Can we just agree that souls dead? Can't another company take over the genre?
So the beta test for Dark Souls 3 is over soon? I've been waiting a long time for that. Enjoyed the final version of DS2 a lot.
Isaiah Martin
Sad but true. This is all Bamco's fault.
Lucas Green
I haven't played dark souls 3 for ages and have not bought the dlc?
Is it dead? Maybe. FROM never learns from their mistakes. Still shit balancing, lackluster covenants, copy and paste dlc.
Henry Long
>breaking news! DLCs are shit!!
Hi! Thanks for choosing to become a gamer in 2017! Gaming is a pretty fun, but rather expensive hobby. Just a pro tip for your next purchase- DLC, in general, for virtually every game, IS JUST cut content that they release at a later date and charge you 1/4 the cost of the game for an hour or two of additional gameplay and reused assets. I feel sorry you were suckered into Dark Souls DLC. One of the most notorious series for recycling old content from past games.
Hopefully you will learn your lesson and choose to not spend your next parents allowance on a piece of DLC.

>separated servers with "new content" Seriously? They're doing this shit again?
Tyler Perez
Post source, nigger.
Elijah King
>separated servers with "new content"
Not believing this until I'm literally linked source.
Lincoln Fisher
Pulling shit out of his ass, it's literally a bog standard 'GOTY' edition with all the DLC included. It's not a case of Scholar of the First Sin again.
Thomas Barnes
They just need to take a break from Souls games.
Ian Gonzalez
>Gaming is a pretty fun, but rather expensive hobby.
If you think gaming is expensive, you've never had any other hobby.
Josiah Wright
They did it once and we bought the game again. They know we'll pay.
Benjamin Reed
I'm hyped niggro.
Nathaniel Gonzalez
Drawing is not expensive at all. Lucrative actually, nothing like drawing neon furry dicks for extra money.
Thomas Peterson
But SotFS wasn't a GOTY edition, it was a straight rework of the game.
Anthony Parker
They always have been dude, it's just more acceptable here now. Bandai Namco charges like $80 for Gundam games because it's Gundam. Then they release hundreds of dollars of suit dlcs.
Isaiah Ward
>straight rework LOL
Caleb Price
Have you even looked at any other hobbies? Video games are cheap as shit. I collect guns and cars. I've spent more on two guns than I have on my entire video game collection man. Also just be patient and wait for the goty or definitive edition of a game to come out before buying it. That's what I do because fuck buying single player dlc seperate
Connor White
Don't buy it then.
Souls IS dead, this is the end.
Grayson Rogers
>goty sold in april
Where does it says that?
Julian Baker
Even outside of collecting, sports cost a small fucking fortune. Gear and annual licences add up so fucking quickly.
Thomas Garcia
Comparing this to the Old Hunters trailer makes it pretty underwhelming. The music is uninspired, the art direction and color are still lacking, the area doesn't look too interesting and the boss' design is about as creative as the Iron King. Hopefully this is just one small fraction of the DLC, but after AoA, I'm skeptical.
Luke Clark
>decide I need a secondary hobby >get into cars >broke Worth it tho
Adam Hall
You know that they made a SOTFS because of PS4 port, right, my dude-man bitch nigger?
Benjamin Sanchez
Why are you asking us if you bought the dlc or not? Fucking retard???
Ryan Roberts

"Souls" is not a genre, you neogafer mongoloid.

What a great idea. Abandon the mediocre Souls game for the worst Souls game. What a genius.
Daniel Parker

Joseph Taylor
It's the most expensive hobby in entertainment next to maybe the theatre. I dunno about prices in the US, but here in the UK a new book is about £8-£10, a new film (on blu-ray) is about £15-£20, a new game is about £40-£60. along with that, to play games you've gotta buy £300-£400 consoles (both of the current gens if you want all the exclusives), along with spending around £600 for a decent PC (again, for exclusives, or mods, or just an overall more enjoyable gaming experience). Add it all up and it becomes pretty fucking pricey shit.
Jordan Carter
>all the blu ray you bought now everything is in 4K fuck
Grayson Howard
>first time season pass purchase >trust in From to deliver good quality DLC, like usually >first time From delivers shit DLC and jews people
I'm so disappointed. On top of that, the game itself wasn't even much better than DaS2.
They improved on the level design but took many steps back, like the shit DaS2 added for instance. Fuck the fanservice as well.
>If you missed out on Dark Souls III entirely a Game of the Year Edition is planned for April 21, and will feature the original game and both DLC expansions. It’s called The Fire Fades Edition, and wil be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
eat shit op
Robert Taylor
Your average game gives you far more hours of entertainment than any movie or book. Unless you're a slow as fuck reader. Who even buys DVD's with how easy it is to stream literally anything these days.
Brandon Richardson

Carson Powell
Very little is in 4k. There are lots of 4k displays, but the content is lacking. And lots of things that were released to Blu-ray will take a LONG time to come to 4k, if they ever do. I'm in the same boat as you. I think we're safe.
Jayden Parker
>GOTY version of a game with all DLC costs less than I paid for standard edition

William Stewart
yes the series is dead. faggots hyping it up gave them the free pass they needed to do lazy EA style cash grabbing rehashing gimmicks.
let it die so they can start fresh.

What a fucking shocker, you poor piece of shit.
Wyatt Foster
Source you fucking nigger.
Isaac Robinson
People buy Souls games as soon as they come out so they can duel before the hype dies down and everyone leaves.
I don't understand. Just pirate Jedi Academy and play a less laggy, better balanced (read: balanced at all) version of the same.
Oliver Long
>liking star wars
kys
Luke Wood
Kek, Pain of Ages has been the last boss on these lists since last year before the base game came out.
Lucas Wood
Leave the souls formula to me, FROM-senpai
Oliver White
Eh who cares, Nioh is the next stage in the evolution of the Souls games. I can't go back to that slow casual baby shit
Carter Walker
>separated servers i just now thought of this and holy fuck, burn it all down.
At least SotfS had enough changed about the game to maybe(it didn't) but maybe make it worth the price
Jace Sanchez
>worst I see what you did there memester
Landon Sanchez
Personally, I prefered King's Field
Nolan Gutierrez
>cut content boss
Most of the DLC is cut content. You were supposed to explore the converged city shit before going to the final boss. There's a reason why they have you teleport from the shrine bonfire in that world and then immediately another one outside that goes straight to the boss.
Anthony Thomas
>And will feature the original game For a second there I thought it meant it included DaS1.
Jeremiah Sullivan
>another Chaos demon >some dragon boss at the end (Ocelotte maybe) >No Primordial Serpents shown >mashed up areas from different times so they can reuse content
Painted world 2.0 dlc was mediocre as fuck and this looks shit as well. Das1, 2 and Bloodborne had great dlc's, now they're not even trying anymore
Ethan Parker
Not that guy but it's not a meme.
DS2 is genuinely bad.
Alexander Sullivan
Poland looks sinister AF
Hudson Miller
So it's basically the Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin all over again?
Mason Young
the russian guy should get replaced with the US guy because unlike the Russian guy the US person actually has battle experience , served for decades and wasn't placed in his position just because
Jace Sullivan
>6 (SIX) weapons >3 armor sets >separated servers with "new content"
You got a source for these points? No way the last DLC will be a perfect 10/10 of this seems a little too extreme.
Gavin Cox
But it can't be the worst when Dark "watered down linear action game" Souls 3 exists.
Carter Adams
Does the GOTY edition have any differences besides DLC? I played through the game in a few days when it first came out over at a friends hut I haven't bought it and haven't wanted to, there wasn't anything I wanted to do again and PvP was boring compared to the other games. The first DLC looks bland and a boss that takes forever doesn't seem fun. Is there any reason to buy the GOTY edition?
Carson Bennett
>Implying linearity is inherently bad
When did this become a thing?
Asher Evans
No it's not. Only retard would say something like this.
Matthew Adams
why the fuck would they try? user if i told you today that it is impossible to fire you from your job because for some reason your retarded boss worships you you would half ass every task until the day that you died
in fact , youre actually about to die so you give even less fucks
videogames are a business now and thats it, its not a 50-50 thing . When someone creates a level theyre not thinking about how to make it amazing , theyre thinking about what parts of what you have completed could get cut to go into dlc and how you can do the least amount of effort while still getting away with your game selling .
Of course when your game has a fanbase that can only be described with the word "pathethic"or "cult-like" theres not much that can go wrong in terms of your games sales
so you give EVEN less fucks
videogames are dead as a whole OP, the best you can hope for nowadays is for a small developer to make a good small game that doesnt cater to current standards but still that company and most likely even the game will get bastardized when one of these absolutely retarded and talentless youtubers makes a video about it praising it as if it were the second coming of christ . Then some equally retarded faggot makes a thread on reddit to get upvotes while he pretends he "discovered "the game and then bandwagoning ensues and the retards make a subreddit and basically force the developers to post there regularly about the sequel they beg for daily and then they post there every 10 fucking minutes about how they would like this or that in the sequel and then the sequel is a heartless shell that looks prettier and runs better but doesnt hold a candle to the first one
Caleb Young
It isn't inherently bad, but it's had when any semblance of branding paths are pointless and dumb.
One of the biggest loads of bullshit I experienced in this game was exploring that swamp and finding those 3 hand monsters only to defeat them and get nothing but 3 purging stones. I don't even remember what curse does in this game but it wasn't DaS curse where a reward like that would actually be worthwhile.
Nathaniel Edwards
How so?
Jeremiah Davis
But it is inherently bad, especially in games they expect you to play more than once.
The only benefits of linearity are - narrative; but this is Dark Souls it doesn't have a narrative. - a balanced difficulty curve, but the only benefit of that is so new players aren't tricked into going to high level areas (eg, you don't have Dark Souls 1 where people went to New Londo). It is only a detriment in skill based games like Souls because competent players are shackled to the main path.
If you disagree, what benefits does the linear structure bring to Dark Souls that outweigh the drawbacks?
Carson Edwards
is this a pasta
Samuel Young
>smelter demon again >6 (SIX) weapons >3 armor sets >separated servers with "new content" >people will have to buy the game again, on the same platform
All of these claims are false.
Jeremiah Rogers
Wow you must have a lot of experience in videogames what games are you referencing that this applies to? As a fellow gamer I can only belie that you are referring to all the latest and greatest AAA developers of they make me so mad!
I was playing BB and there was so much stuff just for DLC and to make more money! I found so many things that should have been in the game but they were DLC! I played TLG recently and same thing! Wow and I bet Nioh is going to be the same way too.
tl;dr you have shit taste in videogames and this is your own fault for being retarded
Gavin Baker
This is some pretty mighty shitposting, I will give you that. It's like a "best of souls shitposting compilation"
David Clark
Post YFW you've been going through your backlog and don't even buy games new, thus waiting for the inevitable GOTY version with all DLC at 50% off.

>tfw bought ds 1 for 20€ and got free dlc afterwards >tfw still haven't bought ds 2 or 3 >tfw still waiting for 2 and 3 to release an all content 20€ bundle
just be patient mate it's all the retards fault for buying the game at release for 60€ and then dishing out another 10 or 20 for each dlc that made the publishers that greedy
it's not even anything new in ds3, basically just a rehash of what they had before, albeit a good one, that fixes some things but also breaks others
though I must admit, those jews sure are tough, every other trashy game like witcher or skyrim has a major price drop just a year or so after release, yet ds3 is still fucking 60

I had fun times with the game, don't get me wrong. Character building was my favourite aspect, but everything else was a let down.

Dominic Barnes
Good point. Not entirely sure what linearity can bring to Dark Souls, but personally I can play the game repeatedly through with different builds to make things interesting.
Maybe Speedrunning?
Adrian Thomas
Doesn't SOTFS have separate servers to the Original?
Why is it hard to believe DS3 GOTY will do the same?
