A man of culture.
So we have an honest to god skitso case? Neat. Is this worthy of going into the lolcow cases board or is it too barebones?
Agreed.
The more they reveal,the more holes the narrative has. These games just work better as kind of aloof narratives where the player is detached from it all and is just taking shit as it comes.
Give me a fast paced Sekiro style action game focused on Vampire Hunting supernatural folklore horror with the armor aesthetics of (unused) less clothed Chester from DS1.
I'm dog tired of Lovecraft trite from them and gaming in general lmao there are way more interesting horror writers and inspirations to draw from, Bloodborne is already one of the best Lovecraft games and the shit crept into DSIII and ER I'm good. It's way overused (just like the demon's souls gameplay formula!).
If they make another action game I'd love for them to lean on the gore and horror, and some true steampunk maybe. Another reason I want a vampire game is because Bloodborne's internal dev code had a weapon idea that the devs outright noted as being the Monofilament Wires that Walter from Hellsing used. (Sourced from Lance McFaggot the bb hackerman) 
I'd like to see a more Hellsing inspired action horror game from them, gives them another chance to expand on their horror aspects. Or like I said previously, I'd love for Miyazaki to finally make that Vision Of Escaflowne inspired game.
So far too barebones, and I'm not sure I see it changing. We'll see.
Yeah bro exactly. It consumes almost no fp meter as well. I stance broke Melania over and over again. It was glorious. This knight playthrough has been full circle from my first playthrough of Dark Souls 1, where I got lucky and had the Dark Knight Sword drop early on.
Giant Hunt is pretty fun as well, especially since it ragdolls Malenia.
I just finished DS3 and I still think that game's DLCs are easily the worst From has ever done. Shadow of the Erdtree at least has redeeming qualities while AoA and Ringed City are incoherent messes that are essentially just every cut asset and fanservice idea they still had left from the base game.
Yeah, I think some of the incredulity from the community is that this is probably the first time Souls fans have been this pissed off by the actual story not being good. Normally From can hide behind the story breadcrumbs route but when you drastically change a character's motivations and personality just to justify a terrible boss fight (with no choice to join the "villain" btw) that will understandably make people mad. Forcing us to kill of Leda is pretty shitty too because she's neat. You can't "git gud" your way out of narrative critique.
I agree, it's more clear in japanese, but Merika's mentions of duty and curse are synonyms. The duty she gives is a form of curse, turning the metaphorical chains of duty and societal obligation into literal ones, as is common in fantasy works.
There is actually a form of ritual blinding in Erdtree society since the blind can detect the Red Star and it's Red Glintstone better, and research/worship of the thing is ingrained into the justice system. It's why the prisoner masks and albinuric torture masks impede sight. So blindless doesn't always equal the Frenzied Flame, it just makes you more susceptible to outside influence.
Your eyes turn yellow IIRC.
Weapon went from zero to hero real quick. Definitely super viable now.
He has a youtube channel, there isn't much on it but he does have a Dark Souls video where he explores his so-called theory. I'm making quite a few edits of this post as I go along, because the more I check his tabs, the more I'm finding. He has an entire PLAYLIST of unlisted videos also going into this theory, which I have archived in case he DFEs.
I recommend Nioh 1 if you're looking for more depth in combat, from will NEVER give us proper stance switching and its bad that a star wars souls game has already done that...
People forget that Demon's and Dark Souls story was pretty straightforward and could understand it while you were playing. It was only further contextualization and details, particularly in relation to certain bosses, that you needed to read item descriptions for. It was with DS2 and DS3 that they leaned heavily in a more convoluted story told primarily through item descriptions.
