After the release, the prequel to "Dark Souls" unsurprisingly swept most of the domestic live broadcast platforms and video websites, after all, it has the word-of-mouth support of the previous work, coupled with a higher level of level design and more perverted game difficulty, it is difficult for this game not to be popular.

Of course, this kind of fire is more in terms of popularity than sales, after all, this game is really too difficult, and it will definitely affect sales on the VR platform.

After all, there are still a few Shake M players in this world, and everyone still prefers to watch the anchor be abused than to be abused in the game in person......

However, the real hardcore gamers were in for a binge, as the Dark Souls prequel did exactly what they were looking for.

Although everyone is desperate in constant suffering, the prequel to "Dark Souls" allows them to regain the pleasure they have not seen for a long time, and let them regain the joy of carefully holding a shield as a newcomer and constantly exploring the unknown world.

Even many people will find it boring to play other simple action games after playing "Dark Souls".

Because after playing Dark Souls, the player has grown on his own, whether it is consciousness, reflexes, or game IQ, he has been trained to some extent, so those simple action games have become unchallenging.

For many soul scientists, the greatest significance of the "Dark Souls" prequel is that it completes the worldview of "Dark Souls" to a certain extent, and also gives an official answer to many previously unresolved questions.

Of course, although this worldview has been completed with a large framework, it is actually imperfect, and it can even be said to be riddled with holes.

Because at the time of design, this game originally had a lot of blank content for players, allowing players to make up for it by themselves, so to speak, everyone has a "Dark Souls" in their minds, and different people will have different interpretations.

But after building a solid enough framework, it not only expresses the spiritual connotation of the game well, but also appropriately makes a lot of blank space for the game, allowing players to imagine and explore on their own.

As the game progress of the Forerunners continues to advance, many doubts that have shrouded everyone before have also dispersed.

The biggest question is, what exactly is the so-called "dark souls"? What kind of story is this, is the player's mission to spread fire or become the Lord of Darkness?

In the Dark Souls prequel, players encounter the Abyssal Serpent and learn the truth about the world.

As mentioned in the opening anime, there are four characters who have obtained the soul of the king, in addition to the three gods with names and surnames, the Sun King Gwen, the witch of Izaris, and the tomb king Nit, there is also a dwarf with an unknown name.

Obviously, this dwarf is the ancestor of the human race, and the king soul he obtained is the dark soul. Dark Souls are distributed among many humans, which means that in fact, every undead person has Dark Souls in them to a greater or lesser extent.

Many of the subsequent settings seem logical, in fact, fire represents the will of God, and the age of fire is the age of God.

The Age of Fire symbolizes the reign of gods such as the Sun King Gwen, so Gwen is willing to spread fire at all costs, and is even willing to sacrifice himself, just so that the age of fire can continue forever.

And the fire is actually a scam, the player plays the undead, and he goes to great lengths to ring the bell twice, just to prove that he has the qualifications to pass the fire. After that, he had to take back the power of the king's soul from many gods for Gwen and continue the first fire.

And the protagonist in "Dark Souls" is even more miserable, as the ashes of no fire, he is obviously an immortal who can't become a salary, but he has to be awakened from the coffin to challenge the powerful salary kings and continue the era of fire for those gods.

In the process, players will battle against many legendary characters, such as the White Dragon Heath, the Hotbed of Chaos, the Sun King Gwen, and many more.

While players get a great sense of accomplishment in challenging these heroes, they also have doubts about the world at large.

These legendary gods have become like the walking dead, so what is the point of the Age of Fire that they are trying to maintain at all costs?

In the final ending of the Dark Souls prequel, players can choose between passing the fire and extinguishing the fire, and if you choose to pass the fire, the entire initial furnace will be turned into a sea of fire.

On the other hand, in the ending of "Dark Souls", there is only a small pinch of flames burning on the player's body, and these two flames are not of the same magnitude at all.

So, this proves that the power of the flame is inevitably declining, and sooner or later it will be extinguished, and that the player's painstaking efforts to spread the fire are just delaying time, and there is really no point.

And as for what the world will be like after the fire is extinguished, no one knows.

The reason why people are afraid of the fire is extinguished is only because the legend says that when the flame is extinguished, it will fall into eternal night.

Many people mistakenly think that this represents the destruction of the world, but in fact, these words are spread by the Sun King Gwen and his children, who are nothing more than to perpetuate the age of God and their own rule over mankind.

After understanding that "Dark Souls" is actually the soul of a person, many players also understand that the Dark Age is the age of man, which is the end of the Lord of Darkness.

Therefore, the final ending of the prequel of "Dark Souls" should be the ending of the fire transmission, that is, the continuation of this reincarnation, otherwise there will be no more story of "Dark Souls"; And the kingpin ending of "Dark Souls" should be the ending of the Dark Lord, which represents the arrival of a new era.

At this point, the main mystery is finally clear, and players finally understand the meaning of the title "Dark Souls".

Through the prequel of "Dark Souls", Chen Mo finally told the entire story of "Dark Souls" completely and clearly.

At the same time, the fate of many characters in the prequel to Dark Souls has also moved many players.

Abyss Rambler Artrius alone against the abyss.

Brother Onion and Sun Knight Solal.

The golden glitter who killed the fireproof woman.

The persuasion brother who embarked on the journey again but became a living corpse.

There are also a variety of supporting characters such as White Spider, Blacksmith, Big Hat Logan, Women's Clothing Boss Gwendrin, Wangcheng Shuangji, etc., there are NPCs and bosses, but everyone has a wonderful story and a sentimental ending behind them.

Some people even replayed Dark Souls out of nostalgia and found many traces of interconnection with the prequel to Dark Souls.

Although there is a long time gap between the two works, and the prequel was made later than this one, in "Dark Souls", people are surprised to find a lot of easter eggs about the "Dark Souls" prequel.

Playing "Dark Souls" again, it feels like a world away.

The White Spider and Clarna were finally reunited, and there were no more demons in the demon ruins, and the flames of chaos had been extinguished.

Walk through the fairytale world of Cold Valley, and through the room with the portrait of Princess Sunshine, where several knights still guard it.

In the royal city, I saw the familiar rotating mechanism, and all the way up, a few big characters of Arnorlund came into view.

It's still the majestic royal city, and it's still the tall knights, but the dead giant blacksmith, the empty princess's boudoir, and Eldridge, who ate the goutfish boss Gwendrin, are all reminding the player.

The world of Dark Souls has changed.

And this sense of vicissitudes makes many players feel sad, but also makes them firmly believe that the ending of the Dark Lord is the real ending of "Dark Souls".
