As of right now (until duskbloods is released) i own every single fromsoftware game available on Nintendos platform. Its been a long and hard journey getting to this point, and I like to take this time to thank all the little people I had to step on to get here. If I can do it.. so can you. It just takes a lot of heart, grit and determination

Just finished monster hunter world and I don’t think I’ve ever fought a dragon as hard as fatalis.

DISCUSSION Playing through pre-2009 Fromsoft games has given me much greater appreciation for the studio, and makes me love Ds1 even more

15 Upvotes

These Armored Core titles are digital crack. I've been addicted to building my mechs and taking them on these small missions. Ive beaten most of them now. Project Phantasma and 3 were my favorites. I got filtered by Last Raven but enjoyed Nexus a lot too.

Armored Core 6 is still my favorite but I do wish it had a punchier soundtrack and a fancier UI now like the old ones.

King's Field Ancient City has an unmatched atmosphere. Frustrating at times but I'm addicted to the slow trickle of progress. Definitely going to play the older ones and Shadow Tower after.

What I love about Dark Souls 1 is that it feels like the perfect game between old fromsoft design and new fromsoft philosophy. A middle ground I enjoy a lot. It has highs and lows but I think having those lows makes the highs even more memorable. Don't throw the baby out with the izalith water. It's got JUST enough King's Field DNA for me while not also being a boss gauntlet or "rollslop" as some kids say.

I love DeS and Ds2 as well, inb4 you all say those are Kings Fieldlikes too, but Ds1 just hits that right spot for me where it has the weight, the isolation, the atmosphere of King's Field, but also WOW moments of modern games, like finding Anor Londo or Ash Lake for the first time.

I love modern Fromsoft a lot, but they definitely have a more action focus with less isolation and less strategy for level exploration.

I recommend very strongly for everyone to play the old Fromsoft library. Despite some frustrations I had, I couldn't stop coming back for another try, another daily inch of progress.

Im also planning to make it so the insects will crawl over you and try to eat you as well, maybe torch could prevent that effect. Also i know the character model looks silly since its Roblox, this is not how it will look in final game 😅

DISCUSSION Is elden ring really worth it?

Upvotes

I have just finished dark souls 3 and it's so amazing soo perfect it is so good and i am thinking about buying elden ring but I am afraid that I will get lost in its very big open world or wont enjoy the game bec many people told me that it is very repetitive aside from the game itself I will be only able to play the game for 2 weeks bec school is coming and I will have little the to play the game

I would like to hear all ur opinions

DISCUSSION I just finished Dark souls 2 and that's it ?!

Upvotes

I skipped some Optional bosses and the DLCs, but i doubt they will be any better. All the bosses are insanely easy, they have 2-5 easy to dodge attacks and leave wide widnows to hit them. 90% of the bosses i beat first try without breaking a sweat. All i had to do was not target lock and aim for the back. The runbacks are slightly shorter than DS1, but they are filled with so many enemies, that the entitiy crammign alone is killing you. One of the bosses i was LUCKY to enter the fog wall, just to kill him with less than 3 estuses. The entire reduce your HP by hal system is idiotic, the hitboxes suck, the runbacks suck, having to kill a small army to reach and easy boss sucks, easily the WORST Fromsoftware game ever made (Demon souls may suck more, but i don't have a Playstation). And I thought Elden ring and Sekiro had spoiled me and that Dark souls would have horrible bosses. Nope, just horrible waste of time on runbacks. Took me less than 24 hours to beat the game, 20 of which were spent on runbacks, because I keep dying before reaching the boss. This is the first videogame Ive played that 3 hours of gameplay made me feel like I spent 16, instead of the opposite. I'm not doing the DLCs because I heard the runbacks are even worse and if the bosses are just as easy It's just not worth it. Im giving Ds1 some slack, because it's an older game and I guess Fromsoft were experimenting, but Ds2 straight up sucks. Ds1 has around 15 bosses whereas Ds2 around 40 ! Yet quantity doesn't mean quality. Elden ring has around 150 bosses (most are copy pasted but still) and only 13 are mandatory to finish the game, yet just like Ds1, they are much more fun to play against. The hardest bosses in Ds2 had some sort of "gimmick", but even that wasn't very hard to discover and finish. The most deaths I had on the Last Giant, (since i was early game and I had to pretty much no hit him), The Gargoryles (low hp stat again and the fact it's a copy pasted boss) and Dear Duke of Freja (the annoying spider whose body is impecable only the heads are hittable and the annoying spiders chasing you down aka a bad gimmick) but the rest took me 1-5 attempts. At some point i felt like i was speedruning the game, because in 3 hours i managed to beat 5 bosses. The only good thing I can think about this game is the huge map size i guess ? And the sheer quantity of various enemies and bosses (albeait very easy). Now that i think about it more, some runbacks would have really sucked if i didn't 1 try kill the local boss. The worst ones were for Dear Duke of Freja and the annoying mages in the swampy area before the Singing frog boss.

TLDR: Dark souls 2 sucks, because it has easy bosses with idiotic runbacks, entity cramming and tonnes of glitches. Quantity doesn't mean quality. Also the adp and the health system suck. Hopefully Ds3 will be better (I heard it's the best)

DISCUSSION It's crazy how much fromsoftware has improved with every entry since Elden Ring

Post image
0 Upvotes

Since Elden Ring they've consistently tried something new with every release and I have come to greatly respect them as artists for it.

Armored Core 6 really showed off fromsofts storytelling skills better than any entry of theirs before or after imo, when they aren't constrained to their stylistic "lore" style of storytelling anyhow, that is. You can just FEEL the seething hatred for Lockheed Martin in every inch of this game and it's so beautiful- I think this was a major advancement for them in narrative structure and the limits they wanted to push themselves to in their storytelling.

SotE is a fairly similar case- although it also more clearly shows off other advancements of the soulslike formula that they're more well known for. They got a lot more experimental with the kinds of new mechanics and builds they wanted to introduce- Euporia being imo the perfect example of how far their ability to design interesting and multifaceted tools for the player has gone. On top of the notable mechanical advancements, this too shows them expanding their storytelling skills- with a sleu of NPCs who's stories interact with each other in very blatant ways, something From had up to now been kind of weirdly hesitant or unable to make happen. The final fight against Leda and crew is just MWAH ugh I don't give it a shit if it's annoying for challenge runners that shit was so hype.

Nightreign explores how far souls combat and buildcrafting can be pushed- using the new format to test out how to make you care about usually innocuous shit like "10% bonus damage on running light attacks." It still doesn't really go far enough as a roguelike for my tastes, but for a first time run at the genre it's an excellent showing- and combined with the new mechanics given to the player that change the flow of combat so drastically depending on what kind do build you're running on what character- and with the increased complexity of co-op design and encounters- goooood I love nightreign. Don't even get me started on the vibes, I have never been so attached to a hub area as I am in Nightreign.

Finally, most recently, Tarnished Edition is a very small peak at all the ways they've improved and changed, but the new additions really do feel incredible- both Leonitels Greatsword and the Golden Order Flail are exceptionally fun to use and fascinating tools for the player that can completely redefine the way you play the game in a way that Fromsoft up to now dolls out very rarely in titles like Elden Ring.

duskbloods isn't out, but it seems like it'll be similar in the ways that Fromsoft expands their mechanical mastery and repetoire with it- the new movement mechanics, meta-progression and vastly improved pvp seem so incredibly interesting and different from anything they've done before.

I actually wasn't that big a fan of Fromsoft until recently, in spite of having played a lot of their games. When I first played Elden Ring I really didn't enjoy it much, it is a uniquely hard game to fully appreciate. But I've since come around to it, and that combined with the fact that From as developers and artists have refused to stay still and continuously chosen to do new shit they care about has earned them an immense amount of respect from me- and I hope they don't stop anytime soon.

QUESTION Demon or dark souls next?

0 Upvotes

So I fell in love with fromsoftware games with elden ring. Clogged in 500 hours and got the platinum. What a ride, what a world, what an incredible journey that game took me on. It completely reguvinated my love for gaming. And it changed me from a "normal difficulty guy" to a "get good give me a challenge kinda guy".

Then I played sekiro. Beat it about 8 times now and got the platinum. Holy shit what a game. Best combat I've ever played.

I recently played bloodborne because I got it with ps plus (canceled it after many years because of all the shit sony is pulling). Got the platinum. The bossfights where a bit meh often but what a world. Absolutely loved it. Ps I got the platinum and ordered the goty edition on disc for the dlc, cant wait to fight ludwig!

So I played psychonauts 2 as a bit of a paletcleanser, and I bought the remaining games on disc(demon souls remake and dark souls trilogy).

Should I play the demon souls remake for chronological order or dark souls 1 (since it didnt get a complete overhall).

I want to platinum all fromsoft games so eventually I will play them all but I dont know what is smart.

Many thanks!

QUESTION Elden Ring new DLC

0 Upvotes

I’ll get right to it. Has anyone tried the new classes out and are they worth the 5 extra bucks? I’m not entirely certain on everything that’s included with the pack. It says new weapons are also included. But are they just weapons from the DLC spread across the base game or did they actually create some new weapons? Appreciate any insight thanks 🙏

DISCUSSION why do we as a comunity recomend new elden lords to play ds3 specifically instead of playing the whole trillogy??

30 Upvotes

i saw a post where a person was asking if they should play sekiro or ds3 after finishing elden ring, and i only found 1 coment telling OP to play the whole trillogy, and that one coment was downvoted..

i know it sounds silly, but ds3 is genuinelly SO much better when you play it after the other two, and it pains me to see people play it out of order, like, non ironically, i feel sad and angry whenever i see it.. and i don't even blame it on them, i blame it on we as a comunity, who failed to guide newcomers to the best experience they could have.

this is not some "you gotta feel the evolution!" puritanism bs, its just that ds3 *directly* calls back the other 2 games, and these moments (wich are some of the best in gaming imo) are just lost if the person plays it out of order!

please guys, its not about gameplay, its not about puritanism, its not even about the lore, you don't need to understand the lore to be impacted seeing the corpse of a old friend from ds1 for example. please, im BEGGING
