Never mind are you going to upset the gaming community, you are likely to get slapped with a suit or cease/desist, oh and I guarantee you will lose early review access for any company that sees this. Bad move to try and get web traffic/views by releasing early before the big dogs review. Bye random website and good riddance.

I've seen a full playthrough of the game, courtesy of an American living in Japan, and he didn't experience any problems until he was booted offline for internet issues.

Even from that POV, you would check reviews to see if said product breaks quickly or lacks features that are advertised. Not to mention the fact that video games are larger and, for lack of a better term, deeper products, with full design teams, musicians, voice actors, and, in some cases, community managers for the large communities that they draw.

Yes, it was on his personal PC.
He lives in Japan and went to a local store and bought a copy. Since it wasn't english, and therefore filtered through From's pre-release dissemination to western streamers, he had full rights to stream it in its entirety and has gone so far as to stream a full NG+ playthrough also.

Well its hard to excuse this when they have had 3 other games that feature transformation and how fans have wanted it to be more significant than it has been.

I dont mind Anal Rodeo in the context of the game if it takes place in Lordran.

I like the fact that you can finally go down and that it has changed.

In fact I think DaS 3 fucked up big time with the fanservice because many characters were unnecessary and more DaS locations needed ot be there.

For example Old Izalith needed a view of the DaS itzalith map underneath, like the one on this game had windows on those upped buildings you could see near ceaseless discharge.

Another example is the Kiln of the First flame. I feel like it should have been a modified DaS map of the Kiln, not that shitty half assed thing we got where you fight the Soul of Cinder.

I also dont mind old armors returning, but for fuck's sake, FROM, at least age them like a lot of time has passed.

I honestly don't get the mass hatred /v/ has for references back to the previous games. It's a sequel, thus it makers sense.

I understand your point but coming off Bloodborne its disappointing to see a lack of creativity from them. I realize its a sequel so there will be references but some of them aren't done tastefully(all of Aldritch) and some are done pretty well(Final boss).

From does make themselves easy targets though with how they traditionally rehash content, when its done as frequently as it is in DS3 its low hanging fruit is all I'm saying.

Aldrich is in fact the boss I hate the most.

The shittest "original" design of any boss yet (that is not a clone)

The concept of a massive black goo was so cool, and instead we got a shitty turd with hair and Gwyndolin with a staff with Nito's sword at the tip.

Oh, and the shitty clipping goo textures on the floor.

Sooo many cool concepts wasted

>You can't move fast on the goo

>You're constantly swarmed by goo enemies

>Aldrich has an actual head and shape, and can travel through the goo to any place in the room, and can drop on you

>Aldrich has acid attacks that break your equipment

>Gwyndolin casts magic but is on Aldich's side, like half swallowed instead of being his fucking head.

>Nito is not part of Aldrich

> The whole area before the boss room is filled with black filth, also dripping from the cathedral's windows to hint the player about his presence.

Aldrich was the owner of the massive tomb on the Cathedral of the Deep where you fight the deacons, for fucks sake. You're expecting a massive and impressive boss, not that pile of shit.

excluding asylum demon (tutorial boss) there's about 10 possible first bosses in DaS1. That's a great thing for replay value.

In DaS3 you can choose to do Vordt first and nothing else. Plus most levels have only 1 entrance and 1 exit instead of the connected web DaS has for half the map

Dark souls 3 just feels like the game from had to make out of order from bamco.

My problem with this game as a souls player is most of the bosses are kinda shit. A lot of them revolve around gimmicks.

Iudex Gundyr:Starter boss
Vordt:Starter boss with slow as shit swings
Curse rotted greatwood: minimal damage areas but slow attacks
Crystal sages:Become a normal enemy later
Deacons:Add fight that will only be a problem for non-clear weapons
Abyss watchers:Cool looking but easy to kill,good add boss for once
Wolnir:Gimmick as fuck, mist might kill people
Old demon: only his fire ring is dangerous
Pontif:actually dangerous, pretty cool looking, good boss
Aldritch:lots of missles, could challenge some people, meme-boss
Yhorm:gimmick as fuck
Ancient wyvern:king of gimmicks
Nameless king: bad camera for dragon, disappointing when on foot, slow swings wide opening
Dragonslayer armor:people are going to shit themselves when the dragons kill them
L&L:classic kill me or I full heal, nothing personal teleports, actually dangerous
Oceiros:not-steath I should be in bloodborne flailing
Champion gundyr:coolguy with sick stomps but still classic wide open please hit me
Final boss:fanmade wank that is actually done well

Only a few of them are iconic and only the latter half are worth a damn difficulty wise the rest rely on a gimmick

Exactly like that, I expect more out of the third game in a series. All of their games have this as a problem but there are only around 3 bosses in DS3 that mean a shit right now. DLC might change that like it did for DS2 though.

>>333103425
Abyss watchers give you a helper to kill the first dude and the final watchers only dangerous trait is the flame hitboxes, he still has wide openings and you can backstab the fuck for crying out loud. Pontiff when his clone is out is actually a threat.

He's so fucking easy to avoid. I blame the retarded amount of invincibility frames you have on roll. I mean I hated Dark Souls 2's shitty roll and adaptability in general, but you seriously feel invincible while mashing circle in ds3. I think there's even more invincibility than ds1's dwgr roll

Thats why I said when he gets it out, if you don't kill it you are fighting two of them and the one teleports behind the real one after attacking while the main one covers him with swings.

His gimmick is the least offensive out of all of them because it allows you a chance to deal with it or get fucked. A well designed boss. Most of the bosses in 3 have their gimmick tied to when the fight starts.
>>
>>333103606
I'd argue that Bed of Chaos is more gimmicky as a main boss. At least, you can fight Yhorm head on if you want. You just have to hit his arms and head enough to provoke a BB riposte for 4k damage.
>>
>>333103796
>R1 spam

Straight sword player detected. Trying to R1 spam Pontiff with a weapon that isn't fast and high damage and that costs literally no stamina to swing will get you killed.

With weapons that take actual skill you have to wittle the clone down over time, as opposed to using a straight sword and beating your R1 button like it slept with your wife.

Not him but he's even gimmickier than DeS bosses, and he's clearly heavily based on two of them.

At least Storm King gave you the fucking option of using a bow and naturally enticed you to use the storm ruler by making him fly out of melee range rather than simply making him borderline invincible to everything bar 1 weapon.

I didn't mind warping being available from the start, and I'll demonstrate why with a scenario: You run out of a poison healing item in Valley of Defilement/Blighttown.

VoD: There are enemies which drop royal lotus, but if that's not an option for whatever reason then you can leave, buy some, and come back.

Blighttown: Eat shit.
