I prefer the Souls games to Bloodborne. Not sure why but they're just more memorable for me.
I think you always prefer the one you played first. None of them have ever come close to the first Dark Souls for me but this one is a pretty decent effort from what I've seen so far.

Yea, I think you're right. Plus the fact that I've sunk 100+ hours into BB but only about 20 so far into DS3. For me BB was something special. i love that dark, gothic horror look and atmosphere. I think the weapon design is more interesting too - far more interesting move sets in BB. Then there's the pace of the fighting which to me is sharper and more fun in BB. All of this makes it sound like I don't like DS which isn't true, I'm really enjoying it but...I'm already thinking about my next game of BB!

Dark Souls™ - The Board Game
Has everybody seen this? Board game.... I am... not sure.
It's currently got over a million quid pledged though against a target of £50k and there's still 24 days to go, so they must be doing something right.

I hear they're complete arses. I'm only at the giant crab but my controller is knackered so I can't play until I can buy a new one tomorrow. Pissed off as I was looking forward to a good go tonight. Not sure what I do to them but that's 3 PS4 controllers now that I've knackered. Anyone else find they pack up within 12 months.

Reading Keza Macdonald's first article about Dark Souls in 2011 is one of the reasons I ever played the game.

Its sunny somewhere.
I'd got bored at possibly 100+ attempts so summoned help, and the help nearly died.
Once you get a tank most bosses are easy.

Painful.
The other day, I got to this barrier and it said I needed a doll?
My thought was, 'What fucking doll?'. Looked at all the locations I had to search and looked up what it was talking about. Turns out I'd not noticed a little path which was a whole level. All DS games have done this to me a few times and unless your willing to spend literally hours and hours back tracking every single location looking for something your not quite sure what your looking for you're forced to look it up.
The locations of the DLC keys in SotFS is a case in point.
I've also noticed that weapon scaling isn't the fixed beast it once was, interesting dynamic on some weapons.

I found that the Abyss Watchers were one of those bosses that once you know what to do they become much easier. The first half of the fight is incredibly easy once you know what to do:
Don't engage them at all, keep moving and keep as much distance as possible by running laps of the room and let the 3rd abyss watcher do all the damage
The second part is tough, but I found that:
Be very aggressive: the quicker you kill him, the less times he can unleash his arsenal of health bar-destroying attacks

How did you get to Ithryll without going through the catacombs?

Proper break this time
The figures look very nice. which, I suspect, is a large part of the appeal.
There's a whole other area that is so much more obscure to get to than the Cathedral of the Deep.....
On a compltelety different note, the PvP is so much fun.
Yep, he is a twunt who probably shares stuff from Britain First on his Facebook account. One of the toughest bosses in the game (so far I only I have the very last boss/bosses to complete).

I've found myself maybe thinking that this is my favourite Souls game. Which is crazy cos Dark Souls is probably my favourite game of all time - but there you go.
I'm up to Cathedral of the Deep and every area has been solid. I don't know if it quite has the Solaire or the Ornstein and Smough - but it's so much better than 2.

Just had this delivered to the office. 
Apparently I still have to stay here all afternoon though.

I've been at the last boss for awhile, haven't taken him on yet because I am enjoying invading other people's worlds too much. I would say that say it is a better game than both 1 and 2 without a doubt.
Best moments so far was going into a fight club, beating 3 other dark spirits 1-on-1, before finishing off the host like a boss and managing to win a 3-v-1 fight as the 1. That said I still end up being banished on most invasions.

Gave it a go for an hour last night. Found it's 'not quite Bloodborne'-ness a little jarring but then after an hour playing Bloodborne I was still going 'what the hell is this?' so I'm sure I'll get used to it. Killed the first boss and reached the firelink shrine so all set for a proper go over the weekend.
I still can't parry though - I basically played through Bloodborne (twice) smashing things with 2 handed weapons because I couldn't get the parry right. I look like going down the same route on this so far.

I'm a few hours into this now and one thing that really strikes me compared to playing Bloodborne (which was the first of these I played) is that the tension isn't there in the same way. It might be partly game design but I think a lot of it is just that I'm not normally that bothered if I die (maybe occasionally if I've made it a long way or have a lot of souls) - I know the consequences aren't really that high. So I'm tending to just barrel on in and shrug if I die.
Still a very good game though.
