>From Software's upcoming action-RPG Dark Souls 3 has scored 9/10 in the first UK review.

>Reviewed in the latest issue of EDGE, the PS4 version was praised by the reviewer for its "will-sappingly difficult" boss fights and "tightly designed" areas, but was criticised for its familiarity during the opening third.

>The game's "astonishingly handsome" world also "lacks a little of the complexity of Miyazaki and From [Software] at their best", the review states, buts its boss fights are "set in beautiful arenas and soundtracked by the finest Souls music to date".

>"With Dark Souls 3, Miyazaki has ensured his studio's reputation remains intact, and delivered on our expectations," the review says, "albeit a little too closely at times."

>The review does not discuss the game's performance or its online mechanics.

>Burns criticised Dark Souls 3 over similar issues during his preview earlier this month, of course, stating that "between the familiarity and (what appears to be) re-used assets there's a huge sense of deja vu here".

>He concluded: "The genius of Miyazaki's work is how the whole comes together, the interplay between world-building and exploration, how its lore is used for dreamlike revelations rather than lucid exposition. The issue so far is that we've had this dream before. Miyazaki has the problem everyone else has. He's got to follow Bloodborne."

Edge gave Bloodborne a 10/10. Looks like Bloodborne is the better game.

The weapon arts don't come close to expanding the movesets the way Bloodborne's weapons did. Also it amazes me how often I would see Chalice dungeon section from BB used as a template for areas. Clearly the game was rushed thanks to being developed along side BB. The reused elements in both level design (all of Latria is used) and even boss design (see nostalgia phase of final boss) shows that either Miyazaki was running out of steam, or didn't want to release a Dark Souls game with little content like Bloodborne.

You want to know when I realized reviews were worthless?

When Dear Ester got universally praised.

It's a fucking walking simulator.

Dark Souls 3 will never be able to live up to my expecations. I'm a long running fan of the series, and imported Demon's Souls because I thought it wouldn't make it stateside.

I think honestly, the series is just losing it's luster. Demon's was incredible, and Dark Souls followed suit. Everything else has had some element that was lacking. Dark Souls 2 just felt off on everything from level design (mostly because of bonfire warp basically making level design worthless) to feeling floaty and bad, it also looks fucking horrible. Bloodborne was a bit of a return to form, but without the DLC it was severely lacking in content, and even with the DLC (60+20 = 80 bucks) it wasn't on the level of Dark Souls or Demon's Souls content wise.

Dark Souls 3 from the very little I've seen looks -better- but I think a lot of it isn't sitting well with me. I don't like the NPC's returning, and an absolute shitload of it looks straight up ripped from Bloodborne, not that that is really surprising.

Demon's has issues for sure, mostly by being unrefined. I replayed it and you need an absolutely disgusting amount of upgrade materials for most weapons. To upgrade a Purple Flame Shield to +10 you literally need like 100 hardstone shards, a bunch of other shit and 2 pure hardstone. World tendency and Character tendency are a bit strange and again, unrefined.

But it wouldn't be fair to judge Demon's on the same criteria. Demon's was an experiment. There was literally nothing else like it at the time. Dark Souls pretty much refined everything from Demon's -except- having a really lackluster final half with bad Lords Souls bosses and awkward levels.

I own a PS4 as well, that's not he point.

If somebody has played BB and can't see how the video below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EH3-cXIDYI
is straight up Hemwick he's got severe brain problems. Especially right at the start before going through the gate (even the birds fly off and make the same noises, just as they do in bb). That's the most obvious copy paste but it doesn't stop there. Dark Souls 3's Bloodborne-influenced aesthetic is obvious everywhere. World design, building architecture, the enemies themselves, etc. srs if you can't see it then you have severe brain problems.

What, do you want a timestamp or something?

You're letting its actual flaws fly by you because it started the series. Logic like that is beyond retarded. The flaws still exist and still hurt the experience even if it was the first one.
If a game has a bad mechanic or a bad boss, its not made better by the fact that it was the first of its kind.

Bloodborne will be better from an artistic standpoint but Dark Souls 3 will be better in terms of gameplay.

I think I'll just wait for BB2.

It also has shit all for armor variety, a piss-poor excuse for 'magic,' set main-hand and off-hand weapons instead of freeform wielding, 1 level of roll + the 'nothin personnel' modifier, shitty 'no skill, no risk' parries, and more. The only kind of cool thing to come out of it are runes and weapon gems, which are just alternate versions of rings and weapon upgrade paths.

Ive played both, BB was better to me but just because it was different I reckon, for me personally I think im done with DaS, DaS3 is the same thing youve played before, if youve grown tired of the gameplay yourself, DaS3 is nothing new and wont challenge you in any way, its simply what DaS2 shouldve been if it hadnt existed. BB was different at least, I want another BB game before I want another DaS game now, its been good but theres only so many times you can play the same game before you get tired of it.

Thats perfectly fine m8, the game was just fine. But if people are expecting a real game changer this isnt it, its the same game youve played before in a different area, its no longer a hard game even because youve mastered the mechanics of the series.
Lots of build variety this time though, fully intend to make a few gimmick characters and run through the game. If thats your thing youll love it.

I played both. The game is good but because its the same shit Ive played in 3 previous titles, I just cant bring myself to put it above BB.

It honestly baffles me how anyone could claim that BB without the DLC is a 10/10.

The weapon variety was awful, with samey, brown/grey weapons, the armour was pointless, the areas after amelia were mostly unfun trudges, the late game bosses are so disappointing it hurts, the chalice dungeons were tedious areas like yahar'gul, byrgenwerth, nightmare frontier, castle cainhurst, nightmare of mensis, charnel lane and forbidden woods were dragged down by shit bosses and//or unrewarding, boring and long area design.

Without the DLC BB is just kind of shit

I can beat Ludwig reliably every time now even on NG+, feels fucking good. maybe one death tops but usually i first try him. kos' second form is still a bit iffy for me though, get close but it still feels a bit lucky rather than solid. last time i fought him he took 3 or 4 tires.
