Dark Souls III [Import OT] Kindle the fire, one last time

BB isn't that bad, Dark Souls 1 PS3 is NOTABLY worse. Hearing conflicting reports saying it's like BB and DkS1 makes no sense...there is a big difference between the two, it can only be closer to one.

It depends because the framerate in bloodborne gets really bad in certain area with multiplayer. Like 10-15 FPS.

The framerate in BB's multiplayer is screwed up but it holds up relatively well in single player save a which is what people are concerned about at his point in time.
 
So a couple of questions...

- Since the hub doesn't seem to be connected to the rest of the world (which I think is a huge downer), how about the rest of the world? Is the rest of the world connected?

- How does pyromancy work? Scaling and upgrading etc.

- How are bows? I heard you can now move and shoot and roll and shoot etc.
 
Come ooooon! So many people are streaming and XBO owners can already play it in English. I didn't think the wait would be so bad...
 
It's cool this will most likely run at a relatively stable 60 fps on decent PCs, but the frame pacing problems will still be there. In IGN's stream you could see the stuttering even when it showed the game was still at 60 fps.

Nope. On PC you have RTSS or NV Inspector.
 
Just enjoyed my first little incursion into pvp. Invaded a guy and his two helpers and was able to dispatch all three with the help of a couple mobs and the rapier's incredible weapon arts heavy attack. The connection seemed solid the whole way through what ended up being a six or seven minute fight. Nice and smooth, no noticeable phantom hits. Felt way better than DSI or DSII. Didn't do enough invading in Bloodborne to compare it though.

Out of curiosity what happens to the guy in Firelink who gives you the cracked red eye orbs? He's gone all of a sudden in my hub.
 
Kinda heartbreaking to see this dude streaming for 9 hours straight only to spend the last 3 hours on the same boss..I look forward to hearing and seeing where other folks end up biting it consistently.
 
having fun but this game will be goat on PC. framerate holds it back hard.

btw, I'm lost in some swamp getting poisoned all the time. I lit some flame or something ubt I'm honestly not sure wtf to do. I killed a darkwraith.

I'm on stream (taking a break to eat atm) if anyone is curious. I need halp.

Do that 2 more times, search around for the bowls full of fire in the higher up areas, when you get all 3 door opens..once through the door, getting to the boss is almost as hard as the boss, so just run until you find the fog gate dude! That boss has had streamers locked down for hours!

There is a closer bonfire than that...
 
I hope that the game is not easy like some people are saying and it offers a good challenge through out the entire game.

Im only two bosses in so this could change massively, but the only times I've died are just through a bit of stupidity (mainly lack of attention). Both bosses barely even hit me.

I'm pretty mediocre at Souls too.
 
If you don't think bloodborne is bas, you won't be bothered

Good. Because I'm watching some clips from Eurogamer talk about frame pacing issues, and other than a graphical line actually telling there is some frame pacing, I can't see shit.

Framerate drops I see, but if it's comparable to BB, we'll be fine.

Patch fixing performance will probably come out after most people have finished the game.

I've played every Souls game and I recently finished Bloodborne, and I'm not finding it easy. I think I've died around 5 times in the first area(Lothric), mainly due to not knowing the enemy placement and making dumb mistakes. Although there's some pretty tough enemies early on.

It's also taking me a while to adjust to the combat after recently finishing Bloodborne, but I had the same issue going from Dark Souls 2 to Bloodborne.
 
You gonna play, with shield or without? Melee or casting? That will account into how hard the game is.

No shield and melee brought me some pain, thats for sure.

I'm a melee user (love to use miracles as well) and I mix up my style while playing so maybe I will start with sword and shield then switch to dual wielding. Anyway, it's good to know that people are dying in the game and there is tough enemies in the first area. One question I have: How is the overall experience compared to the previous games in the series?
 
I've been going around in circles in the fucking swamp for hours now trying to find the third brazier.

I'm ready to throw the game out the window
 
They're all in similar looking areas far as I remember.

you think?

everything looks the same and I can barely move. I've ended up at the same spot over and over and over just pointlessly going around in circles and dying for hours.

this is four or five orders of magnitute more obnoxious and tedious than blightown in souls 1

I hate this game.
 
Crystal mage
was a very fun boss.

a full blown witch
as a boss? about fucking tome From.

I think most people will hate it, but I loved it.
 
Is the
Abyss Watchers
bonfire supposed to be glitched and not lightable?

Edit: All good, it decided to light after four deaths.

You're not paying attention then, its not a circle to begin with. Get some rest and try again sometime later.
