    Dark Souls 3 was the peak but also the end

    I remember liking Demon's Souls. Dark Souls was more about the co-op and general fun talking about it. I later found the most fun in terms of the game mechanics itself in unique invading builds. Bloodborne was the one I truly consider to be a great game. Haven't played Elden Ring, can't even recall finishing Dark Souls III.
    I'd sure hate if they didn't exist. Even if they stumble, there's more going on in most of their productions than anywhere else.

      It has really archaic, and Japanese, design to it. Science has documented since 1985 that motivation (more recently, e.g., lasting / playability) is about immersing the player in reasonable limits and experiences. DaS is fun, but it really needs persistent, open world multiplayer, crafting depth (lots of variety, different playstyles, and really interactive, fun gameplay, e.g., CoD: AW mobility, which is some of the best in the industry) and a market.

          I look forward to seeing what specifically filtered him. I remember one "content creator" said the game was unbalanced because its impossible to fight that giant that drops down in limgrave while the archers shoot at you. He specifically said that it was unfair and there was no way to use strategy to overcome the challenge and you had to run past on the horse. In his video clip he showed himself running straight into the giant while 6 guys are shooting at him, then he eats shit and dies, like "see proof its too hard!".
          Meanwhile an actual strategy would be to ignore the big slow melee enemy and pick off the archers first, this is the sort of strategy i would expect a 9 year old to figure out, but a games journalist adult who makes content giving his opinion on game difficulty cant do it and blames the game.

            It's honestly pathetic how you guys genuinely believe that the only way people could hate these games is because they found it too difficult when they're not even hard and 99% of players just cheese them because the balance is almost always abysmal and you have to ignore most of the mechanics of the game to even need to engage with the bosses at all in the majority of games in the series

              That sucks ass but if you cripple yourself for no real reason, the bosses are somehow well designed for the most part. It really kills the bragging rights this game could have given but eh, still fun to play once certain criteria are met

              The game is as difficult as you want it to be. There are easy mode options like using summons that can 1v1 the boss for you, or running by everything on your horse.

              If you ran by everything on the horse and used the OP summons, and you didnt like the game, you got filtered. Whether you beat it or not. The game is an RPG where you choose your build and style, it may be more game mechanics based but you still are expected to choose a way to play. The people who think it is some difficult impossible game and that they need to grind or use the OP items to figure out a way to win are only meeting the bare minimum of the games skill floor which is actually pretty low by design. And thats totally fine if that is what they enjoy, but to do that then say the game was too boring or easy is just silly.

                Pure cope. The game is easy because the balance is terrible. You should not need to ignore half the mechanics of the game, multiple attack types (bleed, freeze), dozens of weapons and completely reasonable builds just so the game design doesn't collapse in on itself.

                There are loads of shitty badly designed games you can pretend are fine if you just handicap yourself so the shitty parts don't exist.

      It worked for Fallout New Vegas apparently. From what was once one of Ganker's favorite game and now people here are calling it a troony game for some reason thanks to that one guy spamming the shit.

    They're still good, but the formula is beginning to go stale - especially after Elden Ring.

    The next game needs to introduce actual interactive towns, interactive npcs that don't just stand around idle at a hub zone, lore that isn't about some kingdom or nation on the decline, co-op or multiplayer that isn't complete dogshit, or gameplay that isn't just entirely combat-based.

    All in all, it's time to take risks in other directions besides throwing the same core game into a fresh new setting with minimal improvements. Sekiro was the right direction in this regard.

      Frick off, no it doesn't. Go play fricking Skyrim if that's what you want, stop trying to change games to be like other games because you don't like them

        But it IS beginning to go stale.
        Either they experiment and change things up in a moderately big way or they slow down on their release schedule.

          According to you. I'm not tired of it at all, and your idea of "experimentation" is literally just "make it more like Skyrim"

          That's why they're making Armored Core 6

    Every soul game is fantastic and only trannies who hate games deny it. why? because they are actual fricking videogames.
    Not movies, no escort missions, no characters walking slowly while they listen to someone else talk. You actually play the fricking game.
    There isn't a single argument about why these games are bad.
    Go ahead try it, but you will just use buzzwords maybe you have some genuine nitpicks but can't say anything about these games being actually BAD
    The one moronic argument is people saying you can press one button to dodge, wow guess what? there's lots of games that have one button to do X thing and avoid dying, it's all about timing.
