From Software Dark Souls 3

[sullynathan]

I just watched IGN and Gamespot beat that boss a bunch of times. I hear that the games journo version is easy.

This boss looks like a super Artorias. Man, I am going to have fun beating the fuck out of this boss.

No dedicated servers for pvp ... perfect choice for faster combat.

 

[Jezal_k23]

Yeah I suppose shitstorm is not the right word. It hasn't really caught on ye

Spoiler

spoiler for apparently the hardest boss that streamers are allowed to talk/stream about. holy fuck they went a bit overboard with this one...

Didn't open the spoiler, but... the fuck? They went overboard with a boss? They really did?


Damn that's so great, after they played it so safe with DS2. I'M PRETTY HYPED

24th of March. Goodbye thread.

 

[Raghar]

There is a commotion on pirate sites that streamers received full ENGLISH game before paid customers.

You can express rage too.

 

[AngryEddy]

Will be $30 in a few months. Picking it up then unless something is horribly wrong.

I've seen multiple streamers complaining about stuttering and poor optimization. Also, the environments and enemies are rehashed from bloodborne and most of the NPCs are fanwanked from Dark Souls 1, Fuck From.

 

[Jezal_k23]

DS1 all over again performance wise? I'd hope not especially after the success of DS2 in this regard (even if it took downgrades).

 

[Ivan]

After Dark Souls 1, I don't think I'll ever play a modern game that makes me wonder, "okay, so where the fuck do I go next?"

 

[AngryEddy]

You fight Ornstein for a 3rd time in a row with the Bed of Chaos flying around. Spoiler alert.

Well at least it's not the exact same fight copy pasted again. Makes me think a lot about the pursuer's fight in DS2 for some reason though. Maybe it's all the shield bashes.

 

[Old Hans]

cool another Ser Gregor Clegane boss fight..

 

[Lord Romulus]

Still kind of miffed that so many Twitch and Youtube streamers get the game 3 weeks earlier for free. Especially when most of them don't care about the game outside of boosting views, a lot of them just outright said it was too hard/too easy to get lost, got bored and gave up. One of the guys who got a copy gave up within hours and decided to stream The Division instead.

Do people really get lost in Dark Souls? I get that modern retards used to linear "cinematic" trash can be disoriented by the handful of branching options you get but come on, Dark Souls doesn't have complex level design.

The entire situation is awful.

For the next 3 weeks the entire game will be streamed on twitch because of some oversight from Namco.

I wish I had the strength not to watch the streams but a lot of information will be spilled anyway.

So, some fuckers will get the chance to play the game and spoil it for everybody. They will rub this shit in the face of paying customers.

In addition to this, it seems that the game is boring. Ignoring the BB crap, they managed to release some shit more uninteresting than DS2-vanilla. Also a lot of lag in pvp.

 

[Murk]

The Bloodborne aesthetic is strong, which bothers me somewhat. I hope it feels/looks better when playing, but from videos it really looks like a mess. But then, turning motion blur off will be the first thing I do.

I wonder how online shit will work -- reading from the setup, I get the feel it'll be like ds1/bb instead of ds2 which is a damn shame.

shield ornstein reminds me of the poop sewer

[Murk]

The recycling is getting a bit silly

Spoiler

you kill some big knight doggy (doggy knight?) and then batwing demons (same from ds1) take you to not-anor londo with similar starting point atop staircase

ds 1 so good they decided to remake it in bloodborne assets i guess

edit: there's like a red sunbro cov now (orange) and you can get 4v2s going on... also, reds can chug estus.

 

[CptMace]

Rather have them remake ds1 than ds2 tho.

nb : except with the gedosato mod on, then ds2 is way better than the first. But, well, mods.

 

[Murk]

I don't mean visually, i mean in content (visually it's more like ds 1 + bloodborne in that sense).

edit: lucatiel's mirrah armor + reskinned-drakeblood armor is back too. I think this game may just have fucking everything in it.

edit 2: r1 strats are strong as ever it seems. maybe i'll like the pvp yet :D

 

[AngryEddy]

Final boss area is the same final boss area from Bloodborne, what a shitshow.

Spoiler

 

[CptMace]

I mean in content too.
Gedosato may be a purely graphical fix, it changes the gameplay. Making the torch useful and stuff.

 

[sullynathan]

All these super aggressive bosses will give a heart attack

 

[Talby]

Behead those who post unmarked DS3 spoilers.

 

[Morgoth]

Something about the combat and AI seems a little bit off. I think I'll "demo" DS3 first to get a good feel, and when it feels right,

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

I dont really care about visual rehashes/recycles. Honestly there are no other games that hit that right note with dark fantasy setting/aesthetics. Dragon Age is fucking Disneyland and Twicher 2/3 is pure hollywood fantasy with couple slavish elements.

It seems that bosses in 1st half of the game are rather easy with some puzzle elements that makes fighting them trivial(apparently

Spoiler

storm ruler

is back) but end game bosses are pure rape train. 20 more days avoiding spoliers

Also fuck you Namco for giving access to English version of game to some e-celebs from that cancerous Twitch.tv 3 fucking weeks before release. FFS in 20 days every single secret will be found. I got spoiled with some bosses names today cause someone uploaded DS3 OST and fucking Youtube decided to show those videos on front page in recommended videos for me
