You Are WRONG About Dark Souls 3

[@skinprintmusic]

Idk, when I started ds3 it was my first souls and it was insanely hard, then I tried ds1 and felt ease, pace is slower and I had time to think in a middle of a battle. But yes, an incredible level design of first ds can be frustrating enough for new players

[@saveritas731]

Great video. I like that DS3 is easier if you've played other Soulsborne games. The attitude that the game has towards the player is: You finished DS1 and Bloodborne? You'll fit in just fine here! Have a seat and grab a cold one, you've earned a break before Elden Ring.

[@MaTtRoSiTy]

DS3 is the best of the 3 for sure, I have finished it many times with the last time being a week ago. I am currently replaying DS1 and man that game has some very frustrating areas and mechanics that they mostly got rid of in DS3. I just think the Ringed City DLC has some of the most infuriating and cheap areas

[@rigorm136]

High wall of Lothric, Undead Settlement, and Cathedral of the Deep are some of the best areas in the series

[@Lucar56lucar]

Ds3 was and still is the hardest of the trilogy for me, i don't know how anyone can say it's easier than remastered, ds1 starts you with a hard boss and then gives you a way to make him easy Ds3 starts you with gundir, if you know how to parry he's easy, but he's way harder than asylum demon or even the two bosses in 3 that follow him, in ds1and 2 the other paths made it so if i ever got stuck I'd just explore somewhere else for a while and usually get some stuff or at least souls to make it worthwhile, in 3 if you get stuck, you can go backwards or keep slamming against that brick wall i don't get how anyone can see it as the easiest

[@grayestrat]

Midir isnt as much of a slog as people think. Yes his health bar is big but once you get the critical it chunks off like an entire quarter of his hp.

[@Tenacityyyy]

That's why I always say Gael has technically more health and also his crazy resistance adds to it

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

Pestilent mist shreds his health

[@grayestrat]

@Willzb-xk4ew hitting his head shreds his health. I killed him the other day with dagger and no rings and it only took a little over 3 minutes

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

@@grayestrat i know im just saying pestilent mist also shreds his health

[@grayestrat]

@Willzb-xk4ew the problem with using pestilent mist is that you won't get the critical hit

[@Dungeonsndabbin]

Ds3 still slaps to this day.

[@RadKatz]

agreed

[@HerrDext3r]

Agreed 100% - this is best Dark Souls game + it's better than Elden Ring.

[@grayestrat]

At least you're half right

[@themelancholia]

@@grayestrat Elden Ring is just running around an empty world looking for basic things

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

I wouldn't say its better than elden ring, more that its on par with it. Both have their strengths and weaknesses but both are absolutely great games (excluding elden ring dlc, that thing is an absolute beast)

[@motorizedbarofsoap6601]

Idk honestly I'm quite mixed about ds3. The second half of the game plus dlc is quite good but the first half is just really mediocre, weak levels, boring bosses beside gundyr and abyss watchers, ig dancer aswell but you usually fight them end game. The game takes a large uptick in quality once you get to itherieal boreal valley but I still find the first half just so boring. I did however play bb and sekiro first so maybe the standard was too high going in. Not saying ds3 is bad but I just personally believe that bb and sekiro are froms best work

[@Limbaugh_]

Boreal valley is still first half of the game

@@ruslinis1396 having to complete basically the whole game again for a second shot at a soul item is fucking dreadful. I aint going to the game twice just to deal with Friede and get her weapons ffs... Doesnt like, the demon soul have 3 different uses? Its an easy enemy to beat and cheese, no problems with that, but you have to beat the game 2½ times!!!!!!

[@shadowfan745]

10:23 Too much healing in DS3?! My brother in christ you can get up to 20 estus flasks in DS1 once you get 'Right of Kindling' sit the hell down. Edit: Forgot to say this was a awesome video!

[@RadKatz]

lol right, it's not a new thing to get lots of healing, ds2 had basically infinite healing with gems and thank you!

[@rigorm136]

Yeah the only healing items are your estus flasks, divine blessings, and some healing / regeneration from miracles, that one regeneration ring, and blessed infusion

[@Willzb-xk4ew]

One thing i avoid is all soulsborne games is PvP unless im just having to fun with my friends.

[@username_official]

Great video, keep it up! I'd like to recommend trying Sekiro. At first, I really struggled to learn the combat mechanics. It probably took me several days to actually understand what the game wanted from me. But when you overcome this hurdle, there's an amazing game underneath with really fun combat.

[@RadKatz]

I will give it a shot, my problem with the first time I tried it was I went into it thinking it was going to be dark souls but samurai. It's not that at all lol

[@kupokinzyt]

Great video! Though I don't think I've ever heard anyone say DS3 was bad lol. You are best saving a title like this for DS2 or Scholar Edition lol.

[@lilla4010]

Theres way too many ds2 hate videos so it wouldn't get views probably

[@RadKatz]

I already made a video about ds2 lol, I more so was going for a counter argument to what people dislike about ds3

[@comradecatbug5289]

Otzdarva is probably the most notorious DS3 critic. Even though he played it quite a lot and created content for it for a couple years, he was always clear that DS2 was superior to it (his opinion, not mine).

[@Nico2much4em]

True ds2 sotfs is a great game too idk about vanilla

[@RacistPenguin69]

exactly. another youtuber giving a cold take and acting like they're brave for it. most people think ds3 has the best gameplay and soundtrack of the series even if the level design and originality don't compare to ds1.

[@sniff8739]

Got damn right. LOVE DS3. May our Lord and Savior Young Micheal Zaki bless thee...... or in other words, fear the old blood......

[@InfinityN]

DS1 still my favorite.

[@tlasjc]

Couldn’t agree more! Huge step forward from DS2.

[@hirotashi5950]

More like a huge step backwards in my opinion.

[@anthonyferranti7018]

DS3 is the best souls game of all time DS1 is my favorite souls game Elden Ring is the best souls like Bloodborne is my favorite souls like

Didn't your parents watch some kinda anime?..

ds3 is an amazing game just for a first ( and maybe second ) experience, that's it. 0 replay value.

[@Nechromachia]

I’m tired of posers and tourists complaining about “toxicity”. “Git gud” is not toxicity, it’s informal slang for “you can do better, I believe in you”. It’s a kind of rough love, reflecting the experience of the game itself- are you gonna whine and cry that you can’t defeat a boss, or are you gonna look at the situation as a positive challenge? I guess it’s a matter of world-view, something that the games should teach you… It’s also, as you said, gatekeeping. You haven’t learned the lesson that the souls games preach. If you hear “improve” and immediately think it means something negative as opposed to a challenge to be overcome… That’s a you problem, dude. I prescribe you a SL1 deathless run of DS3, maybe that’ll fix it /j If you want to talk about toxicity, bring up the insane amount of political activists that infest practically every online community around the souls games outside of 4chan. It says a lot that the most wholesome community around the souls games also happens to be on the website that most people think is more toxic than blight town.

[@themelancholia]

Well IDK. Souls fans seem to think souls games are the only difficult series ever made. They ignore CoD Zombies, Terraria, Darkest Dungeon, Payday 2, and various PvP games. They are obsessed with difficulty and think every criticism of the games comes from a lack of skill. The only skill in these games is pressing the dodge button.

[@kigi6969]

DS1 is a bad game for obvious reasons.
