Girls, if you thought Dark Souls was slow compared to something like Bloodborne or Eldy, you should go play Demon's Souls. Noah Caldwell-Gervais compared Dark Souls 1 to a turn-based game but Demon's Souls feels at times almost literally turn-based. It is WILD how far the series has come.

I haven't played this game since like

Maybe literally since I was in high school

And it's very funny to go back to it now and see all these setups that stumped me for literal hours and just breeze through them because I'm a lot smarter and also better at video games in general and Souls games specifically

Also holy shit the thumbsticks on my PS3 controller are SO LOOSE, they feel awful

It's also VERY funny to approach the game the way I play Eldy (no shield, we dodge roll like men) because so much of Demon's Souls does seem to assume you'll have a shield up

It's not like the game punishes you for playing a more mobile style, it just reveals a lot of limitations of the encounter design

The game is janky, it has a lot of bad systems that don't make sense, it's slower'n molasses on a winter morning, and I think I like it

@niki @coriander sonic fans have been proving this to be true for decades

well except with sonic boom. i don't think anybody liked that one

@maple @niki If that game had been functional, it would have had fans

@coriander @maple @niki or if they never patched out the hilarious launch bugs, at least more ironic fans

@himbovoorhees @coriander @niki at least we got some good writing out of the sonic boom cartoon

@maple @coriander @niki also Boom gave us sexy dorito Eggman

@himbovoorhees @coriander @niki oh yeahhhh
