People calling this the best Souls game are just saying it because they think it makes them look cool, right?

I prefer demon's souls because it's "experience" is evenly given out throughout the game. The newer the games get the more it becomes about joke levels and autistic boss battles. In DeS your level and your boss were part of the same package. Partially because there were so few "bonfire next to the fog door" situations.

It is the best Soulslike or Soulsborne game

Even with cherry picked screenshots it still looks worse than Dark Souls. Try harder Snoys.

>it proved games can be art
Ueda already did that with Ico back in 2001

They're saying it because it was the first one they played. You're never going to 100% replicate that first souls game experience you had because they're all so similar mechanically.

Games cannot simply be taken on their own, they must be taken along with the context of the time they released in.

>"Dark Souls 2 is a bad game plagued by terrible design decisions"
>it's okay when muh Miyazaki Snoyshit does it!!
Memen's Souls fans are mentally ill

Can someone translate this retard speak to English?

there's a rabid fart souls 2 fan in Any Forums who likes to complain about demon's souls

I wonder how people who like modern souls games would feel if the 15 foot tall swordman doing 20 hit combos, each being a one hit kill, sent them back to the start of the level on a kill like demon's souls.

It's the original have some fucking respect zoomer.

Give Sekiro a shot. It's the natural evolution of the DS3-BB angle, but if they actually went all the way and made a good action game.

I find it to be a respectable opinion if it doesn't come with random uncalled for Bloodborne praise.

Not gonna lie, I am a huge casual these days and it looks too hard.

I first played Bloodborne, then DaS, then DS3 and finally DeS and DeS is still my favorite, so no

It pioneered the genre, therefore its the best souls game, cry and shit your pants.

This is exactly what I'm saying. People are just having these ""opinions"" because they think it makes them look cool (respectable lol)

Boletaria Castle had some of the best design and interiors ever before bloodborne. The rest of the game is not as good and all bosses are shit.

I liked it a lot. The weapon upgrade trees felt better simply by having effects other than damage type / scaling stat. While some bosses were pretty easy I liked that they were all very distinct from one another. Tendency really did wonders for the replay value, too.

No it's just casual Plebstation fanboys who need the easiest game in the series full of gimmickshit bosses

i beat all of them

>praising the awful soundtrack
>um actually the bosses are puzzles! (really shitty ones!)
>latria is like so disturbing! especially when you have to hear lord rydell straining to shit every minute!
Fuck off DeStard.

Who the fuck thinks you're cool for liking a videogame? I'm not even saying that you're lying, but they're only gaining the admiration of complete retards, so who gives a shit?

Nah. My first was DS2 and it's still my favorite but there's something so much more enchanting about DeS than DS1 or 3. Both 2 and DeS have this feeling of a true grand adventure, and if not that at least a semblance of being the rookie and getting your ass kicked. In both games, the endings aren't nearly as grand as the ones in DS1 or 3, and the progression in both are quite satisfying. In my opinion, I would say DeS is slightly better than 2, but only because it has more original ideas. They're both great in their own right.

It has soul.

The soundtrack is incredible. Demon's isn't my favorite in the series, only beats the Dark sequels, but the OST is easily the best one so far.

I miss HP and MP regeneration on games.
Yeah, it's understandable why they did it, but it was fun making these kinds of builds.

How is Elden Ring polished? What about it is so good? I swear I’m not being a hater, I really did want to love the game (it’s the first video game I’ve played since Sekiro came out) but everything it improves on is either minor (ashes of war) or comes with a lot of drawbacks (the open world) and for everything I loved about the Souls games it simply is worse and less tight/focused

Sometimes the first impression of something has more lasting power than anything after regardless of quality. If you happen to feel that way over the first installment of something, you deserve some cred. And for this particular example, it is also true.

My god the delusions you retards have are something else. You really think the perfect game came about from a development hell so shitty even the game director hates talking about it.

Second best Souls game. Dark Souls felt like an actual expansion of every idea Demons Souls had, a natural evolution. The enemy and location variety and expanded systems being the best part of it. I still love Demons Souls though, it's atmosphere is nearly unmatched
