I'm detecting a strong presence of faggots who can't git gud in this thread right now.

Slow, deliberate combat, atmosphere, and exploration.

If you don't get it, it ain't for you.

>>5221392
Just not his taste, man. KF games aren't even hard.

>>5221361
It's sort of like being inside of a bleak world where the situation resembles a rubik's cube. At first there is only confusion and chaos, but slowly with cognizant action and continuous intentional progress, the mystery is solved and returns to order again, and the light is revealed from within.

It's about finding the light in the darkness, and patiently overcoming the obstacles.

Good game to play when you're sick. Bad game to play when you're really busy.

I really like the combat and the atmosphere is unmatched.

People who can't get enough of Dark Souls

>what's the deal with the greatest games ever made
gee what could it be...

>>5221438
Rooting it on the fixed turn speed and movement speed was honestly a stroke of genius, even though Armored Core is obviously on another level when using that element.

From software was really just fucking on point when we transitioned to 3D. There were just right fucking in there
>Hey bro you know how you always wanted driving a robot to be like
>yeah man we made it so you can do it with a controller

I mean shit man I love how fast zone of the enders is but I fucking love how SLOW very specific parts of armored core are.

>>5221361
I never played the first one, but I did get the second one as a Christmas gift and beat it without a guide. My family didn't own a PC or have internet then, it took me forever to figure out and find some stuff needed for progression.

>>5221361
They're the game of choice for Dark Souls hipsters after the Souls series became too mainstream. Nobody cared about these games before Dark Souls because there's a thousand PC games that do the concept better.

>even though Armored Core is obviously on another level when using that element.
I love Armored Core 1 so goddamn much. Really feels like they realized the movement limitations for 3D console games of the time and found the absolute best way to utilize them.

Exploration and level design is some of the best you will get outside of PC dungeon crawlers, combat's basic as fuck but somehow has an enjoyable risk vs reward element to it that keeps it from getting boring. Atmosphere is strangely comfy and nice despite being miserable and bleak. I dunno it's a series that has to be played, videos and screenshots make it look like total dogshit but playing it is surprisingly fun.

>>5221579
name one

>Nobody cared about these games before Dark Souls

Nobody cared about the games, but the series managed 4 games (3 of which came out here) along with a spinoff series (1 of which came out here).

Really makes you think.

>>5221363
Came here to say this.

>>5221361
Some people like archaic obtuse first person dungeon crawlers with no map that play like you're wading through molasses for some reason.

>>5221729
Don't forget about Eternal Ring.

>>5223225
>no map
Some people play games for more than 5 minutes before writing them off and go make inaccurate claims on the internet.

>>5223225
>needing a map
No wonder you couldn't into KF. Casual faggots like you should stick to Dark Souls instead.

>>5223242
>>5223492
That caused some damage

>>5221361
The greatest pleb filter of all time, where the game overwhelms the player at first and DARES him to make sense of the world.
Guess what happens when you stick to it instead of giving up? It becomes one of the best open ended dungeon crawlers for consoles, that's what happens.

>>5223525
>I-I was only pretending to be retarded, you see... hehehe trolled!

>>5221395
This, pretty much.

King's Field (JPN) was a really fun game for the first two levels. I swear it was the most addicting game I had played since quite a while. The second two levels weren't as good.

>>5223242
did kings field 1 and 2 have that?

>>5223541
Joke's on you I'm actually retarded and you are actually butthurt.

>>5221363
fpbp

>>5223571
Looks like the first one. But if I remember right, you kind of had to go rather deep in the first level to actually get the map.

>>5223230
>>5221729
Or Shadow Tower for that matter.

Stick with it, the beginning is rough but From software games really start to shine more and more once you get past the initial hurdle.

>>5223571
Haven't played Ancient City, but I know that KF 1-3 have in-game maps you can find and use to get around without getting too lost.

>>5221361
Since there's a thread dedicated to this game I'll ask here: Are there more games like King's Field?

>>5225486
I guess you mean from a different developer.

Ultima Underworld, Arx Fatalis.

Any modern equivalents?

>>5221583
I could never do that level where you have to ascend all these cubes, and then fight this ultra fast AC at the top.

>>5221361
>be incompetent jap dev
>try to make skyrim on your piece of shit hardware
>end with a corridor full of puke with the worst weapon wing animation ever made
>try to play it off as hardcore slow exploration gameplay
>as a gook you have to believe it because you blew your life savings on a ps1 and this game and it's all you have to play after work

What's the matter OP, Ultima Underworld with single digit framerate too hard?

>>5227659
>>try to play it off as hardcore slow exploration gameplay
It was never advertised like this.
Why are you buttblasted? Did you fall in the sea at the beginning?

>>5227659

At least call him out on the dumbest part of the post.

>>5227673
>>5227669
huh swing weapon like a baby
back off and wait for the bar to refill
huh swing again
10/10 atmosphere experience of no ost and a skeletton clicking his teeth behind you

>>5221361
atmosphere, the feeling of true wonder and mystery, unlike most exploration games these games have a true sense of unknown

>>5227673
Sorry senpai I only skimmed through his raging bullshit.

>>5227689
What's wrong with you? Are you seriously angry or it is baby's first contrarian try?

>>5221658

Severance

>>5223492
but dark souls doesn't have a map either

>>5221361
for people who want the dungeon crawler experience without the party management?

idk, i really enjoyed them, 4 and 2 were my faves

Who starts a thread like this anyway?
You have to be 18 to post here, where are the mods?

>>5229471
abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

>>5229398
true, but the level design is extremely simple compared to a king's field game so you have even less of a reason to need one in souls shit

>>5221395
I like the atmosphere, but I didn't get to do much exploring. I can deal with slow combat, but in King's Field it's unspeakably clunky and unpolished, just like Dark Souls.

>>5223225
King's Field had maps you just had to not have brain damage to find them.

>>5223571
The post you are replying to is a map from KF1

>>5223571
yes

>>5221361

Old Japanese first person dungeon crawler... but now in 3D! At the time this was seen as a big deal. now this gameplay is pretty antequated.
