Dark souls is the most overrated game franchise there fucking is. Seriously...

I have over 1,100 hours in DS1
Everything is so tryhard now
in the last 6 months every death I've ever had was a lag backstab I just wish they would remove it from pvp because it's a game breaking mechanic with lag. What's the point of learning weapon movesets and becoming familiar with attributes of armor if the meta is to just tap you internet and backstab for 900 damage?
This shit happens at least 80% of the time and it slowly killed my enjoyment of the game. Uninstalled a few days ago because I can't even enjoy wasting my time anymore.

It's an aesthetically and mechanically inferior game to many others. I'd rather play casual trash like Dying light or Last of Us than DS tbh.

Not to mention the combos are bland and uncreative, and the character movement animations look stiff which breaks my immersion.

Style is way more important than graphics, by the way. Mother 3 is an example.

The gameplay is all that matters, and the gameplay was shit.

Also OP guys like

have shit taste and make excuses for shit taste. Holla Forums is even worse than Holla Forums when it comes to vidya. You're better off going to /svidya/ or /games/ or private forums to discuss it.

Pretty sure it's impossible for anywhere on the internet to be worse than Holla Forums when it comes to video games. Even reddit is better than Holla Forums, and reddit is cancer.

git gud
Casul

okay, health, I can understand that. God Hand didn't have much health either. But shit controls? That's just inexcusable!

stop

But, you know what it DID have? A reliable way to dodge enemy attacks. Oh, and while I'm at it, the stamina bar was bullshit too.
