He is right you know

...

>Bloodborne is a game only retarded niggers could enjoy
Whoa is Matthew so desperate he's catering to alt-right now?

Glad you also picked up on that..

NGH DADDY

yes and developers thought so too when they announced dark souls franchise going to take pause for few years until they figure out how to refresh gameplay

He went full contrarian hipster because he has to do something to garner attention since he's fallen off everyone's radar because his last few vids have been garb and so far between. Ofc that means Sup Forums will love him, because you're all contrarian faggots that strive for validation but not TOO much validation or else it won't be cool anymore.

Matthewmatosis' videos are so laughably shallow I still find that the best way to detect brainlets in this board is reading who is regurgitating his opinions verbatim, Matt your videos suck and you have literally no insight at all, this would be tolerable if they lasted for less than 15 minutes but you love to hear yourself talk don't you?

I'm a huge souls stan but as he kept going I realized he was right.

My first time playing Demon's Souls was filled with unexpected surprises, NPC betrayals, mechanics I struggled to understand, and a sense of otherworldliness. Same with Dark Souls.

Every game in the series since has lost that unique feeling of being alien and strange. It has become familiar and rote, losing one of the qualities that made the series so appealing to begin with.

I hope the next game takes some real risks with the mechanics and plays with our expectations more.

who?

I hope so, I really like the souls series but the games have gotten stale, predictable, and more streamlined over the years. I miss when these games could be obtuse, weird, and surprising.

There's parts I disagree with him on but I can understand how he came to those conclusions

He is.

Although, he's retarded for thinking BB's combat is simpler because it "doesn't have shields".

dumb nostalgiafag

>mfw people actually like joseph anderson's videos
He's wrong about almost every fucking thing. I have no idea why so many people shill him

>2 and a half hour video on why fallout 4 was good

They just need to eschew traditional design conventions again, completely throwing out the book on what is accepted as common design knowledge

As the souls games have become their own niche, the genre conventions of the games have only been more firmly rooted in place. A huge part of the appeal of Des and Das were how different and unique they were from other games.

Now that the trilogy is complete, maybe It's time for another souls game to radically break up the formula in some new ways we don't know about until we play it.

The best way to detect brainlets on this board is to read the board. Noone here has any interesting insight on anything.

Case in point, what's your opinion on the Souls series?

I wonder if he's played Proto-Souls i.e. King's Field, Evergrace, Shadow Tower, and Forever Kingdom?

>Bloodborne lacks depth because it has no shields

Uhhh wrong e-celeb buster

Yeah, Anderson has some butt opinions but hearing long-form criticism of games with supporting examples and explanations for those opinions is always a treat even if I disagree.

The person with the true worst opinions is Novacanoo

Ecelebs who love to drone on for 45 minutes can't tell the difference between being insightful and having their head up their arse.

Souls series has two kind of games
The "hey this is pretty good" tier aka DeS, DaS1 and Bloodborne
and the "no thanks, I'm good" tier aka DaS2 and DaS3

Even asking that question is brain dead as fuck. Try harder.

>the older it is, the better it is

literally the 'wrong generation' entry level pleb opinion

It is true that bloodborne has fewer options in combat than any other game in the series, even though it's my favorite

The blood/health recovery mechanic is cool but it doesn't change how much the combat relies on simple pattern recognition and punishing for almost every fight

I don't think you watched the video.

>that means Sup Forums will love him, because you're all contrarian faggots that strive for validation but not TOO much validation or else it won't be cool anymore.

Truer words haven't been spoken.

who?

Somebody repost the mittosis webms.

That was cute as fuck.

He isn't being contrarian, he still thinks Dark Souls was the best game in the series and that's not exactly a bold statement. It's also a series that got three games three years in a row, and bought more and more into being about the combat when that's not what everyone loved about the games. When the bosses get closer and closer to derivatives of Gascoigne, what can be done to freshen things up? He acknowledges that the game's are a lot more polished, he just wants some more experimentation and less attempts to try and make what's ultimately a simplistic game seem really hard. The games are at their strongest when the difficulty compliments the harshness of the atmosphere, it's why a boss like Nameless King doesn't actually resonate with me at all after beating him. The combat is ultimately simplistic.

"You all just be hipsters to agree with this opinion! I'm special and unique in my disagreement!!"

Like you said, easy to detect. You're literally afraid of anonymously offering your opinion of a video game.

autist who makes hour long argument about videogames

Because he isn't smart enough to condense it to 10 minutes like everyone else

>I miss when these games could be obtuse, weird, and surprising.

I think you used some words you don't know the meaning of. When exactly did you feel like a Souls game was insensitive or hard to understand? When was it weird? Did the skeletons reviving surprise you?

But I'm not him you fucking idiot, go be a snarky asshole at reddit or wherever you come from.

jesus christ

He's right you know, Souls game are not obtuse in the very least.
