      ​​@@RandomNorwegianGuy.I agree with the base games having shitty designed areas (my favorite is probably the walk up to drangleic castle because of the atmosphere and shrine of amana looks beautiful but it's controller breaking gameplay wise), but have you not played the dlcs?? Shulva and the brume tower especially have better and more fun level designs like some of the areas in the other two games in my opinion. They also have the worst areas in any game ever at the same time though with iron passage (just wtf) and frigid outskirts, i really don't know what they were thinking

    Been playing through Leyndell for the first time.
    Every time I think I finished it, I discover another side I haven't checked.
    Impressive enemy variety too.
    I just learned through this video that there are path on the roofs too, can't wait to try them later.
    Gonna take my time before I take on Morgott for sure.
    Felt the same way for Stormveil Castle too, it took me days to finish exploring everything and even then I had missed the path that takes you to fight the crucible knight underneath until later in my playthrough.
    It's crazy how all of these games contain such incredible areas that can be missed entirely or even just little hidden paths that take you to a new encounter or cool items.
    I also played most of Bloodborne and DS3 so for those games some my favorite areas were Central Yharnam, of course, and Cathedral of the Deep.
    Castle Cainhurst and Irithyll of the Boreal Valley are close seconds for me.
    Can't wait to experience all the areas I still didn't get to in these games, they're so good!

    @1:50 if you run from the Weird Spidey Sister bonfire over the bridge to the bed of chaos (instead of the bonfire in the lava lake), you can farm the sole respawning titanite demon on the bridge on your way to the boss, thereby making the run worthwhile even if you die 🙂

      @@thex6992 Its weird with fromsoft. There was no real evolution regarding visual area design and detailing but rather an insane jump from Ds2 to Bloodborne. In Ds2 you barely have any detailed structures and in Bloodborne they suddenly introduced a multitude of breakable objects like furniture and such. Same with the attention to detail in the later games. Maybe that shows that Ds2 was really just a filler game to bridge over the time that it took them to make Bloodborne which was much more up to date at that time hence why Ds2 felt outdated even on launch. I understand that you still like the vibe of Drangleic Castle, the ominous architecture in the rainstorm is a really striking image, especially from the outside.

    It's hard to pick a least favourite map for Elden Ring. Probably Moonlight Altar because there's large sections of nothing and there isn't a final boss.
    The locations of the Sites of Grace Raya Lucaria makes me mad enough to put it near the bottom. There's a shortcut that takes you from the top of the Church back to the bottom, but it's only useful if you die to one mob. Otherwise you may as well warp out to a Site of Grace.
    The best map is really hard too. Probably Stormveil because there's so many routes you can take and so many secret areas you can find. Then you have areas (and enemies) that encourage stealth, about five optional mini-bosses, three NPCs you can interact with, and two bosses to kill. I was sad when I found Godrick in a courtyard instead of having a central keep to clear.

I'm someone to walk through every area finding every item but Dark Souls 3 is the only one to break that rule. I run past so much in the game cause I hate them so much. The only one that breaks that is Grand Archives but even then I sprint to kill the Crystal Sage quickly.

      @@StrappingYoungLadam I think DS3 just has the least interesting areas generally of any Souls. Maybe just the linearity but it's never felt like the "Ooh whats this?" feeling in the game from first run to now.
      I think gameplay wise DS3 just has the most annoying basic enemies. Notably the thralls or the notorious dogs. I suspect a part of the distaste I have for basic enemies is probably just how poise works in DS3 makes a lot of basic enemies more annoying to fight than a puzzle to solve like in other games.
      Plus the areas just suck and aren't enjoyable to traverse imo and feel uninspired for the most part. The only one I give inspiration to is Irithyll Dungeon but then again it just feels like a better 3-1. I grit my teeth down an extra millimeter whenever I even think about Farron swamp. Cathedral is fine and for the most part original but it's just long and tedious more than enjoyable to me but also if you just go for deacons it's not too bad I guess.
      Also, I've never enjoyed the random like "mid point" (?) areas. Like why does Road of Sacrifices even need to exist or the Profaned Capital? This is probably me being nit picky I guess but they feel like what is even the point.
      Don't even get me started on the DLC areas just ugh. Ringed City itself is so boring and empty and feels thrown together like how Mountaintop of the Giants is thrown together to be "difficult." Dreg Heap is good, I'll give that.

    i get your point about anor londo's epic scale, but somehow the sheer smooth shiny polished nature of it was really offputting for me. maybe it's the textures, maybe the lighting, maybe the level of detail, but somehow anor londo felt very video gamey and not very immersive compared to burg & parish, darkroot, archives, asylum etc.
    it puts me in mind of one of those insane halo reach forge maps where someone has clearly put an enormous amount of effort into creating something huge and impressive, but nonetheless the crude tools available and lack of professional experience give it an amateurish feel.
