Only people who played Demon souls before Dark Souls was even announced are allowed in this thread

yeah. It's a great game but people who put it above souls 1 and Bloodborne are retarded

And then there's this raging faggot

For the improvements to the bonfire, interconnected world, and Estus system, Dark Souls 1 actively downgraded Demon's Souls combat in a number of ways. It's really a shame, because although the bonfire system is great, the poor quality combat, mechanics, and spotty level design keep it from greatness. Dark Souls 1 is easily the most influential in the series, but it arguably the most flawed.

I was on Yea Forums when it was fresh shit was so cash

>who praise its gimmick bosses
Do people praise them? I assume you mean the ones at the end of each 'level' other than Allant

>actively downgraded Demon's Souls combat in a number of ways
Really? Everything felt like an improvement to me. Demon's Souls combat was faster but fuck if the animations weren't jank.

DeS has the second best level design in the series after BB and the most "unique" mechanics. It was also before Pfats invaded souls threads and ruined them. I miss when From didn't fuck up gimmick bosses, yhorm is a far cry from the storm king

Was too late for the import, but the threads were comfy back when I played the localized version

>your preference bad
>my preference good
Just arrange yourself with the fact that people like different things.

Dark Souls 1 has absolutely worst-in-series movesets, it was slow, and had tons of garbage mechanics like whiff stutters, kick that does nothing, hit-stun increased by upgrade, poise, etc.
Just poise alone is enough to make the combat objectively worse.

Rented it on release day since the fags who imported it wouldn't shut up how great it was.

gee i wish it revives it self soon i need to go back to where it all started.

I prefer the gimmick bosses in DeS, I've beaten every souls game up to 3, but stopped with BB since I feel the games following (and even The Old Hunters) took the "HURR PRUPEAR 2 DIE XD" meme too seriously

No actually DS3 is the best, it's practically a remake of DS1, the ultimate culmination of everything the studio learned from game dev over the years.

Demon's Souls is actually the game that made me buy a PS3.

What? Bloodborne has way less of that than Souls 2 or 3

Retard it's the second worse game it souless

Dark Souls = Bloodborne > Demon's Souls = Sekiro > Dark Souls III > Dark Souls II

BB is pretty easy once you learn how to play I started a new game today and steamrolled cleric beast, gascoigne and bloodstarved beast all on the first try with the cane of all things.

I played Demon's Souls before Dark Souls

But I also played Dark Souls II before Dark Souls

I played it first but fuck me if it actually counts since I stopped after 7 hours due to being retarded. I thought using the archstone to return to the Nexus worked the same as using the nexial binding, aka losing all souls, so I figured I couldn't level up unless I beat the boss. Ended up losing souls over and over and only managed to level with boss souls mostly. Also didn't want to upgrade my weapon in case I got something better. I'd gotten through 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, and most of the way through 2-2 and by the end I was SL6 with an unupgraded (probably broken) weapon. Put the game away for awhile after that.

I think it the other way round. There was a lot creativity involved in the Old Hunters. All of the bosses and locales were memorable, and the lore was very good.

>owning a ps3

It was more fun because it was a fresh experience.

I prefer the linear level structure in Demon's Souls. Although Dark Souls 1 had a LOT of quality of life improvements. For me, Demon's Souls has the fewest shitty areas. Every fucking dungeon and swamp in the Dark games are a fucking chore though.

Like Dark Souls 3, I can't understand how a game with such fun gameplay is zero fun to progress from boss to boss.

I miss regeneration builds. It was cheap, sure. Also being able to forge weapons that regenerate your mana while you are going through the level. Playing a mage was more fun.

Rented it in 2010, ended up buying and finishing it in 2011.
I remember having a friend in high school play through the first stage for me, because I was so bad at the time. And then another friend and I took turns attempting some of the first parts of the other levels.

i remember the demons souls threads like they were yesterday.

Despite what neo-soulsborne fans think, it wasn't all bitching about pure bladestone droprates. If anything, everyone was bitching about the scraping spear being flat out broken all the time and flamelurker generally being annoying because his phys and elemental resistances were too high.

lmao. you're a joke.

Hi Matthew

Fucking get good, mommy.

Say what you want about him, but he was right with that vid.

to this day i still don't remember how i was ever able to beat DeS. i mean, i was only able to beat DaS1, 2, 3 and BB by summoning help for every single boss fight. i even suck too much to beat sekiro now that i can't summon help. but DeS was the first souls games i played and i didn't even realise you could summon help, so i don't understand how i was able to finish the game. probably used loads of cheese mechanics

Sup
Bloodborne is best Soulsborne with DeS trailing close behind.

this obnoxious faggot poisoned the well of every Souls game discussion. Nobody is allowed to have any opinions anymore because based youtube man told everyone already how they should think.

I got this game because of a gamespot review unironically and a bunch of other stuff saying it was really hard, went to my local gamestop and bought the only copy they had and ended up enjoying it a lot. The hard factor and people saying it was hard did pull me in I'm not going to lie about that. I remember seeing early game footage of it and dismissing it entirely because it looked too western or medieval but I'm glad I still got it.

I agree with you, but Living Failures are great. Orphan of Kos is also alright with his rampant aggression, although I wish you could exploit it to make him do dumb shit and leave an opening for attacks.

In a lot of ways it's even more boring than 2. Dark Souls 3 tries so hard to be difficult, and yet it never actually feels dangerous or exciting. Knowing that every chest is just another mimic, knowing that every enemy and boss has the same exact dash attack and endless combo, knowing that every single corner or item at a dead end just has another weak trash enemy hiding behind it, it turns it's attempts at surprise into something that's uniformly piss easy and the most predictable entry in the franchise. It's like a tired underpaid employee at Disney's haunted mansion, jumping out to unenthusiastically shout, "Boo!".

early DeS scraping spear/meat clever rolling attack invasions were some of the most fun I had in gaming. The amount of rage I collected at 4-1 was immeasurable

Bloodborne>DS1>DS3>Demon's Souls>Sekiro>DS2

how can you say that when you put sekiro last

Wow, this is the shittiest, most incorrect, and totally wrong opinion I have ever seen.
I actually feel bad for you because you took the time to type out that trash.

That wasn't me

Newish-but-not-totally-new game good, new and old game bad

that's what happens when player fatigue kicks in and the developers feel beholden to catering to fan's expectations for the series.

There's no way to escape this cycle either. Remember what happened to the deus ex franchise when Invisible War came out, it was too radically different and the fans still hate it to this day.

me smug so right

Poise is just the quantification of something which already existed in binary in Demon's Souls. The key difference (for pvp) is that player poise cannot be modified. Casting pvp aside entirely, the fact people talk more about Player Poise rather than Poise damage/the poise of enemies shows why bad Souls players have so much trouble with the game. Poise damage is everything. Outside of bosses and giant enemies, you should always be aiming to break your enemy's poise with a hit. In Dark Souls you could see the poise damage of your weapon, and boost it with a ring. You might employ a longsword for one enemy, but pull out the greatsword for a larger one. When get to the boss whose poise can't be broken, you would probably go back to something smaller. Was this the same in Demon's Souls, where different weapons could stun different enemies? Or was it was more "this enemy can be stunned whereas this one can't with no distinguishing between weapons". It's been a long time since I played, and I mostly stuck to fast weapons like the Kilij (which I do remember being able to stun the big skeletons).

Either way, the poise of the player is nearly irrelevant for PVE because you want to be avoiding hits entirely.

I dropped it on the Maneaters and only came back after beating DS2

I kind of hate dark souls for memeifying demon's souls and making everyone forget what made this particular style of game so satisfying in the first place. Dark Souls also has alot more wikibait mechanics for absolutely no reason, and some terrible design choices like hiding the entire rest of the game behind tiny mansized doors making it easy to get stuck.

God no, each Dark Souls game is worse than the last one.

This guy knows his stuff.

back in the old days they had PS3 booths where you could play demos at gamestop or something. They would leave the game on the press start menu, but have a cinematic play intermittently to attract attention and advertise the game. It's a holdover from arcade days and the japanese love this kind of homage.

In 2009, I imported the Korean version of Demon's Souls because everyone was 100% sure the game would never come to the West.

When the American version got announced I bought that one too, since everyone was saying here would not be a separate European version.

When the European version was announced after all, I bought that one too, of course.

Not only did I buy the game three times, I actually went and got the platinum trophy for each of the three versions. What a fucking waste of time that was.

That’s what I figured. It doesn’t lend itself to sequels

The thing that was good about the gimmick bosses is they could be beaten by any build, which is good because a lot of levels (ie 4-2) did not have shortcuts, which meant the boss was simply another obstacle to be beaten and not SUPREME TEST OF SKILL!!!

Honestly the only faults Demon's Souls has are the world tendency and weapon upgrades. Fix those and it's a perfect game.

Over half of this isn't even soulsborne. And sekiro isn't a souls game at all.

I never tasted shit so I don't know how it tastes. Tell us more.

Its best moments are on par with DaS1's, but it doesn't have the lows that DaS1. In that way, it's just a more consistently good experience overall. The combat is much faster-paced compared to DaS1 - whether that's a good or a bad thing is really a matter of taste, but I personally felt it lended itself to making the gameplay feel smoother.

If I remember correctly the enemies mentioned in the post below yours were extremely resistant to all weapon damage types but piercing damage (that's cut, blunt, and normal). The elemental damage on your weps would help though.

executioners set is my favorite set in soulsborne games, right next to the Choir set in BB.

they need to bring back gender locked armor sets at some point.

>the game is literally older than you
imagine being a zoomer

yes, iirc there are phys damage variants like blunt and thrust and slash and skeles are weak to blunt damage.

Old Hunters is better than the entirety of base Bloodborne, you're missing out by not gitting gud

I think the enemy design was cultured to the unique weapon upgrade system in Demons Souls.

Every 3 levels the upgrade path may give the option to split in one or two others and you could make three to five types of one weapon. The latter upgrades are going to be stronger of course but the earlier branches won't be outclassed easily.

This system is so much better than having to nerf weapons through balance patches. Instead provide many paths of viable upgrades and have a few that are secretly broken good, but are hard to get to.

I haven't heard anyone say chromatic aberration in a while. Bloodborne has a lot of motion blur that gets to new players.

I agree with you it sounds stupid as hell

Imagine having shit taste.

I want to play something old by FromSoftware (something emulatable on Vita), which game should I try? I love lore and exploration the most in souls games.

I mostly agree with this. DeS, while still good, really lacks a lot of polish, mechanics, variety, and difficulty of later iterations. However, imo it still has the best atmosphere, and while bonfires are nice and allow for a more Metroidvania style world design, I did like the hub and level select style of DeS. World Tendency was fucking garbage though.

King's Field games were always janky low effort garbage that never managed to surpass games that came years before them like Ultima Underworld

I played it back then and had the wiki open the entire time.
I regret doing this so much and wish I could reset my memory of playing it so I could experience it all fresh for the first time..

I played and completed Demon's Souls when I was 11 or 12.
I had always played very easy games, put it on easy mode, but Demon's Souls just looked so cool to my child mind. I found out about if from a magazine with some headline like: "JAPANESE RPG MASTERPIECE FINALLY COMES TO THE WEST"
God that shit was hard, I cheesed False King Allant with some poison bullshit so he wouldn't even aggro.
Still one of the best in my opinion, there's something special about Demon's Souls that isn't present in the other games, which still makes it worth playing. For me:
Dark Souls = Bloodborne > Demon's Souls = Sekiro > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls 2 (haven't played Sotfs)

Its the fog. Funny because in Dark Souls 1 and ever since then, they forget to put the filter, but they keep using the same fog. It doesn't really fit.

I think in the Bloodborne Alpha they actually tried to change it. The fog walls were composed of ghost messengers, but in the end product they just used the Demons Souls fog again.

It looks terrible in Dark Souls too. Remember the Ornstein and Smough boss room entrance? The fog wall stops half way. But in Demons Souls False Idol boss room they already had a tall enough fog wall.

>all those posers going on how about how amazing dark souls is
>they never mention demons souls

The atmosphere of Demon's is in its own league. There was also that psychological effect the health bar had on you with it being cut off whenever you were hallow.

Some of the boss songs are really underwhelming, but in some cases does this "chamber music" really add to the desolate state of Boletaria and the loneliness of your character.

Nope I'm on the same boat. I'm fine with sekiro since it's pretty much its own thing but DS3's constant rollspam gameplay completely breaks my immersion. I'd just like to be a tanky clanky knight please.

It was my first and only souls game since I fucking hated it. Never looked back again. DeS had godly atmosphere though so I'll respect it for that.

For BB, the speed was liberating and fitting. DaS3 felt cheap in comparison though.

I live in the UK and I actually played Demon's Souls before it even released in my country by importing an American copy.

Demon's Souls is also very short, and only two levels + 1 boss per archstone really isn't much. Shrine of Storms or Latria are really cool ideas, but you only get a little bit of each thing.
A third level and maybe one more archstone (you could even keep one broken archstone for mystery's sake) would be just enough imo. Or just make the whole Old One's area into a world of its own with a couple levels, the visuals are really really cool and I don't think it'd break the lore too much to have a bit of an area before the old one

Based thread, I still look through the artbook every now and then.

Too bad I played it after dark souls (PC) because who the fuck wanted to own a console after the SNES without getting one for a massive discount if it only has 1 game.

Only bought it because I bought all atlus collectors editions then, ended up being one of my favorite games of all time.

I remember back in the day when people still streamed games through livestream.com there was a Yea Forums streamer with a fascination for the Claymore and he had fully upgraded versions of every single Claymore. Those were good times

I know I'm late but man they really shit the bed with neutering the movesets going from DeS to DaS

>when people still streamed games through livestream
dark, dark days

Good times

>lower panels
Yep, absolutely did that. Thought I was clever.

>bluepoint in charge of adding new shit instead of just improving the resolution and fps
They fucked up SotC so nah.

Oh wow the only other English speaker who's familiar with King's Field.

I have one sealed and a plain jane copy I play
I still need to import Goty Bloodborne though

The Japanese version right? Yea, that one has a MUCH better cover art than western GOTY edition.
