rynlingWhile I was being viciously gored to death in Ultra HD in Elden Ring yesterday evening, I thought, But what if Dark Souls??
It turns out that Dark Souls is also insanely gorgeous in Ultra HD. You really do feel like you can just reach out and touch the crumbling castle walls. And I know this is probably not why the vast majority of people play Dark Souls, but the moss on the crumbling castle walls is extremely pretty.
I forget which episode, but one of the guys on the Dark Souls podcast recently mentioned that the controls on the Nintendo Switch version of Dark Souls Remastered are somewhat unresponsive. It turns out this is true! I'm not saying that Dark Souls is ever going to be "easy," but I had a much smoother ride through the two initial boss fights on the PS4(/5) version. I will probably still be horribly murdered by the Capra Demon (my beloved), but at least I will be able to properly enjoy the overgrown garden in the boss arena. My goal is to try to make it through (the infamously difficult) Anor Londo this time around.
I know I should play Final Fantasy XVI, but listen. The Dark Souls moss is so green and so beautiful.
