After 30 minutes, you will be given a trivia test. You have to tick the right box with your remote. If you fail, you get a “You died” screen and have to watch the episode again until you succeed and can watch the next episode. There are no help pages on the internet. If you google for help, all you get is "GIT GUD! People who ask for a story mode are shouted at.
Their track record isn’t that bad, is it? Castlevania and Edgerunners were pretty good adaptations. Dragon Age was all right. And Arcane was amazing, though Netflix wasn’t involved in that one early on. So there’s reason to be at least cautiously optimistic, IMO.
Of the original Dark Souls? Vaati’s series is very illuminating but the story itself is mostly told through the item descriptions and NPC interactions.
This summary on the wiki covers the overarching story!
That’s what I was thinking. With these sorts of announcements, it’s normally just ‘Well. It’ll be what it’ll be’, but with how great Castlevania was done, there’s actually a decent chance this will be solid
Dark Souls is kind of a lonely game, I wonder if they'll recruit some ally npc characters like the Solaire, Siegmeyer and that funny little guy named Patches. Or will they go the Samurai Jack style and revel in the loneliness of the journey.
I could go for this. Netflix has had some good animated video game adaptations, like Edgerunners and Arcane. Plus, what I saw of Castlevania was awesome. But, it is Netflix, so who the hell knows.
They should pause when showing item description and after the end credits, they should link to youtubers explaining what happened actually in the anime.
I honestly don't know what a game can do to survive as a live service nowadays. Japanese live services games in particular are just DOA instantly, but even giants like Valve (Artifact) and Blizzard (OW2) are failing at this. Can't charge money upfront because no one would try the game. Can't go F2P with paid cosmetics/characters because people will complain about microtransactions (because these game companies are charities, right?). Can't change the game too much in updates, can't have too few updates. Seems like we are just going to be stuck with the same handful of old live service games for the rest of eternity.
