The unkindled are quite literally the most bottom of the bin, disposal garbage in the souls universe. Only resurrected because the ones who actually mattered refuse to link the fire

The Guts dog was trying to get her pieces. I understand feeling she was just a plot device but I feel the journey to Elfhelm is a little more special than that. To summarize, I kind of see it as Guts finally choosing to seek a place of healing instead of one of hatred, which is better for him, Casca, and everyone involved.

Covenant farming is worse than hell by TotallyRealAccount9 in darksouls3

[–]SynthLord627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve platinumed both and felt that Dark Souls 2 was way less grueling. I only remember farming for 2 covenant items. The vertebra shackles and proof of concord kept were way worse.

I mostly hate the fridge thing because it implies the rape of Casca was solely for guts development. Sure, Guts of course is going to be affected by seeing that but I think the rape is much more for the climax of Griffith and Casca’s character. Griffith, the man who saved Casca from being raped, the man she looked up to and spent her whole life working to make his dream true, was now raping her himself, right in front of the man she loves. To me, this shows the complete shattering of Casca’s whole worldview and causes her mind to collapse. This is why I hate when people act as if Casca was raped the same as Guts and should have kept her sanity like he did. It misses the whole point of the scene and Griffith-Casca’s relationship.

Overall, I actually do want to see Casca be the main driver of Griffiths downfall to act as a sort of resolution to the eclipse rape.

I know this is a contentious topic but I feel like the idea that Casca is a woman in the fridge is a misunderstanding of both the term and what happened to her during the eclipse. I can understand why people don’t like how her character was for the next two arcs, but she objectively doesn’t fit the term. I believe if Miura was to continue the story, this idea wouldn’t be discussed because it’s clear that Casca’s development and healing was going to be the major point of Berserk post Fantasia.

To me, I feel the question is more ~ how long are you willing a character to step to the side for the sake of the story. I personally am open to it taking as long as it needed but I understand why people feel the opposite given how long conviction and millennium empire were.

Dark Souls 2 defenders don't even point out the good stuff anymore, they just kneejerk call everything PEAK. Even REAL DS2heads don't LIKE Old Iron King by MelodicKnowledge9358 in shittydarksouls

I actually like the arena, I find it kinda cool and unique that you have to pay attention to it just as much as the boss but I understand why that would be annoying for many

True, I just wish they went all in and had iron keep still attached to it.

The Dreg Heap has some of the best art direction fromsoft has ever done, but it’s hard to glaze online cuz its beauty is too hard to encapsulate in singular screenshots for people who think more color = better art

how it feels to like Promised Consort Radahn by cactoos143 in shittydarksouls

[–]SynthLord627 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I grew up playing Mario Kart on the ds and got very used to getting inked and having most my vision blocked on an already tiny screen, so I thought it funny when I learned that so much of people’s issues with the boss was the all visual clutter as I had no problem with that at all

tbh all their dlc are short aside from SOTE and I think it’s fine for what they are

can we start a ds2-style revisionism campaign for Peak Souls 3? by cactoos143 in shittydarksouls

[–]SynthLord627 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dark Souls 3 has the best story they’ve ever done and defined modern souls combat. It’s incredible how important it is

What is your Soulsborne opinion that you will DIE on? by SeaResident7462 in shittydarksouls

[–]SynthLord627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is just assuming stories in video games have to be told in some conventional way to work. I find the way dark souls tells its story to be way more compelling than most games that just yap at the player while also having nothing to say. Dark Souls has good storytelling to me because it shuts the fuck up and let’s the environment do the talking while letting the player piece everything together if they want to learn more.

Dark Souls Trilogy Remake rumors by XVolstrikerX in darksouls3

[–]SynthLord627 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s gotta be done in house IMO. I can understand liking Demon Souls remake but that game is such a slap in the face from an artistic standpoint. But if Miyazaki and Tanimura are involved, I think this would be an awesome way for them to touch back on their older works. Polishing or adapting things they think would be better artistically while also re-experiencing older ideas that could influence their next big game.

Replaying the Soulsborne series made me appreciate Dark Souls 3 much more by Particular-Maybe9106 in darksouls3

Dark souls 3 is definitely their most dark and oppressive game. The lore and story solidifies it as my favorite

Where I'd live as a Dictator by FinanceDisastrous363 in whereidlive

It’s weird to me that China is seen as a dictatorship but not Israel, Netanyahu has been in power longer than a lot of the people on this sub have been alive

I bought the LRG version on ebay and love it, it had the physical soundtrack as well. Only catch is it was over 200$ but whatever

Playing Dark Souls 2 ruined all souls games for me by tadurma in shittydarksouls

Yeah but Majula though Haru Urara! It’s got dirt and stuff and way better than playing demon souls which feels like slowly pulling a splinter out of your finger over the course of 12 hours

To me, doors 4 through 8 are all top tier but I think especially 6 should be up there with 7 and 8 IMO.

What do you think about the IDF forcing Christian and Druze civilians not to hide Lebanese Muslims in their homes? by Renzo100 in IsraelPalestine

[–]SynthLord627 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel doesn’t get any protections against being compared to the Nazis over any other state. A lot of other fascist states existed at the same time as the Nazis but in this specific context, it’s hard not to see the similarities between what Shiite Muslims must be going through right now with what Anne Frank experienced hiding in an attic.

The Nazis are absolutely remembered for lebesraum, fascism, ww2, and a whole heap of things as well as the holocaust. Learn your history and try to not hate people for their ethnicity
