Go for winged knight halberd or gundyrs. Both have godlike reach and real damage. Gundyrs has probably my favorite weapon style in the game as well with it's big charge in to spin slash move.

Err, that's more than a little hyperbolic.
1) The worst entry in the series is the one he didn't oversee.
2) Even that one is really, really good, and the ones he DID work on are superb.
3) So superb that it isn't even clear to me which one he "got lucky" on.

To the extent that the existence of its target demographic was uncertain, maybe. But the game WAS great.

Yeah that's what I mean.
Also he got lucky in that the company was willing to give him the leeway to fix what was otherwise a going into the garbage product.
Because before he got ahold of it Demons Souls was heading towards being shitcanned.

The only one he didn't oversee had
1. The best pvp combat by far, not this estoc/straightsword r1 mashing shitshow with infinite roll spam
2. The largest weapon variety with the most unique movesets, not like 3 where 1h & 2h movesets are exact copy paste jobs
3. Animations that werent recycled. Every weapon class had its own unique parry/backstab animations. Here every weapon either stabs or chops.
And I already mentioned how there's no incentive at all to play NG+. New new invaders or phantoms, no new enemies or mob placements, no new weapons, no new boss souls with added lore. There's nothing aside from a couple shitty +1 rings. They really phoned it in

NG+ seems so overrated to me. When i finish a game i just move on to another, in this case it will be uncharted 4. Too many good games out to play the same one again and again. Dont think i have cared about ng+ since chrono trigger.
Especially annoying when they lock trophies behind multiple playthroughs in long rpgs.

Thanks! That page linked the article below, which I also quite liked. It starts out with the usual unsucessful attempt at articulating the ineffable beauty of the game's world, but it gets interesting when he starts talking about a real-life inspiration for the game's multiplayer.

It's like everyone forgets how garbage PVP/weapon variety was in DS2 at launch. Does no one remember the havelmage and avelyn weeks/months when that game came out? DS2 is great now, sure, after a half dozen patches and 3 DLCs to add weapons and spells and shit. Lol they buffed chaos blade in a patch, come on that game was hot garbage for PVP forever. PARRY BANANA, jesus the more I think back on it the worse it gets.
NG+ is pretty lazy in DS3 though for sure, really no reason to do it unless you want to redo some NPC questlines or farm up to some retarded level 150 build or something.

lloyd's shield ring might work? reduces damage taken when at max, maybe like that and blue tear stone? prob hurts your damage too much but could be something. Might as well throw the sword ring on at that point too. Maybe just sword + shield ring and then whatever, sounds possibly good on a heavy hitter.
So is there a way to reset the story based NPC's in this game like the others? I turned a corner with no flasks and low hp saw a guy on the wall with a massive hammer and I just started swinging, turns out his should be on my side and I should talk before swinging

Yes. In the Undead Village, after you get the mortician's ashes and purchase the 1500 soul key from the lady you give the ashes to in Firelink, get to the dilapidated bridge bonfire with the shortcut open through the sewers. In the sewers just past the fog wall is a door you can open with that key. When you go through that door you go down some stairs and if you turn right, at the end of the hallway is a statue where you can pay souls to fix npcs who are upset with you.
