Which one wast the /v/?

WHY ISNT BLOODBORNE WINNING
>>337723358
It is tho
>>337723358
Why do console war babbehs like you always want to destroy souls threads?
>>337723126
>Dark Souls 1 on the lead
Glad to see /v/ has good taste.
>>337723248
Replace Demon's with III and it's perfect.
>>337723535
Is III really that good? Im waiting for the GOTY edition to buy it. And i fucking loved BB,DeS and DaS1
>Des has 1 votes
Kek
>>337723713
Memers will say 3 is shit and that 2 is actually the best, but yeah, it's fucking awesome.
>>337723358
Because 90% of /v/ is made up of PC-only neckbeards
>>337723825
And why didn't you vote for it?
>>337723358
>Only on ps4
>Equal with DaS
:^)
>>337723969
Hence the kek
May the good blood guide your way.
Bloodborne no doubt
>>337723126
For me the answer is 2 since I have the most hours in it.
>>337723358
Userbase is higher.
BB is objectively and factually the best.
PvP is e-peen tier anyway, in any game, so who cares. Solo, BB is undisputabely the best.
While we vote what was your favourite place in a souls game?
>>337724459
Eleum Loyce but Bloodborne is the best if you ask me
Got cursed by basalisks and was about to quit but made the run from the depths to the gargoyles for a purging stone.
>>337723713
3 is a mix between DeS, Das1 and BB so you're definitely gonna like it
>>337724459
Tower of Latria
I was scared there the most in any souls game. After that Yharnam.
>>337724834
Except it doesn't have any of the things that made each of those good individually.
>>337724459
Anal Rodeo
3 is the best. Every other opinion is wrong
>>337723713
Hey it's not bad at all, as a fan of the series you will definately enjoy it, but it falls short in some terms, where some polish would helped a lot. Just a bit more time like 3 months maybe.
I would've waited.
>>337724459
Castle Cainhurst.
Bloodborne a best.
>>337723713
Well if you liked all the games in the series (except DS2) you'll like it. I still find it more forgettable than Bloodborne.
DS1 is the best one.
But judging the other games next to it is kinda unfair, because DaS's genius is almost accidental.
By any objective measure, it's not really that good a game at all. It's very obtuse to the point of frustration, and a lot of its design is frayed around the edges. But the passion of the people working on it, and the atmosphere the game provides somehow makes up for all of its technical shortcomings. It's lightning in a bottle, and comparing any other game to it is kind of unfair to them, because even DaS really shouldn't be as good as it is.
Bloodborne is better then the Souls games, but it isn't part of them. There is no "Soulsborne" series. The gameplay is similar, but far too different to be grouped.
The only people who insist of making this comparison are literal sonyggers and poorfags who need to justify their PS4 purchase to themself.
>>337724937
>DeS's environmental storytelling
>DaS 1's interlocking world man
>BB's atmosphere and colorful enemy types
>Implying DS3 doesn't have any of those things
While were at it what do you think is the best setting for a souls game?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10223236
>>337725421
That last part wasn't necessary, but way to go, you sure did act like a huge fucking faggot PCfat.
>people saying DaS1 is the best
Have you played it recently? The bosses have aged worse than DeS and the second half is comprised of areas that are either really boring or just plain terrible.
>>337725509
It actually doesn't though.
>>337724459
DaS1 Catacombs. Going through that place early on new characters to get the Rite of Kindling early is a crazy experience every time, without even getting into my first experience there.I missed the Catacombs outright on my first playthrough until just before I did Sen's because I didn't notice the stairs down when I cleared out the graveyard.
>>337725421
So we're just going to ignore the fact that they're made by the same guy with the same design philosophies, purposefully making the same kind of game?
>>337725748
Well, you're demonstrably wrong, so carry on then.
>>337725783
Is Resident Evil and Dino Crisis the same series?
>>337725537
>Renaissance
Count me in senpai
What are your three favorite and three least favorite bosses in the Soulsborne series?
Hardmode: No DLC bosses
>DaS3 is apparently filled with references and nostalgia for DaS1
>Never played DaS1, so most likely won't understand any of the references
>Even then I don't think DaS3 is a very great game, let alone good, it's just kinda alright

lol
Is 3 really that good?
I haven't played it yet but I can't recall any sequel that was better than it's original game
Bloodborne.
It was the least rushed souls game
>>337725509
Das3 final boss is fanservice and means nothing to the story of dark souls 3
>>337725960
It's not, technically, but when we talk about that specific kind of game, then the two are very often lumped together.
Same thing here. DS and BB clearly aren't the same games, but they share a LOT in common, so it's easy to talk about them interchangeably. When we talk about "Soulsborne", we're not talking about a game franchise, we're talking about gameplay elements and design philosophy.
>>337726403
good taste
>>337726684
No, it's really not. It's fun, but it's nowhere near the best.
Demon's Souls is by far my favorite, but it's hard not to admit that everything that was wrong with it was fixed in Dark Souls.
>>337726684
AC2
>>337726704
Nameless King is an optional boss, not the final boss.

>best individual level design
>Arguably the best music
>no severe drop in quality like the second half of DaS1 or everything post Rom in BB
DaS3 isn't perfect, but its great at the things that matter the most.
>>337724459
Undead Parish
>>337726823
Stop that.
Did he ask if it was the best? No. He asked if it was good, in which case, yes, yes it is. Not everything has to be a comparison.
>>337726910
Nameless king should have been the final boss. His lore fits perfectly. It would have ended his story that he felt remoseful for betraying his kin and decided to return to the kiln
>>337727146
The music was just shit senpai.And i fucking loved DaSIII but it was the worst in the series.
>>337725421
You're literally autistic if you don't consider demons, dark 1-3 and BB all part of the same series

First Anon here, I personally never cared much for the Souls music, except for maybe 2~3 songs per game.
Bloodborne is actually winning, what the fuck?
In my opinion bloodborne is the best, but is a Sony exclusive so winning a poll in /v/ sounds pretty hard.

For no DLC argument senpai
Man the DLC really elevated BloodBorne. Hoping the DLC for DS3 is just as good.
I still think BB is a little 1 note but it's still gotta be the second best behind DS1. With DS3 in 3rd, Demons Souls last if only because it's clunky as hell.

You only needed to post Gherman. Every other track, in any Miyazaki game doesnt come near to it.
DaS3 has to much Vocals. Only Dancer and Main Theme stick out for me.
>>337730404
But the CoDs are literally different from CoD4 onward. 4 and on do not have the same gameplay focus as 1-3.
>>337727721
You didnt even post the main theme or dancer. Nor Gundyr.
Get the fuck out, anon.
>>337731031
Why are you so butthurt about it please explain? Because it comes really close to DaS1 while it is a ps4 exclusive? Why can't shut the fuck up and enjoy the games?
Bloodborne, without a doubt.
Bloodborne is my favorite but 3 doesn't have its DLCs yet.
I don't know though, the game has a bunch of flaws that I don't think the DLC will fix.
for example it wont fix the setting being the same old crusty Souls while Bloodborne was ridiculously fresh and exciting.

Sorry senpai
Playing DS2 SoTFS for the first time and just wondering how can anyone argue DS1 is a better game? The world was boring, washed out, had no way to respec a shitty build, had no fast travel until way too late in the game, and was grey colors and low res textures the game. I tried to finish DS1 3 times and just couldn't.
>>337731351
Because it's a ps4 exclusive which limits the amount of ppl who can play it. What if someone doesn't want to buy a ps4? What if someone doesn't have the funds? Come on.
I own all systems to date and while it isn't necessarily fair to blame the game for executive decisions, that is in fact a reason why people deride Bloodborne while uplifting Dark souls uno.
Btw is there a way to make ds1 play in 60fps on PC?
I've only finished BB and DeS so far, so I'm holding my horses on voting just yet.
>>337731590

DS3 > BB > DaS > whocaresabouttherest
>>337731590
DaS2 honestly looks worse than 1 or DeS so I don't get why you're being a graphicsfag.
>>337731638
Which do you prefer of those?
>>337731595
That doesen't mean the game is bad. We are ranking the games by quality. And DSfix does it for me.
>Dark Souls 2 has more votes than Demon's Souls
Are these the kind of people I share this board with
>>337731783
DeS is good you faggot
>>337731842
It has wider availability, at least I hope that's the reason.
>>337731707
Why are you replying to the OP? Anyways other than that seriously who said they were mad. A PS4 exclusive beat the other games and is very close to DaS1 the defining souls game.
That alone shows how good is the game. But i can respect someone who doesen't like the game. But salty faggots like you are just shitposters.
I haven't played Demon's Souls so I think Dark Souls 1 is unilaterally THE best game in the franchise.
Dark Souls 2 remains a disappointment in many aspects.
Bloodborne was ultimately a mediocre experience that ended up fucking Miyazaki in the head.
Dark Souls 3 is fun to play but could have been so much better without the shitty Bloodborne inspirations in the combat and some of the enemies. I enjoy that it feels like the true Dark Souls sequel though.
Demon's Souls is beloved and still widely discussed by many, so I have to assume I missed out on something by not playing it.
dark souls 1 is simply the best
the level and layout design is something i would praise for being so masterfully crafted
lore is SIMPLY EBIN
mechanics are on point, except the pvp stuff but all soulsborne games suffer from that
fun as fuck bosses
well written characters you really get to like
difficulty is on point too, challenging and fair
i love all of the 5 games with all my heart, but dark souls 1 wins the prize
pic related, my favorite zone
why cant we all just get along? masterpiece of a series really
>>337731842
Its on PC, what did you expect?
>>337731807
Bloodborne.
I love DeS, and it has its own qualities. But it's fairly clunky and unpolished compared to BB, and DaS too, for that matter.
Bloodborne is the best game, but it bothers me how DeS is underrated. It's better than DS3 and DS2
>>337731842
PCucks at their finest.
>>337726084
> "hehe...im unique because I dislike things other people like. Nothing personnel."
My opinion > your opinion
>>337731092
What about Ludwig?
>>337732116
Because Bloodborne and DeS triggers 14 year old redittor pc players. And 14 year old PS players declares crusade on them. Kids basically.
>>337731842
The voting process is open to everyone, even if they haven't played all the games. So by virtue of being the least played game in the series, DeS simply doesn't stand a chance.
>>337732097
what salty?
bbfanboys are just cancer that cannot accept opinions that are not
>hur BB is da bes!!
If you say something different you didn't play the game or you are a "pckuk".
That is the /bbg/ in a nutshell.
Also the last part about ds beign better is just my opinion.
>>337731842
>>337731884
DeS is a good game, great even, but the others are better.
>>337732340
If we go DLC, i'd say Ludwig and Orphan, too, but that Violin in Gehrmans Track make my dick go hard. Especially in mid part.
This poll was a mistake.
>>337732218
It's hard to tell because it was my first Souls experience but it honestly felt like the most 'complete' in the series.
There've been sections in the later games that I felt were way too short/rushed but even replaying DeS recently I never felt that way.
>>337732349
im pretty sure sony players are the ones that start the shitposting, or at least thats what happens in every thread about bloodborne
exclusivity is really a shitty practice that should not be present, it made me buy a console because im a huge fucking fanfag for hackizaki, but what about the people that cant afford it but are also fanfags for miyagi?
>>337732648
/v/ was the mistake
>>337732543
It's definitely better than DaS2. As for the rest is arguable, I think it's better than DaS1.
>>337732802
Inventory system brings it down.
>>337723126
>all these blatant NEVER EVER fags voting for BB
It was fun and had a different (and good) aesthetic. It wasn't better than DaS or DeS and you're kidding yourself if you think so.
Whos the best Waifu?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10223838
>>337723126
Bloodborne is the best for two reasons.
1) Most compelling plot/world-building/lore. Slowly discovering the fucked up werewolf plague is actually the end result of arcane space horrors puppeteering the whole event was WAY more satisfying than any amount of "could dark be good?" mental gymnastics.
2) Personal opinion here: I fucking love the gameplay. I'm a dexfag who rarely ever used my offhand for anything other than pyro flames or soul arrows, so ditching shields for quicksteps and pistols improved the gameplay by leaps and bounds.
Dark souls 3 has mound makers, which is the single greatest thing to happen so far, but BB offers so much more. If only they didn't shoehorn in those fucking chalice dungeons and spent that dev time lengthening the main campaign instead, it'd be my all-time favourite game. That and if FROMlogic didn't scupper my first run.

I wish I had the perspective of someone who didn't play Bloodborne who then went to DS3
The leap in quality from DS2 or DS1 is so ridiculously immense that it must be mindblowing to most people.
Too bad I loved and love Bloodborne way too much, and thats why DS3 kind of ended up disappointing me. Its still a fun game but goddamn is it just blatantly annoying or dull most of the time. All the reused areas, weapons and lore stuff doesn't help either.
Even the final fucking boss is a rehash from boss movesets, character moves or even boss music from a game that came out 5 years ago. Its a fitting end sure, but fucking christ, it just feels so lazy. Most of the fights are knights with sweep attacks and a few more special moves.
Its kind of like the relationship I had with 2. Fun game at the time but its not DS1 or BB. on both of those games I spent well over 1000 hours doing different things and even doing NG+7 SL1/BL4 challenge runs. SL1 in 3 is just fucking boring and ultimately annoying. They made it shinier and cleaner but at the end of the day its just another crusty old souls game that barely brought anything new to the table

>>337732903
I missed the more in-depth character development but I was fine after discovering how kickass the weapons are, they're still the most fun to use in the series. Dungeons are a mistake though; as much as I enjoyed the bosses and random coop they're a perfect example of how proper level design is just as important as the bosses.

Just as much as Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are part of the same series.

Blighttown
even with the framerate issues I just thought it was a fun area with an interesting layout, it was the area that felt the most like a video game level rather than some immersive environment, just a fun gauntlet challenge laid out for the player.
hell it's not even that hard, nothing in DaS1 is very hard other than TotG.

>Gherman vanishes halfway through and never reappears for the fitful sleep scenes, I end up spoiling his status as the last boss by checking if he didn't just glitch out of my game entirely
Holy shit that sucks.
Awhile ago some idiot posted on the wiki that the 'available NPCs' in the clinic included Gherman so I thought that guy in the beginning was the 'waking world' version or something.
>>337724457
>objectively

Nice projecting. And yet, you're still not in the majority opinion.
>>337723126
All of those games are roughly equal in greatness, but Bloodborne edges the victory because the weapons blow the rest of the series out of the water. Trick weapons are so much cooler than anything in the Souls games.
But in general, they're all 9's or 10's, and the difference between the worst and the best is almost totally insignificant.
>>337732691
Being self proclaimed "fans" doesn't give them the right to play whatever they want for free.
>>337733064
I think you should be blaming yourself for all those mistakes, except maybe the first one. I missed Iosefka's Clinic thing too, but you'd have to be seriously blind to miss the Chapel Dweller, damn son. Spoiling yourself because Gehrman was missing was a pretty silly fault of your own too.
You just gotta realize that you're not expected to figure all things out on your first playthrough, and it makes the second playthrough that much better too when you discover things you missed the first time around. I didn't even find any of the optional areas either. Cainhurst, Nightmare Frontier, Upper Cathedral Ward, missed all that shit.
>>337723713
It's very very good, but it's missing something, might just be that the novelty of the genre is gone by this point. Also has way too many references to the first game and not enough new memorable characters.
>>337732691
That's life dude. I like Total war so I keep upgrading my pc from time to time and I like Bloodborne so I bought a ps4.

DaS1 for me will always be the best.
The insane replay value and great level design is what really makes it for me. the build variety for PvE is much greater than any other Souls game.
You're given so much freedom of where to go RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING that you're not given in other Souls games, all the others there's branching paths but usually only a few of them and only later on.
And the variety of playstyles is unmatched. You can be a fancy fencing sorcerer, you can hide behind a shield all day (remember when this was viable?), you can wear heavy armor THAT ACTUALLY WORKS and tank through hits, or you can be a dextrous flipping faggot wearing rags and it's all equally viable and useful against the enemies.

>DaS1
Tomb of the Giants. as dogshit as Lost Izalith was at least I could see it. I dread doing TotG every time. It's just a straight up annoying area.
>Bloodborne
Nightmare of Mensis, there is nothing fun about Frenzy. honorable mention to the more difficult Chalice dungeons for being tedious, I actually liked them until the enemies started scaling out of control on HP and damage and every single encounter was like fighting a boss.
>DaS3
Farron Keep. It's like the swamp at the bottom of Blighttown only there's no water walking ring and the enemies are all far fucking worse.
>>337736586
He basically said Dark Souls over. No Dark Souls 4. Hes probably going for a sci-fi souls type game.
>>337736694
Yeah I didn't mind Farron Keep that much or any level in Dark Souls 3 honestly which is quite something to say since usually there's always at least one place I dread going to. However it really should have that one ring from Dark Souls 1 that let you run through deeper water without any problem.

Mensis wasn't that bad. I hated the Nightmare Frontier .. boringgggggggggg
dark souls 3 in terms of overall quality
The story progression, the constant motivator, retrieve the cinders of lords, highlights the main characters of the game, and allows a really satisfying flow into the games world, developing the subplots around the lords, while also developing around the other characters and other lore developments.
Far too many have dismissed this because of how anor londo is in the game, when the references in dark souls 3, gwyndolin, dragonslayer armour, nameless king have all been handled really well, and actually develop and add to the world surrounding and encompassing lothric. Compare this in essence to old dragonslayer in dark souls 2 which is pretty much literally a copy paste job.
The NPC's in dark souls 3 are by far the best in the series, the branching and changing quests, the interactions between npc's, it's very nice, I enjoyed how they subvert traditions like patches actually being helpful with greirat, siegward is on a path to stop someone who has become lost (yhorm in his fallen to the abyss state) in comparison to how sieglinde had to stop siegmeyer, hawkwood's history with the abyss watchers and his own quest to become a dragon completely abandoning the crestfallen tropes of becoming useless, and leonhard's abandonment of what was presumably a lautrec like role, instead blaming the player for corrupting rosaria's soul and running off with her to gwynevere's room.
I heavily enjoyed the bosses, each one felt both unique from eachother mechanically, unique from one another thematically, unique in their purpose in the world, each one apart from ancient wyvern has multiphase dynamics and multi phase music transitions, and the music is both really fucking good, but also thematically distinct from each other, which differentiated it to the majority of BB's soundtrack to me apart from a few notable ones like ebrietas and gehrman plus the dlc themes.
cont.
>>337737291
Atmospherically, I think Oceiros, twin princes, soul of cinder, nameless king, abyss watchers, champion gundyr, pontiff sulayvahn, aldrich, yhorm, dancer of the boreal valley, and deacons of the deep are the standout players, but that's only because they are all fantastic bosses, both musically, visually and how the fight feels, they did a great job at making the lords of cinder in particular emphasised by the embering.
The area design is the most satisfied I have felt in the entire series with, the long winding layouts, the constant use of shortcuts, and the sheer variety in the game is really done well, irithyll's icy blue gaze, archdragon peak's completely opposite feeling to the rest of the game, lothric castle and grand archives royal feeling along with that sense of wonder that's given by the vast pilgrim butterflies and darksign sun, along with the sense of scale you get with the great shortcuts, the huge rise tower in farrons keep, the entirety of cathedral of the deep, the entrance of smouldering lake, the view of profane capital from within irithyll, and it's vertical presence, the bleakness of untended graves, I absolutely loved how each area felt both natural and flowing within the world, yet heavily distinct from one another.
The world design, while certainly less interconnected than the other games, works well due to the distinct acts of progression, start-abyss watchers - carthus - yhorm - lothric-end, the game constantly gives you points of reference that never really fail like dark souls 2's odd geography decisions, and it's unreliable viewpoints, drangleic castle and dragon aerie for example, whereas points of reference are constantly available in dark souls 3, see irithyll-undead settlement, smouldering lake - irithyll dungeons entrance., high wall - the world, or undead settlements tower's giant and the white trees for four great ones

Also, what music? I can only think of Pontiff.
You're right, the quality doesn't drop. It's shit in the beginning but gets better. Everything fun is near the end of the game, so if you want to make a specific build, you would have already completed 80% of the game before you get the fun stuff that you probably made your build for.
Also,Ghru Leapers.
>>337737754

Overall I just feel the game has the highest consistency of any of the games, the bosses, areas, story and lore were all both very satisfyingly memorable to me, I was never bored.
By comparison, I felt demons souls held the second highest level of "consistency" amongst the souls games, and while I certainly don't find the pve as interesting, and I dislike a lot of the music, the games lore and plot is really well done, and differs in many ways to how souls and bb was handled, it felt much more like a closed off tale that didn't need to be expanded on, it was relatively simple and worked well because of it and how it gave motivations to the characters.
Dark Souls 1 has stunning and memorable bosses, even more so than any other game in the series, but unfortunately, like demons souls, this hasn't prevented them from aging mechanically, and a lot of the ones that were revered, are quite simple and less satisfying in terms of mechanics, but they are designed so well, and feel lovingly put in the world, vary and have purpose in the world. The game certainly drops off at anor londo though, I feel the later areas lack a certain "importance" to the games events, by way of them lacking player progression feelings, and feeling more vacant due to the rushed content.
Dark Souls 1's dlc is largely fantastic, with memorable npc encounters, a living breathing world feeling, and memorable, challenging to this day bosses.
Dark Souls 2's base game's myriad of problems prevent me from enjoying it to it's full potential, the tracking, hitbox issues etc are very disappointing.
Dark Souls 2's dlc has perfect level design, utterly perfect. Large senses of verticality and unwasted points of reference, the only disappointment were some of the bosses, and an overall feeling of a lack of npc's.

Honestly Byrgenworth for how much it was hyped up. Seriously the most disappointing area in the entire series. It was literally just a tiny room.

>>337738063
Me too, that ain't my problem: School of Mensis is big shit, and I really wanted more of it.
I had the exact same issue with the Upper Cathedral but the Research Hall completed it. No joke it's almost exactly what I wanted regarding 'more inner workings of the Church, please'
>>337738669
BB drops off for me at cathedral ward, because of various area design/bosses reasons, along with the game's scattered approach to rewarding area design. I dislike how the game approaches with it's lack of plentiful npc's, but also at the same time enjoyed the atmosphere this gave off, it was kind of conflicting, I felt that a lot of the games bosses were frustrating in terms of mechanics, celestial emissary, rom, and shadows of yharnam multiple enemy encounter design, the larger health pools of the bosses in general, and while this for me, didn't add a lot to the difficulty of the bosses, it certainly made them more tedious.
The old hunters I was conflicted with as well, although it certainly added a ton to the game, it was still lacking a bit on the npc side of things, and felt dissonant after how well bb approached world design around the cathedral ward, other than the nightmare areas, I felt laurence and the living failures were fundamentally not very good bosses, orphan was very, but ludwig was mixed, his first phase seemed designed for player frustration with the awkward hitbox on the jump and charge attacks, luckily his second phase was brilliant.
If I had to rate the series, I'd probably go:
DaS3>DaS=DeS>BB>DaS2
If I was rating them as games on mechanical levels including bosses, combat, weapons, spell, armour variety and encounter design I'd say:
DaS3>DaS>BB>DaS2>DeS
>>337738791
I never got the purpose of Byrgenworth. You don't need TWO Miskatonic University analogues, it just clogs up the story and obscures the lore.
>>337738860
It's almost insulting that the research hall or an area similar wasn't in the base game though to be honest. It was very obviously a case of rushed development.
The clocktower had a huge presence in the marketing material, and generally throughout the game's pre-release lifecycle, I was utterly disappointed with how upper cathedral ward played out.
>>337739026
>I never got the purpose of Byrgenworth
All the events in the game are a consequence of what the students of Byrgenwerth did.
If it wasn't for them Yharnam would be a normal city.
>>337739384
I mean yeah, but again, there's also the School of Mensis.
Byrgenworth was way too small to feel important. They very easily could have just said the School of Mensis founded blood healing. There is no need for two Miskatonic Universities, especially when one of them is literally two open rooms with a balcony.

LESS than 50% of /vg/'s Souls regulars have played Bloodborne
It's only rational to assume that the percentage on /v/ (in which there are less dedicated souls fans) is even lower. I mean how many people on /v/ even own a PS4, let alone Bloodborne?
With the exception of Demon's every other Souls game has been on every platform. /v/ is majority PCgamers (the big majority, might I add)
Bloodborne being second on a /v/ poll is actually very surprising considering the low ammount of people here who have played it relative to the number who has played any other DarkSouls game.
The only way to explain such a high % number in the poll is that most prople who played Bloodborne found it to be the best, otherwise it would be much, much lower.

research hall was actually rather shit in my opinion
the staircase effect was better than dukes archives due to being justified by the mechanism, but still felt like a reiteration of a theme, and the practically one whole enemy type apart from those cunts with guns didn't do much to make the area feel interesting.
For atmospheric effect, I would say that ash lake is the best area in the series.
For level design I would say that either brume tower or shulva, or the entirety of lothric castle and grand archives is the best.
For beautiful and stunning, memorable visuals, I'd go for irithyll, ash lake, anor londo, archdragon peak, yahar'gul or brume tower.
