Say what you want about Dark Souls 3, but the Ringed City is the most kino thing From Software has ever produced

Honestly besides the demon and gael i guess (even though hes just a crackheads ook) trc was shit and full of shit areas

THIS.

Atleast Ashes of Ariandel was short but good.

isn't that where you meet the girl with the orb egg thing that you touch and it zooms out and you're in the tower surrounded by ash?

I still don't get what the "sin of the old hunters" was. Or why was Maria butthurtingly laying around as a corpse waiting to kill random people trying to find out when she had deserted the hunters out of being disgusted by them to begin with.

So Kos (or some say Kosm) was flopping about in the ocean and got worshipped as a deity by the fishing village.

The church/hunters found out about this and wanted to study the effects of contact with a great one...by "violating" (read: slaughtering and experimenting on) the inhabitants of the fishing hamlet.

Kos, being pissed her followers are getting smoked, tries to step in, but Gehrman and Maria manage to kill Kos. With Kos' last breath she curses all the bloodthirsty hunters to damnation.

Maria is guilt-ridden from the whole ordeal, especially when it's discovered Kos had a child. It's implied Maria commits suicide, and because of Kos' curse she's trapped in the Hunter's Nightmare.

Maria guards the entrance to the fishing hamlet to prevent anyone else "violating" it and hurting the orphan, to atone.

Old Hunters is more kino.

There's not anything Fromsoft has ever made that has topped The Old Hunters in terms of being "kino". Although Japan Studio should have some of that honor as well.

>I still don't get what the "sin of the old hunters" was
Why? It's very clear. I'll give you a rundown.
A marine Great One's carcass, that of Mother Kos, was found in the fishing hamlet. It's explicitly states that it was teeming with parasites, which could be the cause of her death. A Byrgenwerth raid party was sent to investigate the hamlet, only to be confronted with a native population completely transformed into fishkin, likely due to Kos' body washing up on the shore and maybe even because of contracting her parasites. They discovered the carcass, found an unborn Great One within Kos, and killed it. This lead to a curse to be placed on all hunters, drunk with blood (Ludwig and the various Old Hunters around the early areas in the DLC), and all those involved directly in or by proxy in the Hamlet massacre (Laurence and Maria) to have their consciousness to be forever, perpetually tormented in a Nightmare Dreamscape. The curse still persists. In the DLC you uncover this truth that was kept under lock by Byrgewerth for all these years and you end the curse by killing the Orphan's consciousness. The curse was called upon by the Villagers, and this cursed was bestowed by Mother Kos. It cleared so much waters presented by the base game's narrative, and showed us how curses and Nightmares operate in BB's world.
