Dark souls too much of a time sink series#
The Souls series offers challenge, but there are often multiple different ways to approach a problem, plenty of ways to react to it, unlimited time (generally speaking) to deal with it and so forth. You'll just constantly be stuck in a loop trying to get past a seemingly impossible task. So, no matter what you say, think or believe, if you can't make said jump, then you'll never progress. In Spelunker HD there were a number of jumps that required near pixel perfect execution or deep understanding of the mechanics while dealing with random variables and a time limit. As annoying as these things are, I think what makes the Souls series so popular is that, despite its similarities are the critically unsuccessful Spelunker HD, it's also very accessible, unlike Spelunker HD.Īs Q8kik was, I believe anyway, trying to get at, the Souls series doesn't have massive skill barriers. It is designed around punishing you, there aren't a lot of resources, going about things the wrong way can and often will cause you to fail and every failures a massive set back. There is no denying that the Souls series can be difficult to play. However, similar to how Destiny's use of the term was different than the general belief (it was challenge, as in I challenge you to do something, not that doing said thing is a challenge), the Souls series is a different kind of hard. It's very similar to the issues people had with Bungie calling the raid challenges, well, challenges, since the general belief was that they weren't difficult (Oryx I believe was thought to be easiest under CM conditions). The issue with calling the Souls series easy or hard is that hard never seemed like the right term to describe it.
"At what point do we say a game is or isnt hard? " If this happened you wouldn't have dark souls, you'd have another generic rpg. Maybe you could even have a navigation arrow in the top of your character so you don't get lost and don't have to explore the beautiful world that's been created. Imagine if in dark souls secret areas and enemies would be almost impossible to miss as it would be unfair if everyone didn't get a chance to see everything in one playthrough. Or grinding on diablo I could do for hours but difficult to describe it as fun, even though I enjoy it in my own way.ĭark souls is a game which you can get such a unique experience precisely because it doesn't compromise. In my eyes each one a great game but you you could easily say getting immersed in heavy rain isn't fun as playing rocket league with mates. Take heavy rain, rocket league and diablo 3. Not to say it isn't enjoyable but there can be many different aspects of fun in games. Saying dark souls isn't fun is like saying Schindler's list didn't have enough laughs. ILikeGamesYeah 2373d ago (Edited 2373d ago )ĭark souls is an experience to me. Magic, faith and pyro builds is a true testament to a number of different play styles you can have in Dark souls 3(Didn't even have time to mention bows).These are things missing from BB and you're saying its more quality over Dark souls On top of that, you can infuse weapons with different elements and make a weapon scale with your different stats. Well, you pretty much shot yourself in the foot there with that quote.Dark souls is another beast when it comes to gameplay variety.You have a variety of weapons including different types of katana, curved swords, rapiers spears, and greatswords. The only good ones are the ones yiu exchange for Twisted Souls" "Most of the weapons in DS3 are recycled from previous games and pretty generic. Even Miyazaki himself admitted there wasn't enough variety in the way you play.lack of magic and special upgrades played a huge part as well. Yeah like the threaded cane was used by everyone.BB weapons were a little too gimmicky.most players either used Ludwig's Holy Blade or the hunters axe. Went for both eh.or do you mean quality over quantity. "I thibk BB went for quality and quantity."
