wat happened?
its too hard
I got burnt out.
>>343430793
I pirated and it's a shitty game.
Nothing to do after the initial playthrough and a bit of PvP.
The online is much worse than both DaS1 and DaS2.
>>343430793
whoa, its almost as if most people don't play the same game over and over again for months on end.
>>343430793
It's le shit
its just rpg and not an actual proper multiplayer game with a long lifetime
>>343430793
people are eager to shit on DS2 but the game had far better NG+ compared do ds3
>>343431137
yeah. its not like pvp exists or anything.
Dark Souls 1
>best world design
>garbage port
>unsatisfying stats
Dark Souls 2
>best gameplay/stats
>best port
>worst world design
Dark Souls 3
>meh stats/gameplay
>meh world design
>SHITTY port
Probably has the least replay value out of any Souls game.
>>343430793
>Daily peak same as DS1's all time
wew lad
I'd argue that a lot more nomies bought it, beat it/got their shit pushed in and quit, and moved on.
>framerate issues
>stuttering issues
>boring
>no poise
>everything but straight swords are shit tier
I refunded it after 20 minutes of framedropping and stuttering on my 980 and 950 Pro. Then I pirated it later after 1.05 came out and it's still just as shit.
Shit game. Couldn't even bring myself to play more than half of it.
Not even any red phantoms or ng+Enemy placements/boss moves. Why bother
>>343431319
The PvP in Dark Souls has always been shit
It's even worse in Ds3, which is saying something.
>>343431407
Basically same thing for me.
Makes me sad, I want to like it.
Although I bought both games for full price on release, I could never bother finishing DaS2 or 3.
>>343430793
Old meme game got old and nobody cares for old memes.
>>343430793
its part of the souls franchise, and therefore figuratively shit.
>>343431598

DS1 and 2 had better multiplayer

>>343430793
>>343431840
Where do you check those stats?
pvp is dogshit and done with the game after like 1 finished and 2 unfinished playthroughs
I could have done a magic run but it's boring when you know every little detail about enemies, bosses, treasure etc.
pvp is almost as bad as Bloodborne
no dlc
WOW
>>343431962

Nothing happened. People are waiting for the dlc.
>wat happened?
Three months passed? Why would the player count remain constant for that long for any game, let along a (mostly) singleplayer one?
>>343431330
>SHITTY port
What's wrong with it? There were those crashes at launch, but aside from that the PC version is fine.

>das2 is lower than das
wat happened?
>>343430793
Played through it once and then dropped it because the pvp wasn't fun.
At least Ds1 has nostalgia and memes and ds2 has good pvp.
The people stuck on the Judge stopped playing
>>343432236
kek
>>343430793
it's been out for months? 10k is still a lot of players for a weekday
People beat the game and stopped playing except for the pvp autists

Yes the game has pvp, but it's an after thought like all of the other titles. There are actual fighting games to play if someone wants to go that route.
>>343430793
Well I'm sorry to here that, cause now
>>343433723
It's not a single player game. why do you keep insisting that it is?
It was worse than dark souls 2
>>343432564
Terrible optimization. Barely looks current gen but has higher requirements than witcher 3
They didn't give us enough diversity in Stats and weapons. The best PvP shit was figured out almost instantly, and it's so infinitely better than anything else you gimp yourself way too much to not do so. Not to mention invasions are completely fucked. They tried so damn hard to set up a PvP scene and ended up fucking everyone because it's one of those things that needs to happen organically.
Hmmm.
>shit meta
>easy bosses
>more areas feel boring
>linear as fuck progresion
>poise
All it appeases are muh lore and matmosphere fags who dont actually play games. The rest is a das1 fanwank with shit pvp
>almost every area in das3 feels huge compared to das1,das2, and even des
Fucking why? I though the size of das1 levels was pretty nice, that way you were continually moving forward into new areas.
3 makes you trudge through the same scenery for far too long, and too many areas are actual shit design wise.
>>343434402
Then why can I run das3 fine on "ultra" but w3 is a shitfest if I try anything above low?
Did they do massive optimization since its launched?
>>343436582
I played W3 fine but I uninstalled DS3 after an hour of 5 second freezes, stutters and frame drops.
Maybe you're just stupid.
>>343431319
PvP in Dark Souls has only ever appealed to a very niche crowd. The larger chunk of players don't mind doing it a few times while completing the game and then they never touch it again.
Maybe its because From didn't do shit for those other 10k users banned
>>343431319
Dark souls pvp is fun at most for the first month before it becomes cookie cutter and copy pastes.
Dark souls 2 had better PvP and that's saying something
>>343431319
dark souls pvp was never a draw to 99% of people
the tiny hardcore crowd is just that, tiny.
Half a percent of players left. How is this cause for alarm? Players will jump back up once DLC and their SotFS equivalent gets released.
I haven't played it yet, I'm waiting for the Scholar of the Second Sin edition, I'm not going to get fucked again like they did me with DaS2.
>>343438210
Dark Souls 3 is better than SotFS
>>343438297
Yes, and? I'm waiting for SotSS before playing it.
>>343437389
Unless I'm mistaken DS3 still has problems with rendering shadows or lighting on faces with some cards, I had to disable them and then the game ran perfectly fine. Try that, anon. Some people even mentioned simply wearing a helmet works for the most part.
>>343438362
there isn't going to be an equivalent to that for 3.

The best is the guy up there saying it stuttered on his "980 and 950 pro" meaning I guess he is running the 950 pro as a physics card and doesnt understand this is the problem? rofl
doing totally unnecessary shit that nobody in their right mind would ever do in 2016 and blame the developer for not supporting it

Let me remindo you of two things: 60 fps broke the game and Adaptability.
There are two ways to know if someone has shitty opinions: if he has Dragon Age 2 on high notes and if he has Dark Souls 2 on high notes.
>>343438762
that won't happen for about 3 years based on previous game prices
you could just buy it and enjoy it now. I highly suggest DaS3 as a quality video game and i've been playing video games since 1987. You can trust me more than 99.9% of people here
>>343432725
>>343433380
>>343432236
You know I thought a lot of people still played DS2 but apparently not. People generally dislike DS2 so they gave both it and the much-improved SotFS a pass.
>>343438823
More money than sense.
>>343430793
Normal game progression. As people beat the game, they stop playing it. The vast majority of players DO NOT LIKE PVP.
And for good reason, its shit and you have to constantly compinsate for lag, shit hit detection, poor game balance, hackers, pve invading your pvp and visa versa.
>>343438947
>that won't happen for about 3 years
Then I will wait.
I'm in no rush.
There are plenty of other games I have that I have yet to complete.
>>343438381
I tried playing with everything off and in a 800x600 window
it still stuttered just the same as it did on max settings. the port is just disgustingly bad, as expected of From

I loved it since I played it solo. Definitely the best souls game with consistent quality if you play it solo.
but the PVP , weapons , poise system and covenant are fucked.

>>343438754
You're posting a graph that has no indication of what is what and why, without linking nor providing a source and meanwhile you make a sarcastic statement like someone is actually supposed to understand the fuck you just posted.
What is that? Number of active players? Number of disconnections during PVP? Why do DS1 and 2 have their number at 0 while SOFTS has 2,449? What do those numbers even stand for?
I swear to fucking god, guys who post graphs are the most asinine entitled pieces of shit on this website. "Look at my evidence" without providing intelligible content to look at is like watching porn with both video and audio off.
>>343440160
That people actually bought and liked Overwatch.
Even Titanfall was more original than that shit, but waifufaggots got drawn in.
Just watch porn and save 60 bucks, niggers.
After the honeymoon phase wore off I realized that there was a large amount of problems with the game that soured my enjoyment. Since none of them have been fixed yet I lost interest. DeS and DaS1 are still my favorites. From just needs to move on from the series and create something new since they can't hit the same high notes as the first two games anymore.
>>343444504
You're dumb
People are waiting for dlc and covenants are PURE SHIT
SHIT
>>343430793
I don't even remember the last time I booted this garbage up and I couldn't care less. There is absolutely zero incentive for replays because all builds end up being the same. No reason at all whatsoever to not go quality build in every playthrough since everything else is ass and the magic system is the most lazy ctrl+c ctrl+v hackjob I've seen. Way to end a series (>implying they won't keep milking this garbage to no end) with a """"high"""" note. I'm glad I didn't buy the season pass because just as I haven't touched Dark Souls 2's DLCs and never will, I don't want anything to do with this game's DLCs as well.
>>343430793
people prefer talking about it over playing it.
nothing unusual for a Souls game.
>>343436178
>and too many areas are actual shit design wise.
This and the lack of variety are the reasons I simply cannot spend more than 5 minutes on a new character in this game. I just can't.
Everytime I go "maybe I'm gonna do this build, yeah it's shit but at least it may be fun" I then start remembering some shitty area, then the other one, and the other one, and the other one, and the other one, until I realize most of the areas in this game are annoying as fuck and it's a shit game overall.

I beat the game 3 times, stopped at NG++++, got 90% of the achievements because I couldn't be bothered with the retarded not working online covenants or farming one spot for 8 hours.
All this in the first 2 weeks when the game came out.
There's nothing else for me to do.
>>343445889
>>343444867
To be fair the graph doesn't say what the numbers represent. You're just supposed to assume that it's something server related. Also, anon did not in fact provide a source.
>>343444504
You're still autistic for not understanding tho
Honestly, it's boring as shit
That, and I'm sick and god damn tired of fromsoft never fixing any of the obvious broken shit and imbalance in their games. Its clear they don't care
>>343445919
>not him
sure thing mate
the graph obviously shows players online, as it's from steamcharts.com, whose charts only show the amount of players
anon was making an observation that both games suddenly dropped down to 0 players, which was a result of some kind of error, which should lead you to believe that they're somehow linked, perhaps running on the same servers
get it now?
>>343430793
Not a lot of replay value
>>343444832
>After the honeymoon phase wore off I realized that there was a large amount of problems with the game that soured my enjoyment. Since none of them have been fixed yet I lost interest.
Exactly this.
They won't be fixed, either, because you can't fix a linear, boring world without threading the DLC through the main game in an interesting way, and sequence breaking is pointless with weapon memory anyway.
And fixing poise/ vit/ heavy armour would be too radical a change to implement, so things are going to stay exactly as they are now. Feels really, really bad.
DS3 was flavor of the month for casuals and most of the returning players are too fatigued on the series to keep playing anymore.
>>343446875
It could be fixed, but From doesn't give a FLYING SHIT. They already got their sales.
Those japanese shitters don't do anything unless Namco forces them to, the only reason DaS1 was ported to steamworks and not left unplayable is because Namco took notice and told From to do it.
Even then, the japanese version of DaS1 is literally unplayable right now because their version still has GFWL on it, and obviously From doesn't care.
>>343430793
That't it
I am now an #OverwatchMissile
>>343447382
Also true, the game had 10 times as many peak players as DaS1 or DS2 because dudebros and casuals took notice from all the marketing.
It obviously wouldn't last, those kind of players aren't a lasting audience.
worst pvp in the entire series
There isn't enough replayability
PvE is so railroaded that the only real sequence skip is killing dancer, it honestly feels better once you get to irithill and you get to choose between profaned capital and anal london it's too bad the rest of the game isn't like that. I'm usually a reroll-aholic in souls games and this one got stale really fast
>>343431330
> dark "slowest gameplay in the series yet manages to lose all of the strategy DaSI pretended it had by being slower by making turtling and defensive play the most and safe, don't forget turning deadzones" souls II
>best gameplay
fuck right off, DaSII isn't the worst game ever by a huge margin but I'm sicking of II apologists thinking this game had best anything other than DLC content
I've put it in 110 hours into DS3
There's literally nothing else to do in the game
>>343448579
son, why you so salty dough?
>>343445093
This
I'm a big fan of 3 and I think it's honestly one of the best in the series, but I was so fucking mad playing through the game to see that the covenants are STILL just fucking rehashes of the covenants from 1
DO SOMETHING NEW YOU CHING CHONGS
>>343448926
because it's a shit game
I forgot to mention PvP though, I guess it still is the best in that regard, even with that absolute horrid meta they slowly had to patch out of existence
