Dark Souls = Best lore

Dark Souls = Best lore
Dark Souls 2 = Best PVE
Dark Souls 3 = Best PVP
Bloodborne = Best bosses

No one can deny this.

Another one of these, huh ?

>Dark Souls = Best lore

Bloodborne has the best lore, Dark Souls has the best world interconnectivity.

>Sekiro = Best combat
all true but this
I wouldn't exactly call eschewing all the different flavors of combat builds for "play this very specific way or lose" the best
it's different, but its not the best.

>Dark Souls 2 = Best PVE
Really?

>thread of bad opinions
Yeah, that's a hide from me

3 actually has the best lore it adds things like the slave and ringed knights and Gwyn isn't portrayed as a good guy

>Bloodborne = Best bosses
I cringe

DS3 has the worst pvp by far. no poise and retarded levels of phantom range ruin it.

>dark souls 3 = best pvp

most active =/= best
if you legitimately enjoy roll/chug spam you're part of the cancer killing the franchise

DS3 has the best iteration of poise in the entire series, and the phantom range is the lowest it's been all across. You have no idea what you're talking about and need to git gud

You've only ever played DS3 and BB haven't you.

I played DeS in 2009, then DS in 2012, then DS2 in 2015, then DS3 in 2016, then BB in 2018. DS3 is by far the best in the series. The bosses and PvP are head and shoulders above everything else in the series.

Bloodborne has the best lore

>Dark Souls 2 = Best PVE

More proof that buyer's remorse exists.

Ds3 does not have the best PvP
Ds3 does not have the best PvE
Sekiro offers much variation in playstyle. Or did you simply gloss over the shinobi prosthetic upgrades?

It would be weird if there wasn’t a souls bait thread at this point

Darkwraths in 3 are the only thing close to DS1 poise and when you get the set yourself it isn't like that

Ds2* does not have the best PvE
My bad.

just roll catch bro

I don't think that bosses are head and shoulders above else in the series in DS3, I liked them in DS1 way more on average, DS3 has some GOAT ones like Guts and Nameless King but level design is 0/10 and it ruins almost everything in PvE. The ringed city must be laziest and worst location in history of vidya or top 10 at least.

>Bloodborne bosses
Why yes I too am appreciative that based from software blessed us with the opportunity to practice on 10 different flavours of the exact same beast boss, how could you tell?
What a true work of art!

The fuck are you talking about? Why would you expect wearing Dark set would reactivate DS1 poise?

DS1 poise was ridiculously broken, and turned the meta into fast weapon high damage R1 spam with high poise mindless garbage, or ninja flip backstab garbage because of how the bs system works. DeS was even worse PvP wise, Warding alone invalidated 95% of the weapons in the game, Second Chance is stupid overpowered, and so many mechanics are absolutely stupid, like katana pushlock amongst other things. This game also had no poise whatsoever. I'll admit I never played DS2 PvP seriously, because the main game already made me wanna kill myself enough, so I can't exactly share an opinion about it, although the fact that player count tanked so fast is a pretty good hint as to its quality. BB is a garbage fest of syringe pops and overpowered 1 shot kill builds. DS3 is definitely more biased towards fast weapons in its balance, although big slow weapons can also be viable if you put in 3x the effort to use them. Do I think DS3 PvP is perfect? Fuck no, but it's way better than anything in the rest of the series, and there's a reason the game is 4 years old and still has a 10k daily player count.

I honestly thought 2 had worse PvE than 1.

Level design is also the best in 3, what are you on about? You're confusing world design and level design. The world design in 3 wasn't that far off from being decent, if they had added a few more links between areas like they originally planned. Cinders mod fixes this and turns the 4/10 world design into a soft 7/10. The main game bosses are the best out of the series, and the DLC bosses are also phenomenal. The only ones that come close are the DLC bosses from BB. TRC is a great area, what's your issue with it exactly?

You have DS2 and DS3 interchanged. You're still a faggot though

All the tryhards stack poise in 3, even when using fast weapons, because rolls have poise frames.

"this very specific way" is the most entertaining combat in the series though, so his point stands.

>DS1 poise was ridiculously broken, and turned the meta into fast weapon high damage R1 spam with high poise mindless garbage, or ninja flip backstab garbage because of how the bs system works
So reduce poise damage on those fast, one-handed weapons so players cant stunlock another player in full Havel's with it, and increase poise damage on slower, heavier weapons?

Dude Dark Souls 2 PvE is by far the worst part of the entire series what the fuck.

DaS2 pvp is leagues above 3 because invaders can't chug estus and in 3 everyone can heal to full real quick because it's borderline impossible to prevent them. Same as BB, every fight becomes an attrition fight and whoever has the least amount of Estus loses if both players have meta approved weapons.
The only exception in 3 is when you can trick people into Perseverance.

>but it's way better than anything in the rest of the series

I love getting invaded, spending 3 minutes spamming rolls and trying to catch the invader out of the rolls he's spamming, having one of us back off ten feet to insta-chug a flask and repeating this process until someone runs out of flasks, or the invader just sprints away with the near-infinite stamina the game provides!

Its just so drawn-out and tedious, PVP in DS3 is ass.

>"Ambushes: the game"
>Best pve

I want this meme to die, please.

>Dark Souls 2 = Best PVE
>Dark Souls 3 = Best PVP
Huh? It should be the other way around

That's what they should have done imo. Poise would have been better integrated if it activated vs small weapons like daggers/curved swords/swords, with daggers dealing extremely low poise damage, swords dealing moderate poise damage (say 2-3 hits before poise is broken), greatswords dealing very high poise damage (you'd have to have a LOT of poise to withstand one hit), and ultras instantly breaking poise. It would have been a better more balanced system overall imo, but I like the current system as well. I'm just glad they didn't bring back DS1 poise.

2 prides itself with the best pvp though

God why are DaS2 fags so bad at videogames?

Bloodborne bosses are superior to 90% of the casual DS3 bosses in the main game, only the DLC bosses in 3 compare.

I'd rather have DS1's poise instead of no poise, heavy armor is near-useless and the game is nothing but roll-spam

youtube.com/watch?v=Q9IMaJY0GOI
Ah yes, great PvP.

>every fight becomes an attrition fight and whoever has the least amount of Estus loses
Plain wrong. If you're invading, once the other guy is low on HP, you stay close to him. If he chugs, you can deal exactly what he chugged in damage in two R1s with most weapons on a good build. If he's roll spamming, switch to a weapon that can consistently roll catch like a dagger/CS, or just stay really close to him until he runs out of stamina or starts spacing out his rolls more.

Stop being retarded and approach every area with caution. The only unreasonable ambush was that Ogre bullshit in Aldia's Keep

demon souls = only good souls game
rest of souls games = garbage
fact

Heavy armor is the meta now.

It's nothing to do with playing cautious. Dark Souls 2 is like a boring comedy with only 1 joke and you can predict the same stupid ambushes because they happen 5 feet after the other.

Both level and world design are bad, luck that crab area with nothing, ringed city etc. I don't like Cinder's mod, everything is OP there.

I'm not watching your stupid video. I'm pretty sure it's just some cherrypicked bullshit.

PvP is DS2 highlight because of variety. DS3 can eat shit.

Parrying is gay

>In dark souls 2 we have cow dung, dog poop, cat poop and hamster poop so much variety!

>bad
Ah, the brainlet's first mistake, conflating being annoyed with being bad.

Its not hard, its just tedious and not fun and wastes my time. In DS1 and DS2, when the player and invader actually engaged, one of them usually died. In DS3, its a game of attrition, you're better off poking the host and wearing down their flasks while trying to conserve your own until they run out and you can go in for the kill. Due to how quickly flasks are used, the fact that the invader gets up to 7 of them, the absurd stamina regeneration and reduced consumption, the smart play in DS3 is to take your time and waste the host's, poke at them and run them out of flasks, and that shit is tedious and boring.

Are you retarded?
The PvE in 2 was one of the worst things about the game. I can't think of one enemy who escaped the curse of jank.

Dark Souls = Overrated shit
Dark Souls 2 = Overrated shit
Dark Souls 3 = Overrated shit
Bloodborne = Overrated shit
Sekiro = Overrated weeb shit

No need to thank me

DaS1 was shitty all around so i agree with you there.

Thanks for admitting you're just awful at invasions. Go back to your ez mode lifegem spam game.

Seethe faggot. In terms of being a full blown RPG DS2 blows 3 out of the water.

Such a great RPG nobody plays it anymore.

I prefer Demon's Souls' more simplistic lore. Fits the format more.

dude this is code red, first time playing the first game
i alt tabbed to check some shit and when i came back i smacked the old man blacksmith
i didn't want to kill him so i let him pull some wrestling moves on me and kill me
the problem is he attacks me every time i see him now
can i fix this? even with some 3rd party program if needed
