This is the best game of all time

yeah, all of your opinions

desfags pretending to be veterans of the series

The good parts are all taken from Bloodborne, like the fast paced combat and fast attacking enemies. They just re-skinned it to sell it to pvp obsessed fags and to finish their contract with Bamco. It's a bland game.

Ds3 is consistently shallow and boring. Ds1 second half bad meme is ridiculously overblown by retards who dont understand tone shift.

I agree, but that's because i'm an invasionfag and there has literally been nothing else to fill the void das3 pvp left.

DS1 > Sekiro > DS2 > Rest
Official opinion too, don't bother trying ot refute it.

Lmao "Tone Shift" is that what you call shit design? it's like they ran out of time hours before they game released but they had to at least ship something out when it comes to certain levels. The first half of the game was the undead burg/town+Anor Lando, after that its literally go backtrack to places on the map and kill 4-5 bosses until the end

Every time I hear this meme and ask for justification it boils down to some variation of “Izalith is bad and Duke’s Archives and Catacombs were too hard :(“. like lmao git gud faggot

I'm not sure you know what a tone shift.
Going from good level design to shitty level design is not a "tone shift"

>after that its literally go backtrack to places on the map
there are 4 new areas after that, you have to backtrack to get there but at that point you can teleport

>reddjt tier game
I agree. Better than bloodborne and sekiro

There is no real difference in gameplay between the two 'halfs' besides the addition of warping which does nothing but shift the tone.
But please, do elaborate on why half of the game is suddenly trash. I'll be happy to refute you on every point.

>souls 3 is consistent from beginning to end

Consistently the worst game in the series.

ESL DS3 babby strikes again

It's great, but Bloodborne and DS1 are better.

Let's give into your retarded and unsubstantiated claim (that you're just parroting) that half of ds1 is not good. That still puts it half a game up over ds3 which is a boring uninspired pile of shit from beginning to end. You have no taste and half of a brain. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm not sure you know what makes levels good or bad.
I'm also not sure if you understand the actual differences to Dark Souls' gameplay loop both post and pre O&S.

Dark Souls sucks,I don't even need to play it. It's stupid

>The second half of Dark Souls 1 is laughable, it's like the developers gave someone Mario Maker level tools and let them go stupid

The best thing is watching people sperg out about this and call it a meme. It's not a meme. It's objectively one of the worst experiences ever created in video game history. It's a factual consensus. Denying the second half is horrible is literally as batshit insane as claiming the earth is flat. It goes beyond subjectivity and could become a study topic on game design if video games ever became a studied art on the level of classic cinema. There could be a behind the actors studio with esteemed university directors coming together to explaine the philosophical and critical factors as to why the first half is so fantastic and the second half is as painful as Jesus being beaten before crucifixion. It's almost a religious experience that absolves you of your sins like stigmata whipping yourself and salting the wounds to purify your soul. I would rather listen to my mother beg for mercy while somebody kills her than replay the second half of Dark Souls.

The creators apologized for it. That's literally unheard of. To defend the second half is truly a mental illness surpassing all currently known diagnoses and is a new mixture of arrogance, naivety, low IQ, financial poverty, cult like worship, masochism and self induced post traumatic stress disorder all wrapped up in a package of utter delusion and fear.

Don't reply to me DS1 fans, just get naked and Zweihander for 900 hours like you've already done. Holy shit.

Gay. Linear third person singleplayer with HUD, spongy enemies and bosses. Made for kids.

cute copypasta but only 4/10 from me, too many stereotypical phrases and lines.

>the second half is as painful as Jesus being beaten before crucifixion. It's almost a religious experience that absolves you of your sins like stigmata whipping yourself and salting the wounds to purify your soul.
Why do you make the second half of the game sound so good if you hate it so much

Stop replying to bait, retards.

No, I don't think I will. I'm smarter than you. Debate me about it.

Huh? Izalith WAS shit and the catacombs weren't hard, Nito is a shit boss fight.

Okay?

The general flow of the game shifts, there's no continuity, not only that but there are areas in the second half of the game that is laughably bad, there's a very obvious shift in quality that is instantly noticeable in those areas. Not only that but when you get to anor lando and get Havel's set it pretty much trivalizes a lot of boss fights, you can just posture throw 90% of attacks.

LMAO someone's mad. I'm not parroting anything, I actually played the games back to back, this is my own opinion compared to many of you retards. The only real difference in DS1 and DS3 is that DS3's combat is faster than DS1, that isn't even an issue, it doesnt make the game easier or anything.

Izalith is 1/4 of the second half of the game. That’s mathematically speaking 1/8th of the whole game. I don’t know about you but 1/8 and 1/2 are not the same thing.

>"Hmm, yes, I rate this a 4/10."

Dark Souls 2 will always be the retarded black sheep of the series
