Why Darksouls Is The Best Darksouls Game.

Image
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 Ca...

How To Be OP Early In Darksouls 3

How to Be Early In Darksouls 3 In Darksouls, there isn't just one build you can do and be amazing at the game. There isn't one build that's the best and is better than them all. Sure there's easier builds, Using a sword and straightsword is pretty solid, so is using one of the Ultra Greatswords, heck Sellsword winblades are killer. But that's maybe not what you want to do. You might want to use an axe, or pyromancies, or even twin daggers I dunno, But at the end of the day almost and build, weapon combos, and good stats applying to those weapons or spells, can be good. Heck, someone using the Broken Straight Sword could do twice as good as someone using an Ultra Greatsword if they know how to use it right and have right stats applying to that, but we're talking about early game now.  Almost every weapon you'll get in early game Darksouls is going to be underwhelming in the damage department, which is why we have a little thing called Weapon Reinfor...

Darksouls 3 Combat Darksouls has one of the best combat systems in any of the games I've played it. It's fair, there is many options and well, it's super enjoyable. Each weapon in Darksouls has it's own move set, although except for a few weapons that have the same move set. Each weapon also has a weapon art which can make a big deal when doing PvE or Pvp.
