I'm done with my hate boner for it now that elden ring is the new game to suck off but it's still the weakest entry, doesn't mean it's bad.
Why the fuck did they have to slather the whole screen with a gray filter?

Best bosses in the entire franchise. Elden ring doesn’t even compare with its lackluster rehash boss designs

elden ring was just a giant open map with random points of interest in every corner and the same copy and pasted dungeon everywhere
no nuance no finesse no soul

If only Dark Souls was about the bosses and not the ambience, yes

what in the fuck are you trying to say? Boss fights are a core element to the gameplay in these games. Imagine playing a dark souls game where the bosses are all designed to be shit on purpose because “it’s about the ambiance dooood”

This. I used to hate most of the bosses in DS3 but now that Elden Ring's parody-tier bosses exist, I feel as though I need to apologize to 3.

Always liked it. I just wish there were more branching routes like 1 and even 2. I understand people thinking it's below average for From but I don't understand how someone could consider it trash.

i really dont get people saying DS3 has the best bosses
First you need to ignore the first half being filled with the shittiest, most forgettable bosses of the entire franchise. And then in the lategame you have a bunch of bosses with style-over-substance movesets because it takes 0 effort to just iframe everything

Same. I tried recently and it didn't click. But I got this silly webm.
Maybe sometime later, I still want to do a mage playthrough.

>and even 2
2 has far more branching routes than 1, while 1 has less branching routes but more interesting interconnection (interconnection by itself doesnt give nonlinearity but they did use it to bring some cool route variety)

Wolnir
Deacons
Crystal Sage
Old Demon King
Yhorm
Ancient Wyvern

1/3 of the base bosses are filler or gimmicks. Friede has to carry the entire 1st DLC by herself. These are the stumbling blocks on any playthrough.

Grand archives is a nice dungeon. And the multiplayer connectivity was better than in the previous games, the covenant patches are kinda cheesy and exploitable but preferable to never seeing the online covenant mechanics work like they're supposed to. I don't understand why they removed darkmoon invasions though.

the way i see it, it might be the least interesting to replay out of the trilogy+BB+ER, but its the 'easiest' to replay
its just smaller and straightforward and takes less time/effort than all the others. and its also the game where you miss out on far less if you just rush to all the key stuff and ignore 3/4 the games' surface area

so to me it serves its purpose in my arsenal of fun games to replay. If i want to spend more time playing souls i will play DS1 or DS2, if i have a fuckton of time ill do elden ring, and if i just want one or a few quick sessions ill do DS3
DS1 also shares this quality if youre planning to rush all the way to the end

Of course I liked it. It has some of the most fun invasions in the series. That said, it is next to ds2 as my least favorite of the series. I simply think its overrated, but I play these games for the journey and not the destination(bosses)

Nope, but I wanted to. I hate it. I couldn't play it for more than 10 minutes before deciding to uninstall.

what about Aldritch? i dont even remember 9/10 of what that bitch does
Curse Rotted Greatwood is fucking horrendous because of these hitboxes and practically no features that are actually *fun* to interact with
Its hard to consider Halflight a real boss
Vordt should have been a good boss, but instead you spend half the fight hacking him while youre below him and 99% his challenge is being destroyed by his retardly fast thrust attack. So you die once to the boss in order to learn it and then never again

Midir isnt a bad boss but deserves a shoutout for being extremely boring compared to Kalameet and Sinh

Elden Ring effect. Bamco knows what they have is more valuable now. I got DS3 for $15 with all DLC in 2019. Pic related. Notice where the spike is.

Probably. I have a hard time envisioning what a remaster would look like considering Elden Ring is barely any better graphically. DS1 needed it for compatibility and stability. DS3 runs great on everything already.

there are a few things, like not running natively on funny resolutions like ultrawide etc. Well, that's actually the only thing I can think of, unless they somehow manage to figure out how to uncap the framerate without crippling the entire logic engine.

I didn't hate it, but I've felt less a connection to each entry as it went on. Half of the fun of 1 was its world design and exploration, but each entry that followed had less and less a focus on it while making bosses more and more hyper without giving the player a tool to keep up.
If I just wanted a spazzy boss rush I'd play some other game.

DaS games aren't just about the bosses, because the bosses are just show and spectacle and the gameplay is barebones and stiff. Like what the fuck man, it's all about rollspam or statchecks, it aint Monster Hunter or DMC
