this series tries so hard to be have mysterious and dignified atmosphere it becomes a self parody >every NPC acts like a retard >overuse of the ebin orchestral music even in a hub area, it's just a place where you fucking level up yet the devs try to paint it as a thought provoking spiritual experience >lore is a bunch of fucking random bullshit slapped together, no one explained what exactly created the Ashen One, what's the difference between Deep and Dark, it's all a fever dream of some zipperhead
how buying bread looks like in normal games >select bread >you get bread >come again soon :) how buying bread looks like in From Software dimension >sad music plays in the background, the baker wants you to feel guilty because you're alive >select bread, it takes of 50% of your HP because it was actually a mimic >you wanted bread right Chosen One? But you didn't get it hehehe >press action on the NPC again >HEHEHE
I would say both DeS and DS1 have a good classic fantasy atmosphere. It was really only DS3 that was jerking itself off with Shakespearian NPCs and tragic boss fights.
Dark Souls 2 is way more pretentious than Dark Souls 3. “Or perhaps...” from several item descriptions used to be a meme here and Aldia’s dialogue is the definition of faux-deep writing.
Adam Parker
That shit was fine in DeS and DaS, it only really went way too far with DaS 2, and with 3 they completely stopped pretending they give a shit about anything other than gameplay

Omg a cringe thread. Say hi user, this is going to youtube

>The game with class A retards like Garl Vinland or Old Monk and the gimmick boss fights that literally started the "muh feels" meme >The game with Gwyn and all of his retarded offsprings like Gwyndolin or Priscilla, let alone absolute jobbers like Artorias or the usual "tragic and deep" characters like Gough or Cyaran >Not jerking off with shakesperean NPCs and tragic boss fights But of course DS3 has to be literally the devil
>how buying bread looks like in From Software dimension >>sad music plays in the background, the baker wants you to feel guilty because you're alive >>select bread, it takes of 50% of your HP because it was actually a mimic >>you wanted bread right Chosen One?

Pretty funny

Name ONE (1) game that makes use of A-class english theater VAs, and has the encapsulating, unique feels and tone of any souls game. Pro tip: you literally can't.
Keep hearing this and it keeps being true. DS1 = Melanchonic DS3 = Melodramatic
Asher Gutierrez
everything you said is true and more, and I fucking hate it
it's not deep to have your lore be contained in some ass backwards item descriptions, it's not deep at all, it's fucking stupid
Adrian James
I wish matthewmatosis drones would stop browsing Yea Forums
Hudson Davis
DS3 is not melodramatic, DS3 in general is a shitload more nihilistic than DS1, DS3 world makes DS1 look like a somewhat well-adjusted world
The world in DS3 is magnitudes more fucked than DS1 ever was o the point they bring previous sacrifices back to burn again, but they all just fuck off to watch the world end from their prefered caves. Everyone is dead or dying, giants demons and dragons are all on the way out, it's just ash, abominations created by the Pontiff, rot and people becoming trees
Lincoln Fisher
And that description does not sound melodramatic as fuck to you? It's way over the top, just imagine hearing the blaring choirs from the DS3 soundtrack crying over what you wrote. That's very DS3.
Jace Ramirez
while that may be true the issue here isnt the lore it self, but the way it is presented
Nicholas Kelly
It works for a game, it becomes tiring after 5 of them.
Luis Sullivan
It worked in bloodborne and they toned it down appropriately in sekiro. However i agree in demon and dark souls the "every npc speaks in riddles and cackles" meme is jarring. It doesn't make much lore sense.
Noah Edwards
> no doll
Elijah Foster
The way it's presented it's exactly like DS1, cryptic NPCs with weird laughs, ruined enviroments and nonsencial item decriptions. I know you really want to adhere to matthewmatosis opinions like the drone you are, but get your shit together
Here's a youtube comment on Gwyn's theme about DS1 comments. Read this with his theme playing in the background and tell me it's not melodramatic as shit. Almost like you can word enything to be melodramatic if you feel like it
What kind of dumb argument is that. Just because some redditor wrote some melodramatic shit about DS1 doesn't make it melodramatic.
You on the other hand >"DS3 is not melodramatic" >Describes it in the most melodramatic way possible
DS3 is melodramatic as all hell though, no matter what you write about it, don't get me wrong.
Jeremiah Garcia
What's wrong with melodramatic?
Matthew Bell
>orchestral music playing around every corner
Is there a better way to expose yourself as a fraud straight away?
Caleb Cooper
You have not yet made a single case why DS3 is melodramatic, you just keep repeating in the hopes I get magically convinced of that argument
If your argument is that DS3 is melodramatic because of how it presents the story and NPCs, DS1 did it the same
If your argument is because of the ideas and themes it presents, they are just natural evolutions from DS1 ideas
If your argument that DS3 is dramatic because everything is futile and nothing matters, it's literally the same thing in DS1
If you have anything else, I'd like to hear it, but I'm not expecting much from you
Chase Roberts
I fucking loved every dark souls game I would unironically love if they made dark souls 4, even if miyazaki didn't have jack shit to do with it. It's the only series I would treat like call of duty
Nobody qualified it, some people just see it as an attack on their favourite game, I suppose.
None of what you wrote is actually true lol Idk why you get mad over such a simple obeservation. It's your favourite game I get it, it's still over the top melodramatic >OCELOTTTEEEEE >BLARING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC
Isaac Anderson
almost every fucking NPC in DS3 is an edgy, overly verbose sad faggot. And the ones that don't are sapped directly from the first game.
>Solaire, Siegmeyer, Oswald, Rickert, Laurentius, Petrus all better than their DS3 counterparts
Gabriel Thompson
>None of what you wrote is actually true lol You're welcome to make a rebutall. I know you won't though
Also >sad music while fighting a doggo using his master's old sword at his grave >he limps at low HP to make you extra sad
Thomas Jenkins
would you prefer if they played dubstep over it or what you fucking retard
Carson Allen
>sad music while fighting a doggo using his master's old sword at his grave >he limps at low HP to make you extra sad That's an incredibly subtle detail that many people don't even see though. Based retard making my point.
Lucas Williams
Game seems pretty straightforward to me, you must be a brainlet.
Caleb Gonzalez
Noticed you didn't try to rebutt the previous points, and the fact you're trying to pretend the very obvious limp is not melodramatic as shit tells me you know you got proven wrong hardcore, so now you're doing the whole "I'll just act retard so people will think I was trolling all along" meme. This is my last (You), thanks for playing
Would someone like you even know that you were having sex?
Christian Thomas
based but I still prefer new IPs
Jeremiah Hall
ok matthewmatosis
John Sanchez
>lore is a bunch of random bullshit slapped together that i have to use my brain to imagine and figure out >lore is in 20 full text books in the game that you have to read and will tell you explicitly what happened and why of course the autists want the latter
