Been playing through DS3 since i beat DS2, and id never gotten far in the game prior. I like it mechanically (fromsofts combat post-bloodborne is more my speed than ds1 and 2) but jesus christ i wish this game was less gray

Like i understand the thematic element behind its color palette but its just making my eyes strain. Bloodborne was really gray too but ds3 pushes it to another level

IMHO dark souls 2 is probably my favorite of the Souls Trilogy on an aesthetic level, even tho it kinda looks like a ps2 game at times (maybe because it does???)

Like there are so many points where the player gets really, GORGEOUS views. Not only gorgeous but just dripping with high fantasy love. So many areas look like they could have been taken straight off the front cover of some pulpy 70s fantasy novel or ttrpg booklet.

Ds3 is a beautiful game, i will not sit here and lie to you. Both in fidelity and art direction, it is also a very good looking game, but i feel like it has so fewer moments where i get to see a vista or some setpiece and FEEL it get burned into my brain the same way shit like Earthen Peak or Dragon Aerie did in Ds2. It does not tickle my sense ofwonder the same way 2 did (and this is not nostalgia. I only played ds2 for the first time this year!)

I think if i had to rank the souls games on how i enjoy them visually from best to least-best it'd be like:

Dark Souls 2
Dark Souls 3
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls

idk if it'd help but maybe try reshade and see if you can customize it to a slightly less eyestrain-y color?

uuuuugh i hated dark souls 3 when I co-oped it with my gf, and this was one of the big reasons (the biggest one was getting invaded by overpowered no-lifers every 15 minutes and having everything derailed while we got reamed (unsexy))

very few of the areas had that wow factor that DS1 really nailed, like cresting the mountain to see anor londo for the first time, or descending and emerging from an underground tree into an even deeper and seemingly endless lake with more massive trees reaching up in the distance... ironically the latter area's return in DS3 is one of the few I really remember, since it was quite possibly the most colorful area in the game

also they turned anor londo into one of those protestant megachurches that are a dime a dozen in america and it will never not be funny to me
