How were you supposed to know?

>>713320170 (OP)
you werent and I fucking love that about dark souls 1

You stumble into it and then leave a message

DEMASTERED IS UGLY AS FUCK
YOU ARE NOT PLAYING DARK SOULS
YOU ARE PLAYING A CRUDE IMITATION

>>713320448
i played the original when it came out. I played the remaster a few months ago. I literally could not tell the difference at all, though it had been a long time since I played the original so if there were changes I just wouldn't notice them anyways. Either way I noticed nothing significant while playing it. Still looked like the dark souls I remembered.

>>713320630
Okay? Congrats on being ignorant I guess?

>>713320170 (OP)
It was supposed to be like old school NES games where you share secrets with kids in the school yard. Except in this case you just go look shit up online.

>>713320706
Thanks y-you too.

Dark Souls is one of the few times that I've actually been rewarded for it.

You’re ugly as fuck. You are not a human, you are a crude imitation of one.

>>713320170 (OP)
You watched the tiktok influencers.

>Except in this case you just go look shit up online.
Wrong.

it's like doom but you attack instead of pressing space on every wall

>>713320170 (OP)
there's a miracle in the game, think its called Seek Guidance.
does it work here? no_. It should have a lot more fucking messages in-game and so many more uses so a player could actually think of using it without having to resort to the internet. it's a pretty large area, players would never be able to complete Seigmeyer's questline, which would have players scratching their head at the abrupt end. personally, i don't like illusory walls to begin with, but if youre going to have it, there should be something else to it. have it change, be a part of a puzzle, just something more. it ends up being nothing more than a door

>>713320872
hows that any different from looking it up online?
its still internet access, it's still reading other players messages. its not better. and what happens if the player is offline or the servers shut down?

>>713320730
I LOVE games like this. Every playthrough I notice something huge that I missed and it blows my mind. Games for this feel?

>>713320170 (OP)
People routinely leave messages just pass it so the edge of the message is sticking out.

Online was free back then, so consolefags like myself were able to enjoy messages.

You weren't. It was a secret. If you somehow stumbled on it, good for you, you get bonus stuff. If someone told you about it, good for you. If you never find it, tough luck but you aren't prevented from finishing the game in any way.

>How were tou supposed to know?
About a secret area? You weren't. Hence the secret part of a secret area. If you were hunting for secrets then hitting the walls has been standard for secret hunting for like 30 years.

Pretty obvious for a secret area. What, you just thought there a wide open spot clearly meant for something that was empty? Sure, its not immediately obvious what to do but that section was clearly for something and by that point you've probably come across a couple false walls and that wall was pretty punchable.

>>713323512
The secret area was the most well hidden in the game. It's behind a fakeout secret area with a chest in it that 99% of players would walk away from assuming that the chest was all there was to find

>>713320170 (OP)
Ifound it completely blind and that was soley because i was dicking around and literally thought "they wouldnt actuslly put a double hidden wall here would they." In other words, dumb luck

>>713323512
This. I found this on my own. Something seemed off about this location.

>>713323701
Wasn't the reward pretty shit which leads you to believe that's there still more secret to discover. As stated above, I found this my own because something didn't feel right here.

>>713324816
The shield you get before the first wall is pretty shit, enough to raise some doubts that it's all there is to see. The chest has twin humanities, not really shit enough to make the assumption again. The actual way they would intend for you to stumble on the second wall would be accidentally hitting it if you were checking for a mimic

>>713320170 (OP)
from the three hundred billion messages other players leave on the ground

they did it again in Elden Ring but by that point you should be checking the wall behind every hidden wall anyway

>>713320170 (OP)
>he does not whack every wall segment in every area
Jokes aside, you are supposed to use your gaymer intuition. Everything was off about that place such as too much space around the chest just for a dead-end.
t. found it offline with no guides

>>713320170 (OP)
you aren't, that's why it's a secret

>>713320170 (OP)
It was a big and prominent enough landmark to warrant close inspection

>>713320170 (OP)
nah boomer elden ring is crazyyyy for this

>>713320170 (OP)
Fromjews released a paid guide they showed all secrets and what to do.

>What, you just thought there a wide open spot clearly meant for something that was empty?
Plenty of spots like that in the game, to be fair.
