What did it do wrong?
What did it do right?
i'm about level 100, and i more or less never get summoned for blue spirit stuff anymore. did i level up too fast?
biggest problem for me is the NPC quests being too hard to follow, especially compared to DaS1 and BB
>>334456468
>blue spirit
As if red spirits didn't have it hard enough.
>>334456767
unless the red spirit is being a cunt i usually try to duel them, but 80% of them hide behind mobs or chug sunny d

>>334456468
>nobody uses embers until bosses because of invaders
>blue sentinels rely on a covenant that people rarely use
>invasions are rare as hell as it is from red spirits even though it's really easy to invade
I'm surprised you were ever able to get summoned to blue sentinel invades
>>334456923
Red spirits get no ember bonuses, only 1/2 of their estus charges, and are usually summoned into a world with 1 or 2 co-op phantoms.
I'll take as many dang sippies as I want.
>>334457045
it was happening so often as to be nearly annoying earlier this week, but i'm not sure if its because people dropped the covenant or i outleveled all the shitters that use it.
>>334457140
blue spirits have the same downsides, except the wildlife is hostile instead of the host and his buddies.
also, on NG+ and i used the dried finger in high wall of lothric and had nonstop 2v2s, so that was pretty cool.
>>334455339
I honestly can't tell if this is a good game or not. It's fun for most of the time, but why are there so many enemies that are just complete bullshit? why are none of the bosses fun? it seems like they added all the bad parts of the last two games and just smashed into into bloodbourne.
>>334455339
Straight swords too strong, great swords/great weapons too weak. Not enough viable weapon types. The boss battles are super baller though
>>334457573
i'll add on to this and say that i don't know what poise does in this game, but if i'm wearing heavy ass armor, i shouldn't get stumbled by some retard with a butter knife poking my chest plate. as it stands, i'm pretty sure UGS are more or less worthless, because the only reason to use them in the first place was to stagger people and punish backstab fishers imo
>>334457881
straight swords do basically the same stagger and they attack much quicker, greatswords are pretty shit in ds3
>>334455339
>What did it do wrong?
-Some really terrible areas like Blighttown 3.0, Cathedral of the Deep and Lothric Dungeon
-Enemies that are way too agressive, have too much health and can kill you in 2 or 3 hits even with 30+ Vigor. This means the only viable playstyle is "Dodge, hit once, dodge, repeat". I haven't tried out sorcery but I imagine it's gonna be hell
-NPC questlines are confusing as hell.
-Greatswords are shit
-Armor can't be upgraded
-Waaaay too many upgrade gems if you ask me.
-Way too much reused shit. It didn't really bother me until I went to Anor Londo. Then I looked up the armor sets in DS3 and I swear half of them are from DS1.
>What did it do right?
-Well the world is huge and looks great at times
-Some boss battles are cool and different
-They didn't include any of the bullshit from DS2
Shit questlines, Miyazaki is such a fucking autist.
>>334457573
>straight swords too strong
That's great honestly,far better then DaS1 when only straight sword that mattered was Balder Swag Sword
>>334461279
>Armor can't be upgraded
How's this a negative?
Armor never really mattered in these games, might as well go full Fashion Soul
>>334463429
Do you really think that one person is responsible for every aspect of a game?
Say what you will about DS2, at least it didn't rehash half as much as this one did.
>>334461279
DS2 was just poorly thought out in every regard, especially in comparison to Dark Souls 1 and Demons Souls. I want to know if DS3 is this way, too.
>>334463662
>DS2 i now good
allright i had enough internet for today..bye
>using swords
>>334463586
Maybe, but I don't see why it's not in it.
>>334463702
DS3 is definitely better than DS2, maybe on par with DS1
>>334463765
But he's right.
I mean the hub area is literally called Firelink Shrine, Andre and Patches are back in, there are armor sets like Smough's and Solaire's for no reason, and you literally go back to Anor Londo.
>>334464275
The game even rehashes its own content. Untended Graves are copy/paste.
Admittedly, it's kind of cool from a "what the fuck" standpoint, but still.
>tfw trying to get that platinum trophy
>inb4 "trophies"
I only go for them in Souls games but there's so much grinding in this one. It's driving me batty.
>yfw the entirety of Irithyll Dungeon
>jailers draining your maximum health
>fucking screamers when you pick up items
Holy shit, fuck this entire unholy clusterfuck of an area. If it weren't for my trust great axe weaponfu I'd be camping for summon signs. That room with 6 jailers took me like 20 minutes of careful luring one by one to get through.
>mfw you can kill the priestess and fight dancer as the second boss/do the entire lothric castle segment before any of the other shit outside the walls
I thought it was bullshit when I first heard it, but it's a nice chunk of non linearity the game adds.
No idea how difficult it would be on a new character, tried it out on NG+
>>334463815
>using anything other
Why would you be a special snowflake?
Falling makes you look like a retard,but you can't argue that Crystal Cave's slippery bridges weren't bullshit
>>334455339
>What did it do wrong?
Multiplayer. They actually managed to make it worse by adding the chaotic neutral purple faggots
should i buy it?i have a 7870
>>334455339
Wrong?
>rehashed Bloodborne sounds, mobs
>most weapons have exactly the same weapon art, they are plain and boring, nothing compared to BB trick weapons
>supporting gank squads even more
>making it more casual because it is the easiest DS now
>the bosses/npcs are not memoriable and just rehashed ideas
>fast weapons are way to strong, making dex builds/ fast swords way to strong
Right?
>BB engine on 60 FPS+
>good OSTs
>some weapon ideas are good in theory but are total shit if you use them
if you are into Souls games it's still a fun and good game
RIGHT:
>estus
>lots of weapons
>decent encumbrance/rolling mechanics
WRONG:
>elevators don't automatically reset when you respawn at a bonfire
>second half the game is 90% red eye knights
>what the fuck are boss souls even for, let me use this shit already for sweet gear
>>334465109
I think the grapes are an interesting, but really they should have been given more room to be "ambiguous".
I mean right now you only get a vertebrae for killing the host, but what if you could get a vertebrae by helping the host with a boss?
The enemy behavior or placement is sometimes not any better than in 2. So many spinning enemies with long ass combos and they often come in groups. I like most of the areas but the enemy placement often makes me want to vomit.
>>334465109
Covenants in general seem a bit week.
Darkmoon blades and blue sentinels are the same thing, aldrich and farron wolves are also the same thing but they take place in different areas at least.
Mound makers are a nice idea but they need to be able to enter boss fog and then remove the ability to damage the host while in there.
I honestly think DaS1 did covenants the best and even that had problems, gravelords were great but could have been done better and not only appear on NG+
>>334465586
At least I've been invaded a couple times, which is more than I can say for the last several games. Demon's Souls was still the best though, lots of invasions back then.
Note that I am not a PvP fag. It is fun to have people show up for a 1v1 every now and then to make things intense though.
>>334465496
This.
Also they still haven't fixed the bullshit where enemy projectiles pass through other enemies and enemies can clip through walls but you can't.
Boss soul weapons are complete garbage.
You can't infuse or enchant them and they use a super rare resource to upgrade.
Meanwhile you can infuse normal weapons with scaling gems AND enchant them as well.
DS2 upgrade and enchanting system was much better
>>334465375
>>what the fuck are boss souls even for, let me use this shit already for sweet gear
You can get gear from boss souls pretty much immediately
>>334464781
Why not just book it to the end? Thats what i did in that room. I'm not dealing with 6 of those fucks
>>334466116
Is there even a way to deal with their health-melting stare?
Like I found out you can avoid the curse hands in the Grand Archviles by dipping your head in spunk, so I wonder if there's a way to null the jailers
>>334466103
apparently I missed it somehow
How do you farm embers in this game?
What do I do
What covenant should I equip
>>334466558
You didn't kill the boss in the Undead Settlement?
>>334465326
yes
>>334455339
Smouldering Lake
The End
>>334466670
I have the item, I don't know where the npc is
>>334466710
Oh, it's the old lord guy on the throne in Firelink
>>334466740
wait he's on one of the small thrones? that's pretty fucking dumb
Networking is totally fucked at the moment
It seems really easy to heal in PvP
It's really easy to get locked out of a certain covenant
Everything else I am liking, but frankly not being able to co-op is a pretty massive deal so I hope they sort this shit soon
>>334466901
Yeah, it is a little bit
Farron Woods is making me want to stop.
But then I went up
Way up.
Holy shit that was cool.
But still. I have no fucking idea what to do in the swamp other than spam dagger dash. I know I gotta take out the fires, but I can't find paths to help me look.
>>334467584
Just pick a direction and go around the perimeter
>>334467683
Is there anything I can do about the poison?
Great level design (especially 2nd half)
Fun combat
Cool bosses
Bosses too easy
Game too short
Demon ruins a shit
>>334467743
chin it
>>334467820
Fuck I hate that. It's like going through lava parts of Metroid without the Varia Suit.
>Firelink maidens aren't supposed to have eyes
Since fucking when? I never heard about this shit in DaS1 or 2. This is more bullshit than Kojima.
>>334465109
It was kinda lame how pvp is 90% ganksquads, and turns into a clusterfuck 30 seconds.
>>334466689
The scripted snake was pretty retarded
Is Priscilla in this game or not? I keep hearing she is..
>They removed poison arrows
I guarantee you it's because they wanted the twin dragon faggots and the bullshit worm of fire shithole to be as annoying as possible.
>>334468282
They didn't remove poison arrows
>>334468282
Patches sells them, but those dragons were immune anyway..seems like most tough mobs were immune which was retarded
>>334467584
If you look up at the sky you can sometimes see big towers with flames, that's where the fires are
