If it's so bad, why is it still so active?

DS1 was unfinished, had lots of shit bosses, and the worst online experience
DS2 was, well, we've discusssed that more than enough
DS3 has the best bosses, runs at 60 FPS, the tightest hit boxes, the best multiplayer, and was actually finished
Yes, it has plenty of issues, like how you can tell the devs were running out of ideas, but it's still the best overall.

DS3 has better gameplay but DS1 is still the superior single-player experience

except for that fact it's ugly as sin

DS4 will be the Battlefield 4 of Souls games.

Wrong

Go kill yourself freak.

Makes me wonder why multiplayer melee games are always like Chivalry and Mordhau, and not like Souls pvp, considering how active it is and has been. I think with tweaks an polish you could have a game based around just the PvP combat where you make your own builds and shit.

i know you're obviously trolling but have a refuting (you) anyway

is this the part where you start posting cut content pretending the game was stitched together

sorry my archaic idioms based in religion offended your communist sensibilities sweetie

maybe if you weren't such a pink gilled faggot you'd have an eye for beauty and could appreciate ds1

It's babby's first Souls game for many people. It sold more than its predecessors, do you think they're all coming from DeS, DaS, and BB?

Does on pc, no idea why you would use anything else. BB is the exception because it forces you to have ps4

Because it has the best pvp, pve, and build variety

Never forget

We're not talking about DS2 user

fpbp
only nostalgiababies claim DS1 is better in any sort of way

DS3 is better looking, gameplay is much smoother, story is mastered and isn't just some mish mash of random fantasy elements that lead nowhere, and the mechanics have been expanded so much it's barely not the same game anymore

I'm not saying ds2 looks good, since even des and das 1 tried to actually work with the limited engines at the time and they did some great stuff with it. But in those pictures they literally picked good areas and took aesthetic photos of them in those games and literally compared them with the 2 worst textures in das2, das2 has some decent areas like drangleic castle and dragon aerie or whatever it's called.

Ugly ass game. Glad I don't have to look at it anymore. Everytime I think about going back to play it, I remember how it looks like overly saturated textures on everything.

>Ugly ass game.
>Garbage mod support.
>No power stance.

Very overrated/10

>haha look if we remove all the fancy effects and fuck up the contrast it looks like shit and nothing like the concepts!
what is this picture even trying to say

>pvp
no, concessions made for "muh pvp balancing" ruined the pve in that game, poise in ds1 might have been broken in pvp, but it literally allowed the player to make a proper tank build in pve, which none of the other from games come close to doing.
build variety is another outright false bit of info especially with the increased speed and generous stamina and equip load, you can fast role easily with some of the heavier armours in that game, hell, none of the starting classes even fat role, not even the knight in plate fucking arnour, compare that with ds1 and des.
as for pvp, I don't much care for souls pvpv so can't answer to that, but what I hear is that straight swords rule them all in that game.

>No power stance
Power stancing is a better concept than dual weapons, but dual weapons are better executed in DS3

Because the devs in those games care about multiplayer balance.

Because 1000000000000 faggots play it it's still shit played by shitty people.

Soulsborne is shit
Demon souls is shit
Dark souls is shit
Dark souls 2 is shit
Dark souls 3 is shit
Bloodborne is shit
Sekiro is shit
Cuck vein is shit
Any future games will be shit

Pic related this is how i feel about cuck souls.

ds2 tried that, but arenafaggotry is flat and boring unless you have autism. the pve is a huge part of the appeal.

I never used power stance in ds2 but I liked that I can dual wield any two weapons and have their full one handed moveset in the off hand.
ds3 just went with the "block with that shitty small dagger you're holding instead of attack with it"

>GIVE ME ATTENTION
ok

Poise was not nerfed for the sake of pvp, it was nerfed because Miyazaki hates passive play and always wants you to be on the offensive. It's why the plank shield in BB has the description it does. It's why AC4 is built around dodging.

it's not bad Yea Forums is just retarded lol

mostly by virtue of being the most recent souls game that happens to have decent PvP that's not only playable on one console
also DaS1 Remastered killed what little online community DaS1 had left too

>because Miyazaki hates passive play and always wants you to be on the offensive.
if this is true then he should have never used the stamina system since it's inherently methodical and slow, even in a game like bloodborne where he pumps up the regen, you still have to wait for it to regen when you run out.

He only got the aggressive play right with sekiro.

Because he wants to make it so that if you make too many mistakes you die.

I don't see it on that list, do you?

that's a retarded argument and it literally doesn't answer anything, lots of previous games with action combat never used a stamina system, relied on skill and punished mistakes.

Dodging a lot is a mistake

>and was actually finished
lmao

Dropped. Americans can't make a good action rpg without autism.

ok, sekiro has no stamina, try dodging a lot in that and see if you aren't punished.

my point is, the stamina system was not to be used if he really intended aggressive play, that's an oxymoron since stamina is slow and methodical, no matter how fast the regen is, bloodborne proved that.

Because they're only in DS3.
But how stupid is it to have power stance & dual weapons, but only use the one. Really freaking stupid.

>last souls game
>not giving the player every combative option
Garbage.

I meant dual weapons in DS3 are better executed than power stancing in DS2 is.

Dual weapons have twice as big movesets, and moves that are actually worth using. In DS2 powerstanced attacks take so much stamina and have such a small increase in damage it's pretty much always better to just twohand your weapon.

Works fine for me.

Sun sword & long sword give a diverse move set as a pair. You can 1h or 2h either weapon or BTFO your target by catching them with a 1h light followed by a guaranteed power stance dual atk, then if they attempt to get away you only need 1 stamina to use a well timed heavy dual atk. No survivers.

if it was a fair comparison it wouldn't have gotten that (You)

why can i parry gwyn

why not

the battle kinda ended in a minute because i parried all his attacks really easily

kinda hoped the final boss would be immune to cheesing bullshit like that

it's subversion :)
