>To understand why this is a bad thing, we have to confront a hard truth that few people seem to want to face about the Souls games, including From Soft themselves. But here it is: the combat is nothing remarkable. There is no aerial combat, and that equates to mediocre gameplay. In terms of actual complexity, there's not much going on. There's not much *depth*, and that wouldn't be a problem except the series has increasingly leaned on its action elements more and more while refusing to incorporate juggling, hot weapon swapping, dodge cancelling or even a simple style meter. So prepare to roll again and again, and again and again and again.
Soulsfags never *really* recovered from this, did they?
Fromdrones never recover from any form of criticism. They take even the mildest critique personally and shout down anything they disagree with with desperate cries of "git gud"
Nolan Hill
It seems to me FS heard all his complaints and made them all worse in Elden Ring.
Carter Smith
He played a different version of Demons Souls than the one I played where 95% of the gameplay was running around wacking stuff, and even rolling.
Isaiah Rodriguez
Souls has better combat than Reddit May Cry and any other PS2 button masher
Josiah Robinson
What would the style meter ranks in Elden Ring be?
It will never cease to amuse me to what length these Redditors will go to cope with how hard they got filtered.
Andrew Gutierrez
So the game is bad because it is not Devil May Cry? What kind of stupid logic is that I don't even like Fromsoft games but just because they don't cater to you does not make them objectively bad If you like cuhrazy so much just replay them, they made Bloody Palace for this exact fucking reason
Lucas Rivera
No aerial is less of an issue in souls but it kills a game like FF7R leaving no survivors
Hunter Bennett
>why isn't this action RPG more like a hack-n-slash game
Dominic Jackson
Yeah, he's right. Souls combat is nothing special and fairly shallow, and this shouldn't be particularly controversial.
Both Nioh and For Honor prove you can have Souls gameplay with good combat. From Drones have low standards
Logan Butler
in case there's anybody in this thread that is not trying to troll whatever to them is the other side of the argument, go watch the full video. this thread is only full of out of context quotes and out of context clips
Elijah Gray
Bro you're on Any Forums This exact quote has been posted over a billion times now and it's still gonna hit bump limit.

>go watch the full video How about you go fuck yourself instead?
Nathaniel Price
Oh this is some fucking e-celeb thread?
Anthony Anderson
It's fact. Clearing all DMC games can be done by just spamming stinger or SLAM DUNK if you're with Nero. They only have depth if you want to do the optional S ranks. Souls requires way more depth and game knowledge to just complete solo.

i wish him luck but it's kind a waste of talent desu
Anthony Baker
>Combat can get shallow Agreed. >Because it doesn't have aerial combos and style meters. Disagreed.
Matthew James
Neo-Any Forums is fucking retarded holy shit
Logan Bennett
>Calls DMC reddit but praises Dark Souls The fucking irony. Go back
Gavin Edwards
in souls games you can literally get other players to play the game for you
Kevin Sullivan

Summoning is the equivalent of "easy-auto" mode in DMC/Bayo.
>Souls requires way more depth and game knowledge AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH HOLY FUCKING SHIT SOULS REDDITORS EVERYONE
Charles Howard
Some just prefer games where enemies fight back, that's all.
Cameron Wright
Still can't believe that was one of his points. I mean he is a dmc fan so he is aware of playing unlocked. Bad faith bullshit like this means he will never be as good as Joseph Anderson.
Hudson Ortiz
How can anyone stand this twat's essays with that monotone Irish accent? His videos are painfully boring
I don't get why you always start these threads with a misquote of his that sounds believable. It's some wierd slimely jew technique to discredit him. Or maybe just for replys.
William Thompson
>fromdrones so thoroughly btfo by the potatonigger they make up fake sentences to try and make him look bad fromsisters...
Jonathan Bailey

It's ironic that he hates DS2 because it had way more and better gimmick fights than Demon's Souls.
Gavin Allen
NiohChads, we won
Joshua Rivera
I can sit through essays that are interesting easily, this guy is wholly unappealing down to his voice and presentation, I don't even disagree with him and think souls is garbage but I'd rather listen to a spic than him or some shit kek.
