Because they ran out of ideas.

Name one souls game that doesn't have recycled bosses/mobs in it, I fucking dare you.

You say it like Asylum demon wasnt used 3(Three) times in a single souls game.

>>387603481
Demon's Souls.

I kinda wish Abyss Watchers were reused as well. It's really not something I look back on about the Souls series and say 'yeah I hate that shit'

Some of these are just flat out awesome enemies.

is fromsoft, dare i say it, milking a tired franchise?

>>387603771
To be fair the Vanguard isn't reused, it's literally the same demon in the tutorial as in the Shrine, that's why it doesn't appear there if you killed it earlier

>>387603894
god forbid they make money off a popular formula with well received games. There's virtually no criticism of 3 outside of /v/ and poos who can't afford to run it.

Why was Dark Souls 2 so shit?

>>387603981
and you know that's wrong.

You're both very wrong.

>>387603950
Bullshit, I beat Vanguard in the tutorial and he still showed up in 4-1. Demon souls reuses bosses as normal enemies.

>>387604012
Yeah they named Demons Souls which is a Souls game with recycled mobs. He didn't say where the mobs were recycled from you illiterate nigger.

>>387604047

Demon's Souls is a souls game, it has King's Field enemies in it, how fucking hard is that to understand?

for some reason its OK if dark souls 3 does it. babby fanboys need to leave

>>387603205
Asylum Demon was in turn just another Adjudicator.
That makes it the fifth time this boss appears in the series.
DaS3 is still pretty bad though.

>>387603534
>Asylum Demon is the tutorial boss
>Stray Demon is the stronger version of that boss for when you revisit the tutorial

>>387604047
Nobody making the game gave a shit. Everything feels like it's strictly regimented for time and clearly subdivided into parts that are then put together by interns.

>>387604121
So I guess you must be equally upset about how they copied all those generic medieval looking soldier enemies from the hundreds of games with generic medieval looking soldier enemies that came out before Demon's Souls too right?

i still hate how lothric castle is the first area. why would you give the most beautiful area to the player first? they should throw you into a desolate place to give you a sense of amazement when you finally reach lothric castle.

of all the pandering DkS3 did to the orginal dark souls fans, they messed up by putting in references that didn't even make sense, instead of bringing back non-linear design, a near perfect hub, or that feeling you got when you first set foot in Anor Londo. This is what makes DkS3 a failed game to many who have played the souls games from the original.

>>387603981
>There's virtually no criticism of 3 outside of /v/
because people use dark souls as a fashion accessory to show others they're hardcore video gamers

most souls fans aren't even capable of criticizing games properly because they're either too young or just downright casual. they're equivalent to people who buy the new fifa/cod/remaster every year and let devs rest on their laurels

I think I hated Aldrich a bit more than Capra Demon

I liked and thorougly enjoyed all souls games equally

demons souls was fantastically simplistic, moody and perfectly complete

dark souls 1 was super diverse, interconnected and intriguing

dark souls 2 had breathtaking atmosphere, the gameplay felt different in a nice way and the multiplayer was really enjoyable for a while

dark souls 3 felt like a big finale with a massive soundtrack and a hopeless kind of vibe that gave you real closure to let the series and story end

oh and bloodborne was just fucking sick

>>387604542
Seeing Irithyl for the first time coming from Catacombs was a nice reveal. I'd say it's on par with Anor Londo in 1.

and in comes the straw man

the whole discussion involved games from a certain developer, not every game ever made

and if DS reuses enemies or assets from KF, than thats a totally valid point in the discussion about souls games

>>387603717
they ruined this boss with the gimmick

just like wolnir

Dark Souls 3 was such an apathetic game. It's like no one behind it gave the slightest fuck whatsoever. Like a bunch of codemonkies were given a checklist of generic souls elements and access to a bunch of Bloodborne assets and the end result is a bland retread of shit we've all seen multiple times.

You get your shite swamp, your opening castle walls level with zombies shuffling around, a crap version of Latria with all the atmosphere replaced with out of place screamers, multiple cathedrals, an obligatory level-up maiden who looks like a knock-off maiden-in-black, all topped off with a boss fight who functions as both a Gwyn rehash and a glorified pvp fight in a fanservice wankfest.

What a dull cash-grab of a game. I think the worst part was seeing chalice dungeon assets not once but twice in the catacombs and the fire lake area.

>>387605094
>demons souls was fantastically simplistic
it had way more weird hidden mechanics than all the other souls games

>>387603205

>>387605628
>teased

Yeah, a 5 second shot of some random castle area. The reason Anor Londo was such a big deal was coming from every dreary place beforehand and then seeing a beautiful sun-soaked city. Irithyl had the same feeling. Also, AL was a literal who location as well. As far as I remember, there's no mention of it before you get there. It's just "ring the two Bells of Awakening", but nothing about what you'll find when you do.

>Irithyl had the same feeling.

All I ever thought when I saw Irithyl was that it looked like a smaller Yharnam with a blue filter.

exactly 1 year ago when Ashes of Ariandel was annouced everyone was circlejerking about it, and before that it was generally regarded as a great game. now one year later turns out it's garbage

keep it up /v/

>>387607713
DaS2 contrarianism stopped being a great thread starter when some faggots video started to lose its novelty. DaS3 contrarianism is the new hotness for those sweet replies.

I have always thought that DaS3 was a one-and-done game since I played it. When the DLCs failed to be amazing or fix the main game that last hope for redemption died. My opinions on the game have only become more autistically overanalyzed and nitpicky ever since because it's so mediocre.

>>387607713
You now realise the honeymoon period is a real thing.

>>387607713
I have no fucking clue what happened but hating on DS3 is the new meme, just like hating on DS2 was. It's as if there was a group of people that started making those threads and got every newfag on board with them.

This is exactly why this board is garbage, people are just being contrarian for the sake of it and spout bullshit and literal fallacies to defent their claims.
