what dark souls really needs is a gravity and/or portal gun as well as a humorous ending song.
what dark souls really needs is a difficulty slider and an option for voice chat |

The only thing Dark Souls needs is to not make you push A to remove the picked up item message that blocks boss HP and takes up too much screen real estate.
Everything else is perfect. Dark Souls is gaming's formal apology for itself.

What I miss in both souls games is a way to read again texts. That said it forces me to be attentive but sometimes I miss a part of some text that will never be told again (without replaying the whole game).

what dark souls needs is to not disable half the controls when you read a orange soapstone message
oh, and also tell you what item you're about to pick up when you're in range (I don't want your smelly hollow armor, dead hollow warrior!)

A lot of the messages could easily just pop up without the need for player interaction, such as the soapstone messages, item messages, et cetera.

Yeah, also it would break immersion a lot. I'm tempted to remove the UI altogether because of the incredible immersion force of the game.

nah, too distracting when youre in the middle of a fight. The soapstone messages are unreadable when you're in a boss battle, and they could just not pop up when you are being targeted by an enemy or you could choose when they toggle on and off. Here's an example of what the message system could have looked like:  With the message just fading in and out as long as you stand on it. Pressing A to read a message is stupid and makes a lot of the people not bother to read them. |

Pushing A is such a pain in the ass. I wish I didn't have to push ANY buttons to play a game. I can't believe that to read a thing in a video game I still have to push the A button. (psst, nobody is not reading them because they don't want to push A) |

still sounds a lot more annoying than just pressing A haha also where do you get the idea that no one reads messages? |

At least in the PC version, no one bothers to rate messages, it's too much of a pain. I'm making a game where you press a button to read text, I know that pressing A isn't that much of a pain, however, why not streamline the system and make messages easier to see and rate? It's no different than having a giant "PRESS A TO READ" thing pop up when you're standing on a message, except you've read it already.
If you can toggle the messages on and off with a button press like Select, there's no problem where you don't want to read the messages and they show up anyway. Going through the game the first time? Turn real time messages on. Backtracking? Turn them off.

in demon's souls there's no soapstone, youre just using select to both rate and write messages, and guess what, you come across tons of messages with ratings in the 100s even tho you have to press a button(!!!!) to read them. it's all the soap stone's fault.
but then demon's souls' multiplayer culture is better in general. there are less spawncampers and lagstabbers in pvp too.

Theres also actual consequences if you fuck up in pvp or coop, at least as much as you value a lost level.
I actually wonder how viable spawn-camping even is in DS when its way more expensive to be in human form, and there's way less 'dickhead overpowered invader' behaviour in the first place.
