Why Darksouls Is The Best Darksouls Game.

Darksouls

Darksouls is the first game in the Darksouls series with consists of Darksouls, Darksouls II, and Darksouls 3. Although technically there is Demonsouls, which came before Darksouls, and Bloodborne which came before Darksouls 3 we're only going to be talking about the Darksouls games, and not all the Soulsborne titles.

Level Design

While darksouls might not have the best combat, compared to newer games like Darksouls 3, which definitely has the better and more fine tuned combat. The way the world in Darksouls is built is worlds better than Darksouls 3 or even Darksouls 2. In  Darksouls3 and for the most part Darksouls 2, you have a general direction to go and you go there. For example in Darksouls 3 you have no choice about where you want to go. You go to the High Wall of Lothric, from here you kill the boss Vordt and go to the Undead Settlement. You can kill an npc though and trigger an end game boss The Dancer of the Boreal Valley and go to Lothric Castle, from here you can kill the castle's boss but have to wait to progress till you kill more bosses later game, so again it's forcing you to go it's suggested path. There's nothing wrong with this! In many ways having a set path to go is a good thing, it's definately less confusing. But I believe that having choice about where you want to go is what makes games like this great. In Darksouls when you get to Firelink shrine, you have a choice. You can go to Blight town right out of the gate, and go fight Quelaag. Or you can go to the Undead Burg and fight the Bell Gargoyles and those bosses. Or you could even go into the catacombs and fight Pinwheel early, and if you really wanted to you could go into New Londo early. The choice is up to you about where you want to go.

Covenants and Npcs

Darksouls has a large amount of Covenants and very memorable NPCS compared to the other games. A lot of the NPCS are hidden or you only see them if you join certain covenants, and then certain covenants will allow you to save different NPCS. It's all very intertwined and makes for a large amount of replayability.

Conclusion

Well those are the things that I think make Darksouls the best Darksouls game, if you have any other reasons why it might be or even think that another of them are the best, let me know below.

Secret World Legends: Black Sun, Red Sands, Tier 9 Guide.

Black Sun, Red Sands Tier 9 Alright. So Black Sun, Red Sands in the main story quest in Egypt, but there is a somewhat hard puzzle in Tier Nine. Once you get to a point, it'll say "Continue Singh's research to open the door." This part is really confusing but if you look around there is a bunch of statues. You need to click those in the right order. The right order is #1 Meretseger #2 Ma'at #3 Horus #4 Bast #5 Satis #6 Sekhmet. After you do all of those it will tell you to find the statue of Anibus. If you go all the way back to where you came from the front and jump down. You'll see a door you can now open and that's where it is. Tier 11 You don't really get any more puzzles till you get to Tier 11 you come to a large area with a sand golem in the middle, what you need to do is go to the large pillars and there will be blue portals, go through each one and you'll be on the top of a pillar, you'll see a white box on each of th...

Secret World Legends: Side quest walkthrough pt1

Image
Secret World Legends       Secret World Legends! It is a somewhat new remake of The Secret World, with a whole new combat system. To quote the Executive Producer Scott Junior "We are taking what was an MMORPG and transitioning it into a shared world free-to-play RPG." But SWL is a far cry from the types of MMOs you see today where it just gives you a quest marker you have to follow through the entire game. In Secret World Legends you'll sometimes have a marker to follow, but in a lot of the smaller side quests you'll be given a puzzle or hints that you will have to try and figure out. And that's what we will be covering! Kingsmouth     This is not a  Beginners Guide to the game  or a guide to the main story line either. We'll be focusing on the side quests that you can find around the map. So also all the quests that are inside the main quest we won't be covering, since it explains those to you are fairly st...

Injustice 2 Review

Image
Injustice 2 Injustice 2 released May of 2017 as a sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us. The injustice Series is a fighting game in the style of Mortal Combat with DC super heros with a story line of multiple realities and a civil war between the different superheros. In my opinion Injustice: Gods Among Us is just another fighting game, it had a good story but other than that it was bland. Injustice 2 completely stepped up it's game with singleplayer content and replayability value. And Here's Why! Injustice has a Multiverse System, there is five to six multiverse events you can do, each one you'll have mini events inside each one (AKA having to fight 3 to 18 enemies). Each Multiverse will give you a reward after beating it, and will sometimes require you to play only as one character. Mini events will also give you rewards, and if you get a certain amount of points you can get a Bronze, Silver, and Gold Mother Crate. Now let'...
