@HYPERBASED @Pirat_Nation Ninja Gaiden has nothing on dark souls. I played the remaster recently and died only a handful of times. Dark souls hundreds..

@davidpwalter e.g. bosses in dark souls have a tonne of ‘signalling’ before they attack so you can kind of anticipate where their attacks will land.

@Gigahero @The_Kiseki_Nut Dark Souls is not a JRPG. It has nothing in common in either gameplay, system mechanics, or storytelling with the creators of the genre. Genre terms HAVE to describe meaningful aspects within the game or else it is meaningless as a genre descriptor.

@LillithHighHope @ChomperElectric Ignoring for a second that Dark Souls isn't directed as an audience of elementary school children. Its a problem when the tutorial is so shallow that most players never even learn about 80% of your fighting games combat system.

@marikaradagon You brought ds3 though. What about a game with actually good lengthy dlcs - dark souls 2. All 3 of them are somewhat endgame and all 3 of them are equally challenging WITHOUT resorting to any internal levelling system. Can you even explain why it is needed in SoTE?

@JohannesFGC @fromsoftserve I locked on in all of Dark Souls II and was fine. But I also didn’t do the DLC, so maybe some of the camera issues lie within there.

@Colderxx Hope you can enjoy soon! This has happened every test since dark souls 2. They’ll probably extend playtest hours later due to these issues.

The formula for successful art is always a blend of both "reactionary" + "progressive" elements. Usually, some degree of surface level hedonism works as the hook but the world building or narrative itself is deeply reactionary. K-On Dark Souls Strict LW or RW "art" doesn't work.

@atzaradio @DarkSoulsGame I mean... 1 already has a remaster, and it holds up great. Ds2 still has a lot of problems, and is known as the "worst one", even though it does have very cool elements. Elden Ring is essentially ds2 2

OnBrandRP

01/21/2025, 08:01 AM

@TentacleMistre1 @00oSamio00 It's because the parry mechanic itself works differently, it's fairly similar to the parry dagger in Dark Souls. You don't parry when an attack is about to connect with you, you parry just before it, as the parry animation is a wind up.

01/13/2025, 08:34 PM

Dark Souls was updated and the mods DSP was using have broken. He's blaming the update for it, not the mod. Maybe you shouldn't have updated it automatically Phil...

@PiggyKropotkinn @rmdyGG from a technical standpoint fromsoft are horrible devs, optimization and graphics are subpar(cancelled out due to godtier art direction) and they have a history of abandoning their games instead of fixing their problems, for every dark souls you'll find mods that fix stuff

— something that’s good or completely offline or PVE… like Dark Souls! Or Sekiro! Or Deep Rock Galactic. So that’s what I’ll go do I guess, I need to finish Nioh 2 anyway. The game simply isn’t for me, and that’s okay, everyone else can enjoy it. ? )

Celwynvian

12/08/2024, 12:49 AM

@lolcohol I've had no issues server or latency wise after the initial teething problems, game runs smooth as hell But personally I found the difficulty to be just a tad too punishing early on. Against bosses it's great, you get a checkpoint and you can game them out Dark Souls style...
