the best dark souls healing system was hollow knight

because there is only one heal at the start.

I like the possibility of death due to attrition, so I don't like lifegems and I don't like 20 blood vials either

it's much more rewarding imo to find items that give more heals than items that strengthen each heal

20 max is definitely way too much though

Dark souls 1 estus system but only 10 estus max ever would be the sweet spot imo

maybe add in slowly gaining the estus max with shards like ds2 too

I now see why soulslikes struggle with this stuff, I’m a “ds1 had it basically perfect” guy but looks like it takes all kinds

momodora does it best, where you start with a small amount of vials that heal a consistent ratio of health and can find more, but also if you beat a boss without your health changing then you get a cool item

never had to grind for blood vials lmao

this system sounds like it's one of those rear end-backwards ones that are only an issue for people who are worse at the game, who need the help the most.

I wanna play a game that gets appropriately harder the better you get and further you progress. Deathloop had some babysteps there but was still always easy

dark souls is actually like every Zelda game except BOTW, which departed from the Zelda formula to become a soulslike

I think it turned out it was the closed captioning for the dub with the inaccurate translation but the actual subtitles were fine

1 don't ever watch dubs, 2 of course the dub translation and the subtitled translation are not going to be the same, with the dub they have to manipulate the words involved so they can make it look 'real' (it never looks real anyways of course) whereas subs will be the more accurate translation

I mean I'm just guessing that's what happened, maybe the dub had it's own CC that was really bad but I'm thinking they just used the dub and the sub at the same time

no clue but I haven't seen as much interminable whining about it recently so I'm guessing it's getting better?
