DS2 FAGS BTFO
"Elden Ring, developed by FromSoftware, Inc. and Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., is a fantasy action-RPG adventure set within a world created by Hidetaka Miyazaki—creator of the influential Dark Souls video game series; and George R.R. Martin—author of The New York Times best-selling fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Danger and discovery lurk around every corner in FromSoftware’s largest game to-date.

>most most most
And yet they all suck

Oh no... Dropped!

I like DS2, but do you really think that more equals better?

There was never an open world game I liked so From would have to do absolute magic for me to be interested in this.

wrong

Welp DS2 is at least better than Suckiro.

Miyazaki is a brand now, they'll say that he makes literally everything the studio releases. Kind of like Suda. I'm pretty sure co-director of Sekiro is the actual director of Sekiro

Damm that's gonna be good

from what i've heard it's not actually open world, just beyond the interconnectivity of Ds1

B-b-but I enjoyed DS2

true, but he says even though he's the CEO he enjoys directing games most. surely he actually directed one of these games. maybe he just "co-directed" both of them and he's been secretly doing bloodborne 2 for the PS5 release next year.

Holy fucking shit kys. Not only is DS2 easily the worst From game, it's also one of the worst games I've ever played period. I still seethe at the time and money I wasted on that crap.

Dark Souls is open world.

Bloodborne 2 isn't in development

What exactly does that mean? That there are just more stages?

Because what I liked most about recent From games, except most of Sekiro, were the levels. Restricting where the player can go allows you to build really neat and dense stages with surprises. Nothing bores me more than wandering around aimlessly through wide open areas. Ideally, I want each and every part of the stage to feal meaningful. Sekiro failed to do this probably because the player had too much mobility. The only area I liked was that one part of Fountainhead Palace that had the flute fags who drain your life. That was the only part in which I felt happy to get through because I couldn't just Yolo around but had to plan each step carefully.

I bet you haven't even finished it more than once. It's easily the most fun DS game for a veteran of the series.

>Not only is DS2 easily the worst From game
That title clearly belongs to Sekiro though.

That title actually belongs to Dark Souls 3.

Attached: Soulsrankings.jpg (2560x1440, 502K)

More options at any given time, ds1 you've got 8 or so areas accessible from the start, elden ring will be something like 12

Let's not turn this into a semantic dispute. What I mean is that I dislike games that have giant open areas like Witcher, or Farcry, or Minecraft, or Fart of the Wild, or No Man's Sky. I want stages where everything is purposefully placed, rather than something that could just as well be randomly generated.

no

Every time. Will you BB2 fags give it up already.

I have faith
DS2 could have been the best souls game with more development time and the original lighting before they had to downgrade for consoles

Wow that's really bad taste you got there. It actually goes like this: BB>DS3>DS1>DS>DS2>>>Sekiro

I have the platinum, it's a bad game. I only completed it because it was easy, and because at first I was shocked and deluded like you.

swap sekiro with ds2 and you've got yourself the perfect ranking

Dark Souls isn't open world, it's just a series of hallways with the world as a backdrop.

oh, so you're like those people that give "Not recommended" Steam reviews but have 1000+ hrs playtime

sekiro is great though, you're just a pleb.

It doesn't even take a quarter of that time to complete DSII.

be quiet retard

There is only one linear section of Dark Souls (Sen's Fortress and Anor Londo). It's open world.

But I liked DS2. It had the best PvP and viability of the craziest builds. DLC was great too.

Only criticism I can give it is most bosses were "Dude in heavy armor"

Attached: 1548704780415.jpg (587x740, 66K)

I doubt more time would've changed the at time utterly atrocious level design.

>viability of the craziest builds
That's because there's one moveset for each weapon type. They didn't even bother with the special R2 attacks.

nah you're just in the honeymoon phase because it is the most recent title. In three years, Sekiro will be somewhere at the buttom of your ranking as well, especially because it isn't very memorable and has no replayability.

The best thing about these From games were always the stages, and Sekiro has the worst stages...and boss fights and the most limited mechanics and variety...it's really the worst in every regard I can think of. I guess it has more enemy animations?

Forest of Fallen Giants, Lost Bastille, and all the DLCs have better level design than any level in DS1

>source:my ass

what else is new

You're right, I only finished it once. Why would I play it multiple times if I wound up hating it? I seriously doubt that other DS veterans share that same belief.
I'm currently playing through Sekiro and it's good.
DS3 was fantastic.

don't listen to these pc-fats dude. BB2 or whatever the gothic dark fantasy game will be called, is already in development since 1.5 years ago. Sony and Japan Studio exclusive

Lost bastille is literally enemy spam in small rooms: the level.
Forest is ok but looks nauseating.
The DLCs are full of filler and have some of the most generic enemies in the series, many of them use the same model as the player character.

BB is the worst Souls game. DaS2 is the best.

>DS2 has shit level desig-

fucking retard. DS2 had some other director first and he did such a bad job they had to drag tanimura in to help duct tape it together into something that works. the DLCs were tanimura's doing.

Just like real castles

baiting you into Belfry Sol was great level design, that's a fun PvP area

Uhhhh... no. It was Tanimura who fucked everything up and then they had to drag Miyazaki away from BB to salvage at least some of it. That's why parts of BB feel unfinished, he wasted his time on trying to fix DaS2 instead of finishing BB. All because of that incompetent scum Tanimura.

>b-but it's a leak!
oh yeah nice link bro lol

besides
>letting westerners influence your games
phew have fun with that garbo if true

Baiting you into belfry sol with organic and realistic level design or clever tricks would be good level design, doing it in such a lazy and ridiculous way isn't.

>I'm currently playing through Sekiro and it's good.
Hint: You can easily run from every encounter. There are no dead ends, or traps to stop you and even falling from cliffs will not immediately kill you. So regardless of how many enemies surrounded you, there is never a need to feel threatened or excited in the levels of Suckiro. There is only one exception to this in the entire game.
Hint 2: When you parry perfectly, your guard will never be broken. So if you don't feel like running, just parry endlessly and you cannot die without the need manage your resources. So once again no need to ever feel excited or threatened.
Hint 3: Most enemies are blind and deaf. So enjoy your """stealth""" gameplay where you break pots right next to them and they don't notice you. Some can see through walls though so look out for that.
Hint 4: If you want to completely easy mode the game, then just look up the animations of bosses on youtube. Then you can one-shot every boss because the game turns into a toddler-tier cakewalk.

Sekiro sucks.

The leak came directly from Bandai Nachos shitty website, deep down (you) know it's real

>DARK SOULS 2 2.0 INCOMING
I hope so. I would love to see a game with the ambition and scale of DS2 get the care and attention it deserves

And that's completely fine. Don't let retards tell you what to like.

seconded

It's not lazy. They show you a bonfire to tempt you and make you jump down, even though you can see the one-way ledge. It's a perfect metaphor for the greed of humanity, similar to the Patches scenes, but more subtle. DS2 is too deep for you I guess.

>That's why parts of BB feel unfinished,

The only way you can think this is if you just started playing games in 2014. Compared to most AAA garbage DaS2 is a good game.

Being better than 3 is a low bar, if I've ever seen one.

Actually excited.

Tanimura didn't really direct DaS2 though. He mainly just cleaned up the scraps from the previous director. The DaS2 DLCs were solely directed by Tanimura and they were fucking great.

What's wrong with Cainhurst and Mensis?
They're large, complex levels with unique enemy types.

Because people think he was fully responsible for DaS2. Shibuya should have been the one to catch all of the flak since he was the main person in charge of DaS2 for the majority of its development but it seems everyone already forgot about him.

The bridges yes, the rest no.
There are areas that can only be reached by jumping, plenty of secondary rooms and balconies like the one with the Mensis brain and the one with the bell maiden, unlockable parts and the secret area below the castle.
Micolash's boss area alone is built like a labyrinth.
You sound like you're trying to fool someone who hasn't played the game, but I think it's clear that I have.

There's a lot that Dark Souls 2 did right, to be honest.

You can do that in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls III and Bloodborne too, but it doesn't mean that you should.
Poison greatsword are always shit, and in Dark Souls II's case you don't even get ones with special attacks.

Completely optional area that was meant to be played in multiplayer. Fuck off.

Now do the one for dark souls 1

DS2 made durability actually relevant though. In all the other games you can just ignore it, it might as well not even be in the game. I liked having a main weapon and a backup weapon, plus it makes certain builds a challenge (like try a whip only playthrough, it takes thought and strategy to overcome the low durability).

It made durability dumb, unrealistic and broken, DS1 implemented it perfectly.

>>Extremely huge array of infusable weapons, you can make a poison infused MLGS if you like
>>A shit ton of weapons and plenty of content to beat
THIS you could just do a meele magic build and had enough weapons. Meanwhile ds3 was so shit in that aspect.

>You can do that in Dark Souls III
no you can´t? Half of the weapons are not able to be infused, especially if it´s something special or boss weapons.
hoping for an actual ice build.

>You can do that in Demon's Souls, Dark Souls III and Bloodborne too, but it doesn't mean that you should.

But you can't infuse the Moonlight Greatsword in DS3 or BB. My point was that they were a lot less restrictive with what weapons you can infuse with gems and which ones you can't.

>Sekiro
>Souls
>Ignores the existence of Kings Field etc

Not true, Elden Ring is directed by Miyazaki.

Tanimura's working on Bloodborne 2.

Things I want:
>Multiple weapon types with customizable movesets, combos, parries
>Ranged weapons
>Magic that doesn't make the game 2ez
>Character customization
>Different armor
>Rewarding explorations by hiding valuable items in secret areas
>Levels that are visually appealing and meaningfully designed
>An interconnected world
>An improved camera
>Improved hitboxes
>Uncharted-tier graphics
>Invasions and mulitplayer
>Companion animals/monsters which you can control (for example a rat with which you can crawl through tight spaces and see what is behind it)
>Stealth mechanic that actually feels stealthy (i.e. not like Suckiro)
>Improved AI (i.e. enemies who don't just blindly charge at you but who actually use the environment to their advantage)
>Dynamic weather that changes the environments (rain puts out torches, or makes rock faces slippery, or fills basins which allows you to swim to previously unreachable areas for example)
>Improved physics: for example spreadable fire, water that washes away enemies and structures
>Covenants

What I don't want:
>Cutscenes (except perhaps at the very beginning and ending)
>Lots of boring dialogue
>Vast open areas
>QTEs
>Fetch Quests
>Gimmicks
>Weapons that only have niche uses
>Chat
>Voice acting
>Riding a horse

>But you can't infuse the Moonlight Greatsword in DS3 or BB
You absolutely can do it in BB, that's what gems are for. You can also make a fire one or bolt one and they're pretty decent. In Dark Souls III you can't infuse that specific one, but there's plenty of other greatswords with near identical moveset you can ruin with poison infusion.

>You absolutely can do it in BB, that's what gems are for. You can also make a fire one or bolt one and they're pretty decen

Oh right, I forgot about that. My bad.

Cringe

Kids don't know about the king's field.

I hated DS2 vanilla but getting SOTFS this gen was nice. I unironically loved it, late game was great, and the lore was also great.

Shibuya. That was the shit director, Tanimura salvaged his mess.
That said, is talking out of his ass... except Tanimura wasn't moved to work on Sekiro after DS3 was done so it's very likely he will be a co-director. Main director is Miyazaki though, there's a reason he didn't write Sekiro and such, he was busy with this.

The light mechanic was only cut due to the PS3 being unable to render it properly.
The game was designed around it, hence the shitty textures (because noone was intended to see it). When it got cut, they didn't even bother fixing said textures.

God I fucking loathed bloodborne. Such a shallow and cliché concept of a game. This Celtic one sounds half decent though if it’s fully open world like Skyrim

Why did DS3 feel so empty and soulless?

True. But imagine how much better this could look if consoles weren't holding us back. Sigh.

Which was better, DS1 Anor Londo, DS2 Drangleic, or DS3 Ringed City?

This webm makes me want a FromSoft game where you play a monk/martial artist who just fucks dudes up, but the combat is like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

yet another KINO multiplayer experience coming up

The old hunters

Emil Melmoth also makes some creepy stuff.

That makes sense, honestly. Tanimura was garbo with most of DS2’s lore, stories, and characters. This allows Miyazaki to focus on his good shit and Tanimura hopefully to learn some ropes.

Should I bother with ds2 sotfs?
Enjoyed ds2 but that "remake" seemed like a enemy redeployment mod cashgrab.

One hour until E3 coverage starts.

I'm pretty sure Tanimura didn't personally write DS2's lore

Microsoft's conference is in 4 hours though, that's where it will be announced.

he already worked on bloodborne find someone else

so this confirms that the game will have balanced gameplay and not be derivative garbage

GOTY CONFIRMED

But I wanna watch the pre-show coverage as well. How about we watch it together in a comfy thread?

Prove me wrong.

not to mention NG+ actually doing shit
people toot about how DS is replayable but i literally memorized every single enemy position, ambush, room-that-spawns-al
-lot-of-enemies, archers
there's not much challenge for me anymore once i know all about that shit

Still better than Suckiro.

Dark souls 2 had the best gameplay and worst everything else. I'm slightly optimistic.

>DS1 implemented it perfectly
you mean playing through the entire game with one weapon and then at lost izalith remember that durability is a thing because your amor got damaged by the lava

Good. Miyazaki might be incredibly talented but he's been gravitating towards rule of cool in gameplay for the last 3 games, just adding in more and more absurd anime shit. Personally I prefer the more grounded and simpler combat of dark souls 1 and 2 with more options and customization. Miyazaki has been focussing too much on quality over quantity to the point where the meme about bloodborne having no weapons became true with sekiro having only one weapon.

Not that sekiro is a bad game, but it shows what miyazaki's gameplay priorities are now and I've been hoping for a return to the old style for a while now.

Enemy tracking isn't fun, realistic, or good design

Thanks, going to the library to read this shit right now

Is this the start of a new trilogy?

more like the only game in which durability matters and it was only a problem for retards that spammed attacks at corpses

then you just have walking slowly to the side to avoid any attack that's not a big horizontal swing.
how do you suggest you fix that?

You just need to realize how little stamina you have, what happens when you run out, and how stiff attacking can end up being. Once you’re over that, you realize how the stiffness of the character reflects in the game world.
I don’t even feel it’s all that “balanced”; you have this weird attempt at a more “”realistic”” combat and then they go ahead and make jumping attacks the best in the series, completely shitting on all their NPCs.

Most of it is linear but the swamp area is quite open, the one with the locusts, one adjudicator and one dragonslayer armor, and the passage to unlock a path back into the main building with notpatches. There's also a bit of verticality leading you to find the mural where notpatches remembers himself

he wants to experiment so i can't fault him, let Tanimura direct the multiplayer series while he comes up with new concepts

enemy tracking should be implemented so it tracks towards the direction you are moving when the attacks starts, so it will hit you if you keep going in the same direction, but if you change your direction (or just stand still) it misses.

>baaaaaaaaaawww why i cant backstab everything

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAGAYAYYAAHAHJSOZJZKos

The real hack is Tomohiro Shibuya not Tanimura, btw

Yeah, I wish they'd go back to the slower, more strategic style combat with a heavier emphasis on RPG elements instead of the twitchy dodge roll reaction test design they keep moving towards.

fuck you buddy

Shockwaves and rubble

>not parrying

300 replies and no sources. Fuck this place.

t. Tomohiro
have you found a job yet?

why do we have a giant thread on some bullshit OP made up?

>DaS2 to now is making a brand new engine and game rather than scrapping shit last minute like with DaS2
Might be cool. DaS2 has issues but the world wasn't one of them

Because this place is full of retards.

Why did they make a new engine for DS2?

>Shockwaves

It's just virgin shitposting see
This is leaked directly from the bandai website due to security problems

>namco
>guy from dark souls 2
>martin

Talk about major red flags.

this is fantastic news!

I know Elden Ring leaked but there are zero mentions of the name Yui Tanimura in there.

No if he had been standing the guard would have aggro'd. You can see the yellow triangle appear when he turns around

Roll Souls 3 could not be easier.
They give you two rings that make rolls even better ffs.

Martin is a great at worldbuilding tho

Already revealed to be BloodborneBox, Xbone, and PC.

And at descriping underage girls having to shit their bowels out.

Try circle backstabbing a Lothric Knight, or any other enemy that isn't a trash mob like the Settlement Workers or Irithyll Guards.

It was originally going to be completely open world, iirc. Rumour is that it was an internal project that got turned into DaS2 early on for Bamco, meaning things had to be repurposed.
Say what you will about Tanimura, he got handed a fucked up development and turned it into a solid game.

>Roll Souls 3 could not be easier
You could reduce the ‘actions per minute’ to DS2 levels. Neither has less shit than the other.

Epic maymay. It was even funnier the first hundred times.

This, one of the positive things I can say about DS3 is that they tried to curb circle-strafing and backstab fishing.

Is there a better term?

Will they ever use the engine again or is it scrapped?

THERE ARE ZERO SOURCES OF YUI TANIMURA DIRECTING THIS, YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS

>shitty textures
They're objectively higher-resolution than what we had in DS1, there's nothing wrong with the textures themselves its the fact that they're pasted repeatedly on large, flat surfaces.

>Gutted half the RPG systems
>Babby's First Souls
>Best game in the series u guiz XDDD
lolno

Dunno lad. I hear they've developed their own in-house engine for Elden Ring, but no source on that. No UE4 (thank God) or Havok for this one.
