>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.

Obviously it isn't going to top bloodborne, you're comparing a new IP that did a bunch of new stuff to just another dark souls with reused assets. I wish they never started making more shit with dark souls in their name
I'ts definitely gonna be better than dark souls 2 though

>I'ts definitely gonna be better than dark souls 2 though
thats not saying much famtula.
but yeah it'll be good, even great.
>this thread again
Why are BBfags so insecure?
What does he mean by lacking complexity?
As in level design? Because from what I've seen the levels look fucking huge and incredibly complex. Undead Settlement is gigantic and has heaps of shortcuts and multiple paths to the same place. Judging by videos it looks like it tops Central Yharnam as the best map design in the series.

liek ur brain lmao

>thats not saying much famtula.
It says a lot for people who aren't hiveminded, easily influenced /v/irgins.
DS2 was an exceptional game. Just not up to par with the rest on a few pivotal aspects. Regardless if it was released first, people would've loved it and begged for more.
>>332512959
>DS2 was an exceptional game
yes, an exceptionally disappointing game
this is a direct copy and paste from the thread last night >>332408837
this is not allowed on /v/

>>332513123
>literal DELETE THIS
lol
>>332513039
Only in comparison to the rest and it still managed to pack more content in than any of it's predecessors. If people weren't so biased by nostalgia and it was released first, people would've gawked and shat their pants in amazement.
You spoiled late-millennials. Probably never even touched aRPGs like Baroque, Castlevania Lament of Innocence or Castlevania Curse of Darkness.
>>332513480
nah sorry. das2 is shit and if I played it before das1 I wouldn't wanna play any of the others.
>EDGE, the magazine that constantly published reviews and any information they could about Dark Souls 3, gave the game a 9/10 despite it being lacking
hmmm
>>332513480
It's shit, idiot
The bosses are not fun
Movement is awkward
and it focuses too much on being difficult for the sake of being difficult, Dark Souls 2 is a fucking boring mess
I got burnt out just playing BB, will this rekindle my love for the series again, or will it forever remainshrouded in darkness?

When will this meme end?

>>The review does not discuss the game's performance or its online mechanics.
Shill confirmed
>>332513802
a lot later than this 'calling das2 shit is a meme' meme :^]
Sony always wins baby
Look another thread for sonyponies to shill how BB was better even though it was a comparatively weak Souls game
Ban me, mock me, I don't know what else I can do so I'm doing this, take my entire inventory if you want.

>we will never get a cool ass world that interconnects as well as DaS does ever again
it was my favourite parton a side note to anyone who's played DS3, when do you get the Scythe?
>>332514061
How about getting a job?
>>332514061
Sanders voters everyone
>>332514124
I liked that aspect of DaS1 a lot as well, although I never played DeS so maybe a less interconnected world will be a refreshing mix up.
>>332511782
> muh difficulty
Normie Souls confirmed?
>>332514124
wait, this one isn't interconnected like DS1?
>>332514404
I haven't played it yet but I heard it wasn't
>>332514124
You find the scythe in the second area
>>332514340
I've played Dark Souls for a total of 500 hours and I can tell you that it's not hard in the slightest, all you have to do is get really good at the game and it's piss easy
>>332514525
What the fuck, isn't DS2 interconnected?
Well damn, might not get it after all.
Dark Souls 2 got 9/10s across the board too but that didn't stop the /v/ memesters hating on it for completely retarded reasons.
>>332514615
All the areas are connected with a separate world as hub, like BB
>>332513802
I do agree, Dark Souls 2 gets more flak then it ought to.
It still isn't shit compared to DeS, DS, or BB, but a good game nonetheless.

What a surprise, we all know how trustworthy such sites are and would never give high review scores to games that don't deserve them...
I would rather believe some nigger on /v/ about anything he says about the game than games journalism
>>332514785
>for completely retarded reasons.
Fuck off.
>>332512959
>DaS2 was a exceptional game.
No it wasn't it was barely mediocre. The only people who say this are memers themselves.
>Bad level design
>Bad lore
>Bad bosses outside of like 2 and the DLC
>Shit like rolls tied to a stat
>Fucking terrible lighting
How is it good? Because of build variety? I sure like rolling around in a box of shit with different colors yep.
I played DaS2 before i played the others because i was given it as a gift and i thought it was fucking terrible for all these reasons even before playing the others. No comparison just a outright fucking bland pointless game. I guess the music was great though but its japanese and they always do that.
>>332512959
Rehashing your game so its not shit is not pivotal. The first release of ds2 sucked and they tried fixing it by adding dlc. The whole process to make this not so good title equal to the other souls title was a joke on its own. They fucked up and now they're fixing their mistake. Albeit a little to nostalgia aimed. But ill take that above ds2 any day.
>>332514785
Retarded reasons? They had to remake their game so it would actually be descent no other souls title has done that or had the need to do so. Wanna know why? Because they weren't shit
