Demon's Souls was fun but it was just way too easy compared to the rest of the series.
>>336433458
Yeah that's how I feel.
The weird thing is, I see some people who love these games but do terribly on ones that are seemingly easier like SMB3. My cousin for example. He quit early on but typically sticks with Souls games no matter how difficult it gets. He also does pretty well on them.
>>336433770
Maybe they love certain parts of a game and not just based on its difficulty? I didn't play the Souls games because they hard or some shit, I just love the lore, atmosphere and the dungeon crawling aspect of it.

>>336434136
Okay, how many hours does someone need to devote to Dark Souls in order to properly review it?
>>336434262
It was easier because it wasn't his first souls game.
>There are people who didn't play the series in order.
>>336434290
I'd say up to Ornstein and Smough which for most players is around 25 hours. At that point you've seen what the series has to offer in full and the rest of the game is just going the distance.
>>336432394
> Unpopular opinion that is 100% true
DS1: 4/10, stopped after a few hours because it was very slow and not engaging at all
Skipped 2 because I heard it was shit
DS3: 3/10. borrowed it from a friend and somehow managed to have even less fun with it. The only thing it had going for it was graphics and even this they weren't anything special.
I like a challenge, but honestly these games are just straight boring.

Then they're delusional because they don't praise the sun. You can't not like these games asshole. Dark Souls has such deep lore, and it's the hardest game that's ever been made. I mean I've never played anything like Ninja Gaiden NES, but I'm pretty sure it's just artificial difficulty. These are real challenges motherfucker, and only casuals don't like them. You, who the fuck are you? Who the fuck do you think you are? You beat Lost Levels? So fucking what. You beat Contra? Don't give a flying fuck. Only real men like these titles.

Dark souls 1 - 8/10
Too flawed and vague for its own good. Needed a guide if you were building a character that wasn't melee and even then, you still needed a guide cause of things like; hard caps, resistances, buffs, stacking, itemization, upgrading. Even when you did know what to do, nothing comes easily and requires hard commitment.
Dark Souls 2 - 7/10
Better in how you upgrade items, covenants, magic of all kinds, story. But faulty in one core asset: Gameplay. Enemies would do 180 turns mid swing, some enemies could only be dodge in one direction, bad hit boxes that cause SHOCK WAVES. Better from the player character side when dealing with items, upgrades and more, worse in every way that wasn't.
Dark Souls 3 - 9/10
Dark Souls 1 taken up a few notches and more. Only downside is that the miracle list of spells is lack luster, but there are more builds, more weapons, more armors, more spells, more enemies, more bosses more of everything than ever before. Pretty gud, would buy DLC day one for.

The Ludwig theme going into its second phase and Orphan of Kos being that much better than every fight in the main game left a pretty damn good impression.
Granted, I played The Old Hunters and Bloodborne itself (as in actually going through the full game) months apart, so it might just have been the game finally clicking for me as I played the dlc

My first souls game. Completely kicked my ass, didn't even finish till after I had completed DaS1.
>Dark Souls 1 - 10/10
I remember only renting this game because of all the threads on /v/ on release day. Played only a hour before I decided to go out and pay full price for the game. So far no other game has matched the sense of discovery and awe DaS1 has given me.
>Dark Souls 2 + DLC - 7/10
Honestly, hype is what killed this game for me. I enjoyed DaS2 but not nearly as much as DaS1 or DeS.
>Dark Souls 3 - 8/10
Felt like at this point I was way too acquainted with the souls series, all the callbacks pretty much fell flat for me. Shit like the wyvern on the castle or siegward felt predictable. I enjoyed the game, but I feel like the issues I talked about have more to do with me being bored of souls then any actual problem with the game.
I bought Demon's Souls the month it came out with very little knowledge of the game, other than "it's fucking hard". Everything that came after had to live up to it.
DeS - 9.5/10
DS1 - 9/10

Only 70 hours into DS3, but at least 250+ in each of the other 3. DeS and DS1 are amazing games, DS2 felt too easy and almost rehashed, DS3 feels fresher.

Souls games are one of the blessings of modern games.
FTL and Legend of Grimrock 2 are another couple blessings.
How the hell does anyone rate Bloodborne higher than literally any souls game? It plays like a character action game, why not just pick up some Devil May Cry or Beyonetta or something.
Even the story isn't all that impressive. It doesn't take inspiration from Lovecraftian cosmic horror, it just is. There's no unique or interesting concepts here. It's just "Like, what if dreams and space monsters." The themes are done to death, they've been being explored for almost a hundred years.
I don't get it. Is this shit just a fucking meme or something?
>>336438664
>the dream areas don't do anything with the fact they don't take place in reality other than 'spooky' revamps of shit enemies
>>336438664
Bloodborne is slightly more playable then the rest. At least that game gives you some room for error instead of "opps you didn't land your frame prefect roll into backstab, get shit on kiddo BBB))))".

You can make a game have shitty controls, and you can make it hard, you can't do both.

Dark souls is seldom that punishing, but I understand what you're getting at and I honestly do believe it's what makes the combat system in souls better.
To play proficiently in souls you have to plan your moves, you have to learn your enemies and the areas. Even with simple enemies you end up counting swings, guessing at how much stamina they have and when it'll be safe to attack.
I also understand why you think the game has shitty controls, but in reality it's a design choice. When you attack in Dark Souls you're committed to that attack, you can't cancel halfway through to dodge or block so you better make sure when you choose you're making a good decision. That's part of what makes the combat so good, you have to think about it.

>Dark Souls - 8/10
Good for my first foray into the genre, and "harsh but fair" is the best way I can describe it. A few level design issues keep it from being better (walking across a small beam, for example, is stupid because your characters feet don't even touch the beam half the time).
>Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin - 7.5/10
Significantly refined gameplay, especially the better framerate, but far too 'hey guys remember that thing from the first game, here is something that vaguely references it'. Bosses were a disappointment, and gank squads rather than 'harsh but fair' enemies as the first game.
>Dark Souls III - 8/10
Basically the same as the first game, desu. Better looking, obviously, and a medium ground between the difficult single enemies of the first, and the easy-but-numerous enemies of the second game made for good combat moments.
Story-wise, I wish they either made it another non-sequel, or a straight up sequel (which doesn't just mean returning characters).

Demon's Souls - 10 (admittedly biased), probably more in line with an 8
Dark Souls - 10, captures the sense of isolation, and adventure in a new world really well. Nice challenge, and every build was pretty viable, good weapon and equipment variety, and a lot of quality of life changes compared to Demon's.
Artorias of the Abyss DLC - 7, Definitely over rated. Artorias is an ok fight, but everything else about the DLC is mediocre I feel. Didn't add enough for enough builds, it's mostly just Dark Magic and Pyromancy, and a handful of weapons. The single most over rated DLC.
Dark Souls 2 - 6, honestly it's just so fucking boring and dull. It looks like dogshit, it has huge performance issues (on ps3). The sense of adventure is gone and it feels like a chore. Bosses are a joke, and are only difficult because most enemies have incredibly delayed sweeping attacks that catch players off guard. Shit envionrments, shit world, shit characters, shit bosses, but still playable.
Bloodborne - 8, post DLC-9. Bloodborne is definitely the smallest one, and I wasn't a huge fan of the aesthetic and themes initially. I like the trick weapons and felt the game was a bit of a roller coaster. A lot of shit bosses, and a lot of the best bosses in the series. DLC introduced mostly good bosses and areas and a lot more weapons which add a lot of replayability. Story is kind of retarded Souls style of not giving you any details.
Dark Souls 3 - 7. Felt incredibly limited. I hated going back to Majula structure again when Dark Souls 1 was all about isolation. Way too many bonfires, in the beginning, goes back to a more Dark Souls style with less bonfires and more shortcuts towards the end. Severe lack of being able to sequence break and the NPC questlines require a guide. Incredibly linear. FROM apparently has a boner for bosses and enemies being on all fours for some reason like everyone in Boreal Valley and Lothric has fucking spina bifida and it looks fucking retarded.
>>336432394
dark souls 1 : like an 8 out of 10 maybe
dark souls 2 : its pretty decent not too shabby kind of like an 8 out of ten sorta

>>336441624
Yes, I didnt find it any better or worse than Dark souls.

Ofcourse he didnt. he's the same kind of retard that calls nioh a dark souls clone, because he thinks dark souls invented stamina bars, campfires where you level up, and fighting with weapons.

The first Das and Des are objectively fucking shit now.
Because of Bloodborne the only Souls that don't feel clunky while playing is BB an DaS3.
Hell i would even rate DaS2 higher than the first one. Thats how outdated it is.
>>336441726
I actually think Nioh would be more fun and interesting if it wasn't so clearly under the heavy influence of souls.
If it was SAMURAI NINJA GAIDEN straight up I would love that shit.
I think it's that I just didn't put in enough time to understand the mechanics, I have a hard time giving a shit about demos
>>336433115
I think it was the first game's aptmosphere that made it so popular.
The gameplay is sort of hit or miss - you either love it, or you don't. I can still play the first game even though I get annoyed with it just because I find it immersive.
The third game sort of recaptures it, but I haven't gotten into it nearly as much.
>>336441785
>The first Das and Des are objectively fucking shit now.
>i would even rate DaS2 higher than the first one
>>336441726
But nioh does use the darksouls ui, item system, bloodstained viewing system and reviving at bonfire mechanics
>>336441785
Replay DS2 and say that to my fucking face. I'm currently playing it right now,
I'm 5 hours in. I've killed Freyja and Sinner, and I'm soul level 81 powerstancing a +8 and +6 mace.
It is so ungodly slow paced you have no idea. Swinging anything feels ungodly slow. R1ing a mace is ridiculous.
Pretty sure a 2HR2 with a zweihander is faster, hell, a standard R1 with a zwei is probably faster.

DLC saved it, liked some of the simplified changes such as boss souls trading, unmemorable characters and bosses lacked oomph, hate the hub area but at least loading was quick on PC.

PVP was shit, build variety lacking but DLC helped, enjoyed the change in tone throughout, great atmosphere, I like the chalice dungeons, awful healing methods that was already solved in past games, hate the hub area and lantern functionality.
Dark Souls 3 - 7/10
Too many reused ideas, too many bonfires, too many item ambushes, great build variety, why another fucking hub area, music was top fucking notch, too linear, love the added pvp mechanics
I like them a bunch but struggling to play Dark Souls 3 any more already. Wish it changed the old mechanics more like the bloodstains in Nioh for example.

Agreed, 40/40 with Straight Sword #2 has to be my favorite build.

Didn't both with the others because Demon's Souls was boring. Not awful or anything, but just boring. The combat system isn't particularly interesting, all the bits between bosses just feels like padding and if I just want boss fights there are other games I can look to. The world tendency thing was also dumb.

How the fuck are you meant to know if you'll like a game if you don't play it?
5/10 is average anyway, not bad. I've played and enjoyed lots of average games for what they were.

Ok this should be rephrased. Why did he pay for them we he could have easily pirated the games and played them that way
DeS - 9/10
DaS - 10/10
DaSII - 8/10
>>336432394
Des: 8-9/10
DaS (without the DLC): 7-8/10
DaSII: SotFS: 6/10
DaSIII: 7/10 from a mechanical standpoint. But probably a 5/10 for enjoyment since the series felt tired to me by this point.
>>336432394
only PvEwise
DS1: 6+/10, atmosphere and novelity hooked me up, combat was awful
DS2: 5/10, +hub, +eating many souls at once, -not turning during swings, -shockwaves/shit hitboxes (1 suffered from this as well, but not as much)
DS3: 7-/10, it doesn't excel at anything, but doesn't do anything completely shit; character finally doesnt feel like cripple, but some monsters got crazy moves to compensate; quests are annoying; many people complain about linearity, it didn't bother me
>>336432394
Haven't played.
>>336432394
Never played Demon's Souls (Fuck you, neither did you)
Dark Souls: 9.4
Dark Souls 2: 8.2
Dark Souls 2 SOTFS: 8.5
Bloodborne: 8.9
Dark Souls 3: 8.9
This is adding up all aspects from the games, and mostly not ignoring the fact Bloodborne is missing so much and that DSII has so much shit in terms of weapons and armor and even items

the only one I own is DS3 since I heard it was supposed to be better than the last two and the best in the series.
Turns out the series being good was just a meme afterall.

If DaS3 has godly DLC it could be a 9.5.
>mfw dark souls 2 is by far the best game in the series
>mfw the music is by FAR the most thematically fitting of the series and actually represents boss movements and tactics incredibly well
>mfw the level design is condensed with fun and consistent enemy placement
>mfw the pvp isn't barren and desolate because soul memory removes wooden level restrictions and you can invade hollows now
>mfw the weapon design, armour design and relative abundance of said things is the most consistent of the series in quality throughout the game
>mfw the atmospheric value of areas such as drangleic castle, shrine of amana and undead crypt including the other varieties of areas we were given, were simply outstanding for the relative problem from software have of succesfully putting atmospheric experience in their game design.
>mfw the bosses are the fairest and least mechanically bugged in the series as of yet.
>mfw the game offers the biggest quality of any vanilla souls title so far
>mfw the dlc for this game is coming out as post game completion created content, unlike artorias of the abyss which was ripped from pre-development
>mfw the only reason there is a massive wankforce is because people are having the same transition from demons souls whereby they realise just how uncreative from software are with their sequels and extended series
>mfw people might ACTUALLY think that demons souls is an original game
>mfw people are actually delusional enough to claim dark souls 1 is a better game than dark souls 2.
>mfw people actually claim that demons souls is anything other than the less realised bland skeleton the future souls games massively improved upon thematically.

The way I played at least, it wasnt that apparent then.
Taurus Demon was worst in that case, with some vertical swipe that had way longer hitbox than attack animation (I bet it was flying invisble rocks from hitting ground!). I think Ornsteins charge with spear had longer hitbox as well.
More apparent thing was enemy attacks going through environment, especially annoying on O&S fight, but this is going for whole series. Same grade of flaw would be friendly fire being turned on, only when director wishes it.
And about hitboxes kalamet was clusterfuck, but so are all fucking dragons/wyverns in this series.

DaS - 8/10
Das 2 - 6/10
BB - 9/10
DaS 3 - 7/10
Personally. DaS had the potential but due to the second half I think BB is the more complete experience. I only appreciate BB more now because DaS is starting get stale.
Demon's 9/10
Dark 1 9.5/10
Dark 2 5/10
Dark 2.1 7/10
Dark 3 8.5/10
Bloodborne 8/10
In perspective, there's a lot less fun going through DaS3 with a lot of new characters in than DaS1.
DaS1 is solid fun up until Bed of Chaos and the super long trek there but Artorias DLC more than makes up for it.
Bloodborne is cool up until the start of Nightmare of Mensis in which it becomes complete and utter cancer. It also feels pretty short, even if I don't ignore Chalice Dungeons.
Reason why DeS isn't better than DaS1 is that World Tendency is tedious to manipulate.
DaS2 and DaS2.1 were just multiplayer romps for me because the PVE and plot just didn't work together. The DLC areas and bosses were super fun for me though which is why DaS2.1 scores significantly higher.
Dark Souls - 9/10 overall
Dark Souls II - 6/10
Dark Souls II + DLC - 7/10, 8.5/10 for DLC alone
Dark Souls III - 8/10

I don't understand why everyone loves BB.
I found it to be an inherently and universally flawed experience which tried to reinvent the Souls combat, but it was in actuality just wearing new clothes, and the clothes didn't even fit right.
Obviously I haven't played DaSII but from what I've seen it seems incredibly boring.
Also there's skating fucking everywhere, even on the player character.
It bugs the shit out of me, it looks so awful.
The aesthetic in general in DaSII just looks wrong.
>Demon's Souls
8/10. Fun game where everything is dripping with character and atmosphere. Different from the rest of souls in that you're more likely to get killed by the environment than the bosses themselves, and every boss having both a gimmick AND a weapon made from their soul gives them more personality than they had any right having. Also the endings resonate with you for quite a while.
>DaS1
6/10. First half is really good, it's a much more dangerous and grimdark world than DeS, and beating a boss isn't just "exploit the weakness". However, it just falls apart after Oreos and S'mores, with the final good boss being Seath. DLC's fantastic tho, everything a DLC should strive to do is done in AotA. All in all, a worthwhile experience, but not as good as it's predecessor
>DaS2
7/10. One step in the right direction, two steps in the wrong. A logical continuation on the world of DaS, using the "oh time's all fucked here" excuse to it's advantage to create a unique odyssey through strange locations. Vast build variety is neat, but only a few weps are actually worth using, and the bosses aren't that great. Also the DLCs are pretty awful, and the payoff for completing them is really lame.
>Bloodborne
8/10. Demon's Souls but cranked to 11 at the cost of losing an arm and a leg. Your arsenal is now quality over quantity, you get a small selection of great and intuitive weapons instead of a huge variety of weapons with only a few that are actually good. The Gothic atmosphere is amazing, and the twist midway through the game is spectacular. However, Nothing truly warrants a second playthrough besides trying different builds (arcane and bloodtinge), or DLC (which is almost insultingly hard btw), and chalice dungeons feel like an afterthought followed by a very bitter slap to the face if you want to get the platinum.
DaS 9/10
DaS II 5/10 (no DLC), 6/10 (with DLC)

>every boss having both a gimmick AND a weapon made from their soul
hold up, there are only 10 boss soul weapons.
Demon's Souls uniques are miles ahead of those in Dark Souls though.
>>336449914
I can't decide whether those or the face rapers are the worst enemy in all of Souls.
Dark Souls 3 had some ridiculous enemies.

name one perfect game then if you think that 9/10 or 10/10 means perfection.
>DeS
Best atmosphere and setting. Great soundtrack. Novelty of being first.
>DaS
Best world exploration. Most comfy world. Great story and characters.Best lore
>DaS2
Lots of good mechanics. Some awful mechanics. Worst setting/atmosphere/characters/gameplay/everything.
>BB
At first, underwhelming. In retrospect and post DLC, the most well plotted and thoughtout story and setting. One of the most interesting games I have ever played, setting, story, atmosphere wise. Great gameplay but with shitty replay value and variety in comparison to other Souls which keeps it from truly excelling.
>DaS3
Scores the same as DaS1, great world and gameplay. Fantasy elements starting to seem a little washed out compared to BB's fantasy. DLC will probably add a lot. Makes up for DaS2 in every way.

I finished Dark Souls a while ago and absolutely loved it, it's now one of my favourite videogames.
I'm now playing Dark Souls 2 and it feels..kinda meh. Everything feels meh, I'm not sure how to explain it. Movement somehow feels clunkier despite the fact that I'm playing on higher fps than I did DS1. Backstab is a fucking flurry of slashes. The dialogue is terrible. The difficulty is apparently all about throwing several enemies at you at once, including archers you cant instantly reach. You can warp from the start.
..I don't know maybe it's just me being weird but I swear it feels like someone watched a lets play of Dark Souls and tried to replicate it or something.
I'm only at the start so I hope it gets better. If not I'm not even sure I'll bother finishing it and DS3.
I don't rate with numbers, but in terms of enjoyment:
DaS perfected what Demon's tried to do. Less atmospheric but better level design and I played the most pvp here as I got into the series when pvp in Demon's was already dead.
DaS3 is a very worthy successor and might take the no 1 spot depending on how much they fix pvp.
Demon's was a unique experience but it's kind of hard to replay for some reason. Boletaria is the greatest video game level ever made though, follow by 4 - 1.
Bloodborne didn't do anything for me sadly. Cool first experience but too drab. Fishing Hamlet was fucking amazing though. Old Hunters was so much better than the main game.
DaS2 is a mixed bag. Has cool places that are negated by the shitshow that is the rest of the game. Drangleic castle was neat, Eleum Loyce's main area too. Had some nice pvp here too.
>>336452895
Well now reading the thread it seems most people didn't like DS2 much but liked 3 better. So there's hope I guess.
I'll probably just rush 2 and jump into 3.
DeS: 9/10
DaS: 10/10
DaS2: 9/10

Dark Souls 2 is the ugliest fucking game i've ever seen, holy shit.
Demon's is the best
