i always come back here when i think of my life being without her and wanting to die.

[@jhason7350]

Life is brilliant. Beautiful. It enchants us, to the point of obsession. Some are true to their purpose, though they are but shells, flesh and mind. One man lost his own body, but lingered on, as a head. Others chase the charms of love, however elusive. All men trust fully the illusion of life. But is this so wrong? A construction, a facade, and yet... A world full of warmth and resplendence. But the question remains... What do you want, truly? Light? Dark? Or something else entirely... There is no path. Beyond the scope of light, beyond the reach of Dark... ...what could possibly await us? And yet, we seek it, insatiably...

In Dark Souls it seems like all the characters or bosses are hypnotized by the fact that they have to fight to death for someone or something they believe in but they still don't realize that what they are fighting for has either fallen apart or is dead, that's a real masterpiece

For such a hard game, Soulsborne games have some of the most amazing sceneries and character models in video games. There’s so much more appealing elements to add onto the difficulty

[@Pessimistic-Python]

Scratching the surface of Soulsborne "Difficulty" provides one a peek into an amazingly drab and uniquely opaque world, one which you can shape with your actions, however minute they may be. Its a really neat thing and is what propelled my enjoyment of the souls series and its others to the moon.

Ds1 is my favorite game and Dark Souls is my favorite game series, I just got done with my first playthrough of Elden Ring a while ago and just a few days ago I realized it was the end. I sat there, horrified, realizing that there would be no more Dark Souls content. no more Dark Souls games, no more lore, story, emotion. Miyazaki is an absolute genius storyteller and game designer, mastered the dark fantasy aesthetic, and captured our hearts. Thank you, Fromsoft, and thank you, Miyazaki.

[@jhason7350]

Listen, this is not the end, even though the weight of your soul feels impossible to bear. In this world of darkness and desolation, it’s easy to believe there’s no hope, that the light has faded forever. But just as the Undead rise again, you too can rise once more. The shadows around you are not eternal, and though the suffering runs deep, the flame inside you still burns, however faint. Every step you take, no matter how painful, is a testament to your strength. Even in the darkest of worlds, there is the possibility of redemption, of finding a glimmer, no matter how small. Your struggle is not over, bearer of the curse. Keep walking, not for what you’ve lost, but for what you may yet find. The embers of hope still glow, and in time, the darkness that surrounds you will fade.

[@Nistaa]

Despite being a hard game, with hopelessness everywhere and a dark world surrounding you, making people think that the only thing that matters is to finished the game as fast as possible, it's when you finish the game, that you just realize how good of a game it was. The exact moment when you realize there won't be anymore content, the real "end". Makes me cry just thinking about it. It's only now that you realize, that you've gone hollow.

[@Azure9577]

Sorry to break it to you but soulsborne is massively inspired by berserk, the most influential dark fantasy of all time

[@yourfavoritezoomer9104]

@@Azure9577 I've read berserk and while the inspirations are very prevalent, they are two very different worlds. The berserk universe, as messed up as it is, is alive and well. Dark souls feels like you are walking through the husk of a world that died long before it was supposed to. Very different atmospheres.

[@prosaic.7944]

I love Souls series. But let me tell you that there is NOTHING unique about Souls games. Characters are archetypes from Greek, Abrahamic and Japanese mythologies. As an example, Gwyn is an archetypal mix of Jesus and Zeus. Character designs are inspired by many great games and artists, such as Magic: The Gathering, Miura, Bosch and Raimi. Souls games are mythologies turned into a video game form, a beautiful patchwork of the works of artists and real-life mythos.

[@yourfavoritezoomer9104]

[@SomeGuylivinglife]

I feel dark souls is about clinging to the tiniest bit of hope, even if its a single thread, to hopefully overcome adversity and challenge. Even the story's in the world of rekindling that dying ember to go on for just another age, only to know that it won't change that eventual end of the fire we still kindle it striving to continue this dying and terrible world, to one day bring forth a change and chance to have those you care about live and continue. This even applies to real life as we all strive for success even if it's slim and we want those we care for to live and thrive, to continue to a new age to be happy. Sorry for rambling i just got really passionate about this.
