They did? I guess have been a little bit late to the party in the past then. Never noticed it before, at least not to this extent where I'm refilling faster than I can use them.

after learning my PC cant run this game and getting a refund im thinking of getting it for xbox one. How's the performance since the latest patch? Was it improved like the PS4 version.
Absolutely. They're as hard as Bloodborne enemies.

There might be something, but I couldn't find anything while briefly looking around. There are some enemies and loot, but nothing substantial. I may have missed something though.
Yes but the bosses seem easier.
The main thing I noticed when going through the game was how much health everything takes off, even when you have high vigor. Despite being the easiest Souls game overall, it's probably the most unforgiving at times. Stamina also depletes insanely quickly.
Strafing doesn't seem to work too well because of their shield bash.
tricking them to following you into the path of dragon fire and getting burned to death has been the most effective strategy, but that solution is really limited in scope

Just found some really cool stuff. Do this:
After going up a building, in the area after beating the fire monster with Onion man, walk around on the rooftops. You will see a tower on your right on which you can roll on its balcony. Get the Homeward Bones, and inside, you will see that you can roll on to the opposite ledge. Roll off again and enjoy your sweet Mirrah gear and Chloranty Ring!
I'm 25% in and the only area with absolutely noticible slowdown constantly is the starting area with all the fog on Xbox.
There are hitches here and there, but compared to Bloodborne's WTF crazy town frame pacing issue, I can handle the minor hitch here and there much better.
With frame pacing problems, Bloodborne seemed to lurch forward on me at random times. With Dark Souls 3, I'm not experiencing that... More like every now and then the world slows down. It's more manageable that way.
That's how I'm rationalizing it anyway.

Oh damn! Thanks for telling me. I'll head back there then ^^.
Every class of weapons does, yes.
With axes, for exemple, you buff your attack power for a limited time. Short swords give you a two handed stance from which you can launch a devastating light and heavy attack.

For someone that mains or uses a Regular Great axe, this one:
http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Greataxe
Should I go ahead and use that for my playthrough? Or try to focus on Greatswords?
Str build of course. I still have not found anyone talking about the greataxe!

Not really. Twinkling is best left for the better shields in the game.

Not feeling this game as much as bloodborne. Really loved bloodborne i rate it 9.5/10. This one feels a bit on the slow side for me. My first dark souls game BTW. I guess I really have to get used to the blocking mechanics. Also I miss the idea of getting a chance to get my lost life back immediately after I get hit.
My brain

Don't do 8am classes and 4hr of sleep 2 days in a row for DS3
I want to die.
Counterpoint- Illy is one of the best early weapons, I'm midgame and still using it.

hmmm
from the top of the
tower, you can see a square with a huge
walking around, if that is still undead settlement, how the fuck do you reach that place?

In response, I'm feeling this game much more than Bloodborne.
The pace of combat is more tactile and heavy.
You have actual viable builds besides "melee guy".
Playstyle customization in Dark Souls is through the roof... In Bloodborne, you pick the starting axe and spin to win the rest of the game.
Honestly, the only thing I'm missing from Bloodborne is the character getting completely covered in blood during combat...
I certainly am not missing Bloodborne's awful frame pacing issues.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, then
When you ride the elevator to meet up with the giant, you should hear a "hmmm" try and get off around there, there should be a platform for you to jump on.

I played the xb1 version so I couldn't play online and this happened to me too. So there's no way that this happened because somebody rated a message I wrote, also it's not possible either that someone lighted a bonfire I rested at previously. If someone rates one of your messages your health bar is replenished but you don't get one more estus. To me, it seems that estus replenishment is tied to time, as in every x minutes you get one more estus.
Fair enough. I was using a STR build so I just levelled my Broadsword in to a heavy broadsword and demolished end-game. Saved TT for my shield.

Are you still playing on PS4? I'm not finding the performance to be much better in this game than in bloodborne.
thanks. I just tried to fight a similar looking guy at that
bridge when you go up the elevator from the wolf covenent tower

I'm playing it on Xbox and performance is pretty mediocre. It's definitely not game breaking nor does it get in the way of the fun whatsoever, it's just noticable.
Yeah it has s bit of different sort of focus going on. More defensive play, more observing enemy moves required, and because there is no refilling of your estus between fires, you really have to prove that you've mastered an area so you can get to the end of it and still have estus left to fight the boss.

I am using a +2 Greataxe!
So far it's been really good but i am only at the fourth boss.I am pretty sure that it can take us until the end no problem.

I'm up to tree boss and using an uchi where do I start obtaining gems to infuse this thing? I know they are lizard drops but this is after where I'm at I take it? Also is closest bonfire to tree boss
that one before that one area where you get spears tossed at you?

That's weird, first I've heard of that and I haven't noticed it in my short play time. Do you still have just the 4 flasks (or combination of 4)that you start with? Have you upgraded them at all?

Makes you look awesome and gives mad HP boost until you die. I think it also has something to do with co-op if I'm remembering right, but I haven't done coop yet, so I can't say.

Generally speaking with all those bigger guys straight sword stance light attack will go through their block and open them to one or two swings. Also just backing up and baiting an attack followed by a 2-hand thrust works well. If want to give it a try and have it the claymore stance light attack will guard break and setup riposte style counterattack if they have their shield up and aren't at full stamina themselves. In terms of the

Gave up on Sorcerer and rolled a Warrior. Started out rough but once I got myself a Longsword (love quicker weapons like this) I was plowing through things. 1st 3 bosses down rather easily. Now I'm really enjoying this game.
There is but it doesn't work like BB.
You are now kindled meaning you get a health buff and can summon help. It's like the human and hollow forms of the past Dark Souls games. You lose those perks if you die.
Absolutely not.
I play all my multiplats on Xbox (Achievements, friends, controller, etc.).
Slowdown, absolutely. It happens rarely, but 25% in, it hasn't been game breaking. Nothing approaching Blighttown in Dark Souls 1.
Wonktastic frames being thrown massively out of order like Bloodborne where time LURCHES forward? No. I haven't seen that yet. Thank God.
When you are embered, you have a hp boost, can see summoning signs to summon co-op players to help, and you can also be invaded by other players looking to pvp you.
