Choosing Weapons For Their Looks
However, we also have a related trend in action games like Monster Hunter World, Bloodborne and Dark Souls – choosing a weapon for its looks. I like how the Rookslayer Long Sword in Monster Hunter World looks but it’s not nearly the most effective weapon. Same goes for the Decimation Claws – there are just better options for Dual Blades despite how sick these look. This trend is even worse in Dark Souls and Bloodborne where stats determine just how effective a weapon will be. So while the the Fume Ultra Greatsword in Dark Souls 3 may look sick, it won’t be much use if you poured most of your points into Dexterity.
