    Imagine if EA published this game; you don't have enough titanite shards for this upgrade, buy the 100 shard pack (best value) for $199.99

      If you need help killing demon in pain / from below you can just buy the summon pak (tm) for 19.99 which lets you summon slave knight Gael once every 2 hours. If you don’t want to wait, you can pay another 4.99 to immediately summon him again.

    I no longer feel bad about having to wait until official release day, as I have experienced no frame drops like the ones shown here. The swamp was just a typical pain in the ass, not a Blighttown revisited pain in the ass.

    DARKSOULS REVIEW
    Overall, the community is easy going and the players are kind to one another. You will find yourself being helped throughout the game with powerful npc’s and fair mechanics. Other players will also be available to summon and will protect you from harm. This is a game for people who want to take it easy and enjoy themselves. If you are interested in hardcore game I would suggest you turn to a more complex game like Borderlands.
    With that being said, be sure to check out Dark Souls III if you enjoy games:
    that are easy to learn
    that don’t have steep learning curves
    that will tell you where to go
    that don’t screw you over with unfair 1-hit combos
    that have a story you don’t have to find out on your own

    • @T3MPZx
      @T3MPZx 8 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Players are kind to one another? Everyone in dark souls 3 uses the most overpowered weapons and then taunt you once you get killed, the community is cancer

    Dude. You're reviews are fucking awesome.

    Do you still get slowed down by locking onto enemies? Unable to strafe outside of the locked on mode, or just bland combo system and dodging as opposed to blocking/feigning/directional attacks.

    "Magic hasn't taken the same step forward in speed."
    GOOD. The last thing I(and I am sure others) wanna see is some vid saying all 'All Dark Soulz Bosses Solo No Damage MLG Edition' and launch it to see someone circling the bosses from 75 yards out, on one of those swagway hoverboard things spamming some soul geyser like spell until they drop and act like it's some show of skill. I cannot stand that.
    But hey, maybe I'm unreasonable.

    • @Th3Downz
      @Th3Downz 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I've never played using magic, I never even attuned pyromancy. But the videos I've seen definitely make it look easier. It's either run up and shove a spear up a demons rectum or jog around shooting fairy dust.

    • @N0XEL
      @N0XEL 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Nick Tucker agreed , I use magic but its usually only to buff my weapon or to get rid of swarms of enemies like in dark souls 2 against that rat boss in the grave of the saints, I hate the pvp invaders that spam the same spells while rolling away, in my opinion dex weapons are the best since their fast and require little stamina its always funny when a guy with the fume ultra greatsword invade and I parry him and get the kill with my rapier

    • @jengaaaaa
      @jengaaaaa 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had most trouble with pure magic build in this game. I even had to switch to physical and fire weapons for few bosses.

    • @conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059
      @conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah man...I completely agree. I don't care what people say, those lvl 100 million players who kill bosses in 1 shot with a magic blast are just showing off a great flaw in the game. Grinding your character to a point where u can one shot a boss is an example of patience and not skill

    It's not entirely 100% spoiler free when you show us locations, weapons etc., I skipped to the ending to see what you rated the game, hope it's okay :)
    I have already heard that miracles and pyromancies are underpowered af, and that the game has frame drops, but all of this will probably get fixed for the Western launch.

    Two questions Karak if you or someone else happens to know. Is power stance still in the game or has weapon mastery replaced this? Did you try doing a range only bow build in the game? I know they made using bows faster without having to manually target.
    Thanks!

  • @schantzee5733
    @schantzee5733 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I'm about 30 hours into the game and passed the swamp area a while ago. I haven't experienced any major frame rate drops below 25 fps at the worst of times. I am running an average gaming PC with an FX-6300, R9 280, and 8GB RAM. I think they either patched those issues or they must be hitting other hardware harder. Then again, I'm not recording footage simultaneously. Amazing game so far and better then all the others in the series except when it comes to boss difficulty. They bosses are cool but just don't seem to have enough health because the fights are short and it takes far fewer attempts.

      Thomas Smyth well the 280 is overall a better card but the gap isn't that far. I see no reason why you should be having major issues. I finished the game with little to no issues, with the exception of known bugs in the game. What is your typical fps look like?

      @fredman2640 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Max Buttrill While they Are similar, theye not reused. I noticed this myself when i heard a monster dying. The first bit was very much like Bloodborne, but the entire soundfile in itself isn't. I've spend over 700 hours in Bloodborne myself so those sounds are printed into the back of my skull.

    • @mewatzittoya

    • @maxbuttrill2569
      @maxbuttrill2569 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Draik Yeah, you're right. They are not the exact same. It just kind of reminded me of the death sounds of some of the villagers at the beginning of the game.

    • @fredman2640
      @fredman2640 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Max Buttrill I actually like it when they reuse certain things. Gives sort of a nostalgic feeling, and something that reminds you that the franchise is still what it used to be. Good example is the Asylum Demon mob they added in the game.

    I want to get into these games, but I just can't. It's not the difficulty itself. I don't mind having to get better at the game and I will admit killing the few bosses I did kill felt satisfying.....but I still end up being bored at the end.
    It isn't anything wrong with the game, but I just don't see the incentive for dealing with the difficulty worth it. Some players can derive enjoyment DIRECTLY from overcoming hardship, but I grew up right when games with story elements started becoming more popular. Most of my enjoyment usually comes with some sort of story or adventure I enjoy having...Guess that's why I'm a D&D fan as well. Challenge alone doesn't satisfy me. For me, a satisfying challenge is the cherry on top of an already fun adventure rather than what I get all of my fun from. If I was more interested in the game's lore, locations, or weaponry, I'm sure I would have grinded this game until I got gud, but unfortunately, this game will just be another game I play just because my friends do.

      Yeah the first Dark Souls game was a masterpiece. I quite enjoyed Demon Souls too but DS1 was what got me hooked! Completed it using every class and pushed the game to it's boundaries. Faith/Sorcery + Dexterity were my favourite classes. Bring back the Balder Side Sword!!!!! Oh and I hope the drakes in this game aren't pathetic like in DS2, really didn't like that game...

    • @MMA-CLIPS2
      @MMA-CLIPS2 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Slaver Bed of chaos was a bitch, no doubt. But I figured out a sequence which would result in either none or just one death when attempting to kill her/it. Eagle shield fully upgraded, stamina boost, and light armour. Go left first, time it correctly then head to the right side running with your shield up. Once that is done, move carefully to the front of her and simply roll of the edge (slightly to the right). Do not hang around the holes in the ground as, well, I'm sure you know what happens Lol.

      Hijynx87 IDGAF if its the "right way to go" for the game, if I buy a game for PC I expect it to work well on M&K not have to fork out more money for a controller cause the devs are to retarded or lazy to bother coding in proper pc controls. If I want to play with a controller I will buy a fucking console.

    • @BigfootUnibrowMan
      @BigfootUnibrowMan 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      +Supadrumma441 No need to be so butthurt about it, some games just play better with a gamepad. For example I would never play a racing game with mouse and keyboard because a controller feels vastly superior. A gamepad is just another peripheral for pc like headphones or a steering wheel. You definitely don't need a console to enjoy playing games with a controller.

    thought about some changes they could make a while. In that time I thought that Bows and Crossbows shouldn't have infusions and I'm glad they did that even if it's only just slightly compared to other factors. It's not exactly for balance reasons, but I just cannot rationalize how a weapon that requires mechanical usage and fires an arrows would actually imbue an arrow with anything maybe except sorcercy. It just makes the world a little more coherent.

    While I can see why this game would fall into the buy now category for me personally Soul games always fall in the wait for sale category roughly when i can find it for about $30 just for the fact story is just as important as gameplay to me i just don't like their style of making you read about the lore and trying to figure it out with that said I might have to rent this a few times just to get my fix while waiting for the price to drop cause this 1 looks better than the others at a first glance to me

      +7lightsaber69 That's your opinion. If I wanted to sit through an hour long cutscene just to physically be able to progress through a game then that it is poor design decision. I want to play a game not watch a movie. There are so many great games that could benefit from less of that bullshit dialogue choice and more of the awesome exploration and figuring shit out on your own.

      Alex Butera I agree with you some games feel like the extra long cutscenes are forced just for the sake of making the game longer and starts to feel like a crappy movie and do have to much like you are saying , All i was trying to say is i Prefer some story through cutscenes and dialogue i don't like reading the description on everything and story is just important as game play to me but hey we all got out own personal opinions

    • @SNOWSOS
      @SNOWSOS 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      7lightsaber69 There is plenty of story that exists out side text descriptions, the difference is everything isn't conveniently revealed to you by some generic villain. A the bottom of a flooded city a mound of human corpses should give you an idea of what happened, using your head and a little imagination should never be a negative. Everything from the condition of locations to appearance of armors, architecture and bosses can be telling a story. Just because you don't get it doesn't mean it doesn't hold some significance.

      dark souls 2 is probably the longest one, especially if you get the Scholar version with all the dlc. It has some not so great level design at certain points, but overall is worth playing.

    • @flextits4883
      @flextits4883 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +Tiger Festivals yeah I just finished Scholar of the First Sin on ps4 and I definitely noticed how inferior it is to the other Souls games. Level design wasn't great and it was much more linear. Also the boss fights weren't anything special either and there were too many of them and they were mostly very easy. It's definitely my least favorite of the series. I guess it just felt like a huge step back because I had just played Ds3 and Bloodborne before it. Even Dark Souls 1 was less clunky than 2 imo.

    Good review mate. I'm not gonna lie, that performance issue you mentioned has me fairly nervous. I have a 6700k and 980Ti but will be playing this on my ROG Swift, ala 1440p resolution. There ain't no amount of G-Sync goodness that's gonna make 12fps feel good. Ouch!

      +ACG I'm curious, did you try dropping res down to 720p or lower? how'd it perform if ya did?

      +ACG No worries. Last question, what CPU are you using and at what speed?
