I agree it's an amazing game. That said, the covenants are shit. There is no reason to have way of the blue, blue senitals and the darkmoons. I also hate how streamlined they are. The covenants in DS felt like they were apart of the game, but now they're just pvp options.

Yep. I've been playing the japanese version and talking in /dsg/. I take it you haven't played it yet, but if you want to spoil yourself there's plenty of people who are playing the english version on xbox.

The covenants aren't good. The pvp is fun, but covenants should be more than an itemslot to determine your pvp allegiance.

Fucking this is what I wanted, I loved playing the Souls games and going through areas finding invisible walls and shit like that, even finishing the game and finsing something on another playthrough you had no idea about.

Bloodborne lost that and fuck me was I disappointed, felt linear as fuck.

I haven't picked the game up yet (pleb waiting for NA release) but all the maps look the same from what i see in pictures. My main criticism with BB was that all the maps felt the same.

DaS and DaS2 were colourful and had variety. Is that really all there is to DaS3? Just dark castle here, grey village there?

I just want to know is how many truly dark areas there are. I love being required to use a Torch.

Also, lighting all of the flames sitting around the Da2 world was remarkably satisfying to my OCD.

Artificial difficulty is a buzz word for people who are shit at the game and try to make themselves feel better about being shit by blaming it on the game.

I prefer only vague allusions. By being intentionally non committal, they allow previous installments to stand on their own. People will naturally construct their own ideal of the previous story. By being a blatant sequel they trample on everyone's headcanon, which is a key part of being an RPG.
Not to say being a clear cut sequel is bad, but I prefer a series of stand alone games with consistent design and presentation to a series of direct sequels with a closed plot.

The whole point of a trap is to get you unexpectedly, if they highlighted them they wouldn't function.

Are there any new weapons and armor or is everything in the game just rehashed from 1 and 2?

>>332297081
I've heard that as well but there were several areas I struggled with regardless.
>>332297053
The entire game is fanservice to DaS 1 fans. Several areas and characters that will definitely ignite some nostalgia if you enjoyed DaS.

Dancer of the Boreal Valley Set is close to Ciaran's. The armor design is just generally better than 2's in every way. Artorias/Ornstein/Smough sets are back too

Favorite bosses: Farron's Undead Legion/Yhorm the Giant/Nameless King
Favorite theme: Vordt of the Boreal Valley

It really didn't. Covenants could've been interesting, but they were all PvP centric and almost all of them didn't work or weren't interesting in the first place. It was an unnecessary step for online play and only fragmented an already small community.

I think the Pilgrims of the Dark Covenant was a neat balance. It had a PvP and PvE aspect to it.

Lore-wise it was interesting, too.

Getting good doesn't really have much to do with it, it means you have to learn the animations of enemies 2+ seconds in advance. It constantly puts me on edge and pisses me off

>>332296961
I wouldnt call it 10/10. The enemy variety is lame and the game follows the same principle of "bigger mobs =difficulty" again. Maybe Im just bored of the gameplay now, its the same as before but in a different environment, BB mustve been an anomyly because I thoroughly enjoyed it and want more of it but didnt want more of DaS3. Its what DaS2 shouldve been, take from that what you will.
Solid 7/10

Wait till the pvp scene comes in or you get around to making gimmick characters and builds, theres even more variety this time. Which will boil down to the meta builds again as always.

I really enjoyed the environments more than anything. I love castles and this game was pretty much 80% castle porn so perhaps I'm a little biased. I loved a majority of the bosses though and I can't say that about DaS 2.

Yea the bosses were pretty neat, lots of memorable ones, as for the environments, if people are expecting wierd interesting designs they are going to be sorely dissapointed, all different flavours of castles with knights and undead within, and thats pretty much it with a few variants here and there. Again, the pvp scene and gimmick builds will be great this time around, im more interested in making an archer only build and actually being completely viable, even if its just for PvE.

Yes the english xbox version is toned down. It's using the pres version since it hasn't been updated for actual release, so enemies do less damage. When the english version is actually released, it will be the same as ps4.

>>332297183
dual wield weapons are only dual-wielded when you try to two-hand them. You can switch between dual wielding and using one and an offhand weapon.

Aldia was hardly secret, You unlocked him if you played the game normally anyway

I know you're baiting but the only reason 2's reviews were so high is because Dark Souls popularity was at an all time high. The same shit stains that shat on Demon's Souls were praising Dark Souls 2 despite it clearly being a worse game(I say this as someone who loves Dark Souls 2).

Dark Souls 3 will probably get lower scores than 2 because 'people are getting sick of Souls games' or some similar arbitrary reasons. Meanwhile they'll be giving Assassins Creed 29 or Call of Duty Black Cocks 50 easy 9.5+'s.

This

It's easily the best game in the franchise to date. It is the dramatic step forward that series needed. Dark Souls III is as much of a leap as Dark Souls was from Demon's Souls. It's ditched all the painful missteps that so marred the previous games and instead make some serious improvements, now it plays better than ever.

I am glad the series is finally back on track after the mediocrity of Dark Souls II and Bloodborne.

No I get it. For me, it's that there's no middle ground, if the enemy attacks slowly, like the hollows in the forest of giants, they take forever to do so. If the attack fast you best have 20/20 vision, lightning fir blood and a neural link to the game, fucking alonne knights.

>falls to pieces
Eh, he wanted to figure out how to get out of the cycle, and he sort of did. To me, yes you're right about being a flaming pile of shit, but that's outside perspective, he never so much as hints he wants to go back to being human, and think off all the things he will learn. I see Aldia as a lich, not like he liked people anyway.
