there is meaning, but it's subjective with some objective things, such as the item descriptions and the environment, you see skeletons burned on bridge, dragon aloft etc... the stories there you just have to piece it together.

Nah, there's actually a fair amount of evidence that links up. You don't have to believe it. Speculation is part of the game. That doesn't mean everything is a jumbled mess simply because of it's ambiguity.

Complaining that the lore is silly is more autistic than the "fan theories" you're citing.

For Demon's Souls, this. It's just such a nice subtle slap to the face with spine-chilling ramifications once everything clicks in your head.

Finding the talisman of the beast is what all Souls lore should be like. No piece of equipment should leave you with more questions, or at least one piece should give you the truth.

There is a musician, I wanna say Lennon, who when asked about the meaning to one of his songs, said something along the lines of "No that's not what it means, but most of my songs really have no meaning.

Demon's and Dark souls wasn't like that. It was Dark Souls 2 that started the "everyone forgot" bullshit. At most, Dark Souls had 1-2 items with similarities to "it's ancient and knowledge of it is dwindling" sort of items but they also gave you enough info to figure it out.

You can do whatever you want. Saying that it's conjecture is laughable. There is plenty of good information that links up with enough thought and imagination. Refusing to believe it doesn't make you wrong, it just makes you sound stupid for thinking only "crazy people" are putting a puzzle together.

Saints and Sorcerors have been at odds (including their organizations) for fucking god knows how long. The talisman of beasts (worshipped as a symbol of god for the saints) is actually the Old One.

There is no other god, no benevolent saviour to balance out the Old One. There is just one god and he's always fucking hungry. He eats souls and shit out demons.

The problem with Demon's Souls was that some of it's equipment was very clearly total shit and was not made to do any respectable amount of damage.
Aside from that it was pretty cool. Meat cleaver and blue blood are best.

I really like the Witch of Izalith and her whole fucked up family.

She wanted to recreate the flame that brought about life and meaning, and ended up creating an endless bed of explosive, never ending life that was corrupted in the form of demons.

I love how all of her children ended up fucked up due to her mistakes. I love how Chaos combines both the imagery of lava and churning , scalding fire with the constant wild growth of trees and weeds. I love how the weapons of Demons all look like they were broken off of branches or were carved from wood or just grew on the damn vine that way.

I also love the idea that she tried to recreate the first flame, but instead created a sea of lava, an "imperfect" flame.

No... but Clerics and Saints consider it the likeness of God, the benevolent one that is at odds with the Old One (widely regarded as the Devil of sorts).

The thing is, that likeness IS the Old One, meaning there is no benevolent god and they've been worshipping Santans and drawing their power from him all along.

Hmm that would explain a lot, not least why its one of the least optimized areas of the game apart from Blighttown. That separate and self enclosed feeling works with the concept of the place though. A pocket dimension held within a painting that holds the things the gods find offensive.

i don't quite understand why Miralda(DeS) calls you a''traitor'' when you fight her in 1-1.Are you supposed to be some kind of former Allant's servant?I don't think so because at the beginning of the game you clearly see yourself arriving in Boletaria,so I always assumed that you're some kind of errand knight-hero wannabe

>Game is called Dark Souls even though you only hear about one
Fun fact, the game was originally under a different title that loosely translated to Dark Ring (the accursed dark sign) but an office member mentioned a butthole and they figured too many people would link the name with anus' so they changed it to Souls to fit it into a series of games.
>>
God created the Old One. However the God the clerics worship is not God, but the Old One. This is revealed by Talisman of Beasts, True Allant's dialogue and retroactively, the intro cutscene. Saying it's the same individual is incorrect, the clerics were merely blindly worshipping the thing that gave them "Miracles."
>>
>>282724937
All of his weapons are god tier for people who level up. I'm level ~400 ish now and the true artorias greatsword has 685 attack power. It's fucking amazing. Cursed one is perfect for new londo ruins and the abyss greatsword has a really fun move set and I think powers up with your humanity?

I'm pretty sure the lighting zwei has 500 attack power and a chaos large club has near 600 when you have humanity. 685 doesn't seem all that much for being level 400 comparatively.

Well, those are as high quality screenshots you will get from DeS, all it does is expose the lack of AA. Almost all console games have 2xFXAA, nothing great by any means, but it does blur the edges a bit. I'm pretty sure DeS has no AA at all.

it of course looks better in motion, probably sitting back from a tv

Abyss Greatsword if you are 100~ because it actually scales up to 10 Humanity and has a higher damage modifier than it's AR suggests, much like the BKH. The other two are only really "good" with very high stats, but are still fun to use regardless.

Last time I played was when they put DeS on the PS store, it was also free for PS+, I think. It had a lot of activity then, a short revival. Lots of new players, lots of people who only played DaS. They had no clue what the scraping spear was. I'd invade the same people multiple times since DeS didn't have the failure p2p shit das did. They would message me asking how I broke their gear and to leave them alone. All they knew after multiple invasions was to turn their backs and run from me.

So many of them ran right into the exploding carts in stonefang.

>>282726000
Well, a lot of 7th gen games did have some form of AA. Especially those made 2010 and later. 2009 and prior, a lot of games had none.

https://forum.beyond3d.com/threads/list-of-rendering-resolutions.41152/

I was actually right, DeS had no AA at all and DaS had 2xAA

Correct, once they begging to either do any of their attack animations they have hyper armor. If your first attack doesn't stun, train yourself to roll out of the way.

Usually running up from behind and backstabbing can give a good enough window to finish them off in a combo. Blocking is a death sentence.>>282725937

Even though it's split damage, it's high enough that it's well worth using. It's on a different level from a mere Chaos+5 weapon. I've pvp'd with Arty swords on max SL and that range combined with the sheer damage is fantastic.

I was a STRONK heavy weapon user and I could still sneak up on him for the backstab, you just cannot run or else your armor will clink and get his attention. Stay far enough away that you can just barely see him, then wait for him to turn around.

The area after the Maneaters has two BP Mind Flayers that cannot be avoided and cannot be backstabbed since you face them in an extremely narrow hallway.

I don't know if it's real or not but supposedly in DeS all of the characters you meet are actually dead. They do not really understand that they are. You can find most of their corpses through out the worlds. Even Mephistopheles in 3-2.
