Is there anything more to the gameplay than attack, dodge?
Is the Souls series to action games what Just Cause is to sandbox games - just the basic mechanics?
yes, there is more to the gameplay than that.
>>329133017
well thats good to hear. thank you.
Yes its attack and dodge timing with stamina management, there's isnt much more to it.

great thread
>>329133081
when you are good, you never think about stamina again. so no.
good analogy. Also what doom and half life are to shooters - bare bone basic mechanics.
HL2 was just a mess.
>>329132957
You can do this with any genre if you break it down.
>Fps? is there anything you do but shoot and reload
>Rts? is there anything you can do but build and send troops?
>Board games? Is there anything you do but roll and move?
>>329132957
There is also the ancient techniques of circle strafe and heal.
>>329132957
Well it's a medieval fantasy world, so your options are limited to the basic shit you see in any other RPG.
>melee weapons, (sword, shield, axe, mace. etc)
>bow and crossbow
>various schools of magic, (holy / fire, etc)
Defensively, you can roll around and dodge if you want, or go more tanky and eat attacks with your shield. There are dozens of shields with various resistances against fire and shit.
what else could you possibly want?
>>329133414
fps: what about multiple ways of accomplishing tasks like in Deus ex?
rts: what about macroing and countering the enemy's tactics and units?
do you even play games?
>>329133364
HL2 is still the second best FPS ever made
>>329133567
every tactic against is the same for every enemy. Dodge, attack.
>>329133739
as opposed to what else?
>>329133821
as opposed to not playing such a bland game?
>>329133567
> tanking in dark souls
Lol
>>329133973
>as opposed to not playing such a bland game?
as opposed to such bland bait.
give an example of a better medieval fantasy game
>>329132957
You can parry.
>>329133973
Oh I get it, you're a child pretending to be 18
>>329133567
why would you want to use anything else but a greatsword and dodging when you have to grind for that? in deus ex you can find everything literally every possible way to play lying on the floors and hidden in crates.
>>329133567
>what else could you possibly want?
If I asked people what they wanted, they would say faster horses

thief 1, 2, 3.
the only good dark souls game is the first one
I preferred demon's to it though but they're both solid. haven't played bloodborne but it looks great
>>329134228
>why would you want to use anything else but a greatsword and dodging when you have to grind for that?
greatswords are too slow for me. I prefer curved swords, especially in pvp.
>>329134320
>no pvp
eh
>>329134331
Das1 is the worst souls game though.
>>329134282
there's a word for complaining without offering a specific solution.
It's called whining.
>>329133146
That's not true at all, it just becomes second nature.
>>329134331
das1 is shit compared to 2, i was playing it with a friend last week and holy shit did it age like milk
the rolling especially is stupid, glad das3 has das2 style rolling
>Is combat in system shock 2 really just clicking with a wrench?
>Is there more to gameplay in Red Orchestra than shooting people
>Why do I have to jump so much in Mario?
When you say it like that OP of course it sounds bland, but the core gameplay for many games can be describes simply.
>>329134641
>the wrench is the only mechanic in ss2

>>329133739
isn't that the tactic for any combat-based game?
>>329136980
for fighting games, dota and rts games it isnt
rolling
>>329137390
>fighting games
dodge, block, attack
woah
>>329137881
yolo rollo
>>329133614
what aout trying different strategies and weapons in dark souls? what about countering enemy's moves with parries?
dop you even play video games???
>>329134320
You cant even compare the two! Thief is a stealth game, DkS is an arpg. Its the same as comparing Starcraft and DOTA 2.
>>329133414
>Board games? Is there anything you do but roll and move?
board game design has improved considerably since monopoly
>>329137881
roll
>>329133739
>Block
>Tank
>Magic
>Parry
>Run away
>Items
That without the fact that every weapon and magic has a different playstyle that you should be aware of, the game's bland if you have a bland strategy.
OP, git gud and you'll start liking the game and discovering its mechanics.

Fuck it I'm bored and anything to get off this cesspool for a while.
Roll'em
Theres a weird new system where you can change your stamce with a weapon and change its moveset for a period of time. Thats the new gimmick
>>329137881
rolling
>>329133739
Man, I hate how the strategy is the same for every enemy in every video game.
It's always deal damage to the enemy while avoiding taking damage yourself. We need some innovation here m8e.
>>329137881
I fucking hate these rolls because they always make me interrupt my current character
