I wouldn't say that. Look at the Infusion system. Blood, Blessed, Deep, Simple, and especially Poison Infusion are basically worthless, while Fire and Deep feel completely extraneous because they just fill the same role as Raw.
Blessed is hilarious because one of the best PvE benefits of Blessed in Dark Souls 1, preventing skeletons from respawning, is barely a factor in Dark Souls 3 because some skeletons only respawn once and others don't respawn at all, so you're better off doing much more damage to them with a Raw Infusion even on a Faith build. And let's not even compare it to the crazy damage and regeneration of Demon's Souls Blessed weapons.
Bloodborne is what I would call distilled. Dark Souls 3 is bloated. I enjoy the variety, but there's a lot of crap.
