Because it's the most overtly Christian game in the series.
You're all wrong.
It's because it has no PC port.
>PC troony thinks its relevant
lol
It was the answer to the question but go on and be weird about it. Bloodborne also gets very little conversation, just the odd mention in Ringkiro threads.
moronic answer to the question sure
This. If it's not on Steam, then it doesn't matter. Period.
Bloodborne is also not on PC but way more popular and well known.
While there's no official PC port, I've seen plenty of people that just emulate it on their PC. I would actually like a solid PC port, but I think there's some legal shenanigans with Sony.
>legal shenanigans
Well, they own the IP. Demon's Souls Remake is probably coming to PC at some point, it was in the Nvidia leak.
But that's worthless, the point of a PC port is being able to use KBM.
>inb4
Not preferring a mouse in games with camera control is ultra moronic
>abandoning mega smooth 360 degree variable speed movement just so that you can... look around faster
can't tell if bait
I GUESS speed controls are cool, but ultimately useless as you only need slow and fast and not the middle. So on KBM you just press alt.
>so that you can... look around faster
Yes. It's a third person video game. Looking around is a huge part of your gameplay, as is the case in FPS games. Sacrificing your ability to look around for something that can be done with WASD+alt key is dumb, imo
You can't do something like an 11 o'clock roll on WASD, Alt key or not. It's not a shooter lmao, KB+M just doesn't make sense here.
Well I play souls games on kbm and feel comfortable with it just like any other third person game and I play well or at least I finish the games and beat bosses with no issue. Because as a PC gamer I've had 20 years of training with kbm, duh.
(The kbm stuff applies to MGS4 too. God I want a PC port of it.)
Anyway my point really was that KBM is the most significant thing about a PC port.
it's literally on pc lmao
It's crazy how the PS3 gen was the "HD" generation yet most of the game actually ran at sub 720p internally. I remember reading that most games actually ran at 960×540
>It's crazy how the PS3 gen was the "HD" generation yet most of the game actually ran at sub 720p internally. I remember reading that most games actually ran at 960×540
Demon's Souls ran at 1280x720 and Dark Souls ran at 1024x720.
PS3 failed to overtake the Xbox because while it did have the Cell, it did also have terrible design process.
>GPU is bottlenecked
>Cell is not in a position where it can rasterize to put off GPU load
>Its not that well done in the CPU/Cell/GPU pipeline
>Devkit and documentation was bad, which meant that early adapters would never be able to figure out how to use it to replace PhysX
>Turns out devs are lazy fricks who uses engine published optimizations to do everything
>Turns out having a SPU unit was a bad decision when the Cell could have done that(they even had a shitty PR tech dem for it)
What a Cell game would have been compared to a Xbox game, if devs had used it properly would be like
>Better LOD by using CELL for it
>Physics calculation on the CELL
>Some form of FXAA and a scaler still done on the CELL(this happened)
>Particle calculation to CELL
Even then, the "big problem" is the GPU bottleneck. Then again, the Xbox was bad at that too, just not horrible.
PS3's CELL was a horrid CPU to develop for.
PS4 and PS5 are AMD PCs derived from the AMD Jaguar as was the case with the PS4 and Zen 2 with the PS5.
Haha. Wouldn't it be crazy if two generations later, games still ran at sub-720p?
>Open Helldivers 2 options
>upscaling from sub-native resolution is now called "Ultra Quality"
It all comes tumbling down
this. Dark Souls was the first Souls game to be accessible to pretty much everyone.
Including the part where God is actually a soul-devouring demon?
>"God is merciful, and so...created the old one"
The rare time when the "God is le evil" trope of Japanese games seemed to have been subverted, at least partially. God is not depicted as the evil demon, but rather created a force of nature to erase the world every few thousand(?) years. Of course, this goes against His promise after the Great Flood in reality, but these are games made by degenerate, Godless japs so you take what you can get.
You didn't pay attention to the story
The soul-devouring demon would have had no power if humans did not use soul arts and King Allant made a deal with it to gain wealth and power. God is not evil for creating the devil, but the devil can overcome man if he gives in to temptation. This is interwoven into the story/lore of Demon's Souls.
The only Christian game made by Miyazaki is Elden Ring. The Eternal Cities are literally Sodom and Gomorrah
Mental illness
All Miyazaki games are as anti religion as they can possibly get
cope lol
Actual mental illness
>faith is the strongest stat in every game
>anti religion
Not true in a fully patched DeS2, not by a long shot.
Not in 3 or 2 unless you count hexes for 2
I, for one, do.
farming for grass is probably my one major quibble with it. can't believe they brought that back for Bloodborne
I kind of doubt that's the reason, anon
That's Elden Ring though, literally God giving Life from aether and free will to his followers. It's literally Christianity and God is seen as a positive entity, but also capable of punishing sinners like in the Old Testment
Weird that the vantage point is higher than Altus, but it's really nice art. I wish we could get a distant view like that in-game.
>literally God
Some fricking eldritch demon entity in a pantheon of eldritch demon entities
moron schizo spotted
clueless soulless npc spotted
Vaati doesn't care about it, same reason no one plays DS2.
No one actually played it. Most "souls fans" are just trend chasing NPCs.
not as good as dark souls
Emulation filters the avg nignogski
PS3 emulation is a shitshow, thanks in no small part to DA CELL
Demon's Souls emulation works fine these days, and if you're lucky you can even find some online players through the archstones server
That's cool but it's still a big filter.
rpcs3 works incredibly well now. they even got the ps3 ui working
RPSC3 runs more than fine if you have a PC built within 10 years.
cause all but two boss fights are shitty gimmick fights
and there are only 3 builds: big thing, fast thing and magic
this makes it basically a 1 playthrough game 2 if you're determined to see every single thing
Stuck on ps3 so no one has played it
its free on PS5 if you have ps plus and the gameplay is complete garbage.
Demon's Souls emulation has better 60FPS support than Dark Souls PTDE with dsfix
tendency system is bad
game is more punishing, controls are slower and rolling is clunky. animation blend timing is way, way less aggressive than every other game in the series so everything you do feels laggier
>controls are slower
What do you mean by this? The delay?
>animation blend timing is way, way less aggressive than every other game in the series so everything you do feels laggier
I suppose this could be seen as clunky if coming from Bloodborne, DS3 or ER, but its about on part with DaS, depending on attacks within the same weapon class even, and ahead of DS2.
So I guess yeah you're right, since most people started with those later games, but DeS and DaS still feel plenty responsive to me.
In every way. Animations are slower compared to those of enemies, there is more lag when pressing buttons, you have smaller windows in which you can change what you are doing with committing to animations, etc etc etc
they reduced all these times in DaS which is why DaS took off and DeS never did, imo. other than it's just a better game also.
I think DaS took off over DeS purely because it got released on PC.
The differences between DeS and DaS controls are so miniscule only people who are hardcore fans would notice.
>I think DaS took off over DeS purely because it got released on PC.
well that is objectively wrong becuase demons souls sold 1.5 million copies in like 12 years and dark souls sold 7 million copies in 2 years
Where are you getting these numbers
>DaS took off and DeS never did
The only reason Dark Souls even got made is because Demon's Souls garnered a cult following that spread out of Japan into the West.
all the animations are slower and all the enemies are slower. many encounters all you have to do is block and then attack. many of the bosses can get looped into a slow attack animation where you just go in attack and then go out as it repeats the loop like the tower knight. many bosses just suck outright like the leech boss and the boss with a sword in its belly.
demon's souls feels so much better to play than ds1 its not even funny
The game is a 1:1 remake of a game I already played on a console with no other interesting titles for a price I instead upgraded my GPU and enjoyed cutting edge graphics on ten games instead of three.
Because the enemies aren't all Artorias on crack and the OST isn't just a loud obnoxious orchestra giving you a headache so the zoomies hate it.
the demon's souls OST sucks. you remember it differently than how it actually sounds. a lot of the tracks are basically fart tubas and rumbling.
>fart tubas and rumbling.
?si=RwCw52IdOGHGVoZS
And it's ludo. Imagine fighting this fat unsettling monster with some garbage generic tune from DaS3 or ER.
I cannot remember any of the music from DS3 or Elden Ring, but Demon's Souls and Bloodborne have the most memorable songs to me.
I miss songs using weird instruments like fart tubas, everything is so generic now.
what if I told you I'm making a game where....you...are the instrument
Your point being?
>nooo it's not generic and forgettable enough, where's my epic droning choir
my point is that the soundtrack is ambience not music
>first-tier logical fallacy
you kids are honestly getting dumber every day. you rely on A->B = !A->!B
which people older than you realize isn't true. your thinking is like that of a Black person.
And this is bad why?
I said the soundtrack sucks, not every individual track
do you have a personality? it seems like an entire generation of you just want to harry everyone online about everything they say. it's so boring
>UHHHHH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BEST TRACK ON THE SOUNDTRACK WHAT ABOUT THAT HUH???
yes what about it, most of the soundtrack is fricking fart tuba, like I said. if I presented five tracks you wouldn't be able to name which one is which, but you like to spray out these useless disingenuous arguments because it's all you are capable of doing in your entire life
(You)
I ask you why and you reply with a wall of impotent fictitious screeching.
Open your book of logical fallacies again, mongoloid.
you're not making your argument
people remember astraea, that's it. i'm sure you feel very passionately about this, which is fine, but you're wrong
don't insult me because you're wrong
>my point is that the soundtrack is ambience not music
>And this is bad why?
I'm not a fan of conversations where I have to handhold the other person through every sentence. Please stop being moronic.
we aren't in a conversation, you're pasting a bunch of youtube links while thinking you're interacting with me
nothing you've said or posted contradicts what I said. You are incapable of making the argument, because it's not true
people do not look back on or remember demon's souls soundtrack. you are doing this as some kind of "i'm so hardcore" thing because you have nothing else
I don't care about you at all, do you understand? You are boring, dude. grow a personality. i'm so tired of you people here.
I don't agree with the premise of your argument. I'm giving you the opportunity to explain why you think you're right, but instead you're just venting about personal grievances no one cares about and yelling at imagined strawmen.
>I'm giving you the opportunity to explain why you think you're right, but instead
I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HAVING THIS DISCUSSION WITH YOU. DON'T YOU GET IT?
You are SO USED to this fricking terminally online, endless-argument, USELESS behavior that goes nowhere, spinning your fricking wheels on Ganker for eternity trying to have piddly ass, useless fricking arguments
don't even fricking approach me like you listen to music I will SHAME you rofl
>I came to this thread to be alone
I don't come to talk to fricking boring people who try to create meaningless arguments over premises they can't dispute
you are boring dude, don't you get it? you don't have interesting thoughts
i can talk about fricking hundreds of subjects in death, I used to read the encyclopedia as a child, I've read thousands of books, I read random science and shit all the time. I'm highly educated, I play instruments and compose music
here's what you do. you do this
You come here to imagine the lives of the people you're replying to as something beneath you and make long posts about how little you care about them. You must be the only real human on earth.
Anyway, I think your premise that most of the Demon's Souls soundtrack is nothing but forgettable fart trumpets has been thoroughly destroyed by now.
Wrong link
You are an odd fellow.
Judging by the spacing it's a redditor that escaped containment.
I assume the raging instead of simply leaving the thread is his substitute for downvoting.
>muh pl*bbit bogeyman
Downboated.
>habitual ugly double spacing between each line
>is enraged when its post gets engaged with instead of simply getting rated up or down to determine how closely it aligns with the values of the collective
More than a reasonable assumption to make.
"Reddit spacing" is such a schizo thing to notice. It's been present since literally the first days of Ganker, there's been plenty of times people went to the archives and demonstrated as much. I don't even get why this would have anything to do with reddit. It's just a stylistic difference between different people.
this post glows
Yes, yes, you caught me, I work for the FBI and am here to protect reddit transplants' cover. Now shoo, back to your containment board: >>>/x/
Reddit requires pressing enter twice to create a new line.
It's one thing to use it for aesthetic and readability reasons.
it's another
to do
this
Why wouldn't you have a linebreak between larger paragraphs? It improves readability even further. Also, again, there are plenty of examples of anons doing even the more moronic version of having empty lines between individual sentences from before pl*bbit even existed.
I literally just said, it's one thing to use it to separate larger paragraphs.
It's another to use it between every new line.
As I am currently demonstrating.
Once more for your slow ass: That kind of typing predates pl*bbit on Ganker.
There are far more surefire ways to spot 'em (e.g. moral grandstanding when seeing others being called Black person/homosexual/troony and the like, failure to use slang appropriately, conformist opinions and so on).
You'll notice I never denied that it you read my posts.
You'll also notice I never used it as my sole reasoning for assuming he is on a visit from reddit.
Last reply: The point is that it's a bizarre purity test to apply given that this kind of behavior was around here before pl*bbit even existed. Like insinuating that if someone says they liked FO:V they must be a troony because trannies, for whatever reason, decided years later that it's "their" game, despite the fact that the game came out when trannies were an exotic oddity that people didn't even conceive of as such (see transvestite jokes in movies), let alone allow public acknowledgement.
least deranged Snoy. Imagine shitting on a PS classic and defending its soulless demake because the original is being emulated on PC.
jej
holy shit you btfo'd that guy hard. Lmao.
>do you have a personality? it seems like an entire generation of you just want to harry everyone online about everything they say. it's so boring
So fricking true. Zoom zooms are the worst.
correct and good posts
>he doesn’t like HA HAHA HA HA
>the demon's souls OST sucks.
You fricking Black person
Omg they made music specially to suit the atmosphere? I’m going insaaaane!
It's Wim Mertensian you pleb.
speak for yourself, gay. i loved demon's souls. it's a top 3 game in the series behind bloodborne and dark souls.
>it's a top 3 game in the series behind bloodborne and dark souls.
this isn't really meaningful though, it's so boring to pick top 3s out of like 6 similar games. rofl
they're all the same shit. you loved demon's souls but you also spent less time playing it than the others probably
The world tendency shit was needlessly obscure and it didn't have the kino interconnected exploration
But it's a great game all the same and I remember it as fondly as Dark Souls
i dont know anyone who had a ps3. everyone had one of those shitty x boxes instead. more people played dark souls cause its on more platforms.
>i dont know anyone who had a ps3. everyone had one of those shitty x boxes instead. more people played dark souls cause its on more platforms.
This.
Dark Souls was only successful because it released on Xbox 360/Windows.
?si=s4UtTbvrvBsr97hG
>the very first song in the series is still unsurpassed
Dark Souls character creator theme is better
>Why isn't Demon's Souls remembered as fondly as other Souls games?
Stuck on PS3.
Dark Souls was released on PS3, Xbox 360, Windows, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Steam, etc
It's my favorite. I've replayed it the most.
>Demon's Souls
>Dark Souls
>Bloodborne
>Dark Souls 3
>Sekiro
>Elden Ring
Miyazaki has come a long way
no he hasn't. it's the same fricking game.
And it's good every time baybee
The timeline is:
>DeS releases and is a pretty good PS3 exclusive
>DS1 releases and is a multiplat so people actually play this once
>DS2 releases and is bought by everyone because they heard Dark Souls was good and this one has an actually good PC port
>Bloodborne releases and everyone who owns a PS4 plays it
>Everyone who didn't already play DS2 buys SotFS
>DS3 releases and everyone in the world has heard about FromSoft now so they buy it
>FromSoft is known by everyone in the galaxy now so they all buy Elden Ring
>Everyone who started playing these games after like 2015 now hates the old ones because they're too slow and punishing and boring compared to what they're used to
its not popular anymore cause modern audiences like the flashy anime bullshit that plagued DSIII and Elden Dong
And this is based on what?
if you don't agree with the widely accepted premise then frick off from the conversation
everyone in the thread agrees, but you're stumbling in with "UHH DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE"
>Sony went to Fromsoftware after Oblivion was announced as an Xbox timed exclusive and asked them to make a first person/third person high fantasy RPG like Oblivion. It was only AFTER Miyazaki took over a few years in that the Demon's Souls you know started to take shape.
>Yoshida thinks DeS is crap based on an early build that he's shown, and basically drops all Sony support for it
>DeS actually turns out really well and becomes a cult classic
>From naturally aren't too amused by how he handled DeS, so they go to Bamco for DaS and Elden Ring
>DaS explodes and becomes legitimately mainstream, far surpassing DeS in popularity and sales
>Yoshida realizes that he completely fricked up and subsequently approaches Miyazaki, offering to fund his next baby and contribute Sony Japan Studio personnel to it
>We get Bloodborne as a result
Reminder Sony was involved with Demon's Souls development and they are responsible for cucking Miyazaki and From Software and forcing them to launch the game before it was finished, Shuhei Yoshida called Demon's Souls "CRAP, UNBELIEVABLY BAD" and refused to even publish it in USA and EUROPE, that is why Atlus and Bandai Namco had to publish it in those areas. He wasn't allowed to put the praise the sun emote/pose into Demon's Souls, so he put it in Dark Souls.
Bloodborne? Shuhei Yoshida came back crawling to Miyazaki, apologized, kissed the feeth of Miyazaki and From Software, gave them full creative freedom, a budget and Japan Studio to support them and Miyazaki made one of the best games ever by From Software, Bloodborne. Miyazaki had more creative freedom with Bloodborne than Demon's Souls.
Lance mentioned that there were almost no barriers for them to patch and port Bloodborne and that Sony could even do it without Fromsoft. Also they already have a build running on Windows 7 supposedly. he literally backported DS3's 60fps patch on ps4 pro to bloodborne and it magically worked lol
>asked them to make a first person/third person high fantasy RPG
I wish Souls was built around first person, it would control better in that case
>Yoshida thinks DeS is crap based on an early build that he's shown, and basically drops all Sony support for it
Wow, does Sony EVER make good decisions? I guess they course corrected for Bloodborne at least.
>"Please, make a clone of Oblivion"
>Makes Demon's Souls, a game that has nothing to do with Oblivion.
I would also be pissed.
Sony; morons then, morons now.
Only dark people owned a PS3 and most darkies don't speak English so they don't post here.
Same with with the remake. PS4 was the only time the average white man bought a Sony console en masse over any competitor.
Areas being split into separated levels is lame. Same reason no one gives a frick about Nioh.
No PC port and it just isn't as good as the other games
It's comparatively fricking OLD
fifteen years, you can almost frick it
and the series only blew up, blew up when it went to Dork Souls.
Still a great game from a much better era before the series' later obsession with difficulty and PVP
Probably because it's a bad game.
Like all the other fromslop. But it also loses the autistic zoomer audience because streamers ignore them and they just do whatever streamers say.
That's why from games are popular: dumb kids who are easily influenced by streamers who think babbys first AA is le hardest game ever xdddd
I picked up the remake and I really don't like it.
>Bosses so far are gimmicky
>Nexus too huge for how little is in it
>Play the game with half health or you're evil
This is kinda cool lore wise but really gay when leveling VIT because its such a waste
>Item burden
>Low as frick equipment load
>Only 2 ring slots so constantly in the menu swapping them
I took a break at 5-1 after they hide one of those grey enemies in a corner on a small crosswalk and got me killed. Unlike DS1-3 and Elden Ring, I'm not having fun with this one at all.
its basically dark souls but level based, without the seem less illusion of elevators/ladders/tunnels/etc to hide loading screens. pretty much identical to
a mega man classic/x game setup wise if you really think about it
The going through levels and getting powered up with new abilities that trivialize other levels also reminds me of Mega Man
>go to Shrine of Storms to get regeneration stuff
>Go to Stonefang Tunnel to get fire longsword
>Valley of Defilement is now easy mode
You can also get a +9 weapon in Stonefang that trivialize the game
Because Dark Souls was the starting point for all the people without a PS3.
Combination of it being stuck on an old console and it simply being nowhere near as good as Dark Souls. Demon's Souls was kind of a foundation or proof of concept compared to Dark Souls, and Dark is when the series found its audience.
Still a good game, mind you, just answering the question as to why it's not as well remembered.
Not on pc and the vast majority of players are too moronic/scared/principled to use emulation.
having level-based segregation is a huge advantage, I always wished we'd have a sequel of sorts with 10 or 15 levels instead of 5, even the nexus teased it with the broken archstone. open-world is fun don't get me wrong but I usually prefer levels that give more freedom to progression
Still has the best ultra weapons in the entire series.
Literally no weapon feels as good as Dragon Bone Smasher does, all these years later. Still has the GOAT moveset with the rolling attacks.
Greathammers in Demon's Souls have 100% constant poise from frame 0 - end of all attacks. You cannot ever interupt them during any attack. It's perfectly balanced for how heavy and slow they are.
>search something related to DeS on youtube
>all the results are from the demake
sad
>le remake is... le bad!
nah.
Whether it's good or bad in other ways, it irrefutably messed with the art and soundtrack and changed the tone of the game
Yah
It's not bad, it's pure shit
Amalur really nailed the quintessential west slop art style.
>Search the wiki for location of a specific item
>The description sucks, but hey at least there's a video attached
>It's the fricking demake
>Can't even recognize where the player is
just type "PS3" or "2009", it takes seconds. Fricking moron
In about a few decades when a PS5 emulator becomes a thing you'll say the remake was good.
Right looks better
But how does that affect you. You can still play the original :^)
Really fun at the start but the difficulty drops off a cliff after flamelurker. I never even used a single soul item the whole playthrough yet breezed past what I didn't even think in the moment was the final boss. When I realised I thought, that's it? He can de-level you, I guess that's kinda cool...
It's my first souls game and I hope the later games have a better difficulty curve.
Didn't have Estus
Because only people with a ps3 played it first and where it was first developing its reputation from scratch, Dark Souls rode the wave that Demon's Souls created and is where the wider xbox and soon to follow pc players had their first experience of the series and for them that's where their nostalgia lies, for some reason Demon's Souls gets judged harshly in comparison to Dark Souls.
>you will never go back to 2009 Ganker where a bunch of anons imported the game to play together
Jesus Christ I think that was one of the last times I truly enjoyed this board what the frick am I still doing here
A friend from school imported it and I thought it was weird. Never heard of it before and once I saw him playing I immediately ordered mine. That was the last time I remember good old high school rumors/gossip about gaming secrets and stuff.
I think that era around 2009 was one of the last times when games weren't just immediately data mined
I fricking hate that trend nowadays. It's for all media too, I cannot browse Super Sentai or Kamen Rider threads about current series unless I feel like getting spoiled from leaks and shit
I've been avoiding all Dragon's Dogma 2 threads to avoid getting spoiled before the game is even out. And even within smaller circles there's always the one guy who goes "did you see all this shit someone datamined and posted online"
So tiring
The single good thing is that getting vidya osts is easier than ever, everything else sucks unless a series manages to have zero leakers and dataminers can't get in until after somehow.
Was it ever really difficult to get game osts?
I still find it hard to find certain ones now or osts for some shows despite leakers and dataminers, it was even harder back in the day since most things were shit quality that I could find
its time to retire to /vg/
/vg/ fricking sucks unless you just play one game or series forever
I like variety
yea you deserve it here
By the time Souls gained mainstream popularity with DaS3 it was already too "aged" for normalgays.
Also PS3 exclusive which normalgays don't bother to emulate.
It's honestly better this way. DeS and early DaS was when the Souls community was at its best. No elitism and no one butthurt about the popularity (because it wasn't yet)
Because it was a PS3 exclusive and it didn't have a huge marketing campaign so it only got marketing by word of mouth.
So not as many people played it.
Same reason why Persona 4 is more popular than 3 or why Skyrim is more popular than Oblivion or Morovind.
PS3 exclusive.
It’s my personal favourite out of the entire soulsbornekiroring series, but it was an archaic game bound to an absolutely atrocious platform.
console exclusive
most bosses are kinda shit
the most annoying and moronic mechanics in the series
No one owned a ps3
Sekiro>Bloodborne>DeS>DS1>Elden Ring>DS2>DS3
Sekiro sucks
Elden Ring>Remastered>Bloodborne>DS1>SOTFS/DS2>DS3>Sekiro>Demon is Souls
??? it literally is though. it does have a smaller fanbase being stuck on sony systems but most people who did play it love it.
It is (by me). Best game by FromSoft, deal with it.
Because zoomers never played it
I like it more than the others
It's funny how this genre is called soulslike but in terms of quality the games are Sekiro >Bloodborne >Demons > DS1 = DS2 >>>> DS3 >>>>>>> Elden Shit
>thread made less than 8 hours ago
>under 150 replies
>somehow still up
wtf is going on with this board lately
Because only cool kids like me played it. Unironically this is the reason. During that generation most people had 360’s and it was a PS3 exclusive. It was also very obscure for a long time, getting traction on sites like Gamespot. If you didn’t follow gaming news you wouldn’t have heard of it. Then once you did hear about it you had to either import it or wait several months for the EU release like I did. It was a very different time, kids these days literally wouldn’t understand.
Just look at Yahtzee's review from way back in the day
People were confused by the game and didn't give it the time of day just writing it off as some shovelware shit
It was only after Dark Souls achieved mainstream success that people finally knew how to "play the game" and they all started to backtrack on their thoughts about DeS
yahtzee is a poser moron and hasnt had a genuine opinion of his own since his first 10 videos or so
his demons souls review was just another in a long list of tripe he shits out after playing games for 5 minutes, 99% of his opnions on games comes from the general audiences reaction to something
>niche game is well liked, better jump on the bandwagon make it my best game evah, im so hardcore because i like souls
Lol I just watched it and it’s hilarious to see how difficult he thought the game was back then. It’s easy to forget how much of a dark time gaming was going through in the late 00’s.
Same reason no one ever talks about GTA3 anymore, the sequels are vastly better games.
It’s unironically not that fun if you played the later entries. I use to enjoy kings field a long time ago but uh yeah not going back to that even if it got a visual overhaul
I tried replaying Demon's Souls on an emulator at 60 fps when I built my new PC the last year. You run out of stamina after 2-3 attacks and it takes forever to regen. The game's garbage lmao, and I say this as someone who replays Dark Souls 1 every year.
skill issue
F-f-f-filtered. Sounds like someone failed to
>git gud
>in a few hours
LMAO, yeah, sure.
I keep wishing for this to get a port so I can finally play it but seeing as I had a powerful PC I never thought to just emulate it lol
Guess I'll pause my billionth elden ring replay and get to work, I'll report back in a few hours when I beat it
DeS is janky and very short. It's beta Dark Souls and gets mogged into oblivion by every other modern From game.
