I'm not even talking about perving on girls flaunting their shit on cam

I just find it really creepy when dudes will be talking to people as if they've known them for years and just constantly saying a bunch of names and giving out thank yous to random people

It's really distracting and annoying too.

The good ones just talk generally about what they're doing or are just naturally funny.

Whereas the bad/creepy ones just get really invested in their audience.

Id kill for an RPG where the crafting was less about

Once you get Amrorsmith to level 50 you can make Cursed Demon Armor

And more about the skill involved and the process. The melting of the ore, the casting, shaping, polishing etc.

You could make those systems deep and actually fun. Instead of just combining a few ingredients in a menu and hitting a button.


So what you're saying is you want every game that has crafting/making food to collaborate with Papa Louie and their Pizzeria, Cupcakeria, whateveria diarrhea games

I cant remember anything like that in DS3. Not saying thats its not there I just dont remember.

Really? The main plot of the game revolved around it...

The whole world was physically converging around the First Flame, preparing for it to be snuffed out. In Kiln of the First Flame, you can even see cities in the background being twisted and distorted towards the flame. Anor Londo was also apparently pulled out of Lordran towards it.

Plus, From isn't known for "clearly implementing" things story-wise. Vaguely mentioning the character's deterioration in DS2's intro cinematic was probably as clear as they wanted to make it.


Yeah the world itself is going though some shit. But it does not the PC interpretation of it.

Lol theres some far reach fam theories.

idk, it actually seems more likely than From just straight up overlooking seemingly stupid mistakes like the Earthen Peak elevator. Besides, DkS3 definitely does establish that it's possible for the geography to be distorted.

The Souls games lend themselves to all kinds of fan theories. That's one of the beauties of having the lore told through obscure means. On that note, my favorite one is that Demon's Souls was a prequel to both Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series, depening on the ending.


Its an interesting theory but I see no basis for it. Had there been a clear implementation of it I would like it as a design element but thats just reaching as far as Im concerned. I cant remember anything like that in DS3. Not saying thats its not there I just dont remember.

I just assumed that in-canon the Earthen Peak elevator used some kind of spatial sorcery to link the top of the tower with Iron Keep via portal.

IRL it's laziness

I read a fan theory years ago that Drangleic's geographic layout was distorted due to the main character's deteriorating mental state. I mean, it is discussed right in the opening cinematic that the MC is afflicted by the curse (Darksign), has an "ailing mind," and is already losing sense of past and future. According to that theory, the paths between areas like Earthen Peak -> Iron Keep or Heide's Tower -> No Man's Wharf were geographically much longer than how the character experiences/remembers it.

I've also seen one more recently that says the areas were physically distorted to be closer together than they originally were. Makes a lot of sense considering Dark Souls 3 did the same thing with its world.

I still agree it's just the result of IRL laziness though.

Lava castle in the sky though.


Thats one of the most laughable things about Dark Souls 2. I mean DS1 definitely has this weird world, so many different and unique areas and every level is more nonsensical than the next and theyre all stacked on top of each other.

But like another poster here mentioned, the way its connected and how it unravels it feels Like this fantasy world that is completely unique. It has the intrigue and wonderment. The way you can actually see where youre going going and where you came from. And not In just in one area. Everythings stacked. You get different looks at the various pieces of the world from various vantage points.

In DS 2 you take an elevator ride up from a poison swamp and suddenly youre in a lava castle. No warning whatsoever

I know its a daunting task to try and recreate DS1 level design but I dont think anyones even tried to attempt it since.

Bloodborne is a bad example too because Iosefkas clinic is like the only example of it. When it happened in the game I had similar feelings of DS1 but they were quickly squashed when I realized there was literally no point to having this connection back to the city of Yharnam. Didnt open up any potential for different runs.

And BB had such potential for that level design too. The city could have been so intricately designed and layered.

Oh well. Still a great game

What is different about it compared to other games? I played briefly but couldnt get very far.


Everything is interconnected. The way the world is set up you are constantly finding and opening alternate routes through places. Entire areas can be hidden. Youre just in this constant state of wonderment as you explore the world and start piecing together how areas relate to each other. You go down one route and before you even realize it youre back in an area you recognize.

It takes you a while but once you start to figure it out the world makes sense to you with zero map or anything like that. You have this experience with it so you know s bunch of various ways to get from A to B. Which also makes subsequent play through so interesting. You know the routes but also gear placement plays an interesting role too. Youre given a lot of freedom in where you can go, even at the very beginning of the game. And if youre going in with a specific build in mind it can change how you play through the game

Its like no other game Ive ever played. If video games had a hall of fame or Oscars or whatever form high acknowledgement. DS1 level design would be there in a heartbeat.

Im talking even attempted.

They abandoned that for every sequel and successor.

The game itself inspired so many copycats and clones that its changed the video game landscape forever. And yet no one has even attempted to recreate one of, if not the best things about that game.

I get how difficult it would be. Its insane how well it works in DS1. But for no game to even try to recreate that experience Is puzzling.

idk about you but I NEED something like that again. No other game does exploration like DS1 and the feeling of uncovering the secrets of that world are second to none.

The GameCube controller was only relatively good.

It was better than the PS2 controller because Sony can't make a controller to save their life and it was better than the Duke but not the revised Xbox controller.

Nintendo fans just look back on it with extreme nostalgia because it represented the most normal controller and last normal console Nintendo ever had.

Probably the most accurate post thus far.
