Man, being humiliated by a leftist cunt like Hbomberguy... There's just no coming back from that.

Unsubbed.

He just sounds so... lifeless.
I don't know if it's because he's trying to sound professional but it really sounds like he's going through the motions.

Actually now that I've watched it, I agree 100% and always wondered if anyone else felt like I did.

Demons Souls really was the peak of the franchise because they actually tried new things and focused on having a good varied experience instead of just fan-pandering. With Dark Souls and on, they decided to put the fans and publishers in the driving seat resulting in things like every single boss fight becoming another Flamelurker. Like, yeah guys, Flamelurker was a nice fight, but I don't to fight him and Allant every single fucking time.

The video was actually pretty good. From doesn't know how to make fucking sequels, doesn't seem to know what made a game good

Everything that needs to be said about the Souls games has been said already, it's been 8 years since DS and 6 since DaS, let it go.

>there are "people" who will unironically watch some potato nigger ramble on about soulshit for 10 hours

It was a great video, Fromsoft should just work on something else. Also what he says applies to Nioh too.

>>381461658
>In Demon Souls repeated death increases enemy stats and eventually spawn black phantoms

Is this true? I died plenty of times it never happened to me

>>381462627
He's actually bashing the Souls series in the video.

>>381465724
The point of the video is that Souls isn't unique. Not anymore.

Pretty good review.

There's a reason why people's first Souls game is usually their favorite. None of them really bring all that much to the table, although the series as a whole is pretty different from everything else out there.

I'm playing Bloodborne right now and I just feel like I've seen it all before. I hoped lack of shields, deeper weapons and the new healing mechanic would bring back some of the feelings I had when playing Demon's Souls for the first time, but instead I just feel like its another Soul's game.

Yeah, Matt's certainly the one in the right here.

Hbomberguy is a leftist prick, but even you have to agree that Matt's just no good at games. Or critique.

>>381461658
>Matthew dunks hard on the entire Souls community
Fuck, he's never been this brutal.

>>381465910
>Is this true?

Yes, but when you die in human form.

Every time you die in human form inside a level the tendency of the world goes further to black tendency when it's full black the phantoms appear.
That's why there is a hint to you kill yourself in the nexus after you killed a boss, so you go back to ghost form and you don't affect any tendency, there is also tendency events that happen with full black and full white tendency.

Why are you so ugly?

>>381465910
Only if you're offline and in human form, since it alters the world tendency if you are online the tendency changes to the online one.

>>381466335
just some bosses (some of them final) and some gimmicks associated with them.

>>381466567
Reminder that Matthew has a qt submissive Irish gf who cooks for him while this guy has feminist allies who will never see him as a man.

>>381466335
If you are going for a blind playthrough he talks about some bosses of each game.

>>381466335
He points a few moments from each of the games, but nothing major. He does talk about the last bosses in Das1 and Demon's though.

>>381466335
It's just a courtesy thing. He's the kind of person who won't even look up trailers for games he'll play, in fear of being spoiled literally anything. So, he puts seemingly unnecessary spoiler warnings just in case there are people like him watching.

>>381462627
He never said he was done with Souls, he just didn't want to play Dark Souls 3 until there was a complete edition.

>>381465684
He said in that past that DeS is probably the best in the franchise but his personal favorite is DaS.

Closed it as soon as he said that souls combat doesn't have depth, especially bloodborne?. What a joke.

>>381466773
To be fair, nobody will ever consider him a man.

This is the reason why I could never finish Dark Souls 3. You can only play the same game with the same bosses and the same unsolved problems each time before you get tired of it all.

One of his best videos yet. As much as I want to hear his complete take on Dark Souls 3, I'd be fine if this was the last Souls video he did. I think we can all again that videos regarding the series are beginning to get as tiring as the games themselves

Why do people dislike Hbomberguy? He really helped show me just how fucking stupid Sargon and his ilk were, and his videos are actually pretty entertaining and informative.

How is he wrong? Literally every bossfight that's not a gimmick boils down to "press the roll button when the boss is about to attack, then press r1 once while the boss is in a recovery animation." Literally two fucking buttons are all there is to these games, you want something with depth play a fighting game.

Thank god I never actually scripted a Demon's Souls video because this literally would have been it, to the letter

drink every time he says "experience"

I don't think there is a more cancerous franchise than Souls. It brought us git gud spergs, video essays came into fashion through Souls's scholars and their patreons, every other indieshit started namedropping it and ruining what could have been fun nes gameplay with idiotic 2D posturing from these shit games. It also killed Armored Core and became to video games what "Lovecraftian" is to literature.

Yeah I thought so too for the first 5 minutes. Then I noticed he never actually disproves anyone wrong. Just crosses his arms and says "but someone else said you're a racist/sexist and they're inherently right". His "takedown" of Matosis is laughable.

No, it's mechanically uninteresting and the Zelda style puzzle bosses makes it boring as hell on a repeat run.
All the other games still have you pay attention to win a fight instead of pulling levers to kill a boss or equipping something to make the boss unable to detect you.

Demon's Souls lost arts aren't lost, they were failed experiments. Nobody wants more non bosses like Asteea and BoC.

>>381469168
I don't play Dark Souls, so I'm not inclined to put either of them above the other. Matthew's video is more calculated yet can come off as somewhat fanboyish and rigid, while Hbomb's is more about his emotions and his Bloodborne playstyle scrubbing of "shields are for losers". (also, his "game design>world coherency" tangent really made me feel conflicted.)

Still, it is worth noting that the guy who made a response video to Hbomberguy's DS2 video also ended up retracting his criticisms in another video.

>>381468953
DS3 has DS2's "confirm animation" backstabs that can miss, so it's a lie that they were not fixed.
BB's backstabs were just an effort to make it less like DS and force players to parry more.

>souls games should have more gimmick bosses that are totally separate from the game mechanics you've learned and improved at while playing the rest of the game

I thought Matt was supposed to understand basic game design. His whole argument here seems to be "Demons' Souls did some weird stuff and that's why it's the best, even though half that shit didn't really work and resulted in it not being very popular"

>>381469783
the 2 & 3 backstabs are still awful, bloodborne is the only game that had good bs mechanic.

No, there's plenty of puzzle bosses in both DS2 and DS3, they're just mediocre or decent at best while the main attractions. And at worst we get garbage like Yhorm and Wyvern.

You don't have to be Captain Neutral on every single issue, but being unable to understand where other people are coming from just makes you look immature.
I think it's because you get more epenis points for winning arguments, but ignored if you try to rationally understand a conflict of interests.

She's neat and novel the first time through, but nobody looks forward to doing a new playthrough of Demon's Souls so that they can fight her again. Gimmick bosses based on an "experience" are only good for that first time, there's no joy in fighting them again because the difference in your build, approach to the game, or increased ability to play the game well makes any difference if the boss consists of "do the gimmick, kill the boss"

BB's backstabs are unusable on 90% of the enemies and 99.99% of PVP encounters.

The point is that DeS and DS1 had instant bullshit backstabs that evolved into hit confirm animation backstabs so his point of "issues they were never addressed" is moot. BB is just an offshoot experiment.

Speak for yourself.
I find they add a layer of immersion to the game that greatly enhances the experience.

Yeah I can't get my ADD satisfaction fix by roll spamming and memorizing iframes like I can fighting bosses in 3, but I can get an emotionally satisfying experience out of it.
I can fight a boss like Tower Knight and say "yes, this is the way a regular-sized human WOULD fight a gigantic metal monster. He couldn't kill it just by stabbing it in the feet until it suddenly dies."

NO Souls game has bosses that are as fun to return to as they were the first time other than a few exceptions. Once you know how to beat a boss, you know how to beat it forever.
But only in Demon's Souls can I fight a boss without thinking "how the fuck is my guy killing this thing with a sword that is, by all means, a toothpick to said boss?"

>>381469243
>DeS
>more unfinished that DaS1

At least DeS straight up scrapped its unfinished shit rather than stapling a bunch of half-finished levels into the game.

Glad Matt called out the unconvincing delay in attack animations serving no purpose beyond tricking you with something unrealistic. Aside from damage sponge enemies, that's easily the worst thing that's happened since DaS2 and on.

>>381469845

>>381470089
He played a videogame series. I also played that videogame series. Did I put as much time into them or make youtube videos like Matt? No, but that doesn't somehow mean that his opinions are automatically correct.

I understand his viewpoint, he seems to have wanted the series to go in a very different direction from Demon's onwards that it did. He seems to have wanted a medieval fantasy tour of interesting one off experiences and instead the series delved into the depths of the mechanics and the challenge. It's his setting up this argument that beating bosses that rely on the player learning their telegraphed attacks and overcoming them as somehow a less interesting, rewarding, or immersive experience than "The boss kills itself how CRAZY AND UNEXPECTED" that irks me.

But that doesn't really hold up when you're still killing every other enemy in the game said toothpick, and the bosses just ignore that mechanic in favor of "Use the magic lightning sword that instantly slices through the air and destroys its health" or "Run through the conveniently timed breaths of fire to pull the Kill The Boss switch".

>>381466596

Considering how laggy most pvp's are, backstab shouldn't be possible in them, they are just bad.

Yes, dodging is included there. As well as timing your attacks, getting used to the animations of your preferred weapon, making use of your various resources for buffing or healing (or sometimes damage types, depending on boss), etc. Basically using the action and RPG elements to overcome enemies. These are the things you learn and use during the main gameplay loop of exploring the areas, and what good is a boss if it ignores all that in favor of a one off gimmick you'll never see again?

>>381470039
>And it's another to say
>>"Everyone who didn't like the new Ghostbusters trailer was probably just a smelly neckbeard who couldn't get laid...etc etc

But he didn't say that. He said that Thunderf00t and Davis Aurini were blowing up the issue and taking offense at completely innocent details, and that they were also using the Ghostbusters remake as a jumping-off point to complain about women/"THE EEEEEEEVUL FEMINAZIS COMING TO TAKE YER PORN AN VIDYAGAEMS AWAY".

And none of them exceed the size of, say, Vanguard, and Vanguard can very reasonably be called small enough to be killed with a sword.
Fuck, look at Adjudicator. They SPECIFICALLY made it only weak in the head and in a gash in its body because it wouldn't make fucking sense to slash it to death.

And why the fuck wouldn't a boss die to a magic fucking wind scar sword straight out of Inuyasha? That entirely makes sense.
It's a sword you find in that area because it was probably a sword created to kill the Storm King in the first place.
And, like Matthew said, not all of them are good examples. Dragon God is a pretty boring instance of it. But I'd find it a lot less satisfying to immersion to literally kill a dragon god with a toothpick.

At the end of the day yeah Dragon God sucks, but making it into a bland action boss fight would have been no better.
That's the point Matthew is making, that action boss fights need to have something special to them or else they're just meh.
Hell maybe a regular fight with Dragon God could have been amazing but I highly doubt it.

>>381470728

In Matthew's E3 recap live stream he commented on this.

He said that he only does videos if the script and commentary comes easily for him and if he feels like he's "into it", but every time he tried doing Dark Souls 3 he could never get into it and wasn't passionate about what he was saying he he scrapped it. He said that he definitely can go back and make it some day but he doesn't know when.

I agree with Matthewmatosis on a lot of things, but he's an elitist in the purest form.

Micolash is an absolute chore of a fight. I like the aesthetics and charm of the thing, but when it comes to pure gameplay, it's absolutely horrible. You're just pressing the sprint button. He even says this two minutes after mentioning how all you do is spam dodge.

Dodging? In an action RPG?
Avoiding damage?
Nonsense!

It's that and the wild flailing of recent bosses that I can't stand about Souls right now.

DS2 and DS3 have plenty of gimmicks injected into the fights, even from the start.
Like the balistas in the Pursuer fight that you can use with a friend or by yourself if you're good at parrying him in the right spot.

The 2 parts of the arena you can raise for Dragonrider if you're having problems with with him as a noob. Or not raise them and trick him into falling if you know the timing.

How come these aren't brought into question, since they're esentially DeS style gimmicks but not forced in your face, unlike DeS'.

It's called "being a human being". and "moving on". Christ, I remember when I thought fucking Thatanimesnob was good. Still, you've given me no reason to think that Hbomb is dumb, so why should I believe you?

>>381471928
>when it comes to pure gameplay
>Dodging? In an action RPG?

That's his entire point. The games are not deep in terms of gameplay. There's really fuck all when it comes to choice in the way you fight basically any enemy in the game, unless that enemy has a specific gimmick.
What the fuck would be the point of a fight with Micolash where they just stick you in a room and have you fight him? Because that's the alternative.

It would be absolutely no different than a regular NPC invasion.

Oh wait remember the invasion boss in Demon's Souls that actually had a cool gimmick, an interesting atmosphere, and lore behind it that made it make sense?
Because THAT is what makes a mechanically uninteresting boss memorable.

That's why Micolash is memorable. Because he doesn't try to feign mechanical depth, he's just a logically cohesive boss that does something interesting, AKA running the fuck away when he's outmatched and trying to get an advantage on you.
Just because the internet has convinced you that Souls is le ebin hard and totally hardcore doesn't mean you don't have to actually take a second and realize that you've learned zero (0) new core mechanics to combat since Demon's Souls.

I find his comment about them breaking convention with Allant disingenuous in a time where western games are starting to ditch the concept of bosses entirely, let alone final bosses, and that False King is right before that fight and is clearly meant to be the "real" final boss and true test of your skills. It's like saying Nyx Avatar isn't the final boss of Persona 3 and therefore it breaks the convention of an epic final boss fight.

Wow, it sure is a detriment to the design of the game that you can only do a big fat animation locked critical attack on a few of the enemies in the game, and you can virtually never do what is essentially a stealth attack as a reward for sneaking up on someone against a player who is there specifically to fight you and has their view fixated on you at all times.

Explain to me how Dragon God negates from the game. Because the problem with Dragon God is that he's just too easy.
They gave you too many safe places to hide and the way you kill him is a little too simplistic.
The issue is that the way you kill him feels too unbelievable, like you shouldn't be able to kill a dragon god in such a simple way, but at least it's an attempt.

Oh y'know, kinda like killing Ceaseless Discharge by slapping his hand or killing a fucking giant evil lava demon by SLAPPING HIS HAND.
Except this time with shit trash mechanics and you can actually die if the boss decides to just knock you into a tiny pool of lava in the back.
Let's wave goodbye to all sense of atmosphere and immersion because we needed to have a """mediocre""" boss fight here.

I won't defend Bed of Chaos, because you know what? That's an example of how such a thing ACTUALLY goes wrong.
It's a simplistic puzzle fight except full of instant death pits.
It's the exact opposite extreme as Dragon God, they made a fight with no mechanical depth WAY too easy to die on.

Oh but guess what, Bed of Chaos is in Dark Souls. One of the games being criticized for not learning any lessons from Demon's Souls. Good example dude.

>>381473053
None of that stuff defies videogame conventions in a meaningful way though.

>>381472412
I think his "the gameplay isn't very deep" argument is pretty, well, shallow to be honest. He seems to focus entirely on the options and synergy of moves and combos you have (or in the case of the latter, lack) and totally ignores the extent to which the enemy and bosses design factors into that. No Souls combat isn't very interesting if you're smacking around a defenseless dummy trying to show off sick combos like you might for a character action game or a fighting game. But it is interesting when you combine the simple and solid feeling combat and animations with a wealth of weapon options, and put it up against enemies with a variety of punishing, but fairly telegraphed, attacks, not to things like encounter design in the areas themselves. When examining your characters own personal moveset in a bubble you could say that the gameplay lacks depth, but that's because you're ignoring everything around it.

Honestly between this and Matt's other recent Souls videos I kind of question why he likes the series at all outside of some of its more novel features as he doesn't seem to enjoy a lot of the facets of these games that makes the fans enjoy them so much

>>381468863

There is no real "dating" in Persona. You can have a girlfriend but she behaves the same as your regular friends.

I don't like dark souls 3 but bloodborne does a lot of right

>>381471181
Only the heaviest weapons have animations you'd have to "get used to", for every other weapon it's a matter of just hitting the boss when it's open, which it will be after you dodge its attack or string. Healing is exactly the same as attacking. You see an opening, but you press a different button to make your hp number go up instead of the boss's hp number go down. Buffing is never necessary, but all it is is making your damage go up, and occupies the same space. There are no separate skills at play for deciding when to attack, heal, or buff.

You look at the boss, you dodge it until there's an opening, you use that opening to
>hurt it
>heal yourself
>buff yourself
then you continue to dodge it until there's another opening, wherein you can now hurt it again, hurt it without fear of being caught by your previously low health, or hurt it harder now in exchange for not hurting it last time.

Bosses with gimmicks can do unconventional things without abandoning these tenets, and in better cases, use these mechanics but don't put them on such a rigid loop.

He sure enjoys talking about how he "feels" about these games. I don't know anything about him, but I'm guessing, that he really likes changing his opinion depending on what he's currently playing.
Which is not bad until people start using his videos as some sort of argument

>>381466449

>>381473286
>and put it up against enemies with a variety of punishing, but fairly telegraphed, attacks
This is his main point of contention, he feels like the variety in the bosses is starting to fade away as the series progresses. Which leads to the lack of depth in the combat mechanics to stand out more, because the series is making them a bigger focus and leaning on them more often to carry the game.

Don't listen to these other fags. Persona 3 is great, but it has some big flaws that might turn you away.
Persona 4 fixes those flaws, but it's overall a much more bland game. Very good for getting into the series though (and then later getting into real SMT because fuck Persona).

P5 I haven't even played but it seems pretty good, seems like it fixes a lot of the issues with P3 and 4.
I don't know that it has the same atmosphere and heart as P3 though.

>as he doesn't seem to enjoy a lot of the facets of these games that makes the fans enjoy them so much
Because the subjective experience of the entire series for those of us who started with Demon's Souls is different than someone who started with, say, Bloodborne. It's not about "getting into it before it was cool", the fundamental expectation of the later games is a harder than average action game, git gud memes, "lore" YouTubers and PVP -- the further you go back into the past it's about weird and dangerous worlds and unconventional game design.

>>381461658
>More souls content

This meme game needs to die. Look, it was fun, no doubt but for fuck's sake it's a dead horse now. Let it die. This guy is just trying to bank on a ravenous and autistic fanbase.

>>381473714
He wants to play SMT1 and 2 first but I get the feeling he'll drop them like he did Strange Journey, then feel unqualified to do a series.

>>381474363
I did start with Demon's Souls though, and I vehemently disagree with Matt's views in this video. The things I liked about that game most are precisely what From has capitalized on and focused on going forwards, while it seems to be the opposite for him. This isn't some "the old boys vs. the new kids" thing, it's just different views on a game/series

>>381473932
10/10 opinion.

>>381461658
I'm glad that you're making videos that are more focused on an argument (and also more personal) rather than 40 minute IGN reviews, but a lot of the stuff you said in this video is fucking stupid

in 2017, there are still people who don't claw grip to play Souls.

>>381473932
But Matthew likes BB far more than DaS2 and 3.

An easy way to tell whether your opinion of the franchise counts is if you think difficulty was ever its main draw.

Demons Souls was NEVER marketed as a retro-style hardcore difficult game. This was a persona created by the reviewers and fans after its release. Appealing to these people is the cancer which killed the series.

>yfw Kingdom Hearts II is more complex than Dark Souls

>>381474792
Except it's never tried to appeal to that ideal, it's just that the marketing became focused on that because that's what the game was known for.

The game has actually become less difficult with each entry and has focused more on being aesthetically unique polished action games, and it's gotten way better with each entry.

>>381474792
It was never marketed as anything, it as a no name dark fantasy RPG that was sent out to fail and people judged it for what it was. And guess what, it was a challenging game.

This fag is like Mr enter
They are both retarded and have no clue what they are talking about

I love Micolash but you have to admit, his bossfight is tedious as all fuck.

>>381474687

But I dont, Bloodborne is a mediocre action game and ive been saying this since it was released

Dark souls 2 sucks mad dick and no amount of anti-matthew videos will change that. Nothing will. Dark souls 2 will forever be the universally agreed-on inferior entry in the series because it sucks more dick than the other games.

The dating sim aspect is massively overblown. If anything, I was disappointed by how they didn't expand on it more for P5. There is a social sim aspect that plays a fairly major role in it, but ti fits in the game well and they're typically just nice little side stories that offer you benefits in the dungeon crawling as well. They are most definitely good games, though 3 and 4 have bad dungeon crawling, but they're not for everybody. Other Megami Tensei games are also worth checking out.

>>381474937
Persona has maybe 1/1000th the complexity of Pokemon.

>>381472913
The video talks about having the same areas in each Souls game where it was cool and new the first time but boring and tedious by DaS3, yet he has no idea that Sen's funhouse is just the Souls version of KF4's ocean fort, which was probably also just a revision of a similar area from a previous game. He talks about DeS having boss fights that were combat challenges and boss fights that were gimmicks more about the experience and how that variety made things interesting and the later games dropped that, but has no idea that Shadow Tower Abyss already did the same thing, along with unpredictable NPCs and the consequences of seemingly minor decisions.
In short he's praising DeS for being innovative when DeS itself is just derivative of FromSoft's earlier games.

>His favorite boss in Bloodborne is Micolash

How fucking contrarian can you fucking get? Just because it "defies conventions" by running away doesn't make him a good fucking boss. The main issue with Micolash is that he turns into a traditional fight multiple times during the encounter, and those fights are just fucking awful. When you actually fight him he does nothing interesting and you can just R1 spam him into oblivion like every other enemy in the game. Really unique stuff.

He also seems incapable of accepting that people enjoy things he doesn't. His rant against people wanting "honorable" pvp was fucking childish.

>>381462196

The problem with this guy is that he's a storyfag.

He talks too much about a game's story and not enough about it's mechanics.

>>381475231
next he is going to mock it as "Rock-paper-scissors" when Pokemon goes deeper than that

>>381462780
He's said that he won't ever do anything about MGSV, because there is just nothing to say apparently. Breath of the Wild he said would get a video after the second DLC comes out, DS3 he probably won't do a video about because he doesn't seem to even like the series anymore.

>>381475372
He's a wanna be writer
His books are terrible
I'm a writer myself and let me tell you, writers are the worst kind of scum

They have that behavior of, I'm going to go out of my way to say that I'm not a better writer than anyone else, but of course they think they are, so why say shit like that?

For example, I know I'm a good writer and I would never say I suck just to seem more humble or some shit

>>381475558
But I fucking hate pvp.

>>381475231
Only in multiplayer.

>>381462464
You go with the guy who made a something awful forum post about how Kill La Kill was fighting both capitalism and the patriacrchy and has major guilty about being on Metokur. Ill go with the review who is smarter and is not a literal contrarian.

I mean holy fuck the guy liked No Mans Sky and thought Dark Souls 2 bringing you back to Majula after finishing it was some sort of Meta-Narrative. Or as the smarmy cunt would call it "Ludo-Narrative consistency" or some shit.

>>381461658
>mocking most bosses in BB when many of them follow the "gimmick" he complains are missing
At least he was spot on about the combat being garbage in all souls games and mocking PvP boyscouts.

>>381471974
>Is this applies to Armored Core aswell?
I don't think so, AC significantly reinvented itself with each numbered subseries, so certain improvements wouldn't necessarily carry over well to different entries. The Souls games are significantly more similar to each other in mechanics than AC3 is to AC4.

>Never marketed as anything
>Special edition of Dark Souls 1 is called "Prepare to Die Edition"

It's a self aware meme game that dangles a low hanging fruit of "lol it's so hard only true gamers can beat this game xDDD"

This is why it marketed so well. Faggots were bragging that they beat this 'super hard throwback game" essentially comparing their dicksizes. No doubt they are fun games but they aren't hard. They are marketed as hard and require some patience, that's all. The brain dead fanbase is worse than fucking undertale because at least that fanbase is just joyful. Here you got faggots literally talking shit about a primarily single player game and disregarding any opinion with the excuse of "you never beat the game so how would you know?!" or more accuracte "you never reached X benchmark so your opinion doesn't count"

The fanbase is cancer. The game is a meme. And the publisher is a genius for taking advantage of this faggy "lel hardcore gamer bro" mentality

>>381473053
Those things are basically very negligible options that will never even occur to most people because the fights are perfectly doable without them. The snakes are just another thing to dodge from. I do like the things with BSB and Amelia, but those too are pretty negligible. A better way of preventing Amelia from healing is to just not run away from her.

>>381475353
Yeah, it's fun, funny, and memorable that the boss runs from you, and the few times you corner him in a room you just relentlessly pound his ass because he's not a fighter. It's one of the most memorable parts of Bloodborne, and I can say this as somebody whose favourite boss in the game is the far more conventional Ludwig. You seem to have a bit of a case of being incapable of accepting that people enjoy things you don't yourself.

>>381475342
I know DeS was heavily influenced by King's Field but the two play almost nothing alike and aren't even in the same genre.

The examples you listed are vague concepts that are used in multiple games, but the examples Matthew provided are often straight up retreads of fairly specific things; like shithole swamp areas with movement-impeding water.

>>381474792
I think Namco is to blame here, around the Artorias DLC they really ramped up the marketing and turned the difficulty into a meme ("Prepare to Die" edition etc). It's like a PR committee dictated all the points the games need to hit, turning it into cynical self-tribute and fanservice. The absolute nadir was the hags in DS2 that tell you how you will die over and over again because you're in a hardcore game now.

>>381474919
He said he was on sector F or something, but Strange Journey got vastly overrated as a backlash against SMT IV. The series' difficulty has been notoriously easy to break since the first game so bringing Ouroburos up is pretty weak.

Blown the fuck out.

>>381475727
Just because the actual game is easy doesn't mean the complexity disappears. Also, the single player game still requires more strategical thinking than Persona even with as easy as it is now.

>>381475848
But we're not talking about Dark Souls marketing, we're talking about Demon's Souls marketing. Which was basically nothing, but the fact that the game was challenging was clearly noticed by players and the devs picked up on that. I don't see why that's so offensive to you

>>381472937
>okay, why do you think hbomb is good? and likewise tell me what you liked about sargon and thatanimesnob

Okay, first, I've never watched any of sargon's content. I've tried to a couple of times, but it was always in one ear, out the other after 5 minutes.

Second...I don't really know why I like hbomb. He just makes videos that I think are entertaining and make me feel smarter for watching them. Plus watching them back to back with Threadbareinc's videos, a man who literally changed my worldview with his Deus Ex and Bioshock Infinite LPs, made me really sympathize with his stance, even though I was a pretty big Internetaristocrat fan back during the height of Gamergate. Also helps that hbomb is a far softer and way mellower speaker than people like TGWTG.

I think I liked Snob because he gave me anime recommendations (seriously, without him I probably would've never watched Utena, LOGH, FMAB or Tatami Galaxy) and made videos talking about shows I was interested in but was too squeamish to watch. Maybe it was also because his calling Fate Stay Night a "porn game" gave me another excuse to hate FE13 some more. But then I read a thread on 4chan (http://desuarchive.org/a/thread/130533341) decrying him as a lazy, ignorant piece of shit and explaining to me why he was, and I realized (after rewatching his skype chat video with Digibro) that the accusations were pretty much all true.

>>381475372
It's game dependent. His first series was literally just him talking about design problems he had with DaS1 and at the end he just offhandedly mentioned he didn't buy into its "story" at all.

Run King's Field 4 at 2x speed and add rolling and you have DeS. They're not that different at all, and in DeS was regularly touted as a successor to King's Field back during its time of release.

None of the souls games are hardcore at all

>>381461658
Love it, he dropped some serious truth bombs. I'm kind of surprised he was so negative (it's been a while) but I guess since he's so passionate about DeS he really wanted to vent.

While I enjoyed BB it was a bit tiresome how repetitive it could be. It leaned very heavily on its combat system, assuming that because it was "faster" that would be fun enough, but really it's still the same old Souls with a couple new gimmicks replacing the old ones. Like he said, if you want to play a game for the combat there's other much better options, you're spoiled for choice. What saves Bloodborne is the level design, general polish, themes, and atmosphere, not the "core gameplay". While I wouldn't call Micolash my favorite boss, he is far more memorable than "autistic flailing beast #667".
