Its great.
About 24 hours for a first playthrough if you aren't shit, add on a little for secret areas. Weapon arts for the most part are boring or do next to nothing. Bosses are all amazing maybe 1-2 duds based on what you like in a fight. This is the first Souls game where I think the difficulty actually ramps up instead of random spikes like O&S and Father Gascoigne cock blocking most new players.

If you haven't spoiled yourself yet I'm begging you to wait a little while longer for English+60fps its gonna be so worth it.

>>332379065
Its actually the hardest boss in the game, the broadsword does way too much damage and his AI has a huge exploit (he always does that overhead into the really slow weapon buff after half HP).

while bb weapons were hald of its predecessors their play ability and depth far outnumbered das and ds2. chaining combos in bb is unmatched. and the amount of joy you get from one single weapon is worth 5 generic halbreds, 4 generic big swords and 7 generic staffs (all weapons which have the exact same moves give or take very very few) you get in the previous games

up to grand archives; some good bosses, but also some REALLY bad ones

The game seems a bit more linear than the last few games, instead of being able to fight four of the lords at the start like DaS2, you can only fight three and the final one is set farther in the first area of the game, exactly like the archstones in DeS only everything is interconnected (outside of the Firelink Shrine). It has multiple optional areas and bosses though.

Is it worth buying the pass? I save like half a dollar with the bundle (fucking 5%?

I do like From a lot and have faith in them, I've just been uneasy because DaS2 left a disappointing feeling in me and I've mostly been avoiding spoilers for 3 so I just don't know a lot about the game's quality. But I've heard good things so far, and they DLCs of previous games have proven to be good, so I guess I'll take the risk and buy the pass as well.

I thought it was fine but still kind of not great.

I am struggling, it brings back so many of the elements I loved in past games as well as the things I disliked. I like Storm Ruler returning to make for a boss where you don't just stab it's feet. Along with full red eye orbs, wide variety of armour.

But then it brings back a poise system from Souls 2 that I still cannot even begin to understand. While I hated Havel's armour for the stagger resist, I think it's silly being stunlocked by dogs when wearing heavy armour. Then there's warping from the start and a horrible linear design. Some enemies behave like it's Bloodborne and have combo attacks consisting of far more moves than needed as well as some enemies clearly having an unfair amount of stamina like in Souls 2.

It also doesn't bring back things I liked such as the ability to be invaded while hollow and the fantastic sound design that's in Bloodborne is completely gone. It was very dull exploring some areas as so little noise was happening. And what is worst is how little character dialogue changes in the hub. It's the one aspect of Dark Souls I absolutely love.

I like it a lot, but it still sits in the shadow set by Dark Souls 1.

I definitely think nerfing poise was a smart choice but think the implementation was awful. Being able to withstand a hit from Gwyn should not be a thing, but neither should being hit by a 6 hit combo from 2 daggers stagger you infinitely. It' seems to favour people who have fast swinging swords and those who wear heavy armour as the powerarmour is more likely to aid them through a hit. As far as I can tell anyway.

I wish I fucking knew more specifics but am not that autistic to go through with the data finding.

I don't recall them saying a damn thing. I am avoiding the Nameless King zone until PC release is out as I want to save some new content.

The music can definitely be fitting for some, Dance of the Frigid Valley for example blends amazingly well with the type of boss and the arena.

It's pretty damn great.

Think of it as a stun bar similar to any other thing like poison, more poise > longer bar. When it fills up you get stunned. This is also the case when blocking with shields now.

No.
>>
>>332387668
are there more humanoids compared to das1?
>>
>>332387724
Dunno about BB but Souls always had the same ratio in every game. It's always a 60% humanoids to 40 "something else" in every Souls game, both enemies and bosses.
>>
>>332387613
It was mainly due to significantly reducing the difficulty of so many encounters in the game. Being hit by that fat ass sword should at least do something to offset your balance. Along with 20 estus, you could just chug your way through all battles without needing to worry about blocking/parrying.

But then that raises an issue in pvp where wielding a greatsword and heavy armour will make you ni-unkillable as you can break poise easily while also not being staggered as well as the high armour values. With the increased speed of combat in Souls 3, it doesn't make for proper balance.

It's just a mechanic I don't think has ever been implemented well. Which is odd as I don't ever remember being stunlocked in Demon's Souls as feeling unfair because that game never even had a poise stat to consider.

I'm sure I will begin to understand it eventually the more I play Das3, but as of right now across all armour equipment I have worn, I don't remember ever not being staggered when hit, unless it was during powerarmour phase.
>>
>>332387668
All the bosses are either a knight or a gimmick boss (most of which are actually good unlike pretty much every other one in the series) with like three exceptions. The difference between DaS3's knights and DaS2's knights is in the third game they actually have more attacks than just the three swings + an overhead with retarded tracking, they are all way more aggressive too and most have some sort of gimmick their own (most of which are good, and none are outright bad).
>>
>>332377195
>Is it the best Souls game or what?

Yes. It is the only souls game that has kept the improvements that were made in the other games.

Also both the PVP and PVE are fun, unlike Dark Souls 2 or Bloodborne.

The ember buff is justified when invaders can heal at the same speed as the host. They come in with full flasks and the host almost certainly has used at least a few.

Pyromancies are faith/int based. Not just to scale the damage, but to even meet the requirements for the majority of the spells.

Theres only a couple of pyromancies with no int/faith requirements and I think that's just basic fireballs.
