Dark Souls 3 (PS4)

I have played every Souls game (even that one) and I love Dark Souls 3. I can't stop playing it, I never get tired of it. This game is the sequel to the first souls game I always secretly wanted. Continuing the story of the world, improving game mechanics (that aspect especially!) combat and the infamous boss battles. My advice for playing a souls game is this: Don't feel bad if you can't figure things out on your own. I know what I'm doing and even I get stuck from time to time. A-lot of the games choices are incredibly arbitrary. For instance, the NPC interactions have always been one of the best parts of Dark Souls and it breaks my heart that they're so easy to miss. This game does improve some-what as most of them are on the main path but they all have 1 bit thats very easy to miss and the whole quest line is shot.Dark Souls has always relied on the shared knowledge of the community and thats a double edged sword. Its very easy to have the entire games lore and surprises spoiled for you. I have met people who will pretty much read to you the games entire plot even though they were asked a completely different question.For your first character...always keep it simple. In Dark Souls 1 it was the Pyromancer and here its definitely the Knight. Just focus on getting your strength, dexterity, stamina, vigor and vitality up. I like to keep them all on the same level, personally. And give yourself as much Estus as possible, you won't need the Ashen Estus flask unless you're using spells which I don't recommend for your first play through in this games case. So make the blacksmith one of the first people you talk to. Pro-tip: Embers are your best friend. They're worth 1000 souls and when used restore all your health instantly, so use them to save your estus once per life. Explore! See anything shiny? Pick it up, see something? Assess the situation and pick them off one by one, think you can make that jump or get to that area, give it a try, does that wall look suspicious? hit it! An item you're not familiar with? Try talking to somebody or taking it to the fire to see if any new options or dialogue pops up. Sell anything you can't think of a use for or store it for later, if you must. You do need all the souls you can get after all!For your first play through only really focus on going down one path and once thats exhausted, try the other path until thats exhausted and so on. The game rewards exploration and being careful! Its worth investing in a bow or some firebombs. If you do heed this advice its very likely you'll find and kill most of the games bosses. There are three optional areas and bosses you see, all easy to miss if you're not paying attention. They're not mandatory or anything but are just more large things to kill. two of the three are very easy to find if you heed this advice, the third is very tricky. You see you need to have visited one of the other areas to access the the other. So do stay observant!

So this was my first Souls game. never even heard of them until i saw it being played on twitch and decided to buy it. in comes the first area boss and 2 hours later with endless failed attempts at beating him I retreated to bed unhappy searching on google about how DS3 is it too hard to be fun. I pursued through. beating him with my heart pounding, body filled with adrenaline as I saw his life meter going down and the pure joy I'venever had before in a game as i saw him tumble down and I lit the bonfire afterwards. I was hooked.this is by the most intense and difficult gaming experience I have ever encountered. Im basically finished the game now. it's taken me 60 hours. I've died hundreds of times. I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants a challenge. I've never known a game to bring on such a turmoil of emotions in me, from the tense moments where I've gone so far and absolutely desperate to find the next bonfire without dying. to seeing the next amazingly designed boss for the first time. this game is punishingly difficult but i would just say practice practice practice.

Elements from the previous Souls games, and Bloodborne of course, all brought together to make a 'greatest hits' collection.My favourites were always Demons Souls and the original Dark Souls - and starting out in DS3 is bringing back memories of both of these, as it is DS1 that this game seems to be attempting to recapture. The whole setting, look, weapons, familiar npcs - all here. Speeded up a little with a bit from Bloodborne, made a little easier with elements from DS2 (more bonfires, ability to respec in later game) this is a must for any Souls fan. If you haven't had the experience, pick up Demons Souls and see how far you get.Some like these games for the ultimate rewarding gameplay; if you have the patience, and the determination to have one more go even when it all seems too much, then this is a must-have.

I have been a fan of the dark souls series since playing dark souls 1 and I would say this is the best dark souls game to date. The graphics are great, the controls are smooth and most of the enemies/bosses are challenging. The only downside to this game are the invasions, because if you invade somebody else the odds are stacked against you as there are a few covenants that will automatically summon in phantoms to help the host when you invade. This can get very annoying at times but other than this the game is worth the buy if you are a fan or are looking for a new game to play.

Da amante della serie, non posso non aver apprezzato questo gioco. Stupendo.

Bra pris, snab leverans

Recibido en fecha, en perfecto estado, muy buen precio y del juego poco decir muchísimas horas de diversión de un juego que te otorga el don de la paciencia, compra muy aconsejable

I purchased for my grandson but he wasn't impressed with the graphics after playing some newer games such as horizon.

Uno dei migliori videogiochi a cui abbia mai giocato. Molto consigliato, ma bisogna essere un po' consapevoli di che tipo di gioco è prima di comprarlo
