When Gwyn's theme kicked in... Man. I definitely teared up and I definitely died as a result. Sadly there aren't many good reaction videos out there of it. It's just so good

I didn't cry, but it was like, "if the Soul of Cinder is the culmination of all the lords who kindled the flame, then how about Gw...whoa!"

what 3s gameplay is so tight. a huge improvement over 2, unless u were referring to bloodborne?

3 is riddled with flaws from the top down

This.

When Gwyn's theme kicked in I eyerolled out loud irl. That game's massive fan service to one, shit poise mechanic...or lack thereof, and on-rails progression made it a fucking chore to trudge through.

DS3 isn't linear; it opens up in the middle, and you can "sequence break" it early in the game by killing the old woman, which frees the dancer

How fucking sad that anyone gets emotionally invested in these games. They are devoid of any meaningful story.

which makes it a drop in quality? can i get a breakdown?

Game is extremely linear. 1 touch combos in PvP. Hornet Ring. Forgettable world+bosses. The covenants are even worse in 3. Stamina system is too forgiving with how often you can roll. Getting rid of the best feature from 2, powerstancing, and instead replacing it with boring weapon arts. On the subject of bosses they are way too easy, especially once NG+. Boss health barely increases while player power spikes.

Each one has so many positives and so many negatives associated with them that I refuse to put them in any sort of ranking. They're all fucking great for their own reasons in my opinion

iirc, Gwyn was the first to link the Flame, the Dark Souls character was the first to rekindle it, and by Dark Souls 3, many others have rekindled it, too, since the span of thousands (or more) years lie between Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3

i think overall 3s bosses were lacking but the standouts are absolutely amazing imo. pontiff, princes, dancer, watchers, friede, and there are a few im looking forward to that i have yet to fight

I fucking loved Dancer and Princes. Top tier fights.

On my first playthrough if 3 I was playing a twin swords dex Gerudo lady, so it was almost a mirror with the Dancer when I fought it. Really proud to have killed it first try, one of the best experience I've ever had in a souls game

u i will discourse with

isnt poise in the game? also how is it on rails? i feel like i have a ton of freedom. none of my playthrus have been the same yet


There is no reason why I should be able to get staggered twice by a dagger weighing less than two units of weight while I am wearing all Havels armor pieces. Hyper armor in theory and in practice makes no fucking sense and I detest it when they remplemented it back to Dark Souls 2 (the shittiest Souls game to date) after Demon's.

In terms of freedom, I'm comparing it to the open ended first half of Dark Souls with the master key. Hell, you don't even need it as much due to the plethora of jumpskips it has.
