The Painted World is the only level that comes close to any of the levels from Demon's Souls, and that's only because it was made first when they had money.

Okay.

Thanks for listening.

I just wish there were more places like this and Ash Lake (not even near as playable, but with tons of effort in design and thought put into it) that just makes you stop a wonder for a while.

I was really expecting something close to it in DaS 2, only to be utterly dissapointed.

That makes zero sense as Demon's was made with a shoestring budget.

New Londo is my absolute favorite.

I really like Blightown too. Yeah, it has serious fps issues at times but it also gives you this feeling that it's not only the enemies that wanna kill, it really is the world that wants to kill you. Very few levels ever achieved that

Demon's and izalith are clearly rushed
>>
>>261218468
Bullshit, im half way through Demons souls and so far pretty much every level has been bland and boring looking apart from tower of latria and the first part of shrine of storms, nearly every part of Dark Souls was more interesting than Demons Souls
>>
>>261218468
Quite the contrary, they made the painted world last or close to the end to shove all the shit in that wouldn´t fit into the main course of the game.

There's a hack that lets you use a crazy set of attacks that weren't implemented for some reason. Possibly meant to be included in future DLC.

It gives you crazy Heihachi move sets including a leg sweep, a fireball and a drop kick.

I'm a level 170 something and I always let them hit me and if they don't do too much damage I switch to thorn set and a wood grain ring to annoy them. it's hilarious getting invaded in the burg by some level 12 shitter doing 3 damage per hit
>>
>>261223064
Blight Town is honestly my favourite, though I played through it on the PC version with no framerate drops.

Just the sheer atmosphere and the feeling of terror as you navigate the vertical maze of dilapidated town not knowing whether you'd be ambushed or not. And if you got invaded, well prepare for the most tense experience ever.

Nearly every level is a straight line if you trivialize it like that. It has as much to explore as any other level.
It's the cool architecture and the intimidating hugeness that makes it good. Also the shortcut is pretty cool.

Im usually over leveled from doing toher bosses because fuck O&S by the time I get to anor so no invasions for the rest of the game

Yeah I loved that about Blighttown. I always thought it was night out, but then I looked up and realized that its still light out and the darkness iwas just from how deep you were in the ground. I also liked seeing the lower foundation and support structures of the Burg integrated into the level like the bonfire in the cove

Also, as far as those mosquitos, I found the most luck dealing with them by using throwing knives, i carry 99 when i first go down into blgihttown
or (perhaps the best way)

Nah, Dark Souls had a lot of great locations, enhanced by their connectivity with eachother. DeS meanwhile was a place I remember having a couple of cool buildings but full of bland dark places with little in the way of scenery and especially lacking in variety.

Dark Souls 2 is just all over the place. A few places make me happy but it's a very few. Other places are way too straitforward or way too bland in their design. They tried to do the same all 1 map thing that Dark Souls 1 did, but it was extremely sloppy with geometry making no sense. For example, how the fuck did I reach the top of a windmill and then take an elevator up to a castle right outside a volcano? This shit has no build up.

I'm playing Demon's Souls and while the art direction is even better than Dark Souls, and the Tendency system is a neat idea that never really gets well executed, some technical problems and design concepts mar the experience for me.

And by this I mean the Allant fight - trudging back to him takes significant time due to powerful enemies you have to take on carefully, then there's an elevator ride and a humongous fps drop during the bossfight. On top of all, Miyazaki's idea of punishing the player is making the boss delevel him. This shouldn't be hard to avoid, but sometimes my inputs get all jumbly because the framerate confuses me, and he teleports his grab when my roll finishes, depleting souls. That and weapons like scraping spear are pretty pointless design. I don't want a game that introduces more tedious crap, I just want a challenge. And by tedious crap I mean anything to do with crafting. Holy shit, did the Monster Hunter do it well compared to any other game. Yes, I'm aware of Stockpile Thomas exploit but it would further ruin the experience. Getting ores is such a pointless chore though.

Except for MH, did any game do crafting well, and didn't just use it as padding? Because it's the worst element of Souls games.

As for Dark Souls areas:

God Tier: Blighttown, Burg/Parish

High Tier: Depths, Fortress, ToG, PW, Catacombs

Mid Tier:
Darkroot, Londo (New and Anor)

Shit Tier:
everything else

Demon's Souls is way above Dark in terms of level design. And DaS 2 looks like something Blizzoware would make.

I play on ps3, and I get invaded at least once each level if I go through it unhollowed the entire time. The twink builds that constantly invade int he Perish get aggravating though. Because of that, every play through i do, I spend 1-3 hours jumping around to different high level areas to grab end game spells and gear, just so i have a fighting chance against invaders when i start doing the main quest thing. Like, I'll have wrath of the gods in the first hour or two of my faith build playthroughs.
