Great developers working under the guidance of Miyazaki + Sony's secret sauce

FERAM TOR A MI

Nothing

Aesthetics
World design
Level design
Changes to gameplay
Combat and especially the weapons
New feel and freshness to the souls formula not only in gameplay but lore as well
The boss fights
The absolutely amazing soundtrack

Still a really flawed game, its my favorite nonetheless.

PS4 exclusive.

It's alright. Played it back to back with DaS3 and I don't know why that one gets so much hate. They're fairly even in quality minus the graphics.

Are Demon Souls/Dark Souls 1&2 worth playing?

The setting.

If that Bloodborne 2 thing turns out true I want it to be their VR project. I just want to be in that setting more. Bring us back to first person King's Field days but in Yharnam.

>really flawed
It's not perfect but come on. It's probably the best game to release in the last ten years. I wish every game I picked up on a whim was as flawed as BB.

Lore is basically the same as every other souls game

Complaints left and right about getting good, the endings, the twist, and "Patch/Dlc When?" mostly.

Other than that just memes really

>>376459840
Something about sickdark, framerate, and loading times.

Probably by PC folks.

Faster paced games tend to get better reception. Recent From Soft games have also been selling well so that trend continues. On top of that it's pretty fun though it has its flaws

>>376461116
Masterful bait

>>376456445
What flaws? I can only see the shitty pvp that they put because soulsfags need that shit for some reason and the level design of the random generated dungeons.

EVERYTHING EXCEPT NOT PORTING IT TO PC

Frenzy is quite possibly the most retarded thing From has ever put into a video game. It's even more poorly thought out than pre-nerf Curse status in DaS1.

>HEY GUYS LISTEN 2 ME HOW BOUT WE PUT A STATUS AILMENT THAT NEVER STOPS BUILDING UP THE MOMENT IT'S APPLIED TO THE PLAYER, TAKES AWAY 90% OF THEIR LIFE BAR, AND THE ITEM THAT REVERSES SAID STATUS AILMENT IS RARE
>LMAO!!

>>376455269
Sony exclusive. Shame it really shit up the community on /v/ with memes like kino and goldface

>>376455269
Good game on a console with precisely one worthwhile game. It was pretty much guaranteed to be a success.

>>376458538
Is that an LoD glitch or do characters look like that normally?

>>376458816
>It's probably the best game to release in the last ten years.

But Dark Souls came out in the last ten years as well.

>>376466605
Dude you get 20 chances to fill your health back up, how do you even die?

>>376462928
The other two were to be expected since it's a ps4 exclusive, but sickdark is a really dumb complaint, it could be used to describe all souls games.

I don't like dark souls...there. i said it.

That somehow excuses it from being dogshit design? You literally just admitted it's nothing but a Blood Vial burn.

Ah I see your point. However, I don't believe that exclusives are the only games that are considered games on a console. And I play games on both PS4 and PC. Some things are better with a controller, others are better with mouse and keyboard. For example, I love RTS and it's retarded to play with anything other than a mouse and keyboard, despite it being available on multiple platforms (Ex. Starcraft)

>>376455269

Everything.

Especially the music.

fun game.

>>376469061
Really? Guess I wasn't bad enough to actually get hit by that extremely telegraphed attack

>>376467905
Good thing you can use a controller on pc then, so you have a choice. And you're not limited to a single company's controllers, you can play dark souls with a sideways wii remote if you want to.

>>376467905
>Some things are better with a controller, others are better with mouse and keyboard.
This has absolutely nothing to do with PC vs console, except to point out that console has the glaring flaw of not being able to properly use KB+M.

>>376470350
>>376470461
Saw this coming a mile away. I'm currently playing new vegas on my pc with a dualshock 4, I know. A major reason I own a ps4 is because my friends and I enjoy playing games together on it, and the exclusives are pretty good. Frankly I think console/pc wars are retarded, if you have a job you should be able to enjoy both.
I'm also someone who believes exclusives are counter intuitive and should be available on every platform, as long as they optimize the game on every platform. This will never happen but I'd prefer it.

>>376467817
This is a bad thing? It gives the game more of a chance to kill you by limiting how many more chances you can fuck up.

>>376455269
farming for vials is garbage design

The lore is no where near as interesting as Dark Souls.

The color palette is also muddled and that unfortunately leaked into DS3

>>376470960
In the early game it's annoying as fuck but it's nothing later on since you can just buy a fuck ton at the shop so really why is it a thing again?

>>376466905
Your point? Bloodborne blows Dark Souls out of the water.

>>376470960
You should be spending your echoes on vials instead of leveling up in the early game.

>>376455269
Great first half, bad second half, redeemed by dlc
am I talking about das1? or bb

>>376472101
>redeemed by dlc
So you need to pay again to have a good experience.

>>376472101
das, BB doesn't have a bad second half, it's the most consistent game in the series

>>376455269
Paywall kept the souls 'community' out

>>376473404
>bb doesn't have a second half
??????
>most consistent
no
>one reborn is shit
>nightmare areas are meh (amygdala was good)
>rom the retard is shit, although she was good in the chalice
>micolash is shit
>celestial emissary is shit
>mergos design and OST is amazing, shitty boss fight
>moon presence was shit
I still love bloodborne but the shilling isn't needed.
gherman, ludwig and martyr are some of my favorite bosses in the series

>>376473404
I find DeS more consistent. BB's main flaw is the horrible Chalice dungeons.

>>376473687
>nightmare areas are meh

menesis is not "meh", neither is frontier, they're great

>Rom is shit

looks like someone didn't git gud

>although good in chalice

same fucking fight

>micolash is shit
great first time around, harmless in repeated playthroughs and easily delt with

>celestial emissary is shit
if it was the final boss of the area sure but there is an actual boss right after so it's fine

>mergo shitty boss fight
it was too easy I'll give you that, but it wasn't shitty

>moon presense was shit
lore battle, that's like saying old king is shit

the only valid point is one reborn, which takes up like 5 minutes at most

Even if you consider all of these points, it's still more consistent than the likes of the other souls games. Don't even get me started on DaS1/2/3's shit, DeS is pretty consistent as well

>>376473843
>chalice dungeons

the ones you don't have to do ever?

>>376473687
I can only agree with the celestial emissary being bad. Everything else is pretty good.

>>376473965
>the ones you don't have to do ever?
How does that excuse them from being terrible?

>>376473965
I actually really like chalice dungeons, and I agree bb has its flaws imo but das2 is kil

>>376474079
because they are not part of the main game, that's like calling DeS inconsistent because of colorless demon souls farming. Actually even that would be more valid since it can affect the main game

>>376474089
I do too, and I do think BB has flaws but a lot less than the souls games

>>376474410
What does that even mean? There's a lot of optional shit in the games, like DLC or NPC quests. Should I discount all of that as well and only say they're consistent or inconsistent only given the obligatory straight line to the end?

The dungeons are a steaming pile of shit, and bring down the game.

>>376474785
>Should I discount all of that as well and only say they're consistent or inconsistent only given the obligatory straight line to the end?

ya, the required sections far more important in determining consistency than optional ones. DaS1 wouldn't get as much shit if izalith was skipable or various areas with DaS2

>>376473965
>these bosses are shit
>nu uh

>>376475072
I'm glad you agree, actual shit bosses are bed of chaos or congregation

>>376475223
>t.Moon Presence is bad because it's supposed to be

what's a good level to start The Old Hunters?
