Is there a better more consistently great series than the Souls games?
>>
The souls series is consistently all over the place and I wouldn't call any of them great, even though I do like them.

Monster Hunter

>DeS good
>DaS good
>DaS 2 not as good by a wide margin as DaS
>DaS 3 undetermined

It's a good series, but I'd still rather play the first dark souls over any others.

They are all great and you are judging DS2 on the basis of other souls games. Yes it's not as good as they are, but it's better than most by a wide margin

>>333465723
It's a decent game, but it's not a great game. I'd consider the previous souls games to both be great games.

2 was far enough from the mark next to them that I'm hesitant about 3.
>>
I would say so were it not for DaS2, because dear god was that bad in comparison.
>>
>>333465959
Yeah. It's not great compared to other souls games. That's my point. But in the grand scheme of games it's still a masterpiece
>>
>>333465959
Jap-fag here, don't worry. It's debatable which is better between 1 and 3. My point here is that it's fucking great.

Do you actually think the souls games are masterpieces?

They're unique and enjoyable sure, but loaded to the brim with laziness and flaws, all of them. Dark Souls 2 having more flaws than the rest doesn't make the other games better retroactively.
>>
>>333466175
Are you fucking kidding me they are masterpieces. Expecially when compared to the destitute landscape that is gaming now. They really do harken back to the golden days of gaming

DeS is amazing.
DaS is good.
DaS2 is not so good.
BB is god like.

DaS3 is yet to be determined but as of now DaS2 already ruined the streak.
>>
>>333466056
>But in the grand scheme of games it's still a masterpiece
No, it's not. I'm comparing them in the "grand scheme of games."

the first two games, demon's souls and dark souls, are fantastic, 2 is not close to either of them.

Your use of masterpiece is terribly loose.
>>
>>333466459
Nah bud, they really aren't. Demons Souls is very very rough around the edges, most of its bosses are one dimensional and shitty, and it was poorly balanced. Dark Souls jumps the shark really hard after anor londo and most of its bosses can be ankle hugged to death, and those that can't are gimmick fights.

Dark Souls 2 is dark souls 2.

All of them have abysmal PvP balance.

I would really like to say Legacy of Kain but Blood Omen 2 was garbage.

STALKER has clear sky though so it doesn't really count.

Then again neither does Dark Souls so whatever.

Fuck off, that's way too high. DaS2 is maybe a 2/10 at the most, and that's being generous.

I couldn't tell DaS 2 and 3 apart. Worse than CoD.

Did Dark Souls 2 rape your parents and killed your puppy?

You seem to have some really awful unresolved issues with this game.

inb4 you were one of the autists who broke their controller in shrine of amana

DeS - 8.3
DaS - 9.7

Kill yourself. Seriously fucking kill yourself. DaS2 is absolute shit. There is nothing redeeming about it and the best thing DaS3 did was pretend that DaS2 didn't exist, like it shouldn't.
>>
>>333471581
>He actually fell for the DaS2 is bad meme.
If you want to see what a 2/10 game really is like go look at Early Access.
DaS2 might not be the perfect Souls that people hoped it was, and by all rights is the lowest point in the series, but the fact that itstill can be fun to play and people still enjoy it speaks for itself.
DaS2 is a solid 7-7.5 out of 10, and there's nothing wrong with that, don't be one of those faggots who doesn't play a game if it's not a 9 or a 10.
>>
>>333471496
I'm just predicting my own enjoyment of it from all the things I have read so far, it looks good, but seems to have identity crisis. Though I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

>>333471581
No one says that DaS2 was an amazing game, but it certainly far from being the worst game ever.

DaS3 does have connections to DaS2 (almost direct ones in fact) and once again, you sound like a bootyravaraged who couldn't finish DaS2, broke his controller and went off to shitpost on /v/ about it.

Also just to further make you mad
>There is nothing redeeming about it

DaS2 did the following better than DaS1
>Better inventory system
>Weapon degradation actually happening
>Weight system fixed
>Progressive hollowing added
>Made magic less OP (Though it still Ez mode)
>Brought back grass
>>
>Consistent

Fuck you kid. This series will never be CoD. What are you mad that there is a series for serious gamers? Just cause you can't handle it doesn't mean you have to hate. How about you GIT GUD

Munch's Oddysee is bad, even the devs admit it was way too ambitious and a no where near the original vision.

It's the Dark Souls 2 of the franchise.

> Abe's Oddysee = DeS
Challenging game with GOAT atmosphere. An amazing game.

> Abe's Exoddus = Dark Souls
Mechanically more polished and bigger, but doesn't have the same "feel". An amazing game.

> Munch's Oddysee = DaS2
An abortion of the game that is only a shell of its creators original vision. Still passable, but compared to its predesesors it misses the point of what made them good.

> Strangers Wrath = Bloodborne
Different, but excellent. A refreshing change and proof that the series can still be amazing despite a lackluster entry.
