Why is the DLC taking so fucking LONG?

>Sekiro
>Mediocre

You don't know anything about video games.

I'm 36, you know nothing about video games. Just go play your fortnite and watch your dbz

Calling a game of the year winner merely mediocre isn't remotely valid criticism.

I didn't read your post, you're not worth my time.

ts;dr

It was an improvement over DS2 and also it was complete ludo.
Don't be mistaken, I wish Sekiro has less checkpoint spam and some more interesting shortcuts and world design but it was still better than DS2.

I am also incredibly mad tha thalf of Raya Lucaria is optional so you can just skip the cool level design fuckery and the rooftop area with puppets, I loved that shit what the hell.
Also, Raya Lucaria is an academy, why is the first 40% of it a fucking graveyard lmao I don't get why Fromsoft does that sometimes, some of the most hyped up areas are overshadowed by weird shit, in Bloodborne it's less egregious but I'd rather had a bigger Byrgenwerth building than such a big forest area prior to it, priorities Miyazaki, please...

Checkpoints in the outer world are funny. I can literally SEE another grace from one in Limgrave.

>Incentivizes aggression
Oh no the microsecond I had to attack didn't stagger it time to lose all my health to the 5 billion attack stun lock!!!

Yes, it's the same as regular ones, but you don't need to change anything to make this piece of shit a boss.

>DS2 has some reused bosses from DS1
/v/: wowed nice variety B team!!!
>Every boss and location in DS3 is reused from DS1
>Elden Ring is the same copy and pasted enemies and bosses throughout the whole game
/v/: Absolute masterpieces

>Shart Souls 2 morons get filtered by this

>>Dex
you didn't play the game

it's defeated by basic movement countering all its charged attacks, which is why it filters DS2 rollspam cretins and normalfags that think Souls games are stamina management games

>time to lose all my health to the 5 billion attack stun lock!!!
Just do it back.

I prefer Scholar but it seems to be pretty mixed among fans of the game.
I would say to play the original first and then try scholar since it's definitely the harder of the two and knowing what you're doing before jumping in will definitely help with some of the more bullshit enemy placements.

DaS2 has a lot of options which is nice but the way the movement and animations work make it feel pretty strange compared to all the others, everything feels sort of floaty and sluggish like you're fighting underwater. DaS1 combat is slow too but it still feels a lot more tightly screwed

Infinite lifegems on top of the like 14 other healing items you can find sort of remove any tension or stakes from a lot of the combat for me, I like DaS2 for other reasons but personally I thought the combat really only starts to shine with some of the tougher enemies and bosses like drakekeepers or the DLC bosses

Part of what made DaS1's level design so good was that you really only have estus to heal with, you can use humanity too but that's a precious resource that's better used for other things. With this in mind they were able to design levels around the idea that player only has 5-10 heals, which helps a lot with the pacing of each area and checkpoint spacing. I don't think DaS2 is bad by any means but being able to have 99 of multiple different types of healing items mean a lot of levels are designed to just throw crowds of enemies at you willy nilly without as much thought put into pacing or progression since you can effectively heal as many times as you want

yeah the lifegems kinda made the actual levels less dangerous thats true, but I was more talking about how absolutely fucked slow the animation for healing is and how slowly it heals so you can't just facechug shit like in later games, which is one of my biggest complaints about them since it forces bosses to be MUCH more aggressive and hyperactive which fucks with the pacing of the combat, and I enjoyed the slow pacing of souls games

They are Miquella's parents so they could be expanded upon

It ruined it because by the end of DaS1 the story was over. There was nothing left to expand on or explain aside from a few small things that the sequels never address anyway, like Velka's whole deal or the motivations of Kaathe and Frampt. Instead 2 invented the notion of le endless eternally repeating cycle and had its own entire game's worth of lore completely unrelated to the first game, and 3 sort of tried to fix 2 while also pretending it didn't exist, and also adding in a bunch of its own complete nonsense about "angels" and shit and some singularity the world is building toward. None of any of this even existed as ideas when DaS1 came out

I thought Sekiro and AC VI were le zoomer cashgrab tho?????? Ganker told me that!!!

AC6 likely outsold DS3

dude this comes from DS1
the undead curse was made by Gwyn he linked humanity to the First Flame and then asked Nito to create the Dark Sign

Sekiro is the normie cashgrab though.

>Sekiro has the most heart and soul out of any of their games
debatable

It is definitely debatable. Sekiro is held back by having to be “soulslike” at all when it could have been its own thing with its story entirely upfront. I agree it’s probably the best “soulslike” though, however I liked ER a lot

stfu gay

Bloodborne is the best soulsborne objectively, regardless of how you feel in life or some gay shit

Bloodbornefags literally cannot stop being gays because Bloodborne was their intro to “”Lovecraftian” anything and think Fromsoft are some kind of masters of eldritch horror
>babby's first [blank]
situation

I absolutely love Elden ring but I can still see how Bloodborne might be a lot of people’s favorite fromsoft game still. The atmosphere combined with the insanely cool weapons and armor and truly nightmarish environments is too good. Dark souls is good for same reasons but there’s something about Bloodborne that makes it so much more awesome.

Bro this is Ganker, obviously I am not prejudiced enough to jusge Lovecraft when I haven't ever read a book of his, I sad "gayass" for comedic effect, same reason I say gay or moron for comedic effect, this is Ganker.

Also Bloodborne made vampires and werewolves badass have a nice day.

Dark Souls and Elden Ring are medieval deviant art shit and Sekiro is Japan Sengoku deviantart shit too then you little gay ethiopian child?

Correct, glad we’ve come to this understanding.
but really at least 50% of Bloodborne is visually dull gay bullshit and it’s probably my least favorite Soulshit game because it wasn’t babby’s first Lovecraft reference for me

>Inb4 some gay rainbow fan fag comes here and complains about le "too dark and gray 4 me" shit

When did the meme about movies and games needing to have every color within possibility come to life? Don't get me wrong, certain games in the 2000s sinned of looking muddy and dark all the fucking time for no reasonm, but I also see this criticism for many games that don't deserve it at all. And just because a game happens at night and is very dark doesn't mean it's bad, and I say this knowing that Bloodborne doesn't even have that to deal with.

every Fromsoft fan has that game they dislike for some reason don't they, every single person I've talked to or seen play something From made, they are like "yeah every game is a banger but DS3", "I love From games but Sekiro parrying is gay and I didn't care for the world", "Elden Ring just lacks something the other games have, no sovl", yada yada.

half the things you say sound "intelligent" but make absolutely no sense. why would that explain their dislike for one particular game of the series?

I like em all. except the demon souls demake but thats not fromsoft and goes without saying.

>Maybe a lot of the game is just superficial
I unironically think you've been filtered

LMAO 500 hours to decide you dont like a game? theres nothing more to say to you anon, you already lose by living in the mental hell you create for yourself.

the entirety of the events of the game, from the perspective of the great ones, is motivated by their desire to procreate and their inability to produce viable offspring. that's what happened with them and Queen Yharnam and the pthumerians and that's, again, their motivation during your playthrough. the second the eldrith horrors descend on Yharnam they start getting all available women pregnant. the dlc tells the story of Kos, a great one that washed ashore carrying a child which was forcibly taken from the insides of her mother by the hunters to experiment on him. the hunter's curse is Kos' revenge for this affront. in the true ending the player is reborn as an old one after consuming three eldritch umbilical cords, thus effectively bypassing the limitations of normal procreation and bruteforcing humanity's next evolutionary step
if all you got out of Bloodborne's plot and lore is lol blood lol monsters then you were quite literally filtered, no other way to describe it

they are THE main theme of the game if you go past the superficial

>how dare these plebs not enjoy lel epic goth buildings and statues
>*tips top hat*
Gay

Whatever ESL, I bet you own graphic tees with
>da huntah must hunt
on it like a real social reject

Says the ESL animal squealing at me because I don’t like its gay little werewolf game as much as it. Bloodbornefags are the only consistently embarrassing soulshit fans for certain and I should probably start calling you Bloodbornemorons considering the behavioral problems you all have.

Sounds like a projection, ESL sperg. Again, Bloodbornemorons are the only consistently embarrassing soulshit fans and it’s for posts like yours which I am screencapping for posterity right now.

>no see the punchline is the whole game! It’s obviously too deep for you
Delusional. This is why there’s rabbit furfag trannies demaking this one. Something about Bloodborne attracts the lowest common denominator of “human” life.

>YOU LOSE YOU LOSE!!!!AAAAAAAAAAHHHH
Embarrassing, furfag chud ESL

>AHHHH AHHH AHHHH!!
Retarded ESL tranimal

the theme is obvious to everyone with half a brain that finishes the game. there's tons of references to reproductive organs, birth, abortion and menstrual cycles. practically all the lore notes after Byrgenwerth (so, after the veil falls and the great ones are revealed) speak of newborns and children. the most visible since it's placed next to a necessary, unmissable key item literally states that "when the Great Ones descend, a womb will be blessed with child." this isn't some obscured facet of the lore, you're just fucking retarded.

>You’re a retard because you refuse to buy into my delusion where my beloved themes aren’t just the tail end of the game!!
Retarded pseud tranimal. Certainly doing nothing to elevate my opinion of babby’s first Lovecraft reference fest

The only one pretending to be intelligent here is you, pseud. Bloodborne simply isn’t as intricate and deep and you’d like to believe. Maybe pick up a book.

You’re a transgender in denial
You know it to be true
Last on that m’am

>NO U
Is that REALLY your final cope, ESL tranimal? Bloodbornemorons are demonstrably more gay, trans, and furry.

Nothing you’ve said to me ITT is new information, and I barely skimmed your angry info dumps. This entire rant of yours was a pathetic cope over Bloodborne being not derivative over
>muh themes of birth and motherhood
even though making this retarded argument is reductive of all the pacing and build-up of information the game gives you over time. Bloodbornemorons are truly determined to be looked down upon.

>Bloodborne took Lovecraft themes therefore is derivative therefore is mediocre.

Bloodborne has to be the best Lovecraft themed thing thats not made by Lovecraft, every other game, show, or movie is lame in comparison. I dont get this vendetta you have against Bloodborne, ESL, or transgender individuals, everyone else agrees Bloodborne is great why so hellbent on belittling it? The 30 fps cap?

You already have gyno
Might as well get on E

You’re a transgender in denial
You know it to be true
Last on that m’am

Bloodbornemorons did by souring my opinion of a game I originally thought was alright after years of embarrassing behavior online and off

The content of this thread disproves that, not to mention every Bloodbornemoron Ive had the misfortune of tolerating IRL

What was he cooking?

>You can't actually kill the Great Ones
>They just go to sleep in the Tomb of the Gods
>Most people complain about muh reused bosses

wish Bloodborne was on PC too so we had cool mods that make the beasts into furries and the Yharnamites wear cat ears and shit, representing the slippery slope into degeneracy rather than the beastly scourge, truly poetic.

Whatever cope you’d like to utilize here, furfag. Most of the beasts in Bloodborne are pathetic mooks who run from you.

I definitely can, maybe you just hate yourself
Captcha
>DSPANT

I think that goes for all fans of specific Fromsoft titles tbh senpai

Not even remotely debatable. Except for maybe dark souls the first.

I respect Sekiro enjoyers
but Bloodborne still is the best From game and with the most SOVL

I hear Goku has a new form, you should go run and check that out

>2's lore is completly fine
>bro fat incel becomes demon because... he just does
>Hollowing is like Joe Biden's dementia, not soul starved being seeking souls

Nah it was really simple and tied to its strict metaphysics. You died too much and the Darksign would consume your humanity due to humanity rekindling your soul. State of mind and purpose were little more than placebo effects, which is why humans weren't the only one becoming soulless in the first place.
Then Dark Cringe 2 tried to get all artsy about it with its muh depression 2deep4u bullcrap, even missing the point of how the Curse started, which was Gwyn linking humans to the Fire in order to use their humanity as fuel. Dark Souls 2 destroyed the series lore, and the reason 3 was rushed as fuck and Llyod, Velka, and more lore elements had to be rushed or cut is exactly due to irreparable damage of 2. It's exactly what Mass Effect 2 did to the overarching story of Mass Effect
The game even butchered the concepts of Chaos and Abyss and constantly uses those terms and their spawn in wrong ways and contexts. I also find hilarious how most of its plot is centered around Dragons yet it's just a gay fanfic recycling the concept of Priscilla with Crossbreed Firekeepers, and Nameless King and his rule ended up as a leftover optional miniboss.

lol do you really have a problem with that existing?

Dude was descended from Izalith's people in part, and that enabled him to be afflicted by their mutation. There, you have a reasonable answer. He wasn't full blooded human and was part Izalith.

So the witches just never had sex with any humans ever? Unlikely.

I don't think DS3 shys away from DS2 at all, and if Miyazaki made a deal for 3 games, then I don't think DS3 did a bad job expanding it, cause at the end of the day that's why they forced DS2 isn't it?

It's an asspull that has less than nothing to do with the establoshed setting

Oh shut up you big fucking baby

You didn't make an argument retard, you just had a little spergout

There were already 10 Megaman games before you were fucking born you pearl clutching freak, do you really think zoomers invented sequels?

>but ended up with barebone things from each of said category
There's no need to shitpost about something you haven't played.

This is a really dumb argument bud

It really isn't, saying it's not a problem for there to be more than one of a type of monster is not the same as saying one of the most important and distinct characters in the story can be copypasted. You're comparing apples to oranges

>Hoarah Loax is a person,
Yeah well Lorah Houx is a different person. Just a human after all, just like how Astel is just a cosmic beast that happens to have a 1:1 copy elsewhere.
Do you see why it's still lame even though it's not a lore contradiction?

There isn't just one Astel lorewise but the game already made a goob job conveying the fallingstar beast epidemic, Astel felt special, he destroyed an eternal city, and he was right at the end of a huge underground adventure, seeing again a full grown malformed star on a random cave feels fucking lame still and there's no way around it, most people who play these games don't know much of the lore the first time through so even if it might make sense it's still lame and anticlimctic, also, even if you know the lore, many people might think that Astel was a special case, a specially dangerous malformed star that leveled an eternal city, having a copy that's more pwerful on a random cave takes away from that feeling.

Also, THEY make the lore, so it's not an excuse, just give some BS tidbit about how getting to Astel level threat takes really long and is very rare or some shit, or just let us assume that.

So four separate stages isn't enough? That's "lazy" to you?

You don't seem very smart, you've already seen multiple other fallingstars at various stages of evolution by the time you ever see either Astel, and for some reason it's unacceptable that there's more than one? They're literally alien invaders attacking the land, of course there's more than one

I’m not counting and it might but I think people’s issue is with their placement and utilization. Previous games weren’t open world so there was a lot of linear progression, at least comparatively, so when you do progress in those games and see new enemies it makes the game feel more “filled out” vs. running into giant dogs and crows again in the mountains like that anon is critical of.
However if that anon is cool with the end of Bloodborne, for example, I’d throw their entire argument out because adding eyes to pigs and switching heads around did not make an interesting end game.

Not a contribution to discussion, faglord

This image jus tmad eme think of something...
Anyone else get the feeling that in ER all the buildings are slightly more scaled down than they should be? They don't feel like actual houses, the entrances also feel way too small, specially considering the player is supposed to be a manlet compared to most other people, when you go into Stormveil, it feels like a huge catle made for an entire army to defend, when you enter Leyndell... the buildings are uncannily small, so much that it doesn't feel like house of the Royalty at all, same happens in Sellia, and the same happens in Liturgia. The buildings should be like... 20% bigger or something, to feel right.
