game is for 70 year old men.

The controls are so clunky I think only people who are geriatric can enjoy this antique of a game. The second half sucks, the graphics sucks, the game-play sucks the bosses fall off the map. How can you go from fighting maliketh and PCR and Malenia to fighting bosses that the only thing preventing you from beating them is the clunky controls and horrible glitchy graphics. Maybe if I was 50 years old and play this when It came out it might be fun, but to anyone else this is slop.

I’m sorry, but DS1 is better than Elden Ring. It’s simple; you were spoiled by new games so you don’t have respect for this masterpiece. Games were different, but not like this 50 years ago. This game is only fourteen years old lol. Why are you acting like this was found in a pharaohs tomb?

[Mytrnz]

This is not ur game move on to something better. Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders.

Good bye
It's been nice ish

I hear a Mario game got a refresh, or Candy Crush is nice

The game is clunky, yes, and compared to modern takes like Elden Ring, it is a fair bit jank. But there are two things about this:

1. The game is consistently jank. The rules never change at a moment's notice. Even if an enemy's weapon doesn't seem as big as their hitbox, their hitbox never changes. Your I-frames when dodging never change as long as you're in the same weight class. Parry timings don't get picked at random. It takes some time to adjust to the tools you have, but they can be worked with. Quite easily, in fact.

2: DS1 is a classic not because of the "hard gameplay" or anything like that. DS1 is where FromSoftware proved they could build an excellent atmosphere in the world. Even in subsequent offerings, even Elden Ring, the atmosphere is different and sometimes, to some people, lacking. There truly is no world quite like Lordran.

On a side note, one of my favorite little details about good Soulslikes is the general rule that your Skybox doubles as a map. If you can see a structure off in the distance, you can go there. From Firelink alone you can see the Valley of the Drakes, Undead burg, and if you strain your neck, you can see the Undead Parish and Church. This is amazing and I wish more games held this level of environmental consistency.

you cant call this game trash cause your like 15 and are spoiled with elden ring garbage and dont understand the value of a literal masterpiece and to some a undying love of dark souls

[faithful historian]

im 15 but i love this game ive played elden ring first but i think i might like this one more and the graphics are not the greatest graphics in the world but it still looks good and two graphics are not that inportant. also gameplay may be slower but the level design is better than elden ring. you can dislike the game and i can respect that but just trying to insult everyone who does i cant respect

[Squareband67]

I like this gam and that make it good.

[Mr. World]

It’s a gud gaem but I see where you are coming from. The game’s shortcomings couldn’t be explained away simply by its age. There are so many well made games in that era. They probably had time and budget issues; some development hell. Bland environment design and enemy placement takes me back 98s fake shooter world. But it’s a game which made the series mainstream and they were still figuring out the system they brought to this day. Not to mention they delivered something normally expected from adventure games in a world of no adventure world design. So it think it should deserve respect. Not to ♥♥♥♥ on because it’s not shonen action on crack.

And yet you think games with 0 content like Sons of the Forest and Starfield are good.

ok.

[grumpstar]

st up before i give you something to cry about edition and go play more dark souls sonny

[Squintopotamous]

Silence yung Simpleton! This game is GOAT. And it runs smoothly unlike your Stutter Ring which is a Coke Zero Soy Plus version with a refarted llama-horse who cannot control himself on the edge of a cliff while carrying you to a castle so you can hug a depressant woman who never gets out of bed.

Excellent, well said. Plus for being truthful and extremely rare in sea of nostalgic delusional fans, I have posted my own thread as well. I gave you the award, Take my points.

Game is clunky indeed fossil of game. Its too sluggish. Difference is not just staggering but cosmic from ER to DS1 you are back 50 years terrible graphics, controls, bosses enemies and AI.

People are naive they run on Nostalgia, you have shattered their illusion and they are powerless and weak acting in predictable weak way.

I didn’t play DS1 until 2023 so no nostalgia biased from me

70 year old people still play this game, that means it's far more popular than you
