Has Dark Souls ruined everything?
Yes. Also, stop watching e-celebs.

>This Dark Souls esque game
Why? Because you have to get back to your body (before you can save anyway)?
Because it's not really open world but more like a bunch of interconnected levels?
OMG IT'S DARK SOUL
>lololololol Dark Souls is so bad!!!!!
Not this meme again

I assumed it was because "lolxd this game is so dark and hard!"
>>388122275
Yes it has
>>388122718
I don't think he's implying it's bad its just spawned a group of people that compare anything with an ounce of difficulty to Dark Souls because it's babbys first difficult game
>>388122275
Didn't you know that Yoko Taro created his series because he was so inspired by Dark Souls?
Why else do you think Drakengard has weapon lore and a dark fantasy setting?
>>388122663
Probably because you have to retrieve the body or else you lose exp + equipment which never happens unless you play on Hard or Very Hard.
Dark Souls will never have best fucking boy.

Exactly this. When did everything that's not retardedly easy become just like Dark Souls. Just because I can't beat a controller against the wall and win, that doesnt mean its like dark souls at all.
>>388123162
But thats not even a main focus. Dark Souls practically revolves around that shit while in Nier its like a nice little gameplay mechanic on the side.

We're talking about Nier, not Drakenguard fag. Also you can have inspirations without it outright being a copy

The guy I'm replying to is talking about Drakengard you complete retard and what I wrote was a joke following on from what he said, how you didn't see that is beyond me
>>388122275
>dark souls existing = idiots comparing every game to dark souls
No. It's not the game's fault.
>>388122275
Now your eyes are opened to the cancer. Welcome to the real world.
>modern game is difficult
>even if it's not trying to be hard & is just a little less casual friendly than the usual shit
>"wow it's soulslike"
I don't even get why "Soulslike" has become a genre, it's an open-world ARPG like a lot of games nowadays, it just bust your balls more than usual & doesn't hold your hand. That's like saying Ninja Gaiden is its own genre because it's known to be harder than other games in the same genre. Is Vanquishlike a thing because Vanquish's highest difficulty is harder than the average TPS?

I was innocent.... PURE! I enjoyed playing bloodborne from time to time and thought dark souls 3 was kinda cool..... But nonstop comparison of any game that has any type of non-toddlerlike difficulty has made me hate the franchise..... WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY?!?!?!?!

Dark Souls is the Rick and Morty of video games.
Is this thread the dark souls of shitposting?
dark souls fanbase ruins things, leave the game out of it
/v/ is the Dark Souls of 4chan boards
>>388122275
>>388125585
That can't be right, because Rick and Morty is good.
