dark souls fandom has been cringe and gay since prepare to die came out. its not even a hard game unless you purposefully handicap yourself

Dark Souls is a mediocre franchise with great atmosphere, world design and lore. Gameplay is pretty bad though.

it's just insensitive
people HAVE died over this

same can be said about Nier: A
but shiteaters will defend anything

Absolutely based

>dark souls is a mediocre franchise that is actually great
ok

A game can't be great with bad gameplay. Go watch a movie on you PS4 cuck.

Nier Automata doesn't have great atmosphere and DEFINITELY doesn't have great world design.

I had alot of fun with Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3!

>You've got a heart of gold. Don't let them take it from you.
was the better line in the Souls games

Thanks.

It's neither. Just marketing.

>Everyboss can be beaten using the same roll slap strategy
Nice wojack, you gotta go back.

Name one bad fromsoftware game.

OH MY GOD

Yeah, just not as many as died from the regular flu in the same period of time with an average age of like 82 years old, most of whom likely already had COPD or something similar.
This shit is retarded and needs to be mocked.

Some of the armored core games are trash.

Dark Souls 2

Based, I have no idea how almost every game gets shat on on Yas Forums, but this console trash gets a free pass, and whenever you point out that the game in itself is boring, it's always "FILTERED!!".

>Demon's Souls is a mediocre videogame with great atmosphere and world design. Gameplay is pretty bad though. I don't even acknowledge the sequels because it's just rehashes made to print money.
fixed it for you

corporate twatter accounts are always cringe if they do anything but business related announcements

I don't get it.

Ds2 Ds3

DARK SOULS IS fun

>every enemy can be beaten by the same strafing and shooting strategy
>every boss can be beaten by the same spam most powerful spell strategy
>every game can be simplified to the absolute most basic mechanics to seem dull strategy

dark souls

Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Sekiro.

Except Nier and Drakengard had the benefit of a great story
Dark Souls 1 and Demon Souls are the only good ones

Factually incorrect.

Elden Ring in 3... no, in 1.5 hour!!!

Very true user, there are games out there that are just as shitty as dark souls, good job.

Schools have only been cancelled for a short time and you kids are already retarded.

This, sometimes it's easier to just parry

these niggas can't count to one lmao

It's how I beat all three games.

>waaaah how could someone possibly not like my favorite game
seethe more rofl

YOU ARE DONE AND I AM UNDONE

>its not even a hard game unless you purposefully handicap yourself

This. I just watched my favorite streamer play the game using guides and then I did the same thing. Dark Souls isn't hard lol, just minmax and use walkthroughs, the way it was meant to be played!!

Holy shit! ITS HAPPENING!

bas

i like soulbornes

Dark Souls 2

DS3 was literally a more polished version of DeS

>Demon's Souls has the best stamina system ever. The slow attack animations plus the inability to animation cancel makes you think carefully about your every input
>Dark Souls 3 brings back the Mana/Focus bar from Demon's Souls instead of the Spell Cast system from DS1 and 2
>Auto-revival (embering) after a boss (or helping as a phantom)
>plus you have the five thrones which are a lot like the portals to the different worlds
>A hub system like Demon’s Souls. The Firekeeper is literally the Maiden in black fire defense woman" (火防女) which is also the same term for the Fire Keepers in Dark Souls.
>Giving the player character clear motivations up front and keeping the end goal in sight, just like in Demon's Souls
>The bosses will leave an Archstone/Bonfire behind upon defeat which serves as your way back to the Nexus/Firelink Shrine
>Lothric Castle / Great Archives / Cursed Garden is influenced by Boletaria Castle. The run-up to twin princes being 1-3's run up to penetrator
>Raiding the Castle in Boletara/Lothric only to come face to face with King Allant/Prince Lothric
>Irithyll Dungeon does indeed have some heavy Tower of Latria vibes, full of backtracking and going from one side to the other for keys
>Painted World of Ariandel is influenced by Northern Limit and Painted World of Ariamis, Dark Souls' “vertical slice” demo level
>All of the areas fit together like pieces of a puzzle and how everything came together to form one grand world
>Cathedral of the Deep, Grand Archives, Corvian Settlement and Ringed City are inspired by the great, memorable map designs of Demon's Souls

Biggest similarity between Demons Souls and Dark Souls 3: you start out in Boletarian Palace / Lothric Castle in the beginning before going on a journey across various regions and returning back to Boletaria/Lothric for the finale with Demon King Allant/Prince Lorian and Lothric before the final boss.

Wait a second, that post...

That shitty ps2 game with the headfuck music

So when it was released on PC? I agree.

Nier’s story is fucking garbage like almost every single other video game on the planet.

Must be a Nintendo fan. Dark Souls has been more influential on the industry than any Nintendo game.

back to your containment board retard

Literally everything before Dark Souls that isn't Armored Core

cringe

What does it mean? Not play Hollow Knight?

>Must be a nintendo fan
Damn seeing boogie men? I haven't owned a console since PS2.

>Tenchu was bad
You made a powerfull enemy today.

>lore

delivered almost entirely through item descriptions that the player character would have no in-universe explanation of knowing, and content so badly reshuffled and cut with so many loose ends that the actual story Miyazaki has in his head will never see the light of day

it's a quote from the game retard

Then you're a PC gamer and an insufferable baby who has a superiority complex but complains about console exclusives.

The souls games are incredibly easy if you're autistic/bad enough to grind souls and out level bosses. Sekiro fixed this but fucked everything else unfortunately.

I really hope you meant to say Demon Souls

Nice projection, consolewarstard.

for anyone that doesn't remember it

It sounds stupid

>but complains about console exclusives.
No, I don't think I've complained about an exclusive. Majority of the games that look interesting come out on PC at some point. Consoles don't really have exclusive games I want to play so it's a non-issue.

> but muh kiddie pool deep exploration of existentialism that basically amounts to a bunch of meaningless surface-level nods to philosophers filtered through a big booty waifubot is totally art!

Not him, but all games are shitty by your logic.
Nane one game which can't be simplified like that.

>but all games are shitty by your logic.
Yes.

The cultural shift that happened with Dark Souls is fascinating
Both when Demons Souls and Dark came out (moreso DeS) they were relatively niche and were seen as a guiding light to what games should be during a time where everything AAA was pretty similar. The explosion that happened with Dark Souls can't even be explained properly with how many factors went in to it. Instead of being a game with a massive connected map, old style stats, good gameplay and cool lore it became "the hard game". Even the tonal shift in marketing for Prepare to Die was very noticable. Streamers only played it because it was hard and their fans wanted to see them struggle.
My question is; what other games have had this kind of drastic change in tone be first applied by the fanbase and then affirmed by higher ups?

>brainlet retard doesn't even know of what game he's talking about

Let me guess, this started another shitty controversy.
