>two bonfires within 10 meters of each other
I assume this is the point of the picture
>>334257080
There's two bonfires within sight of each other.
Seriously, half the bonfires in this game are redundant, they give you one after you kill each boss, and also put one at the start of each area, often there is no enemies and a 10second walk between them.
>>334257232
That doesn't seem like anything to make a fuss about. You aren't obligated to rest at each and every one.
>back to back bonfires
""""""""""""""""""A Team""""""""""""""""
>>334257318
"prepare to walk 10m edition"
>>334257318
What's the fucking point of having a bonfire 10m away from the last one. Worst thing is the next area is just Logan spamming magic at you for 4 stories with no shortcut until way after
>not cosplaying as dorito pope
I wish I could play this game.
By some fluke I got to play it for 5 hours last night, but now it wont start again.
Yeah there are bonfires everywhere. The amount of shortcuts is pretty ridiculous too. The path to the boss in Irithyll is an amusing example of that. You take the lift and open the small door to make a shortcut back to the church bonfire. Then you open the big gate and make yet another shortcut to the church bonfire, making the previous shortcut completely useless. It's almost like the devs thought "oh people love shortcuts" and put a bunch of them in the game without putting much thought into what they will even be used for.
>>334257632
I am, it was right after a tough boss so I put on some proper armor
>>334257035
If this is the biggest problem the game has it has to be pretty good.
>>334257693
It's also the most linear souls experience ever, including Bloodborne.
But it is a great game nonetheless
>>334257562
Maybe they were just being cheeky. Maybe they forgot about it. I don't know. Why does it matter? It doesn't affect the game at all.
>>334257035
Needs a bonfire in the middle of the two, what would happen if you run into something in the middle of the road?
>>334257736
It does affect the game as early as High Wall of Lothric where unlocking the gate shortcut back to the first bonfire doesn't feel very satisfying or useful because of the other bonfire in the area.
>>334257728
really? there's been so many times where I couldn't decide where to go first. I guess dark souls 1 did start off with more branching paths though
Sorry im not seeing the actual problem here, can someone explain?
>>334257828
The areas themselves are fairly open but the whole game is area 1 -> area 2 -> area 3 -> area 4.
>>334257878
There's not enough bonfires. How do they expect the average player to walk from the first to the second? Dangerous af.
>>334257815
Then don't unlock it.
>>334257975
The shortcut isn't the problem, the bonfire is. Or are you suggesting that people should avoid the bonfire too despite not knowing what to expect at all?
>>334257035
Every boss fight spawns a bonfire, every new area has a bonfire at the start. These two just happen to be close as fuck, they did it so the whole game was uniform.
>>334258137
The game has too many bonfires so maybe they shouldn't have. Also there are a lot of exceptions to that rule so there goes uniformity.
>>334257962
still not seeing an actual problem through your sarcasm
>>334257915
I'm tired of this "DS1 WASN'T LINEAR" meme. You could say DS1 was less linear, but it was very poorly designed.
It was:
a. area 1 OR area 2 -> these skeletons are hard, but I'm masochistic so I'll proceed anyway -> fuck, why can't I progress -> I HAVE TO GO BACK NOW WTF -> area 1
b. area 1 -> area 6 because you picked a gift that allows you to unawarely skip quarter of the game
c. get LV -> area 8 OR area 9 OR area 10 but it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever
Souls games are at their best when they present you vast areas to explore and secrets to find, including completely optional areas you can easily miss.
>>334258709
DS1 was the most linear out of those 3 games, you'd have to have some major nostalgia goggles to claim otherwise
>>334258709
>I'm tired of this "DS1 WASN'T LINEAR" meme. You could say DS1 was less linear,
lol. also, 'meme' - your opinion is invalid, but I'll still address your bullshit
>a. area 1 OR area 2 -> these skeletons are hard, but I'm masochistic so I'll proceed anyway -> fuck, why can't I progress -> I HAVE TO GO BACK NOW WTF -> area 1
For the first playthrough, yes. On a second playthrough?
>run past skeletons
>loot the fuck out of the place
>kill pinwheel and get the kindle really early
Same goes for Blight Town, and by the way you're REALLY stretching with the 'quarter of the game' - you can get to Blighttown through darkroot garden in just a few minutes more time.
>Dark Souls 3
You go from Area 1 to Area 2 To Area 3 and on and on until you get to Area 7, where there's an extra area you can access but only with a gesture you get in area 10
>>334259027
>it's a words I don't like are a fallacy episode
Stopped reading right there, (You).
>>334259128
Not an argument
>>334258709
>because you picked a gift
I like how you casually dismiss one of the coolest and most memorable elements of Dark Souls 1's world design.Thanks to the Master Key the first third of the game is incredibly open. It's not like Dark Souls 3 where you skip content because you're not aware it exists or want to do it later, the skips in Dark Souls 1 are very deliberate and give you all sorts of benefits. You can even do New Londo Ruins as your first area of the game, for crying out loud.
>>334259027
His use of the word "meme" was completely appropriate in this case.
>>334259191
>I like how you casually dismiss one of the most poorly designed elements of Dark Souls 1's world design
Can't you read, I didn't. Are you going to tell me next about AMAZING Lost Izalith world design too, nostalgiagobbler?
10/10 design B team
god this game is fucking garbage, and the casuals are eating it up, le prepare to die
fucking souls series is dead
>>334259275
>ignores parts of posts that prove him wrong
shitposter extraordinaire
>>334259275
Nah, everything after Sen's is pretty shit. Doesn't change the fucking amazing sequence breaking potential of the early areas, though. That's really something Dark Souls 3 should have expanded upon instead of just removing and replacing with some basic forks/optional areas here and there.
>>334259191
>You can even do New Londo Ruins as your first area of the game, for crying out loud.
>go to NLR
>lol, you can't pass yet, go back and get LV first, then run though the whole areas again, lmao
>What, you wanted some loot? HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>334259329
>everything I don't agree on is shitposting
(You), now go back to jerking off to Anor Londo aka empty halls with giant copypasted enemies because why not.
>>334259361
You can do the entire area. The only thing you can't do right in the beginning of the game is Four Kings.
>>334259417
speaking of anor londo and copypasting... you played dark souls 3 yet? xD
>>334257035
Roll roll attack
>>334258137
maybe they should have based their design around good design rather than adherence to a senseless rule
>>334257728
Yeah bro so linear.
>>334259597
Agreed, but the Nips are just autistic like that.
>>334257632
thats what ive been calling it too
i love seeing the dorito popes everywhere
>>334259636
B-BUT DS1 IS LITERALLY BEST GAME EVAH, THIS CANNOT BE
PRAISE LE SUN???!?
>>334259636
Hahaha nice fucking try. You can't get to Lothric or Consumed King's until after Dancer which is after Profaned Capital.
>>334259774
I did Dancer much earlier than that. You can do dancer as soon as you meet Emma.
>Hahaha nice fucking try
kek
>>334259636
It's not totally linear obviously but compare that to pic related. Keep in mind that you only need to do two of the pre-Sen's Fortress areas, so everything else is optional and if/when/how you do it is completely up to the player.
>you'll have to get me a miracles book
>in braille
Fucking hell, thanks for completely ruining the very little amount of immersion I felt.
>>334257728
How is Bloodborne linear? It has the most optional bosses out of any Souls game.
I think the souls series is great and have enjoyed every game
>>334260689
Tbh Bloodborne has the same problems. Multiple shortcuts to the same destination while one is better than the others, and every boss spawns a lamp after defeat. Granted, excluding this fact the lamp placements are probably better, but DaS3's areas are kinda larger than most BB areas. It's also hit or miss sometimes, as example the Cathedral has imo really good shortcut/bonfire placement design, while in Undead Settlement it was all over the place.
>>334260689
NO YOU CANT ENJOY IT, IT HAS BONFIRES NEXT TO EACH OTHER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>334257035
If this is your complaint about the game then I guess DS3 is a 10/10.
Where is this?
>>334257035
>Dark Souls
More like Dark Rolls. I don't understand the appeal of these games. The combat looks boring and the setting is just a grittyfest.
>>334260990
What was your GOTY 2015?
>>334260975
Pls respond
>>334261412
Not that one, but that I can see the appeal. You have the story, the characters, the role playing and the fucking girls at least.
>>334257035
This game is basically das2 running on the bb engine with some reused das assets.
Thanks From!
>>334261412
Splatoon.
Everything else was pretty shit.
>>334261718
>the combat "looks" boring
>meaning he's never played souls
>bought a wiiu
i would make fun but it's just too sad
>>334261953
I'm a completely different poster, but yes I bought a Wii U and I won a ps4. It's safe to say the ps4 is still running dust collecting simulator, while my Wii U gets nearly daily use.
I haven't yet finished DaS1 so not looking to play DaS3, just wanted to say that Splatoon is easily GOTY 2015
>>334261953
Splatoon oozes fun though. And it is.
He's right, you know. Even Dark Souls 2 didn't have have retarded bonfire placement
haha "papiesz"
>>334257035
>>334257675

>>334261412
Witcher 3. The combat sucked (it wasn't THAT bad), but everything else was great.
I can understand if it's for bonfire ascetic purposes, but otherwise there's no reason to just not have the bonfire. It's like having a bonfire under the dragon bridge in DS1 and then having the ladder that leads to the previous one.
>>334261412
I loved Witcher 3, though after the first few hours the game was just too easy. I chose to make the combat more interesting, or at least look cooler. Instead of spamming and such, I tried to make fights last longer and try to make it feel less easy I guess. Didn't really work that well but I'd say It made the game more entertaining,
Kinda autistic actually I guess. At least the last boss fight in Hearts of Stone was somewhat challenging till you figured out the simple pattern.
>>334265390
>but everything else was great.
Like what?
Don't say quests because they boiled down to higlight items with godmode and click on them
>>334259361

I really like Nintendo and I was pretty disappointed.
>>334264956
Demon's Souls didn't let enemies or players attack through terrain. Their attacks would bounce back just like it would for a player.
>>334259361
>being a pacifist
Murder begets treasures.
>>334259774
I can confirm Dancer is as soon as Emma dies.
So you can go to Lothric pretty early on.
>>334265264
As I recall it's usually a 3 hit combo in the other games. But yeah, same fucking thing.
>>334265580

Heres something I encountered.
>>334265958
greirat sells a bastard sword, the boss in that area lets you buy boss weapons, the undead slave with the flamberge can drop it, and theirs is a greatsword and the guys with the saws drops them as GS's

Good luck killing it that early its stats are quite high if you just got there for the first time
>>334267830
I am sure that you can complete the whole game with like level 10 character, so you surely can kill dancer with a level 30.
>>334267830

There's too many bonfires but the level design is leagues above Dark Souls 2.

I hate that the Firelink Shrine doesn't really get you anywhere. In DS1 you had multiple paths branching out. Hell even Majula in 2 did that.

Until catacombs and smouldering lake. Don't know if it gets good again later but man, what a fucking drag.
>>334271928
Catacombs looked like a Chalice Dungeon
>>334273580
That's my problem with it and the underground part of smouldering lake is the same shit but even worse. Disappointing after how detailed the first few levels looked, hope it gets better
>>334273580
Not him, but I agree, I finally got my plat on Bloodborne and I was pretty fed up with the dungeons so I just ran trough the last one. Had I not played so much chalice dungeons I might had liked the catacombs.
Man, invading is hard. What's the counter to quick weapon where you can spam R1? Feels like slow weapons just don't cut it.
>>334273810
From what I've seen, it does. I've only been playing it with a buddy so I've seen some areas, but not others. The design of many areas makes up for some lackluster things like the CD rip and what not imo.

Bloodborne did the same/similar thing
as well as Dark Souls
and Dark Souls 2.
>>334277382
Bloodborne had them a fair distance apart, but offered multiple shortcuts to return to one.
Dark Souls had them far apart and you generally had to fight something big or break through a large horde to reach it. Not only that, but they were usually hidden.
Dark Souls 2 was a pile of shit.
>>334257035
Literally looks like bloodborne
