What is the BEST area in Souls?
Irythill of the Boreal Valley is exceptionally well made.
Nightmare of Mensis has great level design and atmosphere.
I like Shulva and the Dragon Sanctrum the most though. It's interactivity and all the movable platforms shit was great and I was sad to see that DaS3 didn't try something similar.
Painted World of Ariamis
Bloodborne had better areas.
>>340221654
no it didnghhtyt
Why the hell do people like Untended graves outside of Gundyr?
>>340221801
Grant us eyes!
>>340221173
Irithyll is too small.
>>340221883
Gundyr and you can buy the Wolfknight set
also Gundyr
>>340221883
It's spooky.
>>340220957
You literally cannot top Undead Burg

Why did they do this?
Anor Londo. And god, that return visit to it in III hit hard man.
>>340221173
>Irythill of the Boreal Valley is exceptionally well made.
It's like Anor Londo in that it looks nice when you first see it but is pretty much total garbage in terms of level design.
Firelink Shrine
>the music
>the setting
>the feels
>>340222203
My experience too,
>>340222139
ENB liked it because he realized they didn't fully abandon the lore and he could make some more videos about the lore others made months before him.
ash lake still and forever
>>340220957
ENB pls
>>340221173
Shulva was a masterpiece. If only 2 could have been as good as its DLC.
>>340222203
>mfw seeing the giant smith
Blighttown
[Screams internally]
>>340222315
I'm not ashamed to admit I cried at the return to Anor Londo. I had no idea it was coming. Then I walked into the room before Gwyndolin and realized where I was.
>>340222098
Not at all.
>>340221654
fuck off consoletard
we get it, you constantly need to mention your exclusives even when they are fucking shit
Central Yharnham
Hemwick Charnel Lane was also really good.
>>340222514
>Andre talks about how he misses him
>>340222552
>Then I walked into the room before Gwyndolin
With Gwyn's statue?
>>340222514
>>340220957
Cainhurst Castle
plebs
>>340222709
Yep.
Hands down.
>>340222749
Everything from NUA to Anor Londo has GOAT map design and shortcut integration, and even though everything afterwards is shit that world layout is why DaS is still my favorite souls game
>>340222762
Was it just me who was surprised there was nothing in Gwyndolin's room?
>>340222727
Cainhurst and Fishing Hamlet
>>340222514
>only sadness ahead
I read the note, I was not prepared.
>>340222203
True story:
>Invade a guy in Anor Londo in III 2 days after the game releases
>He runs away from me, at first I think he's looking for help
>He doesn't, runs to the giant blacksmith
>does the collapse animation
>I wait for him to get up for 3 minutes
>Fight him
>I lose
>He messages me on PSN saying word for word "I'm sorry for not fighting, I was honestly crying, this part hurts."
>>340223186
I actually wrote that note haha
>>340222015
It took me like 2 hours of exploration to get to Sullivan at first, It was probably the biggest area in the game.
It was a bit linear though, now that I'm thinking of it. Especially at first.
>>340222514
>Forge, I can!
>Strong, I am!
>>340223058
I wasn't surprised, but I had an overwhelming sensation of nostalgia, and I think that's the moment that made me cry. I remember in I, having trouble with Gwyndolin for hours, and for some reason, going back into his hallway hit me the hardest.
>>340223379
>You come, I forge, we talk
>You good friend.
>I very happy
The first major areas in Dark Souls are always the best DLC aside
>>340221303
This.
How would you guys react if in III's DLC, we went back to Firelink Shrine from the first game and it was destroyed or badly damaged? Imagine if the firekeeper is still there, and alive. I think I'd cry, Anor Londo made me sad, but going back to Firelink would honestly make me cry.
>>340223058
there is a chest with the reversal ring and your cute undead spouse of course
Central Yharnam for basic level design.
Anor Londo for setpieces and scope.
Fishing Hamlet for atmosphere.
>>340223681
Things Betwixt was pretty meh, t b h.
>>340222514
>watching aldrich eat gwyndolin
>gwynevere's ring is the only thing that remains
The Abyss, obviously
>>340223956
Anon he said Dark Souls not Dark Souls II
de- latria
ds 1- painted world
ds 2- shulva
bb- fishing hamlet
ds3-arch dragon peak
>>340223956
First MAJOR areas you goof. Undead Burg, Forest of Fallen Giants and High Wall of Lothric.
>>340223242
What a fag
>>340223961
it's the only body part you were interested in anon
>>340223863

>Tfw he was all alone in Anal Rodeo because everyone else was either an illusion ir a fat canibbal fuck.
>Tfw he died alone
>>340224097
The way he worded it leads me to believe he was referring to the Dark Souls series, not just the first game.
Why does DS3 look terrible compared to Bloodborne? The visuals look off.
Is it just my eyes?
>>340224307
What if we went back to the Demon Ruins, the best part of DS1?
>>340222015
Upper Irithyll after Sulyvahn also counts. You're not in Anor Londo until the game says you are.
>>340224474
nah i feel the same way. its that damn sepia filter
>>340224474
Bloodborne takes advantage of motion blur heavily compared to DS3.
>>340224474
Lack of chromatic aberration
I really loved Eleum Loyce and the Old Chaos in DaS2
>>340224313
right after Anor Londo I went to Smouldering Lake, to explore it properly and found pic related
>>340220957
>finally get around to fighting Aldrich today
>hear that he's incredibly hard for some and incredibly easy for others
>be playing a pyromancer
>throw Chaos Bed Vestiges and Great Chaos Fire Orb
>incinerate him in under a minute
Holy fuck I love being a pyromancer
>>340220957
Lothric's Castle. It feels so real. It holds my favorite bosses in the series.
>>340224582
>>340224614
>>340224627
Maybe they should've stuck with it. The flaws are really noticeable.
>>340224635
i liked how eleum loyce looked but the whole dlc was way too tedious
>>340224635
This. All the DaS2 DLCs had fantastic level design. I liked how each area had its own gimmick. Shulva was a series of walkways suspended above a chasm and you could make your own paths by hitting certain stones. Fume Tower was a constant path downwards to the ashen dome at the bottom. Eleum Loyce had you backtrack through it after turning off the blizzards, opening new paths.
>>340220957
Best area is the area that I am in
The worst is the area you are in.
>>340224712
I didn't know about this.
Be wary of tears.
>>340224829
some normal enemies where a bit overkill, the ice-sanics for example or everybodies favorite the flying, continuously spawning reindeers of lighting rape
>>340224728
Ok? What does that have to do with anything in this thread?
>>340224753
Is it just me or can you actually hear parts of this video still in his bossfight. It's just really difficult to hear because of the music and constant retard dragon screaming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6vCZdcp6hE
When I died I heard one of the squishy pudding sounds and halfway through the 2nd fight after he goes into his 2nd phase I heard one of the baby screams.
>>340224829
>have this shit as my background, animated
>people see it and bust a nut
yeh boi
>>340225223
Suck my dick, bitch nigga.
>>340224635
It's my favourite out of the 3. I've gotta admit that a huge part of that is because I absolutely love snowy castles, but I also loved the more down to earth design of it compared to the other DLCs which were more abstract. The backtracking gets a lot of shit but it distinguished the area from the other DLCs and from the entirety of the base game, not to mention it used shortcuts in a way similar to Dark Souls 1, where you used them to travel the world rather than just use them as a quick trip to the boss fog. Also the build up and reveal for Ivory King was excellent and really made the boss fight memorable despite being kinda bland mechanically.
best and worst area respectively:
des:
tower of latria
valley of defilement
das:
sens fortress
lost izalith
das2:
brume tower
frigid outskirts
bb:
old yharnam
cainhurst, every single chalice dungeon
das3:
lothric castle/grand archives
demon ruins
Certainly not best, but I have a fond spot for Aldia's Keep. The way that level is basically a straight line with little to no danger, and it's only because you can't but follow your player ways of touching every level and visiting any nook and cranny till it becomes a hellhole to get though.
Cracks me up from a level-design standpoint.
>>340224829
is there more of these? I really, really like them
>>340225279
>>340225408
>Hating Cainhurst
How? It's basically Castlevania as one big level.
>>340222709
My first playthrough I knew exactly where I was as soon as I entered that area. I remember thinking where the bonfire had gone too. I didn't even think of Gwyn's statue being a normal illusion wall because you needed a ring in DS1 to go by it, so I just moved on thinking you'd need it in 3 as well
>>340225142
the normal body there holds an item, it's the Quelana Pyromancy Tome, so probably both remaining sisters died there.
>>340223863
There are enough references to the previous games already.
>>340225408
lost izalith? you're joking right?
>>340225514
>>340225603
He said best and worst, nigger.
>>340225408
>lost izalith
>>340225408
>Worst
>Cainhurst
What a horrible opinion.
>>340224753
Lothric Catsle, High Wall and Undead Settlement were awesome. I wish this this game was more focused on Lothric kingdom instead of riding DS1 dick.
>>340225603
he is saying lost izalith is the worst area in dark souls 1
>>340225232
When you mentioned it, I think I heard it once when I was using headphones while playing.
Ash Lake
>>340225603
>>340225720
>Reading comprehension.
>>340223000
>everything after is shit
meme
>>340225780
Now that's a shit opinion, m8. There's nothing remotely even special about that place other than its aesthetics.
>>340225740
Fuck Undead Settlement. It starts out great but the area is way too big, has too many trash enemies everywhere and everything looks the same. Getting through it was a chore if you wanted to explore properly.
>>340225514
,
>>340225740
>Poise
>>340222201
Because they prioritized making things look super duper pretty above the gameplay.
Latria.
des: tower of latria
ds1: painted world, sens fortress , ash lake, tomb of the giants
ds2: don't know
bb: central yharnam
ds3: cathedral of the deep
>>340225772
Someone should try and separate the different audio layers to see what they can and can't hear. Or just turn off the music during the fight and keep Oceiros flailing around as long as possible.
>>340225963
Another anon here, but that's not nothing.
The trip to and back when you don't have the teleport yet will always give the place a special spot in my heart.
Boletarian Palace and Yharnam+Cathedral Ward are my favorites
>>340225740
I felt really bad when I found him on one of the roofs and then later I discovered Orbeck too
The entirety of The Old Hunters, but specifically everything between and including Ludwig and Maria. Transition from clocktower to Fishing Hamlet is GOAT too.
>>340226071
>tomb of the giants
Why?
>>340225979
>everything looks the same
Kinda disagree.
There is 3 sections in this area: settlemet, Hemwick wannabe and small place with flowers.
Probably would be better if From make 2 smaller locations - settlement and forest with these floxes.
>>340222626
Stay mad PCuck
>>340226410
best spooky area
DS-Latria
DaS-Sen's Fortress
DS2-Brume Tower
BB-Fishing Hamlet(best in the series)
DS3-Lothric Castle
Agreed?
>>340225539
depths for me
>>340225979
People like you are the reason we get so many linear areas now. Fuck off.
>>340225963
I'll admit I'm kind of lumping it in with the Great Hollow in my head. Still, these two areas are amazing in the way they are totally out of the way yet are so crucial to understanding the game's themes and metaphysics. They don't force these areas on you, they're just there (and would be extremely well hidden if not for the note system). There isn't an exciting optional boss or a huge amount in the way of content, but they're ridiculously atmospheric, the level design in the Great Hollow is amazing (like >>340226132 said) and emerging out onto Ash Lake for the first time is just a sublime experience, at least on par with that of glimpsing Anor Londo for the first time.
It's one of the most memorable parts of my first playthrough of the game. As much as you can say other areas have better combat and more to offer in terms of content, there's just an air to the place that feels unlike anything else in the game.
>>340226423
There's also the sewers but all of those areas are small parts of the level that you don't have to explore much. The village areas not only make up most of the level but also take quite a while to explore because all of the hidden shit there.
>>340220957
Latria 1. No contest. It ain't even close, friend.
>>340226410
Why not?
Ash Lake, althought I haven't played DS2
bright stone cove tseldora
>>340226627
It being non-linear isn't an issue. Believe it or not it's possible to create memorable, compact areas which are also non-linear
>>340220957
Sens Fortress is easily the best for me. I also like shrine of storms though
>>340220957
not untended graves, holy shit
>>340227069

Dark Souls 1: Blight Town

>>340227390
I thought everything was goodexcept the swamp
>>340227383
nope im dead serioud, i liked the zip line and the throwback to seathe
My favorites are New Londo Ruins, Painted World, Oolacile, Eleum Loyce, Shulva, Irithyll, and Grand Archives. Fishing Hamlet if Bloodborne is included.
No idea what's the technical best. One of those maybe?
>>340227490
Undead Settlement was fucking amazing. The rest of the areas were not. They weren't bad, just not that great, atleast in terms of gameplay, DS3 definitly nailed the atmosphere.
Best DS3: Lothric caslte
Worst DS3: Demons ruins because fuck that place so hard
Best BB: Cainhurst.
Worst BB: Snake woods.Wished I got to play the other Darks souls and Demon souls.
>>340222514
>tfw you realize probably nobody but the chosen undead visited him for years until his death
>>340227770

DS1: Royal Wood
DS2: Eleum Loyce
DS3: Grand Archives

DaS: Painted world
BB: Cainhurst/Fishing hamlet
DaS 2: Don't know don't care
DaS 3: Grand Archives
>>340227916
After my first play through I just fucking sprinted through the place, I don't even care if rare items are there. Fuck that place.
>>340226841
Can't see shit
>>340228046
Then people would just bitch about the game being even more unoriginal than it already is.
>>340228063
>Byrgenwerth
>Four seconds long and then the boss
>Blood Moon Yahargul
>Run past enemies: The zone
Nightmare of Mensis was alright, but Burgers and Yahargul are the most boring areas in the game
>>340228046
I think the cool stuff in the DLC was an example of the 2nd director for Dark Souls 2.
>>340222807
I completely forget the level
>>340228046
>eleum loyce has a blizzard going on with invisible things you can make visible and a blizzard you need to get rid of to reach previously unreachable places
Funny thing is that they intended for harvest valley to use a similar mechanic. The poison clouds were suppose to block entire areas until you activated the windmill to blow it away. Then the redesign happened.
>>340228063
Yahar'gul is a strong contender for worst designed area in any Souls game. It's basically the Catacombs from Dark Souls except if the necromancers respawned and buffed the skeletons, and the wheel skeletons could shoot you from miles away. That place is a fucking shitshow.
>>340222203
Everything in the game hits hard.
>Firekeeper saying "Forgive me sister."
>The Wolf in Farron
>Oceiros after realizing he doesn't have Ocelotte
And best of all? The Soul of Cinder channeling Gwyn and hearing his theme again. I fucking teared up man, I don't care.
>>340228437
>The Wolf in Farron
What about it?
>>340228437
>implying the Soul of Cinder has feelings
Cainhurst, although I'll admit the small section outside the castle sucked. They should have had it populated with corpses only, instead of a few bloodsuckers that added a minor lore note.
>>340228501
Well, it reminded me of Sif, if that was their intention.
>>340228437
Abyss Watchers
>>340222203
Did it? I was really disappointed. I mean it's tiny as hell and doesn't really have much going on outside the wedding stuff and the dead Giant that apparently everyone loved for someone reason. I mean it didn't really have that much importance or impact compared to the first game either, it was just another area not very different from any other. It's not even that fucked up either it's just cold and dirty.
>>340226132
>tfw going to ash lake first time

?
>>340222201
dark soul has always been that way
remember anor londo ?
>>340228972
Anri.
>>340228821
Im talking about the true firelink in DaS not your fanfic shit
>>340228732
There is near the zero lore about Abyss Watchers aside from "we are Artorias fanclub in stupid hats".
Personally I would prefer to see one of those kingdoms, which they obliterated during their fight vs abyss instead of fucking swamps.
>>340228972
In the dark moon tomb where Gwyndolin's boss fight used to be, you marry Anri. I never would have expected a romance side quest in Dark Souls but it worked out pretty well.
>>340226132
That isn't terrible
I made it all the way to the bottom of the Tomb of the Giants in my first playthrough, before I found the lordvessel
>>340229162
>>340229078
Is it a good ending?
>>340228995
Anor Londo's castle has multiple floors, a basement, several rooms to explore, a balcony, and the main hall which connects to the outside in 3 different ways. It's not the most complex area in the game but it has a hell of a lot more to explore in it than anything in Irithyll does.

Why did the original Firelink have to be so perfect? Why did we have to get boring hub worlds since then?
Lothric castle was pretty great desu, Dark souls 3 ends strong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdliu3JOSYQ
Why was he the best character?
>>340229293
Literally the best ending in the game, like the squid ending in Bloodborne.
>>340229496
>Why did the original Firelink have to be so perfect?
Say what?
I mean I also have fond memories of DaS but Firelink was ugly as sin and felt really unfinished. Great music though
>>340229570
>>340229496
Because it feels natural. Just some peaceful place in world, where people can rest during their adventures.
>>340229496
I always liked the Nexus better. Still the best Hub by far. Firelink Two looked like it tried to mix the Nexus with Firelink, which turned out okay I guess but not as cool as either of those.
>>340229496
Miyazaki is a confirmed hack who thought to himself "this game would be great if we took the interconnected world that was one of the greatest improvements Dark Souls made over Demon's Souls and threw it in the fucking trash" and decided to have a hub-based world with linear progression and warping from the start. He even reprised the fucking Maiden in Black.
>>340229496
>Majula
>Hunter's Dream
>boring
Nigga, I'll shank you.
>>340225490
This
>>340229686
I never really thought of it as a hub as you don't have to go there to level up or anything like that and you can even find merchants and blacksmiths out in the world. Even the NPC's aren't that special compared to Des and DS3, aside from Frampt.
Majula.
Its like firelink only a bit bigger and safer feeling.
>that pit the first time you get there
>the 5 different paths leading to a variety of places
>illusions of a waifu
>death counter was a nice touch
fofg had me excited for the game. too bad about the rest
>>340229940
I'll give you the Hunter's Dream, but Majula was fucking bland as shit.
>>340230129
Opinion discarded.
>>340229940
>>340230168
Majula is completely devoid of personality. Every NPC is either a rehashed character from DaS or a vendor who sits in the same spot for the entire duration of the game and has zero character motivation or development, their lines never even change throughout the entire game. In order to make the player feel attached to the hub they would need NPCs with actual personality and goals who actually tried doing shit on their own once in a while instead of sitting around waiting for your chosen ass to buy something from them. It's an actual chore to go back there all the time. The music is pretty alright though, one of the stronger pieces on the ost.
DS1: Sen's Fortress
DS2: Dragon Aerie/Shrine
DS3: Cathedral of the Deep
Haven't played enough of DeS or BB to properly pick my favorite zones.
>>340229940
Hunter's Dream is boring as fuck all. No ones there except the doll and nothing ever happens. I think it's the best looking one by far but unless you're some kind of sick fuck who likes Chalice Dungeon's there was nothing to do. Majula was also boring since again nothing happened and while it did have a fuckton of people they were all boring as fuck. In fact it's so boring it's the only hub in the series where the final level and boss isn't accessed through it. Again really pretty though.
>>340230341
>needing NPCs when you have that view over the ocean
You're a pleb, we get it.
Sen's Funhouse
>>340229876
Wasn't Dark Souls 3 supposed to be a mix of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1?
>>340220957
Hypogean Gaol is the best location of all soulsborne games.
Contrarians and pcucks need not apply
>>340230120
You're right about Majula having that really safe feeling. There was something about coming back and hearing that music after a boss fight that just felt so good.

Who cares about something to do in the hub? The main reason you go there is to sit the fuck down, relax, take a shit and be back on your merry way. The less goofballs, the better. Just me and mai waifu.
>>340220957
the cathedral of the deep is on par with Tower of Latria for me. I think those are the two best designed areas.
atmosphere wise Ashen Lake is my favorite.
Tower of Latria is probably my favourite area in gaming.
>>340230710
You're waifu with the same repeating lines of dialogue and an occasional teleporting old man who show's up in the back yard and cries and sleeps. Sounds great.
>>340230341
Firelink from das1 sucks, every NPC is either a vendor who sits in the same spot for the entire duration of the game and has zero character motivation or development or just a cardboard cutout of their previous selves, their lines never even change throughout the entire game.
>>340230425
I didn't realise the view is what makes the hub. Sorry anon.

Yes, but instead of taking anything good from Demon's Souls they took the one thing that was unquestionably worse than the system they used in Dark Souls. There are great things about Demon's Souls that weren't replicated in later games that they could've borrowed but instead they went and took the worst shit possible.
>>340230710
Why have a hub at all if there's only one NPC there who never has any new lines? This is the same problem Majula has. The game forces you a warp when all you want to do is buy some shit and level up. The only reason they do it is to give you stockholm syndrome so you like the character, even though it's objectively worse than having vendors out in the world, being able to warp from one lantern to another and level up at them, etc.
>>340230951
It is.

Sorry for kind of offtopic, but I finally killed MUH GUILDED MOONLIGHT rape horse and reached Research Hall.
Call me a pussy, but it`s one the most disgusting location ever I`ve seen. This shit irrks me more than snek woods or asylum from Thief 3. Mosly because of damned painful screams.
I noticed a lot of faggotria towards Maria, but now I want to smash her head in pieces. What a fucking cruel bitch.
>>340230967
>every NPC is either a vendor who sits in the same spot for the entire duration of the game and has zero character motivation or development or just a cardboard cutout of their previous selves
LITERALLY the only person this applies to is Frampt.

Out of curiosity, have you ever played Demon's Souls?
>>340231131
Sure, if you draw all the layers on top of one another it looks kind of complex. But really it's a straight line to the bonfire, then a straight line to Pontiff, then a straight line to Aldrich. The actual level geometry doesn't matter because there isn't anything substantial off the main path.
>>340231442
No, I`mwaiting remastergoing to buy PS3 may be. I`ve heard about Valley of Bullshit.
Level design in Dark Souls 3 actually drops off once you reach Irityll.
>>340230710
>Who cares about something to do in the hub?
Yeah who cares about having things to do in a place you'll going back to over and over again, right?
>>340231131
Upper irithyll is three times better than lower, even without anor londo
>>340231173
>Cruel bitch
She takes care of the patients in the Research Hall. Don't you see how they admire and love her? She gave the Balcony Key to Adeline so she can go outside and smell the scent of flowers and nice breeze so she can feel comfortable. She also threw her weapon in the Hamlet's well when she had enough of all the killing and "Could stomach it no longer."

Ash Lake is still the best across all the games. It's just hidden in plain sight available right from the get go and serves damn near no purpose to the entire game, and yet it's still just so fucking cool to spend all that time playing the game, hear about some shit in the tree in blight town, realize there even is a fucking tree in blight town and then after falling forever you stumble out into this huge fucking expansive lake with gigantic trees everywhere and this music starts fucking playing.
I'm still disappointed none of the other games have managed to live up to this. I thought Shrine of Amana was gonna be great, then I got to deal with day 1 pre-patch casters in the water and the entire place was a fucking mess. Untended graves was dope, but it being the 5th game it's too easy to find such obvious illusory walls.
>>340231653
Are you the kind that absolutely needs to have a phone when you take a shit lest you throw a tantrum?
>>340231553
Why has Demon Souls not been remastered for PS4.
Considering the franchise it is apart of and the nostalgia it carries, it would print money for little effort.
Is it stuck in some weird licensing hell.
>>340231659
>does obviously reprehensible shit, oversees the Research Hall where citizens of Yharnam are experimented on to try and produce kin, even though all the experiments fail and everyone is turned into deformed monstrosities
>lol it's okay because she regretted it after enough to make it slightly less bad on one of the subjects
>340231810

I'm not even gonna bother actually responding to you.
>>340231549
Two covenant leaders, a route back to the church, a route to another lord of cinder, a way back to the beginning from the central area, the route backward from near gwyndolin's tomb and the area above suly seemed kind of interesting though
>>340231553
I don't mean the ValleyI mean the Tower of Latria taking the screaming and torture equipment and sheer disgusting horror to a more extreme end than the Research Hall could hope for
>>340231873
Who knows. Maybe they think nobody cares about Demon's Souls.
>>340231873
I think its one of those deals where they KNOW it will sell like hotcakes, and they want to keep that opportunity for bad times, or when theres a drought of releases
kinda like squeenix has always said "We'll only touch a ff7 remake when our finances are bad and we have no other choice"
>>340231873
>tfw really want to play DeS and BB but don't want to buy a PS3/PS4 just for one game
I want it real bad, though. I even dreamed I played DeS. It was nothing like the actual game in terms of areas, but it was still pretty fucking cool.
>>340232052
>no argument
>"I'M NOT GOING TO RESPOND, HONEST"
Of course. My point still stands, though.

The church doesn't have any bad intentions towards the patients. Infact, the patients look like they are willing to be experimented on, and they even apologize and feel ashamed when the experiments fail on them.
Fishing hamlet cause lovecraft. I really hope they make a bb2 or that Aldrichs vision of a age of deep waters comes true and we get a new lovecraft inspired fromsoft game.

>swamp dude has one line till you give to thing then he fucks off and dies
>crestfallen has a little dialogue but if you talk to him he fucks off and dies
>frampt
>apprentice has 1 line until you do logan then he fucks off and dies
>domnhall doesnt even like firelink proper because he knows its shit and is just a vendor
>patches has like one line and is just a vendor
>red clothes guy has like 1 line
>big hat is there for like 2 seconds before fucking off to the dukes
>firekeeper and lautrec are neat but annoying to progress their story
>3 clerics people +1 are in and out
So less than half the people are any good.
Come to think of it why is every other hub so lacking in NPCs, das1 firelink seems to have way more than 2 or 3

>Bought a PS3 years ago expecting The Last Guardian and Kingdom Hearts 3 would eventually come out for ithaha
>Hear /v/ talking about DeS all the time back in like 2011
>At gamestop and see it on the shelf for about 10 dollary doos
>Pick it up expecting some kind of Elder Scrolls sort of game
>It kicks my ass for about 2 hours before I come to bitch on /v/ and they inform me I haven't even reached the first boss in Boletaria
But then a couple months later I got good and beat it and DaS. Fast forward a few years and I ended up buying a PS4 just for Bloodborne.
>it's a get summoned for blue sentinels and destroy the twinking rosaria's cuck for 15 minutes then chase him around the entire map until he ports out with like 20 health left robbing me of my proof of discord episode

Demons' is pretty short, I would welcome a remaster if they added MUH 6TH STONE and more weapons and simplified the upgrade system. Remove or improve world tendency. Also respec and password matchmaking and all those other QOL improvements
>>340232509
Hawkwood, Ludleth, Firekeeper, Shop lady, Andre, Yuria, Karla, Magic dude, pyromancy dude, miracle lady
Maiden in Black, Thomas, Yuria, Freke, Patches, Mepha/Yurt, Both the miracle dude and lady, apprentice wizard, and Saint Urbain
Oh, plus Ostrava and Biorr when they're around
Why does DS1 have so few NPCs compared to DeS/DaS3?
>>340233123
Most of the DS1 NPC's weren't in the Firelink Shrine
Why does nobody have a happy ending in souls games?
Everyone dies a tragic death or worst, even the protags end up with a shit deal.
>>340233123
Don't forget Greirat and Patches. And Ii we're counting all NPCs that show up in the shrine regardless of how long they're there, then also include Leonhardt. Anri/Horace, Yoel, Eygon, and Sirris.
>>340233449
Primordial Serpents get a happy ending
3-2
>>340233762
Fuck off Aldiaposter, your manipulation is as bad as the Serpents.
>>340233967
What?
I liked Undead Burg the first time. It felt well paced.
Until I started a new character and got through it in like ten minutes
ds: tomb of the giants
ds2: the gutter
ds3: irithyll
bb: central yharnam, hemwick, forbidden woods, yahar'gul, nightmare frontier
not counting dlc because those are generally better all-around
DeS: Tower of Latria, specifically 3-2
DaS: Really hard choice, but I'm tempted to say Painted World just for the insane atmosphere while still having a good length with decent design.
DaS2: Brume Tower, legitimately some of the best level design in the entire series with fantastic bosses.
Bloodborne: Research Hall or Forbidden Forest
DaS3: Undead Settlement, Lothric Castle or Grand Archives.
>>340232843
>equip silvercat ring

>>340235153
Yeah I'm sure running out of estus uses and getting your shit pushed in must be pretty boring. Sorry I stopped you from getting an easy kill with your pathetic skills..
>>340235407
psh, I wasn't even trying. I just like to toy with these scrubs. nothing personal, blueboi.
>>340222015
It really was. I was hoping for a lot more dipping in and out of residences and getting onto rooftops than what we got.
Souls' games are at their best when they're mazelike and the "correct" path isn't immediately apparent. Virtually everything in Irithyll is on the critical path outside of Yorshka, which makes it a bit disappointing.
Tfw so causal can't beat nameless King.
Am I the only person who thought Darkroot garden was one of the best places? The change in aesthetic in comparison to the other areas and the weird-ass filters in that area were there own shade of beautiful.
>>340236379
Yeah, I loved Darkroot Garden and Royal Wood
>>340223961
haha fuck you fag
your stupid fuccboi got eten by a shitty blob
>>340236379
Also ash lakes, it had a very haunting atmosphere that I loved.
>>340236379
It`s still the most beautiful forest in series, despite of PS2 graphics.
