Dark Souls 3

[heyokah]

There were more incentives to PVP in DS2(you had to PVP as a blue quite a bit to get WoTG, or wait until NG+ and buy it as one example), and more ways to do it. DS3 is a solid 9.5/10 though. Replayabilty is a little lower than other souls games, but I still found myself beating it with multiple builds, 4 I think(yes I know you can re-roll, talkin bout real Replayabilty). PVP gets a bit stagnant after a while. Invasions were always my fav PVP in any souls game. They are still fun in 3, but 9/10 times you invade, its gonna be a 1v3 and you're basically fucked if they are any good at all

Played for ~ 80 hours . Single player was fun first run through and challenging enough if you didn't use summons on the lords of cinder (especially lothric twin princes) and name less king was annoying unless you had dragsonslayer shield . Once +5 it made that boss fairly easy . That said I did NG+ to NG+7 with no real upgrades except the ng++ rings and largely ran past most non boss npcs. Maxed out at SL 106 (and that was only because I was doing hollowing with yoel for usurpation of fire ending) with 40 vit 50 str and some dex (over 15 so I could wirld dark sword +10). Also liked butcher knife +10. Think I ended ng7 with 8.5-9million souls since there wasn't anything else to buy.
Pvp was ok . Didn't really feel like I got invaded often and think I only died maybe 3 times (out 20 total invasions). Lots of estoc R1 spammers (ps4). I would hardly say I'm good at pvp , maybe just got matched with even worse players

Overall though it's the first one I've played since demon souls in 2009 and I really enjoyed the single player the first couple of times. It's encouraged me to try bloodborne for additional challenge.

Right on! You ever beat Demon's Souls @ SL1? I did and it was a hell of a challenge. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i was the first person in the world to beat demon souls at SL1 without upgrading equipment, those were fun times. we started with like 850 people and 80% dropped out on the Maneater boss.

Edited because we didn't actually have any statistical data on people completing SL1 NGU in other countries.
