The Souls series' gameplay and its consequences have been a disaster for gaming.
>>735001417this looks like zelda doe
>>735001567>looks like zeldaCorrect.But the gameplay is Fromslop: non-stop dodging, stamina bar which depletes when you attack, run or dodge, potions which take a second or two to drink, etc.It's not fun :(
>>735002203yeah, it's a shame
I could see a soulslike gb-style zelda working, basically a zelda with less dungeons and more boss fights, but they went the path of making everything so fucking tedious. "Soulslike" just means tedious to these devs. They should have made normal mobs have way less HP and focus more on making exploration more interesting. Normal mobs don't take as many hits to down in the souls games as in this, where it's way more boring to fight them. And the maps are so bland.Each stat point should feel like a big upgrade, but they're very weak increments.

>>735003059I think part of it is lazy devs wanting to inflate play time so the game looks better cause it's longer.>increase enemy HP 2x>this doubles play time, making your game look like it's worth more to retard consumers>only work is changing a few numbersvs>make interesting, well designed levels>this takes 10x more time and effort and requires you to have talent
>>735003010>"Soulslike" just means tedious to these devs. They should have made normal mobs have way less HP and focus more on making exploration more interesting.Nine Sols did this right by having a difficulty adjustment. I played on Story Mode and it was still a decent challenge for this old man.
>>735003248but muh indie games are gunna save teh industreh!!!
>>735003248Do most people even enjoy tedious fights against basic mobs? Genuinely asking because I'm way out of the loop.The whole dodging gimmick is also a chore, because it means enemies have unnatural attack patterns.
>>735001417No. Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 were peak gameplay.This shit started with BB/DS3.
>>735002203oh that's terrible
>>735003540>Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 were peak gameplay>roll>roll>roll>eat herbs>roll>attack>roll
>>735003648rolling around in DeS or DS1 is post-PtD Edition PC release.Before that Shield (DeS) or go full poise (DS1) was the way to play. Fucking tourist.
>>735003648you don't need to roll in des and das1. You can avoid most by just move around. Do you really played these games lmao?
>>735003696I beat Demons Soul even though I hated it. Might as well complete a game that I purchased. Never tried Dark Souls, I've had enough of this type of games.
>>735001417I actually really enjoy Souls combat.But I find it kinda cringe how it is forced into every new game because I like variety.
