I agree with the general consensus that Dark Souls Remastered is not worth buying as of now, and it all comes down to eye candy! Looking through my posts, my most viewed one by far is the Attractive Dark Souls 3 Characters, so eye candy as escapism is crucial to many Gamers.
The first step in remastering any game is to make your character slider easy to use, where you can get an instantly good looking character, like in Dark Souls 2 and Monster Hunter:World. The developers could've changed the model creation to be that of Bloodborne or Dark Souls 2 and 3, where people can post real numbers for easy duplication and adoption by others.
Further, there's nothing in the rule books to say that they can't have one of the covenants allow for changes in appearance like in Dark Souls 3. Lastly, why not also have overlay armor, so you can layer over the good looking armor over your Havel's?
Since I thought this will be exactly like last generation's Dark Souls, I used the default Jubilant Catarina, and pushed the slider towards the more serious expression side. That was the only change I made in the old game, and although she's not going to win any beauty pageants, she was actually decent-looking.
For some reason, the Remastered version looked awful, no matter how many tweaks. I got great at speed running to Firelink shrine, using the humanities that you pick up at the dried up well to turn human, then being upset with how she came out. I think I spent 10 hours or so just doing this, due to the lengthy loading time for restarting a new game.
Sadly, it doesn't seem that From software will give us character sliders of their bosses and NPCs. Who wouldn't want their character to look like Crossbreed Priscilla (Exhibit A) or Laurentius (Exhibit B)?
The next sad thing I saw is the iconic "You Defeated" was changed to "Victory Achieved" as this unfortunate change came from last generation PC Prepare to Die Edition. Fortunately "You Defeated" was kept intact for the Console versions back then. Sadly, the developers of the Remastered edition didn't see the importance of "You Defeated". I'm not sure how that was lost on them given the iconic nature of the statement.
I think this is why we Console Gamers are considered "peasants", because PC Gamers can easily change this back to the correct "You Defeated". Also, you all have DS Fix, so you didn't need to buy the Remastered in the first place!
As of now, instead of "You Defeated", I can say that "I'm Defeated", failing at the character creation sliders.
Dark Souls is my favorite game, so I'm hoping that after a month or so, people would come out with attractive sliders for this Remastered version. If that's the case, then I would agree that the game is worth a purchase if you fall within these criteria.
In the meantime, I'll continue to play Monster Hunter: World, working on Crown farming, and looking forward to the Summer event that includes new monster Behemoth from Final Fantasy.
What are you thoughts? Is it too superficial to not play the Remastered version due to these unfortunate features?
