First post in either of these OTs despite being as big a fan as any other of these games.
Yawntastic is my take away from DS3, but I think that is largely to do with franchise fatigue rather than an actual assessment of DS3 (I'm not as negative on this as I was on BB upon completing it, for example). Overall I had a pretty merry time, but it is probably my least favourite of the Souls' games, I think (though the spread between favourite and least favourite is awfully thin so that's neither here nor there really).
Most of the bosses were a real treat, as were a couple of the locations (namely the ones that didn't involve
another fucking crumbly rooftop or castle).
But I'm not feeling the early PvP-meta (estus flasks, holy shit, fights can take for ever, combined with a pretty lame amount of diversity at the moment. Bring back Hexes I say!) especially compared to DS2 where it was
brokensublime as often as not, and due to the aforementioned series fatigue, I'm not champing at the bit to replay the PvE aspects again, either (though cooping some of the bosses was a real blast, to be fair). Related to that point, I
really miss the ability to use bonfire ascetics.
The
mugen character build calculator is pretty handy though, and I'm sure I'll do plenty of theory-crafting in the meantime, which in turn will ensure I hang around for a while yet.
