Dark Souls 3

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.

How is that different to Bloodborne?

In DkS2 you lost a bit of health every time you died until you turned human again. Which made things interesting :)

It's not different - that's what I meant really. In that playing Bloodborne and being new to it I was far more concerned with trying not to be killed. In this I can't get so worried about it. If I hadn't played Bloodborne I think I'd be creeping around and being wary of engaging enemies in DS3 but I'm not really.

Ah right, yeah. It's mainly distance between bonfires that does it I guess. It can get quite tense when you're down to your last Estus and are carrying 20k souls, looking for the bonfire you know has got to be around here somewhere.

But really, you're right, death doesn't actually mean much. You just go back a bit. You're still making progress cos you've found out about what is up ahead.

Yeah, he's a twat. I like the return to Anor Londo, I appreciate his skills in devouring Gwindoline but the way he can beat 3 players on his own quite easily is just taking the piss.

I was literally one hit away from beating him and the bastard teleported away and then killed me.:(

Thing is normally there's choices of what to do but right now I'm at a bit of a dead end apart from him. Still, getting there.
 
I gave up on Nameless Camera in the end.
For me the second half of three is right up there with the first half of one. I still might like Bloodborne better than all of them though, but I don't really know which of my children I love the most.

I've only had a quick go. I think I'm a little overpowered for it - I'm right at the end of NG+ so I'm massively levelled up and carrying plenty of maxed out weapons etc - so the earlier enemies die quite easily. The first bigger enemy is tricky though. Worth getting I think.
 
Finally getting around to playing the last dlc - I badly cut my finger just after buying it which made it a bit tricky before.:oops: A few too many bits where you have to time the dash past a ranged enemy you can't get at for my taste. Still great though.

Not got any DLC for this. Are they worth it?
 
right , so done 1 , done 2 and now at the roads of sacrifice in 3.

Am loving it however, think 1 is the best , then 3 (so far) and finally 2, think they ironed out what was annoying in 2 for 3.

All in all, though possibly my favorite game series.

Yesterday was not a fun day, I spent all day trying to defeat the dancer boss, even summoning some people,until I ended up trying to farm ember but just could not do it. Got pretty pissed off tbh :D

I stopped playing about 10pm . then decided at 11.45pm to have one last go, after levelling up my black sword with dark and decided to try and go in solo.

First lothric ( sp?? ) knight i defeated dropped an ember, so summoned 2 phantoms, and somehow we defeated the dancing fucker !!

decided I had to stop then.

I feel your pain, this sort of thing happens to me all the time with many a game. Spend 2-3 hours trying to defeat a level/boss. Get pissed off, walk away for a bit, go back in, and then do it first time, and you're like 'why the fuck didn't this happen 2 hours ago'
 
Farmed a million souls last night :D

after losing 930,000 when my shadow pc crashed :mad:

There is an area near the end of game where you can farm a million in about 20 mins with little to no effort / danger, so am buffing myself up for the dlc / final boss , readying myself for new game +

God I love these games
