Change #1: Make Demon's Souls 2, not Dark Souls 3

Or am I the only one who enjoyed DeS much more than DaS & DaS2?

Blastoise3675d ago

I can never tell if I prefer Dark Souls or Demon's souls, I do know though that Dark Souls 2 is my least favourite of the three.

ZodTheRipper3675d ago

For me it's the same, DaS2 felt kinda strange.

But I prefer Demon's Souls for many reasons. I loved the Character/World tendency stuff, the separate worlds, the amazing bossfights, the better crafting system, the overall darker tone of the game ...I could go on and on. A Demon's Souls 2 announcement would make my heart stop for a second that's for sure ...another Dark Souls wouldn't excite me at this point.

Darkfire3693674d ago

I loved all of them, but I have to admit, Dark Souls 2 grew on me. I find it better than both DeS and DS because it improves upon a lot of things. I also enjoy the environments, the world, the lore, and the enemies. In the end, it doesn't really matter because I could play all of them and enjoy them all the same.

PurpHerbison3675d ago

I used to say I enjoyed DeS the most but after Dark Souls 2, I have grown a greater appreciation for the first Dark Souls. It's a tie between the two now with Dark Souls 2 coming in last place.

Swiggins3675d ago

Both have things they did well, but what puts Dark Souls over Demons Souls was the vastly improved PVP.

Dark Souls 2 by comparison has lousy PVP. Thankfully I don't think it's unsavable, it's in dire need of rebalancing and tweaking.

Also, Soul Memory is a load of crap, what the hell were you thinking From Software?

Hellsvacancy3674d ago

Soul Memory is by far the worst thing to happen to the Souls games

Blastoise3674d ago

I agree with you both ^

Why add rings that help co-op with friends and then add a stupid soul memory system that makes it completely pointless?

gameslayer24113674d ago

No, I definitly agree with you on that regard, Demon Souls was by far the BEST souls game, took me 72 hours on my first playthrough and that was the most satisfactory feeling ever, finally beating the final bastard. The other Souls game just didn't give me that ultimate challenge that the first one did, but oh well, things will only get better from here.....I hope...

I don't know what this guy is smoking, Clerics are without a doubt some of the most powerful builds in the game.

You can lightning spear just about any boss to death and they get amazing weapons later in the game (Defender's Greatsword anybody?)

LAWSON723674d ago

Yeah I did a lot of coop and them clerics are insane when it comes to dishing out damage.

Dark113675d ago

how about anew IP?..oh who am i kidding they will milk the souls series to death.

xActionBasturdx3674d ago

Althougj i prefer demons souls...dark souls 2 actually feels like demons souls...theybadded im the mechanics i missed atleast like the health penalty for dying and the edible healing items...only difference is that demons souls had the moon grass and dark souls 2 have the life gems...i still prefer the grass lol :)

ziggurcat3674d ago

the only things i want to see:

less focus on PvP. it's the worst part of the game, in my opinion. focus more on co-op if you're going to increase MP functionality.

re-implement the ability to play hollow/spirit form without the risk of being invaded.

Timesplitter143674d ago (Edited 3674d ago )

Hell no. The forced PvP makes this game so much more exciting. Also, without it, it takes forever to find someone to invade.

ziggurcat3674d ago

i'm not exactly saying to decrease the PvP opportunities, just perhaps increase the co-op opportunities.

xActionBasturdx3674d ago

I love the pvp in Dark souls 2. I bounce between being a blue sentinal (the guilty shall be punished >=]) and being a sunbro praise the sun) but invading someone is the best...especially when you get a runner lol

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast3h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7223h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
