Does it get better sometime soon? I got obsessed with the metroidy world in DS1 but never rated DS2 enough to finish it. Ds3 is like a greatest hits of locations from earlier games and your feelings are the same as mine i got so bored i never played the last dlc. I'll have to finish that off before the ds remaster i suppose.

I'm an outlier when it comes to Souls opinions because I think the Ringed City DLC would have been better if it had taken place entirely in the Dreg Heap, an area many people think is the worst in the series. I thought it was super loving cool. But then I also like the Gutter and Upper Blighttown (gently caress the bottom).

exquisite tea posted:Real answer is that Sony commissions fledgling studios to do these remasters because they don't have to spend a whole lot of money supporting a large team and they're comparatively low-risk projects over building an entirely new game.

Even before the DLC DS2 always had the best story. Lore? Not really but the game wasn't really about lore which is why I feel so many people think its writing is "bad". Thematically its loving amazing with how it touches on the nature of memory and sense of worth. You have to put a lot of thought into that though which most people don't want to do. They just wanna read item descriptions and think that is amazing writing and nothing more. Yeah I'm getting elitist about Soulsborne writing.

Perhaps Nintendo made some kind of deal with the Spyro folks that they wouldn't officially announce the Switch version until E3 during their Direct? Some folks in charge of some stuff didn't get the memo about that

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dark Souls. The lore is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Buddhist philosophy most of the lore will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Lothric's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Miura's literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of the lore, to realize that they're not just funny - they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dark Souls truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Solaire's existencial catchphrase "If only I could be so grossly incandescent," which itself is a cryptic reference to Tolkien's Middle Earth epic Lord of the Rings. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Hidetaka Miyazaki's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ?? And yes by the way, I DO have a Dark Souls tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

I finished Tomb Raider Legend. It really feels like a proof of concept for the Uncharted series. The platforming is fun and it's got a couple of neat ideas but no follow through and I'm not sure if it's due to a lack of ideas, talent or technology. The story is horrendous though. Completely abject terrible. And it cuts off just as the real meat of the story starts. It's like there should be another third to half of the game left.

I never liked the item description approach to storytelling in Dark Souls because instead of making me feel like an archaeologist or whatever it feels instead like somebody printed out Wikipedia articles and scattered them across the land. And the only thing the articles end up saying "poo poo is hosed, yo".

The giants and everything that had to do with them were legit really cool addition to the setting. The game just has a bunch of really flimsy story content when it comes down to everything else than its main themes and the DLCs I feel. I got that feeling of being really interested in the areas I was exploring a lot less in 2 compared to the other games.

Andrast posted:The ringed city was a collection of all the things I dislike about dark souls Ringed City basically highlights that the devs don't entirely understand what makes their game fun, but because of its place in the game (i.e. basically post-endgame) the usual methods of fixing their dumb mistakes by changing how you play are less effective. For example, Dark Souls level exploration and non-boss combat gets vastly more fun when you can kill most enemies in a single combo, maybe two for really tough and significant enemies if you're using a dinky weapon. This is easily achievable for most of the game, but only if you're playing very efficiently in terms of weapon upgrades and staying a little ahead of what was probably the "intended" leveling curve. In Ringed City, this is no longer possible because the enemies are stupid sacks of health and you can't damage past it because you're already hitting the softcaps on damage. (Combined with the fact that leveling up too much is discouraged because it severely limits how much of the multiplayer content you can interact with on that character.) Similarly, Dark Souls has always kinda-sorta incentivized just running through the level instead of taking your time to explore everything and pick up all the loot, but you could trivialize this incentive by playing smarter with regard to conserving estus, getting good enough to not take hits from enemies, and just clearing everything before you run around getting the goodies and seeing the sights. Ringed City, of course, is full of enemies that take a million years to fight, or attack you from angles where you can't retaliate, or which respawn if you take your time, or all of the above. It's the same incentives as before, except enforced way more harshly so that taking your time is a huge pain in the rear end to the point where the game all but forces you to play the other way. Also the bosses are mostly lame. Dragon fights are never fun, Spear of the Church is an annoying crapshoot, and while Gael's okay he's kind of overshadowed by the similar but better-executed humanoid bosses in the base game. Demon Prince is a good fight and basically what Abyss Watchers should have been, but that's like one and a half good bosses out of four.

Spears of the Church was the best part of the DLC. It would of been way better though if it was easier to revive the Judicator. I spent hours killing Spears over and over but had to go on 5 minute detours everytime I wanted to fight a new one.

exquisite tea posted:I am so glad everybody gets to talk about Dark Souls again because I don't think I've yet gotten a exhaustive opinion on the series from all 39 people who still post on this forum. It's getting up there, but there's always room for more spicy hot takes and personal rankings. I liked Demon's Souls when I played it in 2010 and put 40 hours into it and finished it. Someone gifted me Dark Souls when it came out for PC and I put maybe around 10 hours into it and beat 3 bosses before getting bored and quitting - the original DeS was kind of an interesting one hit wonder for me and by then I wasn't interested in 40+ hour long slow paced games anymore, especially since I was never a fan of having to lose time running back to bosses even with shortcuts. I had no intention of getting DS2 but someone game shared it with me on the PS3 on release and I probably put maybe two hours into it before getting bored and quitting. I wouldn't bother with a Soulslike again until Bloodborne which I played for 15 hours on release then got bored and never touched again. A month or two later I somehow finished average Soulsclone Lords of the Fallen nearly twice and most of it was because you'd actually start right before the boss area when you died and I liked the setting even if it was nothing special. I bought the DS2 remaster when the price dropped and I wouldn't open it until like a year ago, only to put probably like 10 hours or less into it before getting bored and never touching it again. Thankfully I learned my lesson because I never got around to playing 3 despite someone gifting it to me at some point. Right now I'm playing through The Surge on and off because I like the setting and it'll also probably remain unfinished since the level design is confusing, the bosses are annoyingly hard and for some reason they went back to the Souls respawn-at-safe spot system.

Honestly I've never found appeal in the "never heal never summon" style strict playing for these games because retrying a boss has so much downtime. I'm all for really difficult games as long as they let you jump right back into it when you fail

Never summoning is something I stick too because it makes the bosses way too easy in some cases. If you've ever seen 4 players stunlock Friede in a corner you know what I mean. Never healing is reserved for crazy challenge run seekers.

I think the only longish series I've played every single game in is Fire Emblem so I'm gonna do my hot take rankings of it Thracia 776 Blazing Blade (i.e. Fire Emblem no subtitle) Awakening Sacred Stones Heroes New Mystery of the Emblem Path of Radiance Genealogy of the Holy War Tokyo Mirage Session #FE Conquest Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Mystery of the Emblem Radiant Dawn Birthright Binding Blade Gaiden Shadow Dragon Revelation Akaneia Chronicles (i.e. BSFE) Shadow Dragon and the Sword of Light (i.e. FE1) It was tricky ranking games when they often have huge problems and good parts that don't overlap at all (like, Genealogy and Conquest are almost mutually exclusive in where their good parts are) but this is my hot take and I'm standing by it
