[@thejoke1092]

Daniel Ayy it’s just kind of a meme in the community, same with vitality in dark souls 3. Resistance only provides an okay benefit in the early game but if you were to put the point in something else like strength or endurance by the time you get to the mid-late game you would have passively gained the same benefits from resistance by leveling other stats anyway. So it kind of makes the stat useless.

[@JillLulamoon]

I'm a Dark Souls super fan, and one of my favorite parts of these games is watching and hearing the expierences of new players. Glad you finally tried the games and seemed to have enjoyed it. Though there is very much a story to these games, however if it's good or well told is up for debate. Praise the Sun, chosen undead. Also we need to get you to try Bloodborne.

[@vejymonsta3006]

The story is very well told, considering it is told mostly through cryptic item descriptions and environment cues. There is so much depth to the lore that any one person would have to replay the game multiple times to get the full story. I'm not surprised Johnny thought there wasn't much story to it at all. Unless you actively follow the community or play the game many times, then you will miss almost everything. It even looks like he missed a bunch of character quest lines. There is much more replay-ability in Dark Souls than just what you can do with character builds. I think he even managed to miss the DLC area here! The best area of the game!

[@hoodedman6579]

+VejyMonsa "The story is very well told, considering it is told mostly through cryptic item descriptions and environment cues. " - We may have different definitions of "well told"; how can a game that primarily tells its story with "cryptic item descriptions" ever qualify for such a label?

[@InFamousStickFigure]

>didn't praise the sun >Didn't lore >Didn't invest into vitality and then complained about getting killed constantly Oh look a kitten! All is forgiven.

[@AFPgamer]

InFamousStickFigure I feel like Vitality is a beginner's trap. If you put too many levels in that you won't be able to do more damage and use better weapons and you'll just have more than average health which usually ends up just being an extra 1 or 2 hits with most difficult enemies.

[@InFamousStickFigure]

I didn't have that problem my first time through, worse problem I had was trying to do a faith build too quickly and didn't invest enough in anything else so I could take a hit and the damage output wasn't a good trade off. And I disagree again, having at least 20-30 vitality depending on your skill will make it so you can take more like 4-6 hits more. It's only not worth it when the health increments for when it increases begins to have a hard cap.

[@unclebenjamin9825]

Dark Souls has a great story if you take the time and look into it.

[@FatPlaysGames]

By far one of the best stories I've ever experienced in a game. You just don't get it handed to you on a silver platter. You can talk to NPCs for more info, but the absolute *best* thing you can do is read item descriptions. You'd be surprised how much lore is stuffed into a pair of gauntlets or some coins. I think it's perfect. Players who don't give a rat's ass about story aren't forced to watch unskippable cutscenes, and players who do care about it can read the beautifully written tidbits of lore.

[@FatPlaysGames]

Lore is story...that's its literal meaning. If you mean that you're not happy because you don't have a DIRECTIVE, you do- the game just gives you the freedom to do it in whatever order you want. From the beginning you're told to ring the Bells of Awakening, and you're told why you have to do it. After that, you're told what your purpose is by Kingseeker Frampt, and you're tasked with satiating the Lordvessel. I won't spoil the ending for those who haven't played it...but there's absolutely a story to it. If you found the gameplay stupid and level design "uneven", though, this really is not the game for you. You'll get a lot more enjoyment out of something like Skyrim or The Witcher.

[@FatPlaysGames]

I'm sorry you feel that way. I completely disagree with all of your points, and have my ideas as to why you feel the way you do, but I'm not going to argue. Have a good day.

[@FatPlaysGames]

I've played the entire series, the first game I've beaten six times. There are minimal glitches, and next to no cheap deaths. While yes, it's a matter of opinion, I believe in this case the problem is that people expect Dark Souls to be just another RPG. It's fundamentally different and you cannot assume that your prior knowledge of RPGs is enough to carry you through without bothering to learn the basics of the game.

[@FatPlaysGames]

It's not that you're too stupid, it has nothing to do with intelligence. Again, Dark Souls just doesn't hand the story to you like other games do (not that there's anything wrong with an easy-to-understand story.) Dark Souls' plot is just hidden, you have to look for it. If you'd like, I can give you a full summary right here in the comments, to prove it to you. I disagree with your comments about broken hitboxes- now, Dark Souls II? Absolutely, the hitboxes are heavily flawed in that game, although it's still pretty solid IMO. But the original game has some of the best hitboxes. If you disagree though, that's alright. I really appreciate that you're at least clarifying that you bear no ill will towards fans of the series. I respect anyone who understands that opinions are a thing. So while our tastes may differ, I'm still glad we had this conversation. Have a good day :)

[@infernaltee675]

[@brandonlyon730]

2 is still good but yeah it’s the weakest in the series, I might be just used to dark souls at that point but I thought most of the bosses were too easy, the only bosses that gave me any real trouble were the lost soul and the blight queen though that’s more for there environment then the actual boss itself (it being bitch black in the former and the room being filled with poison in the latter) and both of these obstacles can be eliminated if you know what your doing. The only real dark souls worthy boss in it I will say is the Flume Knight seriously that guy can go to hell.

[@DianaTaffie]

I would disagree again and consider it one of the best in the series, an underrated gem mostly because fanboys being fanboys because this game is a "B-team game". I kinda see it as a prequel to Bloodborne in terms of gameplay and gamedesign thingies, tho not as fleshed out and polished as Bloodborne and overall different in feel.

[@Ph34rth3hhum4n4t0r]

Alright, I this is where I come in. Souls 2 is certainly the most different out of all the other Souls games, but that doesn't make it weaker than the others. 2 does many things that make it significantly more replayable than the other games, such as a much more refined magic system, the most diverse movesets for weapons, and a new game plus that's actually worthwhile. With 2, you have to take much better care with every action you do, as stamina costs can be more brutal with consecutive actions, and chugging is easily punished. 3, on the other hand, lets you chug without consequence and doesn't really punish you for having a heavy build, even though poise doesn't work in the game. If you think Souls 2 is easy, then 3 is worth another go because that game is really just knowing how to press B.

The thing about Blighttown is not just that it's tricky to navigate; it's that it compromises performance big time. Even on high end PCs, Blighttown will slow everything down or drop the frame rate to very low numbers. I have a GTX 1070 and Blighttown still lowers the frame rate with and without the DSFix mod. The remastered version fixed this issue thankfully.

[@OmegaCoolsterDX]

strange i myself am a GTX 1070 users and Blight Town doesn't crap itself on my PC, the area before ceasless discharge on the other hand always drops to 15 fps when looking in a certain angles, but let's be real, the PC Version was still the go to version even at it's time, people often tell it was a bad port but the game itself ran like total garbage on consoles ;p

[@brandonlyon730]

Blightown was also nicknamed Lagtown.

[@edr8054]

Also the fact that you so much as sneeze in that place, you aggro a shit-ton of poison/toxic fuckers who'll wreck your shit.

[@GIR177]

The frame rate is why I consistently avoid that one area in Darkroot Garden with the giant cats. Fuck those things.

[@OneOnlyDan]

It's worth mentioning that once you learn how these games works you'll be able to beat it WAY faster than your first playthrough. My first Soulsborne game was DS3, and my first playthrough took more than 60 hours. Nowadays, I can beat it in less than 15 hours.

[@OmgMLGsniper127]

Yknow that dark souls 3 is easier than Dark Souls 1. I'm not contradicting your statement, but its just a little factoid for ya there.

[@bramvandalen9851]

Randy Manus that all depends on the person playing, personally i had a way easier time on my first ds1 playthrough than on ds3, but i can easily see why people think otherwise.

[@Alexandergoat123]

@@OmgMLGsniper127 This is a VERY late reply ik. But Dark Souls 3 is leagues more difficult when it comes to combat and bosses. Shit ive beaten Ds3 multiple times and i still get rocked every time i go up against the nameless king or champion gundyr. I could play through Ds1 blindfolded. The game becomes a chore after a few playthroughs,

The Dark Souls of cats

[@JJ_R]

Oh my God! A kitty!

[@CyberSurferXD]

My favorite moment to look back on was during my original run. I had lost my internet so I was unaware of the early patches to the game.... namely the one that limited how much curses stack.... it was my first run and I went completely blind so I found myself at the bottom of Ash lake... with no purging stones.... no lordvessel.... and a max hp of one. So it was either start a new game... or be stubborn as shit and make it up tout of the lake and through Blighttown without being able to take a single hit or stand in the poison water for more than a few seconds. It was the single most grueling experience I've ever had in a game and yet the overwhelming satisfaction of finally perfecting the run and being rewarded with the merchant and my health back has yet to be topped. (In a way I almost feel bad as new players won't get to experience the same level of frustration and the euphoric satisfaction since the curses now cap at about a third of your total health.... but then I remember how playing without the cap made the game all but unplayable and it's defiantly for the best. There's difficulty... and then there is broken game design that was rightfully fixed.)

[@codyssmith73]

[@horricule451]

"There's no rhyme or reason why you fight these guys, they're just in the way most of the time" A lot of them like Ornstein and Smough, along with Sif actually do have reasons, it's just that it's explained in the lore instead of the main plot. Which is something I like about this game, it's able to cater both to people who want a deep narrative and people who just want to kill big monsters.

[@coolmen7000]

not quite. people who would like a deep and well, understandable story, meaning without reading for hours now on every wepon and wall, will not find it in dark souls. it is there, to some extent, but it will not fulfill that need.

[@stevenhedge2850]

except if you miss that shit, than it really means nothing.

[@horricule451]

coolmen7000 well, I didn't exactly mean like a metal gear solid style narrative or even a traditional narrative in general, but if you want lore and worldbuilding, then it's there. That and you don't have to read through every weapon for hours and hours because the internet exists.

[@ApexGale]

most people don't hate blighttown because of its atmosphere and layout. in fact, i'd argue that blighttown is one of the most well designed areas in the game. they hate blighttown because the framerate on any console that doesn't have really good specs drops to a staggering low which seriously cripples the experience and gives people bias against the area. i.e. "How am I supposed to traverse this rickety bridge if I'm barely in control, or dodge the toxic snipers, or the mosquitoes?"

[@eduardofreitas8336]

yeah especially the 360 version. its painful.

Selene is adorable Johnny I'm glad she found a good home with you. Her story reminds me alot of my little Dachshund Peanut he wasn't abandoned by his mother but when he entered our lives he had one of the most horrifying and deadly pet diseases out there. Parvo which to those who don't know is like dysentery times a hundred for both Cats and Dogs. As a rule most pups and kittens will not last long at all with this it severely dehydrates them and they loose a lot of blood due to it infecting the intestines. But Peanut was the exception to the rule thanks to my stepmother's determined to keep him alive. She lost a week of sleep and kept cleaning him up and giving him this nutrient water that babies often drink and he pulled out of the dive and he's been my best buddy since. Selene is in great hands and she's the first Super Gaming Sister. I still can't get over how tiny Kittens and Pups are when that age. I mean look at her she's small enough to fit into the Playschool Triceratops Dinozord toy. Hahaha I would love to see that photoshopped Sadly I'm a spriter not a photoshopper so anyone who thinks it'd be cute feel free to make it for Johnny. I wish you guys all the best. Love the George Carlin stuff at the end still don't beat "Icebox repairman".
