It alredy is.
Game has the best PvP, level design, boss fights and OST in the series
You conveniently left out the part about how everyone who's played says its easily one of the best souls games and possibly on par with DaS1.
Also theres 19 bosses and it takes around 30 hours to 100% for the average skilled player

>>332697435
I think early streamers killed people's hype. They should have had a worldwide simultaneous release, creates a much bigger bang. Like this the mystery dies in a huge way and people don't care as much. Note I didn't spoil it for myself entirely but I did see bits and pieces here and there (and inevitable /v/ spoilers) so that detracts from the first time playthrough.
>>332696918
Same here. The game's great even with all its glaring flaws.
>>332698036
Pretty much this
>Only 18 bosses
All of which are original this time around, as opposed to Recycled Souls 2
>Rehashes out the ass
Define rehashes. 1 returning area (Anor Londo) which is entirely in ruins and practically a new version of it? The 2 whole returning characters (Patches and Andre)? Or the loads of returning armor similar to how Dark Souls 2 recycled old armors as if it was a bad thing?
>Maybe like 7 new armor or weapons
Untrue as fuck. There's loads of new armors and weapons.
>only 20 hours long
If you rush it like a sperg. My first DS1 run took 35 hours. Every run after took around 15 hours if I wasn't collecting everything and just speeding through.
>PvP is shit
Souls PvP was always shit. What did you expect?
>weapon arts are literally useless and forgettable. they add nothing new
Except new movesets, some of which can guardbreak and knock down opponents for a riposte, or just outright do massive damage or helpful things if learned correctly, faggotlord.
>the ending is a straight copy pasta from DS1
There's 3 endings, one of which has 2 variations. Of course 2 are going to be similar to the previous ones because "cycles."
>Literally 6/10 at best game
According to you. Game isn't out yet for another 2 weeks, fagalodon.

DS1 had 3 of the same boss. A lot of bosses were also pretty easy.
DS2 was like, 75% recycled bosses, offset by throwing numbers at you.
DS3 may have less but at least they're more original this time around, and look exciting as fuck.

Why is DaSIII's story progression bad just because it's linear? The levels are huge and so much better than the previous games.
>>332695793
Just buy the season pass please. It will be grate, promise!
Will make up for everything until 2018.
[/irony]
>>332701320
Because it means no replaybility or choice.
DaS had so much value/fun because you could try new builds and go through the game differently. Picking the order you played it in.
You're locked into one route in DaS3. If you do the only 'skip' by fighting Dancer early you're still forced on that linear route.
>>332695793
It genuinely feels like a game they shat out to finish their contract with Namco
>>332701168
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EgLB1_FXqg
>>332701609
Some of the most replayable games of all time are linear, linearity doesn't equal bad or non replayable. I'd much rather have a highly linear game than the second half of DaS1 (or any of DaS2).
>>332701609
But you have PvP, co-op, random invasions-- I don't see how DaSIII linearity hampers its replayability at all, especially since you can actually easily do online without having to rely on arenas and SM shit like DaSII, and the covenants actually work unlike DaSI.
>>332695793
Holy fuck they're 18 bosses?? holy shit i'm hype.
>maybe

Who is the level up waifu this time? Is she fucking cute?
Lol. Muh linearity.
You faggots are so retarded. It's a good game. Linear or not. If something that smalls rustles your jimmies, go play hello kitty adventure island you fucking cucks.
Save real games for the big boys. And argue about something worth arguing.
If you really think any of the souls games are bad, then you are a casual.
>>332698576
>I lose the argument the post.
it's better than Dark Souls 2
Is it a Blunder or are you just burnt out on Souls?
The problem is Dark Souls 3 doesn't do anything new but it does make references to every game in the franchise, including Bloodborne. It's just the same ideas reused with some slight variations.
You get the impression From didn't want to do this and only finished it out of obligation to their contract with Namco.
>>332702670
:^)
Game took ~45 hours to beat blind with exploration and side areas. Games an honest 9/10 from someones whose been playing since Demon Souls.
>>332700935
It works much better from a design and balance standpoint, you people are retarded.
>Several combinations yield infinites.
>Have to nerf hitstun on various off-hand weapons to make them viable.
>After 1-2 balance patches dual-wielding is garbage.
>Certain weapons are only viable in dual-wield and are now completely garbage in every scenario.
>All because of some tiny fraction of the thousands of possible combinations yielded a few infinites.
Impossible to balance all the combinations (keep in mind there is varying swing speed on weapons within a shared class).

Playing this has made me realize I am tired of souls, but only the Dark souls universe. Bloodborne, Dark souls 1, Demon's souls. All three of those are incredibly enjoyable because they are new worlds, with new characters, weapons, armors, and lore.
Despite all the shitposting about Bloodborne it was a breath of fresh air into the genre when DS2 was already making it stale.
DS3 is a fairly proper send-off to the series, they basically treated it like a greatest hits version of the game. But unfortunately they also got lazy, the Bloodborne asset reuse is a real shame, they've proven they can do better, going back on that just makes this game exactly what people always feared, a rehashed cash grab that can be likened to Assassins creed or CoD in terms of releases.

Altough i still enjoy the series, they won't cut it for me after DaS3 if they keep the same themes and mechanics.
At this point i'd rather see them trying something new and fail than to get more of the same formula. Same will never be as good as it once was.

Are you me? Literally the same on all accounts but I beat it in 40 and still have to do Smouldering Lake.
I'm going to buy this, but I'm going in with low expectations. If I don't like this one, I'll quit getting Souls games forever.
>>332707303
Smouldering lakes a good area, when you get into the labyrinth part hit any wall that doesn't look right, theres alot of illusorys with some good shit behind them.

>>332708140
A majority of posters in DS3 threads don't have it yet from what Ive seen

>>332708380
>"playing this" literally first two words of the post
/v/ had a lot of avid discussion about DeS before it hit the west because so many imported the game. It's not uncommon for people to do for games that lack story.
>>332696603
>Getting this mad
It'll be alright little guy. Don't let anonymous strangers on the internet get you so fanny flustered.
Sounds like they went and made a tight, well-designed game like demons souls rather than an over-long, bloated turd like dark souls 2.

>I'll quit getting Souls games forever
Don't worry, Miyazaki already has you covered on this one.
>>332702680

This is supposed to be the last Dark Souls anyway, right? Aren't they moving on to other things for a while?

>>332708078
But I've already played through it? how is this an argument?
>>332708915
yes, bloodborne 2 and possibly DeS Remastered
but they're done being multiplatform, miyazaki realized how cancerous the pc community was after dark souls 3

This is going to come as a shock, but most people that finish these games only play through these games once. Those that do keep playing generally stick to their one character and do NG+
Hell, most never even finish them.
Bloodborne was replayable with chalice dungeons and NG+ just like every other title.

DeS: add people to Nexus. Build up your safe haven and unlock sidequests and abilities.
DaS: bring people to Firelink. Build up your safe haven and unlock sidequests and abilities.
DaS2: bring people to Majula. Shops open.
BB: some people can go to the Temple.
Does DaS3 follow this trend of giving you less to do with your hub?
>>332712498
Supposedly, it give you a lot more this this time. I haven't played though so I don't have specifics but I know there are a bunch of sidequests for the characters you bring back to Firelink.
>>332704365
the dude looks like a young bill clinton
>>332712498
No you bring lots of npcs to the hub for sidequests and even for five free levels and a alternate ending and habilitiert
>>332712498
Firelink was hardly like nexus or Majula. People were coming and going all the time. Usually it's pretty barren there, even by the end.
>>332700775
No double daggers?
>>332712498
DaS3 has around 15 people who come and go from firelink. Some of these are trainers for magic/miracles/pyromancy/hexes.
Others have varying levels of sidequest and mainline story quests.
I don't want to spoil so thats all I'll say.
I was pretty happy with the side quests I did and I know for sure i missed quite a few.
I hated DS2. Are you saying this is more like DS1?
Because I can't see how that's a bad thing.
Wouldn't rolling a pyromancer in 3 not make sense? How does throwing fire at the LORDS OF CINDER damage them?
>>332712498
>build up your safe haven
There's no building going on, though.
You talk to people, and they show up in the Nexus, Majula, or Firelink, but most of the time Firelink is barren.
Not to mention that you get new abilities in DS2 the same way you get them in Demon's Souls and Dark Souls.

You haven't played it, have you? It's pretty fucking great which you'll learn when you get a chance to actually play it through, you twat. Shit, I played the Japanese version with Google translate and it's still the best first playthrough of a soulsborne game I've had.
