stop shilling your overrated trash.

90% of games from 10 years ago were recycled.

which was a good idea because most people didnt play demon souls

>DeS finally gets emulated
>Yea Forums finally realizes what a phoned in derivative pile of shit the Dark Souls trilogy is

BASED

How far along are ps3 emus? I have to imagine with how archaic that hardware is that it's probably a pain to get going.

>Darkroot Garden
>Anor Londo
>Sens Fortress
>Painted World
>Great Hollow
>Ash Lake
None of this have comparable areas in Demons Souls. I'd say Dark Souls is about a third recycled Demons Souls ideas, a third good original ideas, and a third bad original ideas.

This desu. You have to be brain damaged to enjoy DaS seemless world to the tight as fuck level and theme design of DeS. There's literally NOTHING in DaS that comes close to Tower of Latria.

it really goes to show you how many people here actually play the games they shit talk

Dont understand why they removed this

Tbh I thought DaS2 (scholar edition) was the only other that had a great atmosphere like DeS.

Bloodborne just didn't have enough NPC interaction for me. Will say the bosses were far and away the hardest of the series up there with DLC bosses from DaS2 and 3. Amygdala and Dancer of the Boreal Valley took me so many fucking tries

It isn't a sequel though. There's no excuse for rehashing as much as they did (and even so they STILL couldn't deliver a finished game)

Imagine if Shit Souls 2 had this. You could skip half the game jumping the chest high wall at the shrine of winter

Dancer is DaS3 and you mean Cursed Amygdala right?

If the ideas are good, what's the issue?

I'm so sick of MatthewMatosis dicksuckers who think novelty is more important than quality.

>the bosses were far and away the hardest of the series
Stop talking about games you've never played, user.

Matthewmatosis thinks Dark Souls is better than Demon's Souls, though.

Except practically every single video he's made since then has been "ITERATION BAD".

There's nothing bad with refining a concept with more time and bigger budget, liking DeS doesn't in any way shape or form make it so you must hate DaS. There's no dick measuring contest here

Its just unfortunate that QoL changes happen in games that are inferior as a whole. DaS starts so strong and just turns to shit. DaS 2 is shit entirely, and DaS 3 is just an apology for DaS 2.

>soul
DeS, BB
>some soul
DaS, DaS II (for completely different reasons)
>soulless
DaS III

I'm assuming you're talking about The Lost Arts of Demon's Souls. I'm not going to pull the video back up, but he says something to the extent of, "And with Dark Souls, they looked to make Demon's Souls only bigger and most people, myself included, seem to think it's a great sequel and the better game." Not to mention that he has a 6 hour playthrough video of Dark Souls.

Izalith and Dukes are objectively shit

DaS took DeS' mechanics yet put its own spin on it and in a new original world. Estus, bonfires, interconnected world without loading screens, more straight forward upgrading of weapons.
With the DaS sequels, especially III, there's no innovation, it's all "muh fire, muh souls, muh hollow curse"

>Izalith
You're completely right, and furthermore-
>Dukes
I hope you choke to death

Didn't even fight the cursed version just the original Amygdala kicked my ass. Also my bad got them mixed up in my head thinking Dancer of Boreal Valley was Bloodborne lmao my point still stands I think Bloodborne bosses are some of the hardest in the series but I almost never summon help for bosses in Souls games so for people that do they probably don't agree

I agree.

Dark Souls sucks as a sequel because for every step it took forward it also took one back. It's a side-grade at best, which is dumb since that wasn't what I expected after all that development time. It wasn't surprising at all that every game since then barely improved the formula and was just as likely to break things as it did improve them. It's been goddamn 10 years and the series never went anywhere and is now effectively dead.

From Soft has good level designers and nothing else. They have no fucking clue how to iterate and build upon a game.

yeah and demon's souls recycled 70% of king's field, what of it?

So how hard is it to emulate the ps3?
My PC is toaster as duck, I have a gt 730 and an old amd CPU.
It can actually handle some ps2 emulation though

Yeah if you don't have at least a Ryzen CPU or equivalent intel then don't bother.

Funny thing about the souls games is that they encourage replaying them multiple times via ng+ and with every ng+ you see the games faults clearer and clearer. Thats why DeS and BB are really the best in the series. Their faults are few and far between, and where DaS fixed some things from DeS it also fucked a lot of things up.

Why would someone throw away good ideas just because they already came up with them? If it ain't broke, don't fix it

>Their faults are few and far between
Is this a joke?

The same reason they do it with pokemon. It makes it so they dont completely invalidate the previous titles.

That's literally what they did in Dark Souls 2 and why it's so bad lol

not even surprised

Few and far between doesnt mean they are without faut. Both DeS and BB have fuckin issues. But Id rather deal with the problems those games have as opposed to the problems the DaS series has

Still better than Hallway Rolls 3.

They were made by the same people, so who cares?

>MFW people are FINALLY realizing this shit after nearly a decade.

God damn I'm so fucking hard right now. I hated that demon souls got swept under the rug while dark souls became a "genre defining"
rpg off the back of an arguably equal or superior work.

fucking hate normies. They turned the souls community to shit, and the parasites followed after the franchise became famous.
>just wait until you take the redpill that Demon's Souls got some of It's ideas from Kings Field IV

it's literally pottery

I think world tendencies was a genius idea and the fact meeting certain NPCs is based around this gives the game the best replay value in the series

Fight me
