Dark Souls 3 is the most sovlless Dark Souls

>>715295585 (OP)
Odd way to spell
Well made

Kys ds2 faggot, it's a piece of shit

>>715295585 (OP)
When it comes to purely Dark Souls

DS III = DS I > DS II

Otherwise its

Sekiro > Elden Ring > Bloodborne > DS III/DS I > DS II

>>715295585 (OP)
Yes. I still liked the PvP tho

>>715295585 (OP)
The influx of casuals this brought in did irreparable damage to the series and FROM as a whole.

>>715296329
literally the opposite

>ds3 has 3 souls
>ds2 has 2 souls
>ds1 has 1 souls
obviosuly

I have more fun doing endless loops around the Ringed City (while waiting to be summoned for jolly coop or as a Spear of the Church) than I have in any other Souls game.

>>715301198
The Ringed City came out during the best period of my life so I have a lot of nostalgia for it.
It's still some of the best From stuff, but my hype for it has been a little diminished after Elden Ring.

>>715301786
I just think the Ringed City is the single best FROM level that they've ever made. Yes, even better than the Undead Burg.
I love how it loops around on itself constantly.
I love Midir and how he's scenery, then a terrain challenge, then a miniboss, then a boss.
I love how the swamp doesn't poison you.
I love the Show your humanity puzzle, and I love guiding people to the solution ingame.
I love that you can parry the giant fat suits of armor, or one-shot them by landing on their heads using the various bridges that go over them.
I love being the Spear of the Church, and how the covenant makes you such an antigank monster.
I love that you can revive the Spear after beating it, making the area a permanent PVP hub.

I just love the whole thing.

DS 1 literally has nothing going for it other than the world and even that goes to shit the moment you enter sen's fortress
its just running for 90% of the game, sure its fucking memorable, beautiful in a way and works very well with everything eventually leading back to firelink
ITS STILL ONLY RUNNING

>>715295585 (OP)
I guess that's true. DS2 was shit but at least is had new ideas. DS3 is just putting all the shitty parts of 2 into levels somewhat similar to DS1.

>>715295585 (OP)
Is 3 any good? I hate that in 2 you just get overwhelmed all the time

>>715304982
3 is "the best of hits" of the series up to that point. Its solid as a compilation, it plays like a mix of DS1 and BB and heavily favors speed builds so dex/sta. Tank is not very viable on the first playthrough.

Because its a "best of" though it doesnt have much of an identity so it'll be a fun enough run, but it wont reach the heights of DaS1 AND BB as it'll always sort of leave you just wanting to go back and play either of those. Still, I'd say its like an 8/10 game. Worth the playthrough.

>>715304982
Instead of being "overwhelmed" by a bunch of pointless 1hit monsters you will be rushed by 1-2 enemies who have a combo of 7 hits stunlocking you to death.
Pick your poison i guess, i much preferred 2

>>715295585 (OP)
>we have bloodborne at home

>>715306767
Also, weirdly enough, if you get the right build going it can feel like a fast paced action game. There was a moment in it i was fighting these two assassin skeletons and the combat was moving so fast between me and them that it actually ended up reminding me of when I was playing Ninja Gaiden.
>>715306954
I dont remember that in the game too much, but it has the BB style aggression so I think i interrupted a lot of the enemy attacks before they could ever get started. It was not nearly as bad as most of the ER enemies when it came to that

>>715295585 (OP)
based
DS3 saved soulskino from the abject failure constituted by fanfic-tier DS2

Holy shit that fucking entire game is just member berry after member berry, 0 fucking original thought inside devs mind. And ringed city even if its probably best Souls zone is still just Oolacile 2.0

>>715303452
>running
>not crawling around picking off enemies one at a time across a zone, pick up all the items, and proceeding boldly

>>715307301
I forgot.
>haha remember Priscilla?

>m-mommy

>>715307697
I did that in undead burg, depths and blighttown on my 1st playthrough before i understood game is braindead simple. But dont tell me there is anything to pick in any zone once you are in sen's fortress.
Anor londo is a complete linear deadzone and monsters are too bulky to bother killing.
Izalith has nothing
Tomb of giants has nothing
Duke's archives IS JUST RUNNING AND TURNING LEVERS if you want the crap on various floors.

tl;dr once you ring the bells the game is just fucking running and killing occasional 1-2 mobs which do nothing
the only deaths are from falling

>>715303452
DS I has a lot of attention to details, some levels have great design and it tried a lot of creative new things. The lore is great too and a lot of key mechanics were introduced by the game which later were carried over to new ones. But its still far from being the best From made. Its decent, but not great. Which is why every From non-DS title is superior to it.
