Is it actually overrated or are people just hyperbolic?

its just ds3 with regenerating health. its considered the "best" souls game because its the most forgiving and you can mash your way through encounters

>>717941829 (OP)
PCope and zoomer contrarianism

>>717941829 (OP)
It's not that overrated but ds1 and sekiro are better

among with sekiro best soulssloppa ever made, with DeS on third place
dark slop is just derivative work while shart ring is reddit core

It's one of the goats. It's been 10 years and it still gets a shit ton of threads. That doesn't mean you'll like it.

>>717941987
Put your meme words away and admit Dark Souls 1 is by far the best. It's not even close really.

It's the shortest game in the series, especially if you skip the chalice dungeons.

>>717941987
>buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzword

>>717942039
I like ds1 but it is close, the second half of ds1 is barely finished. It's carried by It's kino first half

>>717942039
NTA, but Dark Souls 1 is one of the worst. Dog shit balance, loads of shitty levels, piss easy, pants-on-head retarded mechanics like poise, busted projectiles and BSes, and the bosses are extremely shitty. The only thing that really holds up is letting the player upgrade at bonfires and not allowing teleport

>>717942116
>the second half of ds1 is barely finished
youtube watching non game player detected

>>717941979
Sekiro is superior, but Bloodborne is more consistent quality than DS1 is.

>>717942116
>>717942176
Incredibly wrong, terrible opinions.

>>717941829 (OP)
The other fromslop just lacks the atmosphere and how dense it is. Sekiro is also great but the world and level design are shit.

>>717942039
nobody cares about turd souls anon, dead franchise that got stale by the first original entry (demon's souls)

>>717942210
Sekiro is worse due to abysmal exploration because all items are !sugar or !potshard, and you fight every boss ten fucking times for some reason.

>>717942245
>Umm... my feelings are hurt.
Good counter argument. Anyways, shit levels, shitty movesete, bad bosses, retarded poise, retarded range, broken BSes, etc, etc.

the old ones were mortals who attained enlightenment

>>717941829 (OP)
It's only fellated by zoomer Snoy niggers, as they literally have no other game to claim their own.
The setting is cool, but it was nothing more than yet another case of streamlining and speeding up the "Souls-like" gameplay for the more ADHD audiences.

>>717942206
>thinks literal brainlet level design that looks like a child was given a level editor is good
Duke's archives was good but the rest of the areas after Anor Londo is pure slop
>inb4 but SOVL
Shut the fuck up

>>717941829 (OP)
its an underrated hidden gem

>>717941829 (OP)
Soul of the older games.
Better gameplay of the newer games.
Unmatched music, atmosphere, weapons, enemy design, delightfully weird, combat is funner than all the other games except Sekiro, etc.

>>717942378
You never made an argument to begin with. Anyways, you're wrong and homosexual.

>>717942116
You don't even need to go to the second half to see unfinished levels. Shit like Great Hollow, Ash Lake, Catacombs, and Valley of the Drakes are shit.

>>717942443
sorry but tomb of giants is one of the best areas in the game noob

>>717942547
You need to stop bringing up men having sex with eachother to substitute for your lack of personality, faggotanon

>>717942586
Ah yes, the level that is literally just dark. Very unique and original!

>>717941829 (OP)
Somehow half the bosses are total dogshit but it has a handful of the best bosses ever.

>>717942586
>Textureless empty cave is actually the best level in Dark Souls 1.
Adds up

>>717942443
Not that guy but Lost Izalith looks great and Bed of Chaos isn't an issue on a casual playthrough.
Having to fight multiple Capras is good level design.

>>717942660
Most pathetic comeback I've ever read.

>>717942754
Ok homo

>>717942662
Yep. It's a great use of environment, not many other games use darkness as an obstacle like that so I agree it is original too. Not that you would know cause u just watched a youtube vid...

>>717942681
honestly youre right but i still love the game

>>717942724
try turning on your lantern LMFAO

>Dark Souls is... le unfinished
If you parrot this shit you are unironically a soulless NPC

>>717941829 (OP)
It's the least shitty, according to /v/

>>717941987
Your mom must've poured bleach in her vagina when she realized she was having you.

>>717942797
It's not really an obstacle because you get a lantern right before. Also every game has a dark cave level, stop being a retard.

>>717942937
>Also every game has a dark cave level, stop being a retard.
doubt it.

>>717942861
>retard nigga doesn't know what a texture is
kek checks out

>>717942889
>a bunch of retards voting in an irrelevant poll
thanks for the info

>>717942928
>soulstranny enraged and seething and calling others names while still not addressing the argument
fromtroons are the most buckbroken cultists in gaming

>>717943028
Your single retarded opinion is actually less relevant in that case, so it can be safely ignored.

>>717943037
I don't give a shit about who likes what, you're just clearly retarded.

>>717943169
you didnt ignore it though :^)

Shadow Tower Abyss is better than Bloodborne in every way, but zoomgroids never played it.

>>717943208
you still didn't address the argument lil bro

>>717942845
me on the left

>Fromsoft game thread trying not to be a toxic shitfest challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

>>717943550
me in the middle

>>717943561
That's because Fromsoft games are enjoyed by enthusiasts who appreciate that their specific niche has been catered to. There is a healthy variety of opinions because everyone gets something different of their games. It is truly impressive that Fromsoft has managed to foster such passion, something you can't say about many devs.

>>717943561
It's the modern day FF fanbase.

>>717943702
lmao

Is the base game alone worth it?

>>717944786
Sucks to say but honestly no, The Old Hunters is too good to leave out.

>>717941829 (OP)
Its overrated, but its also overhated.

>>717944786
Yeah but Old Hunters is kino

>>717943561
>toxic
maybe you came to this website by accident

>>717941925
This, it is easy. Very easy. Fun, but easy.

Its awesome. Souls games are based af. And anyone who says otherwise a smooth brained subhuman faggot.

>>717941829 (OP)
Bloodborne is great. I prefer the combat of Sekiro, but the atmosphere and level design of Bloodborne is GOAT.

>>717941829 (OP)
Yes

>>717941829 (OP)
It's one of the best games ever made without breaking a sweat.

>>717950153
it breaks several sweats though

>>717950964
Brown-tier comprehension of an expression/attempt at a joke

>>717943273
I don't even know what you're opinion is, I'm just telling you it's safely ignored.

>>717951694
brown-tier unwarranted seething out of nowhere

>>717951781
Umm actually you have several unwarranted seethings

>>717941829 (OP)
I went back to the franchise and this and Sekiro were the only ones worth finishing besides Demon's. The Namco games are these giant sloppy messes. It's almost like that's what they contract. Meanwhile, Demon's, Sekiro, and BB are much leaner

>>717952061
Boring contrarian post.
Let me guess, Dark Souls 2 is... le bad?

>>717952281
It's fine, they're just worst than the non-Namco games for some reason. Why are you seething?

>>717952281
It's shit. nta
