How did a team of just 3 dudes in their mother's basements manage to outdo a company of hundreds with budgets in the tens of millions of dollars?

How exactly does it rip off souls?
Your answer will be disregarded if it mentions mechanics that existed before Demons Souls.

>ends up being better than every Souls game combined
Yeah nah, fuck off, every single one of those was fun within minutes.

It has bosses.

It is so overrated.

>"ends up being better than every Souls game combined"
I like HK, it's a good game, but but you must be baiting if you really wrote that, I wouldn't even say it's superior to bloodborne in any way.

>Better than DS2
Wrong

Because the Souls series was overmemed garbage that got picked up by normies. The games themselves are embarrassing janky messes propped up by losers who don't understand games.

Case in point, ever talking about iframes like it's not supposed to be some hidden corner-cutting dev technique, and is instead a "feature"

Usually a game made by only a couple of guys is a work of passion and love

>How exactly does it rip off souls?
SHIT-ASS BUG DUDE

people who compare it to dark souls started playing games in 2007 and dark souls was the first challenging game they played

>rips off Souls games

It's a strand game, user.

Not sure how it ripped off souls, but it's definitely not better than any souls game, except maybe Dark Souls 2. Either way, it's not that great of a game.

I fucking hate this question
Yes, no shit most, if not all of the mechanics existed before Souls, but it is clear as day that it is heavily inspired by Souls. You know this to be true and you're not smart for recognizing that Souls didn't invent these mechanics

How do y’all feel about Kings Field?

reddit game

Less reddit than any of the souls garbage, and Yas Forums sucks their cock hard

I love all 4 games, personally

Just got Ancient City in the mail. What am I in for?

>HURRRR RIPS OFF
>HURR EVERYTHING MUST BE %100 ORIGINAL OR IT'S COPY WRITE CALL THE LAWYERS GUIS THIS ISN'T OC DOUGHNUT STEEL

Same as everyone else. I go online and pretend I played them when they came out, even though they sold like hot garbage because they were jank trash.

Might as well pretend to be a fan of Kagero Deception.

Tell me, why do you think the souls series are such garbage?
Since you "understand games" so much, you should be able to give an objective and precise answer.

>Tell me, why do you think the souls series are such garbage?
I told you about the iframes, bro. Holding up lazy corner cutting as features is fucking stupid. It's why you end up with games that tie crucial player inputs to fuck framerate. Laziness. It's why you have collision detection so poor that enemies kill players through walls, and you excuse it. Enemy AI is so laughably bad that they jump off walls to their death, and backtrack ones you get away like a fucking wow mob.

Whole areas were so poorly optimised that they ran at sub 15 FPS, and still do on switch.

The real question is why you're defending shit. You didn't have a hand in making the game, it's not your job.

So you basically consider a game shit just beacuse it has poor performance and bugs?
Wtf user, we were talking about game design.

>Wtf user, we were talking about game design
what part of abusing inclusion of iframes, poor AI pathing, hitbox detection and tying physics to FPS isn't game design to you?

lol remember when Miyazaki had no idea how to end DaS3, so he just ripped off an anime movie from the 80's and levered in characters that nobody had ever heard of before?

Gwyn's secret daughter! haha, we all laughed over that one

It isn't retard, all these are technical issues.

The final boss of DS3 was just an unused armor set lmao.

So why would you ever think that other user was talking about game design? You're terrible at this.

You can't qualify a game as garbage just because of technical problems, DS was genius, even being unfinished (which it actually was).
Common sense, you are either retarded or a troll.

40% of your playthrough is run form savepoint to boss room

I got to the "kill the 3 ancient souls" bullshit or whatever and now i'm literally lost. I have no idea where to go.
The one boss requires getting through the water. I still have nothing to traverse water with.
Awful level design.

You can't qualify a space program as garbage just because none of the rockets take off, the Congolese space program was genius, even being a recliner with semtex under it (which it actually was).
Common sense, you are either retarded or a troll.

Bad analogy, DS launched, was always playable.

You can't qualify a food as inedible just because it contains compounds 100% fally poisonous to the human body, this pufferfish gland was delicious, even once rigor mortis claimed by bloated corpse (which it actually did).
Common sense, you are either retarded or a troll.
