Forums - Gaming - Let's talk a bit about the Souls franchise (Bloodborne players are welcomed too)

· What's your favourite Souls game? What's your least liked/most disliked one? How would you rank them?
I've only played Demon's, Dark 1, and Bloodborne. My favorite is Bloodborne, for its gameplay tweaks as much as its aesthetic. This may be unpopular but I also enjoyed Demons over Dark 1. Imo it had better atmosphere and story even if Dark 1 is much more intricate.

· Favourite boss in the franchise?
My favorites tend to be the humanoids that play by (most of) the same rules you do, particularly BB hunters where duels are fast and heated dances with lots of back and forth (as opposed to one sided, slip up and die, pattern recognition monster fights). Battling Djura on top of a cathedral with a nice view of the city below was probably the most satisfying boss for me.

· Something you'd change from a specific game? An area, specific part of a lore, a dungeon?
I know the swamp levels are supposed to be pestilent trials but they're still a pain. Not crazy about pitch black areas where a torch doesn't behave like it ought to, either.

· Most frustrating moment for you?
Every game has bosses that your playstyle and character spec are weak against but others might trample. The boss I can remember giving me the most grief is definitely Laurence from The Old Hunters. That guy took me hours.

· Would you rather bang Priscilla or the Maiden in Black? How about the Doll?
Once you go black...

· What was Miyazaki thinking when designing Dark Souls 3?
Haven't played it.

(though I actually managed to beat NG Flamelurker quite easy).

I know that plenty of people struggle with that boss, but I also found Flamelurker extremely easy on my very first attempt. A mediocre melee build and a bit of skill can pretty much obliterate him. Dunno if it is because he punishes more magic users or what.



· What's your favourite Souls game? What's your least liked/most disliked one? How would you rank them?

Favorite is still the original Dark Souls, the one I like the least is Demons Souls (not that it´s a bad game, it´s still very good)..though each area in the game is unique, I find it a very short game.

My rank for them would be DS1>Bloodborne>DS3>DS2>Demons Souls

· Favourite boss in the franchise?

Hard question, I don´t even remember each and every one in all the 5 Souls games, but off the top of my head, I´d say Artorias in DS1

· Something you'd change from a specific game? An area, specific part of a lore, a dungeon?

Chalice dungeons in Bloodborne...talk about boring

· Most frustrating moment for you

I guess the very first time I played Demons Souls, like the whole game was frustrating but at the same time oddly addictive

· Would you rather bang Priscilla or the Maiden in Black? How about the Doll?

Errr...none of them, really

· What was Miyazaki thinking when designing Dark Souls 3?

Not sure what you mean by that question....but maybe that he didn´t really wanna be making it, I dunno...Miyazaki seems to really shine when making new worlds, not sequels

How about Maria, then?

Just wanted to say that Dark Souls has rekindled my love for videogames. Currently halfway through DS3, loving it after being somewhat disappointed by DS2. I am yet to play Bloodborne.

But on a more serious note, I can understand that sentiment. First time I played through Dark Souls it was an experience unlike any other I've had in many, many years of gaming.

Now we´re talking



Favourites in order, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls 2.

Though I've probably had the most pvp fun on DS3.



Tagging for later.
