Poison shitholes...home.
>>743383329When DaSR released I specifically made a low-ish level Blighttown Darkwraith twink with a Worm Head and a Poison Great Club. I got so much fanmail, it was very rewarding. So many people were mad that I invaded in Blighttown -at all- and the rest hated how much a scumbag I was about it. Pretty fun spamming the little egghead worm bite attack to taunt people though.

>>743383904iirc I named him Filthy Thomas or something like that
>>743383329fuck off, jeet
Why did normies hate blighttown so much when all the areas under the beginning graveyard were way worse than that?
>>743383329bugchaser's internal monologue
>>743384613Because it ran badly on console. So it was a grueling area where the frame rates got shitty. This is forgotten in a DaSR/PtDE DSfix world but for the first few years Blighttown was like 25 FPS in some spots
What are some GOOD swamp levels?
>>743384613the Catacombs is an awesome level and doesn't suffer from the frame rate issues that Blighttown has. the Catacombs also has the Great Scythe which is the best weapon in the game (if you're a chad).

>>743383329I just replayed Bloodborne and think it's the best Fromsoft game in Story, Gameplay, and Aesthetics.Can someone hardsell me one why this is false and Dark Souls was their true Magnum Opus? I've never quite clicked with Dark Souls 1 despite finishing it at least once.I feel like Dark Souls 2 (I started with that) is all comfy vibes and cryptically delicious. Then Bloodborne made me feel like "Oh okay so that's what "Miyazaki" game is like" and then I played Dark Souls and went "meh, pretty good or something" and then Demon's Souls and I was like "kek that was actually really awesome."I never finished Sekiro because it feels like the mysterious vibe is replaced with something way more straightforward and I hate the asian aesthetic. But I'd kinda like to play Dark Souls again but not if its reknown is a lie. Dark Souls 3 was good but a little all over the place like 2, and not as impactful as Bloodborne at all. Elden Ring is great but I don't think I'll ever replay it due to the amount of padding that Open World map design ALWAYS causes.
>>743383329Blightown is a cool place. At the very least it's 10x better than the fucking poison swamp in DS3.

>>743387048>Can someone hardsell me one why this is false and Dark Souls was their true Magnum Opus?Jesus, anon. Objectively? There's no such thing unless you choose a few specific aspects. For example, Dark Souls had level design refined and less complicated mechanics. It's basically Demon Souls 1.5, but more importantly, it's where they struck success. That's it. It's my favorite, very zen-like combat these days, and slower, of course, just a nice and tight iconic package. Bloodborne, to me, was From elevating their formula to newer highs. They did it again with Sekiro, more recently. I love Elden Ring, it's my second favorite after DaS1, but it's nothing more than Dark Souls 4 Open World Crayola made for mass appeal. I put Bloodborne outside of this because I think that From will never be capable of reaching anything like that ever again. It's an outstanding accomplishment and it's like Miyazaki and co really took their time making sure the experience was something magical for like 95% of the time, which is saying a lot given how games get chopped here and there due to budgetary or time constraints.
