    Dungeon design is a big part of it. Was trying to play the new Star Ocean game, and the dungeons are literally straight hallways. There is no thought put into them whatsoever. Drives me fricking crazy how lazy dungeon designs can be. It's also something I really enjoyed about Persona 5, as well. The palaces were well thought out dungeons (besides the last mementos dungeon). I can appreciate that JRPGs put a lot of emphasis on the characters, but god damn can they ruin the whole thing with just braindead straight hallways.

    They're just regular-ass no-nonsense video games that came at a time where everything else has been tripping over itself to be as horrible as possible.

    They are result of very focused director-driven game design. You feel how every part is building to a whole. Modern AAA games are disjointed in that you can play side quests that feel loosely connected to anything and then you forget about them when you're done. Souls side quests contribute to the overall immersion and feel like an actual part of that world. The intriguing level design, sublime art work and difficulty also makes exploring a geniune treat.

      you forgot to mention the replayability and mystery these games have, you can play the games multiple times and completely miss areas, it took me 3 playthroughs to find the ash lake

          think of a game you love, a game you have played multiple times, a game you know like the back of your hand. now imagine if a completely new area appeared, one you had never seen and looked like nothing from before, that's how finding the ash lake was for me.

          why would I ruin the fun by searching it up online?

      there should be an online server for the emulator

      You can do all the World/Character Tendency stuff without even playing online, but there is also a private server that you can connect to with RPCS3. It's even got a feature where you can leave specific messages in the nexus to force World Tendency to pure white/black/neutral as desired.

    DS2 was made as a quick cash grab sequel and then they sold out pandering to casuals with DS3 then doubled down by going open world and attaching GRRM for Elden Ring.
    Only DeS and DS1 are good.

    The ps3 having no games meant Demon Souls was highly praised despite being a terrible game. These new fans latched on to the series and made Dark Souls 1 and 2 successful despite being shitty. Then Bloodborne happened and it was actually a decent game.
