As someone that usally rolls str, dex, or both i'm finding my faith run to quite entertaining. Also coming off of the X1 build the boss fights i had trouble with due to input lag aren't much of an issue on PS4.

Yes and I see a lift behind it.Its locked!
I've had a few occasions where an enemy suddenly has complete disregard for stamina; they go into an endless flurry of attacks until I die. Not sure what's triggering that.
Anyway, it's okay so far. Found some huge, open double doors that I shall presume is the next big boss. The art design is fantastic.
Moved from the Steam controller back to the 360 one and it's much better. Locking-on was awkward with the Steam controller even with a double-tap configuration.

I just beat CG, and...I...am unsure where else there is to go in the U

Okay, so I may have given L
B
to Snuggly. My bad for not looking at wiki or anything. I realize I may have cut myself off from a vendor, maybe some quests. How much am I really missing by having wasted that resource?

I got it to work 3 times last night. My invasions work fine along with coop. Its probably just that there are more sentinels then there are way of blue peeps out there
How do I check Nat? On xbox360 I remember checking if Nat was open or something.

Sword swipe, I don't know if roll works. Definitely no button interaction.
Thanks!
Have you checked
the bottom floor of the tower with the arrow-giant on top? The elevator goes down as well.
Kinda yah, unfortunately. They made them have really low hp.

This poison swamp is the worst thing I've ever played through in a Souls game
It's fucking miserable

I'll give DS3 this. The game legit managed to make me yelp out loud in fear a few times now.
Especially in the swamp like area with the crabs. Didn't see that big fucker and I'm walking along and turn around and see him like two seconds before he runs me over like a train.
The problem is that the Watchers do not have any poise. You can stagger them easily. :/ With more poise, the fight would be harder.

Equip a knife and use the dash special to surf through the muck at full speed. You can even use it without FP.

It's everything about it. I hate the enemies, I hate the level design, I hate the muck, the non stop poison threat.
It's the worst zone From has ever put in a Souls game imo

The (optional boss) C

fight is now one of my favorite boss fights in Souls. No magic, no shields...just a dance with steel.

dead right?

It's pretty easy to backstab them in succession too, did it three times in a row on one of my tries. Didn't beat them that time of course..

I cannot wait to start playing this weekend. I'm trying my best to dodge all the info I can.
I better bail out of this thread.

It's late and I'm getting bored farming souls, so I'm going to try to play this with a Steam Controller. I'm expecting nothing but the worst tbh, but at least the new startup sounds were enjoyable. I particularly enjoyed "Triumph".
easily one of the most underwhelming bosses in the entire series. I was so hyped with that opening and that power up sequence.... and then that
agreed
I'm not a fan of the area in general, purely on design basis, but I think it's by far the easiest of the area type in a Souls.

I thought there was a central one that served as the proper boss, and then the additionally spawned enemies were easier and just a distraction?
I entirely agree. I genuinely feel like similar areas from DS1 and 2 were not nearly as awful, and I hated them at the time.

It's not even so much the difficulty as I find the area actively annoying and miserable to play. It's just a giant chore and I'm having no fun at all making my way through it

How's Boulder Heave? I hate how boss souls make me pick, taking that spell will lock Havel's Ring away ;_;
And does pyro give me a fire weapon enchant? Where do I find it?
Then does that stack with a fire gem infusion, or would I be better off with the dex or int scaling infusion?

Using a Butcher's Knife (that can't be enchanted or infused) they'd stay dead after being killed once, so I figured they had done away with the blessed weapon requirement. Not sure if it has to do with weapon type.
Rolling works 100%.

Is there a list of summonable NPCs and for which boss fights anywhere? For some reason I don't notice them as much in DSIII. The sign colour doesn't stand out as much.
I worry I'm gonna miss some and stuff up their quest lines like in DSII.

It's interesting you say that because I died like 6-7 times to them. They were tough for me.
I think it's a harder version of dark souls 1. I've been able to roll through attacks, but the enemies are less forgiving than DS1. A fair amount of poise/hyper armor. I like the result. Feels tough but fair. Less cheap than DS2, IMO
It's in the start menu. It's its own pane.

I've beaten two bosses, but still haven't found the orange soapstone. Did I miss it or do you not need it to write messages?
Some. Maybe 1 or two. They're not unpredictable it's just when the AI winds up, they still have the ability to pick a target so you just have to roll at the last moment.

Gotta say the fight with N

is horribly designed. The camera goes insane and the

So, I figure I'll ask it now, and repost in the day, when you know, a lot of people who will miss this post are here
What do you guys think of a soulsborne that is much more simplified? Not bloodborne style where you get your weapons and they're all presets for each category and the armor doesn't matter, but I mean where everything has a static values.
To reword that, what do you guys think of a souls game where you cannot level up, you cannot increase stat X or Y, etc. Your HP is constant, as are many other things.
I could see it being a lot more fun than the current formula. It would also fix the inherent issue of going back to old areas and simply having too much HP/Str to care about trying vs crushing enemies via tanking and mashing attack until they drop in two hits.
If you found a boss hard, everyone had a similar experience, or a similar opportunity.
You'd overcome the boss my learning his patterns and getting better at reading and reacting, instead of your build simply being overall better throughout the whole game.
I think it has the potential to be a lot more interesting.
Souls would be dropped from levels to say, give you your armor and weapon choices, but it wouldn't be anything like it is now, where death is a loss of actual progress in the game because of a loss of levels.
I feel like Bloodborne half assed making things static, giving us a situation where some stats are semi-meaningless (bloodtinge largely) and certain weapons aren't balanced well, which leads into my only major issue I could see. They did balance defense well, as the only notable change you're making to that is your HP value- the bars draining relatively the same for everyone in the game.
Anyways, back to that major issue- they'd have to design these bosses and the balancing miles above what they do now so that we can't just pull another Ludwig Sword instance and stunlock everyone for days. On the other hand, with these set encounters, we all find it "as difficult" and such and can enjoy beating it that much more.
I want a souls game that fully requires skill, not some level and build.
