Anyone complaining about reused assets isn't a true fan.

I hope they keep using the same "open heavy door" animation till the day I die.

My only issue with W3 was the poo poo combat (IMO!!!) so if it's that with Souls combat I am 110% in.

Yeah, the PC will better even with a 1050. I have a 1070 and run DS3 maxed out at 3440 ultrawide (with INI hack).

PS4 non-pro is too limiting.

DS2 just feels jank. Maybe tainted by plowing through DS1 remastered and DS3 which are more modern. DS2 just looks ands sounds so bad. Not even talking about the music which is fine. Majula theme though isn't as soothing as Firelink which reminded me of Diablo 2's Tristram.

Once you get used to the jank it's fine though - Scholar does make the game a little simpler too.

I really wonder how people play these games when stuff like the clowncar door can be easily handled by: using the explosives right next to the door or backing up to the narrow hallway about one inch away from the door you just came in by to force them into single file where they can be take out with little to no trouble if you've been remotely keeping up on upgrading your weapon (there is even a blacksmith thirty feet away from this room). Do people just insist on standing in one place and fight everything at once?

The game, IMO, wasn't designed around you fighting 5-6 enemies at once. You can bait the ones down the stairs and you'll get 3 running at you most times. The room to the left there's 5 that will come rushing out and hopefully you can run out to the ledge to get them one at a time but it's still overwhelming and the majority will just rush in trying it out a couple times. Plus their greatswords have some pretty crazy reach.

There is no other encounters like that in the game too. The ninja knights in Iron Keep aren't all that bad and more spaced out - plus by that point you should be okay with 2-3 shotting them.

Sometimes all it takes is a very nice voice going over things to make lots. He credits a lot of people now so maybe back in the day when he first started but I guess he never updated those videos.

He's a huge part of the popularity of the Souls series.

I’ve tried 4 separate times to get into Sekiro and it just isn’t for me. The latest last month. The combat just doesn’t click for me with the bigger enemies. I feel stressed and not like I’m having any fun compared to the Souls series and Bloodborne.

More power to those who like it and I’m glad Elden Ring isn’t really like it.

any other preference for a game in the series i'd take seriously, but the guy praising the DeS remake is obviously trolling, that poo poo is like "lol what's art design"

*walks up to the counter at gamestop*

"hello yes i would like to purchase diablo's souls please"

🤫🤫

Aside from the UI the updates are awesome. The armors and weapons look great. Bosses are incredible. They actually listened to people and made Flame Lurker more like his original. Game is loving gorgeous esp on a 4K HDR screen.

So if you haven’t played it cause you think it’s ugly then RIP you.

You proceed at a snails pace in there but it's not too bad. Blighttown 2.0 and the poison area after I feel are infinitely worse esp if you're early in the game. Just lovely areas to go through.

I hit a wall on my hex guy as I cannot beat the Fume Knight - my dark spear is to loving slow and casting on him is not safe. PLUS I missed 2 things to take out the fire girls on the outside so I have to move him to one side. Gonna go back to my tried and true big smasher but thats really far back so taking it slow.

Also also - they will improve the PS5 performance - they have to.

I'd like to play pubg again but I know it's probably filled with superstars who can snipe me across the map. That game was fun when it first came out - my friend turned me onto it and the thrill/anxiety you'd get as you scurried like rats for a gun was incredible. Nothing really felt like it at the time. I only came close to winning a couple times but drat was it great.
