3=dark souls 3
I agree.

>>376742756
I don't like to list BB together with the Dark Souls games, because it's not strictly a 'Dark Souls' game, and the gameplay, world etc differs in such a significant manner from Dark Souls. I don't think it's a fair or meaningful comparison at all.

>>376740908
So what exactly is this image trying to convey?

>>376740194

The problem with the Souls community on /v/ is these subhuman nostalgia cucks and platform loyalists, all of you deserve to be shot in the head.

Once people accept the objective rankings, we can move on and discuss the games individually, untill that happens, I will remind everyone, everyday, of the objective and intellectually honest rankings of Souls games:

BB:TOH > DaS3:TFFE > DaS:PTDE > DaS2:SOTFS > DeS

There is no denying this, this is a fact.

>>376744031

Also is better than DaS2.

Because the DLC is the best part of all souls games now.
Also if we are just talking core gameplay then DaS3 would actually beat DaS1.
I still think we should look at everything.

>>376740194
What the hell does redditfied mean? What the hell does reddit even mean?
Why is everything reddit? Does this mean if reddit likes it then it's trash?

>>376745135
Yeah, and I agree about 3, but DaS2 gameplay is offensively bad. It's fucked. No level design for a change or a slightly less terrible boss will ever compensate a broken base.

>>376745289
You are 100% right. DaS2 definitely deserves the bottom spot that isn't even a question to me.

I never agreed with someone this much on /v/
I feel like we should find something we disagree on and call each other faggots because agreeing this much seems so weird.

>be a pcbro
>enjoy Bloodborne Leftovers: The Charm Fades Edition more than Dark Souls 1 and 2
I don't know if I should hate myself for this.

>>376740194
You wouldn't be saying they are the best if they weren't exclusive.

BloodBorne is almost as bad as DaS3 desu.

>>376744120

Dark Souls 1 only has better world interconnectivity than Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls 1 suffers from drop in quality and unfinished later levels that are horrible: Demon Ruins, Lost Izalith and Crystal Caves. Dark Souls 1 has the worst boss of the entire franchise, one of the worst, Bed of Chaos.

Dark Souls 1 has 3 god tier bosses:
- Ornstein and Smough
- Artorias
- Kalameet

Dark Souls 3 has 10 god tier bosses:
- Abyss Watchers
- Pontif Sulyvahn
- Champion Gundyr
- Nameless King
- Lothric and Lorian
- Soul of Cinder
- Sister Friede and Father Ariandel
- Two Demons; Demon Prince
- Darkeater Midir
- Slave Knight Gael

Dark Souls 3 has better gameplay because it doesn't have poise. Poise was never a good mechanic, it was a boring, OP and very exploitable mechanic that Miyazaki disliked, that is why he moved away from it with Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3. Poise is never coming back, I am glad, any future dark fantasy ARPG From Software will make, will never ever have the broken poise and easy mode shield abuse, get over it.

>I see you haven't played it in a long time
I regularly replay all Souls games except DaS2.
DeS is still better. The core gameplay is still good.
It has better bosses and level design.

I take a shorter and good experience over a longer DaS2 shit game.

>>376745478
I don't know. I think it's how I dropped the game halfway through NG+ when it finally hit me it wouldn't get any better (coming straight from SL1 marathons to pass time until release certainly didn't help) while apparently most people persisted well into the few hundred hours. They began to rationalize the mechanic choices. I usually get shit when I start tearing gameplay apart even in DaS2 hate threads. Or maybe I'm just more of a gameplay guy while others get off to setting and visuals. How did your experience go?

Your argument would stand if we were talking about vanilla DaS2, but it just isn't true anymore. DaS2:SOTFS fixed a lot of things and it increased the quality of the games. The 3 DLC areas are fantastic and because of those, the game is bestter than DeS.

Dark souls 2 is the best in the series. Bloodborne is the worst.

Bloodborne did exactly 3 things well, the setting was fresh, the combat was fast and the movesets were deeper than Souls, if fewer in number.

I like DaS 2, but that's objectively not true.

DaS 1 = DaS 2 (thanks to DLC and not having a zone as bad as Izalith) > Bloodborne = DaS 3 > DeS

>>376746341
>How did your experience go?
I really tried to like it.
The early parts irritated me but I ignored everything bad.
I told myself I was just using the wrong weapon or build and I would find one that is fun to play.

But the game lost me a little bit with each new boss. Because most of them were really bad.

>>376744031
This. Nostalgiafags will act like DeS and DaS are the best because it's the only ones they have played but BB and 3 has the easily the best level design, core gameplay, and bosses in the series.

>dat meltdown when project beast was leaked on /v/
NEVER EVER FOREVER

>>376740194

I'm playing through BB right now and it's just souls-lite with no shields.

Also what the fuck is up with the stamina, I can spam dodges all day and I've barely leveled up the stat for it.

No.

I played the 3 dlc areas. And while they are better than the main game level design wise they don't have great bosses or fix the core gameplay.

>>376746856

DaS3? Really? Remove about 75% of the bonfires and then maybe.

Level up adp

>>376747035
DaS3 bonfires are designed assuming you explore everything in the area before reaching them. Don't rush it and they make sense.

Both games have terrible levels though. Smouldering Lake, Hemwick, Byrgenwerth, Irythill Dungeon etc...

>>376747320
>Level up adp
I did.

DaS2 is the worst one with all stats and everything. Its shit on so many levels.

I play like that.
They don't make sense to me.

DaS2 was basically a side project for From

DaS3 is the weakest souls game
DaS2 is the second weakest souls game
DaS1 has the most replayabillity
BB has the best atmosphere/lore/combat/ost
DeS has the best NPCs

>>376747373
Really? Try the dead zone fix mod. I've never had any problems with the core gameplay in Dark Souls 2 but I heard that's a major game changer for people who have a problem with it.

>worst stats
For all the things Dark Souls 2 did wrong, stats definetly aren't one of them

Enjoy your 3 days vacation.

>>376740194

Demons Souls played about as clumsy as it was to pronounce. Only people who look at it as a classic are people who got into the series by playing Dark Souls and think its "so cuul".

Game was mediocre at best.

DaS3 is more accurate. I would remove Friede and Midir, though.

>>376747614

>>people don't mind the Underground Corpse Pile-> Research Hall and Astral Clock Tower -> Fishing Hamlet disconnects
What is wrong with that?

Good bosses
DeS: None
DaS: None
DaS2: None
DaS3: Gael
BB: Ludwig, Orphan of Kos

>>376747825
But the grand archives just has one bonfire and is actually the best level with shortcuts and shit

Or do you mean the Old Dragonslayer bonfire sitting next to it? That I can ignore. The connection between those isn't a level to me.

Perfect, except I'd argue that BB is at least as good as DaS if not even the best in the series.

>>376749813
The linearity of BB turns me off from it.DaS has the whole world open except AL/Nito/Lost Izalith and Archives at the game start.

BB has every area locked except Yharnam at game start. Then after you clear that you only have Old Yharnam open (or farm 10k souls lmao) then finally you have Grand Cathedral open which only lets you access Hemwick.

I hate BB's and DaS3's linearity. I understand why the did it because normies/casuals get lost easily/don't know where to go but it really ruins the world for me. The same way Shrine of Winter ruined DS2 for me, but in that game's defense it had more areas open at the start than BB and DS3 combined.

PCfats literally coined the term "artificial difficulty" because they were to fucking bad to beat Capra Demon
