Hot take: Dark Souls 1 is the only good souls game

>>714695952 (OP)
yes, by far. Subsequent Soulslikes feel like parody.

DS1 isn't that good.
>90% of the plot happens in the opening cinematic
>90% of humanoid enemies can be circle strafe backstabbed to death
>90% of magic is different variants of magic missile
>one third of the bosses are dogshit
>dogshit platforming that you have to engage with
>hollowing mechanic is trivialized by a few minutes of grinding rats
>in a big picture just as linear as its successors

It's a bad game but a good souls game.

And yet there's not one webm of this game ever looking "good"

>>714695952 (OP)
That should have been made clear when every subsequent game used the same animations (but added sparkly magic after attack at the end), the same weapons, the same items, and the exact same copy pasted movement system without even fine tuned tweaks.

Dark Souls was a marked change from Demons Souls. Nothing else was a marked change from Dark Souls, except Bloodborne.

>>714697753
No webm makes these games look good.

>>714695952 (OP)
But eldenring made it obsolete
Literally 0(zero) reason to play darksouls1 after playing eldenring (the best game ever made)

>>714697753
Those lock on attacks were intentional and part of the game's charm because they were a novel, unfair idea at the time. Youre only bored of them now because they're over 10 years old.

>>714697938
Elden Ring is the same shit but emptier.

>>714697938
Elder Ring is the exact same game but with an empty open world full of pointless side dungeons that give you loot you probably won't use.

>>714697753
Unlike you, others have actually played the game and know it feels amazing to play.
Maybe stop obsessing over clips from DSfix induced 60 fps glitches. The games mechanics function flawlessly in actuality.

WOw, ELden Ring could never reach this level

>>714698008
>>714698187
and here comes the cult

>>714697980
>>714697865
Literally all modded to break the game and then clip it to make it look bad, which is insane peak autism.
Anon, there are millions of people who have actually played the game and know the AI is good and doesn't act like this.

>this guy posting webms to try to shit on the game
>doesn't realize since he made all these webms he is proving he recorded himself in every single fight of this game
>doesnt realize he recorded himself intentionally breaking the game, showing a level of mastery over it, proving he has played it a shitload

I don't get how anyone can defend these games when they became more stagnant than Call of Duty.

Demons > Bloodborne > Dark 1 (first half) > Dark 3 > Dark 2 >>>>>>>>>> Dark 1 (second half)

Haven't played Sekiro or Elden Ring.

>>714698324
>it's ughhh le modded
holy cope

>you're tehere...as an adventurer...trying to decide how best to overcome a difficult situation

>>714698289
Stating an objective fact that makes you seethe, more like
>>714698365
It obviously is. Everyone here has played the game. Your agenda is so weird especially since you post the same exact clips you made in your modded version of the game, and you have done this in every single Dark Souls thread for YEARS.
You're completely unhinged.

>>714698324
I played DS1 recently and enemies do have fucky pathfinding from time to time.

>>714698487
it's obviously not modded you fucking fanboy

>>714698348
DeS, DS, and BB were all the original formula and not stagnant at all thoughbeit

>>714698461
rekt

>>714698461
This in particular is your fault for not disabling the 60 FPS patch, not that From shouldn't be given shit for releasing a borderline unplayable PC port.

>>714698491
I've never experienced that myself in 800 hours.
>>714698461
This is literally the only actually valid criticism from this mongrel retard, but a minor and pretty irrelevant one. There are two places in Blighttown where stepping on the wrong pixel will make you slide off the branch. Everyone knows that.
It won't make a 10/10 game not 10/10.

>>714698535
I mean we can literally see DSfix is enabled in all your clips, are you retarded? Its well known the 60 fps modification breaks the games physics engine.
You 100% caused these problems on purpose with DSfix, or worse, are actually so retarded you don't know what every single other person knows, that 60 fps modding it breaks the game.

If you ever think you're a retard for one reason or another take solace in the fact you at least don't have a folder full of shitposting webms for the sole purpose of spamming a thread about a game you have a vendetta against

>>714698715
There's no good reason for the 60 FPS patch to break pathfinding.

>>714695952 (OP)
Dont care. Its a demon souls clone and BB perfected the gameplay

>>714698882
Sekiro perfected the gameplay*

>>714698934
Sekiro is a white washed action game with no personality. I rather play WoLong than that garbage.

>>714698843
Its even more sad when you think of the fact that he purposefully enabled 60 fps in DSfix to induce these glitches, for the purpose of spamming the clips, to make the game look bad and make people not try it lmao.
The mere existence of Dark Souls makes this fat retard SEETHE.

I think the WEBM spammer doesn't play anything but AAA stuff

>>714698852
It however does cause various problems like that, plus variance in jump distance, varying i-frames during rolls. The entire game is designed around being at 30 fps.

>>714698934
It didnt perfect it. It built upon it. Still great games. DeS, BB, Sekiro are only ones you really need

>>714698715
Not him but does Remastered still come with some of those bugs? When it came out I recall people just saying newcomers should play the OG with DSfix but I ended up playing Remastered and it never glitched out on me, loved the game.
Meanwhile Mortal Shell to this day has a major bug on all platforms with the Axekatana (pic related), one of only 5 weapons. Half the time using the special ability with the axe form when locked onto an enemy renders you unable to attack until you reload a save or restart the game. Pretty cool game otherwise, but definitely feels like a pastiche of DS1 rather than an entry in the same genre, like so many Soulslikes.

>nOOO stahpy making ds1 look baaad
Do ds1 fags really? lol

>>714699154

Westeners are still SEETHING a decade and a half later that Dark Souls was a success. I never saw this much cope from these degenerates since Halo CE was also a success.

>>714697753
this gave it difficulty and made runs feel unique. everything newer is so staged and automatic you can never fail once you get the basics down.

>>714698715
Dark Souls 2 fags are not known for their intellectual honesty

>>714697865
>Zero AI improvements
You can tell the A team was making Kinoborne

>>714697865
this is obviously because of the pillars which are not a common obstacle. when you're on a new game file and you have a weak weapon those guys are a good fight.

>>714700102
the movement and hitboxes are so fucking good

>>714698195

>>714700451
So true

>>714698953

>>714698461

>>714695952 (OP)
Wrong, but it is the best. Probably.

>>714697753
literally 1/1000th of the bullshit that elden ring pulls, it's lame but the later games are infinitely more cancer for the sole purpose of being annoying unfun cancer

>>714698329
You can bet he never played it and just collects webms.
Even I still have some old gifs on my drives.
Fact is, DS1 is a pefect example for the "flawed masterpiece".
It has way too many issues to be considered great, but it is /was so insanely unique.
It has becomes more than the sum of its parts.

To be clear tho, all sequels ruin it.
Embracing roll slopp and removing immersion.
Not a single game since had such a coherent interconected world.

Even ER sucks in that regard, the entirey underground connections just feel like DS2 transitions.
