DS1 was a fluke. FROM are hacks.

What would a Dark Souls mmo look like?

>>15008425

Don't meme things into reality anon.

>>15008317

Shadow Tower and Kings Field 2 would like to have a talk with you.

DaS3 would have been as good as one if not for the horrible decisions they made with the armor making it little more than fashion. Every time I think about playing it again I can't help but remember how little the armor matter curbing my interest.

Bloodborne was good tho

>>15008481

And locked behind a jew device so who cares.

>>15008481

>Dark Souls but with less stuff and terrible visuals

woah

>>15008298

We have bloodborne

The entire series has never been anything but trash tbh, there is no properly made good version because all of the base parts are also trash. Good video games are a meme.

>>15008469

They tried to replicate Bloodborne, but failed.

At least in that game it made sense, because all armor was just different pieces of clothing that offer almost no protection.

The faster combat and preference for DEX build is also a sign of that bloodborne influence.

>>15008455

>we have a chance to make this series into an even greater cancer

I wish for Dark Souls to be a MMO. It would be 100% bad.

>>15008606

>nuX meme

Die.

Souls is the worst fucking game series. The games themselves are okay, but even pokemon has a less insufferable fanbase.

>>15008486

>Anyone who expects me to pay them for work they did is a Jew

>>15008558

Perfect game. Meet me in the chalice dungeons

>best souls games are the ones tied to sony drm machine

Why does From Soft only achieve perfection when Sony is involved?

Dark Souls was the best game of the series. Prove me wrong

Protip: You can't

DeS and DaS were great despite having a lot of problems. They had no reason to improve them once they became memes as reddit would buy them anyway. And boy oh boy did they ever. DaS3 was massively more successful than DaS1, like by an order of magnitude, despite being shit.

>>15008777

Wasted trips. Demon souls and ds2sotfs were imo best souls. Please prove me wrong in arena against muh longsword in all the other ones

>>15008797

I remember there was this one ultra-left faggot who made a video showing how DS2 is the best version. Then someone made a video showing piece by piece, word by word how he basically lied and manipulated through the entire thing to make his point.

>>15008811

i just remember it being a normalfag meme "le ds is hard haha am i rite bois xdddd". DS is cancer and anyone liking it should kill themselves. Might as well play life is strange.

>>15008797

>tfw you fuck up and forget the 2

Dark Souls 2 was indeed the superior game.

>>15008811

>The Souls series is the most mediocre yet hyped up trash heap I've ever played.

I see you've never played TES beyond Morrowind and Fallout.

>>15008804

Sotfs only. Im also at the republican convention right now lol. Im also talking about balance, versatility, hit register (to an extent we have a couple shit regs too), and general playability. Ds3 doesnt even have hallowing, its not even a souls game.

>>15008298

>Dark Souls 2 is literally unfinished because of feature creep

Wasn't Dark Souls 2 made from the remains of an entirely different game someone else fucked up?

>>15008804

Sotfs only. Im also at the republican convention right now lol. Im also talking about balance, versatility, hit register (to an extent we have a couple shit regs too), and general playability. Ds3 doesnt even have hallowing, its not even a souls game.

>>15008862

Sorry for the doublenigger

>>15008852

Yes. Despite all the shit Tanimura got for DaS 2, it wasn't even his fault. He was given a half-assed, unfinished game more than halfway through development, and was told to make it work. You can even see it in the interviews. Dude knows he is in hot shit.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are the most cohesive games in the series. I just mean that they had the most thought and care put into them, even if it is true that they're lacking in some places or were ultimately unfinished. Dark Souls II is a botched abortion and Dark Souls III is technically impressive but it is obvious that the game was hastily pasted together after Sony removed their dicks from Fromsoft's assholes so they could make a multiplatform title.

I've been following this Souls hype since the beginning but I've never played any of the games. One thing I remember is that the Demon's Souls fanboys were kind of disappointed in Dark Souls when it came out. Somehow over the years people have kind of forgotten Demon's Souls while Dark Souls has turned into a huge phenomenon that everyone loves.

Then that youtube paddy Matthewmatosis made a video called The Lost Soul Arts of Demon's Souls and it kind of explains why someone might prefer Demon's Souls over the rest of the series. To put it shortly, the series started as something different but then the sequels got progressively more generic and took less risks. I guess that's the fate of all game series. Hell, even Call of Duty was once something new and different with its iron sights and regen health. Kind of funny to think about it now.

Partnering with FROM was Namco's biggest mistake.

>>15008955

Partnering with Bamco was From's biggest mistake.

>>15008852

>entirely different game

I think it was Dark Souls 2 but whatever they had wasn't working so they had to restart.

>>15008961

Nah Bamco's a good publisher overall. It's just that Dork Soles is a dogshit franchise that tarnished their name.

How the fuck you can improve Dark Souls gameplay?

>>15008995

Bloodborne is about as good as it can get

>>15008944

>uploads an hour and a half analysis video

>then uploads SEVEN response videos around the same length

The amount of autism here astounds me.

This reminds me of that one guy who did that 8 hour long analysis video of that one game. I don't remember which one though.

>>15009004

Didn't played Bloodborne because isn't and don't plan to own PS3 because fuck you prices

Okay, then how you can improve Bloodborne gameplay?

>>15008987

>Namco's a good publisher overall

<The same company that made free to play Tekken

<The same company that made free to play Soul Calibur

<The same company that made free to play Ace Combat

<The same company that put out a remaster of a 6 year old game that itself could've just been a patch for the original

I disagree.

>>15008987

>Japanese publishers

>Good

They are all cancer to be honest.

>>15009036

>free to play Ace Combat

They're never making something as atrocious as Infinity or AH ever again.

You'd have to be delusional to think it's a bad publisher compared to the shit we're getting from western ones.

It's hilarious how hard DMC and MH fags get triggered over dark souls aping on their turf.

>>15009016

There isn't much you can really do for Bloodborne because of its setting. The only thing that can be added on is hunter tools

and that just depends on how creative they are with the ayylmaos. Adjusting the rally mechanic is a start, its supposed to promote aggressive play but with the faster weapons it simplifies every fight to R! spam.

>>15009061

>Dark Souls is not a good game

>Therefore there are no good games

>>15009061

>>15009089

there are no good games to these poor souls, they're depressed and burned out on the medium as a whole so they can't actually enjoy games, they just complain about them

>>15008728

You're paying Sony dipshit. They don't work for shit they just expect royalties because they force devs to make exclusives.

>>15009021

It's half a good game. Everything up to and including O&S is fantastic.

Then you just do a Kiln skip and have a good game with a shitty final boss.

>>15008741

The remaster is actually an upgrade on console while its a downgrade on pc. Funny how that works right?

I was thinking of buying DaS 1 remastered since I never did the Das 1 DLC

Is it worth it?

>>15009168

>/v/ideogames is one human entity

Nigger doth thou absolutely need to?

>>15008670

I remember when Dark Souls first came out seeing an anon try to convince people that it was an educational game.

>>15009397

2 had the best encounter design out of the whole series, though the world and visual design sucked, at least until the dlc.

>>15009021

Far Cry isn't a good game either

>>15009444

Encounter design as in in enemy placement or bosses? Either way, I disagree on both. I also didn't care for the DLC save for Shulva, which did stand out.

>>15008995

Nioh did it, and way more tactical and varied.

>>15009471

mostly bosses. dark souls 1 and 3 both had too many gimmick bosses that acted more like interactive cutscenes than actual fights.

the whole tired "too many humanoid bosses" argument is retarded because humanoid bosses are what suits the combat system the best.

>>15009658

You think that's the only contradiction in his shit? There's an entire video serious full of him contradicting himself.

The game is solid afterwards to. Fags who think the game took a nosedive are just parroting.

>>15009741

The less you know the better.

>>15009741

Links here >>15008944 Some turbo-autist made a video breaking down point by point how hbomberguy lies and manipulates people in his darksouls 2 video

>>15009731

I wouldn't say it took a nosedive, but Crystal Cave, Demon Ruins, and Lost Izalith are complete trash and reek of last minute bullshit. New Londo, Catacombs, Duke's Archives, and Tomb of the Giants are breddy gud, though (as well as the DLC areas).

>>15009833

dubs of truth here

>>15009833

>but Crystal Cave, Demon Ruins, and Lost Izalith are complete trash and reek of last minute bullshit.

Crystal Caves are perfectly fine outside of the 1 blue titanite slab that's annoying to get to. Otherwise the invisible platforms actually made the stones useful and were decent additions. Demon Ruins are fine outside of recycled enemies (which are used pretty fairly) and Lost Izalith is just fucked because of the boss and the demon legs. The actual map design in all of them though aren't anything terrible and are still fun to traverse. The problem with the second half of the game was the fact that you could warp just about anywhere and that it's less linear so the bosses had to remain equally as difficult. Which didn't help since you wre likely getting powerful enough to the point where everything after the first boss in the second half of the game felt easier rather than harder. The levels themselves though are pretty solid and well build. The player's just usually to powerful to feel like they are.

>>15009838

I listened to it in the background while doing something. Something about hearing a really obnoxious smug soyboy state his point as smugly as possible then get fucking shredded over and over again was amusing. Especially when he used his own quotes like "citation needed" against him. There was 1 point in the video where HBomber had a Freudian slip, and this guy used it to basically lay out how leftists brains function in 1 sentence. It basically went something like this

>And there you have it. It's not that dark souls 2 is better, but that dark souls 2 does dark souls 1 better, because dark souls 1 is the enemy in this video

>>15009731

lol

yeah the reason i get past O&S and lose all motivation to keep going is because of parroting

not because half the areas are basically empty and you can just run to the boss

not because the gimmicks range from irredeemable trash to frustrating

not because the bosses get so fucking piss easy you can just shove your face in their ass and mash r1 to win

not because the remaining nonempty areas are just the same one or two enemies spammed around

but because of parroting

>>15009833

>New Londo,

Ghosts are a shit enemy to deal with and transient curses are a dumb gimmick. Darkwraiths are fun to fight but you always just fight them one at a time in a place with plenty of room to maneuver, which gets pretty repetitive.

>Catacombs

That's pre-O&S.

>Duke's Archives

Yeah, this is probably the best of the second half. All of the enemies are just copy/pasted from other parts in the game (crystal hollows are normal hollows with a single extra attack and higher stats) and it has a few dumb level design moments, but it's definitely passable. It's only slightly worse than most of the areas in the first half.

>Tomb of the Giants

Poor visibility is a shitty gimmick that died out on the snes for a fucking reason. The skeleton beasts are just completely retarded and borderline impossible to win against for certain builds. Still probably the second best Lordvessel area. Noticeably worse than the first half, but it's tolerable aside from the fucking large divine ember room. It's such a shame the bossfight is just a bit nonthreatening humanoid with a single dangerous attack and a bunch of respawning minions that aren't even relevant to the fight because all his non-dangerous attacks kill them in one hit while.

>(as well as the DLC areas).

Royal woods is only good the first time you play through it. The second time through you're fully aware it's filled with slow boring-to-fight enemies that cannot ever threaten you if you keep up a walking pace, so you just walk straight to Artorias.

The rest of it is pretty rad though, I'll give you that. Also has excellent bossfights unlike the rest of the Lordvessel areas.

>>15009930

>in one hit while

god dammit

meant to write "While they either deal fuck-all damage or completely miss you. It's such a shame they wasted such a cool visual design on such a shit boss."

>itt

>>15009930

>Catacombs

>That's pre-O&S.

>Tomb of the Giants

Why would you go to the catacombs and not visit tomb of the giants? I thought you got through the Catacombs to get to the Tomb. haven't played the game in years

>>15009991

1) Early family mask

2) Pinwheel's a piss easy boss that drops a lot of souls

3) You're playing a faith build and want to unlock the better miracle trainer

4) You're playing a faith build so the bonus damage vs skeletons that a divine weapon gets makes skeletons less threatening than anything in Depths or Blighttown.

Technically you do visit the very very start of the Tomb to do number 3, but it's the part you have access to before you get the Lordvessel.

>>15009838

You know I laughed so hard when I started reading this manga and in the very beginning this shit showed up? I was like "wow, so is this where's from"? The hilarious thing is that it really does make sense in context is not even a edit.

>>15008890

I'm not saying the games are bad. I'm saying that for every good thing there is, there's another bad thing holding it back. And the remaster literally looks and functions worse than the original DaS1 with DSfix, a texture pack, and that online connectivity mod.

>Demon's Souls is missing content due to deadlines

>Everything else was finished and well made

Imagine being this retarded.

>>15010500

Well aren't (You) a special little snowflake of clearly superior taste. :^)

>>15008298

We already did. It's called Nioh

>>15010515

This but unironically, yes.

>>15010444

It's not a sequence break. Faith builds are meant to go there after Capra. It's why they have the clerics show up in Firelink and talk about kindling and the catacombs.

>>15009658

>>15009539

dunno who that is. it's just a waste of a combat system to pull shit like the ancient dragon or the deacons, or the tree or yhorm. they're not really fights. you just perform the intended action without any challenge and the fight ends.

>>15010531

I can't agree with the idea that Faith builds are meant to go there after Capra. It dead ends into Tomb of the Giants, which requires the Lordvessel to progress through, and Faith builds won't have access to Skull Lantern, Cast Light sorceries, or the Sunlight Maggot to light the area up. It doesn't make gameplay sense to go there, and it thematically makes sense to go there only if you're Way of White and following after Rhea.

>>15011004

>and Faith builds won't have access to Skull Lantern

Unless it drops off the Necromancers they just killed, or they brave the dark for all of three enemies and get kicked by Patches into the hole with the fucking skull lantern.

>>15010443

I can imagine it's a lot more finished since how little there was to actually finish. Bloodborne is just Dark Souls: One Playstyle Edition.

>>15008425

Just take Wizardry Online and replace the toned down Dynasty Warriors combat and replace it with Souls Combat. There done.

>>15011087

>I've never played Bloodborne

>>15008298

Dark souls 3 was good

Tons of weapon and build variety kept it fresh for a long time. Actually functioning and semi-balanced PvP (at least compared to all other souls games) and the best invasion mechanics. The main thing I dont like about DS3 is >>15008469, ie destroying the functionality of poise and making heavy armor mostly pointless.

>>15008830

Nah. You have to wait for devs to crack Denuvo per-game. When a console gets jailbroken and game pirating stuff is figured out it generally applies to all of them, or at least most. Plus the actual hacks are open source.

>>15009187

They maintain the framework the game is sold on, and nobody says you have to make a game for any system. It's about what you think is worth the tradeoffs.

>>15009868

>crystal cave

You don't need the pathfinder stones. You can also see the falling snow stop when it hits the invisible platforms.

>>15009930

>ghosts

I must be the only person who enjoys New Londo Ruins. It's partly the atmosphere of the area but I actually like the enemy gimmick too, similar to the ones you can encounter in Doom when an Arch-Vile resurrects a crushed monster.

>catacombs

You can (and I do) go through part of that early for the dad mask and other goodies, but it's definitely intended to be after O&S.

>>15010444

This is legitimately doable. It's not like for example, the camera glitch you can do to access Sen's Fortress early.

>>15011484

with all magic being basically useless and armor being fashion only, i'd say it had the worst build variety of all 3 games.

Bloodborne > DS3 > DS1 > DS2

Never played Demon's Souls.

>>15008317

>FROM are hacks.

You Soulsfags are really annoying pieces of shit, you know that? They have a long line of great games from before the Souls series.

>>15011487

>They maintain the framework the game is sold on

Barely. And even then it's still not an excuse to publish their product exclusively.

>It's about what you think is worth the tradeoffs.

The price of a console for 1 game is not worth the trade off. And neither is bowing to exclusives, which is a kike made concept.

>You don't need the pathfinder stones

I know, but it' still worth mentoring that you're provided them for the more difficult portions of the area in the preceding area.

>>15010520

>555-COME-ON-NOW

Nioh did more good to games far more than Soulsborne as a genre, just like Ninja Gaiden before it bu essentialy having the team give their own version of what DMC combat should be via their NG glasses. It wasn't before Souls autists that they toned the game down and removed some of its fun. It was one thing to not be able to juggle Onis in a corner but not being able to juggle humans and be fast as lightning with your movement is shameful at this point and I can only hope a Nioh2 can give us that back.

>>15011484

>Tons of weapon and build variety kept it fresh for a long time.

Magic was literally useless because of how poorly implemented it was. Everyone just used quality or chaos builds with straight swords or katanas,

>>15014307

>But the second hidden wall is just complete and utter bullshit.

By that point you should be savvy enough to realize that hidden walls are everywhere in the game. Besides that the reward you get for going past the first hidden wall is pretty cheap. So it serves as a hint that there might be more. Also the Great hollow and Ash Lake are completely optional areas. God help you if you can't warp back though.

>>15014307

Going through blind, I discovered the second one on accident because my method of mimic checking is to heavy swing my zweihander

The player made message saying there's another illusory wall appeared right after I popped it

>>15008890

>5% of the game is less than stellar

the whole game after anor londor is one long drop in quality

>>15014356

It was more of a gradual decline than anything. And the DLC made up for it.

So if I want to ever finish playing the first game, should I continue my old save or pirate the remaster? Last time I played the original I have up on the poison area, because it was killing for using DSfix.

>>15014497

Is well-hidden secret optional areas 'botched level design?' It's supposed to be a something you don't find on your first playthrough.

>>15014307

>If you do your mimic check like any sane person, which is just observing the chest if it breathes or not

mimic checking is using your weapon to hit shit anon

>>15014690

most people don't know this, but using alluring skulls is also a way to mimic check and obtain the item in it without starting a fight. hell not even I knew about it at first, but why would I pass up farming souls and a chance at getting the symbol of avarice

>>15014497

Faggot, I figured out the Great Hollow without help. It's just a matter of knowing where a hidden wall might be and spending the effort of hitting it. I assumed that if there was 1 hidden wall in an area there might be more.

>>15014456

Surely some nigger can answer my question?

Also any opinions of Nioh? It is 80 gigs, the damn thing.

>>15014838

Yes it is you dumb nigger. Maybe you're autistic and spending 30 seconds staring at every chest you look at, but I've spent hours doing co-op and every host I've seen mimic checks by hitting it with their weapon.

>>15014821

If you're not going to be playing online then it truly doesn't matter. The only reason to get the remaster would be if you wanted to experience the game with a once again bustling online community.

>>15014922

A bustling online community filled with hackers that can delete your save and ban you from multiplayer.

>>15014922

But I heard it has some quality of life fixes and it runs at 60 fps by itself.

>>15014883

Just because everyone acts retarded doesn't mean you should too.

By the way, who the fuck deleted my posts?

>>15009168

All of this shitposting has the intent of subverting the board's general opinions. Of course Dark Souls isn't a bad game, but you replied to obvious bait anyways. This is why we shouldn't tolerate unpopular opinions threads here.

>>15014937

Actually I'm smarter than either of you because I check by looking at the chain rather than staring autistically to see if it moves.

>who the fuck deleted my posts?

I'll give you a hint; he's a fat kike who loves cake.

His posts were dumb but didn't deserve to be deleted Mark.

>>15014924

Only a problem for the PC Master Race :^)

>>15014934

>quality of life fixes

Really minor shit. Off the top of my head, they added a bonfire next to a blacksmith that you can warp to, you can select how many of an item you'd like to use (souls, humanity) and you can select how many of a covenant item you want to offer when doing covenant stuff.

Not worth it even to pirate, DSfix is really easy to install.

>>15014957

>DSfix is really easy to install.

But running the game at 60fps on DSfix causes some glitches like the ladder shit and especially poison killing you a lot faster. The later being why I stopped playing.

>>15014957

>Not worth it even to pirate, DSfix is really easy to install.

DSFix does not fix PC controls, no amount of mods fix PC controls for Prepare to Die edition. The remaster has perfectly usable PC controls.

>>15014934

You can select how many of an item stack you want to use or give to a covenant at once, rather than doing it one at a time. That's the quality of life fix.

>>15014957

> they added a bonfire next to a blacksmith that you can warp to

Can't warp to it.

>>15014999

Personally I spent over 600 hours playing with DSfix installed and never ran into the ladder glitch. The poison killing you faster it not something I knew about.

>>15015014

That's what controllers are for.

>>15015017

Yes you can. It's the catacombs bonfire in the warp list.

>>15015021

>That's what controllers are for.

I don't use controllers to play 3D games.

>>15015047

And then you come here to complain about not being able to play games meant to be played with controllers.

What a life.

>>15014999

>>15015014

It's true that the Remaster makes the game run at a solid 60 fps. This is really the only point in its favor, though, aside from the already mentioned and very minor quality of life changes and the marginal graphical improvements. There's no denying that DSFix can't truly run the game at a constant 60 fps, so the Remaster at least has this going for it. Aside from these things, the game is practically the same. Additionally, nobody ever points out how shit the anti-cheat is (whether you care or not, from a consumer's perspective, Namco fucked up by not making sure the script kiddies could fuck their game five ways from Sunday), or how the weapon matchmaking ruined multiplayer. Hell, even if you wanted to play with a larger userbase, well that dream has been thrown out the window, too, because the game's retention rate is shit. At launch, there were around 40k player concurrently, now there's around 5k if you're lucky.

It's definitely not worth the price point, even with the discount, and there's no reason that this game couldn't have been a patch for the PTDE.

>>15015063

True, it has too many unacceptable issues to have a price tag on it, which is why I pirated. I still prefer to play the game than not, I couldn't really play the PTD edition.

>>15015057

You are naive and I would destroy you any day.

>>15015063

>It's definitely not worth the price point, even with the discount, and there's no reason that this game couldn't have been a patch for the PTDE.

>implying I would buy it

>>15015073

Why couldn't you play PTDE?

>>15015084

Whether you would buy it or not is beyond the scope of this conversation, lad. What truly matters is whether or not the Remaster is worth your attention, and assuming you've played through the original game at least once and you do not care about multiplayer, then the answer is an emphatic, "No" and that does not account for how you acquire the game.

>>15015095

I said last time I played stopped, because poison was killing me extreme fast, because of DSfix and on its last version. So I have never finished it. And it is not like people don't replay games.

>Demon Ruins are fine outside of recycled enemies (which are used pretty fairly)

Objectively fucking wrong. Most of the game has tight level design with well placed enemies and ambushes made so that the wary can see them coming. Demon ruins, regardless of enemy reuse, was almost entirely a bunch of enemies just dropped out into wide open areas to block your path. In addition, the demon statues in the area are weak as fuck.

>was almost entirely a bunch of enemies just dropped out into wide open areas to block your path

They were also weak as fuck and only there to protect an optional item. You're literally just thinking of the lava pit after you kill ceaseless discharge. Which is 1 area out of the entirety of the rest. Which had decent original enemies like the centipedes.

>the demon statues in the area are weak as fuck.

Not if it's the first place you go after killing OnS. Unless it's not your first time playing and you've learned how to minmax.

>>15019482

He's also thinking of the capraspam on the way to the Demon Ruins, the statue spam on the stairs, the statue spam after firesage, etc.

>Not if it's the first place you go after killing OnS

nigga they got zero poise and ten hours of hitstun. you can mash r1 with a +0 dagger and they'll die eventually.

They have high defense stats. All that means is that they take three times as many hits to kill as regular hollows.

>Dark Souls Remastered is literally a downgrade from modded DaS1

>falling through floors isn't a flaw its a feature

>getting rid of it and making the game stable at 60fps is a bad thing

>using multiple items at once is also a bad thing

so much butthurt over getting a discount and an improved base game.

>>15027296

The "remaster" introduced a bunch of new bugs though, and all "remasters" should be free anyway, so no a "discount" is bullshit. No one should pay $20 for a patch to get features that should have been in the port from day one.

>>15027352

anon $20 is like $2 when you adjust for inflation. Stop being poor :^)

>He's also thinking of the capraspam on the way to the Demon Ruins, the statue spam on the stairs, the statue spam after firesage, etc.

The Statue's were original enemies to the game if I recall. And while they weren't hard I don't recall them being a BAD aspect of that region.

>nigga they got zero poise and ten hours of hitstun. you can mash r1 with a +0 dagger and they'll die eventually. Sure. But so do a lot of the enemies before OnS. Like the thieves or undead in lower undead burg. Or the Flame spitting giant moths in the Swamp. You act like those types are exclusive to the early migame or something. They even exist post game as the Crystal Giants before meeting the Crystal Caves or the Skeletons in the Catacombs. Granted most of these enemies can't be killed extremely easily by a lvl 0 dagger but neither can the demon statues.

Morrowind is a very bad game. There's so many things wrong with it I'll have to write an article.

I still don't know how DS3 is so popular.

>shortest game

>bonfires out the ass

>filled to the brim with shitty references

>massive amounts of on-disc cut content that were sold as DLC

>rehashed areas in an already short game

>the worst, newbie/scrub favoring invasion system yet

>heavy armor sucks

>armor variety is less than DS2 BASE game, despite copypasting a 3rd of the armors from previous games

>magic needs 2-3 ring slots just to dish out melee level damage

>magic itself does reduced damage for PvP

>removes a shit ton of spells from the previous game

>awful scaling balance

>FP is the most awful casting management system introduced yet (worse than DeS mana, which had better regen options and more efficient)

>FP horribly ineffiecent with damage, ends up causing everyone to use 1 or 2 FP efficient spell like Great Heavy Soul Arrow

>Yes goy, pay for my patch. $20? What do you need $40 for? $60 is a fair price to pay for a patch to a 7 year old game!

Bloodborne is probably the more solid post-DS game. It only has an ember of the great level design of DS, with a reduced reliance on fast travel compared to shit like DS3 which was just a warpfest, which is what really carried it past DS2/3. The combat is refreshing for what it is. Magic is still ez mode and the way the combat incentivizes aggression really sticks with you.

They dropped the ball with Chalice dungeons though. They should have been more intertwined with the game. Something similar to gravelording would have been amazing, where you can start a chalice dungeon that plagues other peoples' worlds and they have to invade your chalice dungeon and kill you. From loves to reuse shit all the time so I am really, really surprised they just flat out abandoned gravelording when it could have fit so perfect in memeborne.

Also a fuck tonne of shit was cut from bloodborne.

>>15008425

You know Mabinogi?

Take the general structure of that with limited long distance travel options, chalice dungeons in set locations, an overall quest which would 'reset' your character without completely resetting your stats at the end, and magic pillars/mirrors/gravestones/whatever to lead into instances or boss fights.

>>15028629

You forgot the abysmal mid-game:

>Farron Keep

>Catacombs of Carthus

>Smouldering Lake

>Irithyll

>Irithyll Dungeon

>Profaned Capital

>Anor Londo

Everything after Cathedral of the Deep but prior to the Dancer (the bulk of the game) is pure trash. Chalice dungeon tier level design, nonsensical level transitions, references out the ass, gimmick bosses and unfinished content. The rest of the game is very nicely structured around Lothric Castle and it's surroundings but it's blighted by the poor mid-game offerings.

>she

The person in that pic isn't a tranny, it's a crossdresser.

I just realized I skipped the Medir boss fight in the Ringed city DLC

time to beat DaS3 again just to do that boss

>>15029377

Farron Keep is the worst

I can let smouldering lake slide since it's optional, catacombs was mediocre though

I thought irithyll was good. Irithyll dungeon was bad though

>Souls lore

>post about something based purely on facts present in the games and dev interviews

<That's ridiculous, nobody would believe that.

>post about the author's fanfic about every other female character being Gwynevere, Velka, Priscilla, or Izalith, based solely on vague item descriptions and made up bullshit

<Oh my God, now it all makes sense!

I have come to despise this shit. "Deepest lore" was a mistake.

>>15012068

Dwarf Fort, X-com and really any 90s autismo simulation game.

>>15031609

>muh lore is bad

This is propagated by new-fags who don't remember why lorefags like Vaati are hated.

Vaati and other "deepest lore" youtubers went to several discussion boards and ripped the research others have done word by word qouting others.

They're despised for being reddit levels of content stealing passing it off as their own.

Having world building done through items, spells and npc's is something that has existed since the beginning of RPG's.

>>15031971

>boohoo, an e-celeb stole muh fanfiction!

Let me guess, it was something about Rosaria being Gwynevere or Priscilla being Yorshka, right? No, wait, it was probably the Old Iron King putting Alonne's soul into the Smelter Demon, and the Lost Sinner being Eigyl and an Eleum Loyce priestess at the same time.

Seriously, which retarded fanfic of yours was the one you got pissed off about Vaati "stealing", exactly?

>>15031919

Nice job barely reading the post you tard.

>>15032073

Hi Vaati, kill yourself.

>>15032088

Nice job sucking at videogames. Souls games are not and have never been hard to anyone with half a goddamn brain.

>>15032099

I got it, it was Aldia being Seathe and the dragon you get the Ashen Mist Heart from. You know, Aldia, the guy who only appeared in a few item descriptions that implied fucking nothing beyond him being a mad scientist. You know, Seathe, the dragon whose "soul" is dropped from a fucking spider of all things. You know, that one dragon that drops, not Aldia's soul, but a fucking GIANT soul.

That was the crackpot theory he "stole". If there was any one good thing to come out of Super Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the Lost Levels, it's that they threw Aldia in as an actual NPC to discredit that retarded fanfic.
