Now that the dust has settled

What went wrong?
>>
not a sony exclusive
>>
>>332204740
With the final speckles of dust finally settling, I think we can all agree DaS3 is crap and the second worst in the series.
>>
not a pc exclusive
>>
Not an iOS exclusive
>>
They forgot to release it in the west
>>
>>332204740
Now that the dust has apparently settled based on what im hearing I think that I can finally put an end to my inner thought and agree to the mass consensus that the board /v/ has come to and agree with them on every point that states that the game is probably absolute garbage even though 99% of them have probably not played the game and neither have I.
>>
The enemy placement continues the philosophy from Dark Souls 2 and relies on large amounts of enemies and constant ambushes, I'm already at that damn winter town but I'm just fucking exhausted at how tedious it is because they keep throwing so many fucking mobs at you. I feel the enemy placement is worse than DS2 because ambushes are just so constant that they aren't even fun anymore and this is coming from someone that played through DS2 multiple times.
>>
>>332204740

>>
>>332205384
I'm not saying it has to be 1 on 1 encounters all the time but playing through 3 actually is a chore, you're constantly traversing a level activating enemy ambushes and every fight is a constant 3+ enemies at least with at least 1 of them spamming a projectile. The worst area I've been through so far was the fucking Cathedral with fucking enemies all over the place constantly dropping from the ceiling or climbing up from the rooftops, it didn't help that the boss was actually a fucking trash mob boss that had so many constant respawning enemies that it would drop your framerate.

As someone who hasn't played any souls game I have to admit Dark Souls 3 is absolutely the worst in the series and just a shitty experience overall. What were they even thinking?

Nothing. Just when I was thinking the bosses were too easy Nameless King shows up and puts an end to that real quick.

Stop being a nigger and actually address the gameplay. How is it good design to have so many fucking enemy "ambushes" that it becomes predictable and not even close to fun? All the area did was throw trash that was easy to kill and it was more tedious than anything else.

He may not, but butthole face giants are still canon, one of the Seed of Giants trees is right outside Firelink with a Giant corpse on it.

Easily on par with dark 1. Areas are well designed but are a bit more linear than 1 but still have plenty of shortcuts. Bosses are great save maybe 2 of them. Tons of cool armors and weapons and fun to play. Can't read moon so I can't say how good the lore Is

It references both games, you mong. It just references DS1 more because of muh fan service. You've literally shown no fucking evidence whatsoever to support your claim, now fuck off.

It's actually the best in the souls series. There's an actually reasonable difficulty curve that escalates as you continue the game, with the only notable jumps (or pitfalls) in difficult being with pontiff (probably the third most difficult boss of the game), Yhorm (for being an easy as fuck gimmick boss), and Nameless King (an optional boss, but the hardest in the entire series, Old Hunters included). All the bosses are also amazing, and even bosses like Yhorm which don't surmount any challenge are still atmospherically great or fun due to interesting twists. The only not well done bosses in the game are probably old demon king (Dude asylum demon + firesage LMAO) and ancient wyvern (basically dragon god 2.0 + trash mobs defending the path you need to take). Other than that all the bosses are great.
>>
>>332209801

They faded from the memory of those in Drangleic, because they're no longer relevant.
By the time of Dark Souls 2 they were all either dead from CU, or the remainders (such as Gwyndolin) became goo food for Aldritch.

This was literally never stated in DaS 2 you retard.

It was always more likely that the giants of DaS 2 came from Lordran, and that Drangleic invaded Lordran to kill them off.

Yes, how about you fucking read it.
Champion Gundry went to save the first firekeeper, but was too late. Your character in the present kills him. His armor then sits there, and is used by the abyss when you face off against him in the future as Iudex Gundyr.

Time to school all the kiddies on this thread. Get them ready for Dark Souls 3.

Dark Souls is the single deepest, most challenging, most skill-based game ever created. There is not a single other game in any genre that comes close to the level of skill Dark Souls requires.

This is why Dark Souls threads are the best, most intelligent threads on /v/. Only the smartest, brightest, and most patient people post in them. Essentially, the very best of humanity posts in them.

Conversely, the only people who don't like Dark Souls clearly don't have the skills to handle its depth. It is too hardcore for them. That's okay though. Games like Halo exist for people like them. Dark Souls Hunter fans are too good to hold grudges.

It's not that good. Levels are too small and weapon balance is atrocious. Not bad for an indie game though.

Manus was the furtive pygmy, basically. The guy who find THE dark soul, A.K.A humanity
>>
>>332217919
Balance is about on par with Dark Souls 1. More enemy variety too. The world is about the same size, except the levels are shorter, there are just more levels.
>>
>>332218104
You can't really compare 2d to 3d world size like that.

I'm up to the castle of storms boss, how far through the game am I roughly?

The magic is gone, I'll buy it for the PvP if anything, lore is whack.

Bloodborne did it better, but that was a fresh new entry to the series. From's strength are new IPs which leads me to believe that Bloodborne 2 will be about as bland as Dark Souls 2.
IF that ever happens, that is.
>>
>>332204740
After watching a Japanese LP I definitively say it's the best game in the franchise.
>>
>>332218442
By that logic Dark Souls 1 should have been bland as it was a sequel.

It was pretty bland though so I guess you're right.

>>332218442
Dark Souls 2 was better than Dark Souls 1 in a lot of ways though.
>>
>>332218557
Dark Souls was a new IP.

It was only a spiritual successor, not an actual sequel.
>>
>>332218670
Yes, but not in the ways that matter most.
>>
>>332218785
I disagree.

>>332218673
Nigga it was practically a shot for shot remake of Demon Souls. Every single trick and plot twist was straight from DeS.
>>
>>332218673
>>332218661

How are you even going to begin to say Dark Souls is a new IP?

The only reason they didn't call it Demons Souls 2 is because they couldn't. It's like almost the same fucking game in every way just reworded.
>>
>>332218851
There's a reason it's Dark Souls not Demons' Souls 2.

They don't own the IP for Demons' Souls, that's why they made Dark Souls as a new IP that they actually own.
>>
>>332218670
lore, level and game design were not some of those ways

There's Half-Human statues around Lothric that have an "in-transformation" primordial serpent head. There's also statues in Lothric that depict knights self-decapitating.

Then you have the dark-Firelink and the time travel fuckery.

Seems pretty obvious they'll explore that in the DLC.

Or at least I hope they do. If they don't it'll be a massive disappointment for me.

I thought game design was where it had a head up on Dark Souls 1. Level design was on again, off again. Its worst levels were nowhere near as bad as the shit levels in Dark Souls 1. But it didn't read Dark Souls 1's best levels. Far better on average even if the highs weren't as high.

DkS2's lore was weak but the whole series has pretty weak lore, sadly.
>>
>>332204740
Much like me, it was too short and came too early.

Streamers such as harryninetyfour already played game thru twice...its shit m8.
>>
>>332219254
But how can we say the game is worth judging until games journalism judges it for us? What if FromSoft doesn't give IGN enough money for a 7/10? What if someone at Kotaku decides part of it is sexist?
>>
>>332219443
Frigid Outskirts reminded me of the average Dark Souls 1 level. Big empty field, tedious boring walk to the boss. Only DkS2 level I'm never going to go back to beat.

There's no way Earthen Peak is as bad as shit like Duke's Archives/Crystal Caves, Anor Londo, or Old Londo Ruins, not even counting Shitzalith.

It was well designed, it just had performance problems. It wasn't the only place that had performance problems either.

There wasn't really too much of DkS1 that was poorly designed. It was really just the non-dlc post-anor londo boss fights were a bit underwhelming and bed of chaos was just bullshit. Other than that it was excellent and a far step above the lazy shit design DkS2 got.

Blighttown upper level wasn't too bad. The bottom floor swamp was pretty emblematic of Dark Souls 1's lazy-ass level design though.
>>
>>332220089
>shaded woods

Seriously? There's nothing good about that area. Level design is simple as hell with almost no alternate routes, it's all a flat plane, looks ugly as shit and has no worthwhile enemies. Even the boss is forgettable.

If you hated the design philosophy of the adaptability stat and you hated how imprecise the controls felt in comparison, then yes. DS3 is pretty great to play.
