So I just beat Dark beast Paarl.
At what point doe this game get better than Dark Souls III?

Because right now it's basically an easier Victorian Dark Souls II locked at 30 fps.

I mean don't get me wrong, the game is beautiful, but this is not comparable to Dark Souls III and certainly not the original Dark Souls.
So does it get better?
>>
>>335716525

It doesn't get better. It stays roughly at that level.
It's good, but the whole "Bloodborne is best souls" meme is just Sonyggers desperately trying g to justify their purchase. Pl3ase tell me you're at least a partial idort. You sound reasonable.

>Chalice dungeons existing and being unused potential
>healing system is atrocious, and always nags on you, removes game flow
>having to teleport TWICE to go to area to area or even reset an area
>rune system in BB is massively inferior to rings
>Arcane is underdeveloped, hunters tools have nowhere near the versatility or utility that dark souls has in terms of defensive, offensive and general function miracles/pyromancies/sorceries justifying all the points into intelligence/faith
>arcane at launch was largely justified by meaningless weapon scaling
>games content at launch was depressingly short
>everything after amelia in the release game is awful except ebrietas, logarius and gehrman

BB babbies justify their game solely through the DLC, which was actually good, but let's not pretend for even a second that what was launched originally wasn't shit.

I hated it until I beat it honestly.
Then I got a weird urge to replay it like crazy, actually use the gun-parries that I'd been ignoring, try the DLC, hunt the items needed for the True ending, try the Chalice Dungeons which were way better than I expected though I wish they scaled with NG+.

It may be better than DaS1 if the content I keep bumping into surprises me like it has been.
Rom is a fucking faggot who should never have been made though.

BB is better than both DaS3 and DaS1.

DaS3:

>linear as fuck, more so than any other game in the franchise
>heavily favours R1 spam, weapon arts not doing enough to offer deeper weapon movesets
>movesets aren't as deep as BB. No running heavy/light attacks. 1-handing/2-handing attacks don't flow like transformation atttacks
>poor weapon balance. Straight swords have no business being as powerful as they are.
>magic is weak. Linear level design means you're stuck with a very limited selection of spells until near the end of the game.
>graphics are weaker than BB even maxed on my pc. Lacks the post processing and visual polish of BB. Textures are poor and environments are often sparse.
>weak bosses. Most are piss easy and rife with gimmicks, even going as far as to steal gimmicks from DeS that make no sense here. Nameless King is extremely overated: first phase is pure filler and the second is your standard easily-stunned knight.
>hardcore pandering to bank on DaS1 nostalgia. Too many characters are copy/pastes of previous NPCs with new names. Too many levels feel like a less-good "homage" to previous levels.
>game is short and lacking optional content. The little optional content is low of quality. Old Izalith is literally made using chalice dungeon assets.
>forgettable music outside of the title theme.
>healing is too forgiving. You can hold up to 15 estus flasks (5 less than BB while healing considerably more than BB's fixed 40%).
>luck is worse than it was in DeS somehow.
>vitality is also useless given how weak armour is in DaS3 making this the only Souls game with 2 dump stats.

Retards and plebs who don't know any better will tell you it's "le best gaem" because the DaS1 pandering got them in their "feels", but anyone with taste will tell you it's barely better than DaS2, if at all.

I'm going to be honest. For the time being it's just crazy werewolves and victorian shit.
Keep playing since the atmosphere gets 4 times better and all goes lovecraftian-ish.
Best part about Bloodborne is the DLC no doubt, I'll go as far as saying it's a must play no matter how much it costs you to get it.
The base game is comparable to DaS 1 in quality but I still prefer DaS1, whoever oif you add the old hunters DLC it jumps all the way to best in the series and I'm 100% sure everyone that says bloodborne is the best are actually saying the DLC is the best

Nah mate.

Bloodborne was much shorter than DaS3 on release, and it's not like it actually ever did anything interesting with it's world design like dark souls 1, see my image for reference.
>Heavily favours r1 spam

You literally just described bloodborne for the most part

>Movesets aren't as deep

This is made up for by the much, much wider variety of spells, utility effects, and the large amount of unique weapons. I'll agree their condensed and refined in BB, but BB's weapons were also hugely lacking at the release period in terms of variety in visual aesthetics, and several transformed-untransformed being redundant, see the chikage for one example.
>magic is weak, not really
>graphics are weaker than BB
The best part about DaS3's graphics in comparison to BB is the lack of visual mud like chromatic aberration and the various filters BB uses.
>Weak bosses
Wow, you just described like nearly all of Bloodborne's release bosses except 3 or 4!
>Nameless King overrated
Right, the fantastic first phase design, arguably one of the most realised dragon riding concepts in the series is "overrated", the visual spectacle is fucking intense, the fight is amazing even if you didn't find it difficult.
>Hardcore pandering to
literally called dark souls 3, and the "pandering" as you call it is how a sequel should make use of the games lore and does really well at expanding it and introducing more into a new game.
>game is short
BB at release was literally the shortest game in the series
>optional content of low quality, I agree on demon ruins specifically, but smouldering lake, consumed king garden/untended graves and archdragon peak were all pretty great areas.
>Forgettable music

Lol no.

Soul of Cinder, Abyss Watchers, Lothric/Lorian, Nameless King, Dragonslayer Armour, Dancer of the boreal Valley, Pontiff Sulayvahn, The Gundyr's, deacons of the deep, vordt and Yhorm disagree with you heavily.
>Healing is too forgiving

But those games are better played on something else or don't require you blow $350 on the new machine to play. You could play a lot of them on the console you already own. Their problem is a lack of original and exclusive games, far too many rereleases and multiplats. They have a handful of games between them that make the consoles worth buying.

Bloodborne's my favourite personally, but I like all the games.

DaS3 kind of disappointed me, but I think it's just because everything in the game had been done already in other games of the series by that point, it didn't really add anything new other than weapon arts, which are quite a disappointment compared to trick weapons IMO.

The biggest issue I have is the setting, this is the 4th game to have the same medeival setting which has gotten incredibly stale. Not just that, but each area follows a theme that has already been previously done.

>village
>church
>forest
>swamp
>castle
>firey area
>catacombs
It follows the exact same themes as what we've seen 3 or 4 times before and no area other than Irithyl really stuck out to me, and when you actually get inside Irithyl the level design is incredibly linear and disappointing.

In terms of world design, 3's feels the most disconnected other than 2, which I don't understand since Bloodborne went back to the way DaS1's world was connected..

Now onto weapons, yes there are a lot, certainly a lot more than Bloodborne, but there's also a huge issue here;

1) Half the weapons and armour are literally copy/pasted from DaS1 and 2. Now you may think "Well I don't care, I'm happy to have my weaponfu from DaS1 back!". That's fair, but it's still lazy as fuck and no reason that there should be less NEW weapons just because they added a ton of old ones.

2) Most of the weapons have the exact same moveset, and 80% are made literally redundant by the end, as you find vastly superior versions that make the others useless.

3) Weapons arts are incredibly limited, most of the time almost every single weapon in a class has the exact same art. Now you may say "Oh but that takes too many resources to give more weapons unique arts!", and you'd be right IF half the weapons in the game and their movesets weren't copy pasted from DaS1 and 2 exactly as they were with minimal change.

I'm not a DaS3 hater (I actually really enjoy it) but I don't really agree with your statement. There are a lot of similar bossfights and there's a lot of similar mechanics as well.

Vordt = Oceiros

Pontiff (1st phase) = Dancer = Abyss Watchers (2nd phase) = Soul of Cinder = Twin princes (1st phase)

Pontiff (2nd phase) = Twin princes (2nd phase

Crystal Sage = Aldrich (without the occasional swordswing)

Nope. Oceiros' dialogue is actually significant too, unlike le guiding memelight xD
>>
>>335720909
Your answers have some basis, but they're incredibly reaching in almost every way.

I'll start with the one I take most issue with:

Crystal Sage = Aldrich

Crystal Sage's big gimmick is that it spawns in clones, the attacks it uses are nothing like Aldrich's.

Aldrich uses bow attacks when you're at a distance, followed by the sweeping magic blast, when you are up close he will switch to the distended snake like melee movement, before slamming his sword in the ground to activate an aoe and to justify teleportation.

Vordt and Oceiros are fucking nothing alike.

Oceiros's second phase is all about going fucking mental and flying around everywhere like a deranged dragon.

Vordt's second phase is all about becoming a literal wrecking ball, and stays primarily focussed on using his mace to attack, with the few additional moves.

Pontiff and Twin princes second phase are literally nothing alike, have you even played the game?

Twin Princes second phase features lothric on Lorian's back, this is to account for eachother's weaknesses, lorian is protecting lothric, while lothric is now directly adding magic to the battle on the same "boss" essentially. Whereas pontiff splits in to two of the same forms, which telegraph themselves by use of double attacks, which is a unique as fuck idea.

Pontiff is literally nothing like the dancer's first phase, if you actually played the game you'd know that his dancing like motions and pirouetting moves are much more comparable to the dancer's beyblade like area spinning move. Abyss watchers second phase is much more comparable to maria and soul of cinder's second phase.

Comparing Pontiff to lorian is fucking ridiculous as well, Lorian is teleported around and uses slow attacks from mid range, and vicious but, wasteful attacks at close, something pontiff never does.

Soul of cinder, though, that takes the cake.

You are fucking retarded.

Soul of cinder's first phase is literally four different movesets.

Honestly if you can actually say that you think that more than one DaS game is more enjoyable than Bloodborne and Demon Souls its almost definitely because you didn't own a PS3 or PS4

It has branches but there is only one real path thorough it. You have to get past the dragon, you have to go past the big knight, you have to pass by the tar monster, you have to go past the fat knight, you have to fight the boss.

Fuck, Byrgenwerth and the Lecture Hall are some of my favorite areas in the series and you can only reach them after Amelia. Yahar'Gul pre-Rom too, but there is a Sack dude that can kill you before Amelia, so I'm not sure where that falls.

The only level I'd put as top tier from DaS3 is Latria 2.0, aka Irithyll dungeons.

Honestly, how is byrgenwerth even remotely interesting to you outside of the gay ass lore shit

It's like 1 actual building, a couple of enemies with annoyingly bloated health and a boss that is one of the absolute worst in the series.

Lecture building, and nightmare frontier were pretty shit in my opinion too.

I wholeheartedly get why people think there is a noticeable drop in quality after amelia, especially in terms of bosses.

Just a shit area overall.

I enjoyed BB, but there were several areas in DaS3 that were just as good and maybe even better, archdragon peak, irithyll, lothric castle, and cathedral of the deep.
>>
>>335722371
Byrgenwerth and Lecture Hall were so cool when i first arrived but the actually size and content in the two was kinda disappointed given that they're basically just vessels to the nightmares

Cainhurst blew me away though, not only is it a cool as shit setting with rare items and a hidden area after the boss, you can only get there through the summons letter and the cart.
>>
>>335718000

>by most.

Not even close. I wouldn't say it's the second best either.
>>
Now onto bosses. DaS3 has a really mixed bag of bosses, it tries to recapture some of the old DeS 'gimmicky' bosses, but it comes off as a poor imitation or just plain outright bad.

>Sages is a Fools Idol rehash
>Greatwood is an Adjudicator rehash

>Oceiros is just a poor man's Blood-Starved Beast except pukes crystals instead of poison
>Deacons is terrible
>Wolnir is terrible
>Ancient Wyvern is terrible
>Pontiff while good, rehashes the trick

There were very few new and unique feeling bosses. The only ones I felt I hadn't already beaten in a previous game were

>Champion Gungyr
>Dancer
>Princes
>Soul of Cinder
>Dragonslayer Armour (an actual knight in armour boss that felt unique, fucking shocking)

These were all great fights. I'd put Pontiff there too, but he felt too much like Darklurker in the second phase.

I've replayed Bloodborne more than any other Souls.

Replayability comes in the form of weapon variety and moveset, and the combat is so rewarding and satisfying.
Arcane, beast, bloodtinge are all widely different and making a build just to main these things is also insanely fun.
>>
>>335722839
I disagree about pontiff, the move telegraphing and focus on melee made it much more like you were fighting 1.5 bosses rather than 2.

How is Greatwood an adjudicator rehash? That's a bit of a reach.

I disagree about Oceiros, mechanically the fight felt more like fighting a small reptile/dragon than anything resembling a clawed beast.

>Deacons

It's literally the best mob boss From has ever done

Maybe the first phase, but the pretty lava effects and moves, combined with the aggressiveness made this feel a lot better.

>>335721642
Aldritch and Sage will fire homing shit and big soul arrows at you from a distance

Oc doesnt fly around because there is no room in the arena, he just tries to run you over, the same way Vordt does.

Pontiff and Lothric have different gimmicks for their fights but their attack patterns are basically the same: dodge their flurry of 2-4 attacks and attack and roll.

>Soul of cinder's first phase is literally four different movesets.
Which doesnt really make a difference, because they are just movesets of different enemies that you encounter during the game

Bloodborne is my favourite, played all of them since the release of DeS.

All of the games that aren't sequels have merit. Both of the sequels felt kind of weak, I would have rather had X souls or Y borne instead.

DS3 has a lot going for it, but I'm not a big fan of a large chunk of the game just being callbacks. The weapon balance is possibly the worst it has ever been and weapon arts are practically useless.

I'm sure by the time both dlcs are out ds3 will be great, but for now I just consider it good.

Not really, the thrashing moves it does are straight out of BSB's move roster. If anything it felt like a mix between BSB and Seath.

>It's literally the best mob boss From has ever done
Even Rom was a better mob boss, because it could actually kill you and the spiders could pose a threat.

Deacons was even shittier and easier than Pinwheel.

>but the pretty lava effects and moves, combined with the aggressiveness made this feel a lot better.
Yeah, it basically them just turns into a poor man's Laurence during the second phase with the lava gimmick.

I think FROM just needs to take a step back, pumping out these games in such quick succession has clearly impacted their creativity.

for a boss fight i go strictly on mechanics and difficulty i count music and atmosphere as entirely different beasts. seath for example has great music and a bright, vibrant atmosphere but he was a pretty easy boss. manus has an almost all black arena like the four kings (i know the abyss is black) had i guess alright music but was super challenging probably one of the hardest bosses i've fought.

Aldrich and Sage are not similar other than that they both use magic, this entire point is ridiculous.

Pontiff and Lorian's first phase are not alike.

Get to a distance from pontiff and he will either initiate a long combo and fuck you up, (like 6-8 moves) or use his magic weapon.

Get to a distance with lorian and he will crawl towards you, then eventually get teleported, initiate 3 swipe attacks, not spinning like pontiff, a slam attack or a medium distance sword plunge, every once in a while he will teleport away to activate the charge slam.

I get the feeling you are either severely lacking in memory capacity, or didn't actually experience the fight.

Thanks for supporting my arguments, I think I just made a Frombebby rage. I don't really care though, people that don't see the obvious similarities are just blind. It doesn't make the game less enjoyable for me, although I would've liked some more non-swordswiping knight like bosses.

It's a hard call, though, because things like Astraea and even O&S wouldn't be as good as they are without their music and atmosphere. And then you have bosses like Miclash, Wolnir, and Storm King that have a great atmosphere to them but are overall less interesting to fight.

I think it really just depends on what you're looking for in a battle. It's going to vary from person to person.

I personally didn't find Pontiff or the Princes very good fights and all, nor was I fond of O&S. Opinions.

And you always end up playing the same role in combat with Miracles, Sorceries, Pyromancy and Hexes. They're all the exact same shit with a slightly different cast animation, none of them change how you play at all.

The only things that actually make a difference in how you'd play in DaS are;

Literally muhfeels: the boss. Stop being a pansy and realize the the boss fight was completely underwhelming in every sense of the word. From the non existent build up, to the copypasted movesets, to the way he falls down like a bitch.
>but he turns into gwyn and his song gets mixed in 10/10 best boss ever!
>>
>>335724747
Ok, so bosses attack maybe 2-8 times in a row, miss and leave themselves open to a flurry of attacks from someone wielding a dark sword. Is this adequate enough for you?
>>
>>335723853
>it's another hit the weakspot

Yes, but mechanically otherwise, the fights are nothing alike, this is in terms of how you approach the fight, how it plays out, the arena/visuals, everything is different.

It's literally the equivalent of saying deacons and manus are similar fights because you have to hit them.

>thrashing moves straight out of BSB's move roster

No, if anything Oceiros is much more like Sanctuary guardian with the forward thrusting attacks, sweeping claws, breath attacks and flying attack.

>Even rom

>rom better than anyone

This is literally a case where Difficulty =/= Good

Dukes dear freja is how to do the rom fight well.

Rom has
>Tons of minion spiders who do ridiculously large amounts of damage
>Homing ice crystals that do like 90% health damage, fortunately very easy to dodge
>like 90% health damage aoe attacks
>it will spam these attacks unless you are hugging it at which point you will have to dodge it's spasm

Meanwhile, Deacons is actually a fun boss to fight due to the satisfaction of killing like 17 guys at once, has a fantastic fitting soundtrack, and the mobs actually work together in the second phase, which puts it a millions time ahead of rom.

>Laurence

Lol, the cleric beast reskin with bloated health, AOE's on every attack, weird hitboxes and more 80% health nudges

Top tier game design there.

>overall the bosses are the same, as their movesets are copied directly from each other or previous bosses in the series.

so you're telling me that if I made a boss Not-Nito who has all of Nito's moves, and a boss Not-Freja who has all of Freja's moves, they'd be the same?

Are you high?

So I shouldn't buy it?
>>
My problems with bloodborne are pretty minor

first off it would be a great looking game but its so dark and so grey that it hurts my fucking eyes

and secondly theres like 8 jump scare or charge from behind queued enemies in every area and it gets really fucking tiresome after the first 2
>>
>>335724893
>Ok, so bosses attack [x] times in a row, miss and leave themselves open

yes, that is how bossfights work in Dark Souls. Well observed, sherlock.

That gaping dragon attacks and then leaves himself open does not mean he's the same boss as Champion Gundyr because he also attacks and leaves himself open. You've abstracted your argument so far away from what the bosses are actually like that you might as well be saying 'they're the same boss because they're both bosses'

Nah, underwhelming would be a final boss like Moon Presence.

>>335724958
of course you should buy it it's a good game don't listen to the pcucks. it's a helluva lot better than ds2 i'll say that.
>>
>>335724958
You should. It's a fun game and if you enjoy Souls you'll probably enjoy it.

Glorious in every fucking way, each one of his movesets was different, he must have the most moves in the entire series.
>>
>>335724431
>and it's not the most popular one
>literally listing popularity as a reason a game is 'better'
Yes my man, LoL is the most popular game on the planet, therefore it's clearly superior to everything else right! Excellent logic you have to "prove" your point there.

Bloodborne has far more depth in its combat and weapons than DaS, this is a fact. Each weapon in BB has 2 - 3 times the moveset of the ones in DaS, can be customized far more intricately with Blood Gems than infusion in DaS.

In DaS3 you STILL can't even fucking combo into and out of 2H mode, such a simply god damn feature that makes the combat so much more fluid.

Then there's the fact that 80% of the weapons in DaS games are just the same moveset copy and pasted, except 90% of those weapons are made useless by the end of the game as there's always, ALWAYS 2 - 3 weapons in each class that are outright superior to everything else.

Then how about magic? Man I sure do love 50 versions of Souls Arrow, Soul Mass and Lightning Spear, fucking brilliant!

DaS certain does NOT have quality over quantity.
>>
>>335725058
That is what bosses are like in DS3 though, most bosses even share similar characteristics.

>humanoids
>flaming swords everywhere
>do flurries of pointless attacks to leave themselves open
>get rekt by Dark Swords
>>
>>335724747
What the fuck is the difference between two swordwielding fagmeisters besides the angle or the way they swipe their swords? Right nothing. Just because Lorian teleports and then smashes down at you and pontiff lunges at you to smack you doesn't mean it's a completely different thing. For fuck sake you are really far up From's butthole.

Also Pontiff gets a fuckin phantom and Lorian his brother to help them. You are literally swiping two "bosses" at the same time in both fights. If they would have fuckin separated the Twins and let one fuck you up from a far with magic and the other one with melee now then it would be different. I guess they already used that on Dragonslayer armour tho.

>le MOBAs are shit meme

>>335724902
Deacons are braindead easy. Any heavy weapon can one shot them and you can lead them to the other side of the room or use alluring skulls and kill the archdeacon pretty much with impunity.
>>
>>335725356
I know they're easy.

They're still a better mob focussed boss than any other mob boss in the series.
>>
>>335724928
Abyss Watchers is Not-Maria
Old Demon king is Not-Abyssal demon
Vordt = Oceiros
Crystal Sage = Aldritch
Pontiff = Lorian = All bosses in DS2 that swing around heavy weapons
Cinder = Just a bunch of common movesets from common enemies rolled into one

Maybe I left out a few bosses, but thats how unmemorable DS3 is in general
>>
>>335725356
You don't even need a heavy weapon desu, I swiped the fuck out of them with a straight sword.
>>
>>335725609
You forgot Nameless King = Loran Camerabeast
>>
>>335725554
>They're still a better mob focussed boss than any other mob boss in the series.

This is something to be proud of? Its practically the same shit as that mob fight in DS2 where you also kill cultists
>>
>>335725554
I had way more fun fighting Rom than Deacons.

personally, i think the story and lore is best in BB

You better watch out bro, I already posted this before >>335720909 and people are literally crying and raging.

this is valid for other games, but BB is legitimately, objectively a great game
>>
>>335725356
You cant even be swarmed to death by them, because one of them will cast Emit force and knock you to safety
>>
>>335725815
Though I will admit that the Deacons fight has really good atmosphere and music.
>>
>>335724902
>This is literally a case where Difficulty =/= Good
Holy shit you are truly delusional, like impressively so.

You're honestly trying to claim Deacons is anything but absolute trash? I mean I don't particularly like Rom either, but it's definitely a better fight than Deacons by a mile.

>>Tons of minion spiders who do ridiculously large amounts of damage
The entire point of the fight is multitasking the spiders with Roms attacks. Deacons obviously tried to do something similar but failed so hard that it's practically impossible for them to kill you unless you're mentally retarded.

>>Homing ice crystals that do like 90% health damage, fortunately very easy to dodge
You complain about it being difficult, then claim it's easy. What the fuck anon.

>>like 90% health damage aoe attacks
You realise the AoE has a gigantic wind up, right?

>>it will spam these attacks unless you are hugging it at which point you will have to dodge it's spasm
The boss has different attacks it will dynamically change to depending on your current position in the fight, this is somehow a bad thing.

Again, Rom is all bout multitasking which is what makes it at least somewhat challenging.

>You have to constantly be aware of the position of the spiders as they can kill you in 2 hits
>If you opt to kill the spiders first, you have to be constantly looking for sound and visual cues off Rom for his meteor shower, as he won't just let you kill all the spiders freely
>You have to constantly be aware of your distance from him as his attack change depending on that
>when you go up to wail on him you have to be aware that he can thrash and AoE to punish greed

I don't like the boss, but there's no denial it has far more depth to it than Deacons. Deacons was the biggest pile of shit I've ever had the displeasure of playing in this series, literally worse than anything in DaS2.
>>
>>335725609
Which enemies use scimitars and backflip?
Which enemies use soulstream/crystal soulmass/and that other one
Which enemies explode in a giant fiery AoE?
don't say those suicide guys

Aldrich was fucking SHIT though.

These arguments are generally all ridiculous, but they hold just as much weight as yours.

GUYS I LIKE BOTH GAMES STOP ARGUING PLEASE

>>335725221
Nice way to strawman yourself into showing the literal retard you are. I never once never claimed Dark Souls is better because it's more popular
>Bloodborne has far more depth in its combat and weapons than DaS, this is a fact.
Removed equip load, reduced stamina on dodges and parries are far easier and abusable. Hardly 'far more depth'.
>can be customized far more intricately with Blood Gems
You mean using Blood Gems that suit your build? So much customization.
>Then there's the fact that 80% of the weapons in DaS games are just the same moveset copy and pasted, except 90% of those weapons are made useless by the end of the game as there's always, ALWAYS 2 - 3 weapons in each class that are outright superior to everything else.
Nice meme, most weapons have unique moves and you can finish the game with a goddamn dagger.
>Then how about magic? Man I sure do love 50 versions of Souls Arrow, Soul Mass and Lightning Spear, fucking brilliant!
Again with the retarded hyperbole. Dark Souls has more utility spells than BB. Iron Flesh, Power Within, Chameleon, Flash Sweat, Aural Decoy, Fall Control, Tranquil Walk of Peace, Force. Just to name a few.

Bosses in DS3 have music?

>>335726408
A fully specced arcane build in Bloodborne is far more competitive than a ds3 int build in PvP combat.
>>
>>335726449
Tbph some boss themes are pretty god tier
Soul of Cinder, Yhorm and Twin princes are pretty good.

BB still has the best music in the series though

DeS and DaS had garbage music except gwyn's theme.
>>
>>335726118
imo Dark souls had better level design/layout n shit but has always had mediocre bossesWith a few exceptions

Bloodbornes bosses were much betterbut not amazing, while having a good theme, gothic architecture werewolves n shit, Wasn't quite as good as dark souls general level layoutignoring DaS2
>>
>>335726432
>metacritic
lmao
I guess The Last of Us is better than Bloodborne

Friendly reminder if you didn't play DeS on release you're not allowed to have an opinion on the series.
