Are there any people who genuinely like Dark Souls 3 more than DaS2?
Most people judging by the Steam reviews.
Why yes that's me.
Yes, me. I like it a lot more, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like DS2
Nostalgia morons mostly.

I hate DaS3
This. DS3 just apes previous games, without adding anything new, while also looking like shit.
Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring - they share some themes and gameplay elements, and even with some of them having their share of jank, each one is distinct and memorable. DS3 is not so much, it's just a fanservice game. I can't find any reason to replay it because other From games exist. It may work good enough as the only From game someone would play though.
>just apes previous games, without adding anything new, while also looking like shit.
but enough about DS2 and Sekiro.
low tier bait
no (you) for you
>ds2fag criticising 3 for having Ornstein
no one tell him, it’s funnier if he doesn’t know
It wasn't a problem if putting him there made some sense, but no, they needed some enemy in that place, It's not even homage, just reusing assets
>NO IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT ORNSTEING WENT TO FOLLOW HIS OLD MASTER TO THE PLACE WITH THE MOST DRAGONS TO FIGHT
>IT MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE TO HAVE HIM IN SOME RANDOM-AS-FUCK LOCATION THAT HAS NO RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING
dark souls 2 gays are insufferable
>a sequel actually references the original game? AHHH SAVE ME moronMAN!
I wonder if this same autism would exist if DS2 was called Giant Souls or something while DS3 was called DS2. DS3 is so much better for actually feeling like a real sequel.
Yeah, you're a fucking retard.
>this PS4 game looks better than this PS3 game
have a nice day.
Why are 3tards so mentally impaired? They're the 12 year old COD fans of Souls series.
are you mentally ill and braindead at the same time?
I didn't meant graphics itself but the enviroment diversity and colour.

Famalam, throw yourself off a bridge.
Stop being black and underage.
dark souls 1 prepare to die edition even looks better than dark souls 2. dark souls 2 legit looks like fucking quake 2. i cannot believe its a 2014 game
>They're the 12 year old COD fans of Souls series.
says the guy who L I T E R A L L Y ignored an argument because he didn't have an answer and called the other party a retard....just like a 12 year old COD fan
reminder that the
>muh nostalgia ree fanservice
are DS2morons seething that people shat on that game for it's pathetic copypasting of Ornstein et al by "no u" ing 3
Only 3 is an actual sequel set in literally the same locations, to the same plotline as the first game, and it proved contrast and thematic conclusion to the first game.
Y'know, like this thing called "sequels" do. So you'd have to be a vehement retard to dilate about it like this, aka be a DS2moron.
DS2fags live rent free in your head, apparently
>DS2moron daily bait thread

literally everyone can recognize you and your threads the instant they show in the catalog, DS2chud
>"let's all agree 2 good 3 bad, wait what why would you call me a DS2chud"
dunno, must be the stench from your gaping axewound
Thank you, jesus christ. Imagine if people treated Majora's Mask this way.
Anyone who legitimately thinks 3 is a "thematic conclusion" to 1 needs to be fucking killed. 1 had a definitive ending and wasn't supposed to have ANY sequels, but 2 at least distanced itself a bit and sort of tried to do its own thing. 3 is a hodgepodge clusterfuck of complete retcon nonsense that goes absolutely nowhere
3 is a "thematic conclusion" to 1 especially after DS2's retcons
3 runs with 2's retcons and then shits out a bunch of its own, neither game has shit all to do with the first game but 3 more directly shits on 1
>3 runs with 2's retcons
you know that this is a lie
you've lost this argument so many times already
do you have brain damage
The "cycle" garbage was made up in 2 and 3 took it and ran with it. This is a fact and you're a retard
Neither need to exist because 1 is a complete story on its own, and 3 is no better than 2 with its absolute nonsense about angels and a nation of fucking pygmy lords
Again you're crying about 3 when the problem is actually 2
you're a moron
Both 2 and 3 are retarded and shouldn't exist you drooling retard
Cope gay
have a nice day fucking mongoloid retard
You know more than one person has an opinion on Dark Souls right?
Who the fuck are you kidding dude?
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean, are you trying to tell me there actually is only one person with an opinion on Dark Souls?
tbf I've never seen the ds2schizo acknowledge that ds2 sucks before so this feels like growth
>3 runs with 2's retcons
And tries to tie it back into 1, fromsoft buttfucked the lore in 2 unapologetically, if you don't like 3 it's only because fromsoft fucked the lore up in 2, and they realized this with 3. They realized what a colossal failure 2 was
are you accusing ds2 of not being canon? because it is whether you like it or not cope
Sute it's canon, Deckard is a replicant too, Ridley Scott said so so it's true no matter how fucking stupid it is and how much it destroys the entire point
NTA but it does not destroys the entire point.
The point is that you are not even aware of the fact that you are a replicant, just like Rachael wasn't aware. Plus they live in a world where animals are extinct (this was better explained in a book).
>but 7 years life span
...which was added later to certain replicants.
Rachel knows she's a replicant in the book which is why she fucks deckard to get him killed. The book is unironically more interesting than the movie thematically and all scott did was subvert the original themes of the book, which is something he picked up from the gnomish film industry.
Magic should be useless and in fact I’d prefer it to be removed from these games. What kind of gay plays a mage when you could be a knight?
>What kind of gay plays a mage
Me. Playing as a pure mage with no weapons and being dressed in a thin robe is actually fun. And quite challenging in DS2 DLCs since all enemies in those 3 DLCs have high resistance to magic.
Not to miracles, tho.
Magic is fun in Souls games where you have spell charges instead of FP.
?t=429
>I hate DaS3
Of course you do. That's basically the whole identity of every rabid DS2gay.
It's a sequel.
>like all the soulsbornering games equally since they all do different things well

almost no one likes DS2 so yeah also DS3 is kino as fuck and its overhated by BBchuds.
DS3 is my favorite

Not many
DS3 has the most fun bosses in the series so yes
>muh bosses
This phrase indicates a DS3fag's confusion and lack of understanding.
just another bait thread
not even necessarily 2roons just gays
I understand if you anons don't like DS2. Of course, I am talking about people who actually played it, and that number is small. The majority of Gankerermins just repeat the same thing to "fit in".
...
...but I don't understand how and why are you ok with how bland and monocolor DS3 looks.
I am not ok
Well, at least one of you is honest and not delusional. Thank you, anon.
I care more about environments not looking like an N64 game than I do about color palettes
cringe
DS3 still looks better than DS2 which has only like 2-3 nice looking areas and everything else is dogshit.
>...but I don't understand how and why are you ok with how bland and monocolor DS3 looks.
It's ok DS2chud, everyone knows you made this thread just to seethe about 3 and babyrage why nobody likes ugly as shit 2 over 3.
>DS2chud because DS3 mogs his disgusting deep fried memegame on visuals
God, 2 is such a disgustingly ugly game.

This is your brain on Dark Souls 3, the worst game made by FromSoft.
It wasn't me who made this thread, anon. This is my 3rd post in this thread.
>chud
I will never be a woman, just like you'll never be a man. So I guess we're even.
Elden Slop is worse than both
DS3 is just a more limited proto ER combat with bland, linear locations.
ER has shit PvP so it loses to God3
And DS2 PVP is way above DS3. Your point?
>And DS2 PVP is way above DS3.
>Your point?
Huh? Sorry, don't reply to me again, retard.
If non-linearity means low quality recycled content that pads out a map, I’d rather have linearity

>Sorry I don’t care for Ubisoft tier open world slop

have a nice day.
Looks like I struck a nerve
Elden Slop is literally just discount ds2 with gimped ds3 combat (which is just gimped bloodborne) and one of the worst open worlds ever made with no fun interaction or actual POIs all you do is run around on your horse, kill trash mobs and do discount chalice dungeons.
ERGod still mindbreaks you people after so long kek
>t.
pontiff looks pretty af, all that matters since real 3chad are going to spend hundreds of hours there
Dark Souls 2 will always be the retarded black sheep of the series
pretty much everyone
>Elden Slop is worse than both
Anyone with a brain.
If DS2 is so much prettier than DS3 why does it need mods to actually fix it before the downgrade came?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but every PC game has mods. No exceptions.
yes but i specifically said DS2 was downgraded in terms of its shadows, lighting and overall quality and only recently the mod is being made to address that.
Are you are referring to that latest mod which was shilled here a few days ago?
I honestly think it looks worse than SOTFS version.
Flames of Old? That will come out never.
I think it looks better than the vanilla version
name 5 pc games that has mods I'll wait
>every Bethesda game (Elder Scrolls, Fallout...)
>GTA series
>Need For Speed series
>Cyberpunk
>Star Wars games
Let's not talk about nude mods (Tomb Raider, Resident Evil...)
Why is DS3 so damn ugly?
you don't get it, it's super sickdark-core, only real Dark soul fans get this aesthetic
you were being mocked to your face, you fucking retard
>y-you were mocked
I really doubt it, take a second look at the picture in question.
>DS2moron literally too stupid to use eyes
>DS3tard gets hard looking at monochromes
Famalam, throw yourself off a bridge.
>DS2moron can't argue and schizes out at anything related to DS3
Famalam, learn to read.
DS1 achieved dark fantasy look without making everything grayscale.
>it's not grey
>it's brown!
>tfw the red and blue calm flame's bonfires are gone forever and people that played the remastered unironically says they don't mind the changes
GET ME OUT OF THIS FORSAKEN TIMELINE!!
>Complete lack of shadows in most environments
I think every asset in the game actually has the capacity to cast dynamic shadows, but this feature was disabled for whatever reason. Someone re-enabled them, and it improves the look and feel of the game drastically: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/1571
>Entirely grey color palette with a few exceptions like the sky in Archdragon Peak
This one speaks for itself.
>Low detail environment textures that catch light incorrectly
This is the result of multiple mistakes interacting with each other: the lack of shadows, the flaws of the lighting engine in general, and the low detail, flat textures for assets that are the most common in the game (rocks and stone building materials). Everything has this ugly rim lighting effect that looks like pillow shading at its worst.
>The lighting engine
There's too much that's wrong to describe here, but the lighting is far too basic for the quality of the game's graphics and the complexity of environments. There's a severe lack of light sources of every kind in every part of the game. Candles, torches, and bonfires are the most common point light sources by far, and atmospheric light feels like it has no fucking source, partially because it doesn't cast shadows.
Thanks for linking that mod, I'd never seen it before. One of my few complaints about DS3 is the LOD bug, where textures flash in their different LOD's and it's very immersion breaking. I'm playing with everything at max and 4k but there's no LOD slider on PC. Not major but still annoying, there's a mod to fix it but it's not safe for use online.
I'm just theorizing here but I feel this is over-correction on Fromsoft's part due to the reactions to BB's FPS issues + the lighting issues they ran into in base Ds2. Given the troubled development Ds3 also ran into I think they just sacrificed the lighting to just make sure the game ran smoothly.
I sincerely hope the guy who's fixing DS2's lighting moves onto DS3 after, since it's the same engine and he can probably do the same thing
I hope that too
>Same engine
He doesn't know
Yes. I like it more than DS1 too.
For me it's 2>1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3
I played each game on release.
I’m sure this is a genuine opinion
Huh? Well, look at my playtime.

are you me? i tried to replay ds3 this year but don't feel like playing it.
replayed 1 and 2 last year with no such issues
>what if worst is actually le best lol this will get them mad
I agree with him and I don't care if it makes you mad, your opinion doesn't matter to me
out of all the souls games i can never bring myself to finish DS2 or Sekiro because i always end up being bored to death not even halfway through.
I don't even know what they were thinking with sekiro
what a disaster
ironically sekiro is the highest rated fromsoft game on steam
Again, Sekiro got the spammer treatment from OP, same as elden ring. Sekiro was so unpopular that his sekiro bait threads died in couple months
legitimately nobody cares about sekiro

They weren't. But who cares, these days they will sell basically anything because

Like the upcoming Armored Core 6. People are excited because it's a new FS game, not because it's a new AC game.
Yes, there are people without a scat fetish, so DaS2 is not their thing

fuck off to /vg/ you discordish cunt
sad but true
fuck off back to your ds2 chud discord
stupid samegay
haha nope
>samefagging ds2 chud projecting
Yes, the majority of people have functioning brains, as you can see from steam reviews and metacritic user reviews.
steam reviews and metacritic are not credible moron
this thread really makes me question why some like ds1 and dislike ds2, its almost like just saying whatever is popular. ds2 world design may not be logically consistent but its at least consistent gameplay-wise and is plenty non-linear, whereas ds3 has by far the most linear world out of any souls game
DS3 fags only play at Pontiff's, they don't care about the "world"
i liked DS3 but if there's any souls game that unironically deserves the "soulless" moniker, it's this one
did two playthroughs and have no desire to ever play it again, nor any memorable encounter i can remember. there was that part where you get pelted with arrows and then fight a giant tree that was kinda cool, i guess?
good take
i think there's an explanation for that behavior
npcs like linear, in all forms. linear design, but also linear consistence
for a npc ds1 can be good and ds2 can be bad because ds2 is different and lacks linear consistence. ds3 is also good because it's similar enough to ds1 in mechanics and extremely linear
whereas a pc will appreciate the choice-driven gameplay in both ds1 and ds2. while ds3 is a bit meh in exploration
i'd wager ds1/ds2 > ds3 vs ds1/ds3 > ds2 maps perfectly to pc vs npc
I found Dark Souls 3 more fun but it was a very safe sequel whilst Dark Souls 2 did a lot more interesting things but I overall didn't like the game that much
I wish the Looking Glass Knight was an actual covenant
>BRO REMEMBER DARK SOULS 1??? IT'S SO, LIKE, EPIC!!! the game
Embarrassing
but enough about fanfiction 2
uh what? part of the reason many loudly dislike ds2 is because its story has virtually nothing to do with the first game
alright kiddo back to collection your 4 lord souls
you dont know a single thing about the stories in either games do you
alright kiddo that shrine of winter aint gonna bypass the pile of rubble for free y'know
i accept your concession

concession accepted
>projecting
moron, DS2 is about "curing the curse" and being the "next monarch".
What in a french fried tittyfuck do you think that means?
Oh yea, becoming Lord of Cinder, like the first game. Which is why you literally kill the reincarnations of the first game's big 4. And then fight Manus' reincarnation. After your Green Firekeeper tells you to LINK THE FUCKING FLAME.
The entire plot of 2 is very poorly delivered and hinges on you knowing wtf causes the undead curse from the first game, and how it's cured in the first game.
NTA but isn't the curse the eternal life?
>We unded will never die.
Reminder that every dead NPC has a tombstone and ou can summon their ''ghost'' if you examine it.
>eternal life
No, you're a zombie. The body starts to go fucky-wucky if you don't have enough humanity.
>their ''ghost''
It was a retarded mechanic to bypass people killing NPCs, it has no real basis in lore. They also tied it to several hour timers before the ghosts pop, which means most people legit don't know they exist.
The undead curse appears when the first flame is becoming weak and needs to be linked again. It is "cured" when it's strengthened, undead can die again once it happens.
I'll take fanfiction over

>NOOOO YOU CAN'T FOLLOW UP ON THE LORE OF PREVIOUS GAME IN A [email protected]!2
This isn't lore. Dark Souls 2 leans on its Nietzschean implication of eternal recurrence, Dark Souls 3 stole assets from 1 and called it a day because they thought fans are too stupid to notice.
>anriandel continues the lore of the previous painted world and how the painted worlds perpetuate themselves

Because it's autistic brainrotted chud, it cannot comprehend why a direct sequel building off of the first game isn't the same as shitty ass DS2 dumping hecking Ornstein in front of a rando covenant to pad out the game.

i'm glad a single word triggers you enough to not confront how ignorant you really are
>what is basic saga building
having elements repeated and recontextualized is basic fucking storytelling not an epic RLM goyslop meme. learn art literacy
bro, are you seriously mad that a narrative sequel contains elements from previous installments? It'd be bizzare if it didn't.
Yeah man, it'd be bizarre if a sequel didn't reuse the exact same characters, locations and plot points, that's so fucking BIZARRE!
I don't recall seeing Yorshka or Aldrich or Gael or Irythyll or the Ringed City in DS1 or DS2.
It kinda sounds like you're just mad and want to argue for the sake of it. No idea why but have at it I guess.
Yeah, you don't remember seeing the DLC content made for Dark Souls 3 in previous games. This is the smartest DS3 fan, everybody. This is a testament of their intelligence.
Irythyll, Yorshka and Aldrich are in the base game, anon. Did you play it?
Oh, and I guess you agree it doesn't re-use what you wrote previously?
>Yeah man, it'd be bizarre if a sequel didn't reuse the exact same characters, locations and plot points, that's so fucking BIZARRE!
Glad we finally agreed.
>Irythyll, Yorshka and Aldrich are in the base game, anon.
And the other half of what you mentioned is not.
>Oh, and I guess you agree it doesn't re-use what you wrote previously?
Not only does it re-use assets and content from the previous 2 games, they even made a DLC which RIPS OFF Dark Souls 2 areas. That's so fucking low of them, man.
>Not only does it re-use assets and content from the previous 2 games, they even made a DLC which RIPS OFF Dark Souls 2 areas
No one tell him who directed Dark Souls 2 and co-directed Dark Souls 3
Tanimura wasn't co-director on 3, that was different dude.
Tanimure assisted with DS2 references and some map designs on 3 and that's it.
>Tanimura wasn't co-director on 3, that was different dude.
he's just a sub-co-director, isamu-sama was the real co-director
>h-he wasn't the co-director

yes

You were saying?
So
has it backwards then
>I made sure to keep my distance

>"RIPS OFF Dark Souls 2"
>takes a giant shit on DS2s meme level
>better than all the levels in DS2
Dark Souls 3 was made with Blodoborne's leftovers.
Literally untrue, BB has a fuckton of cut content that is not remotely present in Dark Souls 3.
>And the other half of what you mentioned is not.
So, like I said, you're just mad and want to argue for the sake of it by spouting nonsense. When someone points out your moronic "arguments", you either ignore it or start moving goalposts, like you did just now. I sincerely hope this is all bait, anon. For your sake.
It's no nonsense. You mentioned 1/10 of Dark Souls 3 to prove it isn't a shitty rehash, that's fucking low of you, man.
>DS3 copy pasted old content
>Like what
>Uh... Uhm...

He's a really old schizo spammer and does it for attention
My most played PS game.
I am done with PC gaming, so I won't post that.
i do.
ds2 sucks dick with its 50 enemies ambushes everywhere while still having slow gameplay from ds1. at least in ds3 you are faster and can deal with multiple enemies.
Obviously. DS3 is fun, shame about all the cut content.
Yes because it's an objectively better game in every way.
DaS2 is a genuinely shit game. I'm so tired of DaS2 fags thinking they're cool for being contrary. It's the worst game in the series and that isn't an opinion.
>It's the worst game in the series
That would be DS3.
i like it more than ds1 as well
DS3 is the best soulsbornekiro game
Here I said it
>soulsbornekiro
Go back to *eddit
ds3 has the best footstep sounds
DS2 is better than DS3, but SOTFS is objectively a worse game and probably the one most people play these days which is a shame.
Chad opinion
Blows my fucking mind they thought SOTFS was an upgrade in some capacity. All they did was add more cancerous shit to the game for more "Dark souls LeDifficult" which leads to people like
who end up thinking the game is fucking annoying, which I totally get. I defended DS2 for years cuz i never played SOTFS but I finally got it last year and its truly a worse experience BY FAR
The only good thing about SOTFS, and it's only for the new players, is that DLC access items are hidden rather than present in the inventory right from the start.
all new player friendly design is kinda pointless since sotfs is a turbo remix that kinda expects you to have played vanilla dark souls 2. it's loaded with obnoxious gotcha moments.
>MFW DS2 NG+ is a remix of DS2 NG
>MFW SOTFS is also a remix of DS2 NG
>MFW SOTFS NG+ is a remix of SOTFS NG
>MFW no other Souls game has a remix of any kind
The enemy placement it SOTFS is completely retarded, as well as the petrified statue spam everywhere now.
Every Souls thread:
>people pretend they play the series for the story
>people pretend they understand the story
>people still not realising that granny in DS2 intro is actually Shanalotte / Emerald Herald
>Emerald Herald in DS2 intro
source?
his ass
the literally who granma in the intro is the fourth sister to the 3 grannies in Shits Betwists
shits betwists?
It's right in between the shits between and shit is convoluted
Time is convoluted, and when you make your character other grannies tell you they were fire keepers once, and how one is missing. Missing, not dead. Plus, they say something like
>You spoke to that kind old dear, didn't you?
Shanalotte says she will always be with you, as long as theire is hope. She is always one step ahead of you. In Drangleic before the castle entrance, in Dragon Aerie, in Throne of Want when you open the gate... Also, in intro:
>Long ago, in a walled off land, far to the north, a great king built a great kingdom. I believe they called it Drangleic. Perhaps you're familiar. No, how could you be. But one day, you will stand before its decrepit gate. **Without really knowing why...**
When you obtain King's Ring after beating Velstadt and talk to Shanalotte, she says:
>Bearer of the curse, if you are to be the next monarch, then, one day, you will walk those grounds…**without really knowing why.**
That was the hint.
>Time is convoluted
HE SAID THE THING
moron, the housekeeper literally says there was a fourth sister and the respec granny knows the intro granny sent you.
Keep your shitty fanfiction to yourself, DS2 is bad enough without you trying to make it worse.
>literally says there was a fourth sister and the respec granny knows the intro granny sent you.
That is exactly what I said in my post, anon. Yes, Shanalotte is one of those old ones, but in the game she appears to you in her younger and cute ''shape''.
The game literally says Green Bitch is a weird dragon homonculus, you schizo.
>Keep your shitty fanfiction to yourself, DS2 is bad enough without you trying to make it worse.
Seriously, take this advice to heart, you're embarrassing yourself.
Not my problem if your favorite DS2 hating youtuber didn't talk about this, and you were too young to figure it out by yourself. That is your problem, not mine.
ds2 is the only souls game i can never finish, the whole game is literally designed to be as annoying as possible and its not fun at all, the encounter design is fucking garbage and if you think its good you're a fucking idiot, they literally just thought ds1 was good because it was hard and tried to make ds2 harder, which is hilarious because of life gems and bosses you can literally just walk around it makes it the easiest game in the series
Dark souls 3 is my favourite fromsoft game fuck Ganker
>Dark souls 3 is my first fromsoft game fuck Ganker
ftfy
>My first fromsoft game was sekiro then eldenring then ds3 then 1
you're a tasteless trendhopping gay
How ?
I like all from game equally, ds3 and bloodborne i like more because of personal preference, so now people don't form their own opinion and preferences
he would be if he had sekiro as his fav
My first was Dark Souls 1 and 3 is my favorite
And what of your proof? Do you have proofs?
i just hate how ds2 feels to play. the animations, the feedback when hitting stuff. it feels very floaty. i dont give a flying fuck about muh weird level layout. the core gameplay feels weird to me.
DS3 is really saved by its DLC. With no DLC it’s easily the worst entry but with DLC it’s better than 2 and imo on par with 1. But the base game is indefensibly bad and I think that ruined the perception of it
>80% of the game is bad so people think the game is bad
I mean...yeah?
Everything but the bosses in DS2 is bad
This is not a logical response to what I posted
Are you a bot?
This is a world record for the schizo OP getting mindbroken because all his points were dismantled
Anon, he gets wrecked every day, and he still keeps making a new thread the next day.
Tbh, it seems it's only enjoyment he can get out of DS2, since playing it is so painful.
I've never seen him completely break down in 200 posts of his first threads of the day before
He must be feeling especially retarded today
He's been doing this since 2016. He defaulted back to Dark Souls III when he realized Elden Ring was too good to be lambasted mindlessly. He also pushes the same narrative in every single thread, its always something like "Why do people like Dark Souls II more than III?" or "When did Ganker turn against Dark Souls III" Its completely mindless behavior from a person that either is very insecure about the games they like or they're just very spiteful.
>He's been doing this since 201
That's only since DS3 came out. He's been doing "this" type of shitposting for over a decade. He was spamming DS2 launch threads with "acti like the clunky controls" and "actually the shit bosses are great" etc
Really sad if true.
He's one of the oldest spammers on Ganker still around. He's an old console war xbooks vs gaystation thread spammer with sales and shit hastily cut and pasted on his "memes"
He also relentlessly shilled cyberpunk
Yeah, but I also think Dark Souls 2 is better than 1 and 1 is the worst in the series even when including all soulslike from games combined.
Is he right?
Ds3 is the most well tuned, well balanced souls game with the best world design, and that's because every zone is a 7/10 instead of some zones being 10/10 and the rest being 1/10 like in DS1
>every zone is a 7/10
Only DLC zones maybe, base game is linear trash
Every fromsoft game is linear except elden ring and that's why it's the worst
DS3 is the most linear of them all and this is why it's the worst. Every other game lets you change the order of the playthrough somewhat.
Linearity is actually a good thing because it helps devs perfect the pacing and progression. Fromsoft is not actually capable of making a non-linear game. I don't think any Japanese dev is
It isn't. Dark Souls 3 is the worst Souls game.
This is not a logical response to what I posted
Are you a bot?
True, there no way any amount of people can make immersive massive open world game and same goes for player no one want to explore massive open world, linear games are more memorable
People who like open gayworld also love ubislop games
>if you like good open world game you also have to love the bad ones!!!
You can get to Lothric Castle early and with DLC you can access end-game areas as soon as the cathedral.
>You can get to Lothric Castle early
This is the only instance in Dark Soul 3 of being able to access an area in two different ways, and it doesn't matter since you can't progress any further.
>every other game let you change the order somewhat
>this doesn't count because I said so
Have you ever argued with a schizophrenic before? They do be like that
wrong, you can do cathedral first to keep and catacombs or go off to smouldering lake, at irithyll you can go up to anor londo or down to profaned capital or even pop off to archdragon peak blahblah ds3 linearity is half meme
Learn to fucking read before you start writing you numbhead, I've never mentioned branching paths, go fuck yourself.
who cares pissbrain you're arguing about linearity or is your pussy aching because ds3 doesn't do a particular type of non-linearity? in which case
kill friede > dreg heap
kill lothric > dreg heap
go finger yourself
it's linear
not as linear as whiny gays make it out to be, and non-linearity being better is a meme, see: elden shit
it's still much more linear than any other Souls game, it does not understand what made 1 and 2 so good, it's a failure ofnagame
>2
>good
nice bait, bro
it's underrated
it's shit
2 is the least linear one and also the worst, so you can see why 3 might take a different approach
well 2 was breathing up the oxygen so 3 suffocated to death, truly a contrarian's choice
2 must've hyperventilated, fainted, cracked its shit-soft skull and died, providing fertile manure for 3 to grow, out of its myriad mistakes
2 is a genius law student and 3 overdosed on crack
2 is dog, 3 is god
I'm sorry anon. 2 is a bad game. 3 is not a ton better but notably so.
It's okay to like a bad game. There are objectively bad games that I enjoy and have nostalgia for. You don't have to have cognitive dissonance over this fact, you're an adult and can enjoy what you want.
You could continue making these threads for 50 years and it will not change the fact that 2 is a bad game that was rushed out the door unfinished and was an ugly, buggy mess. No amount of people you convince can change this. No amount of effort on your part will change this. Some things just are the way they are.
shut up
2 was the hard time, 3 is the weak man
2 is the overwhelming smell of shit, 3 is the fleeting fragrance of cherry blossom
2 is Wii, 3 is Wii U
2 is shrek, 3 is rance
>2 is a bad game that was rushed out the door unfinished and was an ugly, buggy mess
I'm pretty sure that DS3 has teleporting dogs and, just like in DS1, you can hit enemies through the wall. You can't in DS2. Is this why DS2 is buggy according to you? Because weapons can't go through walls?
>DS2 is completely unfinished
>yeah well DS3 has some bugs
cope moron
You are free to point to bugs that are present in Dark Souls 2, anon.
You mean like the entire game having broken hitboxes? That's not a "bug", that's an unfinished fucking game
you retarded baboon moron fucker
Hitboxes aren't bugs you fucking idiot.
Why do you pretend to be stupid to win arguments?
He craves attention
Every (You) is like a pat on his balding head
Yeah, I actually didn't expect a reply from a youtuber, so I'm not surprised.
>DS2chud shits xirself and cries for the 6000th time
kek
I replied to this post.
>2 is a bad game that was rushed out the door unfinished and was an ugly, buggy mess
And I ask, list the bugs in Dark Souls 2. That shouldn't be hard for you if the game is a buggy mess, yes?
https://darksouls2.wiki.fextralife.com/Bugs+and+Glitches.
Ah, I had to google manually. I guess your link was broken.
the link is fine you're just retarded
Yes, it is fine when I had to look for it. You can't even provide a working link.
It really is astounding how you can try and make the issue of you being unable to copy and paste links somebody else's fault because you lost the argument
did your mother not love you as a child?
anon, there's a period at the end of the url that is actually a required part of the address that you either didn't copy or didn't highlight when you opened it in a new tab. it was visible from the first screenshot you posted.
in his infinite autism he probably removed the period and then got the idea to claim the link is broken for attention
Anon, I tried opening the same link on my phone as well (where it allows me direct link, with no need to copy it) and it didn't work.
Don't know what to say to you. I mean, I can provide that screenshot as well, but in that case that mongoloid (you know which one, not you) will say I'm double posting.
>I'm a fucking retard
yes we know
No, this phone of yours ignored a period at the end of the link. You owned yourself, you stupid gay. 3chads won.
I don't think anybody wins when OP refuses to admit an entire wiki page of known problems with DS2 exists because he can't copy paste the link correctly
>every 2chad who posts in this thread is OP
Famalam, you know what to do.
Yes, OP is a notorious samefag and relies on arguments such as "I'm too retarded to copy paste a link because it refutes my shitpost spam".
Fextralife is the worst website to ever exist, not many people are dumb enough to not think that the period was anything but a mistake, who the fuck places periods at the end of a link?
>I removed a period from a link and the link broke so I claimed to win the argument because I'm retarded
Again did your mother not hug you enough or something OP?
That's basic logic. That's what your brain is for. That's what cognition is. And my mum loved me plenty.
>I took something out of a link and it didn't work anymore and this is your fault
Literally fucking mentally ill lol
>3tards so deranged they have to link to sites which defy all logic
sure
I don't think an aspie like you is capable of basic logic no, actually in order for you to post like this practically every day for over a decade I'd assume there has to be something very wrong with you
over a decade you didn't have access to the internet, you weren't even born yet, you're a fucking pussy
I didn't ask
scram back to your discord if you want to be in a circlejerk that masturbates to shitty color palettes on a daily basis
you assume you can get away with your roleplay because nobody on the board is old enough to remember you doing the same thing in DS2 threads
dark souls 3 is linear
you are a bot
Not true. When you get to swamp, you can go to T W O different locations in any order.
I'm here reading this schizophrenia thinking is there any point in replying to you, my joke thread is not some continuos plan to make DaS2 threads this was just a shitpost but looks like it broke someone's brains. Guess as a shitpost it was successful lol
>here's a link
>it's actually not working
>just like magic in DS3
I will take not from now on. This was a good experience.
thank you for admitting defeat in your own, small brain retard way
Your link doesn't work.
>REEEE I made bait threads for 10 years but I don't know why DS2 is shit REEEE
kek, moron
It wasn't me who made this thread, you batshit crazy mongoloid.
It says 404. So they don't exist?
>It wasn't me who made this thread
Yet you're in every single thread defending the OP
I am not defending anyone. Point to a single post where you think I defended a person.
>DS2chud can't copy a link
JEJ
>adds a dot at the end of the link like a fucking retard
you can't even copy things properly, much like the Soul of Dark 3
absolutely mortifying self own
The chud doesn't have any humility, it's actually a robot
>didn't bother animating legs because the enemy never leaves tall grass areas in the base game
>rerelease game as a ROMhack with random NPCs everywhere
>put the NPCs without animations in the open
what were they thinking
smarr indie game studio prease understard
Okay, so you're just a shitty troll, I guess that makes me feel a little better
But the DLC areas are just as linear, retard.
I preferred 2 until I actually finished the ringed city, now I prefer 3.
Me
Better than any Elden Ring dragon, how did they regress so hard.
they regressed by trying to make fights against dragons actually fun
Habibi I know you don't believe this
compare the fun valor that comes from fighting placidussex versus Midir aka Elden Beast 0.5 aka virtual AIDS
By copy pasting the worst dragon fights in the series? No they were just lazy
>like DS2 better than DS3
DS3 is the real DS2, that shitty failed mmo scrapbook-like game has no right to bear the name
I love DS3. I’m also trans, not sure if that matters
nice try eldemoron
Are you saying trans folk aren’t allowed to like dark souls III? Don’t be a bigot.
No I say they should go back to their true home DS2
All the schizo baiting and shitposting aside, can we all agree this is the best bossfight of DS3?
I love her feet but Gael is the better boss
the only souls boss i never beat solo
Laurence for me. Literally impossible.
Good thing gael summon was already gone for me during the fight, i solo her and after beating her so much dopamine release, my hand were shaking and sweating, probably the hardest boss in ds3 but fun, my favourite boss was gael he's fair but not to hard, he literally feel like we're dancing with him
Remove phase 2 and it would be perfect
If it weren't for phase 2. Phase 3 is a joy to fight but it's a slog to get to.
Yes, me.
Dark souls 2 is the worst souls game ever. I'll never forget my disappoint in 2014 on release day. Fuck that garbage game.
Elden Ring is proof non-linearity is not inherently good. I hope the DLC is a hallway with 4 bosses.
Because its a better game. setting, tone, story, characters, dialogue, designs, combat and soundtrack knock Dark Souls II out of the ring. Its only problem is that its incredibly unfinished but even then I'd argue its still better.
I don't care about the other points, because they're subjective, but I don't understand
>combat
The spastic nonsense that gave rise to the rollspam meme tainting the series for 6 years is better than a proper development of DeS/DaS1?
>soundtrack
I remember exactly zero pieces from 3 (not counting Gwyn's motif used for the final boss). 2 at least has the Majula theme.
I do. Souls 2 is complete trash, only good thing is Majula.
I just think it's funny how fans of the two worst Souls games (at least before Elden Ring) keep arguing among themselves, as if they acknowledge their game is trash
3 might have been dickriding 1 a bit too much, but it’s generally better designed than 2. The bosses are really great too. 2 is fun, but it has a shitload of issues.
3 took all the good parts about bloodborne and ported them top pc at 60 fps. This is why consoletards seethe
I like dark souls 2 more but I have to admit darksouls 3 is more polished and more playable. I probably just like the second game because it was the first I played
I hate how in DS2 you start in area where the sunset is happening, then there is an area with night and then fucking day and then night again like wtf.
in this game you literally go through a tunnel from a sunny area to an area where it is night time and raining and a giant castle is present on the horizon that was not there before lol
yeah that is my biggest gripe with the game, the locations are so fucking inconsistent.
Outside of contrarian central, most people regard DS2 as the worst one.
They spent too much time and resources making 3 souls games back to back. Bloodborne was the only one that didn't feel as unfinished .
3 is much more accessible and user friendly. It also sold like 20 million + so most of this fanbase doesn't even like the other games period.
bros...I'm starting to feel sorry for the 2tards...lets just let them enjoy their shitty game and let them say it "won"
Me
Most excellent
>Is there anyone who genuinely like GOOD THING more than BAD THING?
Retarded contrarian Gankerigger
Yeah, just because I prefer the fast paced style over DaS2's slow paced style. I do think the levels/areas were more interesting in DaS2 though.
>browbeaten into abandoning the game and arguing for 20 minutes about a fucking url
has anyone ever been this demoralized?
Reminder that the Dark Souls franchise you spergs won't stop creaming your pants about has ONE good game. And yes, i'm including Elden Cringe here.
All of them are good and you're a worthless gay
Dark Souls II is the only one that truly sucks, it got all the reasons why people liked Dark Souls wrong and it opened the floodgates to dumbasses that wanted to be LE HARDCORE GAYMERS
2 and 3 are the two worst ones but 3 is worse than 2
tfw futuristic outfit is just a single colored shirt
Now when we actually made the fextralife working, can you tell me if you encountered any of the mentioned glitches?
>The Drangleic Castle gate can close for whatever reason and you can get stuck without being able to re-open it or the door to the first bonfire.
So go again and kill enemies to open the door. Again. Also, you open certain doors with King's Ring equipped and when you pass the door they close behind you. Is that a glitch as well?
it's better in that the main non dlc campaign is very consistent
but it's so much more safe and bland that I just don't really give a shit about it
2 has really cool and original parts about it and fucking awful retarded things about it but I have strong feelings towards most of the game
with dlc and after shit was cleaned up at launch?
I much prefer 2 over both 3 and Elden Ring any day
reminder that ds2 copypasted 2 bosses from ds1
reminder that elden ring copied 1385198385 bosses from itself to reuse all over the fucking game. tree spirit is also from ds3 lmao
>Tree Spirit is from DS3
I remember this sperg point about some giant tombstone models that went unused in 3. The tree spirits are even less so, considering they were never implemented in any fashion.
that is an aside point. the fucking use of that tree spirit like 18 fucking times was fucking atrocious. i dont think i have ever seen a more bloated fucking game than elden ring. so much fucking pointless boring shit in that game like every single fucking cave, catacomb and dungeon with a shitty enemy as its boss that drops some shitty ash of war. seeing that dilapidated cabin asset for the 50th time was also really fucking cool bro
you never played any other open world game did you, ER is easily the best and least bloated open world game to date, from the modern games anyway.
That chud loretuber datamined Elden ring and found that the tree spirits were probably the pus of man final form
Fuck me if I understand what the fuck is that enemy supposed to be. Just give me giant mutant frogs ffs.
Tree spirit is literally slightly altered pus of man enemies from DS3, I don't know how that gets lost in translation
No, my point is what the fuck is pus of man supposed to be? What kind of enemy is that? It looks like a walking pudding.
A "gotcha!" enemy fromsoft made to 1hko low level players by coming out of nothing
I think this shit design is probably why tree spirits are so shit in elden ring
>Tree spirit is literally slightly altered pus of man enemies
Have you not played both games?
absolutely horrible taste, i am glad i don't live like that.
ds2fags think quirks and gimmicks are all a game needs to be good. yes i can't follow a hecking chonker pig and get a shitty pickaxe i won't use in ds3, but at least i can fight bosses that don't fall off their arena like dragonrider.
That was a tribute to Taurus Demon boss fight. 🙂
>ds2fags think quirks and gimmicks are all a game needs to be good.
anon that made that post here
those are your words not mine
but it does provide things to "like" or otherwise make you give a shit
das III's leveldesign and encounters were usually It's X from darksouls, but now mixed with Y from darksouls wich got rather stale after the initial referential "oh that's neat" experience lost its lustre, and especially after it kept happening over and over to the point of becoming just predictable
I liked most bosses in 3 too. None of them extremely frustrating or broken. But outside the FFA abysswatcher fight, the boring wizards in the forest (pinwheel tier), and the two brothers I can't really think of anyone. And the brothers, gimmick didn't even work all that well as soon as your weapon is big so it feels like every other boss except now they teleport sometimes mid attack and were visually not all that special to me. And their emotionial bond a big whatever to me. (Something I did feel during say Gwyn or finding fair lady)
Another factor in this "consistent ok to good quality but idc" is that the more arcadey and lenient ability for you to roll. (both in terms of lenient 70% encumberment level and the quantity or rolls you get to cue up early) made most bosses feel samey'er than previous titles to me.
>but it does provide things to "like" or otherwise make you give a shit
Yes because you are a predictable NPC, watch you are going to unironically complain about "fanservice" in Dark Souls 3
>das III's leveldesign and encounters were usually It's X from darksouls,
Look at that!
I genuinely found ds2 to be a great game but again I am not into "good gameplay" so to say. Maybe is just me but it does have something to it.
2 - best level design, best freedom of exploration, best unique mechanics, best ng+, best challenge runs, best fashion, best npcs, best pvp
3 - best overall quality, best bosses, best soundtrack, best graphics/animations, best aesthetic, best dlcs
1 - best demon's souls demake, best shit areas, best terrible bosses, best awful fanbase, best broken poise, best most overrated game of all time
>best overall quality
Fuck no, the entire first half of the game is a miserable slog and several of the mid-lategame areas suck too like Profaned Capitol and Irythill Dungeon
>best bosses
A solid half of them are fucking dogshit and everyone conveniently forgets about them when they're raving about how great Nameless King is
>best soundtrack
EASILY the worst soundtrack in the entire series, they took the obnoxious overblown bombastic choir shit and blasted it through the roof
>best graphics/animations
Eh not really
>best aesthetic
I sure love grey and brown ruins and swamps
>best dlcs
Ringed City is okay but nowhere near as good as Artorias of the Abyss and even Sunken King is arguably better
bro I hate to tell you this but seething about ds3 won't make 2 any better
I don't think he cares about either, if he does this is the most infantile poster on Ganker, possibly in its history. Rivaling actual shit eaters and cum bottlers
I love how 2fags and 3fags are eternally at each other's throats and think any criticism of one is defense of the other. It's like watching two sped kids beat each other up in the mud arguing over whose turd has more corn in it
You're implying there's more than 1 DS2 shitpost spammer
What's even better is when anon B replies to anon A and then anon B replies to anon B and pretends he's someone else because noone else agrees with him.
Even better than that is when anon C inserts his worthless opinion into a conversation he isn't part of so he can feel clever
No, the question is, are you anon D or anon B?
I don't have the energy to follow whatever dumb line you're trying to draw, DS2 and 3 are the two worst Souls games and their respective retards locked in an eternal slapfight over them as though either of them are anything more than alright is an endless source of comedy
Anon, that was a simple question. You could just answer it and not acting furious.
Just asking, which one is your fav Souls game?
Nobody's ever actually mad at you or "trolled" because you've been using the same script for over a decade
At this point you can only bump your threads with samefagging, you might as well just sit in front of a mirror and talk to yourself at this point
DS1 = ER > DeS = BB > DS2 > DS3
I like all of them to varying degrees but 2 and 3 have the most problems and give me the least desire to replay them
my ranking is way different, but I thank you for honest reply. You see, this is how normal people communicate. I assume you're talking about OG Demon's?
...which you are not. Anon B.
>talk to yourself
>look I'm communicating like a human bean!
More than one person is talking to you anon, calm down the schizophrenia. I've never played DeS remake because I don't have a PS5, and I don't really have any desire to play it because from what I've seen it completely fucked up the atmosphere, artstyle, and music
>calm down the schizophrenia
Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
No, and I don't care
well you should, because you're wasting your time talking to a glorified bot
Every thread has boogeymen and I'm not interested in yours, I've been putting up with daily, endless fucking shazamchud shitposting in ER threads for a year and a half
Oh so you're legitimately talking to yourself?
That's fucking insane bro
How the fuck do you get that out of what I said?
because you just melded into one person from two people
what happened to the other anon I was talking to that you were also talking to?
crazy bastard
I never said that both posts are coming from one person, anon. I can see when those replies were posted, in less than a minute. You are ok. The other (bottom) one is crazy.
Samefagging is almost exclusively done by the DS2 spammer, which I personally don't even think likes dark souls and only posts here for attention
what kind of sperg would claim religiously for a decade that DS2 is on a different engine knowing that's not true and only bringing it up to try and bump his threads?
he is definitely deliberately trolling, which is just a different form of mental illness when you do it on the same topic making the same threads for 10 years
Like I said, I don't even classify it as trolling
it's legitimate mental illness and he knows it
>best soundtrack
3 is the absolute nadir of the last decade's stringslop & choirrhea. Almost unlistenable, and entirely unmemorable.
>best aesthetic
See image
>Almost unlistenable
no
but I basically don't remember any music from 3 and ER
ER i remember the opening bombastic HWUOOOOOOO
3 I used to remember it but not anymore it's weird
like ER's one overwrote that memory
But basically, both were out of my mind super fast while I really enjoy a bunch of das1 and 2 tracks. 2 maybe less, but the menu theme was 10/10 and majula pretty good too.
ER has mostly pretty decent music but it's mixed really badly so you can barely hear it half the time. DS3's music is actively annoying
Elden ring's music is absolute trash just like everything else in the game
have a nice day fagwad
I do mainly on the grounds that ADP no longer exists in DaS2
and that's a good thing
Abyss watchers, Pontiff Sullyvan, Twin Princes and obviously Soul of Cinder osts are obviously series highlights and this is coming from someone who doesn't think DS3 is a very good game. OST and bosses are about the only thing that game got right.
it's another talking point of OP to shit on DS3's soundtrack because he knows it's the best, it's all to get people to reply to him
same thing with the "hurr durr color palette" "hurr durr different engine" etc
It must be really easy to feel correct when you can just dismiss any dissenting opinion as the shitposting of one obsessed boogeyman. DS3's soundtrack is terrible
It's not an opinion to say the sky is red OP, that's insanity.
You may like overly bombastic, blown out 400 voice choirs in every track but I got sick of them three games earlier. Or are you one of the smoothbrains who heard the three notes of Gwyn's theme at the end of the Soul of Cinder fight and started clapping and crying because you recognize the thing
>I got sick of the souls genre so DS3 is bad because it's the same as DS1 even though this entire thread I've been screeching that DS3 isn't like DS1
You're insane, you don't have opinions you have delusions. That's why you're still here after a decade making the same threads
You really can't read can you? I said DS3 does it the most, and it's something I've been tired of for multiple games, so yes DS3 has the most annoying soundtrack as a result. You have some serious brainrot going on dude
Yes everything you just posted was listed in my greentext of the previous post you insane gay
I didn't actually post your strawman exaggeration of my opinion anon, you made that up in your head you delusional freak
>if you point out how im an insane gay that talks to myself about videogames I win
oh yeah? how's that?

I don't know what you expect, Japanese game developers are only good at reiterations of previous games and not actually evolving them
this occurrence permeates through their entire culture by the way, so maybe you're just ignorant.
There's a difference between having insular references and making one the focal point of the entire climax of the game you clown. No one has ever complained about Fromsoft putting the moonlight sword and Patches in every game because they're unobtrusive and fun little callbacks, but making the fucking final boss of 3 just Gwyn 2 with a more EPIC version of his theme just screams "LOOK LOOK DO YOU REMEMBER THE THING, DO YOU REMEMBER IT"
Again you're compeltely ignoring that this is literally the best japan has to offer
Yes and it's far less egregious than current year Monster Hunter games literally using PS2 animations because it's part of the "brand," that doesn't make the Gwyn shit any less dumb
It's dumb and it's the BEST japan has to offer
so glad to see another non-weeb on here thats not fucking mindbroken by their neverending simping for everything japan does. japan has literally not made a good game since the early 2000s
Why are you even here then you fucking retard. Go play Horizon.
i dont like western AAA games either you idiotic gay.
name your good games then
so glad to see another retard that hates video games on Ganker. you are so special.
>hates video games
i love how you weebs are incapable of imagining someone playing something thats not your weebslop. you need to expand your horizons. you do know that there are more games out there than japanese games and western AAA slop, right? i really hope you aren't this much of a slave to moron cock that you just don't know about other games? is your life this insular?
you are trying way too hard to fit in
I mean I think everybody has to grow up eventually and realize that all japanese media is in a massive decline and has been for 20 years
consuming japanese media is now rated on "how shit is it compared to things that came before it"
that said the holes that exist in DS1 exist in DS3/elden ring and it all comes down to fromsoft being fundamentally bad at designing videogames
Tell us your favorite video games, go on.
I really liked DS3, I have over 1000 hours in it. That's why I can confidently say that fromsoft has never been especially good at designing videogames (yes I've played every single souls game)

no way... a sequel that ties in thematically with the previous game makes a callback ...
>a sequel that "ties in thematically" with a game that had a definitive ending and even the notion of a sequel is a complete retcon that obliterstes everything about the first game's themes and point
You're an idiot
I don't know why you still think I'm some rabid 2 shill after I've said multiple times I think it's the second worst one, but sure I'll bite. Meeting Nashandra was interesting, and spending the whole first half of the game being told "seek the king, find Vendrick, you need to meet the king" and when you finally get to him he's a completely hollowed out mindless zombie aimlessly wandering around a lonely dark room with spooky music was a pretty impactful moment. Can't really think of much else off the top of my head but 2 wasn't completely void of interest
>with a game that had a definitive ending
you're retarded
>dipshit thinks the sequel retcons were always part of the original story
Actual drooling retard, the entire fucking point of DaS1 is that all things inevitably end and you can only slightly prolong the inevitable. The notion of an endless cycle that repeats itself forever for no reason was invented in 2 and perpetuated by 3, it was never at any point part of 1's story
sure buddy whatever helps you sleep at night, don't forget to take a last look at majula before dying.
>MUH 2SCHIZOS
How fried is your brain, honestly?
How many years have your life have you spent here making threads for games nobody cares about and keeping them from archiving?
How damaged does your brain have to be to see someone explaining/defending the story of DS1 while also lambasting 2's retconning of it, and interpret that as "HE MUST BE A DS2chud, HE'S THE 2SCHIZO"
Nobody cares about the lore in these games, everybody kind of realized by 2 that the lore doesn't matter
Half of every game is MEMBER BERSERK?
Nobidy cares about the lore ANYMORE because 2 fucked it up and 3 turned it into even more garbled nonsense by trying to "fix" 2 while also pretending it never happened. Read your own post dude, "everybody kind of realized by 2 that the lore doesn't matter" because 2 completely retconned 1 and made everything interesting and impactful about it evaporate by introducing the notion that the world just repeats itself forever for no reason so nothing you did mattered anyway
The point of Blade Runner was Deckard coming to realize that even though life is fleeting it still has value, and sort of regaining his humanity as a result. Making him a replicant is meaningless at best and contradictory at worst because it means he never had any humanity to regain to begin with
Nobody cares about the lore because fromsoft has revealed that they never knew what they were doing with it
retroactively this makes everything you claim about DS1 being good a fluke
Once again, 1 was an insular, complete story when it came out which is why 2 and 3 had to retcon it, there was nowhere to logically go with it because the story was over. They had to make up nonsense about cycles and sin and the pus of man and angels and whatever other horseshit to cobble together an artificial extension of a story that had already ended. In a vacuum 1's story is fantastic, and is pretty clearly everything Miyazaki wanted to say about the setting, but unfortunately Fromsoft signed a contract for two more Dark Souls games
this is definitely true. i wish each dark souls was just their own universe and just sequels by name, but spiritual sequels by gameplay content kinda like demon's souls to dark souls 1.
They feel like they are each in their own universe since they all work by separate rules from each other, but because they're all called Dark Souls brainlets keep trying to fuse their incompatible logic together even though it doesn't work and 2 and 3 were contractually obligated and not part of the original idea for the setting
>DS1 is all by itself!
it's literally copy pasted demon's souls so I don't know how you can say that
(You)
Hello? The demon invasion and the world going to shit in demon's souls is literally the same thing in DS1, it's all ripped off "lore" from berserk.
The "demon invasion" in DaS came from the Witch of Izalith trying and failing to recreate the first flame resulting in an explosion of warped, bastardized life that was mostly contained by Gwyn centuries prior to the events of the game. The demon invasion in DeS is from an eldritch god that wants to consume all life and is sweeping over the entire planet via the colorless fog
>there were different characters!
same story
same lore from berserk
you're retarded, DS1 is not "original"
>le reductive retard post
have a nice day
>introducing the notion that the world just repeats itself forever for no reason
lol lmao
>humanity
Well I, for one, have no idea what this means. And I'm not baiting you.
The whole plot of the movie is that replicants came to Earth and they seek their creator so he can prolong their lives. That's all they want - to live (longer). Deckard was just doing his job, and Roy, who could've killed him, decided to spare him. Roy is significantly stronger, smarter, and overall ''better'' than Deckard, but he also showed him that he has something called compassion, which is something that Deckard did not show in the movie.
>but he spared Rachael
So he can fuck her.
Deckard is a jaded, bitter man whose career as a people hunter has left him cold and closed off to the world. He doesn't see replicants as people, but Roy being a more effective hunter than he is just serves the more important purpose of forcing Deckard to recognize the humanity present in replicants, as well as the fleeting impermanence of life
I mean you can complain about member berries, but at least DS3 had memorable story moments like this. What are the 3 most memorable story moments of DS2 from the base game?
Meanwhile in the west
Well, to be fair, every orchestra track with
>Oueeeeoooueeeaaaauuueee
''lyrics'' sound exactly the same, so it's no wonder if people can't recognise a track and/or say at what part of the game it plays.
>people can't recognize a track
yeah but somehow elden ring's elevator ambiance music track 32b is memorable? funny I've seen this exact talking point somewhere else...
It has been like this since Dark Souls 1 so I don't get this complaint
Look, it could be just me and my nitpicking. First track is always important. For example, you have a nice and calm track, it sounds like a fucking save room theme from Resident Evil:
...and there's this absolute horror that begs you to skip it to character creation (or uninstall) ASAP:
>incorrect shit
you're a fucking retard, DS3 runs on an entirely different engine
have a nice day
dark3shitters are the worst, dumbest fucking people on this planet
i dont like ds3 either you dumb fucking gay. i only like dark souls 1 and even that one is flawed as fuck. dark souls as a franchise was only intriguing for its concept and the hope that it would improve with each iteration but then then its all two steps forward, twelve steps backwards with every sequel. its a shitty fucking franchise and dark souls 2 and 3 are almost equally shit but 2 is absolutely the worst with its ugly fucking aesthetics, art style, lore and half life 1 tier graphics.
i don't give a shit about what you like you retarded fucking toddler brained scumbag
and that has to do with dark souls 2 engine in what way you fucking idiot
>and that has to do with dark souls 2 engine in what way you fucking idiot
Nothing, I guess. DS2 is the only Sousl game with nice shadows and colors, so it's the best one. DS2 haters can post those 3 saved screenshots from Forest of F.G., Shaded Woods, and Frigid Outskirts, but other than that they have nothing.
>DS2 is the only souls game with nice shadows and colors
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>DS3 runs on an entirely different engine
Yeah, Bloodborne's. Which runs on Dark Souls 1 engine.
DS3 ragebait falseflag, do not reply to this thread
Das2 has

>good hub
Das3 has

>endless roll spam
>fanservice
>drab boring hub
I dislike them both but I probably like 2 a bit more than 3.
Being contrarian is not a personality. The ONLY ones who prefer DS2 to the other two titles are PVP fags. If you aren't a PVP fag then it's just contrarianism.
OP doesn't play PVP, he walks around majula and masturbates
Why is it that dark souls 2 lives rent free in ds3trannies minds after nearly a decade?
its the opposite retard
