You have 10 seconds to tell me why this isn't the most polished, complete, andbestSouls game to date.
Demon's Souls exists (and needs a remake)
Compare tower of latria to DS3's "totally not tower of latria" (t. Irithyll dungeon)
Tower of Latria is unequivocally better, even if demons souls is less refined

>great level design
Are you guys retarded? There's nothing great about it. It's ugly, clunky and insanely hard for no reason.
>a tiny ass world where everything of consequence is within 10 seconds walking distance of one another
This is dark souls 3 exaclty.

>yet another level up NPC instead of simply leveling at the bonfire

this
biggest disappointment of the series when I realised literally the whole game world is visible from the banner holding cutscene
>>334413610
Demon's Souls wasn't that good.
Don't want to make a new thread.
Am I the only person who can't play at all? I sometimes get to the character screen but even ewhen I create one it says memory cannot be read. I have a 970 and have tried different things, I've never had a game at launch be this bad.
>>334414496
this.
It also bugs me that all these lands are right next to eachother. Sure muh lotric "where shits converge" and time is convoluted
>>334414385
But everything in Lordran is crammed together too.
>>334413236
>Good enemy variety
Ehhhh I agree with your other points but enemy variety is pretty lacking in this one. A lot of the enemies feel like rehashed Bloodborne enemies. I guess if you never played Bloodborne, which is probably most of /v/, I can see why you think there is a lot of variety, but a lot of them feel really similar to anyone who has played Bloodborne.
>>334413236
Literally, fuck this shit. I'm installing MGR:Revengeance for an actual game worth my time. I honestly can't understand all the fuzz - DS3 looks like shit, plays like shit and, generally, is shit.
the "lmao infinite stamina with 7 hit string" enemies in this game are a bit much
black knights are like triple the power level of das1 in this game
>yfw DS2 still exists
>>334414474
i have to admit, the boss adds really do bug me a bit, especially when they're set to respawn.
>>334413610
Demon's Souls had some awful mechanics like World Tendency, some of the bosses were pretty bad (Dragon God especially), every World exept World 1 ends with a gimmick boss that in most cases isn't even a real boss fight (fight invader, activate levers, use Storm sword, fight what is basically an NPC phantom or snipe with bow), World 2 in general feels really generic and uninspired, no proper endgame or boss (even though DeS fanboys like to pretend that False King is the final boss), movement in general feels a lot clunkier than in later games, etc. . I think DeS was great for its time and might still have some of the most atmospheric levels in the series, but overall it was more of a proof of concept for a great game than a great game itself. That said: Yes, a remake would be fantastic.
>>334415140
DaS2 > DeS
Dark souls 3 has the worst level design though. Every map is literally "here is a bigass area with no clear indications on where to go" instead of the old designs like boletaria, yharnam, basically all of dark souls 1 that we're used to
>>334414840
There is not a single point in this game where "time is conveluted" shows up.
Lodran was always there and so was Anor Londo. Dark Souls 2 lore just fucked everything up.
>>334413236
Game is great, but have some problems- performance(on pc mostly), bugs, balance issues
>>334415225
Worst opinion I've seen in a while. Final bosses of the world obviously are not meant to be like normal boss fights, you can't compare them to other bosses in the series, they're meant more to just be cool ways to finish a leve. World tendency wasn't bad, if you really think so then you would really hate older rpgs since ignoring it is possible. Also false king is the last boss FIGHT, not the last boss.
>>334415345
>Every map is literally "here is a bigass area with no clear indications on where to go"
I thought it was too linear? which one is it?
>>334416149
Having a series of big hallways is still a series of hallways.
>>334413236
now they just need to fix Endurance so every character doesn't feel like an asthmatic with lung cancer.
>>334413236
I'm really done with these ever expanding hallway dungeons that have plagued the series since the back half of Dark 1. It was okay in Demon's because you could at least switch between stages on a whim, and it was tolerably in BB due to loot mattering less, but this series really has gone downhill overall.
Every time I play Demon's and Dark it's still different because I can always find a new build to try that will have a completely different path through the early game. I didn't get my hopes up for Dark 3 suddenly flipping the script but I am a little disappointed with how formulaic this series is now. I've only barely touched NG+ so maybe that will salvage it, but after BB's lackluster NG+ I'm not expecting much.
>>334414474
>someone will reply to this obvious bait unironically
>>334415225
>like to pretend
you are legitimately stupid, they don't pretend, he IS the last boss as in videogame boss type, the true king is a symbolic thing, he is a fucking blob that you are putting out of its misery, you can't be fucking serious, it's like saying that archdrake is shit because he dies in one hit, you are legitimately retarded
>>334413236
The poise stat is even more convoluted than it was in DS1 or DS2. Same thing with enemies, some seems to have infinite poise while others don't have anything at all
>Endurance being useless
No, I don't really give a fuck if you think it was 'unbalanced' in DaS1, saying Endurance is overpowered is like saying Vigor/Vitality(DaS1) is overpowered.
>>334416237
You're not making any sense. "Big hallways" wouldn't need to give an indication of where to go, since there would only be one way to go. It can only be one or the other
