What you see surrounding the Dark Souls game, particularly the first one, is much like what happened with the Half-Life games when they came out.

I wish I could have a glimpse of the way you see this world. You special person.

You're not going to find much. All I see is penises everywhere.

You can apply that criteria to a lot of series though. Hell, you can apply it to something like FNaF.

>You can apply that criteria to a lot of series though.
No, you can't. Most games (hell books and movies too) are straight forward, direct, and don't spend a lot of time highlighting anything more than what you see in front of you.

>Hell, you can apply it to something like FNaF.
Probably because FNaF did have some tiny semblance of a lore going on, even if it's not as interesting or worth investing.

Five Nights did leave some details to reveal what's going on in the plot. But I think there mainly coincidental and thrown in because the developer thought they were cool.

The Last of Us is a better comparison. It also is hated by contrarians.
>but hl2 innovated with tech
Nothing compares to that aspect.

Tlou is shit when compared to souls

>>388399193
not really, tlou is a pleasant and honest shooter adventure while dark souls is devil may cry for people who love skyrim.

>>388398082

>>388397624

>>388399754

>>388399687
It's all about the action. PREPARE TO DIE!1

>>388399809
No appreciation for what games used to be like.

>>388399809
Everyone wants to compare every mildly hard or atmospheric game because it's literally the only decent one for almost a decade.
