      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.

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 israeli film industry.

        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.

      >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 fricking 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

    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

      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

              Black person, DS2 is about "curing the curse" and being the "next monarch".
              What in a french fried tittyfrick 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 FRICKING 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.

                >their ''ghost''
                It was a moronic 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.

    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.

        Blows my fricking 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

        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 fricking garbage and if you think its good you're a fricking 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

        who end up thinking the game is fricking 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.

        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.

    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

                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.

              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.

                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.

                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?

          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.

                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 morons locked in an eternal slapfight over them as though either of them are anything more than alright is an endless source of comedy

                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?

                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

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

                Nobidy cares about the lore ANYMORE because 2 fricked 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

                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).

                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

                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

                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

                >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 frick 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?

        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.

          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 fricking save room theme from Resident Evil:

            ...and there's this absolute horror that begs you to skip it to character creation (or uninstall) ASAP:

      i dont like ds3 either you dumb fricking homosexual. i only like dark souls 1 and even that one is flawed as frick. 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 fricking franchise and dark souls 2 and 3 are almost equally shit but 2 is absolutely the worst with its ugly fricking aesthetics, art style, lore and half life 1 tier graphics.

          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.

    Being contrarian is not a personality. The ONLY ones who prefer DS2 to the other two titles are PVP gays. If you aren't a PVP gay then it's just contrarianism.
