Has everyone forgotten about Dark Souls 3 already? I haven't seen any threads in a while.
>>341650102
I preordered at christmas and still havent opened the box, i think im depressed
Played 113 hours in the first week and got burned out so hard I won't touch it until the DLC is out.
>>341650102
Finished once. It's garbage.
I can't beat the final boss after he gets his little brother to cast magic for him.
Fucking fucks.
The guys even mock me after I die.
>this spot marks our grave, but you may rest here, if you like
Fucking bullshit. Help me guys.
>>341650102
Burnt out on it after 400 hours
>>341651134
That's not the final boss.
Also you are a shitter.
I did tbqhfam
It felt like a Dark Souls Lite, or something. I got like 25 hours out of my first playthrough, like 7 out of my 2nd and that was kind of it. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.
>>341651134Thats not the final boss
It's kinda bad, to be honest. It's the weakest in the series.
>>341650857
Same story for me.
>>341651328

>>341651397
Only Bloodborne is better
>>341651538
I'm at work now
>>341650102
PvP is shit
and I dont care about honorabru duels
invasions invariably turn into 2-4 v 1, and there is no fun in that
no poise, which mean that light wepaon spam is king, especially since shields dont deflect attacks anyome and are shit at blocking
Phantom range
rolling rolling rolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rollingrolling rolling
etc...
I had less fun in pvp in Ds3 than Ds2

Summon.
>>341651569
You know what, I don't even have a PS4, but what I played of Bloodborne over at a friend's house was incredible. The atmosphere is amazing, and DaSIII is severely lacking in that aspect.
>>341651693
Learn to use hyperarmor retard
There's nothing to talk about, everyone's waiting for the DLC.
>>341651693
The PvP is really bad.
Not just the PvP, actually. The entire game feels floaty as fuck. Since you can spam roll at under 70% equip load and there's no poise. You feel no weight to your character at all.
>>341651397
>>341651569
let's start this shit again shall we
DS1>BB>DS3>>>>>>stale cum>>>>>>>DS2
>>341650857
Overwatch burned me out on it. I played nearly 200 hours playing every day for about 2 weeks, then I played overwatch during the weekend closed beta in april. Kept having the urge to play overwatch so when it finally released I pretty much played nothing but that and forgot about DS3.
Still like it but damn, I have way too many games and I can't decide what to play. Thank god I have almost no backlog.
>>341651879
2 is better than 3. It had good PvP, and it has an identity, it atempted new things. It actually pushed the series forward, 3 feels like a step back. Too much borrowing from the first game.
>>341651879
BB>DaS3=DaS1>DeS>literal shit>DaS2
Great game but the replayability is lacking desu. NG+ is terrible and feels like a slog to get through. Also the pvp gets boring when everyone just uses ss
>>341651879
DS1 = DS3 > Bloodborne > DS2
I also love ds2
bored in 48
ds2 had 200
das had 950 something
des probably the same
>>341650102
thats because souls have always been a forced meme, and 3 isn't good enough to keep the forced bullshit alive
miazaki has always been a total hack
>>341650102
I am still playing DS2.
It is simply more fun to play.
>>341652079
DS2 had serious problems, but at least it tried to do something new
DS3 is fanservice, the game
Its funny how the new game put Ds2 in perspective
>>341652079
2 was 10 steps backs in all directions from ds1. it didn't had good pvp.
>>341652275
>ds2
>not fan service the game
ds2 have much more fan service than ds3. Also, ds3 didn't tried to do something new, it WANTED to do something new, but namco made they do just a ds1 copy:solaire references edition
>>341652275
>but at least it tried to do something new
It did a lot of things actually.Someone should make a list of all the stuff they implemented.The amount of mechanics and special boss/level stuff they added is staggering when compared to DS1 and DS3.
>>341650102
>Has almost no replay-ability
>Shitty online PvP
>Not nearly challenging enough.
>Broken stats and weapons everywhere.
>Broken covenants.
I put almost a hundred hours into it, but unless they're going to fix a ton of things and add a lot with the DLCs I don't feel like playing through it a third time.
>>341652392
>it didn't had good pvp.
>I play Dark Souls for the pvp
>>341652392
keep believing that
Ds2 was for all intent and purposes a new IP with the Dark Souls name.
Ds3 want to be Ds1 and Bloodborne at the same time and fail in both way because these two game are mutually exclusive
>>341651879
OH>Sotfs>Aota>Das>Das2>BB
Haven't played Des or Das3 at least not yet.I even liked Sotfs more than OH but since OH is really top notch on quality I cannot deny it's rightful first spot.
I haven't finished this game... It's boring as fuck. I was so hyped, coming from the first game, I skipped 2 waiting for it. I didn't spoil myself out of anything, pre-ordered the game and was playing day 1.
The first few hours were incredible, High Wall of Lothric was a really great area, very atmospheric and fun to explore. After that though the game kind of went downhill.
The areas that come after are boring and uninspiring. After going through a bunch of "old ruin" and church areas, and rehashed Anor Londo, I was already burned out.
So I beat Aldrich, and thought Irythill Dungeon was optional, so I wend there and woops I just found the last Lord of cinder. It felt like they ran out of time and threw him there.
So I stopped right after killing the Yhorm. Does the game get any better after him? I saw some screenshots from a desert area that had bright blue skies and it looked great.
>>341652552
When he says PvP he means the online component in general.In DS II everyone from the PvP guys to the sunbros were able to enjoy themselves with fun covenants that worked like the bell and the rats.
And there were PvE covenants too for people who were more into the offline experience.
I have time to play it only on weekends, i cannot play it on my laptop but im patient
>>341650102
I've beaten the game 4 times now. I enjoy playing with different builds and trying new places to invade and stuff. It stays interesting if you try different covenants, side quests, etc..
that being said, it's NOT hard enough. if anything the alligator things in anor londo in that basement are just too fucking cheap besides when i went pure INT and wrecked them.
There's just no asshole-clinching moments like in Dark Souls 1 or even 2 desu.
>>341650857
Same, the fact that it's soo linear kills it for me, at least till the DLC drops.
DS2 lasted way more because you could do the 4 lord souls in any order and that added to the replayability a ton before the DLC hit.
>>341652952
It's true. I was disappointed. The infinite roll spam invincibility makes the game too easy.
>>341651134
Summon a cuck.
Don't summon 2/3, the boss gets too much HP and it makes it harder 90% of the time.
>>341651879
DS2 > DS3
Miyazaki got old.
>>341652518
you are just describing the first ds2 before soft was released.
>>341652552
I don't and i didn't said i do, retard
>>341652682
ds2 killed the souls franchise
bad npcs, retarded hitboxes, floaty gameplay, 90% of bosses and enemies are awful
ds3 is not 10/10 but without doubt is better than ds2.
ds2 could be good but it failed on all aspects at the end after hyping everyone
if it at least looked good like the beta, and not literally worst than demon's souls...
>>341651134
Gwyn is the final boss, not Lothric
>>341653226
>implying miyazaki wanted to do ds3
>implying ds3 development didn't started without him
>implying he didn't only joined the team to make sure it won't be as bad as ds2 was
>>341653260
>you are just describing the first ds2 before soft was released.
I'm really not, since even base game DaS2 had a better NG than DaS3 does, I also remember covenants working just fine.
>>341651134
what r u, casul?
>>341653570
I wish it was as "bad" as DS2 because even vanilla DS2 had more stuff to do and discover after a first playthrough.
DS3's PvP is shit, build variety is shit, there's way less spells than in 2, weapon moveset variety is shit.
The DLC has a lot of work to do.
Because it's shit.
Gimmick bosses out the ass.
Rehashed weapons and armors.
Enemy variety is awful. Most enemies are generic undead.
It was talked about in it's release month, then swept aside by something new. Now the only threads about it on /v/ are shitposting ones. You'll have to brave /vg/ to talk about it.
Just like every fucking game on /v/.
>>341650102
Yes. Game is incredibly boring. Ni challenge, no environment, every area feels like it should have been 10x larger. The DLC is probably going to be shit, too.
>>341653260
>DS2 bad hitbox meme
>can literally dodge every attack in the game with base SL1 ADP
>>341653226
Miyazaki prefered the fast paced style of gameplay of DeS and Bloodborne, and tried to implement in the Dark Souls serie.
But while DeS and BB gameplay was made around that fact, the DaS3 gameplay is better suited to 1v1 slow(er) methodical combat.
Poise was en excellent system for DaS because it gave you more variables to play around.
Even if it was too easy to crank it up without penalties i.e. fatrolling
The multiplayer aspect is made for 2+v2 in a game that is better suited for 1v1
Its too easy to gank invader and red phantom cannot relie on any mechanics to counter ganksquad.
Basically, Miyazaki has no one to tell him that his ideas sucks and that he should tone them down.
Hes the George lucas of videogames and DeS, DaS and BB are the original trilogy and Ds2 and 3 are the prequels
>>341654102
Don't bother.
A lot of noobs found DS2 too hard without those i-frames so they are shitting on the game.
You should see the salt when they start talking about soul memory.
>>341654102
0:15
he got grabbed, but because the way the hitboxes work in this game are fucking retarded, you have to wait to be grabbed to dodge so i frames can save you, otherwise you will be teleporter
>bad hitbox meme
>this bullshit
>Not bad
>>341651914
I'm similar, save for the fact that I have a huge backlog and Overwatch and Dark Souls 3 are the only games on it I've been playing.
>>341654102
Not entirely clear how a guy being 3 feet away from the enemy qualifies as good hitboxes.
>>341654580
never had something like this happen to me in around 800 hours playtime.
>>341654580
Nope, you just have to roll very late if you don't have ADP.
DS2 is like DS1 in that sense that it's not for noob roll spammers like most of DS3 and the first half of BB.
Nice example webm of a noob roll spammer that dodged like 2 seconds too early, what a sad sight.
>>341654463
Soul memory was an interesting concept. Basically it meant that the ones who did the playthrough flawless had the best rating and thus the easiest matchmaking in pvp. The problem i found was that you had to stop doing pve shit whenever you reached your desired build/equipment, or face higher leveled/better equiped players in the same matchmaking tiers thanks to the souls you gained. Agape was a solution, but really? You have to give up a ring slot just to not mess up your build for pvp? Thats a flaw.
>>341654580
>be shit at rolling
>join champion's covenant
That must be DSP.
>>341652727
You've finished like 3/4 of the game. After is Lothric Castle and the Grand Archives, which are my favorite levels with a lot of elevators and interconnected design. There's also two optional areas you get access to from within.
The desert area is one of those optional areas.
Best bossfight of the game at the end of it. Area itself is OK, decent level design and palatable length. Great atmosphere.
>>341655209
They should've just made SM only count the souls you spend at a shop or at the Herald.
Best of both worlds.
Its funny how the entire community hyped the game up so much but the fatigue set in faster than any past title. Face it guys you burnt yourself out. you put countless hours into the first. you put countless hours into the second(although you wont admit it on /v/) you put countless hours into bloodborne. and you then marathoned them all and solely played souls games for the month and a half leading up to 3, THEN you only played 3 for the 2 or 3 weeks after it came out.
You've played it so much that all possible fun the game could have had wasn't their because you were burnt out before you even popped the game in.
>>341655209
No you have to give up a slot only if you want to keep a certain sm and twink there.If you don't plan on twinking you just progress with everyone else forward and evolve your build accordingly.
>>341652727
The good bosses are after Yhorm and Aldrich.
Also go play DS2, it's better in many ways, worse on a few.

>>341652275
I agree. Dark Souls 2 with all the DLC/Scholar of the First Sin is a damn good entry.
However, I feel like with DLC Dark Souls 3 is going to be the best of the series overall. Just like how Dark Souls 2 vanilla managed to be worse than Dark Souls 1 with DLC.
These games are nothing without the DLC to correct the shitty decisions and time constraints.
For now to me: Dark Souls 1 with DLC>Dark Souls 2 with DLC>Dark Souls 3>Dark Souls 1>Dark Souls 2
>>341655425
No.
SM is a great deterrent for people who overuse the soul eating hexes.

>>341654958
I like how you're so salty about rolling that you call it roll spammers. Instead of r1'ing your rapier until your stamina runs out, why not try charging a strong attack, baiting them into an attack or even vary the timing of your attacks? Just like every other pvp in existence, you cant be mad for someone using a certain tactic. You should be mad at yourself for not being able to deal with it
>DS2 comes out and has little to no fanservice
>everybody hates it for it
>DS3 comes out and has fanservice
>everyone hates it for it
>>341655482
Probably. I KNOW that I was on hype overload in the first weeks, and I couldn't stop playing it, but I must have gobbled it up too fast and now it just sits there, being uninteresting.
That being said I have over 200 hours in it, and few games can bring me up to that.
>>341650102
Beat it about 4 times and put 40 or 50 hours into pvp worth the money but moved on to witch dlc, and overwatch
>>341650857
>16 hours a day playing a game
holy fuck how do you even manage that?
I got bored it after my first NG+.
The whole darkmoom and aldritch faithful summing thing puts me off playing since you need items from all factions to get the trophies.
It really turned me off the game so I will wait until DLC.
>>341651134
I don't understand how you people have a problem defeating the princes, they're one of the easiest boss fight.
All their attacks are so fucking telegraphed, I don't understand how you can even get hit. Just stand behind them and whack at the younger brother.
>>341655482
>although you wont admit it on /v/
I'll admit it.I like DS2 a lot.
>>341655816
I'm not salty about rolling, but in DS3 and BB rolling/dashing barely costs any stamina and randomly mashing roll works too well for most of the game, unlike DS1 and DS2.
And in PvP it's a fucking mess when you have a guy against a corners and he just rolls in place dodging 5+ attacks.
>>341655849
It's called Zelda Syndrome.
>>341650102
In terms of straight up level design, it's one of the best in the series.
Let's look at it solely on an area to area basis.
DeS had great areas because they were disconnected and essentially full on Mario style. They could be built without having to worry about anything but making a good level.
DaS had a fantastic interconnected world which gave it high replay value, but too many people equate replay value with quality. Literally half of the game's areas are mediocre to bad because they had to be designed to not only loop around themselves, but loop around the ENTIRE game world, plus the endgame was obviously rushed.
DaS2 is bad and we don't talk about it. Do not reply to DaS2 posters.
BB is somewhere between DeS and DaS. There's no master key that lets you skip straight to all the endgame areas from the start or anything, but you've got options, and pretty much no weak areas whatsoever. Forbidden Forest's shortcuts make me jizz every time.
DaS3 returns to the DeS style and has, again, a Mario-style linearity in all of its areas which makes the individual areas all good (except demon ruins holy shit). The problem is, it dresses things up like it's open, when in reality it barely is at all.
The only significant skip in the game is rushing the Dancer, and even then, that's a really hard thing to pull off and only gets you a few good lategame items early on, nothing like rushing Darkroot for Grass Crest and Elite knight.
Ultimately, DaS3 has the best design of the bunch and there's almost no full-on bad areas in the game. But the linear focus to make those areas so good eliminates replay value which hopefully the DLC will add some more of.
Basically, Bloodborne a best.
>>341655507
So upgrading different sets of armor and weapons for the sake of variety or just doing more playthroughs with the same character to see how far you can get without starting the same build anew is called twinking now?
>>341653068
>go back to DaS1 because of global reset day
>can't dodge for shit
>use up all my stamina a lot
>can't time i-frames without going to fastroll
DaS3 ruined me
>>341654205
>slow(er) methodical combat.
Shouldn't you be making your "its up" threads?
If you used a hand axe or anything that wasn't a mid-late game strength weapon the game isn't as slow as you may think.
>Four Kings is an example of a boss that demonstrates slow methodical combat
>New Londo ghosts are slow and methodical and totally don't spam attacks indiscriminately from behind walls
The gameplay has just improved over many sequels to the point that the AI no longer leaves itself completely open to the point where you can slam your great club at it with ease repeatedly, every single time, and every time you get up from the bonfire.
>>341656165
>DaS2 is bad and we don't talk about it. Do not reply to DaS2 posters.
Not an argument.
>>341656139
I wish you could see how many hours of a game you've played total on console, so you could add it all up across all your platforms. Probably have 400-500 hours on Xbox.

I skipped 2 only because I wanted to play 3 while it was new (finished 1 in March).
I have 2 already bought. I played a bit of it, up to the first boss, and from what I played it felt really good. I want to finish 3 already so I can jump to it.
>>341656202
You can't do that with the agape since you lock your souls.You put the agape only after you get the armor and weapon you desire to play.
What you are talking about makes no sense.
>>341656139
I probably have 2000 hours in DS2 and SotFS.
Tanimura a best.
>>341656289
If I had to go into everything that makes DaS2 a pile of shit we'd be here all week, and the post was long enough already.
Considering every Souls game got some kind of major throwback except DaS2, which got nothing except the Mirrah set and a dead laddersmith, I think From refuses to reply to DaS2 posters too.
>>341656238
You ruined yourself, I've never had the need to dodge more than twice in these games. If you see someone spamming dodge, it means they are shit and are panicking.
>>341650102
I haven't even finished it yet. I was so fucking disappointed when I got to Irithyll and it was blocked off and then found the dead end after Deacons. Anor Londo was what finally made me drop it. The final Souls game and it's the most linear one, bravo A team.
>>341656147
If he rolls through 5 attacks he simply is better at timing his rolls than you are at timing your attacks. Doing a weapon art, charging a strong attack or casting pretty much any spell already denies rollspamming. And if he attempts to roll attack you, Id like to remind you that EVERY roll attack can be parried
>>341656045
>you need items from all factions to get the trophies
my only non-issue complaint with ds3, i fucking hate the dorkmoon covenant
>>341656139
I admit I was kinda turned off with Das2 the first time I played it. But when I replayed SotFS I was really enjoying it. Moreso because they fixed the FUCKING DEADZONE which I had an issue with the first time playing it.
>>341656653
DaS3 rewards panic rolling though. DaS1 doesn't, and DaS2 sure as fuck punishes you for it.
i can't even bring myself to finish ng+. it's such a fucking snoozer
Should I start with Bloodborne, or DS1?

You should go back to DS2.In one day i gought a hexer,a mage,a fist user,a guts build,a paladin,a pyro,a greathammer user,some crazy person surprised me at the red arena with a great bow.There were no two builds alike.
I was so disinterested towards the end that I just summoned and afked for
>Dragonslayer Armor
>Faggy Princes
>Ocelottttttttttttttttttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>Soul of Cinder
I think its bad. Not as bad as Dark Souls 2 by any stretch, but it has an aura of laziness about it that feels so completely worthless.
Game has no fucking replay value. Shields are useless, magic is mostly shitty, heavy armor is worthless, most weapons are worthless. There's one way to play the game, roll through the boss's attacks and use one of the 4 good weapons.
compare to DaS1 which has loads of different playstyles.
>>341656893
DaS1 -> 2 -> 3 -> BB
>>341656165
I agree with you completely on your evaluation of DaS3, but your opinion on DaS2 is cancer and stifles discussion.
Did it fall behind the others? Yes, because in DaS3 you can see the fog wall at the Dragonslayer Armor from the top of Lothric Castle (where the golden knights are) when you get invaded, and in DaS2 you can't see your bloodstain from across the Ivory King DLC map. Which was one of the only maps where you would even see that far, anyway.
But it was still fun. Dynamic areas likethe Guttergive you a sense of progression even if you've done them before and items like the Fragrant Branches really helped with replayability and added a mysterious atmosphere to the game.
I'm enjoying this game a lot more than DS2 or DS1 on release, that's for sure. I only warmed up to those games after a lot of patches and DLC.
PCfags don't know the horror of console release DS1 balance.
>>341651134

>>341656951
i now prefer fat roll to mid roll for some reason.
>>341657060
miyazaki didnt even wanted to make the game, its ok. ds3 is alright for a game with 0 inspiration.
>>341656893
Demon's Souls if you can.
If you don't have a PS3, Dark Souls.
Bloodborne's design will only make sense if you're suffered the nightmare of equip load.
And if you play Demon's Souls first, the fucking nightmare of inventory burden.
>>341651693
DS2 still has best PVP till today b team can't into pve
>>341656510
What Im saying is that I like having multiple different sets applied to my build. Not only the partizan for my dex faith, but also a rapier a falchion, maybe another spear, or whatever meets the build stats. Doing this puts me in a higher tier than people who commit to one single weapon, one single armor, one single loadout. I prefer the non stringent way where I can upgrade 20 weapons to the max and have a fun mix of playstyles with one build without having to worry fighting people of dozens of soul levels higher
>>341656893
des, then ds1, then bloodborne or ds3, bloodborne is faster so the other games(other than ds3) will feel slow, BB is also harder, so you will get very fucked playing it first.
>>341651389
Yeah, thats me. Better than 2, worse than 1. Just OK. Vaguely interested in DLC.
It feels like they attempted to fuse Dark Souls and Bloodborne and didn't take the best aspects of either game.
I mean yeah the controls are fantastic, but of all the fucking things they decided to take from Bloodborne, why did they take the lack of playstyle variety?
>>341657101
>But it was still fun
Honestly, for me, it wasn't.
I tried my absolute best to stick through it solo, but at a certain point I didn't feel it was worth it anymore.
I didn't feel satisfaction getting through an area, just a sense of "fucking hell it's finally over."
Co-op with a friend is the only reason I pushed through to the end, and even then we didn't have the motivation to do the DLCs.
I'd have to do a break down of every single individual area to really express it properly, because in the end it's not really the mechanics or the overarching things that make me hate it.
There's just no area in the entire game that I don't hate, or that I don't think was just slapped together with no cohesion.
For me it's just not worth talking about because it would take a year just to explain.
>>341656989
The most entertaining parts of 2's PvP for me:
>Fists
>Backsteps
>two UGS users going tete-a-tete and balancing carefulness and aggression due to huge hits and stamina consumption
Last point was against someone with that 500+ arena wins red phantom aura. Intense fight, especially since I didn't think of myself as that good at PvP before then.
We got each other down to a sliver of health, and I would've won if I landed the last hit. I heard the sound effect, but he didn't die, probably due to the hitbox connecting but the i-frames avoiding it (same thing happens in 3). I was using the Lost Sinner's Sword, which saps health on each hit, so that killed me without damaging him.
I really wish I had Shadowplay back then, because I would've loved to have recorded it.
I've had nothing anywhere near so intense in 3's PvP because there's rolling out the ass, so you no longer have people being so methodical with their actions.
>>341657101
Fragrant Branches were fucking horrendous what are you even saying
>Dynamic areas like the gutter
What am I even fucking reading?
No area in Dark Souls 2 is "good". They're all shit. Forest of Fallen Giants tries so hard to be like the Undeadburg but fails to be anything other than a mess.

It hasn't went on "le ebin steam sale" yet. Be patient and more threads should appear after the 23rd of June.
As for original buyers, everything about the game has already been discussed, it's a subpar but good Soulsborne game capitalizing on nostalgia. If you want memes wait for the steam sale audience to jump in.
By the way, how do you access that bonfire?
>>341657331
Upgrading a few weapons and a few armor sets is not that much when it comes to souls especially later on.Just calculate your shit better so you can fit it into your desired soul memory bracket.Use the wiki if you are not sure what to do.
Now if you want to be a hipster with 20 upgraded weapons at level 50.
YES YOUR SOUL MEMORY WILL BE SHIT SO FUCK OFF!

Using a shield is easymode for anything. Using a 4 weight blue kite shield guarantees tanking any combo a boss throws at you with 40 endurance with barely any damage as opposed to dying in 3 hits without it. This means people with a shield pressing l1 the entire game will beat bosses more easily than people memorizing combos, timing their hits, watching for tells and actually gitting gud at the game. Im not saying either tactic is better or worse, but saying shields are shit is plain retarded
>>341658136
Are you telling me that the prequels are the best of all star wars?
>>341658040
Nigger, nobody gives a fuck about PvP, PvP does not fucking matter, it is not the content that makes up the Souls games.
PvE is ALL that matters, and that is why DaS1 is king, there are loads of different ways to play the PvE content in DaS1.

It's dynamic in the sense that you can light all the torches and look back upon it and feel like you've made progress, even if you've done it before on a previous run. In Aldia's Keep (which is unfortunately tiny, but still) the enemies can break out of the cages and become permanently free.
With a lot of other areas across the games, you can just speedrun through and there's not much that changes, and I feel like DaS2's levels underwent the most change between when you first entered and when you finished.

Git gud
>>341658290
I've gone through DS3 with 10 different.characters, and I'd say there's quite a lot variety in there.
Besides, PvE after Anal Rodeo and parts before Sen's Fortress is shit, so what does it matter? I've never replayed DS1 for the AMAZING PvE, I've replayed BB more because of that.
>>341658686
I have. And I think DeS is one of the best games.
But I'm saying MECHANICALLY they took a lot from Bloodborne without putting into consideration that BB was a very different game mechanically.
The level design is entirely DeS though, I'll agree, which is both good and bad.

Beat the game normally. I still haven't completed my SL1 playthrough yet
Got up to Princes on SL1, died a few times, and put it down. I don't even consider Princes to be THAT difficult, I just got tired of it at that point. It's gross how the game has virtually no side-content whatsoever. This whole end-game stretch has just been "fast bosses who will one-shot me" one after another and it's so lame.

seriously Endurance is not very useful in DaS3. Although it's still much better than Bloodborne where I don't even know why it's in the game.
>>341657060
Just watch a let's play then, you fucking cuck.
>>341658867
Two things kind of irked me about the level design in 3. Everything being anor londo scaled is one, and the areas are a little too cluttered with enemies. Especially later on, like the fortress before dragonslayer armour and the princes.
>>341658209
Start with Demon Souls preferably but Dark Souls 1 is fine too. For a first playthough I suggest playing as melee only + shitty bow, just pick the weapon you like the most, everything that isn't obviously a joke weapon is viable as long as you upgrade.
Don't read guides or watch youtuber shit. First run blind, I feel like the game has better atmosphere if you play offline but I'm sure other people will disagree so it's up to you. If you are stuck, try going another direction, if you are stuck at a boss try leveling up a bit and upgrading your gear, don't be ashamed of summoning.
2nd playthough: mandatory for DaS 1 at the very least. Go read about the game and the secrets and enjoy the shit you missed during your first blind playthrough.
From there on just play whichever you want just be sure to play DaS III before Bloodborne because BB is the best in the series and you will be sad to end your journey with DaS III.
10/10 it's passable
>>341658895
>It's gross how the game has virtually no side-content whatsoever
Isn't there like 2 optional areas? Isn't that what side content is?

Try to play it mostly blind, you ARE likely to get lost or stuck and need a walkthrough at some point, but not to beat bosses, only if you get lost and can't find where you need to go.
don't put any points into Resistance.

>>341659061
>it's still much better than Bloodborne where I don't even know why it's in the game
Because Bloodborne cut out the fat of all the useless stats
That's BB's strength, it streamlined everything very well
You can have health, you can have stamina, or you can have a damage stat
That's all you get
The lack of equip load makes putting points into pure stamina worthwhile, though I will agree there's really no point in putting endurance past like 20 or so
>>341658876
To be fair never did once leveled endurance in Bloodborne since you can pretty much dodge or attack with minimal consumption. Which made it a waste of stat points when I can focus on Vit or Arcane.
I don't have problems with poise because of HA. The big problems are META weapons and caestus parry spam. And of course no fun invasions. Because of ganks there is only three ways to win
>mage
>faith
>BKGAhornetstab
No any reasons for cospaly because of 1vs3 or even 1vs5. Personally I hate main pvp area. Why after Pontiff? Why not NG+ settlement? If you wanna duel, you forced to skip best areas for dried finger

This. Only PC autist are playing it since no Bb
>>341659312
I don't even know what the hell you're talking about.
I've played every single one of these games and I wouldn't call the mechanics anymore "based on demon's souls" than they are based on any of the other games.
There wasn't much difference between raw movement and combat mechanics in DeS and DaS.
I mean maybe parry timings and yeah, the FP bar, but the FP bar I think was a concession made because there had to be a limit on weapon arts and having two separate resource meters for both weapon arts AND spells would be stupid.
The reason the mana bar was taken out after DeS is because healing items and mana items were so retardedly fast and unlimited so it broke the game if you had enough of them.
Same reason we got estus instead of grass.
Don't know why it took them until now to realize they could just make a separate estus flask for a mana bar, but eh.
And if you're gonna say having luck makes this game a carbon copy of DeS then you can leave.

Endurance is the only thing where I can make a difference versus other players who are as good as dodging as I. If you're some casual, you will just stand still and r1 trade with someone and if your numbers are higher you win, yay. If you're actually trying you will attempt baits, charges, running, dashes and rolling to stay unharmed while trying to get hits in. Since all attacks in the souls games can be dodged, this means the one who can move the longest wins, ergo endurance is one of the most important stats
>>341659834
DS3 has a lot of good weapons. I'm digging the Glaive and the Caestus right now, and for the first time since DeS, Greataxes are all pretty fucking good.

Yes but do not expect good PVP. And if you go for chalice spelunking make sure you do it with another player.

Because DS2 DLC is basically the meat of the game, before that the game was a lifeless husk. What I'm saying is that DS3 isn't as terrible as DS2 and BB were on vanilla.

100%ing the game means taking all the drops, killing all the enemies in every area at least once, unlocking all the secrets you could unlock in a first run and do every character quest and boss encounter.
Achievements require you to get to NG+3, considering them for a first run is fucking stupid.

30 hours is really not a long time for an action RPG's campaign. They count too much on the NG+ and multiplayer aspect without even bothering to make any of that good content.
NG+ sucks, period. No new things around besides rings. DS2 system was much better, I could play any boss any time without the chore of going thru the game again, and get additional rewards and new enemies. It made NG+ a choice instead of a "well I guess there's nothing else to do in the game, so I'm playing it another 2 hours in NG+ until I get bored and forget it even existed".
Multiplayer is just shit. I'm in Europe, why do I get paired with eastern Russians, Japanese, Australians and Americans? I should get paired with the western european area, from Portugal to Poland, but that shit never fucking happens.
>>341661098
Wouldn't that be impossible because of the achievements for all the different endings? You would have to play the game through three times.

fuck off with your weak bait
Focused on casualization just like bloodborne.
Easiest souls game to date.
Rolls cost almost no stamina and are the strongest rolls in any game.
Bosses are a joke and most rely on gimmicks
Just as linear as bloodborne, dancer/lothric feels like a last minute change.
Key to archives locked behind killing the 3 Lords has no reasoning behind it.
PvP balance a complete joke, invasions favor the host and poise doesn't exist. All 1v1 fights boils down to passive reactive play styles where whoever attacks first loses.
Reuses a lot of bloodborne assets and engine.
No replayability or variety compared to both das and das2.
Online community died faster than dark souls 2 did.
Pale soulless imitation of the first game, filled with references and memes from the first game. Even final boss is just das1 final boss.
Feels rushed and just a cash grab trying to bank on player nostalgia either than be good on its own merits
Without a doubt the worst souls game to date

Okay, autist. You said you complete game for 4 hour. When you kill bosses you get boss achievements with timestamp. Show me your epic 4 hours first playthrough with ptoofs. Good luck with photoshop.
First of all, the threads probably got the inevitable boot /vg/ all well discussed games get.
Second of all, 99% of the longevity of Souls games is PVP and alternate builds, and the PVP is shit in 3, and armor was gutted out entirely.
The lack of poise means armor doesn't fucking matter. Armor's useless-ness means there's zero armor diversity (fashion isnt armor diversity), which would usually change how you approach different builds. Lack of armor diversity means everyone runs lightweight squishy builds. Lightweight squishy builds means we get cancer one-shot metas, unstoppable combos (I heard they nerfed some but I haven't played in a bit) and no one has the defense to live through them. Strength weapons are king of reddit duels, since you can easily hyperarmor out-trade everything, they can't heal (strength weapons' only weakness), and you can finish them off with throwing daggers.
The lack of armor choice makes PVE fucking boring too. This isn't fucking bloodborne, yet the devs treated this game like bloodborne in regards to armor/defense.

This
It's heart-pounding to experience your first invasion in an unknown area, but it's not worth having the world splattered with messages telling you every little detail ahead of time.
There are mimic chests in these games, right?
If you play online every mimic chest will have 5 bloodstains surrounding them and 3 messages, completely spoiling the surprise.
I was so disappointed when, a month after DaS3 was released, the Catacombs had every single trap encircled with glowing orange messages going "HEY BRO THERE'S A TRAP HERE."
Imagine if an I-Spy or Where's Waldo puzzle had the solution circled in big red marker on every page. There's no more tension or effort required.
People say don't read guides because it spoils the experience of accomplishing and discovering things yourself, and the online messages and bloodstains are miniature in-game guides.

So when people in /v/ say that Straight Swords are the only good weapons in this game, does that mean they are shitty at the game so they have to use weapons like that to be successful?

Didn't play bloodborne, but 90% of the enemies in this game are parriable and you can backstab them to infinity. It's boiled down to a dodging shitfest where all you have to do is time your attack, there is no clever build planning nor any smart strats to make out
>Easiest souls game to date
Again, didn't play Demon's and Bloodborne, but It's fairly easier than both DS1 and DS2

Not entirely true, but you can parry the only 2 bosses that would otherwise be fun to play against.

The only good thing about the game was its bosses.
A lot of you people like to shit on DaS2. I didn't like it nearly as much as DaS1, but it was a good game with a good atmosphere. Especially the Majula music.
Yes, I know that it was remade into a mess because the original concept didn't work out. Yes, I know that the story made too little sense before the DLC. However, it felt like a progression in story in the scope of the DaS world.
However, the horrible part was that it introduced the LEL CYCLES thing. Which is why DaS3 suffers. It leads to lack of creativity and lack of closure because of kek you cannot do anything against cycles. So all your progress through the 3 games feels completely invalidated.
There shouldn't have been any other DaS game outside of the 1st one. I feel like it wrapped enough things up in the ending to leave it as it is.
I also liked DaS2 PVP the best. And the combat was nicer due to the variety of weapons and move sets.
Also, the video I'm talking about, if anyone's interested:

I don't agree with some of the things. But when you think about it, his points do make sense.

My point wasn't that I'm hot shit. My point was that the game is fucking easy and linear, and half of the people in this thread say the same fucking thing.

Outside of depth 5 phtu. What hard bosses? I understand difficulty is subjective and player experiences different, but mind you, I sl1 ever soul game and sl4 bb. I disagree with the notion that bb has harder bosses than all the other games. Lud and zallen, are harder than all of bb bosses.

>magic/miracles were useless for 2/3 the game's lifetime (finally good again)
What did they do

I actually think the boss roster is the most diverse one since DeS while still having a lot of good fights.
Some bosses are tough or easy with certain builds, and I appreciated that.

Next you'll say only shitters use weapons. There is no use discussing anything with you.

Great wood is annoing at NG+2. And Wolnir is better on NG+ when he start casting shit. Litteraly RNG boss
>>341662442
I think I opened more mimics than actual chests in this one, there were so fucking many. I just hit every single one regardless.
>>341663160
Adjusted a lot of shitty spells to have better casting speed and projectile speed. It's actually pretty feasible to make a pure FAI caster now.

Your opinion is wrong.

Your fashion is just as garbage as the game itself

>Bloodborn looking. Little inspiration in the world. Unlike the first game.
Oh please, half the shit in the first game is straight out of D&D.

Weapons =/= cheese tactic
If you so edgy, better to say there is no hard bosses in any From games ever. You EZ mod everything. You can cheese everything. Epic?
>>341663556
>>341663129
Sure you have

>You can't break the chests like in DS2
>There is no point in not hitting a chest
>After the first hour of the game you realize it and no mimic ever tricked you again
>There is an item you can buy for cheap and makes mimics drop their item and prevents them from attacking you
Why are mimics even in the game then. Their whole purpose is defeated by so many game mechanics that make them harmless.

>Literally says "your opinion is wrong"
>Doesn't explain why
You're the wisest wizard cat who ever lived, nigger

They are altering poise. You can escape many combos now (like spin to winning with twinweapons/halberds). They also made casters more viable, buffed weak weapons (try drakeblood gs now) and nerfed the r1 cancer (spamming r1 estoc now comes with increased stamina consumption with each swing). Strenght weapons are still the most powerful only competed by the other bs weapons (gotthard, washing pole, ubadachi&onikiri, glaives and the occasional boss weapon) but remember you can always parry that guy who spams his fume ultra memrsword r1 roll attack.
Armor works in a very unrefined way. I feel like theres a couple of steps. First theres the 30% carry load squish armor that takes lets say 500 damage from a certai weapon (just an example, but relates to reality), you wont notice a difference in damage reduction until your armor meets a certain treshold of protection, lets say 50% carry load and you now only take 400 damage. Then its like before where you wont notice any increased protection until you hit the next treshold where that same attack does only 300 damage.
I dont have the exact values but where my astora gs hits almost 700 on some firekeeper robed character, it hits 300 on a haveldude.
And lets not forget how ridiculous all the pvp was in soulsgames right after release (broken straightsword infinite stabkills, infinite partizankills and so on...)
Everyone is getting tired of the souls formula

You're really are just a blind fanboy. You don't even know what is cheese and what is not. It's always the same reply too. Someone finds a boss easy and some ass ravaged from drone shitposts in response
