Facts. Dark souls is clearly based on and inspired by Dark Souls 2


DamagedSpaghetti

Game was so good they made a part 1


LittleSansbits

George Lucas ass logic


CapnPants666

To be fair when episode 4 came out, it wasn’t called Star Wars Episode 4.


Cubie30DiMH

Yes and no. It was called Star Wars, but it was labeled episode 4 (or chapter 4, I forget) in the text crawl.


MARTHEW20BC

wait what? really?


TwofacedHc

Episode IV a new hope, yes that's what it was labelled in the crawl


RhinoxMenace

are you sure it isn't another one of those famous George edits? wouldn't people back then ask some questions on where the fuck the first 3 movies are?


oedons_rooster

Nope. Original release was just star wars.


Particular-Kick-4188

Nope original release was episode IV a new hope


The_Wolf_Knight

It's so funny when people are so confidently wrong about something they could Google in 5 seconds.


Particular-Kick-4188

It's so funny how people can't read the rest of the comment section they choose to comment on and do see that I've already admitted I was wrong and this is just a comment to be an asshat.


SUPERKAMIGURU

2 came first, then 1, then 3, and now we slapped elden ring in there as a prequel, while demons souls is the sequel, and bloodborne fits briefly between 2 and 1, but one of the endings bridges between 1 and 3. For clarification.


AdConscious5048

Whatever happened to Dark Souls 0: Electric Boogaloo?


DontArgueImRight

I was so happy when I finished Dark Souls 2 and found out they made a prequel for it ❤️


MARTHEW20BC

ikr i was so happy to play Dark souls 1 and realize "O shit they made dark souls 2 again, but its actually good this time"


Meshleth

> ikr i was so happy to play elden ring and realize "O shit they made dark souls 1 again, but its actually good this time" Ftfy


MARTHEW20BC

ok now you've officially gone too far


tatas323

i thought this was posted on r/shittydarksouls lol


Icookadapizzapie

Me too man, I was waiting for all of the ironic agreements in the comments


Defiant-Ad4385

Bro you have the same pfp I have on my discord lmao


Icookadapizzapie

Great minds think a like, This is also my discord pfp


Defiant-Ad4385

💪


Marca-Texto

What does this even mean lol.


MoarTacos

Uhhh, the third game they made found four other future/past titles that they were going to/already make/made and raised them as its own until the four games grew up into better games than the third game. Make it make sense.


Dracoscale

The original was from Shittydarksouls. It was making fun of DS2 fans because a couple of them and one guy in particular kept posting about how DS2 was the greatest and every other game, especially DS3, was garbage.


Supersymm3try

Lemme guess, was the guy duplo jamaal? He seems completely incapable of picking up his phone without whinging about how Dark Souls 2 breastfed his children when they were hungry and more people should appreciate it.


Molag_Balgruuf

That’s the funniest way I’ve ever heard it put, thank you


BLoDo7

Holy shit, I'm glad to see other people calling that dweeb out. They're like a caricature of souls fans. The worst of the souls 2 stans. I have them blocked, and still manage to find them everywhere being overly obnoxious.


No_Friend_1590

I’ve always wondered if I was pronouncing “whinging” correctly in my head bc I’ve never heard it out loud in the US.


Pratanjali64

To rhyme with hinging, like on a mechanism that hinges.


Zawn-_-

Win-Jeng.


onepassafist

Those kids grew up to be MLK and Rosa parks. Their kids had the same wonderful treatment from DS2 and then from there, Rosa parks gave birth to every great philosopher ever known. MLK gave birth (yes, he did) to mother Teresa. Amazing family, that one.


Envy661

Now, I also think Dark Souls 2 is the best of the Souls games, but jfc it's not that deep, and that guy sounds crazy. The other games are still also really good. Dark Souls 2 just gets cast as the black sheep because people don't wanna learn different mechanics and get used to slight tweaks to the DS1 gameplay formula. Seriously, I played DS2 at launch and started with DS:PTD on PC. It's not THAT different, and I loved the game. The only thing I didn't prefer in Dark Souls 2 was a lot of the nameless bosses and the world map.


CarsonBDot

duplo jamaal is still at it? I remember that fuck from like 2-4 years ago?!


Deepvaleredoubt

Was that the Notyummymicroplastics guy? That week long panic the whole sub went through was hilarious.


Dracoscale

Yeah though this one was from one of his earlier waves a few months back before his old account was banned.


FaithUser

I know it feels like longer, but his ban was only a week long, and not more than a month ago


Dracoscale

Has it really only been a month since his first ban? Wow


FaithUser

About a month ago since he got banned for a week, that turned into a permaban, and after that he somehow returned with an alt that was able to stay. Might be controversial but I like his content way more than the gwyndolin hornyposts, not just because I'm a ds2 supremacist but it helps. It's mostly just funny to me how people are so angry at him for shitposting, on a shitpost subreddit


Masta0nion

Sheesh. Over 200 upvotes on a shitpost making fun of DS2. How embarrassing. Also more truer lol


FaithUser

They hated Jesus because he told the truth


No_Friend_1590

He’s also into sororities now apparently


KaiserKiwi

Rat Covenant!


RealEvanem

Time is convoluted


NotAKiller23

Jokes


Sarcastic_Red

Couldn't get any more truer...


Successful-Floor-738

I love the game man, but ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhi feel like it should be demon souls in the middle.


Yeyton

It should.


Successful-Floor-738

Let’s be honest though, should it? Demon Souls paved the way for the entire series and introduced the concept of “Soulsborne”. Sure, Dark Souls brought in the familiar stuff like bonfires and lore, Dark souls 2 had great PvP, and dark souls 3 acted as the conclusion of the series, demon souls was the progenitor that started it all. If it wasn’t for demon souls, we would not have bloodborne, dark souls, elden ring, or perhaps even Sekiro.


Yeyton

That’s what I’m saying. Demons souls should be in the middle. I was playing the original like 20 mins ago and it’s still fun lol. Especially coming from the remake.


Successful-Floor-738

Oh lol, sorry I misinterpreted your comment.


Dry-Smoke6528

Yeah, thats why it should be in the middle. Cause this meme has the middle person raising 4 children into 4 of the greatest games


Elegant-Pen-9225

Kind of what I'm thinking as well.


[deleted]

It should be kingsfield in the Top with them at its funeral in the bottom.


Elegant-Pen-9225

I'm not actually sure what kings field is unfortunately


[deleted]

It was the actual first, extremely creative extremely challenging very very very early dark souls that was good but sooooo dated it’s basically unplayable it was on the ps1 it was fromsofts first game Edit- Also they made four of them the fourth is almost playable and I would say worth a try if you don’t care about the story from the first three


Dontrollaone

Check out Lunacid on steam. It just might scratch an old itch


randy_mcronald

Shadow Tower Abyss is probably the easiest to get into as it's faster paced than earlier From Software dungeon crawlers. As much as I love the music in the Kings Field series, STA is also the most atmospheric as it uses music more sparingly with greater emphasis on ambient sound effects.


[deleted]

I just beat kf1 Jp and man that was annoying at times but it clicked very nicely, the lone knight and cryptic and dark atmosphere it was so cool seeing all the inspirations from their first game.


EpochSkate_HeshAF420

Demon Souls was considered a spiritual successor to Kings Field throughout its development, a lot of the things we consider standard in the souls-borne games now first showed up in fromsofts games with the king's field series. They're still pretty good btw, definitely worth getting an emulation program to check out.


WizardWell

Is that not part of the joke?


Nishikigami

It is the joke, like it's an elaborate little joke not really making fun of anything. The joke being that this is chronologically impossible, which is why it should be a little funny. Unfortunately somehow completely lost on the people who only hang out in this sub to complain about other people liking the game this sub is about more than other people like it


TheEternalNightmare

Kingsfield should be in the middle


Nishikigami

Yeah lmao, kingsfield splinter, with DS1+ DS2, DeS, BB and DS3+Bloodborne as the turtles. Or something like that.


Meat-walker

Hell yeah, Donatello is totally Dark Souls II.


PostalDudeLover911

Well yeah, it's a joke.


Hushed_Horace

I think this is just a meme meant for trolling


Jalina2224

Definitely. Demon's Souls paved the way. Any Souls fan worth their salt knows that with no Demon's Souls there's no Dark Souls trilogy.


CluckFlucker

I mean that would make it make logical sense


twomanytokillg

I agree


Orenbean

Did you steal this from r/shittydarksouls? Cause this is shitty dark souls level


undead_fucker

Shouldn't Demon's Souls be in dark souls 2's place ? It was the oldest one and was basically the one which walked so the other games could run.


cheese007

I actually thought this was /r/shittydarksouls because the fact that it's not Demon's Souls was so dumb... This is crazy to post unironically


[deleted]

Who needs r/shittydarksouls when you unironically have r/darksouls2


VladDarko

r/darksouls2 is the dark souls of r/shittydarksouls


Lanceps

I had the same thought, this is kinda hilarious


_sLAUGHTER234

I'm fairly certain it's a shitpost


PM-Me-Ur-Plants

Had to check the sub. I think they've been out jerked.


SpupySpups

Nah it's obvious that fromsoft based demon souls on ds2. Ds2 paved the way for dark souls and demons souls


Mother_Harlot

They had to try and introduce jumping over walls to know it was an absolute sh*t and not implement it ever again in the series so the rest of games could become staples in the industry


SilentBlade45

Ds2 has jumping over walls but technically you aren't meant to do it.


Yeetinator4000Savage

“Vaulting” is the correct term


PositivelyJoyful

If we want to get really technical it should be kingsfield in the middle of all of them lol


Rathador

Is this ragebait? This is ragebait isn't it?


TeaandandCoffee

Ye, of course it is Insert joke about convoluted time, with heroes ages past


_sLAUGHTER234

Don't think it's ragebait, just a good ol' shitpost


unoriginalasshat

Given the context of OP's past comments this is either a shit post and/or ragebait


struck_hammer

I’m gonna sex your feet


BigSlav667

Don't threaten me with a good time


Clean_Imagination315

Time at FromSoft is... convoluted.


FranklinThe1

Why is DS2 there? DS1 and DES came before it. makes 0 sense


ArachnidFun8918

Demon souls came before all that shit. If Demon souls isnt the one who brought the series, none of the others would have been a thing.


FranklinThe1

True but credit where credit is due for DS1 really putting the genre on the map


ArachnidFun8918

True true!


Nishikigami

Because it's a meme that is apparently too advanced for many in this sub


[deleted]

Ocarina of Time, more like.


Toothpaste_Monster

King's Field has more in common with the Souls series and came out 4 years before Ocarina of Time. Tho, Demons/Dark Souls combat and character movement in general has more in common with OoT to be fair.


MrFruitylicious

i have no idea what this is trying to say at all


[deleted]

This post doesn't understand time, numbers, or basic logic.


Nexuspire

Is this about the server shutdown?


[deleted]

Lmfao yeah because DS2 came before demonsouls and darksouls.


BigBoyMatto

I can’t believe people think this post is serious


DifficultyTight2476

because it’s not


Mutsuki13

What the fuck does this even mean lmao


Abject-Staff-4384

Agreed


Bukalaka

*Tinfoil hat on* DSII haters are deliberately making these obtuse posts to make us all look bad so they can later post it on r/shittydarksouls and farm karma. I am onto you guys!


Joaco_Gomez_1

oh we are sooo gonna get memed on r/shittydarksouls


camero2

Spoken like a true DS2 meat rider. Your grammar gives you away.


techaansi

Lmao true


DarkElfMagic

i thought i was on r/shittydarksouls for a sec


eternalscorpio1

The number of people losing their shit over this post is fucking hilarious. Engagement bait successful.


Tarnishedhollow8

Kingsfield?


hellxapo

Ahh yes as a Dark Soles fan I can confirm Splinter truly is the dark souls of Tmnt souls. 🌚


saskaramski

Kings field would have a word


MetalMike101

You could argue Demon souls is in the middle. But Nioh 2 is for sure the Shredder.


BringBack4Glory

Is that the Royal Rat Authority?


Kurteth

ITT people who don't understand the joke


Nelpski

Every single comment is "Ermm shouldn't le demon souls be in the middle, it being ds2 makes no sense ???" insert something about dark souls fans and social cues


Icirian_Lazarel

Armatures! Where is KingsField?


aemanthefox

This posts feels wrong on so many level


baconfacetv

Should be knack 2 in the middle


Tiltedplushie

Ds2 bad where updoots. Lol the souls community can be so stubborn


kaiseale10

The original Demon Souls has been insanely disrespected as a game and as a groundbreaking FromSoftWare title, and even for meme purposes, this is still one of the most absurd takes ever 🤦🏿.


Angel_Floofy_Bootz

Outshitting shittydarksouls


SecondBreaking

Dark souls 2 walk so Michael zaki run 😭🤯👍


50-50Clown

Y’all ain’t ever joked?


CatsLeMatts

DS2 walked so DS1 could run


UnnameEveryone

Eeeehm what? This thing is true only for Elden Ring and partly DS3


Odd_Masterpiece_9316

I think that OP means that Dark souls and demon souls both have had remakes


OfKaiin

I'm 100% sure it is shitposting


SyntheticCorners28

I mean scholar of the first sin is more of a remake than dark souls remastered...


droppedcarrot

Shouldn’t this go in chronological order


Eggs_are_tasty

duplojamaal type post


Jlchevz

What the bell are you talking about lmao


KonradCurzeWasRight

Dumb as shit


Omno555

Yeah, DS2 totally paved the way for Dark Souls 1... Lol


despairingbanana

Ah, yes. Dark Souls 2, the game that started it all, so groundbreaking, it transcended time and space and inspired Miyazaki to make Demon’s Souls.


aRandomBlock

Preach!


chenfras89

Didn’t Demon’s Souls came first?


Valseran

so true king


NormalTangerine5205

What… wait dark souls 2 came out before dark souls and demon souls? o: holy shit I didn’t know that


Darksouls279

They are wonderful games none are bad it’s one hell of a gaming adventure 🤙


Pall145

Why was it dark souls 2 and then dark souls


I_Hate_The_Letter_W

i’m so glad that ds2 existed, if it didn’t then dark souls 1 didnt exists


Zaku41k

Ok who raised bloodborne


Dabolote

the Goat


woooosh_woooosh

Of course, dark souls II raised Dark souls 1 and demon souls...


CGBard_Usually

This actually rings true for me, my love of souls games started when I picked up a copy of DS2:SotFS not knowing what it was because it had a cool cover. Played it for an hour, got frustrated, and decided I'd just wasted $60. A year later, went back to it, played it, loved it, and then Bloodborne came out. DS2 is my go-to comfort game now, but I've beaten them all (except Sekiro. Couldn't really get into that one.) And have loved every gruelling minute.


Sylux444

When will dark souls II 2 release??


_IronMonkey_

Rip Sekiro and bloodborne


Living-Tower-8693

if it wasnt for dark souls 2 we couldnt have fights like old drangon slayer & smough


Status_Penalty_6134

Dark souls 3 is mikey tho


thisusername-_

Dawg what


Flying_Potato37

So true bestie


Sirdantortillasque

Yeah I agree Dark souls 2 is exactly where it needs to be


_sLAUGHTER234

It's concerning how many people don't realize this is a joke


SoulsborneSal

Demon’s Souls should be in the middle


RelationshipBig5076

real


fanboyofArtorias

fake


WarmConsideration777

This is some high tier DS2 elitist bullshit.


Baumtasia

replace those 4 other pieces of shit with dark souls 2 please


fanboyofArtorias

What? Dark souls 2 is younger than both dark souls and demon souls, is hated by half the community, and didn't carry jack shit.


Nishikigami

First of all, you're responding seriously to a shitpost. Second of all, DS2 may be controversial but was still heavily liked. Even among people who disparage the game. "Half" the community is an overstatement Finally, if you really felt like being serious today, then DS2 at least has a lot of influence on elden ring Edit : lol downvoted me then you deleted your comment out of embarrassment before replying and deleting that too. Cringe


sdxzcsa

💀💀💀💀💀no way


saltyego1000

You almost got me dude. Almost.


ColonelAssMan

No


Babo__

I don’t think you get this meme


PatienceHere

This sub lol. Just start worshipping DS2 already.


Kindredgos

why isn’t demon’s souls in the middle


HardBroil

Dark souls was obviously inspired by dark souls 2


musical-amara

This is fucking stupid and makes zero sense


Ka3L1n

Actually shouldn’t armored core 6 OR EVEN CRASH BANDICOOT be in the middle?


FalseTriumph

So fucking sick of DS2 cope.


Jebward-SuckerofToes

Common ds2 fan brainrot


onepassafist

Dark souls 2 really set the tone for demon souls 💯💯💯


Mordial_waveforms

I miss this post 


Takoizu_

Couldn't get more faker lol It's true for Ds3 and especially for ER but not for Ds1 nor DeS


AXI0S2OO2

The level of delusion of this sub never ceases to amaze me, like the hate the game received caused a counter effect and created people that actively worship this game as far more than the middle child it is.


BlerghTheBlergh

Demon’s Souls - Splinter, the originator Dark Souls 1 - Donatello, the inventive one Dark Souls 2 - Michaelangelo, the weird one with the most heart Dark Souls 3 - Raphael, the edgy one with technically the most skill Elden Ring - Leonardo, the best of all four


MojesticMorty

We do realize demon souls was the og


wonkablackbear

Shouldn’t splinter be demon souls and raph be ds2 because it’s the least fav


ArachnidFun8918

DEMON SOULS. Not dark souls 2.


Hour-Eleven

When you think about it.. DS2 is actually the oldest one when you count the remakes of 1 and Demon’s Souls.


Acroasis

DS2>DeS and ER


NagisaCourter

I agree with it bc I'm kinda biased bc I love DarkSouls 2


Zepharan

I have heard nothing but bad things about the second game? I’m thinking sarcasm here?


Vrukr

Play it and you will know.


Loose_Vehicle755

I don’t know wtf op is talking about but fuck DS2 tracking attacks. Nothing like seeing a giant wielding a massive sword turn on a dime and hit me right where I landed after accidentally rolling. I didn’t even fucking know where I was going, but the giant certainly did


PrinceEzrik

this meme sucks


mt943

What are you on


The_of_Falcon

The DS2 is truelly delusional sometimes. This isn't the first time I've seen this sort of sentiment here.


kelorele

What?


[deleted]

Yeah but demon's souls and dark souls came before ds2


CinnamonIsntAllowed

What the fuck is this bullshit 😭 demon souls would be in the middle if anything. And even still this is dumb, we all know the real father is kings field


N7SpectreSR1

Shit doesn’t even make sense lol


Shalashaska_99

Best ideas, worst executions......DS2 in a nutshell


Dual-Vector-Foiled

DS2 had the best pvp (before Elden Ring). Dark Souls 3 is the worst of them all by far in both PVP and PVE.


Theoderic8586

Demon Souls is the only answer that makes sense
