I totally get what you are saying. I felt that when I played Demon's Souls of which Dark Souls was the spiritual successor.

It is also why I love Bloodborne so much.

Well said. And I would only want a remaster if it were a true project. I believe I read that He didn't realize his full vision in DemS or DS, and only if he went back and used the technical upgrades to give us that full vision would I want it.

I have played enough of Demons Souls that I can get many hours into the game without dying although when I did die (it's envitable) it was my own fault since a slight lapse of concertation and you are gone.

The one place I usually leave till last is the Valley Of Defilement where you have to brave the rickety platforms which even if you are a high level you can easily die in a fall, then comes the poison swamp (don't even bother healing the poison use regeneration - you did get the shield and ring?) and you can get a really good sword there but you do need faith to wield it.

Currently playing Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin and it is definitely different to the original Dark Souls. Surprisingly once you get over the fact that you should only lock-on for one on one battles and don't lock-on for two or more enemies (you cannot lock-on to spirits) and roll allot. Build yourself as a "tank" without taking into account your carrying capacity and small nimble enemies will take you out quickly.

Souls I didn’t thankfully but Sekiro I did.

mh ur right actually.

dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.

bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
