Latria, man. Thinking on it, Dark Souls didn't have anything that felt quite like it, same for Dark Souls 2. At best, it feels like the influence behind Latria got spread thinly across different areas in both the following games (and Shulva in DaS2's DLC).

Dark Souls improves the game in almost every way. Some people on /v/ prefer Demon's Souls because of a combination of first exposure to the series, hipsterism (even though DeS was a slow burning success that eventually got a decent amount of mainstream press coverage) and waifus
PLEASE, HELP ME
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGH
>>257340571
I prefer Demon's because the atmosphere and setting is a lot more appealing to me. I actually enjoy just being in the game, whereas Dark has more options as far as gameplay and items go, but isn't as appealing. The levels don't feel as fun to explore and play through.
>>257340556
Fucking excuse me?
>>257335556
I like Maiden in Black's accent
ONE MORE DEMON DOWWWWWWN
>>257340571
Demon's DOES have the best moveset for spears and the best bosses though
Do some classes start with a World Tendency of White or Black?
I made a Royal and after killing Phalanx my WT was already PWWT.

Solaire doesn't count because of his cancerous fanbase. The only NPC that comes close to Biorr is Tarkus.
I don't think I've ever liked any armor in video games more than the Fluted set.
>>257340921
No, world tendency is neutral when you start. The reason yours was already shifted is because you were online. Play offline if you want to mess around with tendencies, primarily white.

>tfw you pick up DeS again just to wander through Boletarian Palace once more
The atmosphere there is incredible, especially 1-4 with the lead up to Allant. Those sub sonic sound effects on the walkway always give me chills.
>>257340119
Dark is better than Demon's because it has a bunch of ugly, shitty armors, half the weapons are total shit, stat scaling means nothing so you just build straight health for max success, almost every shield blocks 100% physical, they literally gave up on the level design halfway through, and it has a shittier fanbase.
That's why it's better.

No problem. Tendencies are always a pain when you deal with the server median.

If you're playing online, world tendency will be set to the average of everyone playing when you start. It's not uncommon to have every world at +2 nowadays.

Honestly? Phalanx. Even though there are, objectively, better bosses and more memorable boss fights, I just have the most fun with Phalanx.

Anyone else feel like Demon's Souls is what a good transition of the 2D castlevania games to 3D would be?

Not really. It's more of a transition to modern 3D for King's Field if anything.

>>257339783
You know, as much as I love Latria, I feel like other worlds in DeS don't get as much love when they all had cool shit going for them.
Valley of Defilement feels so oppressive, and the Shrine of Storms feels so lonely and dead. I think what I love about Demon's is that every world feels so rich and unique. I love Latria, but I'm glad we didn't just get 5 2spooky areas that were all similar.

What was it? I saw the word faggot and I knew it was bad news.
>>257344381
Same. The whole of world 1 hits me in a spot I can't quite pin point.
Don't know if it's because of the great level design, the fact that I fell in love with the game in that world, the bleak atmosphere and demise of something that once was so great, or if it's all of the above.
I fucking love this game, /v/. I really do.

I'm actually surprised this many people like Yuria better than the MiB. Why was she trapped in the dungeon again? That fat fuck.

she's pretty cute, but the MiB will always be my fave. I feel bad for Yuria though, she thinks so little of herself when in fact she is amazing.
>Favorite boss?
Dirty Colossus, a golem made of filth is pretty damn neat imo
>Favorite boss theme?
Astraea theme is a top contender of course, but i'd have to go with Phalanx theme just because it sounds so hectic like you are about to have a heart attack any second

I pick a new one each time.
Yuria.
I started up a replay recently only to find that Old Hero is actually difficult. This is the first time I've fought him with any kind of problem. Meanwhile, I fought Flamelurker and he was a total pushover because I could easily stunlock him, so it's fun to see different builds making different parts of the game hard.
>>257346739
Literally the worst NPC in the game,
Even his boss is more interesting than him. Actually his boss is like ten times more interesting than him.

>>257346869
I agree. Wish she was more important of a character, and their goals were expounded upon.
>>257347112
That armor set is ballin' too.
The answer is clear.
I just started playing this game last week and I have no idea where to go next. I've beaten 1-2 and all the first levels in the other areas. I tried doing 2-2 and got fucking wrecked by the Flamelurker. I don't do any damage, I use a +4 scimitar. Should I farm for upgrade materials? What ?-2 level do you guys recommend I do next?

>>257347425
Filthy Woman.
>>257344783
It just makes you want to hug her more.
>>257347412
If you're an Int build, that water spell helps a lot for the Flamelurker fight. Also, Ring of Flame Resistance. You should have gotten one from Patches in 2-1, and it's loot somewhere else.
>>257347496
see
>>257344363
it also pisses me off how blatantly the Emerald Herald rips off MiB's cute leg swinging.
>>257347593
That fucking bitch complains if you buy from her and if you don't. Plus, it's easy to hurt her when you're surrounded by bugs and that giant ogre.
Comfy
>>257344783
>You can't even see half of her face
That's not a negative faggot and you get to see enough of her face to tell she'd be attractive without the wax anyway
>>257347776
my first playthrough she got smashed by one of the giant troll worshipper guys. It was a sad day. Took me forever to farm the ores I needed after she died.
>>257347776
I once killed her with a Wrath of God. Felt nice
Dragon God is fully modelled

That fucking giant troll. I swear it's some kind of optical illusion, because when I approach him knowing that it's giant, it looks normal sized.

Why is this fight so underrated?
>>257348497
Cause its complete shit, like every souls last boss.
>>257348256
Pf, that's nothing. There's one guy that actually likes the Dirty Colossus. Now that's weird.
>>257348497
Is it a fight? He's never hit me.
Doran was best boss.
>inb4 he isn't a boss
>>257348418
He's also pretty nice for a dregling
>>257348497
Can you even die to him? I've never tried it.
Seeing the MiB hard at work after you kill him is enough to make anyone fall for her.
>>257348497
It's cool, but it's not even a fight really
>>257347417
And that's why the dragon bone smasher is tip down in a pile of rubble.
>>257348497
Because it's a bad fight. It's a cool story moment, but a bad fight.
It's not really the fault of the game, it's just that most people would expect the final boss to be one of the most challenging/intense encounters, although there's a good chance that a lot of people's final boss fights would be False King, which does that nicely anyway.
>>257335556
Flamelurker. Shit was intense but I turned on Super Sayin and almost beat him my first try, I was super proud of myself.
Tower Knight. I love the unusual vocals.
I wore the thief starting veil on my chick the whole game because I like pretty girls tee hee :3

Release week Demon's Souls was the fucking best. Killing The Adjucator and walking into 4-2, then immediately seeing the entire ground lit up in Summoning Signs was one of the most awe inspiring moments in gaming in a long time for me. I just knew that 4-2 was going to be a hellhole.

no. I got summoned as the old monk boss 3 times in a row the other day. I was around SL70ish I think. I even got summoned for the flamelurker too, but I got cocky and died right before he did.
>>257349398
I started a replay a few weeks ago; I actually have had more co-op on this playthrough than on any other.
Part of it is probably that I know the game pretty well so I've spent more time alive in this playthrough than in any other, but there's still people who are offering their help/invading.
>>257343875

Tower Knight has the same theme as Penetrator in some regions, otherwise Penetrator shares one with Vanguard.
>>257349668

>>257349530
Kinda makes sense. She's a symbol of false hope to a bunch of crazy starving prisoners; what better way to trick them into her being there to help them then to offer them food?

What do you say, /v/? Should we organize a fight club in 4-1 for old time's sake?
>>257347276
I don't understand people who like the Herald. She's so devoid of personality compared to the Maiden.
Also, needs thicker accent.
>>257349889
It is discouraging to know DeS seems to be dead to From
>>257349949
That is an excellent point.
>>257349586
Shrine of Storms is easily the best area.
>>257339061
This shit ignores a basic fact told to you in the opening cutscene - Losing your soul drives you mad, absorbing other souls turns you into a demon. Like, literally transforms your body into a demonic entity.
So half his assumptions are correct, the other half are messed up because he so wants to believe his "demons have possessed/taken the shape of dead humans" theory.
I told him this shit back in the DeS threads.
but there's no point in arguing over speculation.Doran is a Demon brought to life by souls that got absorbed by either his armor or Demonbrandt
Garl remains human, Astrea is a demon. Once Garl is killed his soul, much like the player, sticks around for a while in the Valley of Defilement.
Mephistopheles is JUST A GODDAMN HUMAN, JESUS. The poster got carried away with the name and his own religious beliefs.
The Japanese believe the Underworld and Heaven are one and the same, and they believe Demons and Gods are the same, and Holy and Infernal magic are all the same in nature, the difference is their use, which reflects in Demon's Souls where everything comes from the Old One, but humanity ascribes arbitrary "holy magic" and "evil magic" to them.A personal note that I like is that the highest level soul art is Inferno, meaning Hellfire, and the highest level miracle is the Wrath of God, a blinding light. So in a way, all Magics are hellish in that they either use Fire or Souls, so they can be thought of as evil.
Dark Souls took the theme of fire and ran with it, but used it in its more natural state, and less as a Christian hell
>>257349895
Ah, Tower Knight.
That fight did such a good job at capturing the 'David vs Goliath' feel.
Do you stay back and whittle down his health with arrows and magic? Or do you rush in and use your speed and agility to attack his weak spots?
>>257347425
Bilge, totally. Complete bro, wish he was around for more of the game or came back to the Nexus
>>257349989
Eh... I'm absolutely sure that DeS2 would end up getting the same treatment as DaS2 considering how underplayed it was by From's current target audience. I'm hoping that Bloodbourne marks a new beginning that avoids the DaS2 treatment.

This. You could expand upon it so well.
There's that little easter egg that Dark Souls 2 is set on the continent right next to Demon's Souls (going by Demon's Souls intro map, and the shape of the map of Dark Souls 2 lines up 100% perfectly with the right side of the Demon's Souls map).
I actually started playing a couple weeks ago. Picked Magician and am going for a caster/melee hybrid. What are the most important spells and should I buy from Freke or Yuria?

>>257350439
DaS's plot was a bit too convoluted and DaS2 barely had a plot that could be followed. DaS2 required too much guesswork. With DeS you just had to look in the right places and the plot became very clear. Also, better atmosphere and bosses than DaS and DaS2. Everything felt more inspired and original. Not to mention how the NPCs were more memorable.

I appreciate what the B team was trying to do with trying to force some kind of cohesiveness throughout the lore of all the Souls games, but it fell flat. I just want to see more of Boletaria, ideally seamlessly like the Dark Souls games. Lordran is more "fantastical", whereas Boletaria is more spartan, oppressive, and horrific.

I'd disagree; Dark Souls had a much more fleshed out world. It benefits quite a bit from having the game take place in a more tightly packed area rather than warping you across some map. I think DaS2 is the worst of the 3, but I'd be disappointed if the series returned to a bunch of disjointed areas rather than having all the key characters/lore-relevant locations be in a more cohesive area.
>>257350671

Playing Demon's Souls the first few times, it felt like the world really did want to be connected, they just had limitations. And Dark Souls before ringing the bells literally was interconnected Demon's Souls - Undead Burg and Parish were world 1, Catacombs were world 4, Blighttown world 5, Lava area after Queelag's domain was world 2.

I'll bite. Dark Souls OST is way too bombastic and full of choirs. Didn't really embody any of the bosses. Too frantic. Demon's Souls OST is atmospheric and foreboding in every way. You feel a creeping sense of dread each time.

Yeah, but in Dark Souls you're free to roam, you have no burden on you to stop the world from being destroyed/engulfed by the old one. Technically, if you didn't want to fulfill the undead prophecy that Oscar tells you, you could just leave elsewhere.(in universe, obviously not ingame)
Or dedicate yourself to a covenant or something.

I don't want to sound elitist, but I agree. I actually got into DeS because I was a huge monster hunter fan and some guy on /v/ was making threads of himself playing an imported copy of DeS.

It was right there.
>>257354789
I played DeS first, and found DaS to be superior in just about every way. I don't get people who act like the world of DeS is more interesting; worldbuilding was one of the things DaS did so much better.
>>257337751
But i just played today.
>2 years and still no pure bladestone
>>257355752
DaS is to DeS like Expendables 2 was to Expendables. Almost everything in the sequel felt like it was yanked out of the original and modeled differently. DaS was great and I loved every bit of it, but you gotta admit that it didn't feel very inspired, especially when it came to the OST.
>>257355994
>but you gotta admit that it didn't feel very inspired
I don't because that's not true; I found the world of DaS more engrossing than I ever found DeS. The soundtrack is less unique in DaS, but DeS has plenty of weak and forgettable tracks next to a few memorable ones, whereas DaS went for a more generic, "epic fantasy" soundtrack but it still keeps plenty of variety.

>>257352417
All sorts of cultures. Egyptian mummies, shinto monks; I'd say the ones in Demon's Souls are probably closest to the Catholic saints who had their bodies displayed as a sign of reverence, or maybe like the old ossuaries and charnel houses; the tribesmen kept the bodies where they could be visited and, more practically, mobilize to defend the shrine.
>>257352360
>>257352651
That's part of what makes this game so amazing. There's so much story in little details. Like... Ok, you meet these two black phantoms in Stonefang. They both have great clubs, and you find a great club on a body earlier on, next to a bunch of treasure. These guys are in the typical outfit for a barbarian. So what's that tell you? These were barbarians who came to Stonefang, maybe even as a raiding party from the north, got in long enough to swipe some treasure, then got themselves killed. It's like putting together a crime scene.
Or maybe it's all just a big co-inky-dink.
>>257357220
Wasn't the Old Hero placed there to punish him for failure or something
Every boss except for Dragon God and Storm Ruler is human in Demons Souls. They are all corrupted and writhing masses of flesh contorted by the power of demons, but all of them are human.
>>257357787
I think so. But the Old Hero was a special case as one of the judges of the dead. So maybe when he did whatever was wrong, they put him up there without reverence. I mean he didn't even have a real niche in the wall like the other bodies. Then again, it could be the skeletons are the tribesmen that passed the Adjudiciator but didn't live up to the Old Hero's standards.
>>257357853
What about Leechmonger.
He's just a big pile of leeches.
>>257351785
So, where is he exactly? Is he the one on top of a tomb or is he hanging from the wall?
Post your builds everyone!
>>257358339
Leeches attached to a person. Applying leeches to a person was considered a remedy once remember? Everything in the Valley of Defilement is based on old time medical beliefs.
>>257357853
Well, technically the Adjudicator was just a magic crow riding a deformed human.
And nobody ever figured out -where- the Armor Spider came from.
And the Old Monk was a sentient piece of fabric that required a host.
And primal demons literally just pop out of the colorless fog when world tendency is dark enough.
>>257358339
There's a theory that he's the soul of one of the knights that followed Astraea. His powers related to healing, the Leechmonger's powers relate to healing, etc. Seems like kind of a stretch to me.

Demons Souls is the fucking worst. It has the better story of the three games, but it's core gameplay and bosses are fucking ass and were improved upon in every facet in Dark Souls.
Dark Souls 2 improved even moreso with actual boss dynamic, removing poison from not only the bossfight, but areas outside of the actual boss level, using hollows to lure a boss, necromancers you have to kill in a chariot gauntlet run, a flame sword buff boss you can use holy water on to debuff, fire lamps you can turn on to make fighting more manageable, a boss you can cut the fucking arms off of.....
>>257354070
Another thing about the nexus that I really liked was the preparation aspect to it. I loved having to deposit everything, making sure I don't overburden myself; it made every journey into the archstones an epic adventure.
>>257355210

Putting "gimmick" in front of the bosses doesn't help your argument.
The bosses in DeS are arguably better than MOST of the bosses in DaS.
DaS2 is basically just fighting giant humanoid #27 over and over with slightly different movesets each time.
Also, this is why /v/ now hates the Dark Souls fanbase. You have to shit up every thread with your inane chest beating.

You said nothing to counter what I said.
Every single boss in Demons souls is an AOE spam boss with stunlock spam and a side of fries.
Penetrator was almost a good boss, until you realise it has an unblockable gimmick that makes it yet another trial and error fight (aka, come back with a magic block shield).
Go on. Explain to me how Flamelurker, a boss who literally casts 99 uses of the same exact fucking flame wog move is a good boss.
Go on, reach around for an explanation to 2 poison copy pasta blob bosses followed by a shield turtling, wog spaming npc guarding a wog spamming npc.
The only boss that doesn't cast some variant of WOG is the fucking spearblob fight, which in itself is the best boss in the game by pure default (because it teaches you how to deal with the boss in some capacity with small separate entities of it just before you fight it).
Old King Doran? With his 1 hit KO and 4000 HP instaheal and 99999 resistance?
>>257359782
>were really heavily dated
not really, the only aspect which could seem dated and frustrating is the turning speed. Everything else hold up pretty well, especially KF4:AC, the combat is tighter than skyrims, the music is as good as Demon's Souls, and the atmosphere is Demon's Souls tier. KF4 has a similar map design to DaS, in that new areas that open up end up connecting back to previous areas that you've forgotten about.

>>257360621
I played Demons Souls last, and I only died once to a boss. As I said, Penetrator. He was a good fight, but he's not a good boss because of his stupid gimmick.
The entire game I sat behind a shield and a halberd and watched the credits roll. The game has a constant and desperately obvious attempt to fein difficulty by throwing WOG spam at you. I imagine this is what alot of people died to in the beginning.
Playing it now after the other 2, it's just sad. Demons Souls is a game with the case of the levels being far better than the bosses, the bosses being a fucking stupid gimmick waste of time.
Dark Souls is a good blend of good bosses and good enemy encounters.
>>257360465

OPINIONS
>>257360909
But then why the better the mechanics and bosses get the worse the atmosphere is?
Dark Souls 2 was great but had zero atmosphere. I think the only reason Dark Souls is the best is because it's the perfect balance between the 3.Dark Souls 2 is the hardest.
>>257361059
>Dodging in Demons Souls
Oh you're fucking funny. By the way, that one time I died to the only boss I died to, Penetrator, I was dodging fine. I'd played Dark Souls 1 and 2 before it. I obviously know how to fucking dodge.
When you don't know a bosses movesets, and it has completely unblockable damage, you're going to get hit by something.
Oh, and let's not forget the stunlock grassfeasting mess the PVP is. Demons Souls love affair is pure nostalgia. It was warranted at the time, but the game has since been outclassed. Stop acting like it's amazing.
>>257360465
>You said nothing to counter what I said.
Yeah and I'm not gonna. You're already so far up your own ass about DaS nothing no one says is going to change your opinion. The fact that you feel so threatened and analy DEVASTATED because some people happen to like DeS more that you feel the need to make tl;dr rage posts in DeS threads only proves this.
Now please, keep raging. At least you're bumping the thread.

I'm quite skeptical when Miyazaki said he's making Bloodborne having the same atmosphere as Latria's, not sure how he's gonna pull it off on a Castlevania like place, that's hard to pull off I feel.
>>257361175
"I chose"
I'm sorry, there is no such thing as poise in the game. If you do not shield, you die. If you roll, you're leaving yourself open to the autistic roll mechanics that will put you off a ledge or glitch you into being stuck in a corner (which happened 5 fucking times, mostly in the valley of defilement)

And then DeSfags get into denial mode, shitposting, using buzzwords and fanny reaction faces instead of pointing why they disagree. He is right, DaS and DaS2 are better than DeS in almost everything, he could have pointed that in a more appropriate way but he's only one guy meanwhile at least 5 DeS monkeys jumped into shitposting to suck this game cock.
And it's always like this. Most DeSfags are just a bunch of elitist faggots who think they are better than someone just because they played a game they didn't.

That doesn't work they always follow you like magnets. I just use warding and tank my way through that level when I'm not using a shield.
>>257362394

It's not like anyone wants to argue with the DaSfag. We just want to keep out DeS thread with DeS discussion. What's so hard to understand?
>>257362394
If your first post in a thread is a tl;dr ragefit about how much you hate it people are going to laugh at you.
Just a heads up.
>>257362123
My theory was the the human the crow picked wanted to break free, so he tried to kill himself with his own blade. He failed, and the crow never let him go after that. The Adjudicator is a figure of legend, and he doesn't have that scar on the shield picture of him, so maybe it was the crow that started to become corrupted by the colorless fog and/or the necromancers, and when it started to consume souls is when the human attempted suicide.

Why DaSfags feel the need to come into every DeS thread and say "HURR MUH DAS" is beyond me. The fact that most people are just trying to ignore him and move on with the thread instead of feeding the troll who's mind is already made up, instead of taking time to respond to his self created debate is a GOOD thing.
This is a DeS thread. Not a DaS debate thread. No one came to talk about DaS. If you think it's so great just make a thread instead of off topic shitposting this one with your debatefagging.

>>257362832
I think, but there's nothing to support it beyond Sparkly and the Adjudicator, but I -think- that the crows on the Shrine of Storms have human level intelligence. The whole island has magical properties, so why not the crows too? That's why 'eating birds' is one of the great sins of the shadowmen as stated on the back of the shield; they manipulated the shadowmen through the Adjudicator.

The great thing about Demon's Souls was being able to invade almost from the very start of the game. I hope that comes back for Bloodborne.
