To each his own, but in no way shape or form are any of those games shitty. Even out of the gate, Skyrim gave me much much more entertainment than this game on PC, and with mods it's not even close. Unless you got a gamepad, a tool for consoles, this game is complete shit on the PC. Ever tried playing it with a mouse? It's as painful as walking on acid. The keyboard controls are all over the place and make absolutely no sense at all. And then, if that wasn't enough the framerate was capped at 30 and the resolution at 720p in 2012, both things fixed in a matter of hours by a talented individual, while the developers claimed it to be impossible due to engine limitations. On consoles tihs game may well be one of the greatest RPGs ever, but on PC without modifying it (you were laughing about Skyrim and how it needs mods) and buying a gamepad it's not worth 5 bucks, while it costs 40. Pretty much echoes my thoughts. If Dark Souls needs mod + a control to even work decently on a PC than its clearly doing something wrong. My only argument about Skyrim and Oblivion wasn't that they were great games, but rather that if you go trough a few hours of trouble installing mods they can become good games, at least moding those is free... a controller costs money. And than i have to really wonder: - This game has minimalistic story - This game costs you another 20$ to play since you need a controller - Even with the controller it handles worse than skyrim or Oblivion - Its combat is basically the same as Skyrim or Oblivion The only thing its got going for it is the self assumed balance and difficulty resulting in that happiness for progression and loot lust rather than wonder lust... which i agree, many games don't have nowadays BUT the 2 game in which it can be moded are Skyrim and Oblivion, so how is this game superior to those after you mod in the difficulty ? | ||

I can tell you've never even played this game. Or haven't played for more than an hour. - The story is supposed to be minimalistic. I don't want every fucking npc to tell me his or her life story. The game is about me. You're not really supposed to know what's going on. You have to read descriptions of things to figure out the story. - You don't need to buy a controller. Mouse and keyboard work fine. I'm on newgame + already with it. -It handles worse than skyrim or oblivion? Or maybe the combat and control are just too hard for you? The combat in skyrim and oblivion are unfeeling and trash. Every movement and attack in this game has feeling behind it. It takes time. Not .2 seconds while slashing a greatsword. - Once again, you haven't played the game. The combat is nothing like skyrim or oblivion where you can just hammer down your magic and or melee button and stomp everything in the game. Please go do that and this so I can laugh my ass off at you dying to every mob. | ||

Comparing the Souls series to The elder scrolls is like comparing counter strike to call of duty. You're treating a steak like it's a mcdonald's hamburger, don't do that. One last one, Demon's/Dark's Souls are a fine wine, Skyrim/Oblivion are Coors Light. Nothing wrong with that, everyone likes some fast food and beer on occassion, but Souls has some true depth and class. | ||

Dark Souls and Oblivion/Skyrim control perfectly fine... I don't know what you're talking about. - Its combat is basically the same as Skyrim or Oblivion Now I'm convinced you haven't played the game much. Or at all. Oblivion and Skyrim have no weight in their combat- every weapon swings the same way, with the same speed, has the same cooldown, has the same broken hitboxes (seriously, I often get hit by an enemy's swing when I'm like three feet away from them), and there's no hit stun. Combat literally boils down to mashing attack as quickly as possible without regard to evasive or tactical maneuvers. The only thing its got going for it is the self assumed balance and difficulty resulting in that happiness for progression and loot lust rather than wonder lust... which i agree, many games don't have nowadays BUT the 2 game in which it can be moded are Skyrim and Oblivion, so how is this game superior to those after you mod in the difficulty ? Wonder lust? See Ash Lake, and tell me you aren't in awe. Go through the Tomb of the Giants, and tell me you aren't spooked. Land in Anor Londo, and tell me there is anything in un-modded Oblivion or Skyrim that even remotely comes close to the view you get. You've clearly only touched Dark Souls for less than five minutes (or not at all) without even legitimately giving it a shot, so quit your baseless bashing. | ||

And if you cant be bothered doing that then watch epicnamebro's lore series on youtube. i won't comment about your other points as it would just repeat what others have already said. | ||
