Thread 720191346

i had someone explain the lore of this game to me and it sounds way more interesting than dark souls or elden ring, the lore of the game makes me wish the world of the game was different though, like more alive. that's my gripe with all fromsoft games, the worlds are always barren, with few key NPCs.

You sound six different kinds of retarded.

>>720191346 (OP)
I don't know dude the isolated and barren worlds are the appeal for me
I'm glad there's so few npcs because it makes the ones you find way more special

>>720191346 (OP)
demons souls always had the best lore of the souls games because it has the least amount of vague horseshit and unanswered questions. the gameplay mechanics of souls games also meshed with the lore of this game the best. i'd stick around for the thread OP but you inspired me to go do another playthrough of this. too bad you're not too fond of the game world, but i like it myself. but to each his own.

Just played the remake. There original intro is far more better at introducing the setting

I doubt you actually know the lore of any of those games

i'll admit i've never played the game, i've just seen gameplay of it and assumed it was just like dark souls 1, but then someone told me about the lore which i thought was really cool compared to everything that came after (except for bloodborne) i just personally don't like the emptiness in souls games, but i understand there's story or lore reasons that explain the barrenness of the locations in the game. i just have always wanted a fromsoft game where there's a ton of random NPCs that make the world seem alive. that's what i was hoping for with elden ring actually since it was gonna be open world, i imagined a world that was alive, but they pulled the same tired ass lore from dark souls (essentially) which was a disappointment for me. i'm not saying the game is bad, just that it didn't meet my expectations.

tl;dr lil bro

>because it has the least amount of vague horseshit and unanswered questions
No Souls game has vague lore and unanswered questions
Also most of the people who claim this don't actually know how deep Demon's Souls lore goes, and think the world started with Allant, ignoring witches, monumentals, the old cult and the Order of the Soul

I mean theres not too many NPCs in Demon Souls. The world is still dying. I would like to play a souls game that takes place during the golden era / start of demise when not everything is decrepit and destroyed yet

i would like this too, i think the post apocalyptic setting is getting stale.

>>720192558
That would require them to actually write things though instead of throwing in some vague quotes

>>720191346 (OP)
I never enjoyed the lore in these games. First off, it is just weird how your character knows every single thing about a place they have never been in before, but more importantly you will never get a somewhat coherent story let alone a complete one even after collecting every single item. It's all fragmented and I guess you're supposed to fill in the blanks, but that's such a stupid way to convey a story. Lazy fucks are just offloading writing work to the audience.

>>720191715
I feel it did a good job of showing inhabitants of each world that really uniquely fit the areas even if they're largely nameless mooks
>Boletarian Palace full of soldiers and knights
>Stonefang full of scaly hunchback miners
>Latria full of tortured prisoners and gargoyles
>Shrine of Storms full of skele bonermen
>Valley of Defilement full of weird filthy ghoul people

is this bait? just woke up

Souls lore is the world's foremost Dunning-Kruger magnet.

Drakengard
at least the first one

>sekiro still had vague souls lore with more of a story
>elden ring brought in a fantasy writer for the story and did the same vague dark souls 1-3 lore
I'm getting tired of it

>>720193289
yeah, retards like you that claim Souls lore is meant to be fragmented and vague when Frosoftware always said the story is always defined and they take care to make sure it is fully explained by the time you finish the game.

>>720193589
>play das 1 2 3, bb, elden ring
>hey you're just some guy go kill bosses
>get multiple ending options that you never get to see what happens afterwards
great story

>>720193719
>>get multiple ending options that you never get to see what happens afterwards
Because you are retarded and can't understand when the game explains it to you

>>720193889
explain to me what happens in each of the bloodborne endings

>>720193889
Please, using direct citations of in game evidence, explain to me why Marika shattered the Elden Ring.

Question on Demon Souls. Why was your soul fortunate enough to get 'chosen' then trapped by the nexus? You pass so many unfortunate souls of heroes on your travels. So why did you get a pass?

Also i like hollow form better in dark souls. Made more sense, your a shriveled up corpse so your life cut by half. In Demon Souls you become a ghost thats seemingly corporeal anyway in everything but name. Protag can still interact with world as if still alive.

>>720193570
>sekiro tells the most cohesive story
>also by far their best game
interesting

>>720193975
i also love the hallow form in dark souls it's such a cool little mechanic, i hated dark souls 3 where you're just normal and then you get these lame ass embers glowing on you... so lame.

>>720192381

Woman moment.

DS2 actually gave me motivation to not die. I didnt wanna see my cutie get all shrimple because I fucked up.

>>720192809
Yes you're always uncovering secrets and conspiracies after everyone involved or impacted is dead.
Dark Fantasy should give you a feel for what is life like in its world.
Like if Bloodborne started before everything went to shit permanently, Yharnam would still be a scary and mysterious place.

>>720191346 (OP)
The lore must be amazing since I like the game but have never read any text that doesn't have to do with gameplay and try to skip as much dialogue as possible

>>720191346 (OP)
I like Ar tonelico 2 a fair bit, but I feel like none of the games in the series really do justice to the creative setting.

>>720193952
To reform it as a true goddess
>using direct citations of in game
She literally says this in her echoes
>>720193937
It's fucking self explanatory, retard

>>720195958
>She literally says this in her echoes
Cool, cite the echo.

>>720196021
No, I'm not going through the effort of googling the most basic shit only for you to dismiss it. She only talks about the study of the light cipher to uncover the origins of the Elden Ring, founds Fundamentalism, and talks with Radagon about enacting the Sacred Rite to merge into a Goddess, which she did not fullfill, making her a false Goddess.

You are the prime evidence these games have a very strong and clear narrative, but retards like you are just unable to understand it because you are just low IQ subhumans

>>720192306
It does play almost exactly like the first dark souls but the level design is pretty different
Very linear game but in a good way

>>720195958
yet you can't explain it
