Over time, Dark Souls has become better regarded. Over time, Elden Ring will become less well regarded.

ER is way less replayable than the other souls games for sure just by nature of being an open world

AcidCat posted:Any jackass that says Elden Ring should be played any particular way should be treated like someone playing Doom saying the only real way to play is using only the starter pistol. Like, sorry you refuse to acknowledge that this is the game the developers made, on purpose. No, they never intended you to use Moonveil or Rivers of Blood or Mimic! You love From on one hand but on the other say they are dummos that can't balance their own game. Sorry I'm picking up the BFG they purposefully put in this game and using it, shut the gently caress up. If you summoned to beat a boss, you didn't really beat the boss though.

I would say (and ftr I rarely summon in souls games but the second I stop having fun with a boss I'm fine with it. I'd say I summon for 1-4 bosses per game) 1. Who cares, seriously? good god that is the goofiest thing to care about. How someone plays a game that is basically single player? 2. At least in Elden Ring, you are actually wrong because a bunch of the bosses are harder with a player summon than solo. 3. By that logic, If you ever used an ash summon or OP weapon, or ash of war, you actually beat the boss less than someone summoning another player in ER because that poo poo is more powerful than having another guy or even two other guys and summoning players just turns bosses into absolute tanks. That said, it is annoying when you try and play something as legit as possible and mention it's hard and some guy who used every cheese imaginable is like "actually it was super easy" while never admitting they were just breaking the game as much as possible. Like, just own up to what you used instead of acting like you immediately skilled out of double gargoyles through masterful gaming strats. I got those guys on my second try but it was cause I was spamming bloody slash while my ash summon annoyed them with arrows and they were super easy. But I'm not going to tell someone who is being less of a cheesy gently caress that "ackshually greenhorn, it's quite easy if you pay attention to the pattens and..."

veni veni veni posted:I would say (and ftr I rarely summon in souls games but the second I stop having fun with a boss I'm fine with it.

Unless you like playing the game. Then it's complicated. I liked looking around in FC5, until I can see the entire map and it looks like a cheap diorama (and then got gassed by dirty cultists.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPjMkFlelIU In some of the bigger games like BotW, AC: Odyssey, Farcry, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TqfiDkbZmM GTAV, Skyrim None of that equates to gameplay. And your enjoyment could just come from tightly spaced corridors with excellent writing. Personally, I like the soundscape, the random interactions. Whether it be finding people fishing in FC5 or a disillusioned merchant in Hyrule. e: I just wish someone would make a video of the truly 3d ER map and put it up against Zelda and AC BaldDwarfOnPCP fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Apr 10, 2022 |

I have the original CD still also. I haven't had time to play too much but based on the first couple of missions I'm enjoying it. Last time I played it was when it came out.

Dark Souls and Demon's Souls got the reputation for being very hard because games were totally bitchmade when they came out, it was 360 era where everything was built for super accessibility and you could just button mash your way through every melee game around. The souls games are still difficult games but they have a consistency to them that makes them beatable by just about anyone.

yeah its more if you played dark souls 1 at release with no outside knowledge a lot of its systems are kind of unintuitive and strange like the whole humanity and summoning thing i only just realised today that you can summon both Solaire and Lautrec for the first Gargoyle fight!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvxuSoJIEvs Kingdom Hearts 4 is announced, along with a pile of mobile games you'll have to play for 700 hours to understand the plot. They took Sora and ramped the generic anime design to 100. Hell, everybody introduced in this whole video looks like a default custom character in a PS2 low budget MMORPG. After Kingdom Hearts 3 spent the whole time setting up endless spinoffs and sequels and forgot to tell any sort of coherent or entertaining story (Here, do busy work collecting hundreds of crabs while Jack Sparrow and his buddies have amazing adventures without you! Oh hey, its all the former bad guys now on your side, they spend the entire game in one room just standing around.) I just cant bring myself to give any sort of a drat.

I have a friend who hadn't played a video game in a decade and for some reason I sat him down in front of Dark Souls one day and he played for 4 hours, bought a PS3 the next day with Dark and Demons Souls. To this day he basically only plays Souls games and gets frustrated with everything else cause he doesn't like aiming. So no FPS/TPS or whatever. But he's soloed basically every game Fromsoft has made in the last 13 years multiple times. He bounced off Sekiro though.

If you're bouncing off my description or the twitch-isms of the creator you're skipping a video that is genuinely interesting. It's not made by someone who is making GBS threads on dark souls or someone who is into the gamer identity or whatever, but a marketer talking about From's brand.
