Ranking the Soulsborne-Sekiro Games

[Formerly Seth]

I’m not too deep into the games or lore, however I was always fascinated by the many boss ranking videos and game series ranking videos

I think I would like to look at a very in depth video on why Souls 2 is deemed as so bad

Also welcome back seth

Aye.

Hot take time.

I actually think Sekiro is the weakest game story wise, it’s my opinion that for story you either have to commit to full on obscurity/lore or do a straightforward narrative.

Whenever you try to do a hybrid approach it doesn’t work, and a lot of straightforward plot points come across ass pulls.

Like the second mortal blade, if you didn’t do Isshin’s side quest and read the associated items, Genichiro literally just pulls a second mortal blade out of nowhere to resurrect Isshin.

The Elden Ring DLC had a similar issue where the context for the Consort Radahn reveal as behind side/optional content.

I personally don’t really think stuff like this works.

Sekiro's "storytelling" suffers from the main character basically being a mute. I feel like if they'd invest in some fancy Japanese mofo like that dude from Shogun tv-show who plays in every possible Japanese movie, they'd struck a bit better with the fans.

Sekiro's storytelling works because it's subtle and not invasive, I feel like a lot of Soulslike meatriders would lose brain cells if they had to read/listen a bit more during cutscense and else.

But on the other hand I can understand why people would not rate it high. Personally, the game works for me, in every aspect.

Oh, and I will never forget that fucking bull.

I fully agree

What’s the most difficult game for you guys?

Elden ring without cheesing ( i dont say anyone who does cheeses the game is doing anything wrong just in general ) is literally a head ache
Never ending combos and literally barely any openings between boss movements
Elite mobs are like bosses in previous games

Damn no one likes Dark Souls 2

DS2 is my favorite game to run on most days I'd say, @EmperorKinyagi keeps bickering with me about it
DS1 is a beauty of a game, but mechanically it's hot garbage
DS3 is amazing and has the best fighting mechanics, but as a player you don't have many options routing your playthrough. With DS2 you can do whatever the fuck you want and access whatever area you want early in the game

I had the unfortunate pleasure to play DS2 all the way back during its debut, when it was at its worst, like all the bugs and messy gameplay aside, I've seen the worst of it. So the lasting brain damage is there, I was questioning if it was me or the game that is fucked up.

Yo welcome back my man
DS2 on release was wack, co-op was godly then with all the cheating and noob hunting

Bloodborne for sure

I just finished the story of Dark Souls 1.
The story of Artorias and Sif was really touching and sad.
It is unlikely that Miyazaki will make anything better than Dark Souls 1 in terms of storytelling and communication. At least for me

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Glad to see DS1 lore getting glaze

 

[mmd]

I also started Dark Souls 3 but stopped playing for now due to work and university
I'm hyped to see Nameless King

Endgame/Shadow of the Erdtree Elden Ring. Though there's so many builds and way you can approach things though, but some of the bosses and even regular movies are ridiculous. Some of the lion dudes literally have an endgame DS3 boss's moveset.

In terms of story, I would rate the games:

DS1>ER>DS2>Bloodborne>>Sekiro/DS3>Demon Souls.

DS2 has pretty cool lore, it's a nice story.

Most definitely Bloodborne. At the time it was so radically different and fast paced compared DS1 and 2. Never used a shield again after playing that game lol.

DS2 was by far the easiest. Laughably so given how much it tried to be difficult.

DS2 DLC is a level above anything DS3 & DS1 had to offer, on first playthrough brume tower and ice kingdom were mind numbingly difficult lol

 

[Embers Kaios]

Bloodborne for sure

Honestly I was expecting for you both to say Sekiro. I heard that one wrong move and you can pretty much get clapped

Finally! It’s refreshing to see DS2 get more props! But damn “The game tries to be difficult” is crazy 💀💀💀

Based off of the stuff i seen, clearly top 1.

Sekiro level bosses with Ds1 story.

Fromsoft cooked hard.

 

[zenox]

I’ve defeated literally every boss in all of them. All of the main game bosses, all of the dlc bosses, the Shura ending bosses in Sekiro, and even the bull shit co-op bosses in Dark Souls 2. I have over 100 hours in every game except Demon’s Souls, and I have 160 hours in Dark Souls 3.

Have u ever defeated the grass tho

It seems like the beta version of the game has been activated for some people
My friend tried to log in but couldn't
But it seems like a two-player mode has been created alongside the three-player mode

i think that's just a random third person. Like you and a friend. you don't have a third player. So you choose 2 player mode and gets a third random.

Yes
I think the third person will probably be a bot
For me offline games have always been more interesting
