So I absolutely loved Dark Souls III and played it so much there was nothing surprising left in it any more and could beat any enemy easily (all enemies and bosses in DSIII can be defeated by circle strafing). I played Dark Souls II and ragequit in that stupid loving poison swamp that was nothing but garbage.

Seeking new challenges and with nowhere else left to go, I bought Dark Souls: Remastered so that I could experience where it all began.

Gotta say it's not that fun so far. Just a bunch of running around in the dark and killing really slow moving zombies. I also killed a fat demon thing in the tutorial level by circle-strafing it to death. Even DS II was more fun by this point because it had those giant armored guys.

E: this is now also a photoshop/MSPaint thread

Yeah I heard there was a Samurai Souls game coming out soon. I'm cautiously optimistic. It takes place in hell, which is kind of a turnoff for me because I prefer my games to take place on the mortal plane , but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as long as there are plenty of enemies that make you go "lol nope" as soon as you see them.

Edited for what was a spoiler I guess????????????? I've never played or seen more than a few seconds of trailer so I have no idea.

DS III was a delight and I had hours of fun discovering what was around the next corner.

Followed by hours of slightly less fun going around that corner four hundred more times until I figured out how to stop the thing on the other side from killing me (the answer was circle strafing).

From the trailers it looks like it doesn't take place in hell so the guy who vaguely described the game to me might have been mistaken.

Dark Souls is fun as hell and the remaster is great because it has an extremely active community that can trivialize even the hardest bosses for you. if you found stuff in DS3 to be cheesable with circle strafing, uh, DSR is gonna be much easier because you can cheese many things in many different ways

sekiro owns and is super hard and fun but it is definitely not a Souls game


if you want samurai Souls try nioh, it is this delicious blend of Souls style levels and ninja gaiden combat

sekiro is probably better overall tho, it owns

Pretty sure you spoiled the ever living poo poo out of the entire setting, especially to people not familiar with Japanese myths.

You pretty much said same thing two of my friends said when they were describing the setting. I never knew that information was a spoiler either. Think they may just be overreacting.

nah the setting is 1500s japan but a twist has been hinted at. that would make sense as the twist and if it's right it's a huge spoiler. but I'm gonna just pretend it's not.
