What does it have over Dark Souls 2?

How well sonic space was occupied. For example, Dancer's footsteps and their echoes didn't drown out or mess with the BGM and remained unique enough to be noticable which helped set the rhythm of the fight.

you mean the sound design?

Sure, but specifically how the design worked with itself. Like, I really like the general sound design of say, Metal Gear Solid, but the ambiance and the music work against each other for most of the game. The intro cinematic is most well designed part of that entire game, but it still has narration cluttering up the music and sfx.

absolutely nothing. It's a shit game that ruined the franchise and retroactively made the other games slightly worse with how fucking retarded it's lore is.

One number

It looks nicer, about it. But more polish in places otherwise.

You would get cream pied in this game if they were.

literally almost everything except the lore

That's good until you start realizing that most areas are just corridors.

!soul memory

FPBP

What is wrong with the lore? I thought it continues the lore of ds1 and even bring in some stuff from ds2 even when ds2 attempts to be so different from ds1 while reusing asset that the lore is straight up convoluted sometimes.

alonne, darklurker, fume knight > everything in ds3

it's an rpg, that was a good change

enemies don't have infinite combos in 2
3 doesn't have a single level better than drangleic castle
power stanceing is better by default

ds2 is more fun

correct

sotfs looks fine

incorrect

agape ring

next

better rolling by making rolling work like in DaS/DeS and not the ADP shit from 2

>Luck while limited is still viable before you mention luck
>Invading actually grants something useful for PVE rather than a pointless token

Feels like an actual game and not a bootleg.

They're probably asshurt abyss boys absolutely seething that their age of dark never happened in the canon.

> enemy don’t have infinite combo in 2
Dark soul 2 has the worst case of infinite combo enemy. There’s nothing worse than armored club giant nigga in ds2 because it’s an infinite poise giant with huge reach and huge hp pool that swing its mace constantly at high speed.
Enemies that can do fast attack in 3 are typically low poise so you can interrupt part of their combo that isn’t hyper armor or just hit them first. Even for enemy combo, they are perfectly dodgable and punishable once it ends.

Actually enjoyable gameplay
Good level design
Good bossfights
Full Eye Orb, no SM
Actual sequel to Dark Souls 1 instead of the terrible off brand knockoff DS2 was.

Dark Souls 2 fags didn't like that 3 wasn't sucking off ds2.

Bought all 3 Dark Souls games recently. Only ever played and completed Demon's Souls years ago on release. Just got out of the painting work in DS1. What a fucking game, boys. What a fucking game.

yikes

In retrospective? Nothing.

easiest bosses in dark souls

>DUDE ORNSTEIN LOL
>DUDE SUNBRO STATUE PRAISE THE SUN XD
Yeah fanservice is only bad when a game I dislike does it...
Besides Dark Souls 3 yries to be an actual sequel so yes, they showed how Anor Londo was decrepit and Aldrich eating the royal family left there was an actual plot point.

nothing
its garbage

I could write a book if I were to go into every single detail, but essential if you look past the surface of "it's the thing from DS1," you realize that 80% of the lore that relates to DS1 doesn't actually go anywhere and is completely fan service, 10% might not have actually happened, and the other 10% sucks cock. And the game barely acknowledges DS2 making that entire game seem pointless.
Example of a reference that goes nowhere:
Abyss Watchers. Cult dedicated to the character you loved from DS1. Did you clap when you saw it? If you didn't, there's literally nothing to them besides the reference as they add absolutely nothing to the world and have no interesting lore of their own.
Example of additions that suck dick and retroactively make DS1 worse:
Nameless King. The mysterious character referenced a few times in DS1 as Gwyns forsaken son who did something so bad that his father erased him. what was this great sin? He felt bad for the dragons for no given reason (a lot of things happen in DS3 for no reason)
Somewhat unrelated but also fuck siegward. That entire character is the biggest waste of space I have ever seen and is a complete mockery of siegmeyer and his quest.
you don't have to be a ds2fag to realize that 3 is the worst garbage from has ever made, coming from a ds1fag

Cope harder lmao

>there's nothing to them besides the reference
Did you miss the fact that they are one of the Lords of Cinder and have lore to them, Hawkwood for instance talks about them a lot?
>dude reference for no reason
Hmmm what about Ornstein from ds2? Obviously you're not acknowledging that....
>barely acknowledges ds2
Yeah figured this was the real problem for you all along

>Doesn't actually go anywhere.
The point of DaS III is that whether you were an abyss fag or a fire fag it doesn't matter because the world is about to end regardless of the first flames state.
Pontiff Sulyvhan was seemingly preparing civilization to embrace its end by trying to prevent the ritual of the fire linking, seemingly to preserve Aldrich or possibly because he believed the deep would come sooner if the flame completely faded.

The Abyss watchers are just another example to show how the abyss didn't even matter.
The entire legion whom became cinder were brought back to life by the bell, but then preceded to return to their ruined base to murder each other over and over again. Why did they do this? Well we find their tag-alongs, the followers in the painted world of all places. These soldiers were basically fanboys of the Abyss Watchers who actually hunted down those who became corrupted like Artorias. Why would they be there? The same reason the Viking guys were there, they became pointless, homeless and ultimately lost people.

There is no more abyss to hunt, enough of the dark soul was probably burned that it was feasible possible for Gael to accumulate all of it at the very end of world, that's why the Abyss Watchers were doing nothing but murdering themselves, there was no more abyss, just them.

>enjoying r1 spam and roll spam in open arenas
>praising the blatant rehashing
fucking yikes

way to dismiss the entire post because you can't actually defend a game as shit as ds3
>b-but they're a lord of cinder
lord of cinder is a meaningless title that was thrown in last minute in an attempt to patch up the holes they made when they cut everything interesting from the game.
>b-but orenstein
yes, orenstein in ds2 was shit too. that doesn't make it any better when ds3 does it.
>this was the real problem all along
you're probably retarded if you think that one sentence out of the 15+ I wrote detailing why it's shit was the "real problem."

I didnt like dark souls 2 and was constantly frustrated by the game when I played it on the release. but at least I have some memories of it. dark souls 3 is just lukewarm. polished to the point that the game becomes too fluid for its own good. incredibly boring game with nothing going for it.

Story progression was better. Instead of going down 4 paths that felt unconnected, it really felt like a real world.

>Lord of cinder is meaningless because cut content
DaS had loads of cut content as well, that doesn't mean Andre is Gwyn's son.

>R1 spam and roll spam
This is how melee classes in Souls play believe it or not. When I watch someone play DS2 on twitch that's what they do as well except it's just janky and unfun compared to the rest of the series.

>you can't defend a game as shit as ds3
It's more that I have given up on trying to get through to moronic ds2 cocksuckers who think it's the peak Soulsborne experience when that kind of game was a fluke and given BB/DS3/Sekiro they won't produce an abomination like that ever again.

is there anything more sad than seeing 2/3 fags compete for the second last place of the series? whats the point? in the end they both will be the bottom of the barrel games of the series.

>instant healing, no way to get punished
>infinite rolls
>I can count on my buddies to proeect me from the invaders
It's the game I had been waiting for since DaS1.

It really isn't. Other Souls games have more of a focus on stamina management and spacing, DS3 plays like a shittier BB which itself is a shittier version of a typical action game, it just has enough flourish and style to make the basic combat satisfying.

>lord of cinder is a meaningless title
Eh, I don't think so. I think the mere fact that we go from 1 Lord of Cinder to multiple, the fact that there's reference to embers and dying fires, and the fact that stagnation is a key theme is there to convey that the Fire weakens each time its linked, and requires more Lords and power to satiate the flame each time it dies down.

It's actually more autistic to try and imply that nothing can be better than DaS or BB, but that's literally an unspoken rule on Yea Forums.

>DS2 cocksucker
>thinks DS2 is the 2nd worst From game ahead of only the abortion known as DS3
You would defend DS3 if you could, but you can't so you don't even try and resort to labeling anyone who disagrees with you as a ds2fag. Typical.
and don't ever put DS3 next to Sekiro or Bloodborne again, that's just disrespectful.

2 and 3 are both very shit sequels to an alright spin off. if 3 was an individual entry like 2 was with its own distant kingdom and had 0 fanservice it wouldnt have the same amount of autistic defenders.

Typical Ds2 shitter, too embarrassed to just admit they like the worst from game more than the actual good ones. No one's falling for it retard

Did you miss the fact that the abyss watcher were the lord of cinders? That means that they link the flame at one point. However, they didn’t want to do it again because they saw farron keep in ruin on being on the verge of being overran by both the force of lost izalith and the abyss (the darkwraithes). However, they also get corrupted themselves (or the abyss watchers leftover at the ruin got corrupted and the revived group went back to fight them)
All lord of cinders have some power that allow them to link the flame. Chosen undead could link it by using souls of the lords. After the souls are gone, other lord of cinder had to use something else and perhaps the flame was no longer strong as the time chosen undead linked it.
The ones not powerful to link it failed and became the ashen ones.
Yhorn linked it as a pyromancer giant using the profaned flame (the chaos flame power) and blew up his city in the process
Aldrich linked it by getting so powerful after consuming so many people
The Legion of Undead linked it because they were able to combine all of their soul with a same purpose (represented by 2nd phase of the fight)
Ashen one finally linked it by using the souls of the lords of cinder

man, these threads are boring

the absolute state of ds3tards
