Yeah the game that opens with  screaming at you about how much you'll die with the first achievement being This Is le heckin Dark Souls when you die for the first time definitely has more bushido honor than DS3 or whatever you want to call this new DS2 copium

Dark Souls 1 has extra unique features that tell you when other players are making progress, like hearing the bells ringing. Dark Souls 2 has a giant monument to failure in the hub zone.

From DeS through to Elden Ring, they're all good, though best at different things except Sekiro, gently caress that piece of poo poo

Sekiro owns, getting the lightning parry makes you feel like a god, Shinobi Tools are one of the better ways to do Castlevania-style sub-weapons in a game. It is, admittedly, really loving hard. Monathin fucked around with this message at 09:02 on Aug 6, 2023 |

I fell off Surge 1 pretty hard. I want to like the aesthetic and vibe, but the combat just wasn't there for me. a_gelatinous_cube posted:DS3 was fulling Fromsoft buying into the DARKSOULS IS HARD PREPARE TO DIE memes and full of bullshit fakeout attacks and non-stop attack strings with no openings.

Wheresas I feel like my memory of Fume Knight was like "oh this guy wont give me a break and has hitboxes the size of loving texas" but honestly, I barely loving remember that part of DS2.

Yeah, I liked the ideas they were playing with, but I ended up not really enjoying it despite beating it. I thought I might like Surge 2 better due to its wider customization options, but I fell off that maybe halfway through

Yardbomb posted:I don't think I've ever noticed enough of a difference in walking around between any of the Soulses lol DS2 really does have the worst movement of all of the DS/Bloodborne/Elden Ring games. It's the only common complaint I've seen about the game that I'll acknowledge as legitimate and not just pissbaby echo-whining. That and tracking overheads. And the technical failure of the lighting design which does undermine what should have been some spectacularly atmospheric areas. Overall it's a really good game that got slaughtered by lackwits who, for want of original opinions of their own, just repeated the words of influencers who were confused by how studios work, and also somehow didn't understand the series' recurring theme of time/space/reality becoming dreamlike & collapsing in on itself.

Yardbomb posted:DS3 always lost me tbh, cause yeah just Pat trying to pretend he hasn't played ahead while blatantly having played ahead, along with him having looked up actual meta gear poo poo and so on sucked a lot of fun out for me, I don't care that he's not dying enough or something, but even Matt or Woolie points it out a couple times that the game might as well be playing on autopilot when Pat outlevels every area by like 20 levels and is using some of the best weapons in the game at the time, I dunno, Souls games aren't that fun for me to watch when it feels like the discovery and all challenge is gone, even if there were still some funny moments. This would make it doubly funny to me for things like Skeleton Ball. Pat getting his poo poo absolutely wrecked by this thing over and over - and going through the dungeon entirely without actually figuring how how to stop the ball, either. If Pat was full selling all that, kudos to him
