Dark Souls, Demons Souls has good atmosphere but almost everything else is inferior.

Demon's Souls.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I enjoy how Demon's encourages you to cheese bosses. Using the thieves ring on the old hero feels like such a big brain moment even if it trivializes the fight.

I was replaying both recently and noted that NPCs have unique dialogues if you leaving abruptly when they're talking.
I like DeS more.

Dark souls is better from gameplay aspect.
Demon's is better from all other aspects.

It's not 'the second half'. it's like the last 3rd and there's even some degenerates that enjoy the dukes archives.

Demon's Souls, it's more consistent than Dark Souls even if I think the "DS1 falls apart in the back half" thing is exaggerated

In terms of level design and progression, King's Field IV is the true proto Dark Souls.
Dark Souls is a KF4 sequal wearing Demon's Souls' skin.

Not a bad level at all. Only part of Demon's Souls I really hate is the last section of Shrine of Storms, the boss runback is fucking brutal

Dark Souls 3. It is just Demon's Souls but better.
Anonymous No.723049031 [Report]

Can't say. They're good for different reasons. Demon's Souls is fucking rough in some areas but it has soul. It also had a different design approach where the levels were meant to punch you in the dick and the bosses were mostly set pieces. Dark Souls started the boss rush mentality and the vague, unfinished story and lore. DeS was just knights and shit, very straight forward. It was also a bit more dickish on the pvp side but overall DaS had more enjoyable pvp.

How often does Demon Souls go on sale? I'm thinking of finally buying, but no way am I doing it at full price.

These threads make me sad for the direction From went in post-Dark Souls 1. I miss Demon's, DS1, and their pre-Demon's games. And yes I've played most of them.

i thought DS2 was a decent halfway point between DS1 and DS3. putting aside how mediocre the game was, it still has a lot of that DS1/DeS charm and FS hadn't fully converted to the current formula yet

The bosses in Demon's Souls were largely made to be more gimmicky. There are exceptions but this is largely the theme of the boss fights. For the most part this changed in every later game including Dark Souls. Eventually it seems they outright removed any gimmicky boss in the later games. Sometimes it can work well but other times it can be total crap like bed of chaos. A big reason I think they likely changed it is because these games encourage you to make different builds an done build might have issues with a boss that others wouldn't. So it was likely easier in their eyes to make most future bosses be based around the rolling mechanic.

Dark Souls 1 is easier. I made it halfway through DS1 without humanity and people beat it naked too. And anyway Nightreign is their hardest game. General Radahn in SotE was stupid difficult.

Then there are extra hard mods like Convergence and Garden of Eyes if you're a PC player.

I feel like bossfights in DeS is trying to ape old fantasy stories or fairy tales, where there's a lot of David vs Goliath or Jack vs giants kind of thing where the hero have to find weaknesses or special weapon to eliminate the big bad, or use specific methods like making use of Old Hero's blindness. So I don't think you're supposed to feel bad, that's how the game is supposed to be played, by outsmarting your much stronger and bigger enemies.

Nope.

Nightreign is not Elden Dogshit Ring.
>General Radahn in SotE was stupid difficult
Nope. Elden Dogshit Ring has too much cheese and over-powered tools, all the bosses are a joke.
>Then there are extra hard mods like Convergence and Garden of Eyes if you're a PC player.
Gameplay mods are non-canon and only subhumans waste their time on it.

These souls games uses to take inspiration from team ico games. The DeS bosses feel somewhat similar to shadow of the colossus in ways, many large fights with a weakness to find out and exploit.

Demons is a Specialist Game what if you gel with it, tis the clear best, while Dark is the best all-rounder of the franchise but unless you either like that exact all-rounder blend or really like the interconnectivity there is likely another game in the series that suits your exact taste more closely at this point.

It's crazy how the npc quality depleted after Dark Souls and you don't get anyone charismatic anymore. I know it's a minimalist bs game but we need more npcs that would stick with us at least. Blooborne was the worst offender at this.
