I sort of agree with the op, what's the deal with all these big enemies that have huge poise and like 5 hit attacks? They all have shield breaker attacks and getting behind them generally will only work for that one thrust attack

>mfw when OP is kind of right.
The single player is solid enough however I just got my red eye orb and they fucking RUINED pvp in this game. You can only seem to invade into groups.
The best case scenario with this shit is that you invade into a gank squad. That'd the BEST case. What usually happens is I get into the world - and the host immediately enters the fog door. This is because most people don't summon their allied phantoms until right up at the boss. This was such a fucking retarded decision on From's part. Easily worse then the Summoner Level fiasco. They aren't just nerfing pvp - they're now wasting my time.
I've also got more lag than usual, but I won't blame the game for that yet.
>>334246864
>mismatched and disproportionate hot mess of cloth plate and chain

>>334246872
For PvP, I agree.
Plenty other options for PvE that are fun and great.
>>334247023
Invaders prioritize hosts with friendly phantoms in them. You can invade all you want, but you'd better play like a bitch and hide behind enemies if you wanna actually win.

Tbh imho senpai, this game is harder than 1 and 2, but it has not infuriated me like 2 has and compared to 1, bonfires are fucking close. Combat is much better than both, as well.
I have no idea why the game is so capricious with PCs, though. I have a 980ti and 6600k and the game is at constant 60 fps and never has crashed once on me.
A valid criticism is that the game is not as original as 1. But in gameplay: go back to 1 and you'll feel how aged and clunky it is. 3 has killed 1 for me in a lot of ways.
>>334247419
Weapon x is better than weapon z so weapon z can't be good.
>>334247580
Look up the definition of inferior, then look up the definition of good.
>>334247678
Ever heard of counters?
>>334247419
im sorry, but this is just not the souls game to bitch about weapon differential. almost every weapon does something unique and different with attack animations. I see tons of people using tons of different weapons every time I co-op or PVP. Some weapons are flavor of the week, but I guarantee it will change. With all the different weapon strikes people are going to choose a weapon based on what feels comfortable to them.
Maybe in a month we'll have our first 'meta', but I guarantee it will continue to change. There's just too much fucking variety.
>>334247579
>but it has not infuriated me like 2
funny because for me its the opposite.
the fact that they just outright dropped the connected world is even worse than das2 horrible transitions.
>find the first knights
>fighting one of them feels like a miniboss
>>334247734
Yes, counters.
If one thing is superior to another then it's a counter.
I don't understand where you're going with this.
>>334246872
I'm doing great with the bkgs, artorias sword, and pontiff flame sword (forgot Name) maybe I'm just good with strength weapons but I've gank spanked weebs with uchi's like 8 times now. Is this a me me or something?
>>334246939
fuck I need a better screen, got 2 G1970's and a i5 6660k and had to skimp on a screen so only have 1080 for now.
Just from my experience in a few early zones, but it doesn't typically play out lIke that. Like I said, most of the hosts are hanging around the end of the level anyway. Best case scenario is the gank squad patiently waiting for me by the fog door: Ready for a little invader sodomy before they carebear their way through the single player.
>>334245367
I mean I'd be pretty satisfied if it at least tasted decent and was edible. Food is pretty important, after all.

It has for me.

Man, fuck this game. It's better than DaS by a mile and DaS2, but still.
>>334247942
Ricards was not as diverse for PvP because of the R2 being telegraphed to the point where you could get parried on the first thrust.
BSS is a straight sword.
Velka's was just bad.

Help. Is my PC too weak for this? Even with the game running at 720p with all settings low I only get 30fps at max, dipping to 15 in areas and against large bosses/enemies. I tried rolling my nvidia driver back to 314.22 and it didn't really help at all.
Sotfs is a dx11 'current gen' game that I could get over 60fps on even with the settings high. Why can't I get this to not run like shit?
*sweats*
>>334248307
>never stop attack pot throwers
Are they that difficult?
Just kite them into throwing the pot, as the saw is weaker, then they'll charge, you roll once, and now you can wail on them.
It may take more than one volley, but they are very simple.
>>334248338
Yes, buy a Piss 4
>>334248307
The ironic thing is that EVERYONE gave B-Team shit for having a few enemies with unlimited stamina and poise, but then EVERY SINGLE AREA in DaS3 has at least one common enemy like this.
Like how the fuck did A-Team think this was acceptable?
>>334248473
Some of them don't throw their pot, just like not all mimicscrabwalk

The biggest problem I have with DaS3 so far isn't the enemies with too much poise, those are a breath of fresh air. It's the fact that most enemies have so little poise an estoc stunlocks almost everything.

Oh my god please keep going. This level of continued butthurt over a year after the release fucking sustains me.
Who blueberry here?
having a blast with the pvp so far, win or lose.
More often than not I get summoned just seconds after invader-kun, sometimes with a purple already there even. It feels like Fromsoft finally got bluefags right this time.
FFS. AND NOT ONLY DO I INVADE INTO GANK SQUADS, BUT I GO IN WITH UNEMBERED HEALTH? FUCKING CAREBEARS RUINED ANOTHER FRANCHISE'S PVP.
At least the kb+m controls are decent enough this time around.
Am I just blind but where are all the chests? I've cleared the catacombs and found maybe 3 chests and one mimic with deep axe so far
>>334248757
Pretty sure chests are a lot rares in this one. So far I've found 4, two of which were mimics.
I found a glitch that makes it so bosses can't attack you. It's worked for Pontiff Sylvanas, Old Demon King and Abyssal Watchers so I assume it works for everything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZboyfaVLM4
Basically when it says "invading another world" enter the fog gate and wait to get pulled into the hosts world. Once you go back to your own world you'll be inside the boss room and the boss won't do shit to you.
>tfw THE ONLY boss that successfully blended souls and BB was Pontiff Sulyvahn.
>>334245175
I've got a 980ti and I've got a constant 60fps in every area on max settings. You're talking out of your arse.
>>334247237
It's honestly hard to keep using it over my simple fire longsword, if only because it's so fucking rare to find the fucking Crystal Lizard Deluxe enemies. I'm going to have to pound levels in Str and Dex for it to match up to a weapon without any scaling at all, purely because I've tripped over enough titanite to upgrade three other weapons.
>>334247419
The rapier from Dark Souls 2. I'm not kidding the whole game breaks apart with that thing with its poke poke poke action.
Also, the Red Iron twinblade; its damage output is incredible. Before the Scholar edition came out, my trusted Grand Lance was also pretty broken because of its poise break capability.
The Blue Flame short sword is also incredible because its a sword but its special casts spells.
Lastly the first wand the sorcerer class starts with in Dark Souls 2. It is objectively the best catalyst. I used them all, and came to the conclusion that the faster casting time of the starting wand mitigated any damage advantage the wand from the dragon aerie may have given. Not to mention, at end game all wands had similar damage ranges. The starting wand can just spam Dark Orb incredibly fast.

You have some legitimate complaints about this game, but lying about the number of good weapons in the game (hint, most fast weapons are very good including axes and straightswords) and acting like bloodborne is a bad game despite it being the best souls game completely ruins your credibility
Why would you do that?

>>334247781
After getting flown from High Wall to the shitty village I haven't come across a teleport yet. And let's not forget that Dark Souls 1 had the exact same transition and that the whole world is fucking visible, you get to see that giant shooting arrows way before you get there, you get to see a gigantic mansion/church and you finally make it there. It's still a world that fits together instead of being a volcano castle level on a fucking ladder. Granted I haven't finished the game so it might throw around a lot of teleports all of a sudden.

Really. This game's community is fucking pathetic. They need hand holding on every little area and now you can only invade into their carebear squads with gimped health.

Make up your goddamn minds. The Undead Settlement is quite an impressive area IMO, with good enemy variety with some scary mob groups to mix things up.
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/09/13/miyazaki-talks-dark-souls-3-freedom/
Thie where Miyazaki talks about Bloodborne's limitations. He just doesnt like the lack of variety of stuff compared to DaS. /v/ has said the same thing about BB. The funny part is magic is nerfed to shit in DaS 3 so no one will end up using it until it is fixed.
>>334247579
i certainly feel like its more challangeing for me than ds1 and ds2 were first times i played them, i never played BB but the combat in DS3 is certainly faster paced which im not used to i guess
>>334249434
I agree. DaS2 was very impressive overall with challenging high poise enemies.
>>334249441
Apparently I've heard magic becomes strong as fuck late game though
>>334249424
Dark Souls is definitely a single player game primarily, but its invasion system has always been lulzy or competitant enough to entertain pvpers. Hell, most of the covenants are pvp related. This is an unprecedented "fuck you" to dark wraithes.
People aren't really mad yet because they're slogging through the games fun storyline, but wait a week when it settles in and people realize this is worse for the pvp community than even Soul Level ever was.

but bloodborne had 4 weapons only, when it should have had a hundred.
>bloated enemies
they cut back on cloth physics and put in more huge dudes and dudes in armor. the bloatedness you're refering to is actually their moves being harder to read, forcing you to learn each enemy.
>crap framerate, 980ti's are getting 20fps
im on a gtx 960, 8gb ram and a flippin i5 760 and getting 60fps. im really surprised that im not getting micro stutters or anything from my cpu bottlenecking.

what happened to poise? why am i getting staggered when wearing full knights by a small dagger?
and whats up with the r1 spam encouragement?

The invasion/co-op system has been an integral part of the souls series from the beginning. Fuck demons souls used to punish you for not participating by halving your health.

Just finished the fight with the crystal bitch and I'm level 36. Am I over leveled?
I would be lower but this dude kept giving me free levels for no reason.
>>334247237
My nigger. Upgraded it +2, love it in PVP and PVE. That 2h L1 is so good for clearing out lots of enemies in one swoop.
>>334249552
>challenging high poise enemies
Did we play the same game? The lone high poise enemies were fine. The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the retarded idea of group combat. Everything was in groups, normal enemies are in group, dogs are in groups, fucking bosses are in groups. Fuck group combat.
>>334249675
Online has always been an absolute laggy joke filled with hackers.
The issue right now is that not a lot of players have orbs, but all of them have covenants to help other players. Obviously the online will be tilted in favor of the casuals, I'm guessing the idea was to make online more about "epic" 5-6 player battles instead of 1v1.
>>334249679
If you've ever summoned someone in a Souls game, you don't deserve to play it, because you clearly didn't understand why you were playing it. Summons completely trivialise the game, the only time they're acceptable is when you're doing a dumb gimmick run after 300 hours played.
OP, maybe you should get good
Yeah op is a retard.
But the game has issues that aren't just people not knowing how to computer. I had the curse rotted tree bug on me, when he ass slammed us into the basement his third arm didn't come out and there were no pustules left to attack, he sat in one spot and ass slammed repeatedly.
I also had the crystal mage disappear into the ground, but one of it's illusions stayed alive, but became invincible. The real boss never resurfaced, also making the fight impossible.
These are game breaking bugs right there. It was my first time fighting the big tree and I thought for like 10 minutes I was doing something wrong.
Everything else is perfect though, I want to keep playing but need sleep.
>>334249675
If you wanted a duel, you would be using the soapstone.
What's the real reason you use a red eye orb?
>>334247237
Where is the ring to dodge like that
>>334249758
Coming from having developed a fast paced game like Bloodborne they probably don't like the idea of a slow armoured style of play being good so they went full retard.
Granted I don't know how bad it is, I haven't touched a piece of armour yet. Can't sacrifice my fast roll for it.
>>334249938
Smells like 2011
>>334249980
>Can't sacrifice my fast roll for it.
anon.. they removed mid rolls.
you fast roll from 0% equip load to 69.9%
thats another issue, but its good for fashion so i forgive them
>>334249948
The only bug I've encountered is a black knight flipping out inside a wall after being teleported upward.
>>334245175
I have a 970 and it runs fine. Only dips in frames when the game decides to autosave.
>>334246864
>>334249909
I don't summon, I get summoned. There are some bosses I really like fighting so I choose to fight them again, like Pontiff Sulyvahn.
Summoning is just another method for players to deal with shit that is simply too hard for them. It's also fun to co-op these games with friends, although finding your friends in DaS and DeS were a pain in the ass.
>>334247831
I just trade hits with Dex webs with my ultra hammer and it's easy win. They really obviously fish around me for back stabs, but they don't seem to understand I can turn while swinging.
>>334249909
>The issue right now is that not a lot of players have orbs,
haha, what? You get the full orb after killing the 2nd boss in the game
>>334250059
>they removed mid rolls.
What like in a patch? fast roll is <30% mid roll is 30% - 70%.You sure you're not thinking about Dark Souls 2?
Any word on an fps fix for R9 2xx? All of a sudden once I got to Firelink Shrine the game has dropped fps significantly.
>>334250242
i havent noticed a difference with armor on or armor off.
dark souls 2 only removed fast rolls, which would have been fine if it wasnt for agility
>>334250178
>Summoning is just another method for players to deal with shit that is simply too hard for them.
And those players aren't actually experiencing the game. Running around with 2 buddies clearing out all the enemies so you can casually stroll up to fog gates and insta-win isn't playing the game. It's trivializing it, and for what? The story isn't good. The atmosphere isn't great. Literally all the game has is gameplay, and yet you're helping people skip all of that because you're convinced that they can't git gud.
Dark Souls is not a hard series. Anyone can beat any boss, you just need a bit of practice.
>>334249257
screaming things that are literally wrong are not opinnions
>>334245175
I don't know if I agree with all of this, but the game does have somewhat of a Bloodborne feel to it so far. A lot of the enemies feel really similar, and even a lot of the sounds and some of the atmosphere as well.
And there's a lot of just 'attack, attack, attack' enemies and gameplay, which is what Bloodborne was all about. I really don't like that mindless shit.
Some of the enemy design looks just plain stupid, too. There were too many times where I was fighting an enemy and thought "this enemy looks dumb, and isn't fun to fight at all."
I still think DaS1 is the best game. At this rate, it will probably never be topped by From. All that being said, DaS3 is still a solid game so far, and I'm enjoying it for the most part.
>>334248124
It's only got one tp at the begining of the game seMpai
>>334249962
For spontaneous, organic pvp in varied locations throughout the game. Not just dueling in the same designated spot for hours on end.
Just like in WoW, filthy casuals don't understand the appeal of world pvp. It also sucks since as a player that prefers to solo content, I hardly ever get invaded anymore. The game has now lost some of that random spice that kept things interesting in favor of carebear gank squads with tilted engagements.
Fuck. I was hoping I could get through this game rant free.
>>334250310
Well the wiki says it's a thing
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Equipment%2BLoad
You sure you're below 30% with armour off? Pretty sure it's not possible without a relatively light weapon or with a heavy shield until you have a fair few points into vitality.
>>334250402
I fail to see what that has to do with linearity, but okay famalan.
>>334250450
How far are you into it? It opens up at some point.
>>334250436
i use a longsword kind of weapon, i know my shield weigh a lot so obviously i unequip that to test the roll speed.
im not seeing much of a difference.
if i want more i-frames, i would just put on the i-frame ring.
>>334250492
Not really though.
>>334249827
you're safe to alt tab and manually right click close the game at that point.
>>334246234
Wait, it can run well on cards bellow the min requirements? Can a shitty 560Ti run it?
>>334250527

>>334246872
>>334247831
I'll be totally honest m80's, I'm rocking the Uchi since minute 10 because I've invested too much into dex and to many large shards into it and there's nothing else I can really use for now. I'm hoping I find somethin else 'cause I am aware of how overused it is for now.
I'm not sure if it's because I haven't tried anything else really or what, but the thing seems to have a really fucking good moveset, especially for PvP.
I'm at the catacombs by the way, just beat the sp00ky boss, how much longer 'till respec?
>>334250527
It's not about the i-frames, it's about the distance rolled and speed of execution. At the start of the game the medium roll made me think I had latency issues with my keyboard.
Just look at your load % below 30% is fast roll.
>>334250592
>>334250615
that would make sense, my wizard is probably fast rolling in his robes.
its really hard dodging around the enemy when you're flying 20m in a dodge.
>>334245175
Boy you sure do love to exaggerate to compensate for your piss poor gaming skills huh? Didn't even mention the pyromancy nerf, so confirmed bait
>>334246358
Steak.
>>334248124
>ds 2 being linear
What the fuck, compared to what? Are you literally a mongoloid? In DS2 you can go 4 different ways from majula shortly after starting the game. In dark souls 1 you basically get railroaded to biggie smalls and then you finally get options. Ironically everyone considers post anor londo the worst part of DS1.
Seriously what are you implying.
>>334250329
>S-stop! You're playing it wrong!!!
>>334246334
Thats not going to happen until there are balance changes. The Dark Sword shits on everything and the Bastard Sword is in second place. Heavy Dark Sword outdamages UGS.
Strength weapons only advantage is hyper armor, which i useless in PvP because of the start up frames, you can still get poked. So its basically Dark Souls: Swords edition featuring katanas occasionally.
All spell schools are also bad except maybe pyromancy. So the game is typical release dark souls balance and well see how quickly it gets patched, because Dark Souls was a mess forever and Dark Souls 2 got patches within the first like week. So its up in the air.
>>334250686
They nerfed pyromancy too? It's like the game developers hated everything I liked about DaS1.

It sounds like alot of the people complaining are just idiots who dont know how to play on a pc, I got a 970 meme and I never go below 60 on max settings, while I constantly hear people who have a 970 bitch about getting low frames
I'm pretty glad the bosses aren't as fucking boring as DS2's. You could only fight big humanoid man in armor for so long before it started getting stale.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I'm so glad this isn't just me. I'm not having fun with this game.
I'm not having fun.

-Dark Souls

Man, I knew I shouldn't buy this. Thanks for the heads-up OP
>>334251168
>forces melee fighters to use MP instead of stamina now
What? I started as a knight and I've yet to put a single point in attunement. True, I've used weapon skills, but I carry one mana estus on me all the time so if I need it, which I never really do, I can just chug it.
>>334251168
>>>the enemies have too much health
If they have too much health, you haven't upgraded your weapon or level enough. The only time I felt like an enemy had too much health is when I stumbled into the Dancer fight before even beating Pontiff. Most enemies go down to a single barrage.
>>you have too few Estus's
This is a minor complaint, and honestly I like how restricted they are even if I have the odd boss fight where one more sippy would have given me the win. The only issue is that it's not really possible to kill a lot of the bosses the first time because your estus is used up fighting your way to the fog door.
>>level design is shit
It's pretty good, actually. Lots of neat interconnected paths and shortcuts.
>>Fire Keeper is worst waifu in the series
Who cares? Yuria is better anyway.
>>too many stats; forces melee fighters to use MP instead of stamina now; dedicated defense stat; splits up defense and HP stat
There's the same amount of stats as always, increasing your HP increases defense, and sword arts shouldn't be used constantly anyway.

>>334251168
>the enemies have too much health
Do they? The fat ones do but most shit you can kill in two or three hits.
>you have too few Estus's
Nigga what, by the undead settlement I already had 7 between hp and magic, plus you can assign all of them to HP if you want.
>level design is shit
I love how the levels are somewhat linear but there are many things inbetween you and your goal. And they don't feel disconected like in DS2
>Fire Keeper is worst waifu in the series
Subjective, though I don't care about waifus
>too many stats; forces melee fighters to use MP instead of stamina now; dedicated defense stat; splits up defense and HP stat
If you mean it because of the weapon arts, I have barely used them and I'm doing fine.
>>334251489
I switched out the mana estus almost immediately, having an extra sippy is way more important than the odd time you try and bruteforce through an enemy with weapon arts.

>>334251687
Who gives a shit about that? The actual things you can spoil in DS are bonfire locations and shortcuts. Things like "dude, you fight a boss that's a humanoid with a sword" don't mean anything, and I haven't encountered any bosses yet with gimmicks to them that aren't instantly solvable anyway, like skeleton wojak and deacons.

That's a fucking lie. You're a filthy liar.
Normal enemies take 4 hits to kill, when they took two hits to kill in all the other games. I'm not talking about armor fighters, but just regular undead soldiers.

Not that guy but pretty much any point you put into any stat increases your defense one way or another.
>>334251882
>>Normal enemies take 4 hits to kill, when they took two hits to kill in all the other games.
What shit weapon are you using? All the weak trash takes 2, maybe 3 if you're a couple of damage points off.
>No it doesn't.
Yes, it does, I see the numbers going up. It's not an issue anyway, bosses aren't that damaging aside from obvious telegraphed moves.
I'm getting 60 fps on max settings on my laptop from a few years ago.. It's an alienware, but still, I don't think anyone with a 980 ti is having issues
>>334251970
No, it doesn't. Pay attention when you level up next time.
>>334251957
I did and she wasalright
The only area I had an actual problem with on my first run was Irithyll because of that fuckingcrocowolfand the 6 million hit combo some of the enemies do because it just infinitely stunlocks you. Also I'm finding sorcery a lot more useful now actually, at least for pve. Helps to thin out shit I don't want to deal with.
I do agree the infinite stamina/poise needs to go though. You don't even have time to get your own stamina back yet they can just wail on you forever. NPC invaders are worse than I've ever seen before.
>>334252006
>What shit weapon are you using?
The katana form the guy next to Fire Link.
> All the weak trash takes 2, maybe 3 if you're a couple of damage points off.
Not only is that not true, a charged up R2 attack often doesn't even kill enemies in one hit. It's bullshit.
Listen to everyone when they're saying ENEMIES HAVE TOO MUCH HP.

Anybody saying this game is optimized well is a retard. My 6950 smokes Dark Souls II at 80fps on full settings+. This game barely looks any better and I cant even crack 30fps on lowest settings.
>>334252082

Hilarious, I used the same fucking weapon and I was killing everything in 2 hits at the start. You know you can upgrade weapons, right? I'm pretty amazed you made it through 4 other games in the series without realizing that.

>>334252152
I summoned 3 sunbros and they got slaughtered in all of 3 seconds. afaik they have 0 poise so as long as you have enough stamina you can just keep swinging. They aren't even that hard it's just the insane combos they do.
>>334252172
Great is probably an exaggeration. Demon Ruins/Not Izalith is like a chalice dungeon with even worse enemies thrown literally everywhere.
The level design is markedly better than DaS/DeS/DaS 2 but the encounter design after undead settlement is basically ambush souls 2: electric boogaloo and it gets tiring after a while.
Also the balance is super garbo and the only useful weapons are straight swords and katanas.
>want the game
>can't justify shelling out 60€ + 25€ for a game that will probably have a GOTY/Complete edition come out in a year for 30€
Talked to the giant atop the tower.
Went halfway down and met Broknight.
Fought the Fire monster, but the knight said I should have waited. Killed chill monster below.
Went back to where I fought fire monster, died to Mozgus priests and called it a night.
Did I miss anything? What should I have waited for? Anything good in that area?
>>334252278
This so fucking much. People who summon two phantoms are bound to suck hard at the game, after all they aren't even playing it. Just separate them from their phantoms and they fall easily.

still easier than DaS2 though, that fucking game had me dying more often than playing das1 for the very first time
