Sci-fi Souls could be so bad ass.
I was so fucking disappointed when I tried out Lightning Spear and it did similar damage to my unupgraded Longbow.

No idea. I just woke up and found stuff on Reddit etc. At one point this "hacker" even streamed this sh*t on Youtube. People say he added a large amount of souls to people and that triggers a soft ban for irregular data. Now I'm too scared to play online lol
Miyazaki said in a recent interview that he was interested in sci-fi.

Bosses feel so easy in DS3 compared to DeS and BB.
I reached Lothric castle now and I have yet to face a difficult boss, maybe Im over leveled a bit ~75 now STR build.

It is so ridiculous when there are 4 people in the boss room, just a crazy gang-bang. Although, it is quite hilarious when
got all 4 of us trapped in that monster combo of his. We all died, lol.

Shouldn't really be all that surprising though, after how hard they nerfed faith in DS2.
They're definitely worth doing. But yea, you'll need a guide to do them correctly. I was glad I did them in NG+. Liked the characters way more.

In terms of content, it does seem to be the lightest, but it is very consistently good.
I can agree with that. None of the areas seemed tacked on or useless. They all seems pretty unique, both the settings and the enemies. Usually the games take me around 40 hours the first time through. I can help but feel a but disappointed by that aspect.
If you reach Farron Keep, the area after that hands them out pretty generously.
Did you find the optional areas?

Hmm my first run was about 50 hours... But I did stop playing the main game to invade people almost nonstop

Yeah, let's implement a system as well that unlocks extra items and cosmetic variations for your armour everytime you make a kill, and make a message appear every time you do so and that you have advanced to a new level.

OK, this game has been the weirdest Souls experience for me.
I'm currently at ~40hrs. Took my time. Nearing the very end (just about to fight D
dude in L
).
I did a full melee guy, sitting at 40 STR / 20 DEX atm, (my first in DS, usually I was a pyro/caster) and it's been fun, kinda but I feel like I'm missing something. :/
I don't know what to do with all the weapons I have.
I'm still rocking a Heavy Dark Sword +10. Only upgraded 2 shields to +5 (Lothric & Dragon Crest) and still wearing the same Lothric Knight armor I found near the beginning of the game. :/
What should I upgrade? What are the good STR weapons with great scaling? Share some good builds.

I'd say play Bloodborne. It's the better game.

Play around with Greatswords, hammers and axes.
So Nameless King, while very frustrating in a lot of ways, has to be one of the most clear cut examples of learning a boss' attacks, movement patterns and dodge timings.
He took me probably around 5-10 attempts all up. There was one very, very disheartening attempt where his health bar looked empty, like you could not see ANY red there whatsoever, yet I got careless and died. Could not believe it.
Strolled back in there and got him. The camera/lock-on issues stop it being truly great, but damn, great boss.

...but which ones? That's the thing. I'm looking at my inventory, have a couple of cool looking/sounding weapons that I'd like to upgrade, but don't wanna waste my stones on them if I "choose poorly".
In previous games, since I was a caster, I didn't really bother with melee weapons so this...choice problem is kinda overwhelming now.
Also, <3 Bloodborne's weapon simplicity (a.k.a.
lack of build variety, huehuehue

Watched the video and somehow you killing the boss and him dying on the middle platform made the video even better for me.
There is no choosing poorly, it's all about whatever play style you like.
Just equip different ones and see which movesets you like. If something sticks and seems fun, level it up. It's that simple.

So my third playthrough I made a strength-based ultra weapon man and he's easily the best yet:
So three playthroughs so far:
1. Pure INT pure sorcery... Felt like playing on hard mode.
2. Started quality, ended Chaos Blade dex; was much easier than the first time around.
3. Big fatso strength man... Feels like playing on easy mode.

Geez, that's insane to me. guess you had no trouble with the bosses and certain areas at all.
If you need to kill something for the gear then it is hard. If you can get the gear while ignoring all of the enemies then it is easy. When you know enemy placements it is pretty easy to just run through areas while picking up everything worthwhile.

Unfortunately for me, this is the worst dark souls multiplayer yet. I can handle 2, but gank squads of 4-5 gankers? Constantly? Fucking disgusting.
Last 30 invasions have all been gank squads. Every. Fucking. One.

Tell me about it...
Heh, so weird. I thought Archives was short and disappointing. I guess if I wasn't trying to complete everything and farm stuff for trophies, 30 hours would've been my time for my first playthrough.
It's definitely way shorter than the previous games. I would say it's similar to length of vanilla BB.

Red Orb Invading is obviously more fun when it's an area that allows two red invaders.
But yeah, they went overboard with how stacked the phantoms are vs. the invaders.

What exactly does this mean? I though that can happen if you used the Dried Finger?

No, it's less fun. Because you have 5 on 1
You have host, 3 phantoms and a red invader which most of the time is allied to the host. Even having the same clan tag in gamertags. It's gross.
Well I was tired when playing through it so I was getting a bit frustrated by all the spell casters haha BB actually took me about 40 hours the first time through, go figure. I think maybe I finished it quicker than the others is just my experience now. After multiple games I just understand the mechanics better which I think in turn makes the game easier for me.
KittenMaster

Oh, right. Derp. For some reason I thought it was area dependent but yeah, Dried Finger will do that.
I got some 2v3s today, which is obviously better than being alone against the phantoms. I didn't realize there were red phantoms allying with some phantom groups though, but that hasn't been my experience yet.
Yeah, I'm of the same opinion. Archives were great. Wasn't a fan of the
Crystal Sage
Eh? Never experienced this before. You sure you didn't accidentally interrupt a fight club?
I'm in the minority then. Felt it was too small and the enemies were bad. Hated they reused those Workers again. I feel the overall Castle area was disappointing. Could've had some fun with some rooms. I think DkS2 did a better job with Drangleic Castle. That place felt huge.
