I don't think anyone has ever said Dark Souls is perfect. It's just good enough that its many flaws are not necessarily deal breakers.

>>386497343
The entire second half is a deal breaker

>>386497418
Shit meme

>>386497418
Bed of Chaos and Four Kings are really the only unacceptably bad parts of the 2nd half.

>>386497418
I agree, first half was lots of fun though

>>386497763
4kings isn't bad

new londo ruins is a cool area

>>386498146
I like New Londo a lot, I just think Four Kings is a really bad boss fight that encourages and rewards cheesing more than any other part of the game.

>>386498324
It's a good thing DS2 improved boss fights

>>386496443
All of the Souls games have pretty glaring flaws. Simple shit that should've been caught by a competent Q&A team and either fixed or flat out removed.

The deal with these flaws is that most of them, once realized, can simply be played around and ignored. Like mimic hitboxes being complete dogshit in every entry. Once you realize they're dogshit, you know what not to do, and you just avoid the dogshit.

>>386498580
What if the entire game is one big flaw, like Dark Souls 3?

>>386498496
lmao

You got me there I guess, since I hate DaS3 and find very few redeeming qualities.

Currently playing through it again and I still don't like it. The boss fights are too easy and too similar, Irithyll is too annoying, grey castle, brown swamp, dark brown swamp, grey castle, grey cathedral, blue-grey cathedral, etc.

>>386499216
Should I get a Dark Souls shirt?

>>386499428
No

>>386499428
If you're being serious, then get an unironically subtle one.

>>386499391
I hear Irithyll is a beautiful level but I never notice because I speedrun through that shit asap.

>>386499689

>>386499689
What's a good looking subtle one?

>>386499897
A shirt with a dark sign

>>386499832
I thought about getting that shirt, but I think I would offend people that don't know about Dark Souls.

Pretty much, yeah.

>Pontiff Knights with infinite stamina and 720° tracking on almost every attack.
>Witches that launch spells through walls and have the most hilariously unnecessary grab/throw in the game.
>Deacons of the Deep gank squads that are just a fucking chore to wade through.
>Silver Knights with infinite poise in a game where there's no poise. They share moves with bosses from previous games now, because why the fuck not.
>Enemies that go invisible at random.
>Sulyvahn's hound at the beginning, which is basically a rip off of Aava, but with fucking terrible hitboxes.
>All of this crowned with pointlessly easy, and horribly overrated, bosses: Sulyvahn and Aldritch.

>>386496443
Because we are willing to forgive a few flaws to play a challenging game with great atmosphere, combat, and overall design, and find it satisfying.

Or because we watched a video on youtube and bought into git gud culture and want to brag about out 360 nocscope speedrunshit.

not trying to discredit you dude, but the pontiff knights, witches, knights and hollow ghosts are all easy as shit to get through and passive as shit.

Simple as that dude, and stay away from the patches of water with flies.

Alternatively, good bow with poison arrows

>>386502835
It sounds like you haven't played it unpatched, there's a particular pack at the end with 2 casters, a healer and I think 2 of the hammer guys at once. It's fucking ridiculous. I ended up cheesing them with a bow.

DaS1 had a similar pack in Oolacile, where there's 3 bloatheads and 2 sorcerers, but that encounter had places where you could break LoS and poise that actually worked.

>>386501996
You don't have internet because you're a neet with no money and it's also the reason you aren't playing scholar instead.

>>386503398
Is patched scholar? brought it yesterday funnily enough.

I thought the enemy placement was meant to be fixed. kek.

>>386503734
What? I had no internet because we were changing ISPs and it took longer than usual for them to sort their shit out. And I'm not NEET at all, I am literally married with children, playing my way through the gens I missed when the kids were little. Nice projection though.

>>386497418
more like last 2/3rds, the game completely falls apart once you unlock sens fortress

AAAAAAAH DARK SOULS

>>386496443
i've jumped over them before without activating the trap. you have to jump a little earlier than you think. the button can detect you in the early stages of a jump, you have to be completely in the air at the point of passing over it.

>>386497418
So like FFVI?

>>386504369
Thank you. I put absolutely minimal effort into it.

>>386497418
I enjoyed the game a lot less after unlocking fast travel
going back to it I can't stand not having fast travel
I'll just keep playing DS3

Now I know I'm just asking for a tidal wave of ">Git Gud" memesters but, the thing that always bummed me out about DS1 is how I could always get through the game with a healthy amount of difficulty, but when it came to Orentein and Smough it just became impossible for me without grinding for souls for hours (if not days) and then summoning people to help for that singular boss fight.
And I know a day will come when the servers will go down and then I will realize that I'll never be able to get past that point ever again.

>>386505760
Just stop being shit and upgrade your gear more

>>386505760
Polearms more or less trivialize the fight. I don't think I've beaten Dark Souls yet, but I have two saves with different quest progression and O&S have yet to kill me more than 4 times on either.

This most recent time I did it two tries with magic weapon on my halberd.

>>386505760
I usually summoned people for every boss (and just all the time basically) because I think the game is much more fun with jolly cooperation
that said I did fight them solo occasionally and it never seemed that hard as long as I kept them both on screen as much as possible so I could see O's charge attack coming and killed S first

>>386505760
Go back and solo them now, it's immensely satisfying. Remember to buy a bunch of charcoal resin and upgrade your weapon to at least +6 before you leave for Sens so you can pump it to +10 when you get there.

>>386505920
kek like pottery

>>386505760
kill ornstein first and cheese smough with a bow. that's what i did the one time i beat them solo. sometimes you have to simply wait a couple minutes before you get them far apart enough to start attacking. practice killing the royal sentinels and giants two at a time.

>>386505760
sorry dude but it's true, an actual git gud issue you've got there
