WC writes: In light of how the PC version of Dark Souls is releasing in August accompanied by new content, most notably new bosses, I thought it would be nice to take a look back at the original game that released on consoles. No doubt Dark Souls was a contender for many as their Game of the Year of 2011, a big reason for that being the numerous boss battles that take place in Lordran.
In this list we look at the top 8 bosses of Dark Souls. Why 8? Because 8 will more or less represent the top one third of boss battles in the game, providing a good take on battles whilst not diluting the list. I should also note how I came up with this list, which was by taking into account a variety of factors. This list is based on an overall account of bosses, which means I’m not solely basing it on difficulty, but including other elements like atmosphere, battle progression and pure fun amongst others. I’ll make mention of these aspects as we go along.
There are some video game locations which hit you right in the feels. Are these the most emotional places in gaming to visit? Jump Dash Roll counts down 9 destinations in today's feature.
Is the OoT screenshot a comp of hyrule field with the Windows Vista desktop layered over the foreground?
Bandai Namco has released its latest financial report, revealing that the Dark Souls series has reached around 40 million units combined.
Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.
This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.
mh ur right actually.
dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.
bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
Surprised Moonlight Butterfly isn't in there. A very unique experience overall with that one.
Ornstein and Smough are my favorite boss fight of any game, period. That one was just epic.
I thought the bell gargoyles and the gaping dragon were pretty cool fights. The gaping dragon fight was prob the easiest in the game but it was fun in my opinion.
i loved the bell gargoyles and i really liked the gaping dragon, basically i agree with imputed, plus i like the stray demon!
