Fromsoft games are so fucking pretentious in atmosphere. You can tell they were designed by some athetistic edgelord that thinks dark fantasy is the coolest thing ever. The settings are always some ultra sickdark looking shit with an eclipse slapped in to rip off Berserk, all the enemies tend to be either bad Berserk ripoffs of stupid looking weird shit that's weird for the sake of being weird. I won't even get into the fucking sjw female character designs. It amazes me Miyazaki managed to scam so many gamers into being hyped for this overrated trash. Sekiro is more of the same, only difference is now instead of roll spam you just mash one button like a retard to parry all game, because fuck having an actual combat system like a real action game(devil may cry and ninja gaiden say hi).
Fromsoft games are so fucking pretentious in atmosphere...
Pretentious thread
>pretentious atmosphere
Lol stop forcing this shit meme, like holy shit haha.
>pretentious
Oh I know exactly what it means, do you? Ripping off Miura's work and not understanding it is pretentious as fucking shit. Oh man let's slap an eclipse in my game, it'll make it seem so dark and remind people of that fucked up scene in Berserk LOL
Let me know when Miyazaki has the balls to actually recreate the Eclipse in one of his games, complete with full on mindfuck demon shit and rape. Until then, he can fuck off.
this. sick of people sucking miyazaki's dick.
Git gud
Jerry get iPad.
It works though because the games always have a sense of humour despite the dreary atmosphere. Some examples of this are the messengers, item descriptions (like the pissy pants), messages that are stringed together in broken English, bloodstains which are inherently funny since you’re watching other people fuck up spectacularly, and plenty of off-the-wall dialogue. m.youtube.com
It’s so easy to talk about how grimdark Souls games are but what about the underlying sense of humor? Maybe it’s your fault for taking them so seriously OP. Lighten up.
>taking influence is now pretentious
Normies won't catch any of that shit anyway lol.
the mumbling virgin retard says on Yea Forums LUL
you know fuckall about game design, ugly little lonely creature
>You can tell they were designed by some athetistic edgelord
>athetistic edgelord
Imagine not being able to beat the ogre
This.
I haven't cringed this hard at an OP post in a long time.
this thread is pretentious, holy fuck
>I won't even get into the fucking sjw female character designs.
Is it because its bait and you have literally nothing to "get into"?
Yet I never see this come up in discussions, all Souls fans ever talk about are:
-the games being impossibly hard and how you need to GIT GUD
-waifu shit(which is funny because From games have some of the most sjw looking designs I've seen from a Japanese developer)
-acting overly amazed over how sickdark the settings are and over analyzing pieces of lore
just look a this edgy grimdark pretentious enemy
>the games being impossibly hard
Stopped reading there.
>sjw character designs
There has literally never been a black girl in a Fromsoft game apart from that one literally who pyromancer chick in DS2.
And Eileen in BB, if you count her voice actress being black extending to the character
>Bloodborne
>Atheistic
You're literally retarded if you can't see that Bloodborne's lore and plot read like something based on Alex Jones tier religiosity.
Ok how about the fact barely any women in Souls games ever show any skin? You have that spider bitch, and who else? The doll is completely covered up and so is Maria, the fire priestess or whatever she's called is also fully covered up. That Emma in Sekiro is fully covered up and Lady Butterfly is an old hag and also covered up. The Corrupted Monk qualifies as female but just barely, and is a 9 foot tall fucking monster and fully covered up. How come none of the women show skin in these games? Not a single slit dress showing some thigh, or miniskirts, or cleavage revealing tops, or anything. Emma would have been so much better if she had a much shorter and tighter kimono, like one of those miniskirt kimonos. The women all look like prudes.
Are people still falling for bait?
wtf does "sjw" design fucking mean
I've been on this website for over a decade and I visited Yea Forums today for the first time, is this what it's like?
really fuck off
Ok how come every fucking thread for Sekiro is either people crying about it being too damn hard, or fanboys raving about how it's soooooooo hard, and separates the boys from the men? The entire gimmick for From games is that they;re sickdark and hard as fuck, that's it.
it's this shit people say when they talk about trend fags who copy styles from toronto and la
maneater mildred
being a topless spider lady is prime sjw i guess
go away you were here yesterday
None of these women show skin, that's sjw design. Maria is dressed like a fucking man, you can't see her thighs or tits at all.
Is it THIS easy to farm (You)s now?
wow what a pruddish and asexual game
chill out on the waifu gacha games for a while mate
almost as pretentious as the sickdark perpetually nighttime with rain atmosphere of cyberpunk games
>maneater mildred
She's fucking fat. SJW design.
Stop falling for bait.
Yeah like one character, what about all the bitches covered up? Sekiro doesn't have a single sexy female design in the entire game.
>if the game isn't waifubait trash its sjw
way to be so stupid it over shadows OP's terrible post
Stop falling for bait.
>everything I don't like is bait
pretentious posts
Why the fuck would I buy a Japanese game if they're gonna cover the bitches up? If I wanted that I'd play western shit.
Sounds like you’ve only been browsing Reddit, that’ll make literally anything seem shit.
Stop defending sjw shit you fucking libtard.
ah yes you fell for my 4D chess i was in fact pretending to fall for the bait to bait you into getting mad at me for falling for bait hence making you the one falling for bait
Pretty sure people growing tentacles and turning into horrific beastly abortions IS some mind fuck demon and rape shit, sorry bloodborne wasn't edgy enough for you though
1. you don't detail what makes the atmosphere pretentious
2. you don't seem to have a firm grasp on what the word even means
3. there's nothing even wrong with being pretentious
>some athetistic edgelord that thinks dark fantasy is the coolest thing ever.

Sounds like the edgelord is you.
OP is a mentally ill tranny. Pack up.
filtered by the chained ogre
Bloodborne was softcore baby shit compared to the Eclipse in Berserk.
youtube.com
Miyazaki is too chickenshit to rip off Slan I noticed, gotta stick to those sjw female demon designs there
I beat DMC 3 on DMD mode using only Royal Guard, you think that gay ass ogre was a threat to me? I can parry all day long.
I hope netflix does a bloodborne or dark souls anime using the style from that castlevania anime
I hope they don't butcher the lore, like they did with that shit official comic.
Hahaja holy fuck, this should be a pasta. You win edgelord of the day, OP.
Cope. He probably threw you off the cliff after your second attempt and uninstalled the game like the short beta snoyboy that you are.
Man, aesthetics in BB are top tier.
You sure are one edgy little faglette, user.
I beat his fucking ass. I can parry all day. ALL DAY. Royal Guarding shit in dmc is more intense than sekiro parrying.
>t.never played.
you don't parry the ogre you fucking retard
Yeah well I did, so now what?
Nice try, DSP.
>Normies won't catch any of that shit anyway lol
>Berserk
How many fucking nu-males do you see with the Mark of the Sacrifice tattoed on their arm?
I'll tell you. It's quite a fucking bit
Berserk is söy repellent, mate.
you can't parry grabs. 50% of his moves are tracking grabs. you literally have never played.
*yawns* That shit is so slow compared to enemies in dmc.
this sounds exactly like someone writing bait
OP is gay
sickdark
op is right about the female designs though, barely any show any leg at all
nigger what
not gonna bother reading the thread but I'm glad you're crying big faggoty tears over something trivial here. the mcdonalds employees need a break from their usual fat retard screeching at them.
>Bloodborne's lore and plot read like something based on Alex Jones tier religiosity
kek. I love Alex Jones
And what would the games benefit from having more scantily clad women?
>He hates mashing buttons
>He praises button mash simulators
Wut?
OP is right btw, yall fuckin turds need to sit the fuck down and delete these dumb games once and for all
Dark Fantasy is the coolest shit though
>y'all
Go back.
>devil may cringe
>real combat system
>OP is right
Don't try to hide the fact that you're samefagging.
Wow one woman, and she's borderline fat, come the fuck on dude
How would they not benefit? They'd be more pleasing to the eye. I wanna see women that look more like the kind of girls in korean mmos in these souls games. Or Fire Emblem at least, those are some good female designs.
name 1 example of good atmosphere
yeah if you're 14 and think noble heroic characters are "gay"
Legacy Of Kain
>WoWnigger is back
>I need porn in video games to enjoy them
how low is your IQ
dmc 5 has a better combat system than any Souls game, and requires the use of more buttons than Shitkiro. Better reflexes too, I love how people think being able to beat that lightning faggot in Sekiro is some test of reflexes lmao
Dear oh dear, what was it? The autism? The (You)s? Or the horrible meme? No matter, it always comes down to the OP's helper to clean up after these sorts of messes.
Tonight, Barneyfag joins the thread
Oh boy classic sjw response. Next you'll tell me to have sex, right? Yeah fuck sexy female characters, lets have them dress in burqas, and no sexy monster girls either, can't have that, Just gross hags and shit.
Bloodborne is the first thing on that list
That's pretty based.
You should have sex though.
Just say you don't like the style and move on. I don't particularly like fantasy settings with wood elves and pixies and shit but I'm not going to sit here and say that they're objectively bad, they're just not my cup of tea.
Are you implying Bloodborne isn't 10/10 atmosphere?
Yea, because it has stellar atmosphere.
>sickdark
HOLY SHIT YOU ARE BACK, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH, FUCK HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE THE PRE-RELEASE OF BB?
>zoomer space
no
How bout you post some figures to back that shit up, cuz I ain't seen a single fag with that tat and I can count on one hand the amount I've seen posted online for internet points.
I still need to finish it.
Any suggestions, Yea Forumsros?
Too bad the Lunarium doesn't actually look that kino in-game.
>Monster girls
Now that you mentioned that
Queelag is naked
Fair Lady is naked
Najka is naked
Mytha is naked
Dancer is wearing ass grabbing pants
Desert Witches.
He never replies to my anthro pony shitposts.
I think that particular scene of the Lunarium was from a trailer.
Dishonored
If you're going to put Thief there, you have no excuse not to
more people need to adopt the term sickdark, so it can be the official term used for from soft games
there's different kinds of dark though
- Dark Souls 1,2,3 = Helldark
- Bloodborne = Sickdark
- Sekiro = Dark
I have a feeling From's next game will cross over into the most disgusting category for this shit, which is Pukedark. If Miyazaki goes that route, he's gonna generate a ton of controversy. I don't think he has the balls to do it.
>SMT
Remove pls
What a waste of words.
Another quality nintard thread.
>it's another "Dark Souls is ripping off Berserk because Miura invented Dark Fantasy episode"
fuck off
Dancer isn't sexy though. It's like Miyazaki saw the sexy greater fiend bosses like Alma and Elizebet in Ninja Gaiden, and decided to make the unsexy freak version.
Also the NPC in DS2 that wears whatever you give her.
You might want to realize Barneyfag only replies to his own posts to shit up threads he doesn't like while pretending to be retarded.
Because ponies and anthros have no effect on me. I'm too perverted for that to scare me off. I jerked off to the demon bitch from Agony for fuck sakes.
congratulations, you've countered 1/6 of the qts user listed
I never said Miura invented dark fantasy you idiot. I said Miyazaki rips it off, which he clearly does. He just blatantly copies monster designs from Berserk and slaps them into his games, its so creatively bankrupt its sickening. I bet you if a western company did that people would be furious, imagine if Anthem was Bioware slapping in fucking Xenomorphs into the game
And guess what? It's just tidbits of artistic inspirations from Berserk, that you'll occasionally see in a few armour sets and one weapon in Souls. None of the lore and the world is in any way reminiscent of Berserk. Bloodborne has none at all, with the Hunter's mark was confirmed to be a reference to tarot card called the Hanged Man. That's about it in terms of Berserk influence. Söylent induced berserk fans should honestly just off themselves at this point .
From's games are full of cuties.

>OEDONED
>None of the lore and the world is in any way reminiscent of Berserk.
That explains why souls games are shit
It's this waifufagging WoWnigger. hes been going on for a few days now.
>no tits
>busted face
She looks like dmc 5 Trish as a tranny, wtf is that shit.
Ariana is pure.
>unsexy freak version
That's because that's literally what she is.
AND every DaS has a cavewoman who is essentially naked
Also the harpies if you are into some sick monster shit i know i would tap that ass
And those DaS2 plant ladies with bubbly butts
I dont know man, going through the whole fight while staring and hitting her ass was pretty arousing.
Though not wanting to sound like a pervert, but i agree the Souls (specifically the medieval ones) are a bit too prudish. Medieval and Greek era, which is mostly what the settings are based on, had so much sexual perverted since sex was one of mans biggest activities, and later used to control the population. Shit like succubus, semen being used for alchemy, so many sexual torture stuff and sex related monsters and the games feel a bit tame compared to it, specially DaS3. Not to say there isnt any (the satyr enemies literally rape your face) but i feel its a bit subdued.
Iosefka is best girl, desu.
Why is she so lewd?
nice saggy tits and manhands lol
here's a better design
>AND every DaS has a cavewoman who is essentially naked
>(the satyr enemies literally rape your face)
wait souls games have rape?
Jesus Christ, what is that face.
Looks like your typical twitch e-thot lmao.
Strong bait.
As a game, Bloodborne has coherent art design, from levels to music, from npcs to bosses. It fits the story and the lore perfectly.
Basically, it's designed by people more intelligent than you.
Because Miya likes his barefeet women.
Based.
Satyrs from DaS3, the grab move, its not explicit but Satyrs were known to be creatures of lust, add to that the animation and you can tell what is happening.
Man eater Mildred and her relatives which i dont remember the names.
Why?
I went back to school after dropping out 12 years ago and it blew me away how all this stuff about cyclical history and fires going out and shiet was actually in ancient greek philosophy. these games are deeper than you think
>everything has to be based off berserk or it's shit
the IQ on this genius right here
Also, have you been keeping up with Berserk? Because it's utter nonsensical garbage that will never finish.
Can someone give me a rundown on this barneyfag situation?
>I won't even get into the fucking sjw female character designs.
What? No, seriously, what?
face looks fine to me, also who cares look at those titties
>implying Miyazaki is more intelligent than me. Give me a game development team and I could make a better dark fantasy than he ever could, and I'd have the balls to go all out. I'm talking full on filthdark shit, with rape and lots of sexy women and everything. And DMC style gameplay, not that slow fake realism shit Souls games use. Sekiro's gameplay looks so boring due to how boring the combat is.
because you don't actually read the threads?
big tits are overrated and pleb tier, along with ass
Small tits and thighs are a patrician's choice
The doll and maria are completely covered up. So is Emma. You can't see their tits or their thighs, which is fucking bullshit. Why the fuck would a japanese game developer cover the women up, that isn't why people like japanese games.
I'd love to play a FromSoft game where you're a holy and righteous Paladin vanquishing the evil and degenerate; think Bloodborne but you're in clean and shining steel running through degenerate trannies (trash enemies), bankers (minibosses) and literal vampires from phobos (bosses)
>one guy used an eclipse once
>no one should EVER use a rare celestial event ever again.
Why wouldn't they be covered up?
t. never joined the league
>this logic
Why does it need to be an eclipse then? Why not something else? Only a hack can't think of something else to use.
So I can see their tits and thighs? Duh? I don't want this game being like Mortal Kombat where the developers cover the women up for some fake ass realism shit. Miyazaki needs to get some of those KMMO artists to design his female characters, so we can get some sexy women in his games. I wanna see cleavage, thighs, thigh high boots and stockings, etc.
>Why does it need to be an eclipse then?
Because fire and the sun are central to DaS you complete retard.
Gee, I dunno. Why would a Victorian themed game have women wear long skirts or a Sengoku themed game have a woman wearing a Kimono? Obviously it must be the SJWs, right?
Too bad. I just talked to Miyazaki-sensei and he told me it's going to be all shotas and traps from now on.
Go back to your Discord.
It's a sun bleeding fire. It signifies the end of the age of fire.
Have more buzzwords ever been used per sentence in a single post?
Serious question.
That sounds too optimistic of a setting for them.
You are trying way too hard.
Though i would love a science-fantasy ANIME game from FROM and Miyazaki, that very typical edgy plot with cute girls suffering.
I think Nioh might be more up your speed.
the souls series is truly the gift that keeps on giving
NPC tier response, as expected from a 70 IQ WoWnigger.
Then have a volcanic eruption with fumes that block out the sun. Done.
I see tons of KMMOs with victorian or feudal japan/asian settings that have women decked out in thongs, thigh highs, huge tits, etc. So why can't Souls games have that?
more covered up women for fuck sakes
this is better, but could do with some cleavage too
>Then have a volcanic eruption with fumes that block out the sun.
That's dumb. You're dumb.
>KMMOs
Fuck off, subhuman MMO kike.
Who here WOOOO?
get a fucking life dude
>every game ever has to be loaded with fanservice
There's more than one way to make a game retard. Miyazaki prefers a more down-to-earth artistic approach than most japanese devs and there's nothing wrong with that.
covered up women are patrician and leave more to the mind
oh boy it's this thread again
says the guy defending shamelessly copying berserk cuz he cant think of anything else
say what you want, koreans know how to design sexy women
Maria is a cutie.
Miyazaki regularly talks about his love of berserk and how his games are heavily influenced by it...it's okay user, sometimes people are honest about their inspiration and everyone benefits.
Sorry Abdul Sharif, I disagree. Please don't chop off my head.
Maybe some of us don't want designs that remind us of sharia law?
Imagine thinking Berserk invented eclipses being a bad omen.
Fuck off MMO kike.
hey Nioh had a cute Maria too
yeah so I guess its ok if I rip off spiderman and make a character called arachnidman with the same powers who fights villains that look the same as the shit spiderman fights, just make sure I say I love spiderman and was inspired by it
brb gonna start making arachnidman
Based chained ogre
disappointing that team ninja the creators of doa, ripped of such a shit covered up female design
>associating medieval, gothic, and feudal japanese attire with sandniggers
if you aren't baiting I think you need to take a break from /pol/ for a while
no wait, let's hear him out, maybe less covered MMO girls are the way to go
Back to ResetEra you go.
please do not insult my wife in this manner
Here's a female character for you OP.
Atmosphere and pretentious is a contradiction. A pretentious work, by definition, has no substance and aesthetic. Things like Finnegans Wake or Infinite Jest are incapable of generating atmosphere because they are too up their own ass to do it.
Maybe you might not like the atmosphere it creates, but the fact there IS a definable aesthetic is objective proof of its artistic merit.
Those bitches are ugly, have no tits, and no curves. I want attractive asian waifus, like this
not that I blame you for not reading Finnegans Wake, but you're an idiot
Infinite Jest is the opposite of pretentious.
>american education
fuckin kek you mutts are subhumans

Dark souls 1 is literally one of the best atmospheric games you nerd

Half those games don't even have atmosphere. "Atmosphere" does not mean "anime", you fucking weeb faggot.
No he is simply a footfag.
there's exactly one game on that list that could even remotely be called anime
Cringe.
it would be much easier to just say you haven't played any of the games on that list, user
Why do you keep making these bait threads?
trying to force a meme
What the fuck would you have the seating be then you gigantic baiting faggot?
“I don’t like thing” threads are the worst
Please do so we can laugh at it faggot.
The difference between you and Miyazaki is that he proved he can make good games.
Maria is cute.
CUTE!
From games have some unflinchingly heroic characters though, it's just that the world they inhabit isn't very accommodating.
>what is shared meta canon
Fuck cute, where are her goddamn thighs?
you didn't. Just stop man. He grabs half the time. I bet you don't even know what he's weak to.
fire
Below her chest and above her knees.
>complains about the "sickdark pretentious" atmosphere
>goes onto praise and defend berserk
how did this bait go unnoticed?
Berserk is sickdark stuff done right though.
Who gets this anal raped over game design lel
bait all around. Most standard endings in these games have a heroic ending, it's not all sunshine and rainbows during the experience, and there is a sacrifice made, but they are no less heroic.
Based Jones
Why can't I see them then?
Because she's wearing clothes.
It's almost like people can have ideas that end up similar even though they don't pay attention to the other's idea. Who would have thought. Next you'll tell me that Skyrim is just Lord of The Rings.
So now you see the problem, right? Why is she wearing clothes that cover her thighs?
Because she has trousers on.
You're doing God's work user, keep it up.
yo you been playing Nier: Automata?
oh shut the fuck up, babby's first seinen manga is infinitely more edgier than anything in souls or bloodborne
grotesque and violent rape and demonic rape babies, along with all the hyper detailed gore? kek, it's trying too hard to for the shock value
Her design would be better with a short skirt.
Based and ogrepilled.

>So now you see the problem, right?
No.
>Why is she wearing clothes that cover her thighs?
For protection and/or comfort. Why do you wear clothes?
wrong it's jumping over the grab.
>taking influence
Miyazaki straight up rips off other media completely.
Soulsborne* games are pretentious because they're written by miyazaki. Sekiro has a straightforward story that wasn't written or controlled by that fucking hack of a "writer" miyazaki. He can't write for shit. Any more games fromsoft makes should exclude him from the writing process entirely. Sekiro combat, consistent story not written by miyazaki, with souls equipment variety, and online will be the pinnacle of action games when it happens.
well they're below her abodomen and above her knees, there's a lot between the chest and knees user.
Have sex
sekiro's plot was boring
yeah guess what
it is the coolest thing ever
>He got the bad ending
>consistent story not written by miyazaki
So that's why it was so forgettable. Nevermind then.
So OP's idea of atmosphere is titties?
Embarrassing
Damn dude. 2 cool 4 dark souls
Think what you want, at least the story made consistent sense. Most westerners don't like eastern settings. At least sekiro proves a logical story can happen as long as miyazaki isn't in control of the writing. Wandering around western architecture is fine but a consistent story across the souls games would've made each game better.
What a shit thread.
Shame on you, OP.
someone hasnt finished a fromsoft game
the guy who made berserk ripped off science, it made eclipses first. What a fucking hack, can't even come up with an original shit.
The story in Dark Souls is to go ring two bells, nigga.
cut out two and any references to two in three, and it's way more coherent. Not like super coherent, but it's halfway there.
This is what Yea Forums replies to these days? Jesus I gotta leave this place.
Mad as fuck, you'll never play the best fromsoft game pcmuck
No the whole thing across all three games he means.
Based.
I just wanna see what kinda bullshit he'll come up with since he's contradicting himself on every point, except the titties thing. But even then, it's true that not all games need them titties.
>All these idiots falling for copypasta
2 and 3 aren't canon; they're fan fiction.
I don't think that's true.
3 is canon, 2 isn't, aside from the few references 3 makes to 2 like the Ruin Sentinels and Vendrick
Yeah two really was the black sheep
Damn bro take a Xanax and chill, you aren't making me dislike the games so what are you even trying to accomplish? Just sounds like you can't git gud and are bitching
I think they wanted to do like a final fantasy thing and have small parallels without it connecting too much in any other way.
I hate niggas who say this shit, but literally unironically have sex.
Oh I've seen this before. I just wanna see how long the shitposter will go making points and contradicting them.
Nigger if i wanted hot bitches to make my pee pee hard i would "play" gacha shit or straight up watch porn, milk your boypussy before playing so you don't end up crying here like a literal massive virgin.
It would've been better if fromsoft did that. They can do no wrong still anyways
I think it's more they have yet to do wrong. They can, we'll see if they ever do.
This is bait from someone who hates from games and wants you to hate their fanbase.
What the fuck are you two cocksuckers talking about, das2 was utter shit.
yeah it is but it's fun seeing them make points and then go against their own points with contradictory points.
Castlevania 64
I'm dead serious.
I didn't say that it was good. I said fromsoft has yet to do wrong. I don't care that 2 got retconned out of the lore. It makes everything more coherent. That's why I said that.
I liked Curse of Darkness a lot. I didn't care at all for the Lords of Shadow games, so much so I never played Lords of Shadow 2, which actually looks more interesting than the first.
Im the first to think entertainment should have sex appeal and there's nothing wrong with attractive, curvy women in games - but it has to be somewhat tonally appropriate.
All From games are set centuries past usually in pretty dark and miserable settings. Having some npc with 30H tits on show isn't realistic to either time or place. Plus all characters have odd proportions for gameplay purposes with very long limbs and small heads.
I think Sekiro himself is actually decently proportioned. Isshin is tall as fuck though but his head isn't small, same with the Sculptor. They did proportions more realistic in Sekiro.
>sickdark
I remember you.
if you do then what's your opinion of him or them, as it may be more than one.
*improving Miura’s work
That fucking hack deserves to have his shit snagged anyways bitch
You could say the same thing about Miura ripping off Escher and Jeroen Bosch paintings
You're not getting an easy mode, shiteater. Git gud.
Oh trust me user, so do I.
I never got the appeal of DMC, you've got a set of moves that can kill your enemies perfectly well but then you've got a dozen more to do the exact same job but switching between them nets you a higher ranking.
It feels like an arcade game but with no one to compete with for high scores so what's the point?
