I'm just not having fun anymore. I haven't been for a long time.
After the huge letdown of Dark Souls II I was banking so hard on this game being a proper return to form. But this game doesn't feel at all like the game I fell in love with. Rather than return to the slow, methodical gameplay of the series' origin they incorporated the fast, hectic gameplay of Bloodborne. Almost every enemy is blindingly fast, with attacks that range from incredibly difficult to impossible to reaction parry. They have 4 or 5 or even 6 hit combos. They are relentless in chasing you down and every enemy can completely decimate your health. This isn't fun to me. Speedy, spammy gameplay isn't why I fell in love with Dark Souls. It was the slow, calculated nature of it. Almost every enemy had readable windups and plenty of recovery frames. Combos usually didn't exceed 2 or 3 hits. Enough to punish you, but not to completely decimate you (with a few exceptions). Dark Souls was about paying attention, attacking and counterattacking, like a dance. There was a finesse to it. Dark Souls III, like Bloodborne, is about spam. This is honestly the worst I've ever seen the series. And it's a shame, because the music is great. The environments are great, if not a little dull due to the overuse of a Bloodborne-esque palette. The setup is interesting, and it's characters are infinitely better than Dark Souls II. But it's just not fun to play. The PvE isn't fun.
And don't even get me started on the PvP. All this game needs are guns and it's exactly like Bloodborne. It's just rolling and R1, with no variety. Grab a fast, hard hitting weapon, no thought required. No skill, no technique. The first game had it's problems with backstabs being so powerful, but that was nothing compared to this. (Cont.)
(cont.) And then you have invader health penalties, prioritizing ganks, locking out solo hosts once invaded, half estus, the inability to effectively punish healing, everything is set against the invader. I don't want to hear another damn word out of PvE player's mouths about invasions being unfair and one-sided. Ever since this series started gaining popularity the developers have been making it harder and harder to invade, to the point where one wonders why they should even bother? It's such an uphill battle, it's been clear since Dark Souls II that the goal of each new release is to do away with invasions and have arranged duels or arenas the way to PvP. They outright ignored PVP in Bloodborne, throwing it in haphazardly at the end of production, and Dark Souls III's lackluster covenants aren't much better. But the PvE crowd keeps whining with each new release about how unfair it is they get invaded. Random invasions is what made this game GREAT. The threat of someone coming in to kill you at any time, anywhere, is what kept the game feeling fresh. No matter how many times I ran through Dark Souls it never felt stale, thanks in large part to that very mechanic. Without the invasion mechanic, without the community that has spawned up around PvP, the Souls games would only be above average RPGs, nothing more. You would see the soul of this series ripped out to make it "easier". And it seems Fromsoft is all too willing to oblige you. Whether by their own design or increasing pressure from Bandai Namco, this series has taken an increasing amount of wrong turns as it's gone on, I suspect all of which are to try and draw in new players. After all it was with the increased popularity of Souls and the release of Dark Souls II that the infamous Souls difficulty began to be incorporated into their marketing. In the bid to make the game more challenging it seems all they've really done is make the games more unfair. (cont.)
(cont.) This isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I want to play. This isn't what Dark Souls is supposed to be. And I'm just not having fun anymore. I think it's time for me to say goodbye to this series and community. It's changed too much. And I just don't have faith in Fromsoft to make the right game next time. Not anymore.
It's been swell.
Blah blah blah I'm jaded: the thread

It doesn't even have to be DS3. All Soulsborne games are welcome!
How did people feel about pic related
1 was fun
2 was ok but had goat multiplayer
3 was fantastic
Ignore the handheld titles
Wouldn't mind a fourth game on PS4
>>343466397
i always thought the games had a really cool story and fun weapons too in terms of gameplay
I was always was interested in this series but never had a PS3. Now I have one and the games but I'm too lazy to set up the console. Wat do?
JUST DID THIS! HOLY SHIT! IT'S LIKE BEING IN ANOTHER WORLD
Did you experience any nausea?
Just did it too and I'm lightheaded as fuck.
Got a lanyard and pin out of it though.
EVE Valkyrie is some casual shit I tell ya what.
I tried it once. Not as bad as the memes say
What would make you want to buy an NX?
strong third party support.
hacked and able to pirate days after launch
New Smash ( Not just Smash U with more fire emblem characters )
New 3D Mario Game that doesn't take inspiration from 3D World or the "New" series.
If we aren't going to be getting a real Paper Mario then a Mario & Luigi release on the NX would be pretty cool.
Bayonetta 3 / Wonderful 102 / No More Heroes 3
When was the last time you cleaned your controllers /v/?
>>343465841
yesterday when ur mum sucked my dick if you know what i mean lol
I'm not the only one that eats the grit that comes out of the creases of controllers when you do that, right.
let's get this out of the way
I can't be the only one who eats that shit, right?
>pr-order now for the low price of $80 and get a couple of shitty skins
>>343465838
I watched multiplayer gameplay for this and I'd forgotten how big and empty battlefield matches are. Literally 2/3rds running through empty map to find something to shoot.
>niggers in ww1
Why is this allowed?
>>343465838
>all skins are black.
Would I like this game if I kinda liked Soul Sacrifice for the PS vita? I've not played MH games before. I tried SS due to getting it for PS+ and it was pretty fun. I lost interest in it pretty quickly mainly because I wanted to play other stuff.
Tried a MH game as well, the one for PSP because of PS+ as well. That one I didn't like too much. Not a fan of the claw.
I've stopped by the past couple of GE threads and it makes me sorta curious on the game.
>>343465712
It's not nearly as good as SS.
>>343466359
They are similar type of games though, right?
>>343466796
Yeah. Monster hunter style weapon crafting but at SS speed. Its decent enough, watch some gameply videos
Why did they never bother to buff her?
She was one of the weakest characters at launch, and is even worse now.
>>343465378
Because they know there's always some triplenigger waiting to perfect every single aspect of the character, and the only people who care about Jigglypuff are similar tripleniggers, so there's no point in changing it.
>>343465378
because fuck rest
>>343465575
So essentially, people were going to get good with her if she had potential, therefore she needed to be as bad as possible?
That's complete bullshit.

Cleavage is gross you fucking fags

How do you feel knowing that this company's ONE (1) GAME is dying?
>>343634257
They deserve it because they've systematically reduced the ways in which people can play LoL. In everything from characters builds to the way you join matchmaking.
Any time there's something not even remotely to their liking they will remove it, no matter if tons and tons of people enjoyed said thing.
The game's meta has been stagnant for literally years because they want people to play exactly how they want you to.
>>343634257
I mean it was bound to happen soon or later. Riot mainly needs to understand people are leaving and try to get them back by changing stuff that needs to be changed (i.e. DQ, balancing for the Community not LCS, more bans in matchs, etc.)
>>343634257
get ready for the fighting game.
How is it?
Lags like a mother fucker
It's a bit too lengthy for my taste and the brightness setting doesn't allow for very good vision.
>>343465090
Really like it. It's like $7 right now and I'd say its a pretty good price.
BF1 is clearly going to be a huge disappointment, and Verdun is an unpolished, boring turd.
Why are there no well made games that feature an appreciation of the World War I aesthetic? I just want 1 well good game that let's me run around with my SMLE or Gewehr 98, just 1.
>>343465052
Oh wow, a thread that isn't whining about niggers for once.
I agree, BF1 seems to be more of a collision of a bunch of different things instead of trying to be somewhat historically accurate. But I'm not sure how you can make a WW1 game that has a varied class system and isn't a boring turd where everyone dies in one shot like in fucking Verdun.
Because WW1 was boring trash and if it's going to live up to the WW1 nonsense, it's also going to be boring trash.
You either have boring trash, or you have shit that's been ruined historically and made over the top.
You can't do a middle ground for WW1, you have never been able to and you never will be able to.
It's always gonna be trash from either side.
>>343465748
The eastern front was pretty cool but no one learns about that shit in school so......
You cant make a shantae thread whit out lewd pictures

Games are below average and theres no good feature on the franchise than "oh god sexy belly dance fapfapfap!!!!"
Like... what did you expect?
Wii was a revolution in human machine interfaces.. Similar in the way Nintendo had invented the d-pad and the analog stick, I had supposed Nintendo had successfully ushered in a new age in which every competitor would soon have a gesture sensitive device included in every console.
So why hasn't motion controls become the default user-machine interface solution for the entire electronic gaming industry?
What happened?
>>343464420
It's gonna have to be implemented in VR at some point or another. VR with just an Xbox Controller is pretty damn pointless and adds nothing but immersion to the experience. I know, I tried an Occulus Rift. VR is just as gimmicky as motion controls are. The two work like butter and jam tho.
It was always a dumb gimmick. Barely any games used it in a way that a controllee couldn't have done. The only reason other companies followed suit is because the Wii was a massive commercial success and they wanted to get some of the motion control meme magic.
It might work well with VR. Though, VR's just the hot new hardware meme that will probably be forgotten about next generation.
Motion controls are stupid when they're not 1:1, and don't mimic actual movement.
With a controller, you press forward to move forward.
Some games with motion controls decided it would be a good idea to change this, and make it so waggling both controllers up and down like you're running is how you move forward.
That type of motioncontrol interface is a gimmick.
But true, 1:1, motion controls are only just starting to gain traction because of VR.
Any and all interfaces that complicate interaction are gimmicks, any and all interfaces that sensibly integrate motion controls should be accepted. That's why dance games made the most sense with the kinect. It's a dancing game, so you dance to play it.
