Can someone explain to me why Japan thinks Dark Souls 3 is subpar? I might cancel my preorder .btw I looked at all the reviews and they were VERIFIED buyers and gave the game 2-3 stars out of 5 so they arent trolling like /v/ does with megacritic

The Japanese Amazon reviews are always full of shit posting. If it does one thing, minor or not, that the online 2ch community doesn't like, they shit post the reviews.

From what I've seen reviews on Jap amazon are way more critical than anywhere else. Various versions of DS1 and 2 have three stars on there too.

No one implied that they would do that, retard. The word was only used in this 4chan thread.

I'm no expert but I would guess most of the Nips don't like games without any waifus.

That's because it's the best souls game.

Google Translate makes it look like all the 2 star reviews are about how the game is too hard and the enemies have too much HP

it's a shitty translation so it's hard to tell

you must be a tribabby because 4u is the worst, most casual monster hunter to date. everyone dropped that shit game and went back to 3u

Japs only like handheld fanservice animu games. It's very sad.

Everything that is different from the highly cliched stories that japanese enterteinmet offers is going to be trashed hard.

I think you can count that because it's probably 3 times at the very most.

The game has reused assets out the ass, the same problems das 2 has with lots of giant humanoid bosses (scratch that, it's even worse, EVERY humanoid enemy is a giant with the exception of very few non respawning enemies) and non connected levels, and this time the levels have no variety they have the same horrible repetitive design from bloodborne, the game plays like a sped up das 1 to make it play like BB, poise is still fucked, only effective on hyper armor(certain moves) and weapon arts is a useless gimmick.

Magic has never been this unbalanced (it's borderline useless) and on top of that it takes estus slots yo refill, damage reductions has some dumb system that you can wear ANYTHING to get a flat damage reduction as long ad you have that slot occupied and are not naked, the stats on the armor are just minimal increments, so a dude with shitty starting clot will have very similar DR compared to a dude in havel.

Weight system is straight up inferior to das 2, in das 2 up until 70% you fast roll, but you get a stamina recovery malus the more you approach the cap and your roll shortens considerably, not only in das 3 your roll is nearly the same approaching 70% but there is no stamina malus system in place, everyone will load at 69% because there are no downsides to it.


Th3 game is just a mess, except for very few bosses it's extremely easy and the enemies are just repetitive and look pulled straight out of bloodborne, hell they have fucking giant humanoid bosses acting like beasts, why not just use a monster instead?

>>333780418

Mind sharing a little bit why? Just curious, 4's my first MH game and I didn't really get into the others.

It's kind of a meme in japan to leave highly critical videogame reviews in amazon. I'm actually amazed it's so high.
>>
>>333780815
the biggest complaint is the new mounting mechanic. it's a fucking joke and completely fucks up the core game play by scattering ledges everywhere for it. anyone who played using the few invincibility frames when dodge rolling quickly found out how retarded of an idea that was and fucks up the entire meta the game is widely known for.

other than that, there's absolutely no semblance of weapon balance. the two new weapons make everything piss easy and solo kill anything within minutes. there's so many tools and options with them they're improved versions of already existing weapons and make the rest of them completely obsolete. hell, they give you new options to dodge and block monster attacks on already hindered hit boxes, basically the game is too fucking easy and nobody but the most crapcom cum gargling retards kept interest after finishing the final big blue monster quest

>>
>>333782448

Everything is factually correct, if you want proof check damnohtml on youtube, he has made videos testing das 3

Unless you mean the design decisions, and those cannot be argued, every enviorme t looks like bloodborne every humanoid is a giant for no reason, even the hollows the bosses are all boring and extremely easy with very few exceptions and there are loterally gimmick bosses like Yorm the giant and ancient drake and the world is not connected, so I don't understand what you're trying to argue here.
>>
As always /v/ is absolutely clueless.

Try actually reading the reviews you claim are full of bullshit. Especially the four first ones that are 5/5, you fucking Fromdrones with an inferiority complex.

not enough kawai shit I guess, japan has super shit taste anyway.

>>

>cold hard facts
>y-you haven't played it

prove me wrong then.

The game still has the kitk armor roll bug from DaS 1, they literally didn't even bother and straight up ripped tge armor and animations from das1 along with the bug.

This is nothing more than a cashgrab.

> 3 1/2 stars
>Subpar

Don't even care about Dark Souls (good series though) just wanted to say you're retarded.
>>
>>333783679
Because when you'd read them you'd see they're absolutely valid in this case. Expecially the 5/5 ones, you fucking Fromdrone dunce.

Buuu buu buuu, you retarded kid, did some other shitty game you stuff inside your ass get only 4/5 from evil people on Japanese Amazon? I know what to do, better hate all Japanese reviews you can't actually read and have no idea what they say.

Fuck, as I said, today I'm especially not amused by braindead shits like you.

Just gonna stop here because you're retarded, but there's a ring that restores FP on backstab/ripostes. I'm not going to read the rest of some autistic retard's posts.
>>
>>333784039

Funny, because it still takes estus to refill, nice strawman though.

Oh yeah all those bosses you can riposte and party, wait what's that? It's just Abyss watchers? Lol.

Prove me wrong, prove at least one single point wrong.

ftfy

If I have to rely on crits I don't waste points in int/faith, I straight up go quality builds, magic is still inferior.

Regardless, you can't use it on bosses, and the replenishment is laughable, it takes estus.

Next.

Does 3 still have power stance/proper dual wielding? I've seen screenshots with some dedicated dual wieldan weapon and I hope they didn't leave it at that.
>>
>>333786254
Power stance is gone. There are lots of weapons designed for dual wielding but that's it.

That's likely the truth, as Japs rage children and spam low ratings on review sites when they feel a game is too hard for them. They do it every time.

For what fucking purpose. Didn't they bring soul memory or something like that back for this game, too?

Soul memory is gone. I think they removed it to encourage use of weapon arts, but I have no idea.
