Dark Souls 3 aged BADLYWOWjust WOW
>>737903231>filtered
>>737903361>filtered... from putting turds in your mouth and chewing and swallowing
>>737903668yes, filtered
>>737903231I put claymore in my bussy
I tried playing DS1 again and I just dont have hte patience for these types of games anymore
>>737903743That’s the only one worth going back to.
>>737903685>Umm... filtered from sucking tranny cock?! lolAny game you don't like filters you.
>>737903231wait is your nigga left handed or sum? Your sword and shield are in the wrong slots arent they?
>>737903231Filtered by grimdark visuals
>>737903743The only good ones are Bloodborne and Sekiro since they're actually fun to play.
fug
>>737903819It's the second worse playing one aside from DS2 and is loaded with shit levels. Even Demon's is better to go back to.
>>737903231The lighting in this game is really odd, Bloodborne looks much better
>>737903231All Souls games have shitty graphics
>>737903231I just finished it for the first time pretty good
When this game came out I got hard filtered for about 30 minutes. I kept looking around for a way out of that damned church. But I couldn't find it.I was not expecting to have to teleport out of the nexus. After playing 1&2 but not DS, I expected the hub to be conneted to the world. Honestly, at that moment I lost all of my respect for the game. It just felt so cheap and lazy.
>>737904110Someone at From must have a boner for Victorian and Cathedrals. I'm nearly surprised Sekiro was entirely Japanese.
>>737904427>It just felt so cheap and lazy.especially when the highwall of lothric is so close geographically
>>737903743yes you don't like video games that's very common here
>lothric knight helm>fallen knight armor>faraam bootsYup, it's fashion souls time
Sekiro is the only Fromslop game that's fun to replay
>>737906019For me it's the drakeblood and my trusty lothric long spear
>>737903231Aged? It’s the same as it’s always been.
I often wonder what this board would be like if every souls thread wasn't just an eternal argument claiming "this game is bad" and "that game is better."Why can't we all just get along?
>>737903821You are literally retarded if that is what you thought that meant.
>>737906019>Cathedral Knight Helm>Faraam Armor>Black Iron Gauntlets >Black Knight Leggings>Executioner's Greatsword>Sacred Bloom Shield (magic doesn't exist)Gaming time
>>737906651>Sekiro is the only Fromslop game that's fun to replayBait has to be at least a little believable.
>>737903231All of the Souls games look garbage, even for the time they released and Bloodborne looks OK but runs like shit.
>>737903853No?
>>737903231Dark Souls 3 needs an inhouse remaster by FromSoftware that does the following:1. Adds 120FPS support.2. Improves the LOD and fixes all the pop-in issues.3. Improves textures faithfully for native 4K resolution.4. Increases the stamina cost of dodging by 15%.5. Adds Steam Cloud Saves.6. Fixes all the glitches and bugs.7. Adds the most intrusive kernel level access anti-cheat system on the market to combat hackers.I will gladly pay full price for this. Anyone who claims that Dark Souls 3 doesn't need a remaster or that it has aged well is a low IQ subhuman console only faggot.
>>737903743>patienceYou don't have the skill.These games don't require patience.
>>737903668This.Fromsloppers gonna slop.
>>737904427>It just felt so cheap and lazy.This is what happens when Bandai Scamco has the upper hand and forces FromSoftware to speed develop Dark Souls 3 in an extremely short development time period, right after having fucked over Dark Souls 2 by forcing FromSoftware to also release the game for PS3 and Xbox 360 AND cutting down the development time of the project by a year, which caused FromSoftware to downgrade and butcher Dark Souls 2.The damage Bandai Scamco has done to the Dark Souls games is insane, anyone who is a true fan of Dark Souls games or/and a true fan of FromSoftware, will hate Bandai Scamco forever.I can't wait for FromSoftware to finally self-publish world wide so that Bandai Scamco can never get my money like the parasites they are.
Not trueThis game was ass since day 1
>>737903231Not as badly as Dark souls 1
I don't care about graphics, artistic direction is all that matters
>>737903231I still never got around to playing any of the Dark Souls franchise, I guess I may as well just wait on the remakes coming around at this point?
>>737903231>agedit was never good lmao
>>737903231What is this fucking buildLMAOOOYoure in the final area, with like the most basic boring weapon in the gameIts not even a caster because your only spell is soul arrow and you have no blue estusDid you literally play the whole game with a fucking broadswordAnd crest shield is basically useless at that point I cant imagine you actually using it for anything
>>737910367It is the best Dark Souls game by far.
Guys I just finished replaying Ds1 and Ds3. Should I play Ds2 or DeS next?
>>737909759All FromSoft games need remasters that properly finish them, but it'll never happen. It's a tragedy >Demon's Souls with the snow level restored and finished >DS1 with a better second half and finished versions of Lost Izalith >DS2, well everything>DS3 with better visuals, nerf to rolling, finished versions of Archdragon Peak and Profaned Capital>Bloodborne with more refined Chalice Dungeons, restored side quests and boss rush mode, expanded late-game areas to make the pacing better>Elden Ring with revamped item and enemy placement to encourage exploration over repetitive combat
>>737910563DaS2 original, avoid SOTFS.Then DeS original, avoid the demake.Then you can move on and play the 2 best games: Sekiro and Bloodborne.
>>737904427I felt the same until I stumbled upon the real firelink shrine in the world proper.BB felt more confusing too if you kill the dog. It's like wtf do I do now
why do normies keep insisting with fromsoft games? go back to your slop, they were niche for a reason
>>737903231where is the badly aged aspect of your image? what am i supposed to be seeing thats offensive here?
>>737910589Out of all of those, the only one that is likely to happen is Bloodborne, because:1. Miyazaki prevented BluePoint from remaking Bloodborne.2. Miyazaki said that remakes have value when technology has advanced enough, saying that a Bloodborne remake on PS6 would be interesting.3. Has said multiple times that more Bloodborne content is Sony's call.4. Has said that he would love to return to Bloodborne.6. Has said that he wants more people to experience Bloodborne and that many people at FromSoftware would love to see a PC version.I believe we are getting a Bloodborne Remake during the PS6 era and that it will come to both PS6 and PC AND that we will get a Bloodborne 2 for PS6, which will most likely be exclusive for a while.There is a Bloodborne movie being made, the signs are there, new Bloodborne gaming content to go with the movie or right after the movie.
>>737904581thats the one thing i didnt like about ds3. its aesthetically quite monotonous. ornate flamboyant gothic cathedrals literally everywhere.
>>737910970Nta. But also just the same washed out graybrown color pallette. None of the others seem to have the same problem
>>737909883Not true unless you're very skilled or know the game really well. Combat is really slow compared to an action game like DMC or something. I don't know what to call it because it's not really high commitment either; games with stamina bars are just slow.
>>737911238that too. also the music (dont hate me) is not as good as 1, i find. you never hear baroque and modernist pieces like this in 3 really. the use of harpsichords in 1 was so sickhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw7ewRkzPGkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuKMLHIM-_8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5tpDbLsh2Ihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OAbeM4XQC8
I played this game for 200 hours and I only now realized that one boss arena in dreg heap is firelink shrine from DS1
>>737903231WOW IT'S FUCKING KINOOOOOOOOOO
>>737911579People keep saying you can see Earthen Peak there as well but I just don't fucking see it.
>>737911579
>>737903938that's a big HP bar.
>>737911579I still don't understand the lore of this game whatsoever. The Ringed City was an illusion? But why does it look even more deserted than the Dreg Heap then?
>>737911710nigga is you blind
>>737911839I find it funny how this is the only thing connecting DS2 to DS3noncanon ass game
>>737911950as a fellow DS2 hater, thats just untrue, unfortunately. theres lots of DS2 references in 3. we dont need to stoop to lies in order to show our superiority.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvyEk-qQ6Ps
>>737903743soulsborne games really are starting to feel like an artifact from the 2010s, they were fun as an alternative to what other devs were doing at the time but now the gameplay loop is stale and people are bored of it
>>737910794Soulslop was never niche lmao except maybe Demon's Souls, Dark Souls was a massive breakout hit that completely changed the landscape of gaming. don't pretend like it's some unknown secret game you fucking poser.
>>737911839>there is a windmill, must be earthen peak!!!DaS2 troonies are mentally ill.>>737911950It is not earthen peak, only retards believe that.DaS3 has actual connections to DaS2, like the ladder maker guy in profane capital.
>>737912184>but now the gameplay loop is stale and people are bored of itNope.Sekiro and Bloodborne are amazing and timeless masterpieces.Elden DOGSHIT Ring is DOGSHIT and will always be DOGSHIT.Dark Souls trilogy are held back by technical flaws that FromSoftware could fix with remasters, but refuses to do so.
>>737911798just try not to think about it. Thinking about anything but gameplay with this series is a recipe for schizophrenia.
>>737903853Its not zelda dude
>>737912235>DaS2 troonies are mentally illim literally anti-DS2 you raging retard. its just that it is objectively the earthen peak from 2, whether you like it or not. i hate DS2, dumb cunt.
>>737912235the bonfire in that area is literally called "Earthen Peak Ruins" you fucking brown person.
>>737903231yeah, unfortunately it's the worst from game so it was always terrible
>>737912235>It is not earthen peakThe bonefire is literally called "Earthen Peak Ruins"
>anti ds2 posters are lashing out at each other arguing over things that are easily verifiedimagine my shock.
>DS2 nogs can't readWoah...
I've just gotten to the brothers. I'm a little annoyed at how I've apparently skipped every character quest in the game by complete accident... I think I can go back and do Anri's possibly but I completely missed the part with the Caterina guy stuck down the well. Speaking of, not only have I totally missed Patches being in this game somehow and getting some support for the Yohrn fight. Fucking godawful fight by the way... Running around like a headless chicken trying to charge stormruler...The zombie hunter guys were a pretty fun fight, I liked Sullivan, I really liked the Aldrich one actually... Dancer I beat first time.I dunno... The early portion of the game sorta sucked but once I got past the Cathedral things picked up. Definitely not the best souls experience but I'd be happy saying it's a better time than DS1 and Demon Souls.
Why DO we like these games?
>>737911798It was a real illusion. It takes place at the end of time when the real Ringed City is dust. The princess projects her dream of the city as she knew it, mirroring Gwyn's false extension the Age of Fire. When you wake her the beautiful lie ends as she faces the grim truth. It's more themes and imagery than logic so don't overthink it.
>>737913098the gameplay loop was fun for a while until the meta became bosses who spam 12 hit combos and parryslopping
youre playing the best game in the series, remember thay
>>737913003yeah the quest design in 3 are among some of their most obtuse and zanzibartian. a lot of them are also straight up unfinished or strung together last minute in very uninteresting ways
Isn't everything all mashed together cause they pulled Lords of Cinder from different worlds and timelines? I'd have kinda liked to hear why each of the Lords bailed out on finishing their game... They're all just kinda fucking off elsewhere. The Farron dudes are stuck in a basement killing each other, the Giant is sitting in his cave all depressed, Alrich is sorta just eating everything, and the princes are being disappointments. No reason any of them couldn't finish their job.
>>737913098It's more than the sum of its parts for me. I start playing with what I imagine is the character's attitude, checking corners and playing it safe.
>>737903231i know.. Dark Souls 2 on the other hand aged gracefully and is fondly remembered instead
>>737913320I just kinda feel like I've missed so much with the NPCs... At least in DS1 I got to enjoy Solare and the Fatty guy who were hard to miss. DS2 I remember having stuff where you needed to summon NPCs for bosses but there's so many NPCs that I always had a community of people back in Majula. DS3... I don't think dialogue has changed since folks came to the shrine. The old shopkeeper, Andre, and the Firekeeper still yap the same shit they did when I first came by.
DS2 has always been perfectly fine. I've never understood how people could have a hate boner for the game. It has everything DS1 and Demon Souls established whilst giving you more bosses, more weapons, and more zones.
>they actually put dark souls 3 on 50% salewhat? something happened? is something about to happen? this actually woke me up a bit.
>>737913098Level design.
>>737913712you had to be there when there was only DeS and DS1. the hype for 2 was immense and we were all fantasizing that it was gonna be like DS1 but ironing out the kinks and new, daring and interesting stuff, but then it was just this flaccid game that was the opposite of what we imagined. its not as bad as i felt it was when i first played it on release, but damn what a ridiculously huge letdown it was.
DS3 a based
This is canon
>>737913927I'm sort of a faggot. My introduction to the souls games was through Vaati's loredump videos. I much preferred the story and lore of DS2 so that's what I played first. I genuinely loved my time with the game from beginning to end so going back to DS1 fucking suuucked... I genuinely made myself sick with frustration in DS1 with Neato's cave and the wheel skeletons. Demon Souls was a bit better but was carried by vibes.
>>737912338
>>737913373Anon, they're called the lords of cinder because they're burnt from spending so much time on fire in the heart of the first flame, much like Gwyn.They were all brought back to life for a second go, since Gundyr was late to his appointment with the first flame and the little guy in firelink threw himself in to keep it going instead in the meantime.Obviously after spending whoever knows how long on fire they're not too keen on being sent back in there, to the bells ring to summon the ashen tard wranglers to bring them in by force.You are one such specimen.
>>737903231that looks awesome though. what's your point?t. fucking hated DS3 but like Elden Ring
>>737913098Cool atmosphere, well laid out control scheme, difficult and fun bosses, variety of weapons.
>>737904427>most linear dark souls>niggers get filtered by cementery of ash
>>737914204Hold on... Why is Gundyr relevant to this? The flame just needs someone to ignite it and the lil bro is considered a Lord of Cinder so surely things are fine. Gundyr is right at the door after all.Also the Lords sound like mega cucks for bitching out of their flame burn duty. It's not like there's anything fun to do in the world to occupy them. Everything is long gone to shit.
>>737910678You can just find a lamp naturally and go to the workshop. You are not forced to die.
>>737903231
>>737913098I like the gameplay and how the majority of bosses work compared to other games. That said I do prefer others in the genre over most of FromSoft's stuff.
>>737911798>The Ringed City was an illusion? But why does it look even more deserted than the Dreg Heap then?Not an illusion, but frozen in time due to Filianore dreaming. The gods have power over time, but it is limited, in that they cannot reverse the flow of it. They put up time barriers to halt the Age of Fire from ending, which causes the world to stagnate, which gives birth to abhorrent creatures because they thrive in stagnation. When you wake up Filianore, the time dam ends, rushing time forward to the present, a burnt out world because the Gods couldn't let go of their rule.
>>737913910Which is funny because DS3 has no level design whatsoever. Playing DS3 has the same feeling as queuing for lines at Disneyland, everything is just a glorified waiting area until the next boss(ride).
>>737913373https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckwcmqtb2eALinking the fire actually sucks. The Lords chose not to burn to death for eternity and just wait it out.
>>737915238But I don't like Dark Souls 3. The post was about "these games", the reason why I like Souls games is above all else level design.
>>737913098Amazing character designs, good music and decent gameplay
>>737912379>its just that it is objectively the earthen peak from 2It isn't. It doesn't look like earthen peak at all. You are retarded.
>>737912462>the bonfire in that area is literally called "Earthen Peak Ruins" you fucking brown person.Nope, it isn't.>>737912527>The bonefire is literally called "Earthen Peak Ruins"Nope, it isn't, fuck off liar.
>>737912358The best way to approach Dark Souls lore is to only care about Dark Souls 1 lore.2 and 3 are non-canon garbage.
>>737914979Headcanon garbage. Fuck Dark Souls 2 and Dark Souls 3, and anyone who likes them and their fake lore.Only Dark Souls 1 is canon.
>>737913986>posts troonreign shitfuck outta here secondary
>>737915238You are a low IQ subhuman who doesn't understand the difference between level design and world design.
>>737915613boot up the game and go check you dumb retard
>>737903231>aged badly>posts SOVLWhat does he mean by this?
>>737916078Nightreign is better than Elden DOGSHIT Ring.
>>737916134Nope. It isn't earthen peak, I don't care what you have to say.
>>737915716It's all confusing and stupid. There's no reason to even look into it. I have over 700 hours in the series and I really have no desire to give a fuck about what's going on.
>>737915238>Which is funny because DS3 has no level design whatsoeverWhat absolute bollocks. I just have to point to Undead Settlement/Grand Archives/Farron Keep/Painted World.
>>737916264You are retarded.Dark Souls 1 lore makes perfect sense and is legendary, a lightning in a bottle moment for FromSoftware.They will never create any better lore and thematic than that of Dark Souls 1.Dark Souls 2 and 3 are confusing because they are garbage headcanon cashgrab nonsense. Fuck off.
>>737916347suck my cock. Gameplayfags are the ONLY reason dark souls is around faggot.
>>737916073>Headcanon garbageMiyazaki headcanon is canon.
>>737903231Today I will remind them
>>737916382Dark Souls 1 gameplay is mediocre, Sekiro and Bloodborne humiliate it.The strongest elements of Dark Souls 1 are the non-linear interconnected closed-world design and its lore/thematic.
>>737916264This is the way. Stories are for fags. Read a book, you fucking dorks.
>>737916390>Miyazaki headcanon is canon.Miyazaki had nothing to do with Dark Souls 2 nor Dark Souls 3. Stop falling for Bandai Scamco lies.
>Demon souls is mid>DS1 is 9/10 experience until Lost Izalith>DS2 unplayable>DS3 linear but a fun game>Bloodborne amazing world and level designs but most bosses are mid and carried by DLC>Elden Ring, open world slop but amazing worlds when you actually get thereThis franchise is fucking weird
>>737914531I'm pretty sure Gundyr was supposed to be the next fire sacrifice, but he didn't arrive in time. Since the FF is powered by souls, a person seems to need a certain minimum level of power to work as fuel, which is why DS1 required you to defeat a number of powerful lords to unlock the door to the kiln, and why the entire Farron Legion had to match in there at once for it to count.Ludleth was not particularly powerful, as he admits himself. But he threw himself in there in a last-ditch effort to keep the flame from fizzling out completely. He's also the only lord of cinder that returned to burn again voluntarily.
>>737916701I wasn't aware things were meant to be on a time limit at all. I just thought after the age of flame things would simply keep getting worse and worse until someone completed the journey to make a new age of flame. The world is already a sullen shithole in each of the games by the time we go to light the flame and undead are spat out until one of them is us. The implication in us not kindling the fire in DS1 is that someone else would come light it during an age of dark.
I love Miyazaki-sama
>>737916130Please tell me the intricacies of DS3 level design then.100% of DS3 levels are designed like this>Walk past every enemy without getting punished>Don't even get punished for rushing by getting lost since the levels are just giant hallways>Unlock a (useless)shortcut>See campfire next to the fog wallThis is why DS3 has no memorable levels like Anor Londo(DS1 not the butchered nostalgia bait in DS3) or Shrine of Amana
>>737917305>AN age of darkI always took it as THE age of dark, something always on the horizon but kept back each time someone new volunteered themselves to keep the flame going, with diminishing returns as each cycle gets incrementally shorter and shorter and requires larger and larger sacrifices. I know that some people read it as an endless leapfrogging series of ages of dark and light, but I feel like the game has no stakes if you know that the dark ending is just going to result in the flame re-lighting from nothing.
>>737918134>>Walk past every enemy without getting punishedYes actually I like this, DeS had some shit levels where doing it is kinda shit because the checkpoint was too far apart, DS1 fixed that
>>737916684How can you leave out sekiro.
>>737918583Never finished it.
>>737916684Seems like outside of DS2 these games are pretty consistently great but flawed experiences
>>737918514So you're a secondary that started with DS3 then good to know.
>>737919767DS2 but thanks for assuming, that game was fucking garbage, I wish I pirated the first one on my laptop, biggest regret
>>737916078If you like any game outside of the original Demons' Souls you are a secondary. Sorry to say you are a faggot.
>>737920051Your game is mid timmy sit down, there's only two good levels, a game needs a remake and overhaul the prison, defilement and mines to be a good game
>>737903231It's actually better than homo ring. Turns out, open world adds nothing and is only a detriment to the formula.
look at this shitbackground is a fucking JPG bro
>>737903231Looks sovlful
>>737903231i really liked DS3 but i cant explain whyi did several NG+'s meanwhile the other games i stopped once i finished oncegameplay good maybe?
>>737922020It's a beautiful jpeg tho
>>737920602elden ring is the best souls game... the first time you play it
>>737914132I think I smashed a controller after enough ganks by the mystery niggas near Sif in the forest, not knowing there was a shortcut
>>737914689>not Caelid
What is Miyazaki cooking next bros? I'm salivating already! No, Duskbloods doesn't count.
>>737918327Maybe it's also AN age of fire, specifically a world of Gwyn's own making, and he's simply being pissy about letting it go
>>737922020Yeah, and?>nooo you MUST waste time intricately modeling gigantic areas the player will never visit
>>737916416remind what
>>737903231I don't get it. What's the problem?
>>737909759>I will gladly pay full price for this.Gladly kill yourself instead.
>>737903231There are no differences between PS3 and PS5 graphics besides resolution. It's the same SHIT.
>>737916456No the strongest element is the RPG gameplay
>>737903231ds3 was always that bad, you were just too young and inexperienced to realize it. the same is true for ds2, Des remake, all the souls games dlcs, elden ring and ds1's remaster.the franchise swapped it's target audience lost its soul.
>>737910086>forcing FromSoftware to also release the game for PS3 and Xbox 360That shit was initially never intended for next-gen according to interviews. Those dumbfucks at From simply screwed up and bit off more than they could chew.https://www.vg247.com/dark-souls-2-a-lesson-in-painfully-balanced-gameplay>"At this point no. We haven't discussed ... or we haven't made any decisions about next-gen. I think right now we want to concentrate on providing the game strictly on current-gen consoles as well as PC. We feel that with PS3 and Xbox 360 there's a lot of potential we weren't able to cover for the first Dark Souls, so we want to really capitalise on every aspect of current-gen consoles and get the game to players as soon as possible."
>>737903743you can't possibly be this dogshit at video games
>>737926750>Yui Tanimura mentionedThis is corpo speak lies, at this stage, Bandai Scamco had already fucked the development.The earliest information that came out confirmed that DaS2 was designed for PC.
>>737924303>RPG gameplayDark Souls has more action gameplay than "RPG gameplay". You are clueless.
>>737923732Why?
Who the fuck even played 3 after the disaster that was Dark Souls 2?
>>737930151>The earliest information that came out confirmed that DaS2 was designed for PC.Console was lead platform after initial stages of development.
>>737918134>>Walk past every enemy without getting punishedOnly Dark Souls 2 is designed to not allow this, in all other FromSoftware souls games you can run past enemies. What is your point exactly? This isn't about level design, this is enemy design.
>>737930260>Console was lead platform after initial stages of development.Nope.
>DS3 trailer drops>"All will be revealed">nothing is revealed, even more questionsI'm still mad
>>737903821>immediately starts thinking about trans cocksI think you should stop using internet for a while
>>737923514Yeah that's it, Gwyn, and later his children and his cult, don't want to let the Age of Fire fade, and continue linking the fire and causing the dark to stagnate and corrupt.
>>737916456Sekiro is the driest most boring shit on earth, it's a one and done game, super overrated. If you're impressed by its combat you must not have played as single action game in your lifeBloodborne is cool but massively carried by its atmosphere, the RPG elements are downgraded, you don't even have starting classes with different equipment, magic sucks ass, basically zero build variety, so many weapons are locked away too far into the game, which is also made worse by the mostly linear progression, etc.
>>737912338Insanely fucking based post holy shit kek
The DaS2 Remaster has already arrived.
>>737909759Also add back ADP because it was good. Add map connecting firelink to lothric. Remove every third bonfire.Give enemies more pursue range so you can't just run by everything.Make runbacks longer by making shortcuts only accessible after beating boss or by removing bonfires next to them.Give bosses 50% more health.Here now you have best souls game
i cry everytime
>>737911527>the seath tracksThey still kinda had their DeS music touch back then, for some reason I've never liked anything past DS1 outside of majula and maybe a couple other ds2 songs. Nothing afterwards was very memorable to me except for the mist noble song in Sekirohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ccacj8YGByw
>>737933164>Sekiro is the driest most boring shit on earthDogshit taste, potentially filtered.>it's a one and done gameYep, definately filtered.>If you're impressed by its combat you must not have played as single action game in your lifeI've played the majority of Action games. Ninja Gaiden is peak of Action games, but don't change the subject now little dogshit filtered Dark Souls subhuman, we are comparing Sekiro to Dark Souls 1 combat and Sekiro humilates Dark Souls 1 combat, Bloodborne also humilates Dark Souls 1 combat.>Bloodborne is cool but massively carried by its atmosphereIt is carried by everything, because it is superior to Dark Souls 1 in everything except perhaps the non-linear interconnected closed-world design and its lore/thematic, both which are extremely good in Bloodborne, but I can see some prefering Dark Souls 1 over it in these elements.>the RPG elements are downgradedGood, RPG elements are for braindead cattle like you.>magic sucks ass, basically zero build varietyGood. Fuck your cheese and overpowered builds, this isn't Elden DOGSHIT Ring you son of a whore. God bless Bloodborne and especially SEKIRO.>so many weapons are locked away too far into the game, which is also made worse by the mostly linear progression, etc.Clueless and filtered.
>>737933562>Also add back ADP because it was good.Dark Souls 3 wasn't designed around ADP, it is outside the scope of a Remaster and more fitting for a Re-imagining/Remake or Dark Souls 4. My suggestions in that post are perfectly reasonable for a Remaster of Dark Souls 3.>Give bosses 50% more health.Good point, I also want this but forgot to mention it. A lot of the Dark Souls 3 bosses die too fast and should have their HP increased, but the percentage should be determined case by case for each boss. I remedy this mostly by just not upgrading my weapons, but being forced to ignore and not engage with a core mechanic of your game which was much better balanced in previous Dark Souls games, just to make Dark Souls 3 enjoyable seems like bad balancing and game design to me.The rest of your changes are also good, but again, outside the scope of a realistic remaster.

Install dark souls remastest mod to turn the shitty remaster into PTDEMod also makes DaS1 enjoyable with proper balancing and buffs to spells and miracles.

I will never forgive Niggerzaki for killing Bluepoint and preventing a Bloodborne remake.Sony would have gotten so many PS6 sales and gain but that faggot just killed them for no reason at all.
>>737934671I truly hate how they nerfed so many things in DaS2 and 3. It's one of the reasons Dark Souls 1 has become my favorite, when it didn't used to be. I love how everything just works, all three magic schools are fantastic, Faith is actually strong, shields are great, armor works and you can make an absolute tank of a character with heavy armor, but being a flippy man is just as fun thanks to the ninjaflip ring, and so on
>>737911762UUUU>>737912184It's Seinfeld syndrome.When Seinfeld came out, its "show about nothing" format and observational humour was revolutionary. Now everyone and their dog has done it, and it's nothing special to modern audiences.When Demon's Souls/Dark Souls went mainstream in the West, at the time, all we had to play was gritty brown and bloom shooters that would hold your hand through the whole game, through extremely linear levels, usually sci-fi or modern military. Story was force-fed to you too.A game with actual difficulty and challenge and nonlinear exploration and implicit storyline was a very new concept to the West. That's why it took off.And that's why everyone copied it, and that's why it no longer feels special.
>>737935469I don't see how they can't just reform under a new name
why did they jack the price of it up again?
>>737913712>I've never understood how people could have a hate boner for the game. Because it's an extremely shameless copy which blatantly does all the same things but worse, and does new things that are also worse.Uglier, lazier visuals. Ganky, nonsensical level design. Clichéd story full of random elements that feel like a group of B-team writers throwing random generic fantasy ideas together, instead of a cohesive whole.Forgettable music. Worse, floatier, slower, clunkier combat.>It has everything DS1 and Demon Souls establishedIf someone makes me a delicious birthday cake, sees that I like it, then makes a second cake but shits on it, technically Cake 2 has everything from Cake 1; but I still think Cake 2 is terrible.>more bosses, more weapons, and more zones.More filler, in other words.Cake 2 is bigger than Cake 1, but that's due to the increased percentage of breadcrumbs, sawdust, and human feces per 100 grams.
Are these the hardest bosses of each game?Demon - FlamelurkerDark 1 - ManusDark 2 - Fume KnightDark 3 - The Nameless King (have not played DLCs so there might be another)Blood - Orphan of KosElden - Malenia

>>737936064>flamelurkerjust, wear the flame res ring nigge
I fucking hate the Nameless King and his bullshit irregular delayed attacks. This actually made me not play DS3 DLC, because after I beat him after few days of struggle, my buddy told me "he was easy, the DLC bosses are way more bullshit than him". That was the last straw.

The game that made this series is Demon's Souls, not Dark Souls.>Bloodborne's combat is not that much better than Dark SoulsIt is.>and is massively hampered by the worse RPG elementsLess RPG elements made the game better.

YOU don't know this, the only two explenations are that you either never played Bloodborne or you suck so bad that you got filtered in the DLC zone when you tried this and you had to go back to the base game and LEVEL UP until you could handle the DLC zone by abusing the "rpg elements" which are nothing but garbage made for casual subhumans like yourself, no wonder you love "rpg elements", you want to use overpowered spells, magic and overlevel yourself and trivialize the game, instead of actually learning to play the game and mastering its mechanics, that is why you hate Sekiro and dislike Bloodborne, it is so obvious.Stay in your containment game, Elden DOGSHIT Ring, it was made for tourists, casuals, subhumans and posers.

>>737937313
>>737910589>DS2 le second half is so shitI am tired of this retarded meme. The only thing that really sucks is Lost Izalith as a zone/area in the game. The Crystal Cave area is a bit shit to to a lesser extent. The game opens up after the second bell and becomes quite open in how you go after the lord souls.Its my favorite game of all time but I would say it has other issues a remaster or remake could address that would have a far bigger or even better impact then this myth meme about the second half of the entire game being this abysmal thing when it is not true. A lot of qol improvements from later games for example would be quite welcome for DS1. I'm sure nobody would object to rolling being improved for example.
>>737937195>peak mental illnessEverything I said in that post is objective and factual, you claiming it is peak mental illness says more about you than me.

>>737930151Can't help but think that the director switch and the issues resulting out of it get greatly exaggerated.There probably never was any actual "playable" Shibuya open world DS2 or even attempt in any form or shape in the first place.All the old shit like the earliest mesh data already points to a generic DS1-esque interconnected level structure and it's all probably some bullshit like the "THE MASK HAD TO BE CHANGED DUE TO NABURO!!1!" crap that people keep parroting.

Which means either having enough Int to cast Light, or obtaining the Sunlight Maggot. Which means going through Lost Izalith or farming humanity, AND that only works if you chose the Old Witch's Ring for your starting gift.>Duke's ArchivesFilled with labyrinthian architecture and requires frequent lever usage, and also has tons of enemies that fire high-damage projectiles at you from a distance. Channelers also buff other enemies AND teleport away if you get too close. The siren alarm that sets the Pishaca on you also grates on your ears after a while.>Crystal CaveIt's pretty straightforward, but beware of Man-Eater Shells invading the boss.

Why is Bed of Chaos so fucking awful?>New LondoMostly fine, you just need enough Transient Curses to get through the upper city to drain the lower part.
>>737903743Everything after you finish Andor Londo is THAT part the game. The start of the game up through killing O&S is still gaming perfection though.
>>737937470Vgh the rightful Kings Field successor
>>737938295I actually remember everything after Anor Londo being super-easy. Maybe because I found myself an overpowered BK weapon.
>>737938093>Tomb of the Giants>Requires a handless light sourceI haven't played ds1 in forever, and when I did I had the path memorised so I didn't need light, but surely there was a torch weapon you could hold in your shield hand, wasn't there? Did prism stones give any light?
never really got into das 3 it was just bu tjust as rushed as 2 >>737903743that's because they are dungeon crawlers with servicable action gameplay so you play them methodically, it's kind of a shame the games became more action oriented as they went on and less about stats and mechanics
>>737938249it's really sad how elden ring made it completely obsolete
>>737938093The main issue with the Archive is the amount of established rules and mechanics it breaks>mandatory death (fuck off with your elevator glitch)>you can exit the fog gate during that encounter>you respawn at a bonfire you've never been before>you have to attack through bars that so far have been handled like solid wallsAnd IIRC there's also an archer that you can't reach on foot as pure melee fighter.
>>737938403Prism stones barely, and you still had to walk forward through the dark with enemies that ignore see perfectly. And if you go through a loading screen, and i think rest at a bonfire, then they disppear. but the torch weapon can only be the skull lantern
>>737938392If you didn't play during launch then post anor londo is going to be easy no matter what, especially with a BK weaponpre-patch your soul income was halved, including from bosses so you wouldn't be able to overlevel as easily, weapons did less damage, enemies were more beefy
>>737903740But why?
>>737938493someone should do Demon's Souls gank squad in there. On the island in Valley of Defilement with all the giants? that is fucking dreadful, and I think it's only for Stone of Ephemeral Eyes. Dark Souls 1 had the crabs in front of Seath or the hollows before Belfry Gargoyles. Did Elden Ring have any ganks? I can't remember any
>>737916503>headcannon garbage

>>737938403The only torch in the game is the Skull Lantern, which only shows light when held up, and when you're doing that you can't attack. So if you use that you have to essentially fight in the dark, as if you didn't have the lantern in the first place.

It resulted in this unmemorable mesh that over-relied on nostalgia bait.
>>7379394231 has the lowest lows cocksucker
>>737939234>filtered by MargitMargit is incapable of filtering anyone, because he is an optional boss and not a roadblock like in previous Souls games.95% of Elden Ring is skippable dogshit because of the open-world design.Every open-world game is dogshit for casuals, subhumans and posers.

>>737930216Anyone who didn't play Dark Souls 2 perhaps?
People always criticize dark souls 3 with muh dark souls 1 references, that was never the problem to me. What always took me out of the game was that it felt like the “bonus album filled with mid b sides” compared to the actual album, that album being bloodborne. It feels like bloodborne material that didn’t make the cut in bloodborne. Throwing the dark souls references on top doesn’t really bother me, the actual heart and soul of dark souls 3 being failed ideas from bloodborne does

Now as time has gone on, so many people have started to call out Elden DOGSHIT Ring, something that nobody did during release, I was the only one who saw the flaws.I have already won, I will always win, because my taste is superior and I am a True Gamer.
>>737941334So why is it called a blobber?
>>737940269Never claimed it was the best looking zone, either way it's a such a short little segment and it STILL looks better than most DaS2 areas when you aren't using a shitty Demastered screenshot
>>737941396Not sure. Maybe because people used to hand draw maps on graph paper. So a blob of ink?
>>737940495>at it's core dark souls is a number go up rpgNope. It has more action elements than dogshit rpg number goes up elements.
>>737941441Like Etrian Odyssey?
>>737941590yes
>>737941692So do they have to be first person too?
>>737941726I'm no expert but I would say yes
>>737941396Because all of your party members go into one square like a blob.
>>737920051Correct take.
>>737933562>Make runbacks longer by making shortcuts only accessible after beating boss or by removing bonfires next to them.runbacks were removed for a reason most of the time, you are just going to beeline for the boss. and if you cant, it becomes mind-numbing tedium (seathe & nito runback) it also muddles boss difficulty, because then the devs have to take into consideration the runback when balancing the boss. runbacks are a cancer and i'm glad it got chemo'd from existence starting in ds3
>>737939920>>737939959It pisses me off a bit just how much they lied to us and released such a shittier looking version of Dark Souls. Had the game been up to the standard of the first or even slightly worse I could have forgiven it. But DS2 seems like such an anomaly compared to the rest of these games including Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. DS2 feels like a really cheap knockoff of a Souls game. What makes it even more sickening is that there was a beta that released for people to play and that actually looked better than the release game to. It also only had like 6 character classes. In a better world they would have delayed DS2 until the PS4 gen and at least tried to imiplement most of what they initially set up to do. DS2 should have probably had half the content it had and the parts that made it in fully fleshed out to perfection. They got too over ambitious for their own good.
i find it hilarious that shazamtrannies try (and fail) to make their shitposting less obvious with "sekiro good, all other from games bad" as if sekiro doesnt have:>bonfires everywhere, including just b4 boss rooms, eliminating runbacks entirely>enemies do long ass combos on you all the time (genichiro's floating passage, long-arm centipedes, lone shadows, etc) >linear map design with some levels being dead ends like in ds2 (hirata estate, fountaintop palace, senpou temple)
>>737934671Blame DSP

>>737940985I think Huntsman Cope was trying to go for a spookier vibe where as Darkroot had some beauty to it but either way you are still right since DS2 was a rushed shitmess of a game.

>>737938093>Requires a handless light source or else you're gonna get bonezoned by the beast skeletons in here.This is a skill issue, not a game design issue.The game gives you 4 fair choices: find a head light source, use magic, fight in the dark by remembering enemy locations and git gud, or use a hand light source and git gud.I loved Tomb of the Giants. The darkness mechanic was exciting.>Duke's Archives is filled with labyrinthian architectureAnd that's a good thing. Again, skill issue.Also it's not even that complicated. It's just 2 big rooms with 3 levels, a tower, and a spiral staircase dungeon.>and also has tons of enemies that fire high-damage projectiles at you from a distance. Channelers also buff other enemies AND teleport away if you get too closeYou're talking about challenges (good), not things that make the game supposedly bad.>Lost IzalithNobody is in disagreeance about this, anon already said it in his post. Preaching to the choir.
>>737903231it was always the ugliest Dark Souls gameeven as bad as Dark Souls 2 looked at least it had some colors I know 3 is intended to look the way it is because of the whole decaying ash thing but it still looks awfulI remember when Sekiro came out and breathing a sigh of relief cause it showed From could still make a beautiful colorful game and proved it even further with Elden Ring
>>737939227>They are eternal newfag normalfags who started with 2, likely on Xbox>They can't shit on DeS or DS1 because it has too much respect for being OG>They can't shit on Bloodborne because it's an objective masterpiece>As a result they picked DS3 to try and have something to feel better about their shit game, even though DS3 is better than 2 in every wayIt's like the most unpopular kid in the playground jumping at the chance to bully the new kid.
>>737940527All sequels recycle some degree of content and assets. Just look at Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.
>>737910086Bandai only handles publishing outside of Japan, doofus. They don't fund or have any control of the games.
>>737945174You are a fucking retard. Bandai Scamco owns the Dark Souls IP and they have damaged and raped every single Dark Souls game more than Sony ever did to Demon's Souls 6th archestone.
>>737903954hmyou're just a fag sounds likelike a normgroid or smthn
>>737943315>DS1 with DSfix is still the Souls game with the best looking armor, even more than Elden Ring.Right? I swear Dark Souls 1 still has the best looking materials of any game
i just beat slave knight gael and the soul of cinder today, feels pretty good brosof the ones I've played so far I would say DS1 > Elden Ring > DS3 > DS2trying to decide between Demon's Souls on an emulator or Sekiro next
>>737903231its 11 years old, what people expect?i was a kid when i played it, now my son is 2 and im 25still for such an old game looks ok, but man the UI aged like milk, you can tell it was designed for 720p not 4k
>>737935407I realised what a joke das3 is when I realised that the basic club you start with as deprived, infused with fire paired with a lightroll makes the entire game piss easy
>>737938493Dark souls 2 and 3 feel like tests for what elden ring became. Dark souls 1 was made with passion and then 2 and 3 were shat out for money and to test out the features in elden ring. All original fromsoft games are good but the sequels are awful
>>737903743>turn on lords of the fallen>start in a swamp>undead bandits with short swords as tutorial enemies>some big enemy in the cornerI just turned it off. It’s so tired at this point.
>>737938093Alright then I'll bite.>Tomb of the GiantsThese games always have gimmick type of zones where you kind of have to play in a way that isn't standard in the more normal areas or use things you normally wouldn't have to. I do not see what is wrong with having a pitch black cavern/catacombs like area in this game. Areas like this make the game feel a lot more unique or soulful to me. And yeah I used the word soulful who gives a fuck. Why should every place be like Undead Burg or Parish? Or the Painted World?>Duke's Archive This is a perfectly fine library area. I think the level design here is solid. Its not overly complex but its not awful. I like this area overall.>Crystal CaveThis I will admit is not a great area. It could have definitely been a lot better.>Lost Izalith You get no arguments from me on this one. A very disappointing area and it had the potential to be so much better or maybe even the best area in the game had From had maybe the time or foresight to plan out its level design much better.>New Londo Again who gives a fuck if you need transient curse. All areas should not play the exact same. Its cool as hell to me that those ghosts cannot be killed through normal means and can also be cheap and hit you through walls while you can't always hit them. Again it gives the game character, flavor.... SOUL
>>737946489Something gets tiresome once you have seen it for thousands of hours in multiple games but devs don't seem to get that
>>737903668This isnt your oprophagia blog
I've been playing souls games for 15 years now and I'm still not tired of them and I doubt I ever will be. Maybe it's autism.
>>737945613It's the benchmark against which all other Souls games are to be compared.It is, quite literally, the Dark Souls of Dark Souls.
now that the dust has settled on Elden Ring, From needs to quit fucking around with all this Souls bullshit and finally put out another King's Field game
>>737903743I've finished Elden Ring last year, decided to give it a try again and I got so much distracted collecting shit instead of progressing, I installed DS3 and I'm having a really good time because the game is more linear compared to Elden Ring

>>737909883They don't require skill either, retard.
idk, looks fine on my end
>>737950052>aggro every single enemy in the area without fighting them>SEE SEE SEE MY BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS BABY BOY ISN'T RETARDED, IT'S ACKSHUALLY EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS RETARDED!!!11!11!
>>737949815>>737950052This is shitty bait in a shitty thread but I'll bite.You have to be either playing like a gargantuan retard or running past absolutely everything to get that many dudes chasing you at once in both of these cases. Just hit the fuckers, they die in like 2 hits.As an unrelated aside, any video containing "a measured response" or similar phrases in the title is invariably made by one of the biggest, fattest, gayest, and most insufferable mongrels to ever disgrace the internet. Subject matter is irrelevant, it's always overlong prattling wank made by total fucking wankers. Hate that shit
I like how the spammer has been doing this for four years now and has yet to post a single Bloodborne webm.
>>737950232>aggro the whole level>it doesn't even matter because it's DS1, a glorified walking sim with the only gameplay being reading item descriptions If you're playing like a gargantuan retard running past everything you should be getting owned, because that's what it means to be an adventurer traversing dangerous and hostile locations.
>>737950613You stole the retarded "MUH HECKIN THINKIN LIKE AN ADVENTURERINO" talking point from Matthewmatosis, the man who eternally raped your ass.>>737950703>aggro every single enemy in the area without fighting them>SEE SEE SEE MY BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS BABY BOY ISN'T RETARDED, IT'S ACKSHUALLY EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS RETARDED!!!11!11!
>>737950613wooooww dooood
>>737903231ZAMN,........
>>737912184Good, normies can go latch on to the next popular thing and ruin it thenPeople are bored of these types of games because they play anything slightly resembling one instead of the few good ones, and they only did so because they were popularEat shit and die
