Get this cancer out of here.

Why does every YouTube creator who does stuff in games suck at graphic design?
>>340136125
B-but they both made solid points...
>>340136257
>The rusted Iron Ring being necessary
Why do people still think DaS is still a hard game? Is that what people think is its selling point?
>>340136154
How so?
>>340136081
>Rusted iron ring
>MOST essential item in the game
I stopped there, these people are clearly casul
>>340136081
Parts of it are complete shit, yes
>Blighttown
>Wheel skellies
>Dealing with skele movesets when you can't oneshot them
>The complete lack of any interesting lore in the TotG
>You are required to kill a leader of a covenant to beat the game
>Everything Lost Izalith
>This bullet point reserved for Bed of Chaos
>This other bullet point also reserved for Bed of Chaos
>"We flooded New Londo to prevent the Darkwraiths from spreading"
>Meanwhile the Darkwraiths are a fucking joke
>4 king boss fight is both shitty and does not contain a total of 4 kings
>Seath's boss fight is the same old shit despite them going out of their way to set up a gimmicky condition to fighting him
When people think of Dark Souls fondly, they are inevitably thinking of the first 1/3 of the game when Firelink is the popular place to be, when the game tells you a story through the environment/enemy placement/pacing, and before everyone leaves or kills each other and goes hollow
Did anyone actually have any problems with humanity? I was hollowed the whole time it didn't make much of a difference.

So what IS the most essential ring in the game?
Havel's?
>>340137208
covenant of artorias, everything else is optional

Just look at the text in that thumbnail. It's a hideous shade of pink mixed with a needless yellow-orange gradient and a poor attempt at a beveling effect. Not to mention that it's probably some low-quality free font or one a shoddy pirated one, going by the copious text aliasing.
The background image is really poor. The image has a ton of artifacts, and you can tell right where the original image ended, because the blue gradient suddenly turns to a block of black. Not to mention that because it's all relatively dark, a bright, single-color text would've stood out even more. They didn't even try getting a font that matches or pairs with the official logo, either; it just clashes.
It seems like everyone has this really garish, "I'm trying to be like comic books buy have never read them" style, and it's just obnoxious. It doesn't even take much to read up on how to make something better. Everyone's trying to be loud, and they're just drowning each other out.

Someone had a hard time after the sewers...

I'm an autistic visual needy player, every time I make a new file I spend 10+ minutes in face creation even though it all looks like the same muddy shit and most of the helmets are designed to hide the head
So yeah it kind of sucked to be constantly fighting darkwraiths just because I wanted to look good
>>340136081
>what is clickbait
>>340137208
Flip ring
The only thing that fucking sucks about this game is the people playing them.
>>340137416
It's supposed to be flashy on sight for all the kiddies to click on it, it's not meant to be examined for a prolonged time.
>>340137469
Just 10 mins? No wonder your character look like shit.
>>340136636
It is the selling point and it is hard. Stop with your memeing.
>>340137731
Opposite for me, it's the only reason I even play, y'all make it worth while
>>340137208
Well you need covenant of artorias to actually beat the game but havels is probably overall the best ring in the game unless we are counting pre nerf DWGR. Theres a reason the ring gives way less equip load boost in DS2 and 3
>>340137783
I know. I'm just saying that with everyone doing the exact same thing of slapping garishly-colored text with a basic text stroke onto any background, anyone doing something the slightest bit different would stand out even more. It's one thing to be generic, and another to be genericly ugly. I know the video creators are usually wearing a ton of hats to run the whole channel, but like I said, it doesn't take much to read up on the fundamentals.
>>340138052
What about favor and protection?
>>340136081
It's great and easy if you aren't an A.D.D. ridden faggot that can't time his attacks right.
Well crafted atmosphere, great enemy design and believe it or not it's a trend setter, there were almost no games like it before and now everyone wants to replicate it because it's popular, fun, and people like to buy the games with physical money and that keeps From afloat.
Games that suck generally don't get 3 sequels and 2 spinoffs
>>340138142
It's invaluable early game, but it doesn't really fit into any larger build
>>340136081
I think the feast-or-famine riposte/backstab system really needs to be overhauled in favor of something better
Demon's Souls + Bloodborne >
