look. It makes the game unnerving, since you can't see the details of the enemies. Nothing is scarier, I suppose.
Too bad Dark Souls is full of corridors where you can't see shit, so when you are indoors you can't see shit and you can't see your HUD because this mod disables it for some reason. Cool for taking screenshots, but not good enough to play with it. It even fucking disables particles. Fucking hydra shot invisible bullets at me.
They should really remove the torch unless we have to absolutely use it in certain areas. In Dark Souls II it was basically useless even on default brightness. Maybe add torch puzzles.
Ayy fagets so today I decided to play a bit of Dark Souls and remembered some fond memories along the way, such as my first character made purely for PvP.
So, you think it sucks, doesn't it? Well, honestly I understand why you would think that. Back when I was new I had no idea how to play Dark Souls competitively. I mean, I called the fucking character "Cleric" because I wanted to make him a Faith based character, before I changed my mind and decided to put a shit ton of points in HP for no reason, thinking that it would improve my durability in PvP. Needless to say, it didn't (Backstabs are a thing).
However, I marched on, invading lower level areas as I started building my character (Back then I didn't know Megamule was a thing so I did it the hard way). Eventually, I started getting good, but most of the time it was because I invaded newbies who had no idea how to fight against an actual player. I met skilled opponents who completely annihilated me whenever I dared fight them. It was infuriating, fighting someone who clearly knew the game better than you, but I never gave up. I kept trying and trying harder, until I understood what my build had become and how I was using it. Eventually, I began dominating the same players I once had trouble against. I only needed my trusty Zwei and Wolf Ring to decimate them into nothingness. I wouldn't level up past Soul Level 65, because of the challenge and the fact that I could invade more players that way. People would send me glorious hatemail once I killed them, most of the time involving them copulating with my mother.
It was truly amazing. It felt amazing when I survived a gank from three high level players by tanking them all with Iron Flesh. It felt amazing when I dodged someone's Dark Bead with my shitty fat roll. It felt amazing when my Jagged Ghost Blade actually killed someone. It felt amazing when I parried a filthy katana user. I made tons of PvP builds after that, but none of them were as fun as playing as Piggu Knight, the reason why is because it was a build that was completely crap in the eyes of a Dark Souls pro. Most builds nowadays are just Min/Max tryhards who attempt to create the best possible character for their build. It doesn't matter if they are DEX or STR or FAI or INT or even QUALITY builds. They are all the same. They never try builds out of their comfort zone anymore. I'm not saying that I'm better than them, but I really do miss the days when PvP was mostly unknown and people had no idea what worked and what didn't. My PvE Resistance build was fucking trash, but I saw the humor in it and just laughed. I miss the days when Dark Souls hadn't been found by Twitch and Reddit. Now there's all this shit about "honor" and stuff and even when I try to have some fun people just indict me and send me hateful messages about how much of an "asshole" I am and that I am the "casual scum that plagues this game".
Regardless to say I stopped playing Dark Souls 1 for an entire year. I played just a bit of it during this summer and I was quite rusty. Piggu Knight still feels great though, I'm glad that I didn't lose him. Of course, PvP is mostly dead now, except in boring areas that are suited for "le honor fights xDDDD" instead of actual, ya know, INVADING. I'm not ranting about the old days though. I love Piggu Knight. I love Dark Souls. I love the game, even if an interesting aspect of it has been toned down by its community. I'm glad that this thread existed, since it revived my interest in the game. It's really funny that I suggested Dere to play Dark Souls, while I hadn't played it in a year. That's just how much the game had affected me I suppose, but I'm glad more people are able to play it.
So yeah, end fond memories. Long live Piggu Knight the shitty build with 1900 HP and le clichè Chaos Zwei.
btw all of those stats are real. i really played A LOT
zerokaikashi: we can ask questions here yeah?
