It seems a little short and the area density wanes a bit towards the end. I'm not sure if it's just because I powered through the game, but I beat it at 40 hours, which is 20 -30 less than both 1 & 2. Sure, I missed some stuff, but the overall selection of areas seems much smaller this time around.

Level design is probably the best yet.
Bosses are all great.
The lore that's there seems solid enough.

Dislikes:
My biggest one is that they completely fucked up the balancing of the different builds, I don't think balance has been this shit since the invisible ninjaflipping lightning haveldads of unpatched dark souls 1 yore. Quality builds are pretty much by far the best, pure dex has some options and everything else sucks complete dick. For example, my favourite build in dark souls 1 and 2 was using a heavy ultra greatsword and stacking a lot of poise so I could just ignore small attacks and smack the shit out of people. Here they nerfed poise to the ground while at the same time buffing the shit out of the damage output of faster weapon classes like straight swords, so why the fuck would you even bother with a greatsword let alone an ultra greatsword?

Don't even get me started about casters, I get that casters were easy mode in DS 1 and 2 so they probably wanted to tone it down a bit but now you hit like a wet noodle till you invest a ridiculous amount of stats in being a caster, and even then your damage output is shit compared to a quality build. Plus you can forgot about PvP, unless your opponent is retarded you're not going to be hitting anything with your slow-ass cast speed, huge stamina cost on spells and non-existant poise while casting. The only sorceries I've had some succes hitting people with is farron flashsword and rarely soul greatsword, but at that point why not use a real sword and actually do damage at no mana cost? Plus if you want to cast you have to sacrifice valuable estus charges too, because fuck casters I guess.

Other than that there was a bit too much dark souls 1 referring in the lore too, people gave DS2 shit for having to many DS1 references but here it's just retarded, I'm pretty sure 75% of the lore in this game boils down to "HEY GUYS REMEMBER THIS COOL DARK SOULS THING???"

Covenants are shit too.
>>
Too linear
Too easy
Not enough interesting loot. items, weapons etc.
I mean yyou find all these key ash items to give to a vendor and it ends up being absolutely nothing.
A lot of it feels pointless, I dont even feel the need to use any of the items the game gives you. I just need a sword and that's about it.
And new game + is pretty much nonexistant besides + rings, I'm not noticing a difference, enemies don't even seem harder

I agree with everything you said except swords being the end all of builds. If you know how to play the game, you can abuse the fuck out of hyper armor and punish r1 smashers by outrading hits and mind games, and if you get a parry any moment, you will be one shotting them with hornet ring.

You can't just go in there, smashing r1 with an ugs and expect the same result than a longsword dood. And if you are very VERY delusional to think that current situation is as worse than das 1 and das 2 unpatched. Nothing will be worse than dark magic one shotting you or having absolutely no way of dealing with someone that will take 80% of your hp, whenever you do anything

This is the one point that I really agree with. Since this was the third installment I get this feeling that they felt like they had to crank everything to 11. The best and most gratifying moments in DS3 where when you were up against a humanoid enemy that felt like a PVP match.

Nah mate i seen some wizards doing some funny shit with soulstream, one shotting ganks from miles away with obscuring ring. I just want to know where is the tipping point to do that much damage

I agree with you, magic for the most part suck literally dogshit and you need to invest a ton, but since when was magic ever viable? You always had to complement it with your weapon and play mind games with people to hit them. From will buff magic, i'm sure of it and they will nerf longswords and such. They gave a deserving buff to greatswords last patch, so it is just a matter of time.
>>
>>335399073
Gotthardt's winblades seem alright. You need to find a chance to land the l1 which can be a bitch, but when you do you can combo that into a full weapon skill for 1000+ damage. Also has that nice rolling poke the twinspears do, and your right buttons is a standard longsword moveset. I usually play it like a longsword with a better poke, then if I get low throw out a l1 as I run away. Catches most people, thinking I'm gonna heal. But man oh man are they bad against stocs and katanas.

>>335403674
>They gave a deserving buff to greatswords last patch

Greatswords are still shit

>>335403072

The game was obviously rushed, which is why the balance is all over the place. This installment had the worst bosses of the series by far except for Lothric and the last one because they are pushovers. Pontiff just reminds me of everything that was wrong with dark souls 2 and made it into dark souls 3 increased tenfold.

I had WAY more trouble with the minibosses or even the regular enemies in the way to the boss.

They were designing bloodborne ever since they finished Artorias of the Abyss, so the game had a nice development time and got expanded upon later. Whereas Dark Souls 3 just came out of nowhere and released in a clearly untested state. The game even has multiple walls where you can just walk through and go below the rest of the scenery, it's ridiculous.

In PvE magic has been OP since Demon's Souls

I don't understand why the community is giving From a free pass on the enemy design. The bosses are fine but the enemies do basically all the shit that was incredibly annoying about dark souls 2 cranked up to 11.

Infinite poise? Check.
Ridiculous amounts of stamina? Check.
Large groups of enemies? Check.
Majority of the enemies being dudes in different types of armour? Check.

At this point I'm starting to suspect all the dark souls 2 hate is people quoting that one youtube video with the Irish fag rather than a conclusion people came to themselves.

Lots of interesting new mechanics, I like weapon arts and the Estus vs Ashen Estus systems. Lots of great bosses with some good variety to them. I like that you can finally buy chunks and there's plenty of slabs in a Miyazaki Souls game. Some really cool vistas and areas, and I like that you can kill an NPC to skip right to the end-game areas.
Greirat's cool. Rings seem a lot more balanced, I can't point to any as a "must wear". A full Red Eye Orb, available at a point much earlier than it was in Das1.

>Dislikes
A lot of fights, mostly against larger enemies, still have big camera issues. Too many rehashed ideas and characters from previous Souls games, with little or no change to them purely as fanservice. Several covenants overlap and have zero commitment whatsoever to them. NPC questlines can be very obtuse, requiring things like backtracking to areas you wouldn't need to return to, or activating NPCs at very specific moments that can be permanently missed. Summoning a third phantom is pretty absurd in a series where two phantoms already made it a cakewalk, and is in no way offset by the extra potential invader. Too many stationary, high-health and high-damage enemies (Drakes, giants, giant worm) where the best, if not only, solution is to pelt them with ranged weapons until they die. Never really felt explained what it meant to be "unkindled", and how despite being something worse than a hollow you retain your sanity and physical appearance.

I hope the DLC does something new. So much of the game already is just callbacks to DS1, it'd be disappointing to have the DLC just be another one.

>>335403674
It's just the one in a dozen video they show you without showing you the other 300 times they failed and you got impressed by it. Use dusk's crown, magic clutch ring and the other two other dragon rings to boost magic. You'll only ever one-hit phantoms with low HP, which were the videos that you got exposed to.

Soul Stream is just gimmicky garbage. I've already gone this road with my int glass cannon as well and got disappointed.

>both dragoncrest rings
>magic clutch ring in irithyll
>court sorcerer catalyst from the guy that drops logan's scroll

try boosting int up to about 55 as well for the catalyst to become the best in the game

soul stream has high damage, but is only good if you're a coop phantom with time to cast it and lots of fp, GHSA is great for spam against bosses and with this set up can 1 shot most random enemies

crystal homing soulmass is great in pvp for setting up other spells if you time it right, sometimes catches people by surprise and hits for good damage as well

if you invade, you can also using obscuring ring+spook and out of nowhere, 5x crystal soulmasses and a crystal soulspear for instant kill, will also work with soul stream

you can also punish chuggers with great soul arrows, especially with high dex/sages ring

make a crystal halberd, the moveset compliments your spells quite nicely (pokes and a sweep) and has great damage (with 60 int, and +9, it has more than 300 magic damage and ~140 physical).

this is how I played my int build so far, and I win most invasions, even the 3v1 ones if I snipe the host

Besides, the problem with magic lies much more in its moveset than even its damage. They can increase the damage all you want, you won't still hit a single person with your 2890374089321740917409 versions of soul arrow no matter what.

Pyromancy is the only remotely good branch of magic in this game. I even tried using Dead Again, which was OP as fuck in dark souls 2 and would usually one shot the host, only to find out they chose the clever design path to make it literally not work against other players at all whatsoever.

Magic will only be viable if they buff the farron spells but even then you are still losing your time because you'll still be wasting mana to hit with an attack that does less damage, is slower and way more obvious than literally any other weapon in the game.

The only time From Software got magic right was in Bloodborne. After they revamped it with The Old Hunters rebalance patch, it got fucking outstanding. These games shouldn't put you casting some shitty slow ass blue arrow from 50 miles away, it should be stuff more in line with Augur of Ebrietas and your ranged spells should look like Executioner's gloves, the cursed head and A Call Beyond. It was also the build that could use the biggest amount of weapons by making them do elemental damage with gems.

In Dark Souls 3 they obviously just copypasted the same shitty spells from the other games without changing anything about them and called it a day. It's a rushed hackjob.

Something to do with the primordial serpents. Granted I think this is likely considering Frampt was the angelic figure of Lothric and Kaathe is worshipped in Londor.

Love it

Been hooked on this series since DS 1. Would love to play DeS and BB, but I'm not willing to buy ps 4 just for two games.
Just beat DS 3 today and took the hollow lord ending. Not going to NG+ yet until I explore more of the areas further as well as beat the nameless King.
Loved the music, the boss fights and some of the tough non boss characters. Personally enjoy the pvp especially the duel arena after pontiff. Was able to complete both rosarian and sun bro reqs.

My only complaint is the specifics you need to know for some npc storylines and to get the most out of them.

This game has been fun as fuck and I look forward to the dlc. i can see myself playing this game daily and will make my next character magic based even if it's underpowered at lower levels.

Tl;dr it's a fun game.

Manus fragments were fucking stupid.

The Dark Soul already was that. They didn't need to make up something else. Every single human was a fragment of Manus because they had pieces of the dark soul.

Either way it's going to be about Londor. The dark lord ending literally goes, "make Londor whole again."

We're going to get Artorias of the Abyss 2.0 where you go back in time to when Londor fell.

This is the problem and why I never wished for a Dark Souls 2. They should make new settings with new mechanics. Just look at Bloodborne. Everything feels fresh and unique and they actually had to put in some effort instead of doing this ctrl+c ctrl+v hackjob that was dark souls 3.

You don't say. This is Namco Souls after all and the game had a season pass before it even came out.

This is why as much as I love playing at 60 fps on PC, I think these games are in MUCH better hands when From Software is partnering with Studio Japan from Sony. The feeling I've got out of Dark Souls 3 is that it was made to fulfill a contractual obligation instead of being a thing made with passion, time and patience.

Realistically it's just going to be New Londo after it was pushed to the surface or some shit because the NPCs mention several times that every linking of the flame changed the geography and time converging shit.

Although I 100% disagree with your last statement because mathewmathosis said absolutely NOTHING new in that video that /v/ wasn't already saying for weeks beforehand, except for his rants about the sex of the MC in the opening cutscene, I am still baffled that no one is calling dark souls 3 out on its bullshit.

It took everything that made dark souls 2 fucking ass and multiplied it by 5.

Mimics and ambushes are meant to be surprises and a surprise can only be such a thing if it's unexpected, that means not being the norm. Instead, the only times I felt surprised in this game was when I found a chest that was actually a fucking chest and when I entered a room and picked up an item in the ground without having 500 enemies rain on my head all at the same time as if these mindless hollows supposedly knew I was coming beforehand, when, through where and how because they were tracking me through fucking facebook on their medieval smartphones. The enemies in this game didn't have lives of their own, it's as if their entire purpose lied in stand perfectly in place as to gank and ambush your ass every 5 steps.

You know what this reminds me? That fucking zombie at the cemetery in resident evil 6 that for NO fucking reason whatsoever is just standing there with its hands on a lever, carefully waiting for you to go by so it could activate it and make you fall down. I almost went blind because my eyes refused to stop staring at the back of my skull right then and there.

The game even has fucking screamers of all things in those cells at the prison for no fucking reason whatsoever other than farming cheap reactions like those shitty uninspired horror games do for fuck's sake.. Just how fucking CHEAP can you get?

Love it. My only issue is that the camera gets wonky as fuck sometimes and the cat ring that lets you survive fall damage is very inconsistent.

Based on Dark Souls 2, the relatively slight pvp imbalances will be fixed within the next 6-8 months and the PVP will then become phenomenal, just in time for the DLC.

I hope the DLC lets us go to Londor and explains some lore stuff, specifically with the primordial serpents, what makes unkindled different from other undead, and what the deal with the Dark Fire Link shrine is.

My one and only real complaint about the game is the lack of more dialogue. It's annoying that the hub npcs barely say anything after you've spoken to them for the first time.
It's the (and also one and only real complaint) I had about Bloodborne; fuck-all dialogue.

At least there's some pretty awesome NPC questlines.

Besides that It's probably one of my two favorite Souls games.

Mate matthewmatosis and everyone who agrees with him, a self proclaimed "lvideo game"critic", are dumbasses. Nothing he said in his garbage video made dark souls 2 bad, and none of it makes dark souls 3 bad. His incompetence does not make things bad, and niether does yours.

Near infinite sippies that completely fill your healthbar that can be drunk at instant speed? No.

To make it worse, half of the reason why magic is so bad is that HP and FP share the same flasks -- why cut your effective health in half just to cast some spells that do less damage than R1 spam? If the game gave you some Ashen flasks that could only be used for FP, you'd have a reason to invest in magic to put them to use.

The fact they gave it to streamers 3 weeks in advance only made my suspicion worse.

The game is literal gold and I have no idea how it has so little recognition compared to how great it is. The only real fault I can find with it is the number of weapons in the game, but even that is offset by the fact that all of them are viable and most are 2 in 1.

>To make it worse, half of the reason why magic is so bad is that HP and FP share the same flasks
No, half the reason magic is so bad is because the spells themselves are easy as fuck to avoid in PVP and the other half is how little damage they do. Leveling Attunement does not supply enough FP or slots, honestly, but that doesn't mean that splitting health and magic for estus is a bad thing. And honestly chugging in general is a big HIT ME sign, use low health for mindgames.

>compare taht to Demon Soul's and Dark Souls 1

Compare it to Bloodborne, which came right before it. You simply won't find a single thing in dark souls 3 that is as intense as this and it's the theme of the first fucking boss you'll most likely meet first:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-doUT5q_dYc

The music of Orphan of Kos made my heart rush and it perfectly into the music. The ones from Ludwig, The One Reborn, Blood-starved Beast and the like are fucking outstanding works. They feels so goddamn professional. In fact the whole sound design part of Bloodborne felt amazing to me.

In Dark Souls 3 the only three tracks that I can even remember were the ones from the princes, which was all around a great boss fight by the way; the one from the second form of the final boss; and the second theme of firelink shrine. The game might as well be muted for the rest of the playthrough.

Animation is faster, yes. The health recovery does not surpass what was capable in 1 or 2, and the upgrade system for health in 1 was a hassle. Kindling every fire for 20 heals was basically just a way to ensure that you could faceroll every boss and be fine, and with how poise worked you could chug freely.

I do miss shooting people healing to get parries off in BB, I wish you could stagger someone mid sip with arrows or something.

Andre actually has some ground, the devs in DaS 1 meant for him to be the Firstborn, he would then push the statue at Firelink aside revealing a staircase to where you put the teleporting soul tortilla bowl.

It's also why he's the only one with moving lips.

Yes and how does him cloning him self equal any boss in dark souls 2 besides the dark lurker who is arguable one of the best bosses in the game.

I like the game, I hate the fans. Hopefully the DLC bridges exactly happen that shifted the situation that we were able to become kindled instead of unhollowed.

I don't know if I can bring myself to buy the DLC after playing the main game. Dark souls 3 is better than 2 but worse than 1. I feel like it was also them mixing in BB combat with souls which made the game feel weird. The original dark souls had a soul but methodical pacing to the combat. Dark souls 3 tried to find a middle ground between bloodborne and Dark Souls. I don't think they should have done this because it just doesn't feel like Dark Souls anymore it feels like a weird Frankenstein monster in terms of combat. The locations felt like a greatest hits album and so did the bosses.

While I'm speaking in hyperbole, it remains true that this has to be your first DS3 thread if you've never seen the complaints about how fast sipping is in DS3. You're the one claiming there's no difference.

>>335409595
Most people don't even remember dubs, but I can still see them from time to time. Like yours.
>>
>>335408802
Most enemies pick their attacks based on where you are in relation to them. If you learn what they do at a longer distance first, you are much safer when backing off to heal. The carthus bloodring is also great for dodging, it makes the roll ridiculously good. That said, it's usually a good idea to go ham and just stunlock everyone to death in this game.

>and I have no idea how it has so little recognition compared to how great it is

Because it's an exclusive and since it's sony the pcuck/nintendrone/xbot defense force got butthurt as all fuck, specially pcucks, who were already shitting HEAVILY on it when we only had the name of the goddamn project of all things.

I actually wanted them to port it to PC because it would be fucking hilarious witnessing the poorfags who can only own one platform so they bought some shitty pc with an fx 6300 and a 750ti and start parroting reddit with the master race cringeworthy shit pull a complete 180 and start loving the game.

Dark Souls 3 felt like a direct downgrade in every direction except for level design. One thing though, the loot in this game is fucking garbage because every single fucking thing in the ground is a useless shard that halfway through the game I really wasn't feeling like exploring anymore, so even though they got it right with branching and wide open paths, they fucking murdered exploration. I can't fucking understand why they put all the unique loot in two fucking npcs instead of scathering some of that shit in places.

The worst part to me was in the swamp where you have those three gianormous dragon witches guarding an item and you go through to hell to get there only to find a fucking poison shard. I flipped my shit. Ironically enough, you get the somewhat worthwhile loot by killing one of them instead. They totally shat the bed in this regard.

The fact that sidequests require fucking backtracking to areas you've already beaten in order to progress them is downright amateurism right there.

Thats not the problem, you get one shot anyway in all SL1 runs in any game.

The bosses just aren't very fun to fight. Twin Princes for example is a tedious fuckfest with RNG based teleports.

It doesn't have any risky shit or higher mechanics like Beast blood pellets, RTSR is useless and the only thing you will ever use is the bandits knife and astoras sword
both of which amount to dull R1 spam.

It really is and you can even see for yourself right here, just hop over to /vg/. If you go to /dsg/ right now and ask if someone wants to help you in something or just tag along, they curse you and do the usual /v/irgin anal leak barrage attack on you and it's nothing but shitty memes all the way through. Whereas if you go in the slow ass /bbg/ right now you'll always find people willing to discuss something or do something in-game effortlessly.

Bloodborne's community reminds me of the good old days of Demon's Souls before PC took a permanent dump on it.

Every Souls game has immense healing potential you buffoon.

What you should be complaining about is Lloyd's Talismans being useless pieces of shit this time around, which is the main issue. You would know this if you actually went into DaS3 threads.

Which is why it's all the more important that sipping be slow and punishable like I claimed. This is objectively the worst incarnation of estus yet you claim it's the best because of a minor quality of life improvement that was already in DS2.
