Dude, this series has such grounded, realistic combat
Meanwhile you spend half the time rolling around on the ground magically phasing through enemy attacks
Do Fromfags really?
Dude, this series has such grounded, realistic combat
You're supposed to carry a shield and block 90% of the time. The developers of DeS and DS didn't anticipate players playing the gzmes for hundreds of hours and studying the patterns to the point they roll dodge all game long
The roll slop starts with Dark Souls III and partially DS II (Fume Knight)

It's a shame they decided to pander to those faggots in the end.
Dark Souls is the Kung Pow of gaming.
Have you ever heard of poise?
No game can have realistic close combat. Those who tried are awful.
melee combat always needs to be abstracted in some form to make good gameplay because it's just too copmplex to effectively simulate with conventional control schemes.
The only exception would be VR where you actually control the game with your body so realistic close combat is possible.
So having unrealistic combat with running and dashing around and simplified hitboxes over a simulation of impact force and wounds caused by the weapon is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Also massive great hammers are lots of fun but they just wouldn't work in a realistic combat system without uber strength.
Nobody ever said it's realistic.
Oh wow another tranny seethe thread amazing
Did DaS1 have counters? I was surprised that demon souls had that when i was emulating it
truth nuke
Dark Souls is the best you can get when it comes to grounded combat in video game form.
It's not exactly grounded at all but it's fun and that's all that matters.
Shooters can get away with a bit more realism, especially if you add stuff like hand shake and recoil that reduce with better stats and the bullet slightly falling downward at long distances so you need to consider this too and maybe wind slightly affecting the bullet when aiming, but shooting a gun in a game is still miles away from shooting a gun irl where you actually feel the recoil in your bones.
it's fun
i'm supposed to believe the series with not one good webm is "FUN" lol
theres not a single good we-
*blocks your path*
Le meme webms
Actually playing the game is fun and that's what matters.
it's not
actual grounded, realistic combat
end game DLC boss dies in 12 hits
So this is the super hard game I've been hearing about.
end game DLC boss dies in 12 hits
people still can't beat it easily
That should tell you good how the average gamer is at actually playing games
Wasn't this a meme game?
grounded, realistic combat
false. stop making shit up. nobody told you this, and if they did, they were retarded.
What's a fun game with realistic combat then?
we didn't know how good we had it
have to do ten million different tricks and beat malenia just to tank properly without being melted in one combo
meanwhile DS1 is just level the appropriate stat and find good armor
god lotf 2014 is so bad
Dude, this series has such grounded, realistic combat
Who are you quoting?
Grounded, Realism
Souls
Sure buddy. Just ignore the magic, dragons, 5+ foot long swords and weapons, giants, and literal gods then maybe it has some realism. OP is a fucking moron
Yes and these retards are buying the same game for 100th time, they have absolutely no shame.
Wow this series has really good level design, world design, exploration, and mob encounters. It doesn't hold your hand between levels either.
WOOOWEEE COMBAT COMBAT ROLL ROLL R1 R1 BOSSFIGHT BOSSFIGHT. WHERE NEXT BOSS AND CHECKPOINT? GIVE ME STRAIGHT LINE BOSSRUSH PLOX.
I hate Soulsfags for killing this franchise.
If you mean parries, yes.
The final boss is well known to be hard unless you have parry timing down, in which case he's easy.
it's so baaad
looks better than any dark souls webm ever has and has actual grounded, realistic combat souls fags say their game has
so fucking true
fromsoft knew their AI sucked in DS1. thats why they used the level geometry to make more dynamic combat
this floaty slow shit isn't good. you probably never played it but I did and it was a pain to go through
that boss is really easy actually
DS1 is hard in the sense that it's a really slow and punishing game that requires tight timing and precise movement while having clunky controls, vague hitboxes and sloppy physics
it's kathargic and soulful in the same way that cat mario is but it's a game that really engraved itself in my head
never played any other souls game btw i've heard that it's pretty much
because ds1 is so faaast! And isn't floaty...
yeah, bosses were just another part of the game but in Elden Ring they're overtuned comparatively to older games, hell i'd say even dark souls 3 was pretty lame in that regard too, even if it wasn't as bad
honestly except for a few bosses, fighting them is the lowest point of Elden Ring for me, why the fuck would I want to spend time memorizing pointless delays designed specifically to trick players into rolling early, with random acceleration/decelleration, just fucking spam ash of war/charge attacks while the boss attacks you and ignore everything else. You died? oh well just try again until the boss inevitably SHITS HIMSELF and drools like a retard while you wail on him
He takes more hits with elemental weapons cause they buffed their resistances in the DLC to troll base game players raping bosses with theitr magic and lightning swords.
idk probably something like mordhau I guess but I've never played it.
It's not exactly grounded at all
It was way more grounded than 90% of action adventure games that came before it which usually had a jump, jump attacks and much spammier combat with attacks that dash you forward and autolock you onto the nearest enemy, cuhrazy ninja gaiden/dmc/bayonetta combos, etc. The only games I can remember with combat that didn't let you shit on the mobs by just mashing the attack button or pulling off insane combos is maybe monster hunter.
When people bring up DS1 combat they always compare it to what we have now, not what we had before it released as if that doesn't contribute to its initial success in the first place.
unfortunately they stopped making regular action games in favor of making stamina-bar roll-sloppa because every game needs a parry and every game needs a dodge
Onimusha didn't have any of that
I only finished DS2 and Elden Ring.
Probably because they are the most similar.
I've been hearing about.
So you haven't played it? Why do you and your discord friends seethe about it 24/7 then?
When will from make new character animations? Every single game looks the same with the character sliding around the floor and the same base animations since fucking demons souls and dark souls. DS2 is the only game with new animations but it still looks like shit
There was that and blade of darkness, not much else. Onimusha wasn't really that hard anyway, the only ones I didn't blaze through was genma on hard and dawn of dreams on oni mode. 3 on devilish would be up there but devilish issen makes it easy as fuck.
combat that didn't let you shit on the mobs by just mashing the attack button
Are you implying you can't do that in Dark Souls? 90% of the mobs in these games either have no poise so you can walk up to them and mash R1 until they die or if they do have some poise their attacks are so slow you can make yourself a sandwich before you have to react.
People were shittier at video games than they were 14 years ago, if mashing buttons could carry people through dark souls in 1vx situations when it released then it would have never gotten a reputation as a hard game.
