| FentonCrackshell said: Wait, hear me out... So, I was so excited to finally (after 6 months) finish Dragon Age: Inquistion so I could start on Dark Souls II and Bloodborne. I start Dark Soul II and after a lackluster character creation I'm thrown into a world of crappy textures, stiff characters, and brown/grey everything. Seriously, this game has 0 atmosphere whatsoever. There's nothing to listen to outside of your character's footsteps and the occasional weapons clanks. The game isn't even the sort of "challenge" that makes the player want to continue playing. You play for 20 minutes and advance fairly far past your starting point, die, and you're thrown right back to the beginning. I've known that From Software games are like this but being that everything mention previously is in existence it must makes the nearly near unplayable. Now, Bloodborne. Bloodborne looked promising. I'm thinking that after disliking Demons Souls and Dark Souls I & II I'd actually like a game from From. NOPE!!! Same knocks: No atmosphere, lame character creation, brown/grey colors, crappy textures, and stiff characters. I put it a good amout of play time into the game and after about 20 minutes and at least 20-25 baddies killed I'm bested by a huge guy with a brick and some demon dogs. Well, guess what? Right back to the beginning. This was probably the first time ever that I've appreciated that little beep the PS4 makes when it turns off. I'm starting to think that when it pertains to these franchises, From is the video game equivalent to Seth McFarlane whereas they take the exact same formula, dress it up a bit different, and receive critical acclaim for making the very same thing they make a few years back. Thank God The Witcher was there to save the day and quench my thirst for a great RPG. Dragon Age: Inquistion = Platinum'd The Witcher III = AWESOME GAME SO FAR!!! Dark Souls II and Bloodborne = eBay!!! |
No atmsopshere? Are you kidding me? I admit that dark souls 2 was by far the worst in that regard, but saying any of the others was lacking in atmosphere is flat out wrong. There's no reason to "here you out."
There are two types of dark souls players. There are the people that die a lot at first, get the hang of it and learn from their mistakes, then there are people like you, who give up after dying one or two times. It's not that you don't have the skill to do well in this game (you may or may not), it's that you let it defeat you before you even gave it a chance. Jesus, they're 60+ hour games, and you seemed to have judged literally every one of them based on the first 20 minutes of you playing them.
