and their lack of music
I really, really liked the visuals of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. For me, a major draw of a game is seeing the different environments and other things the artists create. But after Souls 1, I think the ran out of ideas. Souls 3 was a slog for me, and none of the scenery really had enough of a wow-factor compared to the PS3 games for me to care.
LtU is a SNES game where you play as a cowardly idiot who is afraid of everything and can't even walk properly. It is generally considered to be one of the worst games of all time because of its stupid premise. In a game, you usually want to play as a super soldier or a hero who's strong and brave because it's fucking awesome and lets you escape your miserable reality of being bullied at school.
I like CRT filters.
I like BB but it has some of the most god awful aesthetics mixed in with the good. Case in point: the Nightmare Frontier. The bright parts fry your eyeballs, which in turn make it impossible to discern what's what in the dark bits, and then couple that with the atrocious framerate (on the normal PS4 at least). It's enough to make you sick. There are a couple types of chalice dungeons that evoke basically the same response.
All kinds of consoomers I've seen over the years have gushed endlessly about SotC, and when I finally tried it, I didn't know what the hell they were getting so soyfaced over.
One of the things that drives me nuts about Dark Souls 3 is how it introduces tons of new and crazy shit then every plotline fizzles out in favor of more light/dark shit that was already old hat by the end of 1.
Something else that bugs me about 2 and 3 is how most npc questlines devolved into them just showing up and doing fuckall at the hub areas.
I don't think they have shit controls at all. What drew me to Souls in the first place was how precise I felt it handled. Obviously that went out the window with 2 as most of my issues with that game a revolve around how imprecise it handles.
Oh, I just LOVE games that tell their whole story through collectibles. If I wanted to read for a story, I'd pick up a book. Collectibles like that are supposed to supplement the plot/story, not BE the story. Halo takes that literally.
Halo does what now?
Halo tells all of its story through books, novels, TV shows. Take a look at Halo 5. To even have an understanding of its events, you'd need to read several novels BEFOREHAND. Even so, it's a mess.
And if I wanted to watch a story, I'd pick up a movie.
That's not true except for specifically Halo 5. All the Bungie-era games were self-contained.
It is way more convenient to open the info tab on a sword in game and get some lore/story than it is to go out of your way to look up something else.
Oh you mean like everyone in DS1 except for onion bro and Solaire? They all just stand around fingering their assholes until you hit the end of their questlines then they fuck off to where they die.
What people don't seem to understand is that it's an option you can flip on or off at will, not a religion you convert to.
Yes, they die. That's the point. None of the merchants in DS3 die besides Greirat and whatever the sorcery guy was called and both of those deaths are invalidated by the old firekeeper that you can feed ashes. Basically every DS1 npc had a death condition at the very least.
Does Benhart even actually show up to Majula or is the closest he gets the spot you find him at the beginning of the Shaded Woods? His questline was fucking dumb anyway.
Demon's did it best where Yurt could fuck your hub up, and if Yurt didn't, the player did because Mephistopheles questline. Bloodborne was lighter on quests but again, almost everyone had some death condition.
