What would you do to improve all the games?

Nothing, they are peerless master pieces.

>>722947438 (OP)
revert nerfs to the game that were made to appease the absolute shitters infesting the fandom. bring back 1.0 sens fortress, shrine of amana, crystilian boss fights, etc.

>>722947438 (OP)
All those are so bad there's just no fucking way to fix them

>>722947438 (OP)
They need to go back to being adventure games with few checkpoints and no fast travel. DS3 completely ruined the tension of going through a new area by having bonfires everywhere and being overly linear

>>722947438 (OP)
Why you asking me? I just consume

Finish them.
Every Dark Souls suffers from crunch and being fundamentally incomplete.
I know FromSoft doesn't enjoy revisiting previous work, but ideally I'd like to see a feature-complete DS1 and DS2 as it was fully intended.

>>722947579
This is the probably the simplest and most important change that every post-DS1 game needs. Get rid of fast travel until you’re halfway through the game. It improves everything automatically. People hype up DS1’s intricate world design but in reality half the reason they enjoy it so much is because there was no fast travel and you had to traverse it on foot.

1. Add animation cancelling
2. Add more melee combos so its not just an R1 spam fest
3. Remove Boss runbacks. Period. Every boss should have a bonfire right infront of their room.
4. Put more effort into the story. Stop this vague, half-assed nonsense. I'm not saying you have to fill the game with cutscenes like a movie game, but the plot should at least be coherent. Everyone who played the game shouldn't walk away with a different grasp on the lore and the story because all you've left were breadcrumbs impossible to craft into a linear story. Sekiro had the right idea, imo, which is coincidentally why its the only one that's getting an anime adaptation

It would be interesting to have an Armored Core go back to tank controls with buttons to QB left and right

make it illegal for /v/ to play them

>>722947525
They are flawed peerless masterpieces

>>722947438 (OP)
I wouldn't do anything. I would listen to what they have to say. And that's what no one did

>>722947438 (OP)
Drop the soulslike formula entirely and make Chromehounds 2 or Metal Wolf Chaos 2

>>722947438 (OP)
The actual non meme answer is to nerf rolling and make other defensive options viable. Instead of spamming the same defensive moves you balance them so that blocking or rolling or dashing have their strenghts and weaknesses and you have to consider which option to use based on context. This is what monster hunter and most fighting games do, so I don't understand why it's so difficult for fromsoft to actually figure out how to balance a game.

>>722947525
Holy based

>>722947438 (OP)
ban their composers from using chanting

>>722947438 (OP)
Not make them anymore. Do something else, innovate.

Split into two games and optimize accordingly.
>boss rush streamer bait
>rpg dungeon crawler

>>722947438 (OP)
Environmental interactivity.

>>722947438 (OP)
back to being an adventure game with high tension, less bonfire, challenging environment, problem solving than memorize movesets and less catering to posers

Add more robust PvP modes

It’s basically a fighting game anyway

They're damned if they do and damned if they don't.
They've been in an arms race with the playbase since Artorias.
Once everyone solved the 'strafe behind them' bosses of early games, they had to make faster and more intricate bosses. Now you need more tries to learn them by design. So the bonfires have to move closer to the gate so you can get in those 20 tries. Eventually culminating with Shadow of the Erdtree where some players are taking 200 tries at Promised Consort even with the respawn just outside of the gate.

If you scale it back and lean into the adventure, people are going to complain about bosses being too easy.
If you have your cake and eat it too, people wont be willing to run past 15 dangerous mobs for a shot at a tough as nails boss.

FromSoft created a mess by trying to out-autism their players. Thinking they could actually win.

>>722947438 (OP)
I would add loli kidnap+rape mechanics to all of them

Sekiro and Bloodborne are in a league of their own.

>>722951542
This. As soon as a new game comes out that goes back to the Demons/DS1 boss aspects, people will groan online about it being too easy.

And then a split will happen, where the next game will "go back to the difficulty roots" and you'll have forever arguments online with zoomers.

>>722947438 (OP)
1. Remove the chalice dungeons
2. Add boss rush mode and more "inner" bosses

>>722947438 (OP)

>>722947438 (OP)
Add giant robutts

>>722953717
both terrible ideas

>>722947438 (OP)
sekiro is literally perfect

>>722953717
Never understood the hate for the chalice dungeons. Yeah they’re repetitive but they’re totally optional

>>722947438 (OP)
Is it really so hard for them to make it so that enemies can't hit you through objects?

>>722947556
based knower
most people don't even realize the soul drop rate was doubled in 1.06 making the game significantly easier

>>722947438 (OP)
Add BMX.


Maybe look at some titties.

It's very minor and simple, but I've always wanted ingame bestiaries for these games.

>>722947560
Filtered.

>>722947525
fromshitters are so fucking delusional, holy shit

>>722947438 (OP)
They've already hit perfection. The best they can do now is to take their mechanics and invade other genres, like survival-horror and metroidvanias

>>722947438 (OP)
they can't improve it, the formula is exhausted, miyazaki forgot his old motto of dignifying his works., they now are popular, but creatively they are in the bottom, only a new studio with young people could breathe new life into this type of game

>>722947438 (OP)
release armored core 7
next big game is forbidden from being medieval fantasyslop
less rolling and more emphasis on positioning or deflecting

How would you improve it?

>>722947438 (OP)
make them PlayStation Exclusive again

>>722949258
retard, they already did in Elden Ring with jumping and guard counters.

>>722963664
Put the two summoning signs for Consort Radahn inside the arena, like they did with Bayle and Messmer.
The fight would be manageable even for noobs if you could summon Ansbach and Thiollier inside the arena for help. Instead of doing it with them outside the arena and the doubling the boss's health only to die early.
Fits with them making the DLC very character driven. As opposed to how it is, where they fumbled that aspect at the 1 yard line.

>>722965108
I haven't played it since last year, is Radahn still really that hard

>>722965396
They toned down on the light show, but yeah, he's definitely the hardest boss in the game for most builds.
If you don't do the tank build everyone looked up when they got walled by him, he's still as brutal as ever.

>>722963664
Just get rid of the Scadutree fragments. There's absolutely no reason why the DLC has its own level progression.

>>722965532
I'm all for the DLC having its own progression but you should be able to access it way earlier too.
Lock the final dungeon behind beating Radahn and Mohg, but everything leading up to it should be accessible way before the end game.
Maybe after Leyndell? Beat Morgott, get access to the DLC realm?
Or maybe after getting the first half of the Haligtree medallion?

>>722965880
I agree, all FromSoft DLCs should be available early. Only DS3 did it right by putting the entrance to Ariandel in Cathedral of the Deep

>>722947438 (OP)
Add mechs
