"Regardless of the absolute score, we have some complaints. We would like to have more imagination, courage and new content. DSIII is rather a superb compilation of previous games from the series. If you are a novice, it can be seen as an advantage. [Issue#263]"

"Despite the odd issues I ran into with the game, be it performance related, or gameplay related (mobs of enemies don’t always make a game harder FromSoftware), Dark Souls 3 is a gargantuan step up from Dark Souls 2 in terms of design...From Software has included a lot for players to mess around with, and between the various armor sets, locations, weapons and enemies to get acquainted with, Dark Souls 3 is one behemoth of a game that could stand at the top of the entire series in terms of quality." ...

"In most games there is a simple pleasure of success that accompanies them. The payoff for Dark Souls isn't guaranteed, but goes somewhat deeper than that. It feels a little more like genuine accomplishment, found in small does along the way and promised in large measure when you finally find yourself skilled at this wonderfully unique little corner of the gaming world.

Yes, it is not such a phenomenon as the first one, and, seriously, it can't stand to that masterpiece.
But still this game just absorbedYes, it is not such a phenomenon as the first one, and, seriously, it can't stand to that masterpiece.
But still this game just absorbed everything great about Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1&2, Bloodbourne and there is nothing wrong with it, because it's a quintessence of Hidetaka Miyazaki's ingenious creativity.
The stortelling, characters, foes, gameplay, f*cking legendary atmosphere... Thanks, Hidetaka. I'm sorry that this is the end of those game series. Looking forward for your future creations.… Expand

A really good finale to the series. It's got some of the most immersive and graphically impressive enviroments. The art design and sound areA really good finale to the series. It's got some of the most immersive and graphically impressive enviroments. The art design and sound are top notch. Enemy variety is well done, and the bosses are no longer all "dudes in armor". There is definitely more emphasis on learning the patterns of bosses this time around. If you're melee, it can sometimes be a bit frustrating to learn all of the telegraphs and time the corresponding roll. But it's all the more satisfying to be honest, because it was far too easy in previous games to just deck out with mass poise and a greatshield and cheese every boss. Another annoyance is how they continued Dark Souls 2 way of handling NPC's. And how most of them require little convincing to join you and remain in firelink for the majority of the time. Playing the ATM machine for the player's convenience. That was definitely better in DS1, where NPC's left Firelink at some point.

It does however require a beefy system to get it to stick to 60fps. And especially on the CPU side. You'll have no qualms with an overclocked i5 and a GTX 970 / 980. But you will have issues with AMD FX CPU's and Radeon Graphics cards. Since those cards have more CPU overhead in the drivers, compounding the issue.

I will be playing this again and again. And to all the whiny **** giving it a 1-4 because they can't appreciate having to put effort into a game, git gud.

I will give it 9/10, for fromsoftware not really ironing out the performance (though personally I was able to play it flawlessly), some slight overuse of emphasis on rolling and the handling of NPC's. They are minor complaints, hence I'm not detracting much more.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Actully my brother plays this game and i m playing because of him. I play sekiro and i love the combat but dark souls is boring, slow , washed out envirenment and the worse is boss design. In the game there is a boss like a tree that you hv to smash its bolls ,it grabs me several times and i dont know how to evoid it it just grabs from nowhere without any signs. Another boss was kind a dog that you hv to go under it when you is under its belly you cant see ur self and gets hit from somwhere that i do not recognize it .if i was i tottaly desagree with the 8.9 point of rewivs for me sekiro feels Like a real fight but dark souls is hide and seek. Sorry for english .
first i gave it 4 but now im totally changed my mind this game is far byond ****… Expand
