I hate this game. Moving is slow, fighting is slow, menus are slow, I don't know where to go, there is no map, no quest logs, I get killed easily, combat is baiting, step back, swing, repeat. I hate this game, I hate it I hate it.

Why did you even boot this game up?
>>
Yep it's shit.
"But! It's Hard". Cool, doesn't instantly make it fun. Tried 3 different times and always stopped a couple hours in, maybe I'll try 2 one day.
>>
>>12598718
That's the appeal. It's probably just not for you, maybe try something that isn't so vibe and atmosphere based.

>no map
There are multiple though.
>>
>>12598758
Its not even hard tho. Its just long and slow.

I, for one, as a Soulstard, have always loved Kings Field since day 1 no question about it I always cared about this series organically
>>
>>12598830
I don't know why people like you spam this meme so hard. This weird mentality that it's a bad thing to like something that came later on by the devs so you decide to look back at their older stuff and realize you fuck with it as well.

Is it some form of insecurity?

>>12598836
>Is it some form of insecurity?
The irony here is palatable
>>
>>12598847
Not really. I'm being genuine with my question, why is it weird that someone that would like dark souls would go check out Kings Field after all and realize they also like it?
>>
>>12598852
Because the games are nothing alike. Field doesn't even have rolling.
It's dishonest to "become" a fan after self-claimimg to be a Soulstard

For some reason I just really like the sound effect for swinging the sword. I can hear it in my head perfectly right now.
Also; hello, this is my wife.

This is the most psychotic form of thinking I think I've read on this board.
There is no standard body out there who makes judgments on who is and isn't allowed to like something based on something as arbitrary as chronology (in relation to either first played, release time, or both).
>>
>>12598858
>Because the games are nothing alike.
I disagree. At the very least the tones of the game are comparable and it has a similar vibe to just throwing you in the world and making you go figure out what to do next.

Also I find it odd that you're summing Souls up as 'rolling' or that you think you can't be a fan of multiple genres anyways. Would it shock you to know that I like Souls games AND first person dungeon crawlers ala this game and the more traditional SMT series?

As a Kingschad, I despise soulsbirnetrannies so mucb

>>12598718
I don't like the first one. The others are pretty interesting though. Less fun fighting things and more "I can't wait to see what's next or what neat thing I might find". At least that's why I always liked them. I'd rate The Ancient City higher but I always felt like it was slow to an unbearable degree despite not feeling the same about the others. This always surprised me cause it's the fourth one. I would figure it would be the smoothest. It's certainly the best looking.

I played this because I liked Dark Souls and it was fine and only takes like ten hours to beat.

This is retarded. Combat is only one element of why people like Souls, you might as well claim nobody can like Demon's Souls if they played Elden Ring first because the combat is so basic by comparison. At the end of the day, you're circle strafing dudes and exploring mysterious ruins, with very little in the way of narrative.

There has been a KF schizo on the loose for a while and it's probably the same schizo as some of the other /vr/ schizos and he probably made the OP and at least half the posts ITT
>>
>>12598718
Good god what a little fucking bitch you are. Nobody is forcing you to play a game you don't like.

I want to play these games one day but the combat is one thing that puts me off a bit. I'm sure I'd still have fun but I do wonder how a faster pace version of these games could look.

>moving is slow
There's a sprint button though
>menus are slow
I dont remember this
>I dont know where to go
thats the point, its called exploring and trial and error
>there is no map
the game world isn't huge, you dont need a map
>no quest logs
Good
>I get killed easily
It gets a lot easier once you find good gear and magic
>combat
This game isn't about combat, it's about exploration and using the right tools for the job

You would hate Shadow Tower. Personally I love Kings Field but I cannot stand shadow tower, Kings Field is fine but Shadow Tower is everything you described turned to absolute maximum.

At least Kings Field (KF2 Jp) has a great map with interesting shortcuts and secrets. KF2 and Shadow Tower have really shit level design and its not worth the struggle.
>>
>>12600084
There is a map.

If you're going to make a serious answer to the anti KF schizo, at least do it right.
>>
>>12600089
i dont remember ever needing to use the map. The game has like 3 or 4 floors and the goal is just to get lower and lower until the dragon boss with the moonlight sword behind him. Its the most simple KF to navigate. Its nowhere near as confusing as Shadow Tower, even KF4 is more mazelike and thats a linear game.
>>
>>12598718
Played the first two recently, i somehow Stockholmed myself to 'kind of' like the first one, but overall they're not worth (re)visiting. They're full of dated ideas and plainly bad combat and everything. The jankiness is the selling point and it runs out fast.

Playstation 1 is full of good games that are actually still worth it today, KF is not one of them.
>>
KF2 is fun until you get to the part with the grey corridors with the sliding doors and halberd soldiers that deal seven gorillion damage per second and the fucking spike ball traps. god, fuck that area
>>
>>12598747
Well at least Pathologic is special
>>
Controversial opinion. I liked Shadow Abyss more.
>>
>>12601540
The different worlds in Abyss are really good so I can understand that. Plus it has guns.
>>
>>12598718
Well the best dungeon exploration game on the ps1 is megaman legends, thats where you went wrong
>>
>>12601412
For me it was the minecart section. Boy I loved getting sniped by arrows and immediately falling to my death when I had no option to dodge!
