Okay we've had a few days to take it in.
Is it as bad as Dark Souls 2? Be honest.
Yes I haven't played it but it's shit
>>332157878
okay thanks for the insight
fuck no its like dark souls bloodborne edition
im only 11 hours in but this game is so good, also the bosses are actually fun compared to 2
>>332159595
Why aren't you leaking it?
>>332159595
Oh good, that's all I need to know. Now I can abandon /v/ for 3 weeks in fear of being spoiled on the last Souls game.
>>332160558
nigga im in the loophole xbone version
>>332160558
Pay for the fucking game you Jewish bitch I hope your nose is so big girls make fun of you
>>332160681
Oh right, forgot that's a thing. My bad.
>>332160718
Fuck off, I have it preordered.
>>332160718
>tfw i had to pay for my copy but my friend got it for free because my xbox account is also on his xbox
>>332160836
>Xboners actually have a reason to brag for once
Only thing I'd like to know is if all the locations are separate and you can only warp to them from the hub, or if it's more like bloodborne where you can warp via the hub or travel on foot or by in-world mechanism.
>>332160836
My friend and i are going to be doing that same thing
but he doesnt have the money yet and i'm not gonna buy it and just let the faggot mooch off of it
I haven't played it but it's easily worse than Dark Souls 2, blunder of the fucking century.
>>332160986
You warp the first time, then they're all connected.
And believe me when I say it's probably the best designed Souls game so far.
>>332161143
so its like Bloodborne basically?
>>332161143
Oh, really? I heard it wasn't, have you had any weird "oh how the hell did I get here" moments?
>>332157702
Do you feel like you fit in now?
>>332161143
Literally been playing it all day. Map design is 10/10 and the whole game gives off such a unsettling vibe while exploring. Bosses arnt just "Big Knight/Werewolf/ISIS with Fire Sword/Claws/AK47 bullet sponges" but well thought out and fresh. Had huge hype for this game and it actually surpassed them.
>>332157702
From the streams I've been watching religiously, looks like the best souls yet. It still has the some of the same flaws as other souls games, though.
>>332161434
Also I was actually someone who enjoyed DkS2 for what it was and DkS3 made it look like Casual Souls within 10 minutes.
>>332161367
fuck off, anyone with taste knows that DaS2 is garbage
>>332161434
whats the list of magic and pyro. is it good or stupid.
i was thinking of going bow and sword only as i never saw anything other then the weak pyro magic in other players game
>>332161714
>he plays magic and pyro
>>332161714
Honnestly as per first run tradition since Demon Souls, Ive been doing a Vig/Strength Greatsword build so I havnt looked much into magic. From what I skimmed you have your basic Soul Arrow, Lightning Spear, along with some other neat looking stuff. Overall seems solid.
I thought it didn't come out till April? How are you all playing it?
>>332161434
Fuck. I've never played any of these kind of games and am planning to make DS3 my first, reading stuff like this just makes me so excited.
>>332157878
can confirm
>>332161948
None of your fucking business.
>>332161584
You mean everyone knows it is what shitters meme about on /v/ and that plebs like you copy them trying to fit in.
>>332161905
have you tested bow if so how is it
>>332161584
The DLC is great though.
Base game is pretty meh however.
>>332162003
PLAY DEMONS SOULS, ITS THE BEST
Getting to Anir Londo again felt amazing.
Finding out the guy on the cover is the final boss, and the chosen undead is even more amazing.
Its not underwhelming but it's not exactly das1 either. Then again I only got 1 ending. Bosses are a step down from Bloodborne but only slightly, feels really small. Hopefully the dlc will be a more satisfying end to the series.
>tfw really want to get into this franchise
>have vanilla Dark Souls on the 360
>enjoyed it, but fucked up and got Cursed in the Catacombs and haven't touched it since
>poorfag but also want to play Demons' Souls, Bloodborne, this, and maybe DS2 as well
>>332162071
>its impossible for someone to arrive at a logical conclusion on their own
>they MUST be memeing
>>332162119
>people praise the DLC
>get to shulva
>it's literally aids full of poison, infinite poise enemies, gimmick piece of shit ghosts and equipment breakage
>>332162073
No actually, Longbow is currently 1 dex away from being wieldable
>>332162204
This isnt the ending at all. The set on the cover is the Red Knight armor dumbass.
>>332162220
>feels really small.
Damn it, this was what I was most afraid of ever since I heard they had already planned DLC. BB was damn good but felt small and short as fuck, even with the DLC. Was really hoping they wouldn't go that path again with DaS.
Disappointed to hear that.
>>332162431
maybe you should get gooder
>>332162431
But that's fun, aside from the infinite poise enemies which is a main problem with das2.
>>332162431
Shulva was the least enjoyable DLC for me by far.
Best part was Sihns OST
>>332162431
Holy shit git gud, I never once got poisoned. To kill the ghosts all you have to do isdestroy their coffins.
Shulva was one of the best areas in the game, literally git gud.
>>332162431
>people said the dragon was hard
>it's literally sif 2.0
>had more trouble with the boss before it even though that shit was easy as fuck
Just slash the dick until it dies. The area design impressed me but everything else leaves me just wanting to fire up DaS1.
Xbone player here, have some opinions you never asked for.
>combat mechanicsBest in the series.The Weapon Arts are an extremely cool idea, and this is the closest From will EVER come to a balanced PvP.
>lore
It's passable. Better than the clusterfuck that DaS2 turned into, but it gets a bit annoying with the whole "HEY, GUYS, LOOK AT THIS """SUBTLE"""" REFERENCE TO DARK SOULS 1, PRETTY COOL RIGHT?"
>Level design
There are quite a few good levels. I miss the interconnectivity of DaS1, but at least most of the game doesn't take place in impossible space like DaS2. A lot of people draw parallels in the world's art assets to Bloodborne's, but I feel like that's a limitation of trying to make shit based on Western fantasy. There's only so much variation you can make, and while I wish they would flex that variation a bit more, it still works.
>Enemy design
Replace "interconnectivity" and "impossible spaces" with "sheer variety" and "countless bullshit mobs."
tl;dr DaS1 >= DaS 3 > Bloodborne > DeS > LotF > DaS2
My Dad works at From Software and even he said it's shit

I don't play these games but I'm thinking of getting into them. Does this game have any kind of "time-wasting" punishments? Like say, I lose to a boss and end up spawning at the start of the level, so I have to do the entire thing again.
What are punishments I should expect?
Grapes should stick together.
>>332163285
Your uncle molests you IRL every death.
>>332163310
Is there any way aside from XBone to play in english yet?
>>332163285
You die, you go to the last checkpoint (Bonfire) you sat at.
Generally its: Go through level > Find and unlock shortcut near boss > Die to boss > Try again through the shortcut
>>332163282
Nah, he really isn't. Every complaint you can make about DS2 you can make tenfold with Lords of the Fallen.
How quickly does the Mercenary's gear show up? I don't care for being a dexfag, but that armor is great and curved swords are pretty fun.
>>332163384
Be a really popular streamer? There isn't any other way.
People are saying that world design is just like bloodborne. Could you elaborate, please?
Is it like
Hub World > Portals to different linear branches
Or
World with interconnected levels > Hub World with portals as shortcuts to different locations in the world so you won't have to backtrack that much?
>>332163495
3rd area

Within the first few hours if you know where to look or get lucky like I did.

No. It's a great fucking game. DaS1 gameplay with little tweaks here and there mixed with Bloodborne level design. Shit's tight.

why would the pinwheel equivalent of ds3 be a combination of those things LOL
It's good. Just, does absolutely nothing new. Never felt the game needed a sequel, let alone 2.
>>332162943
D-don't you dare hype me anon. DS2 made me cautious as fuck of the "Souls" games.Never played BB so I don't care when they call 3 a rehash of BB
Since were are here, my cousin never played DaS1
Is it possible to do a coop run in that game like in DaS2?
I played it for like 300 hours when it came out, but besides Bulk&Skull and sometimes 4kings I never really summoned anyone.
>>332165489
If you still haven't played BB by the time you get Ds3 you might shit yourself.
You really need to get BB though, it's seriously like a breath of fresh air. It's just fantastic all around. My only complaint is it just doesn't feel as "complete" as Souls as it kind of lacks in Items, side quests, NPC questlines, optional areas/bosess etc (the DLC helps with this but still doesn't really bring it fully up to par)
But what it does have is top tier as fuck.
>>332165802
Also just answer me this since I want to avoid spoilers the folllowing weeks, Is Great Scythe moveset good here? Always wanted a update on it
Any whip weapons? And by that I mean that are fun to use like in BB, since DaS whips were shit
>>332165821
BB is a watered-down DaS. Much, much less diversity in terms of basically everything and its less punishing. Who needs shields when your rolls have iframes out the ass and don't consume any stamina?
>>332162003
Nigga, you have like 16 days, if you have a decent amount of free time each day you could very easily at least get through DaS1, and at least partway through DaSII
>>332162916
>it's literally sif 2.0
I didn't know Sif could fly and shoot toxic fireballs.
>>332166178
That was added in the dlc, only they were coloured fireballs to be more voidlike.
>>332159595
hello neogaf
>>332165960
I actually don't mind the lack of diversity. It feels more cohesive and focused in terms of both combat and level design. Enemies are balanced entirely around one style of play, meaning everything comes down to more skill and less what sort of build you're having, but you still have an interesting handful of varying weapons to build your character around. The areas are all similar thematically, but it's a damn good theme so there was never one place that I hated going through. Every area was still different enough to be interesting. All it needed was the same breadth of content as Souls.
is there a full weapon list already
>>332164849
That's a remarkably accurate description of Souls games. Also,

I hope the crack comes soon.

>>332167534
> durrr
Faggot.
It's good.
DS1=BB>DS3>DeS>>>>DS2
>>332168460
this is so far my impression aswell
however if you're looking for PvP DS3 might be the best in the series
>>332163285
like the other anon said, you'll be put back at the last bonfire, but it doesn't take more than a minute to get back to the boss as you can just head straight towards to the boss' location and run past all the enemies.
There isn't really any time-wasting punishments beyond losing your souls (currency you get from enemies, if you die they're dropped on the ground and you have to go pick them up again, if you die before you do those are lost forever)
Souls games aren't very punishing, you just need to take your time, be aware of your surroundings and naturally learn enemies' movesets (not something you consciously do, you'll just remember what kind of attacks they do and what to do in retaliation). People say the games are hard, but it's only because they rush through all gung-ho.

No idea if the man himself is back, but I'm pretty sure I has someone wearing part of his set (the torso) during a PvP stream

>DaSIII PvP
>best in the series
Have you watched the game at all?
Weapons do shit for damage (at least in the early game) and estus flasks are used so quickly that you have no time at all to punish so it makes it almost entirely a matter of who runs out of healing items first.
not even close, it's the best of the bunch and a fitting end to the series
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke3HWo8fTpE
Fucking love the OST.
at least they put thought in how the endings are got this time instead of the 2 endings most souls games have.
>>332169318

It's what Dark Souls 2 should have been. I just hope the DLC is as good
>>332165960
There's more combat diversity though, even within the limited play styles.
>>332168048
Sunlight covenant or something like it has been seen in some shots, no idea about the actual guy himself.
>>332168048
fuck memaire, I need more onion bros t b h f a m
muhfps
I am also really enjoying it. The weapon arts make combat fresh as fuck and the world design is really good.
That said, I really hope this is the last of the Souls franchise and From's next game goes in a different direction. They moved away from some of the Souls tropes with Bloodborne and it became my favorite game. They need to switch up the settings and atmosphere more.
Dark Souls 3 is really good but also very familiar if you're a series fan. The formula is wearing thin for me.
