Why does /v/ hate Dark Souls III?

>>377812894
Why do you hate yourself?

>>377812894
because it's a video game

>>377812894
but it does not, /v/ hates DS2

I don't hate it, but just like dark souls 1 and bloodborne I'm not drawn to it enough to finish it. I don't know why I was so driven to finish dark souls 2, maybe it was shorter, but for demons souls it was just an overall more enjoyable experience to me personally.

dark souls 3 is just missing some sort of charm. I often get to dancer (as in, after the catacombs, after irithyll/anal rodeo redux, etc) and drop it. It's not the boss either, I've beaten her a couple times, I just sorta lose interest.

darkmoon blade/blue sentinels not working without making an entirely new steam account is really, REALLY fucking gay. And I don't know how that slipped past their QA for the last year and a half either.

Formal bow a best

I really enjoyed it. I think it's a very good game, when compared to other games that aren't from From.

>>377812894

Only retarded niggers high on nostalgia and low IQ meme shitposting faggots hate DaS3, DaS3 is the second best game From Software has ever made.

BB > DaS3 > DaS > DaS2 > DeS

This is the objective ranking, no amount of shitposting nor autistic screeching will change it. Die from cancer nostalgia cucks, you deserve to be tortured to death.

Better than 2 at least.

Even with all of its flaws it's still great. It just goes to show that Miyazaki/From can completely phone it in and still make an above average quality game.

I've always hated that combo. It just looks odd.

>>377812894
Because it's good and popular.

People here only like terrible niche things. Like AoE II.

>Poor design choices that distant it too much from DaS original mechanics
>Bad hallway style level design
>Broken covenant mechanics (and less of them)
>New online system that becomes increasingly unstable the more invaders connect (hoverboarding)
>New online mechanics drastically weighted in Host's favor
>Very little alternate pathing/replay ability
>Took a year of updates before build variety existed and even then there's a staggering amount of greatswords compared to anything else
>Final installment in the series yet there's tons of interesting/fan favorite items/weapons/spells/rings/armor sets left out
>Undead matches don't reward the player
That's just off the top of my head. I still like it, but it's not the best in the series.

Because the series has been milked hard

It is seriously weaker than all previous installments. I dont hate, but its weaker. As a franchise goes, people expect the devs to always pick the good parts of the previous games and add to the new one

>>377813302
The DLCs did more than not salvage it, they genuinely dragged the overall quality of the game down.

Smouldering Lake and Irithyll Dungeon were the only bad areas in the game. The DLCs come in, fuck up DaS3's perfect closure by adding a bunch of fanfiction, and then they're filled with Dark Souls 2 ganks out the ass, and have some of the worst levels in the series. Pretty levels, but irredeemably bad. I distinctly remember liking the game more before all the DLCs came out.

One of few actual good things to come out of it is the matchmaking, but the flipside is all the DLC weapons ruin 1v1 duels because they're designed for ganks.

Good thing it'll always be the best combo despite your shitty opinion

>>377814674
I won't say you're wrong, but I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed the DLCs. As much as I hate getting ganked by enemies, there's something about the chaos of the Ringed City that I really liked that soothed it for me. Also, I never felt like i got ganked in AoA, aside from wolves. It felt pretty fair for the most part.

I caved a couple months ago. It's a legitimately fantastic game.

Because it was better than Bloodborne and this triggered the sony fanboys to shitpost against it

I jus reached anor londo in my first playthrough of 3.

Its alright, 1 and sotfs were better thus far tho.

I don't. DS3 has the best gameplay of the Souls franchise but I hate the throwbacks and linearity. Some of the levels are great (CotD, archives, Irithyll) but by and large the world is meh to me and I have to play through it just about the same every time, I've gotten in the habit of killing the dancer early but I can't go into the archives. Also, they made ice seem like it was going to be a big deal but it really wasn't, it only just got good and we didn't get ice magic until the first DLC dropped. They didn't add ice urns and removed dark and magic urns. We didn't get items that seemed like hunter tools until TRC.

Come to think of it, FROM has handled gear in general in the worst possible way. A lot of stuff was already pretty crappy in vanilla and didn't get buffed when DLC weapons were added. The heaviest sword in the game is now outdamaged by a greatsword that can be found earlier with half the statreqs and 70% of the weight. The Astora ss is now worse than the longsword in pretty much every way despite having higher statreqs. Anri's ss got nerfed despite already being kind of crappy.

DS3 is well on its way to being my most played Souls game but I'm kind of buttmad about a lot of things that I think FROM could fix but won't.

>>377815093
You clearly played coop then because AoA is full of ganks as soon as you walk in and this continues until you cross the bridge to ariandel chapel.

Honestly it's hard to make bad fashion with the black dress

>>377816965
I keked

It's a mediocre hodgepodge that retreads every other game in the series. It tries to be both souls and bloodborne but manages to only combine the worst aspects of both. It's more playable than 2 but the entire world would have been just fine only receiving demons, dark 1 and bloodboner

>>377816506
balance has been absolutely fucked since day 1

you can pour all your souls into an offensive magic type and still do more damage with firebombs for most of the game, it's a joke

I hate it because it has horrible replayability and a lack of build variety.

The areas of the game, while having pretty skyboxes, are boring as shit to play through and not one ever has me go "Oh man, I can't wait to go through________ again". Instead with each area I groan and remember that "fuck I have to go through THIS place again"

Bonfire astetics from 2 should have made a return for those who enjoy fighting nosses without slodging through the game for the 10th time and limiting how many times you can respec your appearance and points was a stupid decision that deserves two bullets in Miyasaki's knees

DaS3 is good for 2, maybe 3, runs and that's about it. Every other souls game I clocked in almost 1000 hours in, and continue to do so, but DaS3 shit the bed so hard that I shelved it after two months, and waited for the DLC just to shelve it after that, and wait for the 2nd DLC andnonce again be done with it

It should've had new things for Ng+ like ds2 had. Like red phantoms during boss fights and new boss weapons

>>377812894
the mechanics suck fucking shit. Its like a garbage version of bloodborne. I know that word instantly triggers all the fellow PC bros but its the truth. Hyper armor is fucking retarded and the game would be better without it. The game is also linear as shit. I don't know how they went from interesting level design in 1 and demon souls to this shit. Seriously. The only people who like this game is the late fags who jumped on the Dark Souls is HARDCORE meme.

DS3 is a great game, but I don't like any of it.
I don't know how to describe it, but there's not a single zone in the entire game that I actively enjoyed going through, except for the High Wall and the Profane Capital.

Road of Sacrifice has knee deep water and poison enemies with earrape screams, and the crabs.
Farron is just more of that.
Carthus is just an uglier Chalice Dungeon with shit skeleton mechanics.
Irithyll has annoying-ass enemies and it just drags on.
The Cathedral is more knee-deep sludge and annoying enemies.
Consumed King's Garden is more sludge and poison.
Archdragon is just more annoying enemies with a shitty respawn mechanic.
Lothric Castle and the Archives are just ugly as sin, and have so many enemies that are best fought in one-on-one format that it just feels lazy.

...and despite this, I still play it almost every week, and really enjoy it. I don't know why.

I don't get it. People loved Demon Souls and yet all of its boss fights were basically gimmicks.

>>377812894

>>377812981
This but actually it's because they expect too much from everything, but DS3 just simply can't replicate playing Souls for the first time again, nor can any game, and that's the standard that it was held to.

My biggest problem there isn't that, its how damn short it is. You can go room the dancer's bonfire and be at the boss in less then a minute, or you can fully explore the area and be done with it in less then ten.

I liked Dark Souls 3 because it made Dark Souls 2 look better by comparison

Don't see why it failed so hard at being better than Bloodborne then, it only ripped 90% of the bosses and enemy attack animations from that game.

You don't even have to travel far into the game to see reused Bloodborne animations. Vordt is literally a giant werewolf and has the same walking and swiping animations. Undead farmers are reskinned Yharnamites.

I found nothing fun, new, or interesting about the entire game except for the Slave Knight Gael boss fight.

Overall the game is a soul-less shallow husk that offers nothing new and stands entirely on the legs of Dark Souls 1. It has the best combat of all the souls games, as well as best bosses. But is overall a weaker package than even the weakest of the series (DS2). But despite all that, I don't hate DS3, I've clocked in a good amount of hours probably 200 ish, but compared to the other games in the series that's very little.

My least favorite souls, but still very much worth playing.

Because it's not Dark Souls 1

I'm genuinely curious, how do you get so many hours out of the souls games?

I typically do a few NG runs with different builds but top out at 120-150 hours per game. Is it all time spent PvPing?

>>377830443
sunrise is the good ending

i liked 1 and 2 for repeated plays, but with 3 every replay is pretty much the exact fucking same

really bothers me, dont imagine ill play it again

>>377830504
I enjoy SL1 runs and pushing through to NG+7
If I fight a boss I really enjoyed (Ludwig/Gael/etc) I'll make a new character and get said character to boss kill him and start over. (I just learned I can make save profiles so my playtimes for future souls game if any, would be cut down tremendously)

But mostly challenge runs or I put in all the weapons in a randomizer list and use whatever is selected.

>>377830316
You people have a built-screenshot tool and you still take photos of the TV with your phone. Anyone who is this retarded should not be allowed to carry on their genes.

>>377830765
>Tfw have a NG+7 save for Ludwig

Why's he so handsome ;_;

The flame scimitar, Onyx Sword and Demon Fist are the only good things i've found so far in DS3. Two of them are from the fucking DLC which speaks volumes.

>>377830961
The dlc is fucking cancer and introduced several broken as fuck weapons.

>>377831090
The only cancer weapons I've run into are twin greatswords inescapable combo, vort club shitters and split leaf fuckers. Everything else was managable for me.

>>377831452
>vort club shitters
The frost is the only saving grace it has since its weak as hell otherwise.

>>377831090
buy our dlc goyim

you don't wanna miss out on +3 rings and the best weapons in the game do you?

>>377831751
it's the best twink weapon

>>377833068
Because it can actually frost someone now. And even then, it takes like three hits for it to occur against another player so if your foe is smart, they'll keep away until their meter drops down.

>>377812894
MEMBERRRRRRR

>>377833576
at low levels it can proc with 2 hits and straight up kill people with 1 combo

I just finished it.
I was playing with dancer armer and butcher knife+10, 40 in strength life and endurance, is this build still viable for ng+ or are there better weapons?
I really like the butcher moveset

because /v/ hates normie shit, and by 3 (extension 5) games into this series, it's become mainstream

>>377834765
go to 60 strength, 66 maximum for softcap and you'll be OK for NG+

anyone play on pc? anyone notice the mini stutters that happen from time to time?

>>377835453
Thanks for the advice

>>377835580
no
it's just you
try upgrading your drivers

>>377816297
Hoods are cool, wish more games had hoods and capes.

What are some good weapon suggestions for Pyros? I don't like Onyx blade and right now i'm rocking a chaos battle axe +6 with 400 AR. I need something a tad bit faster though but don't know what scales good, Asking you fellas before I google for like 40 minutes.

Dark Souls 3 is a stellar game. I don't think /v/ hates it. It's one of the best Souls games.

>>377823593
No it doesn't.

that's pretty much it

>Shit artistic direction
>Shit multiplayer
>Shit lore
>Mediocre gameplay

That's really all there is to it.

Because the series peaked with 2

>>377812894

Poise mechanic fucked, I should NOT be able to stagger enemies in full Havel's with normal hits and if you think I should, go fuck yourself

Story is literally just "like Dark Souls 1 but more of it without a single original idea"

2 at least had the right idea in that its story wasn't about the stupid fire rekindling anymore, even though the game was a fuckjob in other ways

Because STRong autism builds actually backfired pretty hard this time around

That's because there's zero build variety.

>Even if they were a bit washed out, Dark Souls 1 actually had quite a bit of color, especially in places like Crystal Cave and Oolacile
>Dark Souls 2 was even more washed out, and many of the environments were shit all around

No nostalgia, when DS3 came out I got into DS1, it was a god tier game, completed it, barely completed DS2 after I found out about soul memory, didn't finish DS3 because I was bored.

>>377812894
I'd rather play DS3 than most of the games out today.

But I'd also rather play DS1 or 2 than 3.

>>377839849
Armor is the most useful in this game, but ultimately it is still always better to wear nothing to roll faster with more i frames sadly enough.

>>377839927
also
>nonstop long rolling with ridiculous iframes

>>377839713
I agreeagree, R1 spamming light weapons was a great replacement for all the builds in DaS2. Combined with the fact that you're still wrong if the ringed greatswords haven't been patched yet.

>>377839849

none of dark souls have ever been god tier
clopping around some dank ps2 gothic generic level then rolling around everything is not "god tier"
