ok
>>335789828
both memegames
>>335789897
you're mom is a meme
Add nioh
Demon's Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh are patrician raste video games
>>335789828
This means you have to take my opinion seriously.
DeS > DaS = DaS3 > BB > DaS2
>>335790531
Good taste senpai.
>>335790531
if you didnt play them in release order then your opinion is also invalid, cocksucker.
i bet you don't even own the asian import version of DeS
DS > BB > DeS > DS3 > DS2
>>335790713
I don't own the Asian import version but I did play them in release order.
That's some bad taste btw.
>>335790820
Your taste is bad.
>BB just above DS2
literal shit
If I may,
BB > DaS > DeS > DaS3 > DaS2
I haven't played a Soulsborne I disliked.
>>335790932
BB is the third best game in the series according to my list so what's the problem? It's still pretty fucking great while DaS2 is only just okay.
>>335791252
me too anon
but in the end DS1 is just the best
it's so comfy
I really don't like the direction DS3 took, i wanna kill fucking demons and dragons not some terrifying grotesque abomination
I had enough of that in BB
>>335789828
Oh good.
I like the art and worldbuilding. Voice acting is always top notch as well.
I despise the simplistic gameplay and their lack of dedication to making the games either difficult or easy. Everything is in the cheesy spectrum where enemies are built to wreck you with cheesy bullshit but you can easily resolve it by doing cheesy shit right back, so you're constantly forced to play in this anticlimactic, unintuitive manner.
Some levels are designed wonderfully and others just feel like they had a hazard quota and had to make something dangerous every x feet or just decide to cop out of making real dangers by making wide swaths of entire areas a hazard.
Stats are poorly thought out, typically imbalanced, and often extraneous to the point of worthlessness. Why level up in five or six things to balance your character when the game is going to cheese you straight through your balance? Just dump it all in one or two places and up your own cheese coefficient.
Bosses are often lackluster and built in antithesis to the idea of what a boss is meant to be. Interesting areas are often followed up by unmitigated failures of bosses who don't even use thematic attacks tailored to their area. The closest they get is sometimes giving fire damage to bosses in firey areas.
The community wasn't originally a failure owned by the series, but as time went on and the company invested itself into these people, it claimed them. There's hardly a more vitriolic or delusional fanbase, outside of Gearbox adherants and the odd occasional Blizzard worshipper. Soulsblrne fanatics refuse to admit any fault of their franchise except as an apologetic opener to lead into
>but x game is worse
>but it's irrelevant because x feature
>but you can't make better
>but (insert excuse here)
just to make their argument falaciously seem neutral.
I have more complaints, but not characters. Enjoy disparaging my points with memes and buzzwords without real arguments.
>>335791750
>Everything is in the cheesy spectrum where enemies are built to wreck you with cheesy bullshit but you can easily resolve it by doing cheesy shit right back
That's only applies to DS3
Any order is fine, as long as 2 is last.
>>335791681
If you wanna go in to comfy territory, then I'm gonna power rank the hubs now, and if you don't, well no consent, I'm doing so in reply to your post anyway.
Majula > Hunter's Dream > Nexus > Firelink 3 > Firelink 1
I can't get over how comfy the sunset washing over the waves that lick the beach and cliffs below Majula is, best hub music too in my imo.
>>335791991
i agree with this list
majula is the best
ds2 is the worst though
Gameplay objective rating.
>BB > DaS3 > DeS > DaS = DaS2.
>>335792246
depends on what do you account for gameplay
DS2 shits on every others for build variety
>>335790820
>bad taste
thats the objective right order
If you're one of these absolute morons that thinks DaS3 is better than DaS then re-evaluate your own taste
>>335790820
>he's one of the absolute faggots that thinks DS3 = DaS
>says someone else has bad taste
OST Rating:
DeS>BB>DSIII>DS1>DSII
>>335792526
BB>DeS>DS3>DS1>DS2
fixed that for you
>>335791991
Hunter's Dream = Nexus > Firelink 3 > Firelink 1 > Majula
Dream, Nexus and Firelink 3 get bonus points for acknowledging a shift in the narrative and having excellent music in both phases. Firelink 1 is the most snug and is the only one to be revisited organically through shortcuts and loop-arounds.
Majula's music gets on my nerves.
>>335792559
Ask anyone who's played all the games to hum BB's theme and 90% of them won't remember it.
>>335792594
it's comfy ranking though
and majula is objectively the comfiest
>dat sea
>dat sun
>dat open space
>dat many npcs
People can't contain their shit in console wars or gpu wars, but feel the need to start to shit on people who even like the same games they do.
This is great.
>>335792660
I honestly don't know about that, the music box/Wet Nurse/latter half credits music theme is pretty haunting
>>335792660
the only music i can remember from DeS is the maiden astrea music
but thats probably because its so long ago
>>335791991
>>335792594
I think Hunter's Dream is overrated.
The burning house part is nice, but other than that, there's nothing to it
>>335790713
You're so misguided it's unreal. You never have to play a game that doesn't have anything to do with the series to judge. I just started playing Bloodborne and since it's a spiritual successor, it's not part of the series. Bloodborne may play like souls, but it's not part of that series, and it's not a souls game, it's Bloodborne.
>>335792871
that skirt is so hot
>>335792063
What an odd selection of bosses
I want to try getting Djura to remain unhostile, but I read that to do so you must approach from Darkbeast Paarl's route, and follow the path all the way to sneaking up behind him.
However, to get to the Unseen City the first time you need to get kidnapped by the wackity wack get in my sack guys, which is triggered by killing the BSB, and you can't get to the BSB without triggering Djura to shoot at you.
I just need to know, does it matter if he shoots at you or ever gets aggro'd against you up until this point?
As in if you've gotten him to shoot you, can you still de-aggro him by talking to him later?
In my first file I just killed him because he was always hostile.
>>335793025
It was the artist drawing his favorite bosses after he finished his first playthrough iirc
I fucking hate this board
>>335793152
He can shoot at you. I just did a run where I did Old Yarnham the normal way and just left Djura alive, and then came back after I did Paarl brom the back way and befriended him.
what a cringeworthy thread
i share the same board with these faggots
>>335789828
reminder if you never made a movie then you opinion on movies are invalid
>>335789828
Demon's Souls = Great atmosphere and levels, flawed gameplay, generally terrible bosses and poorly implemented mechanics (Tendency, Item burden etc). NG+ is unfair if you didn't get a good build going before starting it due to the massive increase in enemy health and damage.
Dark Souls = Great world and pretty good bosses but gets worse after Anor Londo. Covenants where poorly implemented.
Dark Souls 2 = Mediocre world, a mix between great and mediocre bosses and pretty good covenants. Fantastic build variety.
Bloodborne =Haven't played yet_____________________________________________________________________
Dark Souls 3 = Good world, fantastic bosses and terrible build variety. Covenants are okay.
>>335793190
>a clock tower that isn't taller than the other houses around it
10/10 design
>>335793152
What you need to do is sprint through Old Yharnam, but don't even touch a single beast down there. If you so much as fall on one and do 3 damage or something then you'll have goofed. What you need to do is sprint through Old Yharnam till you're behind Djura's tower and where his buddy below him won't aggro any further. If you're in the Cathedral, I think you're safe to hurt the monsters there, but I wouldn't to be safe.
Once you start seeing the werewolf dudes you're free to defend yourself, get the shortcut open, kill Blood Starved Beast, get kidnapped, kill Paarl, come up on Djura from behind, and you should be 100% good and Djura should be non-hostile.
>>335789828
>he still thinks Dark Souls has anything to do with DeS and BB
Poor OP
>>335793539
also my opinion is that i dont like a game were the best way to play it is just abusing invincibility frames. that and being up the bosses ass the most of the time looks dumb but is the best way to play. . .. but i will get to playing them someday
>>335793669
You can hurt the beasts your first time through and still befriend him later. You just can't hurt any beasts that are in his shooting range after you've befriended him (killing beasts in the lower part of the city and in the cathedral where they have the blood starved beast is fine). Of course you really only need to befriend him for the emote he gives you and the dialogue if you want to hear it. After that he should be killed for his clothes.

Thanks for the help
>>335794036
You can't do any damage to any of the beasts in his line of site or he'll be hostile when you come up from behind, did they change it?
>>335793152
You can anything you like in Old Yharnam as long as you don't try to climb the tower and confront Djura like >>335793426 says. >>335793669 has the wrong idea.
>>335789828
Reminder that if you played DeS first, your opinion is invalid.
DaS>BB=DS3>DS2>DeS
>>335794209
I literally just did it. I don't think it ever was that way, just /v/ bullshit.
If it happened to you, a dumbass beast in his shooting range probably walked off a cliff or something. Even then I think it can still be reset if you respawn back at Paarl.
>>335794209
They must've, because on my last run I slaughtered every single beast in Old Yharns like I always do and he was still willing to talk once I approached from the Darkbeast Grave.
>>335789828
ok
I've played both but haven't gotten around to play Dark Souls 2 or 3, what am I missing?
>>335794338
Reminder that if you put DaS as the best one your opinion is invalid

>>335794573
Pirate DaS3, it continues the story of DaS1 in a meaningful way.
DaS2 is fine if you're really craving more, but it's skippable in the long run.
Arguably the best of the series for PvP though.
>>335795162
>it continues the story of DaS1 in a meaningful way.
Reminder that if you didn't start with the first King's Field when it got released, you are not allowed to have opinions on the souls games.
>>335789828
nope
>>335795162
Cheers. I'll get around to both, eventually.
>>335794736
>video games cost money
What? No they don't.
>>335795376
>when it got released
But it was JP only
>>335795630
Which means you're not allowed to have opinions on the souls games.
>>335789828
Reminder that anyone who has played the full Soulsborne series on their ideal platforms agrees that BB is either third or fourth place in terms of quality.
>>335795708
I played every game and BB is the best one however.
>>335795708
BB has the best core gameplay and the best music, atmosphere and story. There are just certain poor decisions that drag it down like chalice dungeons in general, blood gems, and how carryll runes take so long to get and aren't nearly as varied or good as souls rings and factions take even longer to join and are pretty uninspired.
Also the bullshit with having to sit through multiple loading screens to go back to hunter's dream, level up, and the go back to where you wanted to go. DS1 did this so right and I have no idea why they keep insisting on fucking this up since. DS1 also did health the best and they keep fucking with it for no good reason. Of course DS1 is a painfully obvious half-finished game so it's hard to call it the best even though everyone dickrides it the most.
>>335790334
The game isnt even out yet
>>335796332
If Dark Souls 1 wasn't rushed they wouldn't have implemented the feature to level up at bonfires, but have another maiden (Priscilla) to do it.
>>335795708
Not true at all.
>>335792063
PCuck here, I never played Bloodborne but from what I heard it was about great ones and cthulu, so I have to ask why do I always see like spooky skeletons and zombies in the game? Are those things also in the cthulu mythos or are they something else?
Borrowed a PS4 for one weekend to try out Bloodborne, ended up playing through the game once to get the ending where you turn into a maggot.
Liked the way the weapons were designed, but PVP was absolute crap and and the "animu dash" that replaces roll in that game felt a little bit weird even though seemed to fit the feel of the game a bit better.
I'd say BB is a solid 3/5 simply because of having some fresh elements to it that I found aesthetically pleasing but people praising it as the best souls-like game I can't really agree with.
>>335796332
holy shit the loading screens, never again.
>>335797632
>that replaces roll
Quit abusing lockon, loser.
>>335795162
DS2 PVP has massive issues with phantom reach, however SotFS did improve it quite a bit.
Once DS3 bugfixes improve the situation however, I could see it having the best PVP. Some balacing is also in order really, since the PVP scene is vastly occupied by a very small percentage of the weapon demographic. This might just be partially due to people not realising the potential of some less popular weapons, but still the straightswords and estocs are far too commonplace currently. Been trying out different weapons myself to find something that has a decent moveset kit and damage output.
>>335797045
The skellyweggle is a Dark Beast, which are undead beasts and are no more than papery skin and bones and patches of fur, also blue lightning

>>335798160
Legally, enough to lose custody.
>>335798231
technically it's correct to say BB isn't a Souls game as it doesn't have Souls in it's name :3
Neither does it take place in the same universe either.
>>335798389
i think i agree with you but i was more concerned with what pepers the froge was doin there
