How many of you Dark Souls fans actually haven't played this game?Come forth, and let me pity thee.
How many of you dark souls fans even know this game exists?
I played it before Dark Souls existed.
>>334354747
Not a Souls game doe.
>>334354747
First game of From's I played was Demon's Souls when it came out. Played every one of their games so far.
How is Kings Field?
>>334354456
I've never owned a sony system and never will, been PC master race since I was playing word muncher nigger

>>334354747

>went back the other day
>$50.00
Pfffttt hahaha its terrible
>>334354850
>How is Kings Field?
It's basically Dark Souls with PS1 graphics.
>>334354850
Pretty excellent, more of an adventure game than an RPG though. Imagine Dark Souls but with a more open interconnected world, and with bigger emphasis on puzzles than combat.Japanese only King's Field 1 though is garbage though, don't even bother. 2 is just called King's Field in the west and that's where it gets good
I bought a PS3 solely for this game, and imported the asian copy a good year before release because people on /v/ were going nuts about it.
>>334354456
It's shit, has always been shit, and this new "I played Demon Souls! I'm better then you!" meme needs to die.

Who else has played through and owns Bloodborne but not Demon's Souls

>>334354997
Except it's not.
DeS is an action rpg. KF is a VERY archaic dungeon crawler.
>>334356014
>DeS is an action rpg.
DID ANYONE SAY DEMON'S SOULS? I DON'T THINK SO.
BB > DeS > DaS III > DaS >>> DaS II
Objectively the correct ranking.
>>334356056
DaS is an action rpg too. But whatever bro, you're just here to shitpost.
>>334356469
I am here to truepost.
It's interesting how much level design and enemy placement Dark Souls III rips straight from Demon's Souls. I love it. Too bad almost nobody will notice.
yeah, I even played it first. DaS is still my favorite, I've played all (including BB) except DaS3
>>334354456
It's the only FromSoftware game I've played. I lost interest only 2 hours into it or something though.
>>334354456
I started with Demon's Souls at a time when I was starved for an RPG, I had a ps3 and playing DMC4 was starting to get old.
/v/ swung around and had a thread about this new cool game, Demon's Souls, and someone was asking about "Blueblood sword" and where to craft it.
I read through the thread and saw some screenshots and went "woah this looks fun I might enjoy this."
So began my thirst for souls.
>>334359312
BBS is still my favourite build. I'm gonna try and replciate it in DaS 3 as best I can, sadly no dark silver shield tho probably.
And definitely no old king armour, becuase that shit invalidated almost every other piece of armour in the game by existing god damn from. This is why no one wore armour, not because of stun locking, BUT BECAUSE YOU GAVE A PIECE OF MEDIUM ARMOUR STAMINA REGEN. WHY YOU GOTTA KEEP FUCKING IT UP, GIVE ME MY KNOCKBACK AND DES STUNS BACK... also grass because I liked grass.
>>334360174
If Demon's Souls had any flaws it was the lack of variety. Stuffing your face with grass to be healthy is kind of funny though.
Since they brought the luck stat back, I hope the Blueblood sword is in a DLC. I'd love to play a Luck build.
>>334354456
The only reason Souls became popular was due to Dark souls coming onto the PC, consolefags don't care for hardcore games which is why demon souls bombed.
>>334360364
Demon's Souls only got brought to the west because there was such a demand for it, nigger.
>>334360292
You can infuse items to scale with luck, so I'm just gonna find a sword that looks as close as possible.
And build veriety wasn't that bad, armour wise yeah but as I said, it's because Doran's armour literally had stamina regen on it so outside of super specific and niche things you wouldn't use anything else, same with shields, you had the health regen shield or the dark silver shield which both had effects that were just too strong.
Weapon wise though it was mostly okay, you had at least 1 thing in each general "archetype" that was workable.
I played Demon's Souls when it first released in North America. I learned about it reading user reviews for a completely different game (Sacred 2) while trying to make a list of stuff I wanted for my birthday that was coming up. I added Demon's Souls to the list on a whim and my sister got it for me. At that time I wasn't expecting to like it very much but now it's one of my favorite games.

>The only reason Souls became popular was due to Dark souls coming onto the PC
>game series sold most of it's copies on consoles until 5 dollar steam sales padded the sales on pc years after the fact
>pc is what made it popular
I haven't LOL.
>>334354456
It's one of the reasons I had most Souls fans. They have no respect for the series because they can't be "bothered" to play the game that spawned it all. It was great and DaS was literally a rebake of DeS.
>>334355128
Sounds like someone acts like they are more of a fan of the series than they really are and feels insecure that they didn't discover the greatness of the series to the mindless horde grabbed hold of it.

>>334360774
Demon God was literally my only complaint about DeS. That was the most underwhelming and dumbest fight.
>>334360928
At least he was kinda cool looking.
And you'll never forget going "wait... is that it" after you hid behind some pillars and shot ballista at him.
Also getting DBS is actually the greatest feeling when you're doing a big two handed sword build.
Shadow Tower Abyss is the true precursor to the souls series, though it's in first person and feels kind of unfinished.
>>334360774
Valley of Defilement is Blight Town.
>>334361006
Blight town isn't nearly as good. It lacks the goblins and then the huge fuck you goblins that take you a bit by surprise at first, and the cool events like Selen and her unique sword which never got into another game.
Played it. Could do with a quick remaster in a year or two. Sort of show the newer players where shit begun. It's gonna be pretty archaic going back though. Going back to it for a quick dip after playing pc versions of DaS and 2 wasn't all that pleasant.
Still for me it's.
DaS > DeS >>> DaS 2
Haven't played BB or 3 yet.
Gotta give one thing to DeS however. Those threads for it here were great during launch period.
>>334355128
You've obviously never played it if you say it's shit yet you like DaS
>>334361092
Oh I thought you were calling it shit. It was a vague statement. Tower of Latria is still my favorite place. Best representation of mind flayers in a game ever. First time I went there I noped the fuck out.
>>334354456
>go fourth Garl Vinaland. May you be unharmed.

Why have they not managed to make another feels boss?
>PS3 exclusive
>>334354456
I played dark souls first and then tried demons souls. I didnt like it.
>>334361429
It's more that all the swamps are just unpleasent, they're alright in their own way but really.
No one even questions that Lataria is the best location in the whole franchise, except for me becuase I have a ahrd on for Boletaria castle.
False King Allant is the only fight that I know well enough to do it blind folded yet it still makes me clench every time.
>>334360928
It kind of fits into the idea that you're not some beast mode hero who's gonna kill the old one, all you end up doing is making him fuck off for a while with the help of the Maiden. The best you can hope for against some powerful being like the Dragon God is a rigged fight.
>>334360364
>Demon's Souls bombed
>>334361738
I'd have rather not had a build up to a fight then. If you end up beating the Asylum Demon equivalent, he's what kills you in the intro. So it seems kind of a lackluster followup is all. Mentally it just wasn't fun and felt out of place from a design viewpoint.
>>334361448
cos DaS babbies need 2hard sosick enemies for every single boss
>>334361927
Him killing you was a joke really. Something of a "fuck you you're supposed to die to that guy"
Honestly yes he is the biggest letdown in the game. But he's just so big that having a fight would be so hard. He's huge in the intro cinematic, you'd need to do something like Stormbringer, but they already did that gimmick elsewhere.
So who'd win in a fight, Dragon God or Seath? I've heard Seath fags argue that he should win by virtue of his intelligence and magic and shit, and that Dragon God's only real asset is that he's big. In Dragon God's defense though,he is really fucking big.
>>334362459
Lore wise, Seath wouldn't fight them and Gwyn, Isalith, and Nito would have wrecked Dragon God's shit.

Reminder that you play the villain in every Souls game
We really need DeS 2 next
>>334360487
dammm almost forgot about this
>>334362725
You're only a villain in DS2.
Nashandra didn't have to die.
>>334354456
I started with Dark Souls 3, and yes, I plan to make threads about why it's the best Souls game ever
>>334361448
How so in DeS and DaS?
I can see you being more of a villain than a hero in DS2 and Bloodborne, but not the earlier ones
>>334354456
Played a few minutes, died on first boss (a giant knight) was fun, I don't own a PS3 so never finished it.
>>334364778
Texhnically in DeS you can betray the maiden so you can be a villain.
Arguably if you refuse to link the flames in DaS then you've murdered a bunch of people for nothing. Some of the bosses were just trying to protect something.
>>334364806
>first boss
>giant knight
Are you sure you fought a boss?
Tutorial boss is a giant demon and first boss is a giant amoeba surrounded by goop and spears.
>Tower of Latria

>world tendency that got worse if you sucked, HP halved if you were dead

>dat Old Burger King armor set
>pure bladestone bullshit farming
>fucking 2kat invaders
This game legitimately blew me away when I got it. Dark Souls is great too, but it doesn't hold a candle to Demon's Souls.
>>334365257
I want a remake with increased pure bladestone drop rate.
Even keep the limited inventory system.
I'm playing it right now. First Souls experience. Got it on PS+ a few years ago and am just getting round to it.
So far I've done 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2 and 3-1 in that order. Keep going back to King Doran but get my shit handed back to me everytime,
>>334354456
This game has my maximum comfort zone. Prison of hope. It reminds me of summer nights in California. I liked all the first sections and second sections of the zones. But some of the third and fourth areas just weren't as well designed. Lotta of the later areas felt phoned in.
Bosses in demons did not feel like ultra bullshit like they do in later games
Demon souls is best souls
>>334366317
Go finish 3-2
>>334366317
You can farm in 5-1 if you get stuck
never played it for more than 30 minutes because the combat has no weight to it...feels like I'm swinging around a fucking paper plate
>>334367004
I'd rather not farm. My mindset is if I can't beat a certain level through my own skill at that point I'll just try somewhere else. I did cheese Flamelurker though which I'm ashamed of but he got himself stuck.
>>334366895
I saw the outline of 3-2 on the horizon and it looks great. But for now I want to go and do 2-3 because I felt weird just leaving that to do 3-1. Talking about 3-1 it almost made me quit the game. Too fucking scary.
>>334367217
If you manage to complete 3-2 you can easily complete the whole game
>>334368562
What do you mean? Is it too hard or too scary?
I'm playing it right now for the first time.
I've completed Boletaria up to Penetrator, all of Latria and Stonefang, and beaten the first boss of the other two worlds.
Right now I'm trying to beat the shrine of storms 2 but I literally cannot get anywhere. It's a super frustrating level because it seems like getting past the first batch of gold skeletons is pure luck and then the fuckers with the laserbeams wreck my shit and there's so many of them I miss the rolls.
And I'm on the EU version so there's nobody online to help ever and even if I did find someone specifically on 4chan they'd be on the US server anyway.
>>334369086
I'm >>334366317
and I'm in the EU but I won't help you.
>>334354456
played, finished some level and abandoned, too dishonest and mechanics of the tendency is confusing.
>>334369287
That's fine, want me to help you instead?
>>334369086
If you're having trouble, backstab or kick (if possible) the skellies of the cliff.
When inside sprint straight to the necromancer and kill him/them. Dodging the lasers really shouldn't be too difficult just time your roll. In the worst case you should even be able to just tank through it and heal.
>>334368719
Despair incarnate
>>334354456
I've not played DeS or BB
i'd like to but i'm affluent enough to buy a console for a single game
I'm happy to buy and play the games if they'd get a PC port
>>334370005
Follow up question
I've been told the lay out of DeS is five different routes shooting off from the hub,
how do fans of the franchise think that lay out compares to the structure of the later games?
>>334354456
It was,the first one of the series I played and it still my number one
>>334370005
Why dont you like, lend the console+game from a friend?
Or buy the console used, play through the game and then sell it?
>>334369490
Nah I'm just happy playing it as a single player game. The messages and stuff is nice but I was never really intending to invade or summon.
>haha im so contrarian, i play games no-one else does and think myself superior for it
As much as i hate soulsfags, this is more obnoxious and stupid then anything coming out of a soulsfag's mouth
>>334370135
It's a lot more linear, and I think while the individual world are imaginative enough (Latria is a highlight) the way they don't need to fit together is a bit of a shame.
Having a central hub you teleport to is probably a good idea for giving players a breather and a centralized place to gear up and manage things, but the interconnected layout of Dark Souls is good too for immersive feelings.
I think Bloodborne does it the best out of the ones I've played because it has that central safe hub but also an interconnected world where you can just travel around between locations. Haven't played DS3 yet so I dunno what it has.
Honestly playing DeS just for Latria is worth it. Amazing level.

>>334355605
>dat biorr
>>334370449
DaS3 does the same.
You have the hub, and you teleport into the "open" world. It's not like DaS in which you can find multiple connections to different zones, though. The world is basically one giant hallway.
Fortunately the levels themselves are really open. At least in the first half.
Post yfw you hear a bell
How much PTSD do you have from it?
>it's a sonyfags say BB and DeS are the best in the series episode
So insecure boys.
>mfw the fluted armor set never came back
Also DeS still has the best credits in the series
>>334370512
OK well I guess I could help you with 2-2 if you want? I have no idea how to get into other peoples games though. Would be later on today as well.
>>334354747
These games are trash but have good atmosphere.
>>334354894
I don't understand how you can have a passion for vidya and never own a sony system. That's tragic to me
>>334370930
What you need to do is be in soul form and put down a blue stone near the adjudicator archstone. I think we have to be around the same soul level. IIRC I'm 50-60.

Whats it like being wrong about everything you think youre saying?
>>334371432
It's okay, I don't want you to rush your playthrough or anything. I might get lucky and finish the game next week or something. Also you don't even need PSNs, it's entirely ingame.
How about make another DeS thread in a month and if I'm still stuck I'll let you know!
As much as I love Dark Souls, Demon's will forever be my favorite. It really nailed that hopeless dark fantasy feel in ways DaS didn't.Reminder that The Old One is God
>>334371628
Ok cool. I'm not really stuck though I just haven't played that much. Thinking of going for 2-3 next. I get really timid when trying out a new archstone so like to stick to the sort of areas I know.
>>334361565
Please stop saying Lataria
It's Latria
>>334371770
Take your time and have fun. Latria is the best.
>>334355492
I havent played Dark souls, bloodborne OR demon souls so jokes on you nigger
Best souls boss theme ever coming through
https://youtu.be/9piElENpvmM
>>334371637
Huh. DeS actually seems pretty upbeat compared to DaS, I thought. DaS is about the end of the world as people know it, while DeS you can just make the main antagonist go to sleep and the world goes back to normal.
>>334354456
DeS is a good game but in comparison to the rest of the series is rather weak. I think it's extremely interesting from historical point of view as it offers context for what the series is now, but it lacks the refinment of other games. DaS was the game that took the formula and various ideas from DeS and turned them into a more coherent game, improved upon world connectivity and added a consistent theme.
I don't count DS2 as part of the series.
>>334355050
Fucking disgusting hipster filth, not content in espousing his knowledge on obscure garbage games, he must go the extra mile and tell you he's played both the jap and west version.
Kill yourself scum weeb.
Actually I dunno why but I feel the atmosphere surrounding the world of demon's souls is much much deeper than the one from dark souls. But I also feel the philosophy that lurks dark souls is way better in every aspect of every game there is. The process of humanity going hollow is something almost no one talks about but is so deep when you examine it...
>>334355174
Lol this game has the same amount of detail in its levels as DS2.
Boletaria>Shrine of Storms>Tower of Latria>Stonefang Tunnel>Valley of Defilement
VoD would have been higher if I didn't absolutely despise 5-2
I played a demo for demon souls at some gameshow I attended in south london. Thought the game was broken, and realizing it was Japanese, I instantly dropped the controller and went over to play fallout 3. I had an irrational hate for anything Japanese back then.
>>334372139
I think Dark Souls had a different vision of what it should be like and changed it, though obviously an unfinished game like parts of Demon's Souls. I vastly prefer Demon's though, was pretty disappointed in Dark when I switched from DeS to DaS. Too different.
>>334372058
Agreed. However there is one thing that bothers me about Demon's. When you are in sould form you can't hear your steps.
I never got why they felt the need to seperate the regions for online. It especially sucks for the EU version's owners since nobody is on the EU servers anymore. I guess it might have to do with the different publishers for all the regions.
By the way, how is the US server population? Last time I played a few months back there were far more people online than I was expecting.
REMEMBER DOUBLE DRAGON BONE SMASHER BUILDS?
I just want DeS 2 guys ;_;
>larger worlds with only one bonfire to save your ass
>play worlds in any order
>harder puzzle bosses
>get punished more and more as you die
>barely any focus on multiplayer
>>334372771
but the valley with the thief ring is piss easy, you can go all the way and open the shortcut killing only 2 of those bigass enemies.
>>334372903
Definitely. Although in case of DeS I feel it's vision wasn't as refined as that of DaS. I always felt DeS was a difficult, but somewhat generic fantasy game that was a mixture of various but not always consistent ideas. I still have enormous respect for it for being the first game to introduce the formula, but I think DaS nailed it.
That said both games suffer from being uneven. I think BDB was the first one to have an even level of polish throughout.
Played it in the lead up to dark souls 3. As someone who never played it on release I can confirm 100% that it's the worst souls game (never played bloodborne).
For me it's 3>1>2>demons souls
Demons souls has better levels and music than dark souls 2 but worse bosses and mechanics than every other game in the series. It's also the easiest game in the series by a long shot. Only 3 of the bosses even managed to kill me.
>>334374204
I think I need a map for that place. I made it to the second area and found that suit of armor in the slug then got confused and ran headlong into a big depraved one.
>>334358630
I noticed, Anon. The wall of lothric is a mix of Boletaria/Undead Burg seemingly and I about lost my shit when I saw that bluered-eyed knight. Couple other enemies have strongly evoked Demon's Souls, like fat courtyard guy reminds of the Grey Demon
Anyone feel like this series could benefit from some Zelda style puzzles or some light platforming sections (obviously they'd have to improve the jump mechanics)?
I just finished dark souls 3 and by the end I felt pretty burnt out on the souls series. This is the 5th game now and essentially all you do is fight enemies. There isn't even a whole lot of variety in terms of the strategies you need to defeat enemies. It's certainly a fun formula, but I feel like some puzzles or something could help keep it fresh.
>>334372838
Are you Phil Fish?
>>334355174
I think the King's Field games would be fun if you emulated them at triple speed
>>334372954
Isn't that intentional?
>>334374234
Bloodborne's polish was better, but it still had the not so great chalice dungeons which could have used some work. If they had some better layouts/more tilesets it would have really helped, or just make more fleshed out areas.
>>334374702
Platforming would be terrible, and adding jumps would mean they'd have to redesign levels a lot.
Puzzles could be neat, but with the limited moveset you'd probably wind up just pushing blocks around or something equally tedious.
I played a bit of demon's souls but it was immediately after DS2 so the framerate was shit and I gave up.
>>334374808
It's definitely intentional, but the armour clanking in Demon's is very satisfying so it's a shame to never hear it like 97% of the game. Though, rolling is jarringly loud.
>>334374870
The jump wouldn't have to be too much better than the current jump, just more accurate and easy to control. Of course the game would be designed with its own movement mechanics in mind.
That said, platforming is just a suggestion - my point is that the series needs a tiny bit more variety so that it's not 100% combat all the time.
>>334374053
>>334374154
I miss Demon's Souls guys ;_;
I would do anything for just one day in the old times.
>>334374528
Basically, goes like this:
Drop down. Equip your thief ring and hug the right wall. Go straight killing whatever those grey things are and munching grass to mitigate the poison. Sneak past the enemies before the fog wall.
Go straight to the catwalk, watch the ambush and the mosquitoes. At the end, lure the bigass dudes one by one so they don't rape you too hard.
Next, welcome to Rio. at the end of the slums you can go left, towards the boss or right, where you can open the shortcut. Crystal Lizard here too, watch for it.
Thief ring will avoid most bumrush situations in this area.
>>334374868
i expected the chalice dungeons to be more random than
>exactly the same underground bullshit cave with 4 layouts and different npcs/bosses
>>334375081
People play for combat, though. And the game already has some neat exploration because of the items littered all over the place.
>>334374951
I pity people like you who care so much about that sort of thing that it ruins games for you. You must miss out on so many good games.
>>334354456
>demon souls

kektus
>>334375158
Sure, you play for the combat but don't you feel like it starts to get a tiny bit repetitive after a while? Like don't get me wrong, I love these games, I just feel like some puzzles or something could help to keep it a bit more fresh. Doesn't have to be anything too drastic.
>>334375175
No, other games are fine. Demon's souls just felt too laggy and unplayable.
>>334374868
Yeah chalices kind of sucked but I always treated them as bonus content anyway. I guess my main issue with Bloodborne was the overall lack of level/enemy/loot variety. But what was there was polished and the main campaign had no dips in qualify similar to lost izalith/demon ruins

I liked the architecture, so they were okay in short bursts. They're really grating if you marathon them.
>>334375474
As I remember demons souls was locked at 30fps so if that felt laggy and unplayable to you than the majority of games from the ps2 era and earlier should feel unplayable to you.
>>334354456
ps3 emulator when?
>>334372058
nah fuck off dude, has nothing on the Soul of Cinder.
>>334354456
I started with Demon's Souls 1 month after its release. I was a bit disappointed with what the series has turned out to be (yearly releases, cashgrab tactics by bamco) but now I'm 100% sure Miyazaki is the "soul" of Souls series. DeS, DaS and BB are absolutely amazing games and even though I haven't played DaS3 it looks pretty good, definitely much better than DaS2. I just wish more people qould recognise Demon's for what it is: a great game that was used pretty much as a template for the latter souls games, thus making it undisputably the best in the series.
>>334375539
Bloodborne was pretty great but the expansion pack makes it basically perfect. I could play it forever.
>>334354894
Master disgrace
>>334375625
It's because I played a game with the exact same gameplay at 60fps. Makes demon souls seem horrible.
>>334375708
How at all does that make it the best in the series? It was just the first in the series. Every single game since has built on it and been an improved experience. Even dark souls 2, which was a step down from dark souls is a huge step up from demons souls.
>>334354456
My friend who worked at gamestop told me to preorder it because i loved kings field. I preordered and got a sweet collectors edition with a guide. Its the game that got me hooked on the souls formula.
>>334375970
When every single iterarion after the first one has so many similarities with the original then that means the first one did it perfect AND best. Sure later games have more content, expanded upon the template and offered a new experience (except for DaS2) but that makes every game feel like an upgraded version of Demon's Souls. DeS had nothing to base itself on yet every game after it relies heavily on DeS, I 'd say that's reason enough to call it best in the series.
>>334354456
I picked up a ps3 for it
Why the pity though?
>>334375938
>muh gameplay
>muh 60fps
You sound like every single kid on /v/ that parrots the dankest memes trying to fit in.
You know that Demon's Souls was praised for far more things than just its gameplay, right? Keep ruining great games for yourself, tard.

on top of that, anris sword scales with luck i think
>>334375708
DaS 3 has the biggest DeS vibe outside of DeS.
>firelink Shrine is basically the Nexus
>teleport from place to place, in the beginning at least
>that blue bar for magic
>level design is tight and pretty good so far
>this maiden has the same hair style as maiden in black
There's probably more things I've missed.
>>334376723
How am I spouting memes when I experienced it for myself, faggot. Could you get anymore defensive? Waa people don't like the game that I like. I bet you think golden eye is still amazing in 2016. Retard.
>>334375938
30 FPS ruining a console game for you is pretty bizarre. First person games, and moreso on PC, are horrible at low FPS, but on console like Demon's it shouldn't be a problem. Guess your eyes are sensitive.
always thought this was fun
>>334354456
Played it before dark souls came out.
>>334376429
By definition every game being an "upgraded version of demons souls" makes every game better than demons souls.
Of course every game is similar. They're all part of the same series. Each game builds on the last. Try applying that logic to any other series in your head and you'll see how retarded it sounds.
>>334376925
BB was also kinda DeS-like. Aside from the central hub it also does the same thing with the first and second bosses. Vanguard and the Cleric Beasts are big crazy monsters that you can beat but don't have to advance the game, and Phalanx and Father Gascogine are mandatory but teach you gameplay mechanics. I thought that was a nice callback.
>>334377373
Not that guy but Golden Eye is fun as fuck and I played it for the first time a few years ago. Sounds like you're just a gigantic pleb to me.
>>334360502
Except Dark Souls has never been $5 on Steam.
It was $20 for the majority of Steam sales and only just became $10 this recent Steam sale.
been playing dark souls 1 for smoetime now and I have never fucking invaded anyone.
Cracked red eye orbs never fucking work even if i'm human. At the undead asylum about to do Asylum Demon 2.0 and i can't do any fucking pvp because my orbs has been greyed out since I ever touched this game.
pls halp I love the pvp in this game but i can never invade anyone.
>>334374596
irithyll dungeon is a lot like a mini tower of latria too. So many fucking throwbacks to demons souls.I love it.
>>334370849
thos fuckers scared the shit out of me
>>334360487
>>334377818
>not playing golden eye when it came out
Kid detected. You probably played the xbox arcade version so it doesn't count. Golden eye has aged extremely badly. Not him btw
>>334370849
I took three steps out of the cell and noped out.
>GAURRGG!
>Please, help me!
>ding
>ARRRRRRRRRGG!
>>334379780
Honestly getting out of the prison and finding out what was outside was worse. From inside you can get a sense of water and hear insect noises under what I assumed was a night sky, so I imagined Latria to be kinda pleasant.
Then turns out it's a fucking nightmarish collection of torture towers around a giant fucking heart hanging over a swamp full of blood. Christ.
>>334378802
I'm 22, but ok, keep believing that everybody on earth has the exact same life experiences as you.
>>334377897
This isn't true. I bought Dark Souls on sale for 5 dollars in 2014
>>334377694
It's the Souls series in particular that shares so many similarities with the original though.
>same combat
>same gamplay
>same control scheme
>same "unique" online elements
>same lore/story structure
>shit even same UI
So few things have changed between the titles it's almost negligible. Compare that to, say, the MGS series. Can you say that MGS3 has as many similarities with MGS1?
Demon Souls > Dark Souls
PLEASE, HELP ME!HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!
>>334355093
Same here, fun times. Sometimes I still can't believe that game we weren't even sure would get localized would go on to spawn such a large and popular series. Fucking incredible.
>>334355128
This game was rare at some point, dont listen to the faggots.
How the Story connects with the Multiplayer has never been don in any game before that well tbqf desu
>>334360364
Demon Souls was a collectors item at some point and rare gem.
Everyone i heard talking about it only praised it but stated how difficult it was compared to the rest of the AAA casual titles.
I ragequit it after I made a retarded mistake and died in the Tower of Latria a long, long way away from the start of the level without having found shortcuts an carrying a lot of souls.
>>334380093
I was right then. Kid detected. Your first console was probably a ps2. Kys
>>334382930
And then you run back, accidentally roll to the side and off the tower.
>>334382540
I think it's still kinda rare (and expensive). I'd buy it but not for full price, considering the multiplayer may be dead as fuck.
>>334382540
>Demon Souls was a collectors item at some point and rare gem.
It literally got a Greatest Hits reprint.
You know, that thing they do because something sells really well.
>>334383668
I'm 23 and my first console was the Megadrive (Genesis)
>>334354456
great atmosphere, great pvp and great gameplay.
>>334377979
Give up. I know I did.
>>334354456
Nope, never owned a Sony console, never will.well, maybe if the ps3 becomes dirt cheap I might check it out. Or of they eventully into emulatuon
>>334354456
>>334354747
Played them, beat'em. Played them again.
They're pretty good. Or at least, relative to the nonexistant competition.
>>334377979
Go Gravelord and wait for them to come to you.
>>334383759
>I think it's still kinda rare (and expensive)
Explain how I got it for something like $13 brand new on amazon in late 2014.
>>334354456
This is the only Souls game I've played. I beat it but haven't replayed it and never had the urge to play any dark souls. I am considering picking up bloodborne when its $10-$15 because of the lovecraftian artstyle
>somehow got a summon in Demon's Souls like a month ago
>On a non-Latria level, too
I was ecstatic.
>>334383759
Nah, it's bargain bin material.
Back when Soul fanbase was solid and wasn't shit.
The Vanilla WoW of Souls.
>>334385527
The meta was always fucked.
Unless we're measuring quality by memes produced, or lack thereof.
>>334383681
It's been a while and I can't remember the details, but I'm pretty sure I got incredibly lucky to get that far so I wasn't expecting to ever get close to the souls.
>>334370420
>haha im so contrarian, i play games no-one else does and think myself superior for it
>this angers him when he posts on /v/
>>334354456
So fucking easy. Firestorm. Bye
>>334354456
I'm the opposite actually, I only played DeS. SL1'd it too.
>>334386018
If we're rank every game on how easy it is to cheese it we're going to be here for a while.
>>334377979
Game's dead, Jim. Everyone but the twinkers have moved on to 3 by now.
Would an anon recommend DeS or DaS to a first timer of this series?
>>334387918
Start with DeS and progress from there.
>>334387918
DeS, DaS and DaS3 are all interchangeable as fuck. The differences are minute.
Just go DeS, play them in release order.
>>334387918
And play DaS2. It's no doubt the weakest of the series, but still a good game despite what memers will tell you.
>Played all of them
>Only bothered completing Demon's Souls and Dark Souls
I always seem to get bored in the middle now.
>>334354456
I have. I bought it a few weeks ago in order to pair with a PS3 I sold on ebay.
I played it for a few hours before just to see how it was.
It's better than Dark Souls 3. Maybe better than Dark Souls, depending on your taste.
It's got a bit more JRPG feel to it compared to the later souls games.
I sold it and the PS3 in order to buy Dark Souls 3 (and pay my car insurance this month). Kind of wish I had held off a little while longer and played all the way through the game.
