Put a better level, then
>>333306475
>>333305482
That place is a good idea for a level design, but not a good level design. Fucking horses
>>333307429
Pretty good level. I wish 2 had the quality of 1 levels. Sad.
>>333307810
That is 2 you mongrel
>>333307810
I know. But there's not that many good levels. I mean, DS2 levels are pretty good, but DS1 levels are above that.
>>333307810
>had the quality of 1 levels
But literally the only well designed area was Sen's Fortress.
>>333308350
Dude. Don't be like all the /v/fags with that "hurr dark souls 1 is best dark souls 2 is 2/10 durr" but the other way around.
They both have great levels.
Also, Eleum Loyce is my fav.
>>333308543
>dont dislike this and like this except the other way around
also not that guy
>>333308543
No, they don't. The only good areas in Dark Souls were Sen's Fortress and the first look at Anor Londo. Dark Souls 2 was abysmal besides Dragon Aerie and all 3 DLC areas. Generic Western architecture, shittily put together texture work, awful filters, being an absolute chore (not difficult, just boring) to run through are things that marred every other level in those two games.
>>333308674
Yeah. I'm acting like a retard. I'm sorry. Let's just keep posting god tier levels.
>>333308934
Well. I enjoyed both.
>>333308934
I like my fashion souls. Plus 2 runs at 60 fps, which is a big deal for me.
>>333309223
If only Bamco would forgive texture and ENBs...
>>333307810
What am I looking at here? A SMW ROM hack?
>>333309678
Super Mario Bros X
A two-player MarioWorld levels with SuperMario3 worldmaps. Level design (of the original game) is godtier. There are also fanmade games with this. It's also an editor so...
>>333305482
April Fools is over bud.
>>333309936
Looks cool. How hard are the levels? Would my 6 y/o nephew be able to play this?
>>333305482
>>333310262
If he could beat Super Mario 3, he will beat this.
Maybe not all the secrets and hard stuff, but yeah, he would be able to beat it.
>CURRENT YEAR
Pretty much anything from Bloodborne.
DS2's DLC levels were decent but nothing compared to Bloodborne, and surely not enough to save DS2 from the shit it was.
>>333305482
>western/westernized rpgs
>good level design
Oh, that's a good one!
>>333310490
Bloodborne is a little too fanservice. Played it and it was fucking amazing and great, but too edgyfanservicedarklittlekidtwistedpsychopath.
>>333310597

try harder
>>333310473
There are zone-change ladders in TES, possible in Fallout. That's close enough.
>>333310826
He's talking about climbable ladders.
Zone-change ladders are no different from doors, they are in Fallout.
>>333310473
Why do people support this useless fucking company?
>>333310741
It's literally made to appeal to western audience.
>>333310620
do you know what fanservice means?
>edgyfanservicedarklittlekidtwistedpsychopath
since when is Lovecraftian/Gothic VIctorian edgy? Are you physically incapable of speaking English instead of Meme?
>>333311054
Yeah, right. Whatever you say.
>>333305482
my dick.
your mom loves it at least.
>>333310473
it makes sense in TES though since they didn't have ladders back then
I guess they just stuck with it for the fallout games since it just werks
>>333311572
>they didn't have ladders back then
You retarded?
>>333311054
Yeah that's why it took Atlus localizing DeS for it to make it to the West, right?
>>333311824
wow you mean games get localized?
Better discussion: what even is "god-tier level design?" What goes into even good level design?
But anyway I nominate Arch-Violence, Plutopia and Ticket to Eternity from Plutonia 2. If I had to go with one I'd pick Arch-Violence.

hot opinion
>"Generic Western architecture"
Anor Londo is the only thing in Dark Souls that resembled "western architecture"
>"shittily put together texture work"
Example

>"being an absolute chore (not difficult, just boring) to run through"
Sure thing faggot, I liked Dark Souls but the designers picked "chore" in most decisions between ease and chore.
I will say that I was so soured after Lost Izalith that I just wanted to get New Londo and Kiln of the First Flame over with
But there's nothing obviously wrong with any level in Dark Souls like there was Lost Izalith, which was very short, had two uninteresting copy-pasted enemies everywhere and whatever the fuck the Chaos Eater was, and had the worst boss. More on topic, I would of course not say most levels in Dark Souls are anything approaching "God-like"
If anything was really poorly-done with Dark Souls it is total lack of any fuck I give about any character or lore in that game. From the beginning, through Kings Field, through all of Armored Core, and up to the Souls series, From Software could not write a story or characters to save their cocks and balls. Easily the most frustrating part of being a From fan
>>333311572
it's a fantasy setting you fucking autist
they didn't have dragons and magic in the middle ages either
>>333312120
>Anor Londo is the only thing in Dark Souls that resembled "western architecture"
Literally every single area was Western architecture besides Ash Lake.
>Example
Ash Lake, Blighttown, Sewers, Kiln, hell every area has muddy, greasy texture work. The only place that doesn't is Anor Londo.
>What
Blighttown, Forest, Tomb.
>>333311572
>back then
>>333308350
Undead Burg was great you turboqueer.
>>333310473
Honestly a lot of the time I feel weird when I see a ladder in a game, in a lot of them it just feels like poor level design to force you to disable all your abilities except movement for a few seconds instead of a more natural path of jumps or slopes. Only game I can think of where the ladders feel like pretty reasonable additions in spite of that, just because of the environments in which they appear, is Half-life.

Stockpile Thomas
Astraea
Sif
Even fucking Gwyn
>>333310490
Bloodborne also has some really shitty areas too.
Specifically the Forbidden Woods, the Nightmare Frontiere, and Yahar'gul.
>>333315661
>>333319937
i'm glad somebody else caught this
>>333318084
>Forbidden Woods
>Nightmare Frontier
>shit
awful, awful taste. Nightmare Frontier is really cool and otherwordly, and straight out of Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, and Forbidden Woods is fucking huge, really well designed, intense, and has great atmosphere. Forbidden Woods is one of the best areas ever you retard.
I like Yahar'Ghul for the atmosphere and utter madness of the level because it's when the lovecraft first kicks in, but the reused enemies are pretty bad.

How does he keep getting away with it.
