Was Dark Souls the first real video game?

Was Dark Souls the first real video game?

what in the fuck does that even mean?
Also Demon Souls is the same fucking thing. Why am I getting so mad?

yes
But did dark souls invent knights?

no

maybe

Yes. But did Dark Souls invent Europe?

What I mean is, can anything made before Dark Souls be properly called a 'video game'? DS was likely the first video game to offer actual difficulty and high challenge in video gaming combined with a rich and intricate storyline - most 'games' before DS were one or the other.

I dunno, but I would definitely say that Dark Souls was the Dark Souls of Dark Souls

please tell me i'm doing a good job

Is this your first time playing? If so, i can forgive you for not using a lighting claymore

why do you have a bow

Why wouldn't you? You can range pull single targets.

you don't need to and you can also do that with pyro

No, just the first good video game in a long while.
One that I can recommend to people who haven't played it 10-15 years from now.

no, stop posting this all the time

...

>what is the CRPG genre

In 10-15 years this will be the game that defined the medium as a whole. So basically, yes.

>Finally bought the season pass to 3 couple days ago, half price.
>Haven't played since finishing it weeks after release last year
>Go back in, completely forgot I was in NG+, all the way back in the High Wall

>Dragon's Dogma is the Dark Souls of fantasy RPGs. Every time.

If you do not count mechanical games that draw an image onscreen, the Fairchild Channel F arrived with the first true video game.

I love dark souls, but this meme has to end before someone gets hurt.

I like dark souls, its one of my favorite games ever but some of these threads are getting autistic to the point where I can't tell if the OP is serious, baiting or just retarded

i see what you're getting at but...
no fuck off

Yes, but did dark souls invent violence as a means to an end?

If that's the case then I might as well kill myself now.

Wow, you're a retard.

not an argument

If you were born in late 2011 yes
