Souls series. And by that I mean Demon's Souls.

>>382791381
Blew what? The series has only improved since then, especially the combat. It's still really braindead but at least there's a larger variety of enemies that can't be countered and the boss fights aren't total garbage. Assylum's combat is the worst by far.
>>
Mass Effect
>>
Metal Gear Solid
>>
>>382791648
There is exactly one boss fight in the entire series that isn't garbage. And while Asylum does have the worst combat, it's still not bad. Asylum also has the best everything else so it's a moot point that its combat is simpler than following entries. The series should never have gone open world.
>>
>>382791602
I think what that anon meant was that playing Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne would give you the wrong idea of what to expect from Demon's Souls. The best qualities about Demon's Souls are very different from the action focused experience the later games in the series offer.

Borderlands 1 was fantastic and I personally prefer it over 2 but even I can admit that 2 made everything a lot better memespouting cuck writer aside

>There is exactly one boss fight in the entire series that isn't garbage
Nah, City's fights were mediocre western boss fights, Assylum's were straight trash though even by western standards. The combat is pretty bad, it's the one game in the series where mashing counter is perfectly viable for the entire game. It doesn't have the best everything else either, the later games improved the stealth and the asylum itself is a boring environment to travel though.
>>
>>382792315
I unironically liked Origins a lot more than Knight.
The only thing I liked about Knight was how technically impressive it was especially when you consider it's still Unreal Engine 3 and that it's being pushed to the absolute limit.

Gonna have to disagree with you here, BF2 was the absolute best game in the franchise.

I dont even understand how they fucked it so bad, the things that made fear 1 so great were dynamic lighting and intelligent level design coupled with good audio and AI. even the AI wasn't that good, the audio just made them seem god tier.

It's actually City>Asylum=Knight>Origins.

Knight would be equal to City if there was less Batmobile. Don't have to do away with it, but just less. It's frankly one of the most beautiful games available and the level of detail in the Gotham sandbox is absurd.

The AI in FEAR is indeed not very special. It's just sad that every other FPS pales in comparison because their AI is stupid as shit.

Demon's Souls is great but this is still some next-level contrarianism. The first Dark Souls is by far the best Souls game, no question about it. Demon's Souls has better soundtrack and atmosphere but Dark Souls improved pretty much everything else.
>>
>>382793506
If the AI in FEAR is better than every other game, then it is special. Land of the blind, one eyed king etc
What are you comparing it against, your idea of how a perfect AI should behave?

Mafia
>>
>>382793506

The AI is sort of special in that not many FPS had GOAP based AI at the time, apart from maybe multiplayer bots.

>the way the story is presented is fucking S-Rank
It's like a textbook example of terrible pacing and world building. I played this game with a guy who only knew the movies and watching his brain fry at how the immortal ninja man and his ninja clan were introduced in the game was amazing. The expectation that you're supposed to care about Thalia despite the whole relationship being presented as TELL TELL TELL with no show is below amateur. Then there was Clayface, a great twist if you know the character, not so much if not.
>>
>>382794063

>>382794063

>but even I can admit that 2 made everything a lot better
>Guns are now far shittier
>2x modifier on a gun means it will also consume 2x the bullets despite the fact in BL1 it meant you gain that many shots for a single bullet.
>You can also get this modifier with "Consumes x bullets"
>If it's not a Bandit gun it has a terrible magazine.
>Most guns that aren't snipers can't hit the broadside of a barn.
>Nearly any sniper rifle mod is garbage because it always ends up being "Firing increases accuracy", "Consumes 2 shots", or it's some gimmick weapon.
>Loaders and their bloated HP pool.
>Most of the new areas are a nightmare to go through, just nonstop enemies spawning with no real way to avoid their attacks and they come by the dozen.
That area where you first meet Mordecai and have the Power Rangers quest is one of my least favorite areas in the entire game because those shits don't stop spawning ever and there's bombs everywhere, those helicopter things that pretty much one-shot you and are damage sponges with auto-aim, and an area filled with them and dozens of bandits all together.
>As soon as you reach the Eridium Blight the game goes down the shitter in terms of balance with enemies taking absurd amounts of damage to kill, and then you reach the BL1 areas and you want to die from how long it takes to do anything and how you die so quickly.
>Getting actual decent guns as drops without farming is nigh impossible while a gun in BL1 could carry you for hours and were generally much more favorable compared to all the shit gimmicks 2 has.
I will never stop having BL2, it did everything wrong barring have more diverse areas, and even those diverse areas are enormous with enemies nonstop so you never have time to breathe.

Disagree on Resident Evil (4 / REmake) and Gears of War (3), but for the most part these are good calls (in series I know anyway)

Demon's Souls still has the best designed areas in the series, let alone better than Dark "shut down the game after Anor Londo" Souls.

>>382793363
>Intelligent level design
I love fear, but "intelligent level design"?
You basically walked from one room to another, fought some guys with the "level" being littered with machinery, pillars, office stuff. And between those rooms were corridors. What's so intelligent about it? Top notch atmosphere though.
>>
>>382795501
The level design made the AI seem better than it was.
>>
>>382795613
I suppose that's a fair point. The way rooms were "cluttered" allowed the AI to spread out, making it seem more natural and professional
>>
>>382790279
so is that a legit mod or something?
