So you believe that adding a little hallway to connect area A and area B somehow makes it a wholly different level design approach?

No @metal definitely played all the games and understands what level design is. Just because they chose to use the hub world doesn't make it different level design.

The level design in demons souls was clearly the point of reference for future souls games. Just making the zones interconnected doesn't magically change the entire approach.

And boletaria has great level design. I prefer it over dark souls.

No Frame Gride and Otomi should be the focus.

@Imalwayswrong dont worry about it mate, not everyone can keep up - dont beat yourself up over it!

I suggest you get acquainted with the term metroidvania to understand Dark Souls world design and yes it's different because in Demon's Souls you could just pick and choose any given world would like to go 1st while in Dark Souls you were forced down a path, not a completely linear one but a path nonetheless if you wanted to progress and that instilled a sense of discovery and progression that Demon's didn't have. The problem with Dark Souls world design is that it wasn't ever going to be as focused as the one we see in Demon's Souls wich is one of the reasons as to why Demon's completely nails the atmosphere while the same can't be said about Dark Souls.

I certainly don't have to worry about idiots that for some reason decide to reply to me but somehow manage say nothing at all.
