    Great boss design and great build variety let down by Dark Souls 2 #2 styled level designs that never wrap around like they could have (Dark Souls 1, Bloodborne)

    At least the world makes sense this time though looking at everything from afar

    Dark souls 3 es lo que nunca tendría que haber sido. Es un juego que sería muy bueno si no hubieran existido antes Demon souls, Dark souls y Dark souls 2 pero, su problema es que ya han estado ellos aquí antes.
    Quizás es eso, que llevo muchas horas jugadas a los antiguos juegos de esta saga, por eso ya no me sorprende ver nada de lo que me enseñan en este. La historia es más de lo mismo, los atajos no están nada trabajados (muy vagos, simplemente una puerta más al lado de una hoguera), el combate es más rápido y ¿fácil?. Es el primer souls donde muero en mi primera partida menos de 5 veces, nunca me había pasado algo así. Los enemigos son fáciles de esquivar y predecir, se sube muy rápido de nivel, se consiguen las mejoras de la espada muy rápido (hay mucha titanita por todos lados)...

    No sé, tengo ganas de jugar a un souls donde todo esté en ebullición, donde el mundo esté vivo, las ciudades llenas de gente, donde los enemigos sean algo importante y no resquicios de lo que fueron. Tengo ganas de llegar a una zona y no ser yo el que intente o no seguir con la llama, tengo ganas de que no me den el mismo dark souls pero con un número nuevo al final del nombre.

    El juego en si está bien, pero si has jugado a los anteriores recientemente te puede aburrir. Por lo menos es rápido de pasar, mi primera run fue de 17 horas, mi segunda de 22 horas para conocer más lore y mi tercera haciéndolo todo más directo de 12.    … Expand

    Same laggy and delayed PVP DarkSouls experience. Nothing changed since DS1. Plus It's the most linear souls-like after BB but also lacks atmosphere and area variety not to mention it's really really easy to beat. Tries to make you like the game with just nostalgia.

    The fun and atmosphere of this game is hard to explain
    I can't say that the graphics are good, but the unique art and atmosphere make the game more delicious
    The direction and action of the Battle of the Boss show a good perfection that is hard to see in other games

    While Dark Souls 3's plot, locations, and atmosphere are all essentially a nostalgia trip for Dark Souls 1 fans, interestingly not much of the original game's DNA is here otherwise.

DS1's gameplay loop was in managing resources as you made your way through a dangerous world, whereas DS3's levels are merely speedbumps on the way to the reward - an incredibly designed boss. DS1 had clunky but slow paced, deliberate combat. DS3 is a roll spam simulator.

    Overall, this game has turned the franchise into a fast paced action-RPG, instead of a slow-paced exploration RPG with action elements. It is still very good. The boss fights are the best in the game. The lore and NPCs are still great. The ending is satisfying and the music is incredible. But it does really miss a lot of what made the first game brilliant, and trades it for flashiness and accessibility.    … Expand

    Dark souls 3 is in my opinion the best game of the souls series. Even though it is the best it comes with it in my opinion it has it flaws especially when it comes to story and PvP.

    The character creation is fine. You can make a good-looking character or ugly. It gives you somewhat limited options but at the same time can take it quite far with those limits.

    The story of dark souls 3 in my opinion is lacking. It builds on similar writing of Dark souls 1 which causes the game to have ambiguous and cryptic. This comes from the ambiguous nature of director Miyazaki's way of writing style. The way you get to know the world of dark soul is by reading boss souls and item description. This can be boring or fun depending on the player however I found this tiring and somewhat boring.

    The music of dark souls III is a hit or miss in my opinion. Some OST in the Dark souls III is good such as Gael and Sister Friede and ariandel music pieces as they flow with the battle. However most of music feels disorganized and overly bombastic such as Vordt’s boss music.

    The PvE in dark souls 3 is the best part of the game. It has a fast-paced fighting style, and the bosses you fight has a difficulty which is not artificial and feels fair. The normal PvE mobs can be however boring and somewhat repeatable in some areas of the game such as Lothric castle and Grand archives.

    The PvP is good but also bad. The PvP is good when it works well however when a player has great latency or is cheating the quality of PvP goes down tremendously. The world is divided up in a Japan server and a rest of the world server. This causes those in the rest of the world to have a much harder experience, as two players of different continents can connect with each other but will have a great deal of latency. The game also has a clear cheating problem, as it’s anti-cheat program is lacking in it’s function to catch cheaters. Another problem with the game’s PvP is that some weapons are objectively better then others which causes players to lack diversity in builds and originality.    … Expand

Its finally here, the third and final installment (hopefully) in the "Dark Souls" duology turned trilogy. Is it everything we hoped for? Probably not, so lets pick this thing apart until theirs nothing left but vague item explanations. I enjoyed the original Demon's Souls as well as Dark Souls back in the day, that "day" being 10 years ago and nearly 5 years before its final send-off title. Enjoyment was uneven at best, and downright infuriating making mistakes or miss-timing swings, or repostes, or quite simply vanishing into the floor only to die a few seconds later. I certainly had my share of all of these things in Dark Souls 3, but it is certainly more broken than the original game (even at 60 frames per second).

    Dark Souls 3 is about as "finished" as the original Dark Souls was after Lost Izalith, and many, many, many, many areas can be spotted with unfinished textures, weird black voids, stupid assets blocking off areas or my favorite- paths that seem to lead to absolutely nowhere- because they had to cut off huge chunks of areas. Whole areas are rife with these issues, which is fairly bewildering seeing as this is FromSoft's 5th entree in this particularly series, with about a dozen other King's Field games they apparently didn't ACTUALLY learn anything from while designing. Whether this is because the "B" team worked on Dark Souls 3 or not, its incredibly disconcerting. Hitboxes are the worst they've been since Dark Souls 2, enemies have zero artificial intelligence and quite simply rubberband to the player until falling comedically to their death or being outran to the nearest bonfire to reset their positioning. In short, nothing has changed since the original Dark Souls.

    Enemies are the biggest offense, as they aren't just faster than they've ever been, but bafflingly sometimes emit NO animation tells that they're actually attacking you, or worse are the same attack animations from an older game, but sped up to create some kind of challenge. Weapons? Recycled. Attack animatons for weapons? Recycled. How they manage to create anything new in this series is actually pretty surprising these days. Status ailments are on the menu all throughout, with special mention to those bizarre maggot monsters that instantly glue themselves to the player and cause persisting BLEED damage until you run out of estus, go back to a bonfire, or heal yourself with some red weed that you shove into your face. Random number generation pretty much denies you from being able to just find practical and useful items on enemies you kill, another very dated concept when any speedrunner inevitably realizes none of the enemies are worth wasting your time attacking, so you end up farming for specific items or buying up a handful of items at a time at a shopkeeper.

    NPC's and their sub-sub-quests (or requests) are just as pointless as they were in the original Dark Souls, but now they all collectively sit around Firelink Shrine, a boring, colorless, grey-black mess of tunnels with no distiguishing features. So have fun wandering down the same boring hallway only to accidentally head back upstairs and miss whatever NPC you didn't know was actually below Andre and the little old lady in the chair. The running theme in Dark Souls 3 appears to be very repetitive and dull level designs that are actually very compact, but difficult to navigate due to their re-used color palette's or textures. FromSoft- just because you rename everything or re-arrange items I've seen a million times, doesn't mean you've made a sequel. If anything Dark Souls 3 is like an expansion pack.

    Bosses all seem really awful early on, especially the giant tree, who has perplexing and odd hitboxes on his only weakpoints for no discernable reason. I'm tempted to not even call the first few bosses actual "boss fights" as they are more like supercharged regular enemies. This is kind of hilarious because the initial mob who turns into a giant black goo snake monster is actually MORE LETHAL than Vordt of the Boreal Valley. It wasn't until I got to the catacombs that I really started to wonder if the game was actually broken. IF you didn't take a big bonk club or something similar with you to the catacombs, then I'm very sorry since now you'll have to deal with extremely tough, fast-moving, unlimited stamina, bleed status effect attacking skeletons that are so agile you might never be able to hit them before they kill you. Of course I'm referring to the ninja skeletons, who are bizarrely dangerous compared to the actual boss in Catacombs of Carthus. Do you see a pattern here?

    The bosses in Dark Souls 3 are not hard. A lot them go down to fire-applied weapons or lightning imbued weapons, or just a jack hammer of a strength weapon to the side of the skull, and its very satisfying, but what makes Dark Souls 3 actually hard is the broken, terrible, and ridiculous level design and item placement. That's it.    … Expand

Основные претензии касаются только механики игры, она здесь поломана, это касается невероятно кривой камеры, даже без ее таргетлока она исполняет брейк данс возле врага. Бекстабы-репосты, сделаны невероятно криво и работают через раз, и то не факт, даже стоя вплотную к врагу это редко когда получается. Очень легко выпасть за текстуры, в некоторых местах достаточно прижаться к стенке и ты тут же окунаешься в дайвинг под картой. Стан, особо шустрые противники могут без особых проблем застанить игрока, самый яркий пример - это рыцари в замке лотрика и танцовщица ( я раз 100 хотел дропнуть изза нее игру). Хитбоксы, максимально кривые, особенно "радуют" при грабах. Про прохождение атак врагов сквозь текстуры я даже и расписывать не хочу. Но стоит выделить и такие вещи как:

    Архитектура: просто 12/10, невероятно красивые здания готической архитектуры;

    Графен: Он шикарен, особенно туманные локации или небольшая дымка, также стоит выделить детализацию врагов;

    Сюжет: Эдакая "игра престолов", но как по мне, слишком запутанный в 3 части.

    Персонажи: очень прописанные, если зайти на "дарквики" то можно узнать чуть ли не их полную биографию

    Учитывая все минусы, данная серия является моей любимой, третья часть же не стала исключением. Сколько бы я не умирал, мне хотелось играть в нее снова и снова. Так как игра ставит перед игроком некое испытание, и когда ты его проходишь то тебя настигает шквал эмоций.    … Expand

    The gameplay is repetitive. Yes, so is every "souls" game out there, but it's a difference if you're playing your very first game of this type or X Souls XX. The combat really isn't good either: unrealistic (knights in full plate armor rolling? C'mon man!). You just follow a pattern: dodge-roll, dodge-roll, run in, hit, hit, dodge-roll, dodge-roll, run in, hit, hit, rinse and repeat. Any enemy can kill you in 2-3 hits, you'll run into boss enemies (which are the core of the game) which have a huge health pool with battles lasting for several minutes (think bullet sponges in shooter games).
    What I do like about this series is the storytelling and lack of a clear narrative: you get fragments here and there from reading item descriptions and using your imagination and there is room for interpretation. I LOVE that! It's there if you want it, but if you're not interested - for whatever reason - you can just ignore it. There are very few cut scenes, which is good.
    I liked BLOODBORNE and LORDS OF THE FALLEN, the latter being a little more forgiving if you're not one of the arrogant "Git gud" crowd. DARK SOULS III is not as bad as DARK SOULS II but it isn't as good as the first one either. AVERAGE.    … Expand

The ridiculous amount of bosses has also been drastically reduced, which is much better (DS 2 obviously ran out of ideas, so they just copy-pasted a few bosses in each corner). Bosses now have 3 "stages" and change their patterns in each stage - this was carried over from BLOODBORNE.. I can't say I'm a fan of this, but I can see why die hard DS fans might applaud this.
    You will be revisiting Lordran and some areas of DARK SOULS 1, you will also fight a few old enemies. Whether this is good or bad you will have to decide for yourself. The complex level design of DARK SOULS 1 and its originality aren't here, but it is a step up from part 2 nonetheless.
    Die hard fans of SOULS games will probably love this entry, I did love the original DARK SOULS and my favorite out of these "type" of games is BLOODBORNE, but I wouldn't consider myself a fan of the "SOULS-genre". If that applies to you as well, you might want to pass this one.
    Something worth noting: the mouse + keyboard controls are still terrible, so don't even try playing this without a controller!
    Visually this is of course the most impressive entry in the series with some just marvelous vistas to behold. The art style is just gorgeous. Then it takes a step back with rather outdated textures.

Seriously, just press one button and your character do three backflips, one twist and finish doing burpees. The optimization is also bad in consoles, I noticed that when I reached some areas and I thought I was playing Dark Souls I and trying to rush in Blighttown. And the farming is very broken too. I spent almost 20h farming covenant items (and i didn't complete the farm!), and I was using all discovery boosts avaiable in the game.

    Первый дарк который я играл кое-как. Все на месте, ига нормальная, но как-то "обычно".

    Despite an inconsistent frame rate once again hindering the console versions, Dark Souls III is still an undeniable success. Before playing, we felt ready to say goodbye to the series, looking forward to whatever From Software gave us next. Yet after finishing, it's hard not wanting more. Few companies can craft a world so completely enthralling. Whether you've played every entry, started with Bloodborne, or are brand new, this is a game you should absolutely make time for.

    Everything about Dark Souls III is great, but it fails to push the series forward. Bloodborne and both previous Souls squash it in terms of ambition. DkS3 is like a compilation album by your favorite band – you enjoy listening to it because you love these songs despite having heard them so many times before, but there’s no room for even a tiniest surprise.

    It seems that From Software has finally realized that bad game design decisions were a poor addition to an already uncompromising game, and fixed them, while keeping the same level of ruthlessness.
