What's the /v/erdict on Dark Souls after 15 years?

>>744566250
Literally the worst fucking game ever made, ruined vidya completely and people can't stop sucking it off. It's even worse than FFXII.
>>
it fucking sucks donkey balls
>>
>>744566250
great game ignore the faggots above me
>>
>>744566250
Amazing game
>>
>>744566250
I was so hyped from this trailer alone. And even now, Dark Souls is the only game that delivered on that hype.
>>
>>744566360
At least it's not as bad as Half-Life 2.
>>
>>744566360
>XII
Why XII specifically?
>>
>>744566250
Stole the thunder from Demon's Souls because it wasn't a gated exclusive on a nogames machine with no emulation available for it at the time. The first game is more interesting and more consistent and it already established everything that's in Dark Souls anyway. The estus flasks system would have been a great improvement over grass but you get to a point where it makes more sense to eat attacks with poise and spam heal. The thing that it did well was the interconnected part of the first half but that alone isn't enough for it to be rated that much higher than DeS never mind the falloff in quality by the latter half
>>
>>744567090
Because FFXII is the worst fucking game ever made.
>>
>>744567276
because?
>>
>>744566360
I hope you donate your brain to science so we can learn more about this disorder
>>
>>744567297
>because
Because I've played it and I know what it feels like to play a game that is so bad it almost causes you to reject the medium as a whole and wish to genocide all the people who engage in it.
>>
>>744567425
That doesn't tell me why it's bad, just that you don't like it.
>>
>>744567486
As a rule, I dislike things that are bad, especially things that are so bad that they bring down the quality of a hobby as a whole simply by existing.
>>
>>744567521
That doesn't tell me why it's bad, just that you don't like it.

>the part where the game is bad doesn't tell me why it's bad
Ladies and gentlemen, behold the geniuses of 4channel.com\v\
>>
It's woke
>>
>>744566250
I still think its good. It could have been great but it really falls flat after Ornstein and Smough. Clearly a rushed game.
>>
>>744566250
opened the gate to normalfags and flooded the gaming community with PURE SHIT.
>>
>>744566250
Good game but it got normalfags into FromSoft which resulted in the Prepare to Die meme which resulted in their games no longer being rpgs
>>
>>744567608
What aspects make it bad? You're just saying it's bad because it's bad.
>>
>>744566250
I still confuse this image as Alma sexing (You) in Fear 2.
>>
>>744567718
this

>>744567709
My brother in heist, the definition of a game being bad makes it so that the game is by definition a bad game. What the fuck about this is so hard for your peanut sized brain to feature?
>>
>>744566250
I wish the later souls games were as comfy as Dark Souls 1 instead of devolving into a flanderized schizo rollslop mess.
>>
>>744567773
ok, but what aspects make it bad?
>>
>>744567773
NTA but I don't get why you troons keep posting on 4chan if you lose your shit and start to seethe schizophrenically at the mere sight of someone else's opinion? Calm down. Inb4 "I accept your concession"

The DLC was a huge mess. and created a ton of problems that exist to this day. It also fundamentally changed the community when they released it on PC first, inviting all kinds of shitters, tryhards, cheaters, and creatures like this >>744566360 who just refuse to interact intellectually and earnestly with a game.
This is around when we started seeing "OMG SO BROKEN" youtube farming with those oldfags like Peevepeeverson or whatever he's called.

The community became so sour with low IQ PC players that we can't even have shield design contests anymore. The games soon lost their Byronic soul.

HOLY SHIT THE PART WHERE IT IS BAD MAKES IT BAD

1 + 1 = 2

DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT I AM TYPING ONTO MY COMPUTER YES OR NO ANSWERS ONLY THANKS
>>
>>744567276
this nigger has never played Xenoblade 2
>>
>>744567852
I'm just asking what they don't like about the game and it's like they don't even know I guess. I give up lol.
>>
I liked the Dragon Lake a lot. In general, most situations with the dragons in-game were awesome and I love the Obsidian Greatsword.
>>
>>744567971
You've never even played the game have you?
>>
>>744568014
Nah, I just wanted to know what you didn't like about it is all. I have no stake in anything, so I don't know why you're getting so defensive over nothing.

Demon's was better but this is one's still pretty good.

Shame they stopped making Armored Core for a long time due to it though. You guys should check those out too.
>>
>>744566250
I'm still playing through it. It sure is superb. Great action game, especially when I'm coming from MH.
>>
>>744566250
Never played it. Still have no reasons to.
>>
Best girl

>>744566250
I wish the Remaster included all the cut content/ideas, like Quelaag being an actual NPC and convenant leader.
>>
i wish it had been more influential, especially on the soulslike genre.
>>
both good and overhyped
the whole "hardest game ever" hysteria was so stupid, if the game is SO hard why is every tom dick and pornstar beating it
its more that it is very learnable, starting skeletons going from minibosses to pushovers just because you didnt drop the game soon enough is a good feel that the usual more statcheck oriented rpgs wont have
>>
it was a great game, but you had to be there at release

Just like des, it's a good game. However since it's a good a game from 15 years ago, this makes gen Z's seethe cus they're so used to slurping shit

I'm old enough to remember the days when /v/ fucking LOVED and ADORED Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, once they became massive viral hits a couple years later everyone here did a total 180 and claimed they are bad games all of a sudden, I think it might have been around the time when Pewdiepie started playing Dark Souls.
