what a well designed game

Some of us are masochist who like to get mad at things.

>>383754945
your fault for playing the last game first
also try being open minded and actually give the game a chance instead of going HURR DURRR RESPAWNS? THATS OLD AND GAY

>>383754945
Git gud
You either hate it until it starts to grow on you, or you completely drop it.

>when we left the 16-bit era
Why would you possibly think that? Have you really not played any other game in the past 4 generations where enemies respawn when you die?

>>383755073
why play a game if you're hating playing it? like, really, if it doesn't immediately catch your attention as something that you enjoy getting better at, why not just pick one of the thousands of other games that do?

why would you complain about getting more of a good combat system?

>>383754490
The irony in this post, he wouldn't last two hours on Dark Souls PTDE

>>383754945
>Meaningless
You mean the enemies that are there to challenge you as you explore the area, and that you have to learn to avoid if you want to run past them, cause you ain't gonna run past every enemy on your way to the boss.

Okay Anon, you are correct.
Playing the third and final game first is a great idea. Only an idiot would play the other games

>>383755993
at this point i'm just curious why people torture themselves getting good at a game like this instead of playing something else that's better at easing you into the difficulty.

Dark Souls is not about the difficulty. It's about the exploration of this neatly connected world supported by beautiful music and enemy design. Except Lost Izalith fuck that place I'd rather spend ten minutes plunging humanity into the spider bitch over that shit.

>>383756176
who cares about the other games?

do you have to play an entire series of games to play one game?

can you honestly say, with the pvp and communtiy being dead, that if someone has to play dark souls 1 2 or 3 they should pick 1 because its the fucking first one?

3 is by far the best one in terms of new player experience. by FAR. gundyr is the best enemy in the entire series for teaching how to play the game

>>383756329
>>383756437
no, seriously, why? there are better, more challenging games that don't cheat difficulty by making you redo huge sections every time you die. games that don't drop you right into the hard part and make you do it over and over again until you get it right.

dark souls is like an old NES game pretending to be difficult by throwing instakill spikes everywhere.

Anon dark souls 3 isn't hard for people who have played the series.
Believe it or not, jumping into the final game first is not a good idea. It's like watching the final episode of a show and complaining that it doesn't appeal to you

>Anon dark souls 3 isn't hard for people who have played the series.
>Believe it or not, jumping into the final game first is not a good idea.

this is rubbish because dark souls 3 is far, far, far easier than any of the other ones. you run around like a ninja and have a super long dodge that doesn't take any stamina. being petrified doesn't fuck you the same way. you don't get invaded the same way and even if you do it doesn't matter. etc.

das 3 is by far the best one for a new player to play. by a huge margin. your memories of dark souls 1 involve the community and pvp/coop, which he cannot experience now, not in the same way you did whatsoever.

>>383757487
DaS2 is the best dark souls though

>>383756048
>dark souls 3 is the game anyone new to souls should play, by far.
No, that's second game.

If you are having trouble then just use a shield.
You know, like the older games had you do?

>>383754490
Dark souls is a meme game. It's litterally just monster hunter combat with shit tier everything, except world design.

Are people here really this bad at games? Dark Souls isn't even hard

>First Souls game
>Plays the objectively worst one in the series.

>>383758896
90% of /v/ as a rule is ironically terrible at games.

>>383758896
I've played and beaten the games multiple times. The games aren't hard, but they can be very frustrating. It's usually just a small mistake or overconfidence that leaves you smacking your forehead, and knowing I have to replay through an entire area, some of which are a pain in the ass to trudge through like the gutter in DS2, just to reclaim my souls is eventually makes me turn the game off until next time.

Today I will tell them Dark souls 2 is the worst in the entire franchise.

>>383757331
that's my problem. it's not hard to dodge attacks, shield at the right moment, and counterattack when there's an opening. the "hard" part is that you can't ever make a mistake or you're just dead.

Gee, i wonder why they respawn if you die/rest on a bonfire

from what i gather from people i've talked to about the game, the meat of the thing is the boss fights and the rest is just sort of fluff to waste your time

>>383759460
Very, very little in these games will kill you in one hit. You can make many mistakes. If you make so many mistakes that you run out of estus then the difficulty to dodge, shield, and punish is real and doing its job.

>>383762631
Boss fights might be the memorable climaxes, but taking your time and exploring the world is a big part of the experience too. It's not a boss rush game by any means.

>>383763286
>dodge out of the way of an attack
>arrow from enemy around the corner chunks you for 75% as soon as the roll ends

i hate waiting in video games, i just wanna GO IN and FUCK THOSE GUYS UP

>>383763750
Then go play DMC or something

>>383763750
Then Dark Souls is genuinely not for you and that's okay. If you absolutely must persist, try Bloodborne.
And arrows from basic mobs will do like 20% at the most, man.

>>383756556
This guy gets it. It was never about the difficulty. The difficulty is just there to get you to pay attention and get involved with the world. And you can even adjust the difficulty on the fly by leveling or summoning. Dark Souls 3 has more bullshit trap setups than most Souls games but it's still not insanely difficult.

It's surprising to see these threads on /v/ still popping up complaining about having to replay levels when it's been an action game staple since the inception of action games. Believe it or not, having to come up with a plan to overcome obstacles in an area is actually appealing to people who enjoy these games. OP you want to see unforgiving level restarts try any hori shooter ever sometime.

>>383763750
These games might not be for you. Stop bitching about it and either get better or go away fuckboy.
