The progression is pretty linear but the areas themselves are very open. I wouldn't count that as "linear as fuck."
And the mobs are probably the hardest in the entire series. I've only just gotten up to the boss in winter town and he's already a contender for one of the hardest in the series, and I've been told it only gets harder from there on out.

I was scared after reading people on here saying it was as linear as Dark Souls II but I am suprised at how open the areas are. lot more exploration.
DS II was hot garbage but this game seems to be an amalgamation of everything good from the past games.
The pacing sucks.

I enjoyed Dark Souls 2 but I know deep down it's a shallow game when compared to the other titles before it, and doesn't hold up as well as a sequel to Dark Souls.
However Dark Souls 3 restored my faith in the series. It resembles itself to the original games and still feels fresh with the Bloodborne setting
One gripe I have is that the player can attack right after being, hit. If this is caused by high poise that is slightly acceptable but still makes the game seem as though it was catered for the casual audience
Thoughts?
>>334179679

How the fuck I beat Abyss Watchers? This boss is bs. I keep dying to first form already, but second form is just impossible
>>334181363
You've probably been irreversibly ruined by almost exclusively playing games after the point where they all turned into hand-holding experiences.
If you make a stupid decision, or fuck up your input, you are going to die. It isn't the games fault for being too difficult, it's your fault for being too shit to deal with it.
Literally all you need to know to play DaS is that you should level strength if you want to use big slow weapons, and dex if you want to use fast pointy weapons. The rest of your points should go into vitality for more health, and endurance for more stamina. The most important part of the game is levelling your weapons, you will get absolutely destroyed if you don't upgrade them.
>>334181363
this but I tried out Demon's Souls. Played a few bosses in but ultimately wasn't having any fun.
>>334181686
I got destroyed by them for hours, then I went and fought the tree instead, made a spear out of its wood, and then I destroyed the Abyss Watchers first try because the extended reach and fast attack speed stunlocked the shit out of the second form.

Most of the trouble is people using weapons that really aren't suited to the boss.
Bloodborne is so much better than the Dark Souls series. Miyazaki should just abandon the series already and focus on Bloodborne 2.

>>334181928
Dude, relax. You don't have to pretend like you're on the high ground with your pretend website war.
Dark Souls 3 is pretty much the same as it's always been, which is a good thing. It's nothing harmless and it's pretty much the status quo for From software. They are pros at milking the same game for dozens of other editions. It happened to Armored Core and King's Field. Why bother being up in arms about it?

>>334182536
Yes, I would even suggest it since there's a lot of online activity and freshness at the outset.
There's some nostalgia stuff here and there for recurring players, but it probably works backwards too, playing the older games and recognizing the stuff from this game.

Dark souls 3 is probably the most publicly hyped souls, so all the new people will be constantly summoning help. I'm sure the summoning amount will go down soon, after the new souls players beat it.
It's great, way better than DaS2, but still a bit underwhelming. They played it REALLY safe and that's not necessarily a bad thing but it just doesn't feel as exciting as DaS and BB

Bloodborne didn't have too much content though. The weapons you get at the start of the game can be used throughout the entire thing, and without the dlc there are only a few viable weapons
>>334183532
Parrying won't stop the other 2, will it?
I was looking into a big weapon though, better for crowd control
>>334182486
Bought a PS4 on a whim and BB is the only game worth buying on the console, fuck Sony.
Well, two deaths against Abyss Watchers now and I already feel that if I beat them with my trusty broadsword, its pure luck with my skills. Gonna bash my head on this until I beat them, since I refuse to summon any help.
>>334178536
>I'm hoping DaS 3 is more challenging
Anon..I
>>334183369
Those are just shitty opinions. The combat system is different enough that some things like beltcasting would be utterly OP.
>>334183682
Starting weapons have always been viable.
The weapons offer more worthwhile moves in both stances.
The weapons have better gimmicks.
The weapons have better charges.
The weapons have instant stance swap.
Sorry little guy...
>>334178536
>he didnt fight the orphan of kos
>>334183682
That's true. I pretty much used the Saw Cleaver through my entire first playthrough before I discovered the godlike Reiterpallasch. The DLC adding all of the weapons at the end anyway doesn't even make much fucking sense since you're most likely gonna be playing it at the end of the game anyway
>>334183939
How would belt casting be OP? You stop, cast your spell, and do a gesticulation just like BB. You people are retarded.
Now go ahead, paint a scenario where this is OP
>>334183682
>The weapons you get at the start of the game can be used throughout the entire thing
That's been the case in every game though. falchion, zweihander, anything is das2, etc. Das3 will be no different.
>>334184159
>don't need to select the catalyst
>don't need to sacrifice offense or defense
>with the OP magic in Souls
How is that not broken? It worked in Bloodborne because the magic was toned down
>>334180080
The movement looks really fluid. Is this on console?
>>334183939
Almost nothing he said there was an opinion.
For example you can strafestab bosses, you can't punish heals, the transforms are strictly better and more useful than the incredibly varied weapon arts, and the charge attacks are infinitely more useful.
The "well, that's just your opinion" is always a statement uttered by people who have absolutely nothing to say. In fact it's just your opinion that beltcasting would be overpowered... So you're willing to acknowledge that but not all the rest?
I had a bad time with Dark Souls and kinda gave up but now I feel like going back to complete it.
>>334179056
Also, 25% of pc users can't even start the game up, then 50% can't play cause of game breaking crashes, sometimes lack of hit boxes, and just spinning like a top in the very beginning

>>334182387
>>334184752
My advice to you is try to get in a comfortable position and just relax while you play. If you die you die, you can always get your souls back. If you notice yourself getting irritated then just calm down instead of having it escalate. The games are significantly more fun if you're laid back while playing.
Or maybe none of that applies to you. If that's the case then my bad.
>>334184671
You can parry chesse every humanoid boss in Bloodborne, which is even more abusable than strafestab (which you can't do with every boss by the way)
Some trick weapons become almost useless when you get weapons with better scaling
You can use Lloyd's and punish healing with some weapon arts in DaS 3
How about you stop being retarded?
>>334184987
Yeah I more got irritated with not being able to progress. I was at these skeletons and I kept dying. Didn't really understand what build to have or what to level up or anything. I watched a guy play it though so I have a better understanding of it now.
It looks really fun when I watch it but I didn't have much fun playing it. Maybe if I git gud I'll enjoy it more
>>334184519
>"Painting a scenario."
>Just makes a bunch of general statements with no indicated scenario.
Well nigger, there were catalyst weapons in previous games and weapons that casted their own spells and none of those were broken in the slightest.
The reason you can't articulate a scenario is because there is none.
>"Sacrificing defense."
Well, that's literally impossible as only a retard relies on a shield.
>"Sacrificing offense."
You should say sacrificing fun and reactive combat, because that's all you're sacrificing when you slowly and arduously pull out a catalyst informing your opponent exactly what you're going to do.
>>334185364
Are you talking about the skeletons right at the beginning and trying to go there first? That would definitely curb a new player's progress. You want to go up along the side of a cliff. If you think of the graveyard as north, then the place you want to go is southeast. It's just past the well.
>>334185759

>>334185606
>Well nigger, there were catalyst weapons in previous games and weapons that casted their own spells and none of those were broken in the slightest.
Maybe because they were toned down spells, dumbshit?
>Well, that's literally impossible as only a retard relies on a shield.
It's good to have the option.
>The reason you can't articulate a scenario is because there is none.
Asking about an artbitrary scenario is not how you prove people wrong.
>You should say sacrificing fun and reactive combat, because that's all you're sacrificing when you slowly and arduously pull out a catalyst informing your opponent exactly what you're going to do.
>fun and reactive
Muh buzzwords. If you don't understand how it would be utterly broken to just pull spells out of your ass with the Dark Souls magic system then you are a retard.
Again, nice opinions bro.
>>334185997
Who are you replying to, retard?
>>334178129
It's generic as fuck. It's not bad, but it has none of the atmosphere or magic that the original two games had.
It's derivative fan service like MGS4. People love MGS4 so I guess DaS3 is in for a couple of months of circle jerking, but it won't be remembered as anything special.
>>334178463
I love how /v/ shits itself over BB, but literally everybody I know, myself included, finds it to be the weakest link in the series.
>Only five thrusting swords.
>FOURTEEN greatswords.
>>334186269
I find it better than DaS 2, but honestly while it has amazing visuals and themes, it strays too much from the RPG part of Souls for me to consider it the best game in the series.
>>334186081
>Buzzwords.
Sorry... Pulling out a catalyst to cast a spell is slow, dull, not reactive, and stifle defense. There isn't a single thing you can say otherwise.
All catalysts do is make the game more dull.
First and second boss are way to fucking easy. My fist time playing deprived class and i killed them both first try.

You have no arguments.
Your one main argument is "well, they're weaker for one"... But that's not really an argument against my point.
My argument is that it's less diverse, and that's a truth.
Finally spells have never really been broken, even when they one-shotted people because they are retardedly easy to dodge. Special catalysts and older "weapon arts" have never been broken. If anything spells have always been trash outside of pre-patch TWoP. The only time they were worth more than a single fuck was pre-patch Dark Souls when you could cast any spell or miracle instantly without charges, requirements, etc with full adjust pyro glove.
You give no evidence of it being broken, and clearly weren't around when the game was fucked and started with patched DkS1.
>>334189309
>My argument is that it's less diverse, and that's a truth.
How is it less diverse, are you dumb?

Less moves at any given time is less immediate diversity and less variety. You're truly retarded if you don't understand that that exceedingly simple concept of modally removing 66% of your offense/defense moves and in exchange for spells isn't less diversity.
You just outed yourself as some PTD newb.
>>334191448
Oh, so you're one of those kind of retards that thinks that because you can do anything at anytime the game is more diverse. Why do I even bother replying to retards like you?

I never played Demon's Souls; not yet, at least. I started with DS1, played both DS2 and Bloodborne as well. Got DS3 yesterday, having a pretty good time with it. I prefer it to both DS1 and DS2, although because of the setting, atmosphere and all the weird Lovecraftian shit, I'll take Bloodborne any day.

Frooooom
>>334195287
But the reach is shit.
>>334178129
the framerate is ass though, I normally don't care as long as its steady but these constant drops in framerate are annoying as fuck.
At least it doesnt make my eyes hurt like Blood Borne did.
>>334178129
It's shit.

If you get 5 sigils from him, he'll die and Yuria will replace him.
Otherwise, he dies after you beat the Abyss Watchers IIRC.
>>334178129
Is it really? I have only been playing for like an hour, but i don't find the world interesting and engaging at all.
>>334195587
Yuria didn't replace him for me at all, she never showed up to begin with.

>>Game is literally overflowing with nostalgia fanfic shit to the point where it practically parodies itself.
Isn't that part of the lore and isn't this game, the last game of the series, supposed to make that abundantly clear?
This game is so grey that everything blends into everything and ends up hurting my eyes.
>>334195587
What do sigils do? The fire keeper has an option to heal them.
>>334195667
The opening area and High Wall of Lothric suck ass and are boring.
Wait until you get to Undead Settlement. Shits crazy fun to explore.
I'm 12 hours in, loving it. As good as Bloodborne, but definitely not better.
Also I don't fucking understand all these performance complaints, I'm playing on High with 60fps ON A FUCKING 960.
What the fuck is up with the Pvp in this game
Everytime i invade its 3 fucking betas
Game is great, I am having a lot of fun playing it, but has anyone had issues with summons? Or being summoned? I want to help people fight bosses, and I can't get summoned, and when I try to summon other people it fails all the time.
>>334195450
I'm talking about the sound, not the effect.

literally what? where can I find that thief again? he vaporized last time
>>334182375
I be having trouble against guys who i invade using that weapon. Shit OP yo
>>334196083
i think the thief cunt is somehwhere in firelink shrine, on the sides
>>334194184
Speak for yourself pleb. I'm playing on a year old laptop and get 60fps only dipping into the low 30's.
>>334196079
I know, but doesn't disabling the effect disable the sound?
Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to make DS3 playable?
I got GTS 450, i7 2600, 8gb ram, I can normally run most games on almost highest settings, but DS2 gives me 5-15 fps on optimal settings and 15-30 on lowest settings and few times smaller screen resolution.
I tried few different revisions of drivers that people have suggested and nothing helped.
What should I do?
Fucking Capcom always having tons of release issues (and nvidia probably too). When will they patch it? Or rather when will a random guy do it much sooner?
>>334196047
Use the environment to your advantage. Retreat back to the hosts enemies if you have to. I'm currently invading the undead settlement and I always fight and retreat back to where those giant saw dudes are at. They will fuck them uo. Not to mention if they haven't passed through the area, a mound maker will invade and fuck them up too.
>>334187082
I hit him once and he fell straight off that cliff.
>>334196361
Yeah i know, its always that odd party of fags that stay next to a bonfire.
Shame they didn't make some kind of copy of sens fortress. That place is fucking god tier and nothing will ever top it
>>334178129
I've got a lord soul and I've defeated the giant Skeleton Cleric thing.
My biggest complaints are lack of choice in the beginning.
Dark Souls is great because you can go to several different locations after the Asylum.
But this only branchs off into 2 paths.
And it feels more like Bloodborne than a Souls game.
The aesthetic, half the monsters are straight wolf hybrids again.

>>334178129
It's just a complete rehash of it's predecessors.
Only a few enemies/bosses are unique.
Bloodborne was better.

I will never not kek at /v/ and their neetbux potato builds wondering why they can't play modern games.
Am I getting too soft or is this much more difficult than the previous games?

Vanishing like that means he's become a service NPC at Firelink.
You'll find him left of the Blacksmith, below.
>actually playing Demon's Souls 5
Stop enabling bad developer habits.
Does using a purging stone make Yuria hate you? or just until she replaces the other guy?
How do i equip a covenant ?
just leave it in my inv?
I suggest you all restart and kill the way of blue lady first thing and beat the dancer. Welcome to hell.If you like PvP doing this makes it so you can be invaded by Darkmoon right off the bat. It seems it also makes it so you get MUCH less summon signs and puts you very high up on the invasion list. You'll constantly be getting invaded by reds and blues. Good way to farm covenant items early.
>>334196748
It has, I feel like I hate the game now based on how bullshit some enemies are and how constantly fucked you are.
Some situations that the game puts you into are cheap as well, I am fucking raging. Need a break.

and everything before and including Anor Londo is better than either of the other games by enough of a margin to still be best.
>>334195842
It does look pretty flat, doesn't it? I don't know why that is, but the other games didn't suffer from it.

HELP ME LADS
BR favelamonkey here. I want to play the game in english but can't see language options. Where are the language options bros? ALL SOULS GAMES AND BLOODBORNE HAD LANGUAGE OPTIONS DONT TELL ME IM STUCK WITH THIS GAME IN SHITTY PORTUGUESE
>>334197268
FUCKING HELL
i did not see that, fuck me. Thanks man
>equipping the torch instantly removes the bleedy maggots
Neat
if this is what the base game is like, the dlc is gonna be radical
>>334196748
It is. All the bosses have so much tech now. Those fuckers have feints, dodge bait combos, block bait combos, hyperarmor, they've got fucking everything. And aside from a few lardasses it's hard to render them completely harmless by just rolling between their legs or circling them.
I'm a little miffed you have to rely on i-frames even more now, it's getting kind of ridiculous, but man are the bosses good.
just recently started.

one ember left. have beaten this guy a few times as a phantom but every single time i summon somebody to help me they just run straight into his arrows and get smashed.
i have been doing this fight successfully all fucking day as a phantom just to get embers only to lose them straight away when my summon goes full retard. but it's next to impossible to do this solo.
please kill me.
>>334197532
The church catches on fire during a boss battle. Not surprising.
>>334179009
Infinite healing.
The tree boss in the Undead Village has so much health
Do I just need to use the fire resin?
what's a good strength weapon to invest in? i just beat the sage in the forest/wetland area and i'm using a +2 bastard sword.
>>334197062
I did that and managed Dancer at level 20 with the katana faggots help. Then I went on to beat Oceiros and Champion Gundyr by level 39. Now I'm rocking Gundyrs Glaive for the rest of the game.
>>334178129
It is really fun and has the third best maps of the series. DaS > DeS > DaS3. It is much more fun than bloodborne imo
>>334197698
hit him in his sacs, then hit him in his mutant hand

That was pretty funny.

Hit the fuck out of his sacks
Anyone know where large club is?
>>334197550

I won't, ask Aldrich:^)
Anyone know why i cant talk to Irina of Carim ?
Got 14 faith but i suspect it may be because i have one hollowing.
Enough said?
Btw, whatcha think bout my build?
Who /cleangetaway/ here?
>spend a good amount of time fucking with the host and his endless amount of suncuck buddies
>get down to low hp with no flask

Been at it all day and its a lot of fun. Whenever it looks like I'll be fighting an uphill battle I'll just do whatever I can to make it harder on the host and just back out when I'm having a hard time.
>>334198025

>>334197698
>>334197808
>>334197927
Even a simple unupgraded (or +1) Longbow with wood arrows will deal enough damage to destroy the sacs in a few hits. Made the fight almost feel like a joke.
Almost.Fuck that hand hitbox.
Jesus fucking Christ. I took a fall to check out some area below, and got dunked by this NPC, and taunted all in one swift motion before I could even recover.
I'm not even mad, I'm genuinely impressed.
>>334197985
Never mind im retarded
Thought she was the one in white on the stairs until i looked around
So does your Weapon Level change when you put your highest in the box or not? Because I literally can't invade at +10 right now.
>>334198078
I have no idea, to be honest...
Must be something wrong with the calucations...
>>334178129

Anyone here with a GTX 570 or i3 who can tell me how good it runs on that?
Any mention of Priscilla in it?

should spend more souls on temps for that fire damage buff quite honestly
How is everyone so friendly in PvP?
Everyone returns my bow gesture. and doesn't attack until it's clear we're both ready.

>>334178370
The level design is far better than the original dark souls imo. I don't know why people think otherwise, you have at least 5x the content in one area than you ever did in ANY area in a previous souls games. Much better verticality as well, blew my mind how much you could explore in the undead settlement and cathedral of the deep.
>find the large club

Just had a red using a giant crab as a safey spot in the swamp. Let him run back to it, used seed, and watched the crab fuck his shit in 2 seconds.
I hope people don't figure out how to get infinite seeds like I have. At least they haven't run out so far and I've gotten 45.

>not recognizing iron tarkus
Get out.
Guys the bug NPC that i think is supposed to sell sorceries just lays dead in Firelink. What did i do wrong?
>>334198483
yesyou need to for the third endingyou become hollow, but only in appearance, after dying loads which gives you free level upsyou ca cure it with a firekeeper soul but if you do you can't get the third ending
>>334198557
You don't even need to hide behind an enemy either all you have to do is get a decent distance from the host and you can back out with no problems. The black crystal takes like 2-3 seconds to work.
