    Ahora que concluí mi largo viaje en este hermoso juego me siento digno de dejar mi humilde comentario.
    Dark souls 3 es uno de los mejores juegos RPG que pude haber jugado en toda mi vida, y la verdad todo el juego, desde el comienzo hasta el final es toda una travesía, con una historia tremenda que esta enlazada con el primer dark souls.

    Los controles del juego son de lo mejor que hay en la saga ya que tiene una perfecta mezcal entre el original y boodborne lo cual hace al juego fluido y mas agil, sin tosquearce tanto como en el primer dark souls.

From its unparalleled gameplay mechanics to its immersive world-building, compelling storytelling, and enduring legacy, Dark Souls 3 represents the pinnacle of gaming excellence.

    Challenging Gameplay:
    Dark Souls 3 is synonymous with challenging gameplay. It demands not only skill but also patience and perseverance from its players.

The intricate shortcuts and the way areas seamlessly fold into one another create a sense of a cohesive, living world, encouraging exploration and rewarding curiosity.

    Atmospheric World-building:
    Dark Souls 3 excels at world-building through atmosphere. Its dark and decaying world is both haunting and beautiful, immersing players in a grim and mysterious narrative. The game's environmental storytelling, subtle item descriptions, and cryptic NPC interactions invite players to piece together the lore of the world, fostering a sense of discovery and intrigue.

    Compelling Storytelling:
    The storytelling in Dark Souls 3 is cryptic and enigmatic, challenging players to dig deep to uncover its hidden depths. It tells a fragmented narrative through item descriptions, dialogue, and environmental cues, encouraging players to engage their critical thinking skills. The game's themes of cycles, sacrifice, and the inevitable decay of empires add layers of complexity to the narrative.

    Memorable Boss Fights:
    Dark Souls 3 is renowned for its challenging and memorable boss battles. Each boss encounter is a unique test of skill and adaptability, ranging from the awe-inspiring, multi-phase battles like the Abyss Watchers and Soul of Cinder to grotesque and nightmarish horrors like Aldrich, Devourer of Gods. These battles provide a rush of adrenaline and a profound sense of achievement when conquered.

    Replayability and Build Diversity:
    The game's replayability is bolstered by its diverse character builds and playstyles. Players can experiment with a wide range of weapons, magic spells, and armor sets to create their own unique playthroughs. The New Game+ feature adds an extra layer of challenge, ensuring that each playthrough feels fresh and engaging.

    Community and Multiplayer:

Jolly cooperation and invasions provide opportunities for camaraderie and competition, enriching the overall gaming experience.

    Artistic Excellence:
    Visually, Dark Souls 3 is a masterpiece. Its detailed character models, stunning landscapes, and intricate enemy designs showcase a commitment to artistic excellence. The game's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through its visuals, from awe to dread, is a testament to its art direction.

    Legacy and Influence:
    Dark Souls 3's impact on the gaming industry is immeasurable. It has inspired countless titles and developers to explore challenging gameplay, intricate world-building, and cryptic storytelling. The Souls series has fostered a resurgence of interest in challenging games, giving rise to the "Souls-like" subgenre.

    Conclusion:
    In conclusion, Dark Souls 3 stands as a testament to the potential of video games as an art form. Its challenging gameplay, impeccable level design, atmospheric world-building, compelling storytelling, and enduring legacy make it the best game to ever grace the human race. For those who have experienced its trials and triumphs, Dark Souls 3 is not just a game; it's a profound and timeless journey that will be cherished for generations to come.    … Expand

    Dark Souls 3 is a huge improvement on DS 1. Enemies are still brutal and punishing, but the environment no longer cheeses you out of nowhere.

    It's still a hardcore game, but it no longer feels arbitrarily unfair. Story plot elements are also better-explained than in DS 1, which required a detective to piece everything together. Also, the graphics are gorgeous. I love how you can always see elements from other sections of the game in the distance. It really puts into perspective how far you've traveled along your journey.    … Expand

    Dark Souls III is the Force Awakens of the Dark Souls series. It knows what made previous games good and what didn't work and makes the positive things better.

The game play is smooth, the visuals stunning, the lore deep and the sound track hauntingly beautiful. There are however two minor points which I feel holds the game back slightly and prevents me being able to give it a 10. The first is the world which is much more linear than the other games meaning you never really get that feeling of the different parts of the world coming together. The other is the difficulty spread which feels very uneven at times. I found myself being stuck on certain bosses for hours at a time and then breezing through other portions of the game with hardly a death to speak of. Despite these minor issues Dark Souls III is still a difficult, immersive and satisfying experience, the best game of 2016 thus far and undoubtedly a strong GOTY contender.… Expand

    Lets start off with that Dark Souls 3 is a fantastic achievement for From Software, it is a well polished game with tight controls, amazing graphics, and well designed bosses and locations

    The Good

    Dark souls 3 doesn't strafe from the tried and true dark souls formula its proven to work so im happy that its not changed although it does feel more like BloodBorne then Dark Souls 1 in which I only mean that it is a faster paced more graceful combat.

    It also is a gorgeous looking video game draw distance in impressive the environments are impressive in scale and in variety. the weapons armour both new and old look fantastic.

    The music is spot on and the boss soundtracks perfectly mix with the encounter( Especially lorian and the last boss ones ;) )

    The Bad

    This isn't really even that much of a gripe but I do wish that the world was more interconnected like Dark Souls 1 was but that's more of a personnel gripe then anything

    I think that this game has the most customization in the series, there is a staggering amount of weapons and armor sets, unfortunately, unlike Dark Souls 2, this game has little variety in basic weapon move sets, so many are the same, but I think that they make up for it with the weapon arts. There are so many cool and interesting weapon arts that bring diversity to the way you play. 8.5/10
    Now, I am a sucker for Dark Souls lore, the lore itself is fantastic, but the way you discover it is even better. The way it presents itself is amazing as it is like you are exploring an ancient civilization, the story is hidden in the item descriptions and environment, if you pay attention to these things you can figure out some stuff as you go. 9/10
    Unfortunately, there are somethings that I dislike about Souls games. First, its the areas, after a while they just don't seem fun to me, maybe its because I have run through it a couple of times or that I had a hard time my first play through, but I there are some areas in Souls that I just don't enjoy or I downright hate HATE. Hey, but there are some areas that I just adore. Dark Souls 3 has all of these for me. So the areas... 7/10
    So the biggest question I have been asking myself is which is better Dark Souls 1 or Dark Souls 3. I enjoy Dark Souls 2, it was my first Dark Souls game, but its not on par with these guys. So, with nostalgia aside, I think Dark Souls 1 is better, and you will definitely appreciate Dark Souls 3 a lot more after you have played the previous titles.    … Expand

The voice acting is as always superb, and once again brings its colorful characters to life, making every NPC encounter worth while. The bosses are yet again, for the most part, outstanding, ranging very easy to extremely hard. As I said, the game is almost perfect, which means there are a few things that made it not get a 10. First off: The level design, while it makes for a cohesive and believable world (even more so than DS1), is a bit straight forward. It's not as intricate as in DS 1,which in my opinion is a bit of a shame. The frame rate is also extremely unstable at times, but it doesn't really ruin anything. I never felt cheated because of it. At last, while I don't think this drags the game down, is its lack of originality. The game is a major fan service, something I think people wanted after DS2).

Llevando eso por delante no puedo si no aplaudirlo por depurar un concepto de juego tan extraño y a la vez atrayente. Todo lo que tiene que ver con la idea del juego en sí es una virtud, la narrativa segmentada, el miedo a la muerte como principal amenaza al jugador, la curiosidad descubrimiento, la experimentacion con las clases y el equipo, los jefes...etc. Todo lo que hace a un Dark Souls un Dark Souls está perfectamente pulido. Sin embargo si que le veo fallos al concepto, algunos de ellos no menores, que no me permiten darle el 10.

    Primero sigo pensando que hay momentos de este juego donde no puedes sobrevivir sin haber muerto antes varias veces, y aunque en general el juego es mas exigente que difícil, aún hay ciertas amenazas que no puedes afrontar, más por no verlas venir que otra cosa. No son tantas pero están ahí, hay gente que esto le gusta, pero no es mi caso. Por otro lado no me agrada que pierdas gran parte de la experiencia del juego si no pagas el gold, no es que sea completamente necesario (puedes matar por ti mismo a los jefes si tienes la habilidad) pero es poner una barrera extra para disfrutar de todo lo que ofrece el juego. El rendimiento técnico en sí tampoco es estelar, pero no hubieron momentos en que me incomodara, mas allá algunos bugs que sufrieron los enemigos.

    Creo que esta es la entrega mas recomendable de la saga, mantiene los elementos que hicieron grande a la primera entrega, y agrega otros que sirven para depurarla.

Hello folks Brandon here being unusually masochistic this month with Dark Souls 3. I adore the Souls games, but unlike some of you badass gamers out there I can only ever get half way. Basically I wish I was just better at the games. The idea of the Dark Souls 3 is intriguing to me. Challenging gameplay with a hidden story and death that actually has meaning. Almost three weeks I’ve been at this sucker and I’ve barely scratched the surface of it, but time continues to go on and so do the new games so this review is basically the first third of the game. (I killed the first Lord of Cinder)

    ​The games story from my understanding is that these Lords of Cinder don’t want to relight the flame of the world so your job is to go in and kill them. I think so you can relight the world I am not a hundred percent. Seriously you paste the game together by talking to people so if you are paying attention to literally everything around you then you can make up your story so that is what I did. My story is about Jerry the mercenary potter. He was looking for the nearest convenience store when suddenly these naughty Cinder Lords said his mom was a fat cheeky divvy. Not knowing what it meant (whether good or bad) Jerry decided that he would kill these Lords and use their ashes to make a wonderful pot for his defiantly none cheeky or divvy mother. That was my story what is yours you made up while playing this game?

    The game looks beautiful, and for those of you who are unfamiliar with Dark Souls being able to see a place in the distance and knowing, “at some point I’m going to die there” is marvelous. A weird issue I have is the preset faces all look like the bastard offspring of Gollum. They all are horrific looking so say if you wanted to make a cool adventurer you are going to half to spend some time in the character creation. The soundtrack during the boss fights as always are epic. You really feel like each boss encounter is one to be remember. In in most games the badass audio only kicks in towards the end, but Dark Souls each boss is the final boss in some way.

    The gameplay is so unique you can honestly say it plays like a Souls game. For those who don’t know Souls games they are a RPG’s with no forgiveness…well some. There is so much to this game the basics are you get souls for killing your enemies and if you die you go back to the spawn point which is a bonfire. When you die or rest at a new/same bonfire ever enemy (excluding bosses) comes back to life so you will have to fight them again. If you die all the souls you had dropped, and if you die without picking them up you lose them. The souls are money/experience so you really don’t want to lose them. Since Dark Souls can be played a number of different ways I will only be talking about how my character was being played. I picked a class called mercenary he is one of seven classes I think. I played the game as a sword and shield fighter with light on the shield. The shields in this game are only really good for parrying (which is a pain in the ass) or blocking projectiles. My main skills were all close range of course with my focus being on evading. I will admit I ran a lot through this game. If I didn’t have to fight an enemy there is a good chance I didn’t. This could be a hindrance, but **** is it less frustrating to deal with. I had some help from an online co-op partner on the first Lord of Cinder, and I must say if you have an issue with a boss call some help. Some people are ****ing monsters in this game. I am more of a scared…potter (sticking with that joke) I met some allies throughout the story which is nice but they usually **** right off after you say hi. The game is so long I am only 12 hours into it and barely scratched the surface so those who don’t get many games keep that in mind.

    Overall the game is fantastic with no bugs that I saw and gameplay that can sometimes be a pain, but in the end is super satisfying when you do what you thought impossible. I recommend those who know this game series to go buy it I enjoy it more than Dark Souls 1 and 2. It is the best in the series which is rare for the third game to be. I give this a 4.5 out of 5. With the caveat that you know this game is going to bat you around for a bit until you get used to the world. It has a learning curve so if you aren’t into spending sometime of getting your ass kicked then maybe skip this game, or rent to see if maybe this is a good fit for you. I end this with a simple request. Tell me your experience with this game good or bad I love a good gaming story of failure or conquer. Also whether or not you enjoyed it.    … Expand

The bosses in this game are the best overall of any of the souls games most are challenging and fun, some have gimmicks which is okay, and one or two throw multiple enemies which is fine since it feels different.

Undead settlement..I mean who cares honestly? Bland, dull, dreary, and grey. Farron Keep/Road of Sacrifices/Crucifixion woods… they all kinda blend together to create a generally uninteresting forest-y swamp area. it just feels like a slog to get through. Also why get rid of power stancing? :(… Expand

    The visuals: Great! FromSoftware really put a lot of effort in making everything look very detailed.
    The gameplay: Very good. The motions of your character are quite fluid; reaction time is pretty good.
    Variety of enemies: Tons of different enemies with different attack patterns.
    Intimidating bosses: I must admit, the bosses are great. They all have different styles and weaknesses so you're virtually forced to employ different techniques for each or some of them. And if you immerse yourself into the game, they are appalling and demoralizing to behold!
    Adrenaline rush: kudos to the game designers. There were areas where I felt frightened due to the eerie audio and spooky visuals. My palms were sweaty with 1 or no estus left, looking for the next bonfire that I knew should be nearby somewhere.

    Now for the dislikes...
    Tutorial: Virtually none. Beginners learn the hard way x 5.
    NPC Questlines: Stupid questlines. There's no indication that an NPC has a questline. There's no indication how to trigger it nor what the objective is. No indication how to progress. If you don't read forums you won't know where to go to progress them. One can fail a NPC questline without even knowing it. And the reason for the failure is not transparent and makes no sense. One questline in particular will affect the ending -- and if you don't google it, you will be disappointed. let me reiterate -- stupid questlines.
    Too punishing: I get that a mistake can cause the player big time. But when a small rat stun locks you, that is bs!
    Plot/Lore: mediocre plot. so many questions, so few answers. Many are left to the player's "imagination".
    Ending: to me the best ending is the normal ending, fulfilling the objective of the game. The so-called best ending by many just doesn't appeal to me. If DS series will continue then maybe it could make sense. But when game creator says nope, no DS sequel plan then how is it the best ending best?

    All-in-all a good game. Definitely not for the casual gamer. Be warned if you play this -- you will die a lot; you will stress out; you will lose precious souls permanently more than once. If you read forums, you will come across arrogant players that always say "git gud". That's the extent of their intellect in giving advice to other players struggling with the game.    … Expand

The level design is better than dark souls 2 and dark souls 1, There are shortcuts from bonfires to boss rooms that you will find out later. The setting and the world is very dark and gritty and it has an element of horror to it. Some bosses are quite creepy and there are giant rats and even a **** giant spider. This game has different varieties of swords, spells, armors which you purchase using a currency called souls or soul points which you earn from killing enemies and collecting dead knights' souls. The game doesn't teach you much about how everything works and you have to figure out where to go and which boss you should fight, but dont worry, the linear paths might help you for the most part. The game has an alternate ending which you can find it out by yourself or watch a tutorial. The last boss in the game is quite familiar if you have played dark souls 1. Some minor flaws are the awful frame rates on xbox one and the loading times. These issues arise even after 5 years and sekiro runs better on xbox than dark souls 3. New journey 2 is quite easy as it is like a reward to you after you beat the first journey. Some bosses can be cheesed and there are input delays which are quite frustrating as dodging attacks require precise timing. The character creator menu in the beginning is awful and making the most charming or a badass character would be quite hard, but that wont be a problem if you are wearing knight armor or something.

Matchmaking is horrible and the servers are laggy to the point that most invaders will just glide across the ground without moving, several core features of the game such as weapon scaling some covens and infusement are broken and useless in several instances, NPC scaling is completely broken in some areas and weak enemies will randomly do over 1000 damage with one attack even if you're wearing heavy armor often times instantly killing you out of nowhere, Magic wasn't implemented well and it's a pain in the ass to use according to my friends and for some reason there isn't any freaking poise in the game so literally EVERYTHING will stagger you.

    Several weapons have phantom range that gives them twice as much reach, You will literally be staggered by almost everything that hits you no matter how high your poise is and hackers and lag switchers are already abundant in PVP and as usual fromsoft isn't doing jack to fix their broken ass product, choosing to ignore the actual problems and do patches that no one asked for instead. This game can be great fun but the amount of sheer bullsh*t that fills almost every aspect of it just ruins the experience. I'm honestly considering getting rid of my copy at least until all of the patches are done. And as unbalanced and messed up as this one is that will probably be a year from now.

    Some idiots will whine and say that i'm a noob even though i've been playing since the first game and that the game is SUPPOSED to be hard.

People never really looked into the weapons and their special abilities, and that they had a cost to use them, much like DS3.

    This game was favored in light builds, and still is, giving them invincibility when they roll, and forcing shield blockers to suffer more stamina damage, poise is non-existent and the servers aren't as strong as in DS2. One critical hit has the potential to kill someone dressed as havel with a massive health pool. Even worse, rolling takes too little stamina. You can attack as much as you want and have enough stamina left to roll twice. Also, people complain that DS2 requires a stat to be able to use iframes, when it clearly balances the game, and those that have refused to invest in it don't understand the value of the stat, and further complain about the damage of enemies.

    Finally, I only continue to play this game for DS2 no longer holds multiplayer potential. It is a key mechanic, which I have finally gotten used to and I still prefer the scraps I get from DS2.    … Expand

    If you're tired of hand holding and "hard" difficulty settings that feel cheap with artificial AI increases, look no further than the Dark Souls series. You will die, a lot. But when you finish the game you will have a feeling like no other. This game looks and runs amazing on the XB1.

    Apparently there are a lot of people who enjoy this game. I am not one of them. My time playing was around two hours, before I quit and deleted the game from my console. Perhaps two hours is not enough to justify a review, so take it for what it is worth, but it was at least an hour longer than I wanted to play it.

    I found the game to be complete and utter Sega Genesis level garbage.    Apparently there are a lot of people who enjoy this game. I am not one of them.

    I found the game to be complete and utter Sega Genesis level garbage. My graphics didn't even remotely resemble on-line photos of the game. I saw no resemblance to an RPG nor any point to what I was doing - just wander around and hack things. Hack the bigger thing and get to go through a gate to hack some more things.

    Who am I? What am I? What am I trying to accomplish? Why am I hacking things? Why are they hacking me? No idea.    … Expand

    This is my first review I've ever done before, and I felt the need to write this as a warning to other gamers. This game is practically unplayable. I've never played a DS game before, but I've heard all the things about this franchise, that it was challenging, but I never thought it'd be a CHORE to play a video game.

This game is practically unplayable. I've never played a DS game before, but I've heard all the things about this franchise, that it was challenging, but I never thought it'd be a CHORE to play a video game. There is nothing that made me want to play this, because I just ended up yelling at my TV about how ridiculous this game is. If you're someone like me who enjoys a good challenge, but doesn't like a game being so difficult just for the sake of it, avoid this game. If you're looking to escape a few hours after a long day of work and unwind, once again, avoid this garbage. It'll just stress you out even more than work. After about the 20th time being killed by (what I assume to be) a miniboss, I quickly realized this is the dumbest game I've ever played. If I could go back to Gamestop and get a full refund, I would. So long story short, if you play video games to unwind, or just enjoy having fun in general, DON'T buy this crap. If you like doing tedious chores and enjoy the sensation of raising your blood pressure, this game is for you! Average gamer avoid at all costs.… Expand

    The only reason this game is remotely good is because it is part of the souls series. Everything they added that was good they took from earlier games, and everything that was in earlier games that is still present, they made worse. Bad game if it wasn't part of the souls series

    Awful game. Never played such a frustrating and limited game. Marketing is very misleading. This is not an RPG that it is made out to be. Owned it for 1 day and returned it.

    A zero score because it doesn't deserve a rating, i see all these payed reviews PRAISING the game.

    Saying its innovative what a crock of horse poop, its linear and has more problems than past DS games is missing valuable past functions (such as poise) the proper poise not this half arsed hyper armour crap. Parry is way to easy as it the ease of booting a shield, and front stabbing aka    A zero score because it doesn't deserve a rating, i see all these payed reviews PRAISING the game.

Parry is way to easy as it the ease of booting a shield, and front stabbing aka 1HK as it counts as a crit hit.

    It took way to much away from what made the dark souls games, and turned it into blood borne 1.5 for all platforms. Which is not imo what the dark souls fans were paying for, i don't have a play station 4 and even if i did i wouldn't pay to play this crap again under another name. Even some blood borne players are saying this isn't as good as blood borne mechanically, Well duh I wonder why. Because dark souls wasn't designed to be played as such, you take a massive chunk of its GUTS away what do you think will happen ?    … Expand

    FromSoftware have improved and refined an action-RPG series without parallel. Essential. [June 2016, p.77]

    One needs a certain disposition to appreciate Dark Souls III – a willingness to face setbacks and challenges and then overcome them. Don't expect to play this just like any other action-RPG. If you're going to play this game, it must be on its own terms and as it's meant to be played. That patience will be rewarded with a masterpiece, easily one of the best action and role-playing games of the year.

    An excellent final chapter for From Software's series, keeping all the best elements from previous games and forging them in a fresh and new experience. Sporting the best bosses in the series, Dark Souls III confirms itself as one of the most challenging and rewarding games around.
