Alright, I know I was going to get an old clunky game going into Demon's Souls, I mean it was 2009 that was a long time ago it was good for the time. But coming off of Dark Souls 3, which is so smooth and polished and refined, Demon's Souls is just an inferior clunkier uglier jankier version of the same game. Seriously its so hard to play, it did not age well. I barely had to put any effort into fighting the enemies, I rarely touched the dodge button. Also the graphics are so bad, compared to Dark Souls 3 which is a visual masterwork. I think people who say DeS is the best have nostalgia glasses on. Maybe I'm being too harsh, I mean its old as hell now (2009) and I can't expect much from games that old. It was probably the best of all time back then, but Dark Souls 3 is better in every way, so why bother with demons souls? Its too outdated to tolerate compared to DS3 and you have no reason to play it anymore other than nostalgia and its the first of its series.
Demon's Souls is too outdated to play

Agreed
>It did not age well
Go fuck yourself.
So outdated it doesn't even have a multiplayer. How the fuck does a game like that come out and not have online? Fucking fromsoft are fucking hacks
It was great at the time but it's by far the weakest of the Souls games now. Only contrarian hipster faggots would suggest otherwise.
I WANNA TALK ABOUT SPEED FOR YOU
Dark Souls 2 is unequivocally better, hipster faggots also just are too retarded to enjoy it.

I enjoyed demon's souls but when I tried scholar of the first sin i just couldn't get into it. Is the base game better? Am I just tasteless?
You should seriously consider suicide.
Demon's Souls is the only good Souls game
fuck you op I wish I could play this
Is there any news on whether Dark Souls 2 is coming to the switch or not?

only yourself to blame. kinda funny too how Maiden in Black the original waifu is still the best one they made.

I do kinda feel sorry for people that never got to play Demon's first. It was truly an original and rewarding experience, and there's no way that going backwards would have the same effect.
But I do honestly still prefer the themes and form of Des, with it's darker aesthetic and it's somehow even more esoteric lore.

I feel the same way about Dark Souls 1&2.
Sekiro, Bloodborne, and DaS 3 are all more fun because of the speed of combat.
Demon's Souls is the most vulnerable to cheesing, but to anyone who hasn't played it, it's still well worth the run. It's by far the most imaginative of the Souls games, which went in too hard on combat as if every encounter was Flamelurker. Demon's Souls felt like a proper dungeon crawler in comparison to its successors
No retard, I can still go back and play older games in a series cuz I'm not fucking stupid.
The fuck is your problem, just dont play the game if you dont want to.
Stop making retarded threads, thats the last thing this place needs.
NEVER EVER
Whenever life, work, etc. is pushing me to the breaking point, I mutter this to myself. It reminds me of a time I had to completely cool my nerves and get in the zone
been emulating demons souls
it looks and feels better than dark souls 3
>Demon's Souls is the only good Souls game
You should seriously consider suicide.
Nah, you're the only one with any sense to yourself. The base game is even more boring than SotFS.
Demon's Souls shot this game series into popularity in the first place while DS2 put the series' reputation into jeopardy. You figure it out why you like one and not the other.
Yeah that's true. Its just so much more fast and bad ass, I can't play Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 because they're ancient now, and too slow. Maybe the technology wasn't there at the time, but the speed of the new games is much more refined and smooth compared to the slow clunkiness of the first games.
>scholar of the first sin
consider yourself lucky you never got to play the shit that was DS2 before SotFS
>"wah wah its too le old and hard to play!!"
>its a late 2000s game
i want to gas zoomers, it wasnt that long ago and the tech differences are relatively small. demons actually holds up great as a result of being very well designed and directed, and you cant see that because youre a pleb who only cares about grafix and spamming fast attacks while dodging. not like it has to worry a lot about "holding up", its hardly a decade old. have fun playing heavily watered down beatemups.
Are you fucking retarded? The servers went off earlier this year.

It's too bad even the original DaS is such a design departure from DeS. It's by far my favorite despite some objective execution problems simply because its the only game designed from the ground up to be like DeS.
whats the best level and why is it 3-1?
It's 2-2, love that subterranean crawl
DeS is an overrated pile of trash. There's a reason the series (and studio) only picked up after dark souls. Only people pretending it holds a candle to anything from has done afterwards are nostalgiatards seeking hipster cred
I don't get this. All the souls games including Bloodborne desu play more or less exactly the same. There have been some refinements through the years but nothing that substantially alters the core mechanics. I played DeS not long ago and it was as great as the first time i played it.
This this THIS
Its mostly zoomers who were likely 4 years old when DeS came out.
>aged meme
>about a game from the last fucking gen
I'm a zoomer myself. I played the game a year before DS2 came out. It was great then and it's still great now, shame about the online though.
Demon's Souls has more soul than Dark Souls 3.
ayyy lookin good mommacita
Ds3 is the worst in the series though
>when you're actually retarded
How long did it take you to learn to breath dumbfuck?
Why do you assume something is bait instead of the poster just being genuinely retarded?
How?
-Best level designs with many cool looking locations
-hard and fair enemies
-fun skill testing bosses
-AMAZING graphics like holy crap
-fast smooth polished combat
-lots of weapons and armor
Its the most expanded/refined game and makes demons souls feel too clunky and hard to play now. I dont even consider demons souls a ps3 game, its too outdated and cringe.
>outdated and cringe
but its true, how can you play DeS after Dark Souls 3? its so much faster and satisfying with more attacks and cooler animations. demons is just so hard to look at and go back to after being spoiled by the latest and greatest.
>roll souls 3
>good combat
>Best level designs with many cool looking locations
Demon's Souls has better level design and is probably the most consistent. Dark Souls' first half has better level design. I'm playing through Bloodborne for the first time right now, but so far it has better level design. The locations are all grey castles.
>hard and fair enemies
Yeah, but most games in the series have this
>fun skill testing bosses
I'll give you this one, I love the bosses in the game even though they all feel pretty similar. Demon's Souls had more creative bosses, even if some become nothing but gimmicks on repeated playthroughs
>AMAZING graphics like holy crap
I wouldn't call them amazing, but sure they're better than its predecessors. I still prefer the atmosphere of Demon's and Dark Souls though, and would take it over good graphics any day
>fast smooth combat
I prefer the slow-paced, methodical combat of the previous games. It's too easy to spam roll to win in 3, and it feels too much like Bloodborne.
>lots of weapons and armor
Again, a feature in most of the games, but Dark Souls 2 clearly has the most variety so I'm not sure why you're crediting 3 with this.
I think Dark Souls 3 gets too much hate here and I don't think it's the worst Souls game, but it's really not that much better than its predecessors. Unless you played 3 first, going back to Demon's Souls isn't an issue at all
Again? Damn. I loved the surge in online popularity when they decided not to ax the online however many years ago. Then I stopped playing to my sadness. I didn't realize that would be my last time being a boss with a gigantic headpiece in that game. Maybe I'll boot up DS3 and wear a xanthos crown in the spear of the church.
yeah i played 3 first and its a struggle trying to tolerate demons souls, difference is like WHOA. when you play the latest game of a series and go back to the first its like that, it feels like night and day.
>Sekiro Shadows Die Twice - The Tenchu: Stealth Assassins boomers dream finally realized
I felt like the stealth was underbaked, I don't see how any tenchufag stealth game enthusiast would be thrilled by the stealth in Sekiro. Fun game though.
It's not like you're going from playing Wasteland 2 to Wasteland DOS, Demon's Souls is literally just slower and a bit clunkier. Just play the game for what it is and enjoy it, if you truly enjoy the Souls series there's no reason you won't love it
All the varieties of cheese in the game is what made replaying it so fun though. You have so many options for crazy cheesy bullshit you can do and nothing ever got nerfed into uselessness by constant patches like later games.
>Some slightly dated animations (which are still better than Dark Souls II's) and questionable mechanics like lack of plunging attack somehow render it 'the weakest of the Souls games'
Yeah, because atmosphere, level design, lore, and game feel are irrelevant, right?
What kind of idiotic zoomer do you have to be to suggest that a small degree of clunkiness/roughness invalidates a game entirely? While posting a gif of the jankiest game in the Souls series, at that.
The entirety of Tower of Latria had an amazing atmosphere but I feel like Boletaria had really solid level design and 1-1 was a good introduction to DeS after the tutorial.
You sound like an insufferable person to be around. Try to construct some coherent sentences for once, other than DUDE THAT GAME IS LIKE SOO COOL
I played all the way through the base game but gave up relatively early on in SoTFs. Spambush up the ass and just retarded enemy placement ruined the game for me. I’m not sure if I’m in the minority with my opinion but I genuinely didn’t see too many issues with the base game and enjoyed it with a few minor gripes while simultaneously despising SotFS.
You're right, but I feel sorry for anyone who started as a royal or a mage in their first playthrough. The game was just built around being a knight and was 10/10 for that
>be a scrub bitch
>blame the game
based retard
Demon's has a lot more variety, tries much more interesting things and mechanics like the scraping spear or greatswords which throw human characters that get hit by them horizontally, MUCH better and more interesting level design (Tower of Latria and Valley of Defilement are huge for me)
Interesting NPC quests, and avant-garde magic such as Soul Sucker that can fucking level people down. It also has top notch armor design and the slow clunky combat is intended, not a technology issue. Sounds like you also can't play classicvanias.
I plugged in my antique Coleco Telstar the other day, and played Pong for less than thirty seconds before I got too bored to continue. Games really can get outdated.
this game has argueably the wost poison levels and a ton of things that feel unfinished.
I did like it as a subtle prequel to DS. It matches up near perfectly. And there should of been more story to it. As is it was kinda limp imho
Ds3 is simply more of the same without really expanding on anything new, whilst not really doing anything better than it's predecessors. It's an easily forgettable game and if you started with it and unironically think it's superior, your opinion is shit and deserves nothing but ridicule and laughter.
>prequels
prequels are made after the initial game, retard
phenomenal post
I played it the other day and its still great - the mechanics themselves may be a bit archaic and without the subsequent polish but the game itself is still fantastic, absolute god tier level design, great, memorable bosses, and fun as fuck armour, weapons, spells, etc.
I played DeS at launch at it put me off the series for years. Never went back to it until Bloodborne since the slow pace was my biggest complaint, and was then finally able to enjoy DaS by chucking the shield and playing with fast roll. I still think the games aren't fun at all if you try to sword and board them, which is what the early game in both DeS and DaS nudges you towards.
I've gone back to it 2 or 3 times since and have still never finished it. Too many irritations which were later solved like carry weight and the byzantine weapon upgrade system.
>Play a knight
>This motherfucker shows up
This shit nearly made me ragequit the whole Souls series, tbqh.
t. zoomer who never played a fucking tenchu game
Sekiro would have been an insult to Tenchu, which is why they decided to not make it a Tenchu game officially.
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were pretty much the same kind of person, really. They both had max cap threads daily before generals and /vg/ were a thing.
used to get mad souls by co-oping in full heavy armour with a giant greatsword and i would just tank hits while stunlocking him so nubs could plink at him from the sides
You won't be crushing any noobs today you piece of shit
t. low key badborne nigger trying to wax his cock over babby's first lovecraftian horror some more
Anyone who thinks games age doesn't actually like video games.
hard truth
inb4 rage
btw, slower = worse. its slight clunkiness (which is largely limited to the UI) has nothing to do with gamespeed, in which the slowness works well. slowness is in the games favor even, considering its not a beat em up action game. being faster and cooler looking isn't an inherent positive.
You have a heart of gold! Don't let them take it from ya...
>someone else whose favorite areas are Tower of Latria and Valley of Defilement
Brother...
read between the lines. check yourself before you wreck yourself, dumbfuck.
Sticky White Stuff, my man.
Also I still wonder, what the fuck even IS Flamelurker? Is that what happens to people fully affected by that dragonskin disease while also having accumulated a great many souls? Is he like a Scion to the Dragon God?
>read between the lines
>make up shit in your head
ftfy
I like how flashy the weapons could be
Especially considering the degree of "jank" is more of a minor inconvenience than a huge game ruining issue, unless you're a zoomer with shit standards. demons souls already had great animation, presentation, art direction, atmosphere and its "age" is irrelevant. a game like twilight princess has significantly more stilted combat animation than a demons souls yet i hear zero people bitch about jank as much as they would with DeS.
fug off you know what I meant, it's technicly a subtle prequel because they don't acknowledge the two as in the same serious fucker
Kill yourself, faggot. Dark Souls choice of marketing made it babby's first hard action game for FPS dew chugging normalfags which caused a cash grab second game to be rushed out the door by half the actual team and damage the series' flow in general
He's a Demon. Demons in DeS lore take the form of things the different civilizations revered, either gods like the Dragon God, or heroes like the Penetrator and the other Boletaria demons. I think Flamelurker is just an old fire demon that got sealed there, same as the Dragon God which is an archdemon. The burrowers were blacksmiths / miners so it makes sense Flamelurker took the form of some sort of fire god.
how fucking long is her torso
if she stood tall she would be like 8 feet tall
This. In fact, a very large amount of Souls games animations have been lifted straight from Demon's Souls for years, only with small things like inverse kinematics added.
Probably the only 'truly' clunky thing about Demon's Souls is the stupid wall-vaulting mechanic.
Why do people keep saying the combat of the first two games being slower is a bad thing/a result of clunkiness or outdated tech? When did having faster combat become an inherent pro and a result of better tech? Which sounds especially retarded considering this is the 7th fucking gen we're talking about, not even early 7th gen. Zoomers act like they're playing a magnavox odyssey 40 years later.
I want to make that tummy of hers grow big with my child.
>Probably the only 'truly' clunky thing about Demon's Souls is the stupid wall-vaulting mechanic.
If only it was in Dark Souls 2. Forgive the screenshot, it's the only one I could find online.
Explanation: that little rubble you could have vaulted over is what makes you have to take a detour and fight four of the most powerful beings in the land which makes up the first half or more of the game.
The wall vaulting mechanic and the ui easily. being able to buy more than one item at once while being unable to level up more than one stat per level was admittedly shitty. additions like plunge and jump we're a definition welcome even if it wasn't a requirement in DeS. Most additions now don't open up new potential for expanding the established gameplay. It just feels like they're pushing more and more for a mediocre action game that doesn't have the ability to be DMC or Bayonetta.
>It just feels like they're pushing more and more for a mediocre action game that doesn't have the ability to be DMC or Bayonetta.
I actually like the action-leaning combat in Sekiro or especially Bloodborne, but Elden Ring is said to be more heavily a RPG game so maybe you get your wish.

when people say slow pace i recognize immediately that they are zoomer le competitive soulsborne faggots.
dark souls and dark souls 3 have horrible input lag. the havoc engine for demon souls and elegant gameplay are so much better than everything that came after. dark souls 2 is like a fever dream facsimile but still not even close.
playing demons souls on emulator right now in 4k its so fucking sexual.
idgi
Demon's Souls is way faster paced than Dark Souls 1 or even worse Dark Souls 2. Not quite as fast / spammy as DS3 but way less slow paced than people make it out to be.
dark souls 2 is just reskinned two worlds 2
SOTFS is for mouthbreathing retards
There would be impassible doors past that rubble but I know you Harry Potter youtuber parrots can't help your stupid
I started as a knightfag and the thing I did was unequip some armor and get a bastard sword and somehow that was how I won. Shit was a rush
Still better levels than Dark Souls 3.
>genuinely liking VoD
I love it for what it is but I absolutely hate it at the same time. Fuck those giga niggas and black phantoms who are unimpeded by the massive poison shithole I have to wade through.
not even reading this shit thread. Demon Soul's is still the best one atmospherically. and to compare it to DS3 mechanically is fucking retarded. of course the newer one is more polished you absolute monkey brained nigger
You don't use the Great Souls for anything else other than opening the Shrine of Winter. The Drangleic Castle doors open with the souls from the soldiers you kill there, it's unrelated to the Shrine of Winter.

For me, it’s the Dragon Bone Smasher

Demons are mythical things brought to life (like Adjudicator) or normal things mutated by the fog. I assume he was something from the Stonefang miner’s mythos like the Dragon God.

Here's what the broken archstone area looks like.
I think 3-1 SUCKS. 1-3 is the where the good shit is.
Ugh.....what could’ve been....
I'm pretty sure nothing gets mutated by the fog and the heroes that turned into Demons were just replaced, like False King is to the true king.
Knight is the coolest way to fight him with the Purple Flame Shield, weathering the giant explosion punches behind it and killing him in single combat.
literally beaten demon souls 2 weeks ago
