They're all good (minus DkS2), just depends on what you get out of a souls game. DkS 3 takes all the best parts from DkS1, BB and DeS, the shit it takes from Dks 2 is so forced and awful but it doest really affect anything

Demon's Souls 8/10 initial playthrough 9/10 in replay***
Dark Souls 1 9/10
Dark Souls II 7/10
Bloodborne 8/10

***I was very bad at Demon's souls on release. Me and my buddies all played together taking turns after deaths. I couldn't get past 4-3 on my initial playthrough and quit out of frustration. I picked up Dark Souls and beat it and then replayed and beat Demon's Souls right after Dark.

While that looks cool and all, this is exactly what I'm afraid of in ds3. Too many weapons with over the top move sets. Sure there were a few in ds1 that were real neat and all but they were ultimately gimmicky and pointless and I preferred (and the community at large) the weapons with more of a traditional move set.

It's getting a bit too anime for my tastes hopefully I won't be handicapping myself if I choose to not use them.

BB>DS1>DS3>DS2SotFS>DeS(gimmick bosses ruin an otherwise great game)>DS2

BB is their most complete game, has ass pvp and its major flaws were addressed with some amazing dlc.

DS1 had a fantastic setting, world, characters and good gameplay while having okay pvp, but it peters out after the lordvessel.

DS3 plays the best out of the souls series, but leans incredibly hard on its previous two games so almost nothing feels original or innovative save a few bosses. Music is top notch and the jury is out on pvp until full release. Its disappointing to have the final game revolve around the first so much with all its half-assed handwaving excuses for why DS1 keeps showing up.

DS2 SotFC had the best pvp in the series but the worst overall content, DLC and SotFC fixed a few of these issues enough to give it a pass.

DeS has a fantastic world, setting and characters but the gameplay is rough(to be expected), pvp was ass(grass) and most of the bosses are gimmicks(Dragon god is by far the most disappointing boss ever)

DS2 vanilla had good pvp and thats about it. Terrible world design, lore was ass, half the areas are bonfire filled corridors.

Dark Souls 3 might be better than Bloodborne once the DLC is out and it has more meat on it's bones. As it currently stands, Bloodborne is the more interesting game.

Dark Souls 3 is the best Souls game released currently though. Bloodborne + it's DLC just edges it out though.

>>332471880
It's an excellent game on par with Dark Souls 3 if not still better than it without the DLC. Purely because it's entirely new new new shit from start to finish. The other games have all been lifting from Demon's or Dark since.

Bloodborne + DLC, with it's massive weapon movesets on the trick weapons, it's very dense lore and story and world building, the chalice dungeon stuff, it's a bigger game.

DaS3 I've pretty much done everything already with the JP version. Leveled up every covenant, finishing up my Luck build now.

There's alot less mystery involved with this one imo.

DS3 is the Greatest hits version of a souls game. In my playthrough for everything new there were a dozen things from previous games. This game has no identity on its own and that's an incredible disappointment when you stack it up against the other games in the series.

From is amazing at building a setting and expanding it if its all new. They are the top of the fucking list.

But they are the absolute fucking worst if they don't do so, they rehash and pander harder than most.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to look back on this one as the fun one to play but overall a disappointing way to end it.

>>332472703
I think the bosses and the overall story holds it together. They're all very new and unique, I was expecting alot of actual boss rehashes, when really, there aren't any. They might be "thematically" similar, but alot of the "rehashing" is just returning stuff, which I'm fine with.

But I do wish there was just more of it of it's own, but then again, I'm playing JP and can't read any lore, so that's also making the game feel alot more "vacant" to me. I'm sure when I play the full english version things will have more context and life.

I agree that the bosses are the highlight and a few of them stand head and shoulder above most souls bosses. But I am on the other side of the spectrum here, BB being all new shit was amazing to me and I enjoy that creativity. I played through the Xbone version and the text only further enforces my point, thats where the DS1 pandering lies, in the descriptions. Outside of a few about the area or the boss most of them reference shit from the earlier games.

I'm sure this wont' be the last time you hear of this, in fact I expect this to be the biggest thing shitposters target when the game releases. If any souls game is worthy of being called a rehash its this one. I still really enjoyed it, but the criticism is valid.

Did they fucking really make the game easier for goddamned US release? I'm so fucking tired of this shit.

Translations get fucked up, games get "culturized", Publisher refuse to release games in the West completely, the media tears games apart for not being friendly to XYZ demographics, and now I learn they're making them easier again like it's the fucking 90's and American audiences won't feel "put out" at having to actually play the game.

Just fucking sub it and ship it, Jesus Christ I don't want a "localization", I'll pay the tariff. I'll pay more than that if they need royalties for the JAP audio track, I'll buy a fucking $70 game plus tarrif just so no middle men can fuck with it.

Now clearly you havent done your research because you didnt know about the DS3 press release, but that comment is also untrue. 50% of games brought to the west were made easier. But the other 50% of the time, the jap version was made easier. You can easily google to see for yourself.

Some german site reported the 770 runs the game at 60fps maxed, 760 runs it maxed at 40-45. There's not much difference between the different settings and there's no drivers for the game yet though. It was not the final version as well.

DKS 3 > Dark Souls > Bloodborne > Dark Souls 2 > Demon's Souls

Dark Souls 3 is the game 2 should have been. Unfortunately people are tired of the series, and with the absolute tv tropes level critic kiddies around here crying about pandering and fanservice, the game will be shit posted into oblivion. But it's to be expected.

Dark Souls 3 plays the best out of all of them. It'd be on par with Booldborne but BB has some seriously bad frame drops and hit boxes in certain areas/situations.

Ultimately it's going to come down to what you want from a Souls game. I play Souls for the environments. I like going on a journey and seeing what From can create for their worlds. It's due to this I don't care for Demon's Souls or Bloodborne. Bloodborne was samey and grimdark, Demon's Souls was bleak and uninteresting.

Dark Souls 1 had me going from Undead Parish standard fantasy to Darkroot Garden. From the depths to the Crystal Caves. From the magma of Demon Ruins to the mystery of Ash lake. I like diversity of environments, and BB just lacked that. I got tired of Yharnam.

The game is dripping in content from Dark Souls 1. If that bothers you, then that's unfortunate. But the game feels like Demon's Souls and Bloodborne in terms of how it plays.

It'll be remembered as a solid Souls game, and fine conclusion to the series once the DLC comes around.
>>
>I got tired of Yharnam.

Then go to Cainhurt's, explore the beaches/villages of the DLC. Explore the hospital even. What else... visit the Nightmare of Mensis; Hypogean Gaol was pretty cool.
>>
>>332476140
the 770 does not keep a solid 60 fps, infact no gpu does, not even totalbiscuits rig.

the game just has some unoptimised areas that will drop your fps. You will for the most part maintain 60 fps, but it will drop.

When I say 960 runs at 30-60 fps, it will be nearer 60 for the majority of the time, only so often dipping down to 30 when it hits a laggy area.
>>
>>332464787
>People who have played it

>>
>>332476672
Here's the thing though, people are absolutely going to shitpost about how it panders and rehashes. But the shitty part is that its true. DS3 is a ham-fisted approach to a typical From game. That argument is valid.

And it sucks dick that eventually people will stop talking about how well it plays or how the areas are designed well and most of the bosses are great. Ultimately none of that will ring true over the low-hanging fruit that is the pandering in this game.

I really really enjoy DS3 and having beaten it I cannot wait for the DLC, but the picture is already painted on this games future, From got lazy and it will mar a great game.

I want to believe that this game is good, of course i haven't played it myself so my opinion is formed purely out of what i've seen(i've seen the game from the start to the end boss).

However,
There's so much fan service that the game barely has anything original.
Bosses seem to be way too easy aswell(i know they said they were gonna make everything harder) and most of them are yet again rehashed.
There doesn't seem to be that many interesting areas either, it's all fucking roofs and there's not much area diversity like in the previous souls games.
PvP looks fine, although it seems to be extremely laggy right now.

If you got something that makes this game look great, shoot, i really wanna have hope for it.
I want an honest, non shitpost, non faglord opinion.
>>
>>332477746
No, in retrospect it can look nice, and for all I know it may, but to me it just adds addtional shadows to player models and prop models, which tanks my frames and hardly adds much graphical detail.

But like I said, I could be completely wrong with this game.
>>
>>332477436
>le pandering meme
It's a fucking SEQUEL. Having elements from previous games isn't pandering.
>>
>>332477436
I don't really think that's entirely true, though.

Most of the game is flipping the tropes on Dark Souls 1. Siegwards quest is like that. The fact that you're going down from Lothric this time instead of up from Sens Fortress.

The only thing I would call pandering is Havel showing up, and the other armor making appearances. Patches is in every game, so that's mute. But I can already hear people bitching about Dragonslayer Armor, but it's nothing like the copy and paste job from DKS 2. This game is 3, but FROM is clearly treating it like the official second part of the series. It barely references Dark Souls 2 at all.

Oh, one other thing I forgot. This game has tons of good characters. It absolutely bends Bloodborne over in that department. That was one of the most disappointing things about BB.
>>
Des>das>>>bloodborne>>>dark souls 3>dark souls 2

>>332464787
For it is:

DaS3 > DaS1 > DeS > BB > DaS2

Dark 3 not only has a great PVE, but the PVP is back to its former Dark Souls 1 glory. The weapons arts are pretty cool since it gives even normal weapons interesting movesets.

Also IMO Nameles King is the best boss in the franchise. I can't wait to see what they are going to do with the DLCs.
>>
>>332478035
It is when the justification for those things appearing is flimsy. DS1 is the furthest removed from the timeline yet here it is in promonent display over DS2. Item descriptions mention DS1 things by name, armor sets, weapons, older bosses. All of that shows up for no other reason than to wink and nod at the player. Aldritch is the biggest example of this.

But the rehashing doesn't end there, the asset reuse from Bloodborne is staggering. Entire areas are ripped, chalice dungeon tilesets wholesale, lower lothric is practically hemwick complete with gravestones. Half the enemies in those areas are reskins of yharnam residents, bowl carrying fucks do the attack animations of the brain-ward mushy fucks in the BB dlc. Those cross bearing dudes in the swamp are a reskinned Gascoigne beast mode with their swings. Hell that phantom beast on the bridge to Illtyhil is a reskinned Watchdog from the chalices.

This game is lazy, no two ways of getting around it.

The areas are still very well designed and there's lot of weapon and armor variety due to the "rehashing".

The only thing that i don't particulary care for are the NPCs like Andre being used again. Other than that Dark Souls 3 "rehashes" stuff very well.

This is a bunch of non issues though. The point of a sequel is to take what happened in previous games and expand on it. Which is what DaS3 did.

>>332479263
>armors that exist in the universe is rehashing
Oh, please. Is every sequel a rehash now? Better have that than the laughable amount of armor in Bloodborne.
>>
>>332479528
>Who gives a fuck
A lot of people will, myself included. DS3 has no identity in the series, it doesn't stand on its own legs. Its an extremely poor showing after Bloodborne.

Here's the worst part though, I'm rational. We can have a discussion about this and I'll still respect your opinion that you don't mind. But in the future there will be no discussion, it will be shitposting and there won't be logic behind it.

Its absolutely fine you feel the way you do, but this statement won't fade. Its going to absolutely explode in two weeks and it will never stop being parroted because From took the lazy way out with their final souls game.

Using the excuse of rehashing assets is just as lazy as the claim itself.

This notion that companies must innovate and create ALL new things... in a fucking sequel... I have no words. This is part of why budgets are the size of fucking blue whales. But honestly, if you want new shit all the time, then that's what you want.

In the end though, the thing that is really going to trigger me is all the criticism the final boss is going to get. I can hear them now.

> it's fanservice
> it's pandering
> it's fanfiction tier shit

All completely missing the point. The boss is supposed to represent YOU the player. Especially in the first portion. Dark Souls is not like other video games. There is no direct story given to you. There is no Geralt of Rivia, Solid Snake, Adam Jensen, or whatever. The story isn't presented, you have to figure it out yourself. YOU invest yourself in it, should you choose.

When the boss throws a Lightning spear at you, that's your faith build you used to link the fire. When he uses a spell, same thing. When he uses pyromancy, that's my character. It's all about you and the journey you made. It's giving you an image of the time you invested in the first game. Then in the end, it's Gwyn's moveset because he linked the fire and started it all. Games are about interactivity. That's what separates them from other mediums. The final boss of this game acknowledges what we've done as players.

But old armors are there so it's a lazy rehash.

>Completely ignoring the rampant asset reuse examples and jumping right to the final boss unprovoked to claim to have a point.
You cannot keep a straight face and defend the ripped assets from bloodborne.

I think the final boss is fanservice and pandering done right, its what we always wanted and they delivered btw. Some of its done well in the game, most of it is delivered poorly.

Also don't act like they couldn't innovate or that they didn't have a budget for this game, are you fucking kidding me?
>>
>>332479982
I'd drop Dark Souls 1 to 9/10 as well, but other than that I agree famalam.

Dark Souls 3 is the best game From has made, it's perfect and I can't wait for DLC after seeing how fucking good The Old Hunters was.

>>332479816
>A lot of people will, myself included. DS3 has no identity in the series, it doesn't stand on its own legs.

I beg to differ. The game is a great send off, and IMO it will probably be considered the best souls game by the fans.

> Its an extremely poor showing after Bloodborne.

Once again i beg to differ. Both Dark Souls 2 and Bloodborne failed to live up to the greatness of Dark 1.

Bloodborne in particular was a great dissapointment after how much people hyped up the "a-team" over the "b-team".

>Its going to absolutely explode in two weeks and it will never stop being parroted because From took the lazy way out with their final souls game.

For a rational person you sure are making a wild prediction here based on nothing.

The people who have actually played the game (both here and on twitch for example) seem to love it.

>>332478701
those areas already made more than 1 appearance in souls games, is it so hard to add something new? here, even i got something - underground tunnel labyrinth - easy.
and bosses are way too similar to previous games :
aldrich, yohrm,the yet another duo(which i have to admint, they made the fight fair, hard yet also interesting),abyss watchers.
Some giant only using his upper body, Pinwheel mage 2.0, yet another gazillion weak units as one boss.
I mean the game does look nice, and has a dark souls feel to it, but there's barely any original ideas.

>>332480359
Guess time will tell then, we got 2 weeks.
Also you mistake my criticism for not enjoying it. I think its a great game but in terms of lore and its asset reuse its disappointing.

How is armor in a sequal to a game considered old when it is established as a commonly used set within its setting.

Thats like saying pip-boys in fallout 4 are "old equipment"
>>
>>332480230
I don't see why it needs defending?

I only played BB twice at a friends house. Once when it launched, then another playthrough when Old Hunters came. Having one enemy swing at me a certain way doesn't get under my skin. Though, in fairness, I suppose if seeing it again 4 or 5 more times gets to you, then it's understandable. Just I don't particularly care.

People wanted something fresh, so they got it with Bloodborne. Here's the thing though. Bloodborne wasn't fresh. It WAS a decent twist on Lovecraft though, but only in the first section. Lovecraft is common now in games. Where it isn't a central theme, it's in a quest, or used in reference to something else. Eldritch abominations or extra dimensional creatures are hardly surprising. The twist was that this stuff is usually done by isolated cults. BB had it being done as a central religion, so that was neat. But then they copy pasted literally Innsmouth as the fishing hamlet, and that was super disappointing.

I just don't see what would have been achieved through innovating, and again, I don't think BB did nearly enough to garner the praise it gets.

>>332480495
Abyss Watchers attack each other. Is there even a boss in the series that's like that?
Aldritch is like a combination of three bosses, I also don't recall any boss like that.
There's also boss phases, one of the best things out of Bloodborne.
>>
>>332480707
I was being ironic, friend
>>
>>332481163
There were boss phases before Bloodborne. They just weren't as clearly telegraphed.

Ornstein and Smough had a stage where it changes. Manus had one as well. Once you get him to around half he starts going crazy with Dark Magic.
