BB has the best level design but there's no build variety, they murdered magic, removed faith and pyromancy and didn't allow me to play as a full plate shield + Halberd Paladin so it can't be the best, sorry.
>>
>>343412450
I really don't care for them gameplay wise though. The battles are completely shallow and based on very little other than just "use the enemy's weakness, don't get hit by your weakness"

The thing that redeems the otherwise incredibly boring combat is the fun of the collecting, but that's gotten pretty bad these days with all the shitty Pokemon nobody wants.

REAL PATRICIAN ORDER:

BB > DeS > DaS = DaS3 >>>>>>>>>>>> DaS2

The order of DaS and DaS3 is debatable because it really depends how highly you value replayability.
Personally I think the existence of Lost Izalith and Four Kings drags 1 down a lot whereas 3 has no ridiculously awful areas like that, but I admit I'm more willing to replay 1 than 3.

You have to find the badges to get all the extra weapons. They don't drop off of enemies, they don't come in chests, and they don't just sit around like they normally do.
Unless you have the DLC, in which case you'll find a lot of them just laying around in the Nightmare.

You've gotta kill optional bosses and do optional areas and shit if you want to get new weapons since that's how you get badges.
And each weapon has two variants with different gem slots that you can buy in chalice dungeons once you've gotten the regular versions.

Read the thread.

Anyway, it's not that there are "better" franchises, that's up to subjective taste. But thinking Souls is the be-all-end-all of video games only shows how small your experience with video games are. Play more games, play games from before your time.

I like Souls, don't get me wrong, but it isn't even on my top 50 franchises.

I do think Ninja Gaiden has better combat, but it's worse in most other aspects, and is so different in gameplay and mechanics from Souls that it's really not comparable at all.

Dude, demons souls is garbage. The gameplay is just bad. The upgrades are annoying as all bell to. Oh what? I need to upgrade my greatsword to faggot +10? Better spend the time grinding to get materials for it to get to plus 7, then grind materials for ten more upgrades in spider stone. A stone that only drops from on enemy in the middle of the level with no quick way to get to it. The bosses are garbage, demon god is just run here hit this and he's AN ARCHDEMON! For fucks sake the final real boss fight, false king allant would blow like no tomorrow if it weren't for that steal your soul level move, which did make it impossible to min max just in case. This game is garbage, stop saying it's amazing and better than the newer ones just because it's the one you played ad a child and that's the only to keep from kicking the bucket

Why do you think all video games have to be 3D ARPG 3rd person combat games?

Just to name some franchises I consider better than Souls:

Gradius, Ganbare Goemon, Contra, Castlevania (classic), Ghost and Goblins, Demon's Crest/Gargoyle's Quest, Panzer Dragoon, Sin and Punishment, Darius...

You may not like them, maybe you haven't heard of some of them, but that doesn't mean your taste is better than mine.

Just accept that just because you personally think Souls is the best, doesn't mean everyone has to share your taste, okay?

As for 3rd person combat, yes, I do prefer games like Ninja Gaiden, DMC 3/4 and Bayonetta better than Souls, but they're not even the same genre anyway.

You're a fucking retard and you can't make comparisons between genres that have absolutely fuck all in common.

And a shmup like Darius or Gradius or Sin and Punishment will never be better or have deeper mechanics than the Souls games.

You're a delusional jaded nostalgiafag just like I thought who can't look at games objectively and is still holding onto relics of the past. Like I said, literally the only game that has better 3D combat than Souls is Ninja Gaiden, and that is entirely different in ganeplay and mechanics.

The irony is that Souls is popular because of it's mechanics and difficulty emulated games of that era compared to the lack of challenge posed by most AAA games.

>tfw you 80% agree with OP about Souls but retards are constantly shitting up the threads

This is why Witcher faggots continue meming even if Bloodborne was objectively the better game in 2015

I think it's a lovely series starting from King's Field, to the few side games, all the way to latest Dark Souls.

My only issue with the series is that I think it goes down in experience quality with each game you play. I think that's because the more time you spend playing the entire series, the more you're used to how things work. It degrades the experience. These games really shine when you see them with a fresh pair of eyes.

Personally I think whatever game you played first is going to be the best. Of the Soulsborne series, I played Demon's Souls first and it was amazing to me. Looking at it now, compared to the others in the series, I can see where it's flawed and definitely worse in terms of combat and enemy combat, but it's still my favorite. Dark Souls was my next game and while it was a neat and isolating experience, it lacked the initial wow factor as well as creativity that Demon's had.

Most people seemed to play Dark first, so I know a lot of people consider it the best one. It also doesn't help that each game strives to become more unique than the previous games and creates a lot of very lame, over designed monsters, bosses, set pieces and gear.

I always find nostlagia retards hilarious, they clamor on about how their taste is so superior and how old games were so much better then when you ask them to name examples they name standard affair generic games that everyone has heard of that were the equivalent or worse back then of what something like Souls is now. Difference being the mechanics and design and graphics of gaming has improved immensely so the equivalent game launched now will always be superior to the equivalent game 20+ years ago.

The Souls games blow the fuck out of literally every game you named. Try again.

Nostalgia is irrelevant. For all I know you could be a 15 year old whose first game was Dark Souls so you can also be nostalgiafagging about it.

>The Souls games blow the fuck out of literally every game you named. Try again.

That's your opinion and I respect it, but I don't think Souls are better then Gradius, Castlevania or Sin and Punishment.
Different genres, different strokes. Not necessarily better or worse. I'm merely stating my opinion, just like OP stated his (although in a very annoying way).

And I'll remind you, one more time: I do like Souls games. Just not to the point of them being my favorites. Deal with my opinion.

You really think that way? I have no nostalgia for those games, but most of them have aged pretty damn well since it's 2D.
2D gaming peaked in the 90s, and indie devs are now trying to recreate that, but very few actually accomplish it.

Sorry anon, again: I LIKE SOULS! so calm your tits, I'm not shitting on your absolute favorite games, I enjoyed them too.
No, I don't think they have the best gameplay mechanics and combat, it's slow, clunky, and rolling gets old fast. I already said I prefer NG/DMC/Bayonetta better, that in terms of 3D action games.

If you think Darius or Castlevania are "garbage" then I dunno man, are you sure you like video games at all? I never called Souls garbage. You just seem overly defensive. Just deal with the fact Souls aren't my favorite.

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare has better combat than souls in almost every possible way

Also BB is the best souls game because individual weapons and spells actually have depth

fromsoft games are subpar in terms of graphical fidelity, but tend to make up for it with their excellent art direction. Perhaps I'm an outlier, but I think that DaS3 has the worst art direction of all the soulsborne games. Playing DeS or DaS1 after DaS3 won't look as terrible as you imagine.
>>
>>343420454

Nope started with Bloodborne.

But, working back through the series, even reviews of Demon's still made specific reference to the lack of handholding, difficulty and allowing the player to figure things out on their own.

The "Prepare to die" was only paraded about by cancerous hyperbolic faggots like yourself, and given the fact your lack of reply in regards to the souls series bringing back old school mechanics and just going off on some tangent about being a PC player who started with Dark Souls, I'd bet my house on the fact you're just projecting and that's exactly how you got in to the series.

>DMC
Let's not kid ourselves. DMC is shitty autism bait with punching bag enemies in which you can just stand in place cycling moves while occasionally jumping or dodging, and throwing in a taunt for good measure. It just favors autistic recital of weak combos to fill an arbitrary style meter when that's not the fastest or most efficient way to take out enemies.

Both movement and attacks themselves (both you and the enemies) are slow and clunky. The movement is awkward and not fluid and miles below the movement of NG or even something like fucking MGRR. The jump is pisspoor and because there's almost zero lateral movement it's just used for iframe spam.

The game also lacks depth (and no having an arbitrary style meter doesn't change the core mechanics); maybe if every style could be equipped simultaneously it would begin to have some depth, but having to choose between dodge, block/counter, or having more than one attack button? What a fucking joke.

Only having two weapons at once combined with shallow movesets cripples the combat and ruins variety. There are so few moves for each, nothing on the level of NG2's 15+ base attacks (counter, strong, weak, strong hold, weak hold, strong pause, weak pause, forward strong, forward weak, 360 attacks, OT, UT, bow, shruiken, air combos) for each weapon + dodge/block, and this is without even going into the 50+ combos for each weapon. And not to mention NG2's more fluid movement, more strict timing, more smart and adaptive enemy AI (especially bosses), and the weight given to moves by not being able to simply hop right out of them into a full i-frame to apex jump whenever you see an enemy do one of their predictable tells before an attack.

And before you say childish nonarguments like "git gud" yes, I am an avid action game fan and have played them for many years. And yes I am a master at the genre. And yes, of course I have beat the game on DMD; I would never critique a game without mastering it first.

I have a hard time ranking souls games because I don't want to classify any of them as "the worst one." They each have their strengths and weaknesses and I love em all for the things that they do.

With that said, BB atmosphere makes my dick rock hard, so it's my favorite of the franchise.

Dark Souls has bad games too, 2 and 3. Counting good games on this franchises would be: GTA, has 3, Vice City, San Andreas, 4 and 5. DMC has 1, 3 and 4. RE has 1, 2, 3, 4, CV, Outbreak Series and the REmakes. My pick for the best franchise would be RE. I like the souls games, 1 was a masterpiece, 2 was so bad it was good (One of my favorite games) and 3 wasnt really that good, It was the weaker of the 3. I know the thread was bait too

Das 2 isn't as creative as the other two. Namco has more of a hand in it, since the first game was such a hit. That's probably why there's more memeish stuff like the gratuitous difficulty of sections like Horsefuck Valley or Darklurker areas. Or Sir Alonne's memory. Or the entirety of Dragon Shrine. Or the Shrine of Amana. Or the Undead Crypt.... And also, as mentioned the toning down. People, including tweens were latching onto "Prepare to Die".

But I digress. Dark Souls 2 doesn't feel like a sequel, even though the fire is a part of it's story. It goes in a different direction in terms of it's design, and while change can be good, it can also be bad. Had Dark Souls 2 been more cohesive and had the same connections between areas that the first and third games had, it might have been better received as a sequel.
