I shouldn't have to "git gud" for the game to be good. It should just be good no matter who plays it.

Plus,
>muh obscure non-story
Suck my fucking dick. Witcher 3 has one of the best stories in any video game, ever. Dark Souls doesn't even have proper cutscenes. You have to read a fucking wikipedia just to understand what's going on.

Unlike most movie-games, w3 actually has gameplay. A lot of it.

Why the fuck did you include Max Payne 3 then?

Skyrim was better

For me, it's the world design and art direction unironically. It's that sky in Anor Londo, it's that view at the top of the church, that sun that Solaire is staring at, that view from the spot of the giant that opens the door in Sen's Fortress, the crystal caves, the ambiance in the forest, the moonlight butterfly, the theme of Ornstein and Smough. Everything is so sincere and has so much soul.

Why is Dark Souls such a good game bros?

Attached: top10gamesofalltime.webm (960x538, 2.98M)

witcher 3 focuses on setting and story above all else, the gameplay being secondary. that makes it a movie game.

max payne 3 has a story with a lot of cutscenes yea, but the gameplay is the focus of the game and its exceptionally good. therefore not a movie game.

amount of cutscenes has nothing to do with whether something is a movie game or not. see the last of us, clearly a movie game even if it doesnt have a ton of cutscenes.

Holy fuck you're retarded.

At least half that list is garbage. Smash Ultimate isn't even the best smash game this decade

enjoy your EPIC story bro

Pecause the game has been designed, in terms of gameplay and art/aesthetics, as a 90s game. Even the graphics look like from 2006 or so, mgs4 from 2008 arguably looks better (pure technically that is).

Great art direction -> great mystery/sense of wonder + exploration + combat that feels heavy and stiff = basically like a ps1 experience. Everything about it scream s 90s and they pulled that off really well

how the fuck do i get my gf to actually try to play these games properly anymore while still doing co-op? i made her solo DS1 and BB past halfway, and she seemed to hang in there with me decent enough. we've played through ds3 together in its entirety and are wrapping up ds2, but she's seemed really low effort and reliant on me to do heavy lifting on most bosses in these last two games. she started sekiro on release day but quit playing after da bull and hasn't touched for three months.

yes ds1 is game of the generation imo

For me it's:

Ghost Trick
Sekiro
Bloodborne
Breath of the Wild
Mario Odyssey
Sonic Mania
Hollow Knight
Thimbleweed Park
Splatoon
Nier Automata

Dark Souls is the sole successor of obscure Japanese RPGs like Lunatic Dawn and Zill O'll that focused on mechanics and player choice and didn't let the story railroad gameplay. Also Dark Souls had good art direction and good localization, which are rarities today.

Isn't it past your bedtime, kid?

dark souls turns to shit after anor londo, and it's hit or miss before that point anyway. most overrated game of the 2010s, demons souls did everything dark souls did, first, and better.

my wife couldn't even play skyrim when she realized you had to both look and move with both sticks at the same time, had a panic attack during the opening sequence because "it was overwhelming"

>>muh "clunky" buzzword that doesn't even mean anything
Dark Souls combat has a retarded input delay where your character can be stuck doing inputs pressed seconds ago. It frankly is the main reason why I don't have Dark Souls in my top 10 GOAT.

I think you missed what the game was going for bud

That's not input delay, you're queuing actions. It's invaluable in Sekiro especially.

i think you missed my butthole your mom was going for with her tongue haha bud

>smash 4

I like smash games and 4 is better than ultimate.

It makes the combat subpar in DeS and DaS for me. The games make up for it by rewarding smart builds and play, but it overall lessens the feeling of control when characters do moves you did not intend them to do.

How come no one ever talks about the setting and characters? Damn, replaying the first game and remembering all games, every single person meets a tragic fate.

Agree 100%. The irony, of course, is that Dark soulets complain BOTW had poor combat mechanics without looking at their own favorite game, lmao!

>only 8/50 made during the past 10 years
YIKES

Even by that list there are only 5 games above it, and dark souls is the best game of the decade that is an original ip.

Nioh has better gameplay than any FromSoft game, and no one mentions it.

Yea Forums has gone soft.

>most were made durig the 90s
so is this just proof that games were better back then, or is it just that new gaming concepts are harder to conceive of today?

Like I said. Most games suck now. To the point where it's difficult to even pick ten really good ones.

>best game of the decade that is an original ip
It's a sequel though.

it does but everything else is weaker. so overall the game ends up being slightly worse.

Ah, you're right. I always forget about DeS even tough I fucking played it.

Viking: Battle for Asgard's combat unironically shits all over Souls combat. It actually depresses me how shit the combat in Dark Souls is when it gets so much praise, yet Viking was actually fun and nobody even heard about it.

what's the best

It's literally mediocre at best and only low-IQ Plebbit and NeoFAG trannies praise this shit to heaven.

Nothing about it is even remotely great, not the music (literally the composer's worst video game OST so far, just boring as fuck, even if music is present which it usually isn't), the terrible, generic gameplay, the level design which is literally just corridors without barely any verticality (except ladders).

Also unpolished as fuck, especially the second half.

Also, as a journalist let me tell you; the only reason we give From shit good scores these days is literally because we simply fear a backlash of legions of mentally ill fans storming our websites and calling us "casual" and trying to denounce us.

Wish people like you just killed themselves and stopped coming here.

Reviews for Souls games are completely vacuous.

Almost every niche random JRPG that came out is better, probably hundreds, lol. Xenoblade for example is a new IP and has some excellent bits like soundtrack, art, exploration, something fresh like scaling two titans as the setting and does away with boring, rigid turn-based shit for a good middle ground. Souls does nothing but suck and make casuals feel cool.

I think what really kills it for me is how bad effects from the base game are compared to everything in the DLC. I am praying that in the sequel equipment effects will all be percentage based instead of so many flat number bonuses. Surely they know this time how high the scale is going to go up front?

Do you play Monster Hunter? Have you done the later quests solo? Like 140 Zinogre or AT Nergigante? or DMC on higher difficulties? Then Souls is piss easy in comparison.

It's just mouth breathers.

It's not that hard, mostly it's just memorizing level design and boss attack patterns so you don't get surprised by some random bullshit like an enemy hiding in a corner and die.

hit detection in dark souls is hilariously bad. how the fuck did this game get good reviews?

See

DeS didn't get good reviews across the board, it got raped by the Famitsu for one. It was only when the autistic fanbase came to be that reviewers became careful with what they give Souls.

We are FORCED to give Souls games high review scores these days to be regarded as "hardcure" and trustworthy.


Letting you in on a secret here. There is a reason you never see them win GotY awards, though. Most of us actually hate these games to death.

>Any Dark Souls game
>best game
Wut?

It's the best souls game by a wide margin with the exception of DeS but that came out in 2009.

1: falls apart entirely about halfway through the game and never recovers.

3: cheap imitation of every other souls game with none of things that made any of the rest of them special.

BB: no build variety, no gameplay variety, every aspect of the game from the environments to the combat is severely hampered by the hardware.

Scholar stands on its own merits as the biggest and best souls game.

It's not even the best soulsborne game

>Most of us actually hate these games to death.
Yes, everyone knows that gaming (((journalists))) hate video games that aren't movie-game cakewalks. Because souls games actually require some effort.

it is not a very fast paced game. A lot of bosses are easy to read, there are a few really good bosses. A lot of the difficult parts are just "btw this game has mimics" or "gotcha! better watch out for that when you come back through."
If you play with sorcery then the games are ez modo.

and then there's the worst boss of all time where you block, you get knocked in the hole, you make a run for it, you get knocked in the hole. You try to roll through the sweep, you get knocked in the hole. To this day I still don't know what the strategy is besides hope RNG will pick not to sweep the arms,

I tried to get a friend to play it, he got killed by tutorial mooks because he was standing in one place swinging, wouldn't be mobile at all. It's funny because I watched this guy play through both Kingdom Hearts games. Most people didn't think it was hard, they were shitting on people like this who did by telling them "git gud" because the game is pretty simple when you get down to it.

DS2 is legit harder, they shit out tons of enemies at your just because they thought that would make it harder in a meaningful way, everything has disjointed hitboxes.
3 everything is pretty beefed up, it is like playing DS1 on NG+ the first time.

It's funny. people keep posting this, but when they do they never post webms of how boring and janky the fucking combat is as you sidestep around monsters.

To be fair, King's Field games take decades to complete because of how shit they run.

Did you like BB and Sekiro, and did you actually beat them?

on the original hardware, sure. bump up emulator cpu speed and they run fast and smooth like those silky stones.

literally seething

Pretty weird how original with DSfix just blows the remake out of the water graphically.

for the last couple years, ebay/paypal return policies give buyers upwards of 6 months free returns for virtually any reason.

Best way for bed of chaos is to quit after destroying a heart; the game loads you outside the boss room for a perfect neutral run to the next heart, and the damage you did carries over.

Its a shit way of doing it but cuts out most of the bullshit, i've never died doing it this way.

The third game is much more accessible and pretty looking but also much more linear and railroads you into a typical melee build

>Also, as a journalist let me tell you

Fromsoft should respect journalists by adding a handicapped mode

Nah the infusion system was almost universally liked. Restricting weapon infusion is retarded.

They can't type up a review in a day like they can for COD or Naughty Dog games

Thats the thing, it is good no matter who plays it. You are in the bottom 0.001% of bottom tier worst players on the planet if you think it's hard in a bad way and not a brilliantly crafted challenge that is perfectly fair.

I'd need to sit down and look at a list of the stuff that came out each year.
I'd put DS1 above Terraria for 2011 and Dishonored above DDDA for 2012, both both your picks would be my second choices.
I liked NieR Automata and Prey 2017 more than HK for 2017 but that's a solid 3rd choice.
2015 would be a hard choice between Bloodborne and Undertale for me. Witcher 3 was good too.

People don't get paid more to do those things though. They collect a wage that goes up only at the whim of their bosses, who aren't going to hand out raises just because you feel that you worked harder. Even ambition is a mixed bag - it can take you far, but it also makes you a threat to the established money and power in whatever market you're trying to establish yourself.

TL;DR You want to see awesome video games? Reward the actual people who make them, and not just the publishing company or its shareholders. Until the behavior you want from people comes with an adequate reward to incentivize people to act that way, you're only ever going to see the indicated behavior in outliers.

who the fuck are you preaching to? no one here is signing checks, negotiating dev contracts, whatever.

>Bloodborne at 1
Yeah, no. Why would you put this trash fire at the top of anything?
>Dark Souls
Yeah, okay, but it probably doesn't belong this hig-
>Metal Gear Rising
You're not even fucking trying anymore. Is this whole list just a joke?
>Max Payne 3
Seriously?
>Dragon's Dogma
>Sekiro
>Monster Hunter
>SSBU
You have to go back.

>Witcher 3 has one of the best stories....
Opinion discarded. Thoroughly. Someone hit this man so hard he falls off the internet.

8 years ago, fuck. It's terrifying how fast the time goes, I remember preordering it on a total whim, knowing nothing about it. Really glad I did.

capping frames at 60 with DSfix causes mechanical issues though

Yeah, I sure love blown out gamma-incorrect lighting and no physically based rendering

which can be toggled by pressing backspace because those mechanical issues are only in 2 or 3 parts of the game

>Also, as a journalist let me tell you; the only reason we give From shit good scores these days is literally because we simply fear a backlash of legions of mentally ill fans storming our websites and calling us "casual" and trying to denounce us.
Yes, that's why they all gave Demon's Souls good scores before the series was ever popular.
You LARPing cuck faggot.

Actual Games of the decade:

Dark Souls
Dark Souls 3
Bloodborne
Sekiro
Nioh
Persona 5
Dragon Quest XI
Celeste
Hollow Knight
Dark Souls 2

>second half of the game is shit that in places is literally unfinished (ie bed of chaos)
Dark Souls isn't the best game of the decade, and the only reason anyone would say so is due to nostalgia because it was the first 'Dark Souls' like game they played.

God you're a seething faggot

Still the best

having just played the first dark souls (70 hours) and now 20 hours into the second i can confirm that it's not as hard as it's cracked up to be. honestly finding things is the hardest part, playing a thief fucked me up going into areas that i probably shouldnt have

Challenge: Name all of the games from that list that you Genuinely think are overrated

Look at this Fromdrone

>die
yeah thats usually how that works

rekt faggot

I may be new to dark souls (took me a month to beat ds1, working on ds2 now) but I agree that ds1 is amazing for what it is.
The atmosphere, the music, the bosses (except you ornstein), the weapons, man it's all fantastic. The locations are also much more diverse than bloodborne (my first soulsborne). I will never forget huge places like anor londo, or the beautiful crystal caves.
Now I'm just waiting for ds2 to start getting good.
