Why was it so much better than the rest of the Souls slop games?Was it the fact that it wasn't just roll slopping 24/7 and you could actually do shield based builds properly?Was it that the game had no bloat or massive amounts of cut content beyond the 4th archstone?Was it that the PVP was simple uncucked fun where you could royally fuck over dipshits for shits and giggles?
people incorrectly attribute it's success to Memeaslopi. it's really actually the best 7/10 because Japan Studio was involved in development and planning. From Shitware just won the bid to produce it. same reason BB is also at the top of the Soulsshit list. also why Snoy is holding these titles and Gravity Rush hostages forever as conshit exclusives.
it really wasn't.3/4ths of everything in DeS is just miserable to wade through.most of the levels suckmost of the bosses suckmost of the enemies are just annoying and buggyAnd it also has the lowest points in the whole series with Dragon God/Man Eaters/Astraea and the entire swamp archstone.it's truly a mess of a game hard-carried by its very first level.
>>724242543>astraea>low pointFuck off rollslopper.
>>724242543>lowest points in the whole series>When Dark Souls 2 exists (and has an even worse version of itself with Scholars of the First Sin)
>>724242008you can be an L1 coward in 1, 2 and elden ringthe combat has never been good in any of these games. that's why demon's souls is smart enough to have shit like Astraea and the Old Hero who rely on an interesting one-time idea instead of the god awful souls mechanics.
>>724242624terrible gimmick fight>>724242638Black Gulch is certainly terrible too, but it's still less terrible than the entirely of W5 or Upper Latria
>>724242859And yet there is not a single fight in all of Elden Ring better than Astraea.
>>724243008Well, FS were clearly burnt out in the midst of 3, so it's not surprising.Astraea and Storm King were just great things stuck in the wrong game.
>>724242543All wrong
>only took three (3) posts for the DS2 seething to start againPottery
>>724243486Flamelurker runback being a choice between a 20 minute walk and a tedious 3d platforming section is just another example.
>>724242008des/das1 threads were so comfy man i wish we could just pretend the later games don't exist and talk about
it's an adventure game first and foremost not an action game with shallow combat like the modern ones
>>724243763hard boss at the end of hard level is called pacing something which DeS does the best
im sorry but anyone who says this was better than an even dark souls 1 is just wrong. this game is the prototype for dark souls and that's literally all there is to it. the remake/remaster/demake plays basically the same as this boring ass game.ultimately dark souls remastered is the best game to go back and play but only barely. shit pales in comparison to SOTFS. From Software is really a quite shitty company for a lot of reasons I could write u an essay
>>724244194Flamelurker is fine, the runback being unnecessarily retarded is the issue (and also not pacing, just filler).They got better with unlockable shortcuts in dark souls, which is why it's the better game.
>demon's souls thread>instead of appreciating the game op is stirring shit for easy ragebait so it will be full of retarded cancerous franchise infighting insteadfuck youyou don't deserve this videogamekill yourself
>>724242008What an awful post
>>724242008DS>BB>DeS=ER>Sekiro>>>>DS3I didn't play DS2
