Dark Souls III

Why is it always two different collector's editions? :/ I am rather saddened that even From is doing the whole money-milking thing now.

Kinda wish it would have smaller collector's edition with arbtook and few goodies. I don't really need all those figurines.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Like what Metroid Prime Trilogy did. Metal case with a plastic sleeve and an artbook. That's all I need. Heck, that's all the Dark Souls II Black Armor Edition needed.

I remember when Demon's souls came we get collector's edition with art book + physical guide and it was more than enough. But they started to cash in since Dark Souls 2, and it gets fairly annoying. Im glad they at least didn't done same with BB

Well damn. So we've got our three main bosses apparently.

Big blobby tar-demon priest, legion of abysswalker knights, and a previous Giant lord. Looks like it's taking elements from the previous three Souls games.

newest trailer is awesome D:

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Sorry, I think I drooled all over the trailer. I think I need a new one.

Seriously though, this game can't come out soon enough. Two more weeks is too long!

Loving it so far. I've clocked over 30 hours and am thoroughly sucked in. I've beat 3/4 lords of cinder. At this rate, I'll have it beat by the end of the weekend.

High dex character with a splash of pyromancy. It's proved to be very effective.
Katanas, scythes, and burning things in Dark Souls 3 is so fun.

Best one in the series. Shame it's slated to be the last.

 

[Innsmouth]

Half way through the game. The game is so damn easy Y_Y there is barely any bosses that are hard to beat and all enemies are either laughably easy or just cheap.

I found it got decidedly harder around Irythill of the Boreal Valley, though you may just be having an easier time than I did (be it player skill or build).

The new AI on enemies in particular makes faceroll backstabbing less of an option.

I doubt it will be the last soulslike game. Bloodborne kinda set a precedent.

I agree, it eta harder in Irythill but even after that the only hard boss I encountered was

Spoiler

Pontiff Sullivan

. But after that I reached profane capital which also was painfully easy with its boss being bloody joke.

Definitely. That one was a gimmick-based joke.

I did find that

Spoiler

Aldrich

as well as the two bosses in Lothric Castle and the final boss were up to snuff. Quite a struggle beating all 3; for me, at least.

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

The Profaned Capital boss is supposed to be a throwback to Demon's Souls, so of course he'd be kinda easy.

haven't reached them yet so I anticipate better challenge. But so far, I don't get people claiming

Spoiler: One of the Lords of Cinder

Abyss Watchers

they picked wrong boss to quote from
