Why the fukk are the Dark Souls games so addicting?

[the cool]

Idk what it is. Its world, environment, challenge, it keeps me coming back after I beat them. I beat all of them except Demon Souls cause the final boss is a bytch with taking your soul levels away.DS1 and DS3 I beat probably 4 times each and Bloodborne I beat like 9 times. It's the only game I platinumed

I hate farming blood vials after I die from trying to beat a boss

I wouldn't even use blood vials until I was super confident in winning the fight you could also just buy them instead of upgrading every once in a while for a surplus

Dark Souls 2 was my first one, Never felt the criticisms it got compared to the first one because I obviously had no point of reference, Loved every bit of it, Same as DS3, BB & Sekiro

Iirc you gotta hit and run, dwindle them down one by one. Staying in the mix just didn't work for me, especially when they can throw hands literally halfway across the area

Edit: this shyt was weak af. Parry gang

Games are just so immersive. The SoulsBourne: Shadows dies twice series are just too high quality in the aesthetics. Great lore, great ambiance, great gameplay formula. It's hard to explain the satisfaction. FromSoft is amongst the goats for me how the industry jocked their steeze.​

Yea I officially stopped playing ds3 im only on bb and sekiro right now, not cuz it was frustrating or anything but the world building and story for me is a big part of the rpg experience and its just kinda blah in dark souls. Im an aggressive player too and sekiro/bb rewards you for that, dark souls is a little too methodical and rock-paper-scissors for my taste. Also these garbage ass regular degular weapons and weapon arts are not any fun compared to hunter weapons or sekiros prosthetics and parrying. Hope elden ring isnt a miss

That was a tough boss too. I had to summon someone to help.

"Bloodborne" is my favorite game in this vein because I'm a big fan of Lovecraft. And they heavily borrowed from him later in the game, and DLC.

Unofficial Bloodborne patch lets the game run at 60fps on base PS4, but it's not perfect

Just port the shyt to PC already game deserves 60 frames at least

I can't wrap my head around it.

This quarantine got me playing Dark Souls 2/3 all over again and it's as addicting as I remember it. I beat the games when they were released and mainly played with strength builds. But now i'm playing it differently using more of a sorcerer and playing with different builds and I just don't remember it being this fun.

In its core gameplay, it's just mash r1, r1, r1 and dodge or put up shields and there is little to no story besides reading each individual item description, but god dammit is it fun.

I got a huge backlog of games that I need to play but yet Dark souls still calls for me. I might even go back to playing DS1 remastered.

played 3 for a bit too shook to go back
