DS3 was shat out after a 12 month dev cycle. It was pretty clear that From wanted nothing to do with the game.

probably realized halfway that it looked too much like bloodborne

DS3 had been in development even before DS2 was released.

holy fucking shit OP literally git gud

Bloodborne was rushed too. But at least it had the DLC going for it, unlike DS3. Also, you can lower your insight to improve frenzy resistance.

Not artificial difficulty but pretty fucking annoying.

The most kino fights are when the invader comes when you're fighting these and you somehow kill them both

creepiest enemy in soulsborne

>creepiest
You mean sexiest. That voice made my dick hard.

but other game!

Dark Souls 2 is the most fun game, and you know it.

You wait until you've just about got a turtle head, and have someone stick a funnel in your ass to pour in some vegetable oil. Then they get a mixer or a whisk and jam it in there so they can work the contents until your colon is full of frothy emulsion.

DS1 and BB may be objectively better, but you’re right, DS2 is the most fun.

Interesting

I think those were a parody of the call of cthulhu trope that there is forbidden knowledge that will instantly murder you and half your family.

I assume for parody and not played straight because there is so few of them they feel like an after thought rather than an enemy with a purpose.

Is there a single Souls game that wasn't rushed in some shape or form? You'd thin they'd learn their lesson after DS1 and DS2

Unironically more difficult than 90% of the bosses in the entire series.

bloodborne maybe. at least it felt the most "complete"

sekiro if you want to count that as well

how the fuck is it not artificial difficulty when its the exact same gimmick?

bloodborne's short as fuck

most things after cathedral ward are a slog too

it's not, the jailers lower your max HP over time from being around them, the winter lanterns cause frenzy if they are facing you
play the game, retard

nah, it wasn't short and it was appropriately long unlike Bloated Souls 2
also best part of the game is past cathedral ward, retard

The first one you run into I always just cheese it on the doorway. The one you run into at the castle later I think I skipped on some playthroughs. Those things are fucks for sure

everything besides the DLC has a huge drop in quality

It's still great though, and the DLC is far better than anything in the base game.

just use ranged weapons or something big enough to knock them over

yet its the best game in the genre, next to DS1.

This.

The other games aren't even worth entertaining. DS2 is clunky and uninspired, and DS3 is a dull and boring mess that tries so hard to be DS1 it ends up feeling like a fangame. Not to mention that it fails completely by just misapplying the formula. Like how in 1 you'd get halfway through the game before seeing your first mimic and 3 feels like half the chests are mimics. Just amateurish.

>DS1 and BB

By abandoning the "genre" altogether and start working on their mecha games, tbf (to be frank).

That doesn't even make any sense. DS1 is literally eight years old, and BB isn't even the newest title.
Also, both are the highest rated and most beloved games.

Sekiro is literally dead and buried as far as Soulslike discussion goes.
And as stated, 2 is only talked about when its time to go "fuck you I liked it" or "fuck this is bad!" once again.
And furthermore, 3 is only played because its the latest game in the franchise and therefore the most active.
Its a shallow shitshow of a game compared to 1

Not even DaS 2 was gutted this badly.
God I fucking hate 3 so much, it's such a shit game. I mean it's Souls and I like Souls so I will play it but that's the fucking trick, that's why they did what they did to 3, because they knew us cucks will eat it up.
But oh my fucking god I hate 3 so much, what an extreme disappointment, through and through. It's the MGS V of the Soulsborne series.

Everywhere you go in 3, you look at it, you hope you get to explore it and learn a lot of interesting lore but nope, it's just a fucking linear, boring fucking levels with boring visuals and completely nonsense, hodge podge pseudo-lore.
I don't care how much you hate DaS 2 but at least that game had a fucking coherent and consistent lore and every single area had a story to tell dispersed through the many item descriptions in the game. Meanwhile DaS 3 is just:

Dark souls 3 is good you fucking autistic sperg.

Um...I never had an issue with these guys? You literally just walk up to them and mash the attack button.

Dark Souls 3 is absolute, complete and utter fucking trash. You're blinded by the metrick fuckton of fanservice and franchise references to ignore the fact that it's a complete train wreck.

Attached: i shrk ur mom.png (341x431, 303K)

All souls games are half finished messes, BB just manages to look and feel more finished.

Playing DS3 for the first time right now and I agree. It feels soulless and the fangame remark is remarkeably on point.

Level design is really boring and all the enemies and bosses feel like its just a fan edit of something prior. Its like
>remember Gwyn?
>lets have him ride a dragon!
Or how Friede is a literal Naruto character. I think thats why DS1 is so addictive and iconic. Look at Iron Giant or Gaping Dragon: just a huge dude/dragon, 3-4 different attacks and go. DS3 bosses in comparison are just overdesigned shlock.
I think that's why Dancer is the most iconic of the bunch, because it has this slow and deliberate feel of DS1 bosses.

And the DS1 throwbacks just feel phoned in and unnecessary. Especially Anor Londo. The game would've been way better off if they had just done the DS2 approach.

>Ruin knights are present
Huh?
>Vendrick is mentioned
Nowhere does his name even appear in DS3
>Alsanna is heavily implied....
Once again, there’s no proof of any of this. The only DS2 references are Gilligan and the Earthen Tower

because Sekiro is a single player game you fucking zoomer

Literally every single From game has like 95% of the original content cut off. DS1 has, DS2 haws, DS3 has (a lot) and Bloodbotne has shit ton of content cut off as well. I don't get it. But that's Japan devs I guess every single studio or company in Japan needs to have some retarded thing going on

Dark Souls is about less is more, is that what you're saying?

Attached: DS3 vs DS1.png (1134x900, 90K)

DaS3 is the most complete and consistent game in the series. There are no bad areas, no bad bosses, no broken mechanics. It's way cleaner and more polished than the earlier games.
None of this is a matter of opinion, mind you.

Literally the worst post in this whole thread.
>The latest game is Dark Souls remastered
Is this really suppoed to be an argument? Are you really trying to argue that people leave a new game for a remaster of a game they already played to death for half a decade?
>went back to the superior game after a month.
Good for the Bloodborne playerbase I guess.

Sekiro actually managed to turn out to be a complete and coherent package of a game, go figure. I mean I'm sure there's a thousand pieces of concept art that didn't make it into the game, but they actually managed to wrap up the game so it doesn't feel like it has an abrupt and phoned in end-game like every Soulsborne they've made.

Bad faith argument. Especially not considering console versions. Plus, stop trying to act as if the remaster is actually the latest game. And came out too close to 3 to have any impact on that regard, and its not even wanted in the first place.

>God you're so boring man.
I don't know what you want me to tell you. DS3 is really not a good game. Its boring and uninspired. It feels like a game made with a Souls Generator.
Enjoy your time with it user, I don't care, but stop pretending that its something it isn't.

I used to invade the jail and hang around the jailers while dressed as a jailer.

It was fun.

keep rollin rollin rollin rollin rollin what

When you look at it objectively and stop spouting the same shit every retard does, DaS2 is better than 3 in almost every way except graphically, more unique locations, enemies, freedom to go wherever the fuck you want, a shit fucking ton of weapons, spells, and armor.

I mean 2 was clearly rushed, and is lacking in a few departments, but it's still truer to the original game and to DeS than 3 is, both it and 3 could've done much much better given more development time.

i get the feeling tomoe was cut out

Are you really that stupid? Is this really somehing that needs spelling out? Because I really wanna believe that you know exactly why this is nonsense, but you just wanna have an argument and its an easy one to use. But this trust in you is actually fading quickly..

The fact that it's more polished doesn't make it not shit and that's the only factual thing you've stated.

>complete
Literally posted in the thread earlier how incomplete it is based on evidence.

>coherent
fuck you, contrarian troll, Andre sitting in Firelink for no fucking reason sure is coherent, what a fucking retard you are

>no bad areas
Literally every area that isn't Undead Settlement is absolutely fucking garbage. Levels have no nuance to them, you DON'T. EVER. HAVE. to explore levels, you just kill the enemies and collect the obviously dispersed loot, the one exception being the Archives, but in turn that area is fucking linear and therefore gay and retarded and stupid and fucking retarded and gay and if you call linear DaS areas good, you're gay and fucking retarded and gay.

Seriously, you cannot be a healthy human being and also say that DaS 3's linear levels are good. That's a fact. You want facts I gave you a huge fact right there.

>no broken mechanics
A fucking illusion of an argument, none of the games had "broken" mechanics, what the fuck do you even want to prove? Nevermind I'll translate: "DaS 3's brand of shitty online PvP is the one that works for me, so it's not broken."
All 3 games have weird fucking combat quirks and their own nuanced-via-horseshit PvP imbalanced fuckoldery.

You are either a contrarian fucklord or a childish fucking imp who looks at DaS 3's "ABLOO ABLOO NEXT GEN NEXT GEN" cosmetic improvements and gets fooled into thinking it's an amazing game for it.

also, thats nothing unusual at all. almost all games have a lot of planned content cut once the development starts or they realize they wont finish it in time, or it doesnt fit the game properly, as liteally any game artbook or behind the scenes post-interview shows.

Always the same formula. If you die more than 10 times on any playthrough after your first soulsgame you're a NPC.

If you took away the Metroidvania aspect of the first half of DS1, it would be considered the worst Souls game by a long shot.

Just throw a bomb. They get knocked down and they won't drain your health in that state.

It's the only way to have some actual challenge anymore, by DS3 everyone developed the same playstyle and know how the combat works and no one falls for the same tricks so the enemies need to be bullshit so it doesn't feel like a walk in the park

If you take away the good parts of any game it would be shit

YOOO SWEET! FREE TATS!

Doesn't matter what the backstory of the bosses are if they're boring and tedious to fight.

You can do that with literally any build

But most people won't just because the most common (bad) advice given to new players is to stay under 25% equip load.

95% of the base content was shit dude. Only the now mostly dead PvP was fun.

Maybe soulsbornes aren't for you, user.

Yeah they're too monotonous.

That's more of a show of how OP the black knight halberd is. It has the stagger of a much heavier weapon than other weapons of its class and uses less stamina.

No you can't, most builds can't trade blows with most bosses.

I've beat Artorias in the same way as that webm with full havels and a chaos reinforced club.

They were basically grappling opponents. Once you realize that and respect them they're not so bad. Still deal way more damage than anything else at that point in the game, and they can move faster than the player. Not ultimately unfair but more trying than most common enemies.

ds3 is best in the series and you all know it
ds1 is a great start to the series
ds2 is a shit souls game but an alright game

What does it matter? I beat them all by circle strafing, rolling after they attacked, and then hitting them a few times and repeating the pattern.

>full havels and a chaos reinforced club.
And your point is? That weapon also has absurd poise break for its swing speed, and high bleed to boot. You're just showing that you know how to exploit a game you've probably beaten 10+ times. Any game is subject to being a walk in the park at that point.

i wanna cum on MiB's feet

The point was that any build can do it, sweetie.

The Doll isn't the first attempt at making artificial life. There were multiple failed attempts before her. The failed attempts turned into those things because Gehrman basically crammed forbidden knowledge into them in an attempt to give them a mind and soul. Turns out playing god with aliens and elder gods gets messy.

That point's inherently moot because you're assuming that the player has knowledge of all of the game's equipment and how to acquire it and abuse it.

Nightmares/Dreams are distorted projections/parallels of the Waking World. The winter lanterns are simply grotesque, distorted projections of the Doll.

I don't understand why people care so much about not dying in these games. Just do the thing instead of complaining that you lost.

Haha prepare to die amirite guise. Ds3 must be hard like the first one for the fans that want deaaaaath. What? The players now understand how the game woksand how to play properly? Take their health to 1 and also add enemies that are borderline impossible to beat as melee.

But that's why it's good. It makes you have to play around the enemy's style, instead of just playing one style the entire game.

>borderline impossible to beat as melee.
such as?

It's not like heavy armor is particularly hard to find

Ever tried to beat the dudes that transform into those black things at the start w/o firebombs and at appropriate level. Its stupid even with a shield and without one its actual cancer. Correct me if i am wrong but i don't recall enemies in 1/2 that are that fucked against just being a dude with a sword. I can get behind enemies strong against magic or fire, but even the crystap golems are fair against magic, they might take no damage but at peast they are not a threat. I honeatly believe that a souls game should be at least fair with any playstyle

>the dudes that transform into those black things at the start
there's like two of them and you can easily skip them. You can also kill them before transforming.

>Insight
You got me user

they arent hard to kill

it's literally an extremely tame version of when the asylum demon jumps on you at the start of ds1

It's not really my point. Dark souls 1 and 2 are a breeze to go through with any build and even at sl1 after you play them for a while. I think that the appeal of the games is that you eventually master them and can fuck arround anyway you wish

So I guess we can agree that 1>2>3. Where does sekiro fit in this line? I would place it on par with 1.

ds3 is significantly easier than the first imo.

*blocks your path*

Also I didn't really like the armor sets in 3, it all feels kinda bland and soulless, I remember picking up the mercenary set in farron keep and being like man this is just some other dark brownish blackish armor after picking up 3-4 others before hand when playing the first time. Dark souls 2 and 1 but less so had much much better looking gear

Only hard thing about ds1 is demon ruins and maybe tomb of the giants if you don't know your way

> No bad areas

Almost every single area in the game is a slog to get through in subsequent playthroughs, each time it gets worse

> No bad bosses

Ballsack Tree? Wolnir? Wyvern?

Why do people think that cut content is some sort of affront when it's a natural part of every game? You cannot make a video game without going back on some ideas that didn't turn out well.

how the fuck is demon ruins hard

>each time it gets worse
yeah its called ng+, ng++ etc

Only enemy I can't figure out. I don't think I've ever killed one without taking damage at least once.

pyromancy

Ds3>BB>Ds2>ds1>DeS

tis weak to fire

Idk maybe two taurus demons at the same time. And I am kinda pushing it, you need to really think about it to find a hard area in ds1

even blighttown is a cakewalk once you know where to go

seaths library is the only place i actually notice get harder with subsequent playthroughs

Don't even need a bow. My first build is always STR/FTH and these fucks died absurdly fast to lightning.

What is supposed to be bullshit about archives?
It's literally one of the best areas in the series

The hardest part when first playing dark souls is figuring out how the upgrade system works

it's dull as fuck

no u

based dook

Its so boring that all of my motivation for playing goes away after killing o&s the same with the other post lord vessel areas

it really is a slog to get through. i dread having to spend the time to go through it and always do it last when getting the boss souls because it's just soooooo fucking dull!

Grand archive is DaS3
Duke's is DaS1

i will shut my god damn mouth then

Yeah sorry. Duke's the the boring one, grand archives is just mildly annoying

Wait a minute
Is that the Watchdog of the Gods?

The problem with this guys is their fuck huge hitboxes that can get you even your behind them.

Since when do they have a grab? they just stare at you and die when you touch them lightly.
The health drain is cool but just wait until it grows back and don't heal it. they only take max hp and not current.
