Why is Dark Souls one of the few games that actually let you look and feel like a knight?
There's so many fucking RPGs on the market and they all give you retarded looking fantasy armor.
Actual knight armor looks sick. It makes no sense as to why more games don't design their armor based off it.
>>337245513
Women have never been involved in any real battle throughout history so there's no real basis for them.

This is why in Skyrim I keep my Ebony armour. Fuck that other shit, I'd poke my eye out just reaching around to scratch my ass in Daedric.
>>337246465
The Elite Knight set is the bare bones epitome of what a knight looks and moves like in our cultural consciousness. It's the Knights of the Round Table, Charlemagne's paladins, the brave ironclad warrior who battles with mythic beasts and craven villains often much larger than him, the gallant figure who never really existed but we all recognize.
Retarded WoW shit doesn't bother with anything so 'bland' and 'generic' when they could just make you wear neon pauldrons bigger than your fucking head.
>>337245513
Unfff, few races are hotter than Castanic females
>>337246808
Ebony armor is good, I also really like the steel armor, especially on akhajit
>>337247262
Yup Steel Plate is pretty good too, I jump from that to Ebony. Pretty easy to get most of it, Uthgard is right there in Whiterun.

>>337246876
It's just so much wasted potential. So many games try to go for the Medieval theme, but when it comes to armor they give you stuff that makes you look like you just walked out of the gates of hell or like you got last place in a cosplay contest.
I just want to be a simple knight purging heretics.

FFS stop using this term when you are purely refering to euromedieval fantasy. Bloodborne is also "western fantasy" yet it's clearly not what you are trying to refer to.
>>337248812
But he is a hack.
He proclaimed that Ice is purely ceremonial, and too large to be wielded in combat. Dumb cunt knows fucking nothing about weapons.
>>337248918
Oh boy, another hipster who hates on something that is almost universally considered to be good.
Have you ever considered that you have shit taste?
>>337248812
You're talking about a guy who criticized Tolkien because he didn't go into Aragorn's tax policy or if he was racist against Orcs, and also that there wasn't enough sexual violence in LOTR.

Is it just one person who keeps reposting his single opinion. Or has neo /v/ taken over?
>>337249172
Europe is part of the "West", so anything that happened there, including medieval times, falls under the category of "Western". So yes, using "Western Fantasy" is technically and absolutely correct. Get fucked autist.

>>337249635
Can be everything. If you are interested in an art form, you remove the word "good" from your vocabulary while talking about it and replace it with "like" Because it's much more easier to point out that you like a thing, and then explain further instead of pointing out that it's "good"
"Good" is an empty word like "happy" If you want that word to mean something you need to stuff it and the things you stuff it with may not be meaningful to others. It's pointless.
Can we go back to posting chicks in tin cans?
>>337244289
>Dark Souls is Japanese interpretation of western fantasy
people say this like the vast majority of japanese fanasy games aren't interpretations of western/euromedieval fantasy
>>337249948
You do know that the LOTR games that were coming out during the movies releases were not BFME, but was the EA brand titles of significantly less quality, right? Cause I like BFME, but the games I'm talking about were the crappy hack and slash ones with movie titles on them.
>>337250627
They haven't been for at least a decade. Notice the point where JRPGs went from being aesthetically western influenced to zippers belts and giant pizza cutters.
>>337250689
>TT and ROTK
>low quality
Only low quality thing here is your shitty bait you ultra homo
>>337246876
I'd argue that Das3's stock knight set has replaced elite knight in that regard, but that's just personal preference.
Japan just has more talented people working on games. I think it's similar like when you compare manga to western comics. Comics are just way more accepted as an artform in Japan, that's why they also have way more highly talented people doing manga.
>>337250804
I don't even have to respond. You've made your shit taste apparent to everyone.
>>337250942
I like the cuirass better, but the Elite set is generally more aesthetically pleasing to me, mostly because of the surplice and it's color.
>>337250975
it helps that manga isn't perpetually in the crosshairs of SJW and liberals either
>>337250719
>final fantasy is every japanese fantasy game
sure buddy
you probably think using a japanese artstyle also make the setting a non-western/euromedieval fantasy

man the reason I first ever played DaS in the first place was because /tv/ told me it has the same look and tone as Excalibur, sure enough they were on the money. Mordred's armor could've easily stepped into a Souls game.
>>337248812
Dude seriously can't write compelling stories or characters for shit
>>337250989
>two games /v/ has always vouched for

>>337251256
I have to watch this movie.
Every time it was on TV when I was a kid my parents forced me to go to bed, because it 'wasn't for kids'.
>>337250942
The DaS3 looks pretty cool but miss a bit of the regal feeling of the EK, he is more like the common man feel, which is great, while EK gives the idea of the chosen knight hero. That royal blue cloth really changes stuff.
>>337246645
Rofl fucking idiot
>>337251349
jesus man I'm sorry
Excalibur is THAT movie you remember watching as a kid but need to ask 4chan what it was
Game of Thrones is for people either trying to desperately seem sophisticated or hardcore, that or horny teenagers gawking about all the tits

Stop replying to me multiple times to try and make it seem like you're not the only one who thinks this, desu!

Doesn't matter whether shit taste contrarions vouch for TT or RoTK. Everyone knows they're shit, and nothing will change that. :^)

>>337252083
>>337251529
I'm legitimately curious to find out what you guys consider to be "good" writing.
>>337244289
It's because Japs actually respect European culture and look into shit before making a medieval fantasy game based around it. The west however is more concerned with progress points and looking at "How can we make this as inclusive as possible for shit tier cultures that now live in our homeland? I know, let's add lots of black and Muslim people in medieval fantasy Europe!"
>>337249304
lotr is pretty much babbys first fantasy thoit was my first fantasy when babby
>>337249597
what good games, i can't recall any of them being good.
>>337251529
we talking about the show or the books, because i dont remember quite so many sex scenes and tits in the books but then maybe I glossed over. Its not the greatest writing ever, but its a fair notch above alot of other fantasy authors, and it seemed like it had a lot of complex characters and plotlines, but now its apparent that GRR didnt know how to end it so its just going no where fast.
>>337252796
>fast
not really
>>337252796
>Says GRR doesn't know how to end book series

Every book just takes a really really long time to come out. You may not like that, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have everything planned out already.
