DS3 is pretty drat linear until you beat Vordt or the Dancer


DS2 had smaller maps but just compare the branches of both

DS2 seemed to want to foucs more on combat and goofy things like the butterfly outfit and preorder bonuses rather than remembering this is a series

even if you don't care about the LORE it provides reason for what you are doing rather than a bunch of old hags tell you you will die bitch lmao

Its interesting how wildly different everyones perceptions of difficulty and quality are for these games. I thought DS2 combat sucked dicks, with 3 having the overall best controls

having refined controls vs having poise are two totally different things

People stand outside of aggro range and kill enemies with four or so arrows while the enemy slowly plods toward them, over and over, for the entire game.

having a ranged weapon to lure out foes in DS3 pretty much killed the difficulty but in a sense it was the reward to careful planning which prevents 100% of deaths in souls

I am currently playing Dark Souls for the first time. I initially ignored it because when people told me it was difficult, but so far, I am doing alright. (I am playing a pyromancer, though).

People need to stop saying that Dark Souls games are (made to be) difficult.

Long sword is pretty cool.

I use the Black Knight Sword which has proven good so far.

ascended flame +5

Invading in the Undead Settelment means at max +2 weapons or +1 boss/unique, also at most level 25.

My favorite weapons are always special so buff and infusions are out the door.

Dark Soul 2 is what happens if you let your publisher make the game for you
