What is something you hate about the Souls series?
The shit netcode.
I probably would not stop playing the games if the pvp wasnt a lagfest simulator.
>>344311685
its not THAT bad
>>344311493
that its not bloodborne
They have a weird problem at being terrible at fixing shit.
For example, poise was fucking stupid in DaS1, but then it proceeded to get worse in 2 and 3. Soul memory was a thing, the inventory lockouts in 3 is a thing.
In general when they try to fix shit, it breaks.
Also the netcode and way certain covenants work have never been right.
>>344311685
it mostly depends on the internet of the players, there were times i had perfect conenction with people an ocean apart and there were times i had teleport fest with people in the same region
>>344311830
>he doesnt know about the phantom range
broadswords LITERALLY have twice their range. not due to lag,tested under numerous different conditions. they just have, for no reason, DOUBLE range (as long as a greatsword).
>>344311493
having just done yhorm again, i am still mad that they ruined that boss fight with that shitty gimmick
>>344312125
phantom range is pretty consistent actually, there was a youtuber who tested it
>>344311493
covenants have been the same bullshit for 3 games now
>2 darkwraith rip offs
>blue covenant ruined in 2, then ripped off and ruined in 3
>they also ripped off the blue covenant from 1 and ruined that to
>forest hunter covenant copied 3 times within 2 games
>no more pve covenants
>rat covenant a down syndrome cousin of gravelording
>sun covenant in every fucking game, also no covenant penalties and instant covenant switching turn sunbros from good buds to retards nobody likes as everyone and their dog can be a sunbro
>dragon covenant copy in 2 as well
>only new covenant in 3 is mound makers, who are basically just invaders as no sane person would summon them to help you because FROM is retarded
>lets not forget how hard they ruined the red and blue covenants in 2
Seriously whatever there next soulsborne game will be, whether its Future Souls or Bloodborne .5 or Demons Souls II, it better not have fucking covenants because they have made them pointless and stupid
Just make it like DeS, Here is your red, blue, and white sign, now fuck off
no pc bb ree
>>344311493
Not enough cute girls
>>344311493
Like most games, the enemy not hurting each other.
its director is a hack
>>344311830
>>344312107
This is how i want souls pvp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6qa7aptE1Q
While I know this is an extreme exaggeration, The game isnt anywhere close to this. The pvp turns into a battle vs lag instead of battling the player.
I love souls games but the fact is they dont know how to code for online play. Its a complete joke
>>344311493
Fan base
>If you like <game I hate> you're a hipster contrarian
>If you hate <game I like> you're a hipster contrarian
>>344311493
Sequels
The multiplayer elements
>>344313064
WOW IT'S LIKE.. ANY OTHER FANBASE
WHOAH
>>344312986
me and my bro both play souls, the pvp is beautiful when in the same conenction, it is so much easier to parry
but somehow ds3 still fucks it up, ever few mintutes there are heavy lag for few seconds where we both teleport around
Sequels.
Slow combat > Fast.
It still hurts
>>344313352you can literally turn it off
>>344312660
I always fucking hated sun covenant, I'm trying to get the covenant rewards and helping people out but some fucking retards think it's a good idea to summon 2 people
WHY are you playing dark souls then?
>>344312660
You cant rip something off if its in the same series you fucking autist. Thats like saying pokemon rips off pokeballs
>>344311493
The fanbase
>>344313682
Well, yes, but that doesn't mean that I don't like it
>>344313401
WOAH THAT MAKES IT OK?!
>>344313401
That doesn't change my decision. Soulsfags is in the top 3 of obnoxious fanbases next to fn@f and undertale.
Overwatch slowly creeping in and going to take fn@f spot very soon
>>344311493
Bad netcode
Terrible lack of puzzles
Lack of actual gameplay
Etc.
I use to call it the dark souls of zelda, but its an enemy killing simulator and not much more.
>>344313861
Not okay, but not something you can really complain about in relation to one single game.
I don't hate anything in particular, but I think it's definitely time to stop making them.
I'll play the DS3 DLC but I'm not looking forward to it in the way I had looked forward to releases in the past.
Might be just me, but it feels like it's just time to stop.
I guess to answer the question in the most definitive way I can it's that they all play the same and I won't hate that as long as they actually do stop and leave it at 5 pretty good games.
I think they got REALLY lucky with des and, more importantly, das
They probably didn't even know what we're they doing and had much more success they expected
The sequels are the proof they're pretty incompetent and really didn't understand fully why everyone loved the first games
It has souls in the title. As an atheist I shouldn't have supernatural gibberish shoved down my throat by the christian corporations.
I hate how poor the PC ds3 release was. It's still unstable as fuck.
>>344313247
>>344313432
What these two said
>>344314202
Bloodborne is a proof that they can't work on the same setting multiple times
I thought 3 would heavily touch on the story and wrap things up, but no we just got a weak fan service.
>>344314713
hopefully dlc's will do it
>>344313751
Stop arguing semantics, you can't deny using the same covenants for 3 games straight is just lazy and stupid, especially if most of them get worse each game.
The meta and the community. Feels like they're actively trying to make the game worse for everyone. Only the opening week is tolerable.
The blatant anti-religious themes. Why does every game have an evil church for example?
>>344311493
Shit netcode. Broken pvp. The fucking community holy shit.
>>344311493
The Souls series.
>>344311493
Everything that is remotely difficult is compared to it.
>>344314997
its the devs fault tho
some weapons outclass every weapon in the weapon class
like what is the point of scimitar existing in ds3 when falchion or carthus outclasses it in every way
>>344315231
Because anti-establishment is a pretty constant theme in the series.
>>344311493
the PC community
>>344311493
Netcode, stupid ass hitboxes.
The community.
>>344315231
Look at what the games are like, anon. The "survivors" are trying desperately to find some reprieve, and this is how they found it.Also, for the edgy people
>>344311493
People that complain about R1 spam..
Its like wtf? I use a rapier, how many different ways can I thrust a pointy sword?
>>344311493
The second half of DS1 particularly Lost Izalith, bosses reappearing as mobs later on, most of the bosses in DS2 aren't challenging or memorable and world design needed a lot of work, how little original content DS3 added and its predominantly bland world and ultimately not having progressed all that much from the first game in the series seven years ago.
Dark Souls 3
>>344311493
Its PC community.
They are the cancer.
>>344311493
people forcing the game to be a hard ass comp fighting game when the game is balanced arround PvE
the souls were actually bright white or yellow
I don't like the sequel's. Both proved to be mediocre games.
Instead of a das2 and 3 is like a definitive directors cut das1 or des remaster with the broken arcstone
>>344315438
The gay community?!
>>344316412
This pretty much applies to anything
I hate how barebones the games are
>Beat the game in like 15 hours in my first playthrough
>'XD the replay value is in playing the game over again with just slightly different stats!'
>>344316546
They needed longer in the oven, one didn't learn from the other. DeS remaster with Valley of Giants archstone would be very much appreciated
>>344316937
You didn't beat any of the games in 15 hours on your first playthrough unless you used a guide
>>344311493
Without question, the fans
>>344311493
PvP duel fags.
Why do sio many people INSIST on playing the least fun version of PvP? You have a gigantic fucking world to invade. You can trap people, you can play hide and seek, you can make builds specific to certain areas.
But no, all the PvP shitters just play the most OP builds with zero variety in one area.
>>344318552
So... Smash players
>>344311493
It's made by Nips.
>>344313432
How so?
>>344311493
pvp
I can't marry the dancer or yuria instead of anri.
>>344311493
The production time is never long enough to make the end as fulfilling as the start. In ANY of the games. This shows when they release an extraordinarily good DLC a few months after.
>>344318552
I don't particularly enjoy duels, but that's a singing endorsement of praise compared to how I feel about invading.
70% health. Half as many Estus. Any attack will stagger you from any of four other players, which will enable any of them hurt to recede into the turtle and heal. Seed of Giants makes enemies prioritize you.
I still enjoy DaS3, but I don't play it anymore. There's not much of a reason to.Also someone supposedly 'leaked' that the difference between Blue Sentinels and Darkmoon were that Blue Sentinels were summoned by Way of Blue to defend them, whereas Darkmoon would invade the guilty, which could include the host, the Blue Sentinel, or the invading dark spirit. So if a Darkmoon shows up, no one would know whose side they were on. When it turned out not to be so, I was irreparably disappointed.
>>344311493
Is 2 the only weak point or is 3 also shit? I loved the first one but 2 was fucking shitty compared to it
>>344320220
/v/ started calling 3 shit lately for some reason, even through it is an excellent game.
>>344311493
Its the DCEU to Monster Hunter's Marvel Cinematic Universe.
