It was better than Dark Souls 1.
>>732292459Agreed. It's a full experience.
It didn't insist upon itself.
anon you didn't give any arguments about why its better
>>732292459Agreed. Dark Souls' contribution to the series was just open world and a more interesting story. Admittedly, level design in Dark Souls approaches perfection, but overall Demon's Souls is the GOAT.
>>732293215Demons souls has better level design than dark souls.
>>732292459I agree with your post but not the filename, so I must rescind my endorsement.
>>732292459Worst game out of all the soulsborne games. This board loves its revisionism as usual.
>>732293290I think Undead Burg to Firelink Shrine and the surrounding beginning areas are better than anything in Demon's Souls. But then Dark Souls gets decidedly less interesting in terms of level design after that. It distinctly feels like the beginning was them proving it could be done, but then they were like "Holy fuck we have to make the whole game like this?"
>>732292459Disagree. But it is better than every Souls game after DaS1, including Bloodborne and Elden Ring.
>>732293439Boletarian palace is a more intricate level than undead burg
Agreed. DS1 shit the bed with half its bosses being buggy messes. DeS only really had storm king as a problem, and the fight was still innovative and fun to play.Anyone got that comic with the Old King Allant fight?
>>732292459Yeah.
>>732293441DeS (2009) > ER >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>732294038Storm King is fine. DeS's Bed of Chaos was Dragon God, where the gimmick doesn't work 99% of the time and facetanking works better than stealth. It's only slightly better than Bed of Chaos because it doesn't throw away core design elements of the series as the devs admission to the fight being shit.
das rite
>>732292459It really wasn't. When was the last time you replayed it on real hardware?
>>732292459I just played it for the first time on PS3 a few months ago, it was great.
the third archstones were such a disappointment that I can't really agree. bottom completely falls out with those lame boss gimmick arenas starting immediately after the second stage.
>>732292459It IS better than anything they've made since
DeS has nice atmosphere and all that but for a game that people said to be "suuuuuuper hard" maaan some bosses are like zero effort.Garl Vinland literally stays in place while his weapon bounces on the rocks.Storm King is a glorified cinematic.Leechmonger may not exist at all.The only boss worth a damn is False King Allant.
>>732292459Sony souls games were always betterBB>=DeS>DS1>rest
It was better than DaS1 until everyone could emulate it, and then its accessibility made it Miyazaki's worst entry.
>>732293439It was a case of the game being forced to release well before it was ready because Bamco somehow thought it was a suitable title to cash in on Skyrim hype.
>>732292459Not really.
From is the last Jap studio standing. Everything else enshittified beyond belief. When From falls, Jap gaming is over
>>732296705what about flame lurker?
>>732294281I hate how retarded looking most axes are in the souls series.
>>732297283no one could have predicted its success, be honest
>>732298903Demons Souls was in the greatest hits collection by that point. I lived in a relatively small town, yet I was one of many people at (fucking) GameStop to pick it up day one. They weren't expecting normie blockbuster status, but it was pretty much assumed that it would be at least a moderate success.
>>732292459Look I prefer it too but is it possible for even one person on /v/ to talk positively about a game they like without inviting bullshit from fans who prefer something else?This constant comparison stuff adds nothing to any discussion that can be had on the game and in fact encourages people who disagree to exaggerate flaws and people who agree to defend things they don't actually like about it just to push back.Or is this garbage style of flamebait posting just all you know anymore?
>>732299293Demon's souls fed off being an exclusiveEither way bamco's choice was right
>>732298903it was such an insanely popular game it was getting people to import it. It was near top of the charts at playasia (lol) for a couple years straight for the asia-english version before the US got the release.
>>732300246Wow it sold almost 2 millionsTruly groundbreaking
>>732300370compared to literally every fromsoft RPG beforehand, yeah, that's a pretty fucking enormous jump.
>>732292459But enough about Dark Souls 2.
>>732295712Das rae das rae
