Ya know guys I'm getting mixed feeling about playing this while high. I mean my mind gets blown everytime I see a new boss... But I get so fucking lost in these games haha

What the...hearing magic does low damage is very disappointing given that you have to sacrifice healing estus for the magic refilling estus. your already paying for it in lower survivability.
 
Hi guys. Hope you're enjoying it. I'm waiting for the official release and thus avoiding most DS3 threads. I just want to know one thing though:
Is the "melting" sun from the leaked screens in the final game?

Yes or no?
 
The last boss I fought was
vordt of boreal valley
and I'm about to head into
Farron Keep
. Haven't fought a boss in hours.

Simple yes or no, have I missed a boss?

Yes. It looks little different, and there's also an eclipse.
The huge snake thing is gone.
Destroyed buildings/landscape are in but again, look different.
 
I have only gotten one hour in (rerolled from Knight to the Barbarian looking guy) but wow.

This game is everything I wanted after Dark Souls 1. It's taken 9 years, but this is what I have been waiting for.

Question.. (obviously early game, when you get to the first rooftops area)...
do the transforming abyss monsters respawn?
 
I love the moveset of the Claws in this. Love that Vega rolling move and the X-slash. Wish it did more damage but you can make it work. I just feel like for a lot of enemies in this game slow, heavy weapons are preferable to fast-hitting weapons.

Why 9 years? Dark Souls was released at 2011.
 
Just defeated the
Abyss Watcher
. What a battle holy smokes! This game just keeps getting better and better. Dark Souls 3 for me is already better than Demon's Souls, DK 1, and DK 2. About to beat out Bloodborne at this point too. And to consider I'm only about 1/3 of the way through (16 hours played so far), the content in this game is crazy!
 
I asked this awhile back but I don't think I directly got a reply: how's the interconnectedness of the world? Strong or disappointing?

Pretty strong. About on par with DS1. Apart from the main hub being seperate, everything else connects and there's a good bit of doubling back.
 
Hmmm. Am I missing something? Is my game bugged? Mid-late game spoiler question -

I'm at Yhorm. Storm Ruler is doing even less damage to him than my regular greatsword... tried weapon art, charged attacks, still only doing 6p damage to him... what's going on here?
 
Is the consensus that this is the best dark souls yet...

Because this game is phenomenal :)

I still have trouble ordering them, but it's definitely up there if it's not the top of the list. It's definitely the one that has clearly evolved the furthest from the original formula. It's brought in the most from past games since it's had the most to pull from.
 
Hey guys, few build questions:


1. Any way to respec?

2. Any 'smart' caps to stop at for each stat, like the previous games, 20, 40 vigor, etc, so on? Assume I'm playing a dex/roll fighter.

So like 40 vigor, 40 end, etc, what should I gun for?

3. What's the earliest 100% shield? I heard it's the early
black knights
but I've killed over 20 with no luck.

4. I just beat
Vordt of the Boreal Valley
. How many Estus should I have? I have only 4 right now.
 
Okay, slayed
Aldrich Devourer of Gods

Now I get his nickname.

The mofo had Nito, Gwyndolyn and Priscilla's powers.

Even the music was a mix.

hold L2 in two-handed mode for ~5 sec until the sword powers up and then I think R2 to unleash.
 
Look at this jump you can make early in the game to get access to some stuff early.

early game spoil obviously

this allows access to
the crow, an estus flask upgrade shard, and the serpent ring
right at the very start of the game without buying any $20,000 key. Only took a few tries honestly though maybe I got lucky.

i want easy mode like xbox one for this boss

;_;

Summon help? That's pretty much easy mode

I love the moveset of the Claws in this. Love that Vega rolling move and the X-slash. Wish it did more damage but you can make it work. I just feel like for a lot of enemies in this game slow, heavy weapons are preferable to fast-hitting weapons.

Better than dual Caestus from DkS2? Loved the moveset, the ring that gave you dual Caestus' moveset with just your bare fists made for a hilarious playthrough

e: i assume claws are like fist weapons anywho
 
Being purely anecdotal here, but let's assume Bloodborne is your favorite Souls game. How is this compared to that? I went back to play Dark Souls II after a year of Bloodborne having never played it before, and it's terrible by comparison IMO.
 
damn, the boss fights are really starting to kick it up a notch lateish game
oceiros the consumed king was pretty crazy
 
Dat final boss,
that Gwyn style and music on final phase was glorious

pretty much BB's level of greatness, but with much more content(areas, build variety etc)

my big complains that unlike BB, the levels design wasn't constantly good and the world wasn't brilliantly connected like DS1 or central yahrnam and it's surroundings and felt like DS2's

great game and it sucks that I will probably won't have time to play it in a week or two.

Bloodborne was my favorite Souls.

Dark Souls III is better in everything besides uniqueness of locations and maybe lore.
Gameplay-wise is a lot better.
Bosses-wise they're on par.

Funny, I like DS more than Bloodborne, not necessarily in setting but in terms of game pacing and weapon / armor variety.

It all depends on what you're looking for in your Souls game.

Do you want quicksteps? Weapon arts in this game will let you do that.

Do you want to play offensively and not shield as much? It's doable, I did it in DSII and I often do it in DS playthroughs. There's equipment that lets you play similarly to bloodborne (health regen from hits, etc.)

Do you want lovecraftian horror? Probably not gonna get it here.

This is not a bloodborne sequel, it's a dark souls sequel.

Now, people are saying it's like a good balance between DS1 and Bloodborne, if that helps answer your question.
 
So hyped. Just preordered the Collectors Edition Guide. Hope it makes for an interesting companion piece to the game

How is the area variety in this game?
 
Can anyone tell me if the game has areas that don't look similar to Bloodborne? So far, everything I've seen the game looks very much like Bloodborne. The other Dark Souls games had so many varied areas, and great use of color. All I see in the early footage is desaturated and reused assets(which is fine if the doll them up to look different).
