This game feels quite dated

[Gonsnakex]

Coming from Elden Ring the game feels super dated, its a shame that they didnt make a remake instead

[Nightbringer]

Ha! So you DO admit it!

There's nothing to admit. Calling the kettle black is not a news flash to anyone. The game IS old compared to all those that came after it. The point of my post was to point out how well the game stands up even today...despite its age.

And it would be silly otherwise. I'm just amused by all the people in the thread struggling with mildest forms of critique when it comes to their beloved games.

Your perceptions seem a tad 'off' on what it means to struggle with critique, as I've only offered my opinion on the game as I see it rather than as a response to one of your posts...and with very little given to any beloved-ness toward it.

Upon another look at your post that followed mine, you kinda sound like that guy, Lloyd, on Dumb and Dumber who says, "...so there is a CHANCE?!," after being rejected by the indifferent red-headed woman he was interested in. <shrugs>

What a bunch a crybabies some of you are here when you hear something you dont like about your favorite game

"feels"? Is there an objective fact you have that shows what "dated" can be quantified as? I was playing Super Punch-out 20min ago and I enjoyed it, so I would even need an explanation why something that is "factually dated"(if such a thing exists) is automatically bad. I don't see a big difference in PtDE/DSR/DS2 when it comes to graphics, same with BB/DS3/ER. The improvements are not the leaps and bounds we saw in the past. I still play Minecraft, gonna play it now and I won't play ER until it's at least 50% off.

I stopped playing FF games when they became more concerned with cutscene CGIs than gameplay mechanics; graphics are overrated, imo. Gameplay is everything.

Many of those whom responded do not have DSR as their fav game(mine's Valdis Story) and calling anyone a crybaby is definitely harassment...multiple people is more like trolling or inciting a flame war or whatever. Be careful.

It's dated and very slow compared to newer souls/souls-like games, but still great!. You could try out the Re-Remaster on Nexusmods. Doesn't really change mechanics, but better graphics always help.

No matter how many years will pass for me this game and any souls game will always be a fresh experience.

Game came out the same year as Skyrim (the original now dated, no DLC, unmodded, and broken vanilla Skyrim of 2011) so yeah it's gonna be quite dated. Though for the most part it aged quite ok.

They missed the mark on the Remaster. Should've been a remake with the extremely rushed second half of the game fully realised to its intended glory. Now that would be glorious.

I disagree. It's just different approach to the combat and difficulty. I believe ER is much more user-friendy for you and that's why you feel like its so outdated, but Dark Souls is not user-friendy on purpose.

Elden Ring's difficulty based on your reaction speed. Bloodborne was the 1st high paced game and turned out to be a massive succes so they went with it into DS3, Sekiro and ER.

Dark Souls difficulty is based more on your choice of reaction. It's slower, but its more strategic in my opinion. You see what's coming, what's in front of you, but at the same time you have much less i-frames, your attacks usually have longer startup animations, its more costly on stamina, so you cant go with a greatsword, do 10 swings and roll away like you easily can in ER.

What is outdated for me is defenitely the roll mechanic that is limited to few directions. The rest is ok. Of course there could be improvements and they did improve a lot in newer games - even small things such as quicker ladder climb, ability to use items on ladder, backstep attack directions, quicker response to run button and many more. But at its core DS1, DS3 and ER are very similiar.

Would I want DS1 remake? Depends:
If some company other than FromSoftware were to make it: NO. HELL NO. Demons Souls remake went so far away from original visual approach, atmosphere, music that it's much worse than ugly 30fps original for me. They turned it into korean mmo-lookalike and I dont want anything similiar happend to this game
If FromSoftware decided to do it on their own: Maybe? Honestly the only things I'd want for it would be fixed rolling directions and fixed backstabs.

Well said.

ER has so many options that "full open world" makes twinking easier. The slow windup in DS1/2 causes "panic rolling", which was a punishment that got buffed in later soulslikes. Having more roll directions is just another "buff".

No remakes if it means changing those ^ mechanics. Less rolling stuff and slow windup makes it harder, git gud.

lol so toxic, he just means if they would remake this in current gen. Some people are just pathetic that its funny.

That's the thing; I don't.

[Nightbringer]

You attributed general observation about people in this thread to yourself. That is making things personal when they were clearly stated to be the opposite of that.

Admittedly, I did attribute that to a point...still albeit with indifference, because in the expressed amusement in your direct response to me, you implied you were lumping me into that.

I don't take it personal though. That's often the norm on these forums, and that's not lost on me.
