wow, an entire annual series revolving around pressing a button to clip through enemy attacks

how thrilling

truly hardcore
>>
If it's so simple, then why are you so bad at it?
>>
>>337507052

I've beaten DaS, DaS2, and BB. I got bored ten hours into DaS3 because I am deathly sick of rolling and R1 and the game isn't really any harder in any way.

Why are you so mad that OP insulted your favorite game that you can only assume that someone bad at the game wouldn't like it's mechanics? I like Dark Souls but he's entirely right, that's the game. You roll, wait for a time to attack, and roll some more to dodge the enemies attack, wait for a time to attack, there you go. That's the game. Every fight is like that except some enemies have different attacks thus you have to learn when to roll and when to attack.

>>337507052

Also, simplicity doesn't directly correlate to difficulty. Plenty of shmups are simple but still insanely difficult. Key difference here is that in most shmups you actually dodge the fucking bullets instead of pressing a button to i-frame through them every time.

In Black Ops III, you have to aim, jump, slide, wallrun, anticipate enemy movements especially when not visible to you, crouch behind cover, switch weapons, panic melee, etc.

In Dark Souls III, you roll, R1, and occasionally make distance to press Square if you fucked up the roll and R1.

when are you gonna git gud?
>>
>>337507687

In platformers you at least actually jump over enemies and evade them instead of i-framing through them. You make meaningful use of the space, whereas in Souls it usually doesn't even matter where you roll so long as it's not off a cliff.

(This is part of why DaS2 actually had the deepest combat. It had the most cliffs. Fighting on a narrow bridge takes more thought than fighting in a wide corridor.)

Here's the gameplay in Activisions old smegma covered cock 3:
>shoot people
>they die

And triple dark souls:
>see enemy
>kill it however you want with a vast arsenal of literally anything

Sounds like you've been blown the fuck out friend.

You get as mad about iframe rolling as most soulsborne fags get about me using a shield and blocking instead.

Wow, so difficult
>>
>>337507321
You literally explained why I like dark souls. It's very hard unless you git gud. No, seriously. That sense of reward when you actually learn the attacks and have enough physical dexterity to press the dodge button at the right time is nice.

Also, what about shields? I like using shields and shielding your way thru the game could be considered way easier than rolling.

>git gud
When will this meme die. Even the worst players 'git gud' after their first playthrough. Half the struggle of the game is on the first playthrough when learning enemy placements and where to find better weapons/upgrade materials. And after you reach a certain proficiency the game stops being fun because it's really fucking short and instead relies on it's difficulty to keep you from powering through. But if you're actually good you can just beat the game in a few hours.
>>
>>337509397
sorry OP wasn't the right word but fuck me I miss Dark Souls 1 pvp so much. I just can't stand having people roll out of my attacks only to heal while I'm out of stamina because I combo hit them. It's not even about not getting the kill I'm just bummed there's no fun in pvp anymore.
>>
>>337509342
I agree that the estus flask looks like shit, and people who bought it should be deeply ashamed.

But can we please let this meme die?

It's just lazy.
>>
>>337509703

Again, I have beaten them all except 3, which I got bored of. They are not hard.

Did you play Nioh? That game is actually hard, because it doesn't allow you to fucking i-frame through attacks, and the enemies aren't predictable and retarded; they can actually do everything you do.

Ah see now maybe you understand a little bit of why you're a faggot. See you're being reductionist and intentionally obtuse about the game to be a contrarian. As these posts have illustrated you can do the same with just about any game
>>
>>337509963
nioh is literally only difficult because of the ridiculous damage and clunky controls

It's inferior to the souls games in every, single sense.

The enemies are both simpler, less engaging to fight, and less interesting.

The bosses they've given us so far have been an absolute joke.

There is nothing reductionist in the post you replied to. It even expounds upon a point with details and fact-based argument.

No seriously, it's pretty generic, smite is better by all means. Even Iggy/Scorch haven't added much, the balance is shit as well.

>>337512018

The absolute and by far the best game released this year is The Witness, which also has more impressive and cohesive world design than the linear slog that is DaS3. It is also actually challenging and requires a wide variety of skills to develop in order to beat it. Getting the normal ending took me 20 hours and that literally isn't even half the game, so I played it for at least 20 more.

The second-best game, and the one I will play the most, is Paragon, the MOBA by Epic with GRAPHICS. The combat is substantially deeper than Souls and blessedly has no i-frames.

>>337511978

It signifies the least common multiple of the denominators of a set of fractions. It simplifies adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions.

It's often used colloquially to indicate simplifying anything from variables to even groups of people.

I'm sorry you can't think critically based retardbro. Better stick to grammar policing.

Just use a shield then, nobody forces you to evade

God, the dark soul fanbase has got to be the worst group of butt flustered retards ever. I used to think it was MGS fans, but even they don't mind criticizing their series' flaws.

Dark souls fans think their patience and ability to devote dozens if not hundreds of hours towards memorization and trial and error puts them into a special club of bad asses.

You're raging nerds. And you give a great series a bad image.

>Subjectives.

But both those games are shit, kek and you're just rattling off your grievances with iframes. Revelator has much, much deeper mechanics than both of those games, a much higher skill floor and ceiling, was released this year, and has iframes.

Takes months to get a workable Venom, Eddy, etc.

It makes sense if you're not retarded nigga'. It means to reduce the qualities of something to make it easier to ridicule (aka strawmanning through simplification, the "pressing buttons" argument).
