Dark Souls III

I beat Dark Souls 3.
It took me a couple days, I admit, but goddamn that was fun.
The Irithyll dungeon actually scared me, I hadn't been scared of a game in a long time, since fucking Half life 2's Ravenholm years ago.
The skeleton level felt like it just needed to be included and I thought it was stupid at first, but I had a huge grin on my face while fighting skeletons.

From the wording I take it that was your first Souls game? If so you should go back and play one. You'll experience what real catacombs and skeleton wheels are like.

atmospherically ds3 is really weak
i got taken out of it really quick by how limited the actually levels are
everyone will always take the same paths through it and i felt no emotional connection to it
now tower of latria?
that's atmosphere

Yeah, it was my first Souls game. I played a bit of the first game, but I got frustrated after trying to beat the first asylum demon on 15 fps. That was years ago, I feel way better now.

Literally the problem is instant bonfire teleports, which have been killing soulbourne immersion since DaS II.

DaS III levels are indeed shorter, but wouldn't be nearly as "souless" if it wasn't for Firelink trips.

Don't worry, it's hard to go back. Dark Souls 1 and 2 are nearly unplayable after experiencing Bloodborne, 3, and Nioh. You're not missing anything. It's just nostalgia that keeps the rest of us in love with Dark Souls 1.

The speed shit is a meme. It will feel "weird" but DaS is built around a slower speed of gameplay where it's less about reaction time to attacks and more about making the proper attack investments.
The main thing you will probably notice with DaS is a few of the bosses are outright bad compared to the almost perfect streak of fights in III.

Since DeS*

DeS is different, every level is a long gauntlet that if you die you have to repeat from the beginning. Everything loops back to the Nexus which is how one properly does the level up waifu concept.

DaS II, III and BB instead force you to take a trip back to their "nexus" whenever the fuck you want while also allowing you to instant jump to other locations.
This kills the immersion that DaS generated by having you isolated to whatever bonfire you have until endgame.

If they REALLY wanted to force a level up waifu they should have had her be summonable at every bonfire to level up or some shit.
