    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.

The level of customisation in ways you can play has also been improved as there are more weapons such as weapons from killing bosses and there are more spells and such. Overall a masterclass of game design. Expand

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. Its combat system is a masterpiece of depth and precision, forcing players to learn the nuances of weapon types, dodge timings, and enemy behavior.

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.

    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. The new ability to fast-travel between bonfires was a well-needed addition. Boss battles are faster and more intense.

    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.

    The Boss fights are incredibly fun, though a few gimmicky ones left me wanting a little more. I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game, multiple playthroughs with various builds, and its well worth your money. Go buy it now. Game of the Year for 2016.

    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. Nothing drastically new is added meaning the game does feel rather similar to the previous games but this is in no way a bad thing as the formula in place is such a good one.

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

    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

    Overall if you loved The souls/Borne series you will love dark souls 3

    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.

    As someone who is a fan of fantasy (The Witcher 3, Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones etc.) I felt intrigued enough to pick this game up. Great choice. This is the kind of game that you can play for 5 hours and not even know where the time went, and that is a rare occasion for me these days.
    The graphics look good, it plays fluidly, and some of the enemies are so badass looking that I can't help but admire them as they kill me.
    I've sunk 16 hours into this game the past week, only beaten 3 bosses, but I'm loving every step of the way. If it's your first time and you're intimidated and worried you are going to keep dying, you WILL keep dying, but you will love it anyways. Pick it up. Just try to learn the basics from Youtube videos or Google since this game does not hold your hand.

(Don't know too much about magic though. Have never played with a magic build in any of the games). The presentation is jaw dropping, with it's visually stunning world and incredible soundtrack. 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).

    Overall, while I think Dark Souls 1 is the superior game, i find Dark Souls 3 much more enjoyable. I can't wait to get into NG+.

    Es el segundo Dark Souls que termino (DS II me frustró mucho, y aunque lo dejé muy avanzado, no lo llegué a terminar) y sin duda creo que es el más pulido y mejor llevado de la trilogía. 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 narrativaEs el segundo Dark Souls que termino (DS II me frustró mucho, y aunque lo dejé muy avanzado, no lo llegué a terminar) y sin duda creo que es el más pulido y mejor llevado de la trilogía. 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. Es un gran juego que recomiendo a cualquiera que pueda con la frustración de ciertos segmentos donde, sinceramente, dan ganas de romper el mando.

Challenging yet rewarding when you complete a task. Downfall I would say is more of a tutorial would have been nice seeing it is my first dark souls and would have been better if story had more multiplayer options.

    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.
