Honestly, what is the appeal of Dark Souls 3? Is it just bait for nostalgia fags?

Dark Souls but with better graffix, faster combat, and with more Bloodborne edginess.
I love the game but DS1 is better.

I will never get this argument, a single fucking area comes back, along with Gwyndolin and a bunch of Artorias fanboys.

How is that not thematically appropriate? The dark souls world has always been walking through the still-warm corpse of some place, when we get to Anor Londo for the second time, we're walking through it's long dead skeleton.

You retards only bring up Sekiro just so you can shit on it because you’re so insecure about your Sony exclusive. Jesus Christ get over it. BB was average souls clone and Sekiro wiped the floor with anything From had ever made in the past. Get over it. Sekiro is a beautiful game with a beautiful story and perfectly honed gameplay for maximum replay with its length and endings and unlock system. It’s the height of what From can do. You don’t have to deny it any longer.

Poise was literally broken when the game came out

Many of the areas are styled off bloodborne, many areas are copy pasted from ds1, and the character themself is pure ds, like I said it's just a careless mishmash of styles and mechanics and the result is a trash game

You can make a sequel without tying the story together.

*btfos you*

I can't say I have a favourite Souls game because none of them have the perfect package of mechanics. However only DS1 blew me away and I like DS3 the least.

And now that they turned it from 0 to 1,its still nothing like it was in the other games and barely has an effect on anything. Weight and armor amount to nothing, and barely effect stamina regen. Poise is now in the middle of you attacking rather than you being attacked (when it was just off in general for the first year). 3 is shit.

Maybe learn to enjoy getting to play games how you want rather than in only a shitty b-tier action game way that tries to copy BB and fails

Only Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 where great.
2 was shit with shit presentation with very few redeeming qualities that you really need to look for.
BB was a linear mess that introduces the TO FAST FOR YOU XDD audience. While being overblown by Sonykeks due to it's good presentation.
DS3 was rehash shit + the Linearity garbage from BB pasted on.
Sekiro was just some boring ass action game with everything stripped away from it.

This, but I actually finished 3 and one of the DLCs then got bored, with 2, I've literally never made it past Dragon Aerie without cheating, shit just gets too boring and tedious.

Basically 3 is more accessible and flashy, 2 has a shitton more content and variety, but 1 is where it's really at.

Thanks zoomer

It's just shitposting, if anything you might argue it copied areas from DeS since places like Lothric is largely inspired by Boletaria or the prison in Irythill is pretty much Tower of Latria 2.0, but alas, DS2 kiddies never played DeS to begin with so they have to pretend DS3 rips off DS1 when it has many more references to DeS than the rest of the franchise.

The volcano is way behind the windmill. If you paid attention to the game you would have noticed that this particular part, and many others, show memory gaps. Just like how it's sunny, you go through a tunnel and suddenly it's raining and you're in front of a castle.
The first fucking cinematic tell you that everyone forget things. that's why you come to Drangleic, to find a cure. After mytha you walk for a long time until you reach the volcano. But why on earth would they make you walk for ages, when they can directly give you the elevator? If you're not retarded you'll understand that your character just forgets parts of his journey. Just like you see only a tiny sunken part of Heide's tower of flame from majula, and it seems extremely distant, while it's just after a small tunnel. Or even how you can meet an NPC, meet him again after a tunnel or a bridge, and he'll act like it's been days since he last saw you, while it's been 2 minutes.
Jesus, do shitposters even play the fucking games they shitpost about? Of all the things you could have complained about in DaS2, you chose the one thing that's clearly explained in the game, from the very first cinematic. Want something that makes no sense geographically speaking? Ash lake.

If it weren't for contracts Namco Bandai would absolutely make a Dark Souls 4 and it would absolutely sell. This thread is full of stupidity and bait but you're a true king among retards if you think making an apocalyptic story "ensures" that.

Dark souls 3 is the refinement of the formula and the best game From Sofware has ever make.

It takes all of the series' best attributes going back to Demons' Souls and combines them for the quintessential modern Souls experience. Dark Souls beats it in pure game design but 3 is the second best of the souls series.

You have no clue how those contracts are setup. They will for sure setup an internal studio in the future to ripoff FROM like WB did for Rocksteady. They aren't doing DaS4 because they still have a close relationship to FROM and are publishing Elden Ring.

Dark Souls 1 is garbage in nearly every way.

Oh get the fuck over yourself it has movement quality-of-life (rolls in every direction) and super-armor instead of poise and that's it for actual player changes. A large amount of enemies are brought from previous games as well like darkwraiths and silver knights and almost all basic hollows, people who whine about rapidly-attacking Bloodborne enemies are specifically referring to those niggas on the crosses in the woods and the Pontiff beasts. Dark Souls 2's gear had constant references to Dark Souls 1 along with things like a random Ornstein in Heide's Tower, elaboration on what the hell Dark is and what its place is in the world, most of the returning gear from DS1 noting in their descriptions they're attempts to reproduce ancient weapons and armor.

Why was Anor Londo's other half cut off? That lead to the Undead Asylum? I was so confused when I arrived at the place. Was Irithyll supposed to be related to that?

Because all Souls games are unfinished turds

You can bait the dragon to land on the bridge and run past it or you can use an alt route to bypass it completely. You get a strong weapon if you shoot it's tail though.
If it's still giving you trouble you can use the master key to avoid triggering it's arrival in the first place, just skip undead burg.

totally unnoticeable change to the average player and super-armor on a conceptual level is not all that different from "how much super-armor do i have?"

Hell, I've been playing Kings Field on the PS2 and it's amazing how much shit got carried over, like the well in your starting area that you have to increase your hp enough to survive the fall for.

These games are fun, and I bet Elden Ring will be too. You don't have to get so worked up.

Cherrypicked as fuck. You picked literally the worst looking location in the game and cranked the gamma up. DS2 has tons of great looking areas. It's a shame that one of the ugliest in the game (Forest of Fallen Giants) is so early.

plebbit is on the other side of the internet kid

Pretty much just decide whether you want to mainly use weapons or mainly use magic. Pyromancer's a fun build, high INT and FAI allows you to cast all magic and their build is innately geared towards the Dark magic across all three spell types. Just get your STR/DEX up however high it needs to be to equip the weapon you want and then Chaos or Dark infuse it.

level vig to 27 first, then a bit of endurance. keep armor % below 70 to midroll. you dont really need to level vit unless you want a super heavy armor build but those tend to be shit. whatever build you want, level its damage stat/stats to 30 and then go back to health until about 35

Boiling, illogical hatred for a game is the only opinion allowed here, pal.

personally I'd rather have the better environments near the end after a really good intro. hook me and then build the good shit up. satisfying endings are better than a tapered off anti-climax of quality

That's because DS3 is cobbled together assets from Dark Souls and Bloodborne, which is why it's so garbage. It doesn't have its own visual style or identity, it's literally a remix of the things people liked best throughout Soulsborne.

how do you explain sekiro looking pretty similar

>Download a fix for the garbage movement deadzone after a couple zones of frustration
>Doesn't work, but now I don't see summon signs
Any way to check if I've been softbanned? Not sure if they didn't like me trying to unfuck their shitty controls or if the game's just dead beyond the first zone.

Dark Souls 3 had some of the most fun multiplayer ever, if you went into it with the right mindset.

Dark souls 2 aged like milk. Release it was great now it's bad
Dark souls 3 aged like a Mexican women. Jesus the game is almost insulting bad after all the leaks from the beta
Sekiro is the best souls game soulsbabbies can whine all they want I love multiplayer and invasions but i can live without them if it means the game is fucking finished like sekiro.

They could've spent more time and effort on new areas than just repeating assets. So much assets were wasted on stuff from 1 it got old quick.
Felt like a breath of fresh air after how slow 2 was.
I agree. Combat is too fast and aggressive. Feels good but at the same time the pvp is equally as messy.
It's not a slog. The gameplay is very free-roam sandboxy like Dishonored and mgsv. It takes a while to be able to move around smoothly but once you get it, you'll be zipping around kicking ass.

All their games are fucking lazy, the only reason they are fun is the threat of being invaded by another player at any time.
Without the multiplayer to carry them, you just run through the game once, pick an ending, reload, pick another ending, repeat until finished. You've now seen everything the game has to offer.

This is only like 5% of ds2's content though. I even forgot that they had this shit.

Interestingly, they still use the pre-downgrade version for the bonfire icon.

>threat of being invaded
how is it a threat at all?
>oh no I died to a lag backstab I have to walk through the 3 second long level again

this arguement is fucking stupid, if you actually go to the windmill you dont see any mountains or shit just the green sky

It's hard to tell whether blatant DS3 hate threads are made by DS2 fags angry about the fact that everyone made fun of their game, or BB fags angry that the game isn't exclusive.

Controls are tight, PvP is challenging but about as good as Souls combat gets for the time being. Invasions are absolutely fucked in terms of balance so you have to outplay people very hard. This suits me fine. It's actually very fun when you git gud. I've grinded through the campaign like 6 times just to get different builds to rek shit with. Playerbase is sitting solid enough to get plenty of action.

Can't wait for DS2's release day on the Switch.
