    Dark Souls 3 really was when FromSoft perfected the Dark Souls formula. After Bloodborne they made the combat and general gameplay faster without losing the elements that make it Dark Souls. Almost every boss in the game is great, and even the weakest bosses in the game are better than most from Dark Souls 1 and 2.

    Apart from everything else, its pretty crazy how this game turns into a complete mindfuck about halfway through. "Is that fucking Anor Londo", "wait how am I back at firelink shrine and why am I fighting this dude again", "what the hell is Ornstein's armor doing here", and so on. At first we get somewhat derivative references, but they get both more obvious and more strange the further in you get. Eventually you get to the Dreg Heap and the game stops caring about any rules of space or time. Somehow the original DS1 firelink still exists just below the Earthen Peak from DS2. You realize Midir's arena looks familiar, go digging, and realize its the same spot where we saw the Furtive Pygmy in the DS1 opening cinematic. The Profaned Capital looks familiar, you go digging, and it turns out it was built on top of Eleum Loyce, which already pulled the "is that fucking Lost Izalith" bit in DS2.

      @@LeftyPantaridis Honestly, most of my knowledge comes from trawling forums, blogs, Reddit threads, etc. IMO Elden Ring has many more lore videos and of much higher quality than Dark Souls has had, so I tend not to like the Dark Souls lore videos as much.

    ds3 is also hands down the most replayable among the 3. the game having 3 endings, (4 if you count the hidden one) the majority of the NPCs having multiple-i guess you could call them endings as well, makes you curious how things would play out, honestly. like, you have so many options what to do on different playthroughs despite the game being mostly linear. you could get bored of it, sure but once you pick it back up, it just always hits man. cinema

      I wouldn’t say it’s the most replayable, not to say it isn’t very replayable, but Dark Souls 2 has the best build variety, and armor variety while still giving a large amount of freedom to how you traverse the game compared to DS3. Dark Souls 1 is the best for speed running, and blazing through on new play throughs due to the crazy connectedness of the world in general.

    • @nalce-g
      @nalce-g 2 месяца назад +1

      i get that having a wide build variety is great but my excitement is still the same when i get to try just a new weapon on a different playthrough so i dont think it does much of a difference. also, ds2 is waaaay to freaking long and miserable (for the wrong reasons) for it to be that replayable for me. for ds1, the difference is honestly not that much, there are NPCs with multiple endings as well, even a diff cutscene with sif. but i think ds3 just does it on a level above ds1. where the interactions are more interesting, especially anri, siegward, the bloodborne looking dude, and etc. so for me, it's ds3 > ds1 > ds2. doesnt mean that ds2 is a bad game, it's getting a lot of unnecessary hate for sure but story wise? definitely not a weak link in the souls series

    I spent a long time playing PVP in DS3. I decided to take advantage of Poise as a meme but it worked so well. Sunlight spear, cast speed +3 charm, 60 faith, and enough poise to face tank great swords and you're in business. I made sure to hide my charm with the Estocs to keep them from knowing my shenanigans thinking I was just another 'one of those guys'. The satisfaction of them thinking they got one past me only to lose most of or their entire health bar was great.

      Best Story and Gameplay is sus take.
      Ds3 have the best boss fights not the most fun and good gameplay. Much simple and less puzzles, just boring enemies spammers of attacks (normally people just run because it's so worthless giving minimal attention to they). The level design is boring and there's much less secrets. The Weapons Art are useless, the shields are useless, the bows are useless, the magic is pratically useless, even the supportive miracles are useless, the consumables are most useless, the armor's poise are useless too and the stamina management/punitive mechanics is almost non existing in this game, for a Dark Souls game, this is pretty sad and boring not get punished by doing wrong choices.
      If you see people talking good about Ds3 like Charlie, they are only rushing into a straight line and killing bosses with melee weapons, this actually is the most boring gameplay of all 3 Dark Souls, too easy, too simple, too repetitive, no variety.
      Story besides The Painter Side Quest there's nothing that can argue about. There's only the End of Fire (go and finish the cycle. That's all) and some mid stories like that giant who i forgot the name. Comparing to Ds2 main story of fighting a pre destined end of the curse and some side stories like Vendrick, Aldia, Nashandra and Manus being much better.
      Do i need to compare to Ds1 story? It's just better

      "Best Story and Gameplay is sus take.
      Ds3 have the best boss fights not the most fun and good gameplay. Much simple and less puzzles, just boring enemies spammers of attacks (normally people just run because it's so worthless giving minimal attention to they). The level design is boring and there's much less secrets. The Weapons Art are useless, the shields are useless, the bows are useless, the magic is pratically useless, even the supportive miracles are useless, the consumables are most useless, the armor's poise are useless too and the stamina management/punitive mechanics is almost non existing in this game, for a Dark Souls game, this is pretty sad and boring not get punished by doing wrong choices.
      If you see people talking good about Ds3 like Charlie, they are only rushing into a straight line and killing bosses with melee weapons, this actually is the most boring gameplay of all 3 Dark Souls, too easy, too simple, too repetitive, no variety.
      Story besides The Painter Side Quest there's nothing that can argue about. There's only the End of Fire (go and finish the cycle. That's all) and some mid stories like that giant who i forgot the name. Comparing to Ds2 main story of fighting a pre destined end of the curse and some side stories like Vendrick, Aldia, Nashandra and Manus being much better.
      Do i need to compare to Ds1 story? It's just better"

    Can you believe it? I didn't even know you can one shot the Dragon the first time I came across it, it's only after killing it with my sword, I searched up to see how other people did it just out of interest... you know exactly what I saw.

    I hated DS3 because its like the enemies are from Bloodborne (In some cases literally just re-skins), but the player character is still a janky DS1/DS2 model and every enemy in the game is just an R1 spammer with infinite stamina. You have to deliberately forget how to play with timing and positioning and instead just stunlock everything with R1 in order to succeed. Its a bad game in my opinion because it was caught between the transition from slow souls games and the post-Bloodborne speed increase.

    ds3 is the best dark souls game in my opinion as well, but bloodborne is better than all of them by a long shot.

    I've played this before, but I've never actually completed it myself. I eventually will though and it's always good to watch someone play through it.
