Well /v/, which way?
>>737302419Sekiro's side wins for that game alone.Nobody gives a shit about DS2 and Demon's Souls.
>>737302419Left easily
Right and it's not even a contest>DS1 is redundant, Demons Souls does atmosphere and lore better and DS2 is a straight upgrade in everything else>DS3 is a linear boss rush with no depth, DS2 has branching paths and sequence breaking>Elden Slop
>>737302826This /thread
>>737302419Elden Ring>Dark Souls=Sekiro>Demon's Souls>Dark Souls 2=Dark Souls 3
>DeSKino atmosphere, environmental hazards, perfect sense of challenge, tensions and eventually accomplishment, understandable decent story, 10/10>DSNice atmosphere, obscure story, lore faggotry becomes huge, second half is boring af and obviously rushed, 7/10>DS2Kino atmosphere, best hub, improvement on combat systems, decent story, well paced, 8.5/10>DS3Unmemorable grey shit, bad ripoff of DS1, rushed cash cow product, 5/10>SekiroKino everything. Skill based rather than farming/equipment combat, good story, perfect combat, navigation, pacing, bosses. 10/10 From's still got it>Elden ShitThe worst of the worst. Throws away the winning formula in return for 100+ hours of open world slop, repeatable bosses, arteria leaf treasure hunting, bad balance, zero environmental hazards, zero tension, checkpoints everywhere, autistic bosses with one hit kills and endless combos, peak lorefaggotry, 3/10
>>737302419DS2 and SK are basically polar opposites. DS2 is all about positioning and in Sekiro it's all about standing in one place. I am still choosing right, although I'd miss DS1 and ER.

>>737302419Right>Sekiro is fresh>DeS got me into the series>I am the only DaSII fan on the board
360 degrees and roll away. Soulslop is utter shite
>>737302419you could put Sekiro alone in it's little corner on the bottom and people will still pick that over the other options, sekiro is just that good
>>737302419Don't put DOGSHIT 2 anywhere close to those masterpieces.
>>737302419I go play real action games
>>737302419PS3 DeS, DaS1 and Sekiro.Everything else is slop.
>>737302419Sekiro > Dark Souls 2 > Dark Souls > Elden Ring > Dark Souls 3 > Demon's Souls
>>737302419You are a piece of shit, putting their best games with fucking Elden Shit
Faggot OP put all of the covers through AI for no reason
>>737304017>repeatable bossesds2 did that with bonfire ascetics. sekiro with boss memories. if you meant "repeated" bosses, then sekiro has that with the seven spears, headlesses, lone shadows, etc. at the end of the day, elden has far more unique bosses than sekiro and it isnt even close >zero environmental hazardsoh, just like in sekiro then? did you forget that sekiro is the only game in OP's pic where bottomless pits arent instant death? >checkpoints everywhereoh, just like in sekiro then?>autistic bosses with one hit kills and endless combosunlike in sekiro, you are not expected to deflect attacks in succession, nor are you limited to mostly using melee attacks. if you restrict yourself to self-imposed "melee purist" playstyles and choose not to take advantage of boss combos by hurling spells or ashes of war at them, then that's on you im really getting tired of you discord trannies trying to shit on elden. especially now that you retards think that this "ummmm ackshually, im a fromsoft fan! i love sekiro!" angle is working
>>737302419>DeS is a jank dungeoncrawler that's pretty rough around the edges>DaS is a jank dungeoncrawler that reduces the complexity of its systems a bit, but spirals out into a Metroidvania and simplifies a bit more to what is actually essential>DaS2 is an aborted open world with massive scope creep and its constituent pieces grafted together with spit and tape that scared From Software off from ever experimenting again. And also you can warp to every checkpoint, so it's shit.>DaS3 is a phoned in, oversimplified cashgrab that feels like it cut more content than DaS2 ever did somehow and stitched the output of a low-budget asset farm into a human centipede. And also you can warp to every checkpoint, so it's shit.>Sekiro is a decent title but rams headfirst into the fact that its systems have been obsolete for years now and it's trying to make the systems of a jank dungeoncrawler with shit UI do the work of something that's actually combat focused, adding the ebin mid-2010s grappling hook does adequately not update its controls. And also you can warp to every checkpoint from a menu, so it's shit>Elden Ring would not suffer if you cut 70% of the map, it is just garbage filler. And also you can warp to every checkpoint from the pause menu, so it's extra shit.DaS just can't carry the dead weight DaS3 and ER, whereas at least the trio of janky DeS, Icarus DaS2 and kind of stunted Sekiro can do sort of alright for itself as a bundle of games you'd find buried in a bargain bin among obscure eastern European games and farming simulators and you'd be kind of happy about it even though one of those games would probably be replaced with farming simulator 2011 when you actually buy them.
>>737302419Sekiro's side has one massive stinking piece of dogshit named Dark Souls 2 but it also has sovlful king Demon's Souls vs Slop Ring (aka Dark Souls 2 2) Yawn Souls 3 and the best Souls. I'll pick that Sekiro's side.
>>737302419Sekiro because it is too influential, many games that market themselves as ''souls-likes'' are really sekiro clones (nioh 2, lies of shart, winds meet, khazan etc)
>>737302419Left without even batting an eye.
>>737302419sekiro is literally hard carrying right side there but fuck it still go right without a doubt
>>737302419Left.DeS was alright, DS2 should get more respect for all the uniquely cool shit it did, Sekiro is fucking hardcore, but in the end the basic formula is still the best thing ever made in vidya.
>>737302419didn't everyone say Eldren Ring is the descendant of DS2?
>>737302419Right, but I would replace DS2 with Bloodborne.
>>737304017Technically ds3 ripsoff des not ds1, the gimmick giant boss fight is a copy paste from des' Storm king, the mana bar, the blind firekeeper, irythl is a copy paste of the prison of hope, the nexus hub, siegward's quest is copy paste of Bioh the twin fangs' quest, you even find him in a jail. the witch you find in irythil is the daughter of alva and zullie from ds2 but her design and quest are a throwback to the witch from Des since you find her imprisoned aswell and she becomes your ally in master both dark and faith spells
>>737302826Oh no not a linear boss rush. Please give me meaningless branching paths. My experience is totally enhanced by accessing the game in a totally random order.
>>737308549Yeah elden ring is the ds2 of the left side while ds2 is the ds2 of the right side, you get it now?
>>737308498>ds2>the uniquely cool shit it didWhat unique shit, getting raped by mobs is not unique and unfair ganks is not unique, unfair bosses aren't unique
>>737302419Sekiro is the best out of all of them and thus I want to pick that side. However, DaS2 is so terrible I have to go with the left side.
>>737309017Why are there so many of these "I aggro'd every enemy on the map and now I am dead, how could this have happened to me?" videos?Just kill mobs one by one? Use a bow? It's not that hard.
>>737309514>kill mobs one by oneWhen you aggro one of them, his buddies follow through>use a bowThere are areas where you have to deal with invisible enemies that oneshot or backstab you and oneshot you later, you didn't play the game
>>737309017>describes ds3>presents it as ds2 criticism Huh?
>>737302419I don't see my GOAT
>>737302419Ya gotta give me context ohpee Do I have to play the games or I'm just stuck with em? If Im just stuck with em I'll pick right side anyday because I'll just ignore DS2 and play Sekiro and DeS
>>737302419DeS, Sekiro and DaS are top tier.DaS sadly loses here because it's got two slop games on its side.
