Dark Souls is the most overrated crap ever

 bad art design

Stopped reading right there ! Boy you high on some pills or what !?!?

I agree it's all worthless trash.

One thing you should know about the soul games is that it is all a big piece of garbage. Now before you say *lol u suk the gam0rzz* I love hard and challenging games like NG1/2 DMC3 and have completed most of them. But the souls games are just not my cup of tea, the soul games requires a massive amount of time to spend on grinding I like hard games that I can complete on the get go like NG DMC.

I'm not a fan of spending 60 hours just to complete one level especially when the graphics are subpar and the storyline non existant. I don't have time for this nonsense.

Chrome-

I respect your opinion but the idea that the game requires grinding is simply untrue.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

Its not hard its challenging. Its not cheap, but it punishes you for mistakes. It forces you to think. Seeing as how it seems you aren't very good at doing that I can understand why this game isn't for you.

you have Lightning on your sig and avatar! I don't like the the Souls games either but I rather play that than another sequel to one of the worst games of the generation, FF13.

[QUOTE="VendettaRed07"]

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] Its not about being thinking and it is cheap sometimes. Its about grinding and memorizing the layouts, enemy types and enemy spawns. Minishdriveby

How are any of those not qualified as thinking? Knowing enemies you encounter, their tendencies and how to deal with them on certain terrains. You can't walk in and mash attack buttons willy nilly and expect to win, and not have any punishments for making mistakes or doing something stupid. And Its not JUST about memorzing patterns and repeating or whatever its not contra. 

And I think there were about 3 or 4 times where I felt I had a cheap death. But that doesn't make the game inherently cheap or anything 

Bosses that don't require any strategy other than run up real close and mash attack buttons:

Queelag
Iron Golem
Seath
Gwyn
Gravelord Nito
Four Kings
Pinwheel
Moonlight Butterfly
Centipede demon
Bed of Chaos 

If Dark Souls is a mindless no strategy attack masher I don't even know what I would call even 90% the big budget releases today.

You say all that yet it seems you like FF13. I don't even know where to begin. 

If true could you please enlighten me how that game fairs better in terms of not being a waste of time.

Haha, Oh ok, fair enough.

[QUOTE="blackace"]"The enemies are vastly overpowered, shield blocking will work for a few seconds till your stamina bar drops only to be gangbanged by your AI opponent. Almost anything can one hit kill you off the bat. This can change of course if you are willing to dump a few hundred hours of your life into grinding for souls/ stones to level up enough so that the combat is in your favor." That's exactly what you have to do. Stay in the safe easy area and grind continuously until you level up enough to move further into the game. archvile_78

So, how bout a factual reason why the game is "overrated crap"

the "grinding" claim is sorta getting old, especially if you actually PLAYED the game.

Lol.

It's very easy to pass through undead burg and take out the gargoyles, hell you can even summon sunbro to help so you don't break a nail.

watch enemy movement, take encounters gradually, and don't get surrounded.

I think the main issue with this thread is some just can't realize when it's a good idea to walk away and realize maybe the game just isn't for you.

That doesn't mean it's a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination.

Your insistence on the best way to progress being through grinding makes me think you never even played it.

We can definitely agree that NG/DMC are the superior games.  That I know most certainly.

Agreed, I think it's slow, clunky, and ugly as well. I enjoy an element of speed when it comes to difficulty, and Dark Souls has none of that.

Maybe not but you don't need massive grinding, unless you wanna upgrade a specific weapon to say... +10.

[QUOTE="Chrome-"] I don't know. I remember back in 09 when DS won game of the year someone posted about how it took him 12 hours to get past the first level.

No, no i believe its legit but that's really a case of sucking bad at the game, the first level is easy as hell, even for a newcomer.

Half-Life 2. Uncharted 2.

No.

[QUOTE="ultraking"][QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"]

I agree.Most boring game I have ever played.

Combat is fun for the first few hours,but after that it gets repetitive.Story is non-existent,so there's nothing motivating you to keep playing on.

Why people like this cr*p is beyond me.

[QUOTE="call_of_duty_10"][QUOTE="ultraking"]every game gets repetitive after awhile. And there is a story in dark souls if you pay attention. OB-47

Stupid AI with enemies falling off ledges.

robotapple

im sorry the controls are clunky, the graphics stink, the environment is ugly, the game is not enjoyable.

I really started to appreciate Dark Souls once I got a hang of the controls, and then, once I got the hang of it, it became very quickly tedious. Repeating the same motions over and over to defeat the average AI'd enemies.

Then you decide to finally use your humanity and someone invades your game. You can't disable this and when they get in, you can't do anything about it except wait to die. You'll get backstabbed constantly because of the poor combat and there's nothing you can do about it. I understand having brutal challenges in the game, but bullshit like that? Yeah, that's when I realised I was done with it.

It seems to me that people worship this game because it's "difficult" (it's simply a matter of figuring out the predictable enemy movements) and "hardcore". 

It's "in" to be elitest over a popular game. It's also kind of pathetic. 

Terrible graphics, clunky controls, bad art design, always feels like everything looks the same.

Stupid AI with enemies falling off ledges.

How is this so highly rated by the gaming community? Because it's hard?

 

Give me Ninja Gaiden for a good challenge, Dark Souls sucks.
