A painted world bound to burn away to make room for a new world

a painted world bound to burn away to make room for a new world

sister Friede is too attached to it

uses blood sacrifice to keep the painting from burning

as a result the painting is in a state of rot

its inhabitants beg the player to burn it down

"BOOOOOO FROMSOFT CANT MAKE A DECENT STORY"

expedition 33 blatanly rips off of it

"HOLY KINO THIS IS THE DEEPEST STORY IVE EVER PLAYED THROUGH"

Zanziclea...forgive me...

you didn't play the game, it's very different

maybe they should've made the game about watching the story they put so much time into building instead of focusing on gameplay

So Bloodborne is a ripoff zombie game?

Maybe it's more interesting this way and it's exactly what I want, stupid normalfag.
Go play your goyslop for cattle instead of trying to tell me what is good.

made the game about watching the story

TLOU was a mistake

The premise of a story doesn't matter.
All that matters is how it is presented and told.

So in a great way?
Also that's not the "premise", that's literally the story.

As a ER PvP pro, I find it hilarious that some people care about story in souls games.

Try telling telling someone that story exactly like how it is in the OP and see if anyone is satisfied with it.
It's not a story. It's a list of bullet-points.

I'd say there are fewer people who watched EVA, and understood its story
Than there are people who have played Dark Souls and understood its story for its set pieces

Is there anything more pathetic than people who play souls games for the pvp? I think not.

Don't laugh at them anon, they take it very seriously

Too scared to reply to me directly?
pvp is the true test of skill and you're exactly the kind of pve loser i make videos of.

Nigger, that's not the game, that's a short rendition of the story a random person has done. Learn to think because your post is embarrassing.

Why don't you play a real pvp game instead of a game where it's an afterthought? Too scared you won't have enough skill to compete?
Pathetic.

ER and souls games have pvp built in as a core mechanic.
You're in denial because you're a weak loser like this guy youtu.be/ilVnk0OvR48?si=oxOHjN9saljES74e

Play only dark souls

Decide to play another game

"Idk, it's giving me dark souls vibes."

as a result the painting is in a state of rot

its inhabitants beg the player to burn it down

But the inhabitants of the painted world in E33 don't want to die. They don't need to die if Renoir doesn't pull the trigger.

Dark Souls hasn't influenced other games

kek

How is it a core mechanic if you can play offline, retard? It's completely optional.
Damn you're not very intelligent, now I feel bad for you.

You're just running away on purpose.
You can play counter strike offline toi but it doesnt make it any less of a "pvp game"

It's confirmed inspired by FFX's story btw, which released a decade before that

It's hilarious that Expedition 33 is literally Dark Souls 3 but with jrpg waifus... From the west

so you prefer to have the premise be told with a shit ton of gay as fuck woman dialogue thrown in the mix?

Also it's just a part of Gael's wider arc to provide pigments to the painting lady to create a new world which would break the firelinking curse. Sending the Ashen One to the painting sets of the chain of events which gives her the fire pigment she needs, next Gael needs to collect the blood of the Dark Soul for her. Unfortunately he loses his mind in the process, so the Ashen One has to slay him and give the Dark Soul to the painting lady in his name. The ds3 DLCs are a criminally underrated story.

You can't play pvp offline in Souls games, genius. What is the point of mentioning lan in CS lol?

look at ops screenshot alone. that shit is pure wanna be elden ring.

Yes. Absolute tragedy kino.
The scene with Ariandel still gives me chills.

All of it is part of an even wider arc, with the Ashen One being the prophesized Dark Lord of Hollows, which is why in both Ariandel and Ariamis versions the painting has the statues of the future Dark Lord ped by Velka that are also present in New Londo

You're just grasping at straws now.
I accept your concession, loser.
I think I'll make a video out of thia convo so people can laugh at you even after you delete your posts in embarrassment

People assume it's based on this or that, but an interview confirmed the lead writer is Chinese and had never played games before. Its main inspiration is literature.

for the sake of the next world

For those who come after...

But for the game director, he grew up with Final Fantasy games, you know. When I came on the project, he gave me two games to catch up: Final Fantasy X and Persona 5. I loved both of them. Definitely, I think Final Fantasy X is a masterpiece and a big inspiration for us, specifically on the party, pacing, narrative, and stuff like that

Don't have to assume when they spell it out for you

Look out, it's the BBC
(BIG BOWL CHAD)

ffx story is so much better in every aspect. how the japs manage to make a game this emotional and lighthearted while melancholic and dramatic at the same time, without any insufferable woman dialogue like e33?
amazing.

Come say that to my face in Limgrave

Yes but neither of those are the lead writer, who isn't a gamer and rewrote the entire story from scratch. The story would have been another Sea of Stars tier shitfest otherwise

muh rot

muh fire

muh sun

muh moon

muh decay

muh blood

Are we really going to pretend the director, who was the guy that started this whole project solo from scratch, wasn't telling the lead writer what kind of scenario he wanted for his game?

i play to fuck with people

Same

But you're the one seething uncontrollably when they opt to prevent you from invading them. You see it as an affront to the game experience that you don't have access to other people's game.

Sad.
I play to play the game.

you're seething

i don't

Is there anything more pathetic than people who play souls games for the pvp?

People who avoid the pvp experience.

But people love Friede and the DLC's story. What kind of dumb misrepresentation is this?
That said. The game clearly does not focus that much on the story comparably, so neither does the fans, comparably. But that doesn't mean it's bad. It's not. It's good and appreciated.

shame the other boss in the dlc is garbage
