Brad from Giant Bomb is streaming Dark Souls 1 Anor Londo and whilst yes, he isn't at the game its really hammering home just how much more forgiving Dark Souls 3 is. Recovery times are shorter, it's easier to roll around enemies, the mid roll has more invincibility frames, you chug estus faster. I ran through Undead Parish earlier and had the same observations. Dark Souls 3 does not want you to turtle up with a shield and wait for the right moment to attack. It wants you to charge. It's certainly not Bloodborne (though I do miss the rally mechanic), but it's certainly a faster game.

I'm really enjoying embracing the idea the Mound Makers, especially since I don't actually care about the rewards. Sometimes you try to kill the host, sometimes you legit coop with them, sometimes you help other phantoms, sometimes you fight them, or some combination of each. I wish if you invaded as a mad phantom you could fight enemies. I love the idea of involuntary coop.

Okay, PvP in this game is broken. Invade a guy, he runs to the bonfire and summons dudes then a blue guy comes as icing on the top. Invade a guy, him and two of his buddies are standing right where you spawn in, emote at you, you can't move because you have two heavy weapons smashing you and a lightning spear hitting you. Invade a guy at level 20, his friend in Ornstein's gear casts something that demolishes you because you don't have the HP for that poo poo. Invade a guy, leveled down guy with a pimped out estoc pokes you three times and you die. It was fun when it's a few purple pals against the host and his crew of dudes, but solo invading is complete garbage. It'd be nice if you couldn't switch in and out of Way of the White at will. When you're not sunbroing or invading there's no reason not to have Way of the White on.

Get in, take some health off somebody, get out without taking a hit. Rolling, quick hits, rolling again, all useful here. Once you've scratched somebody, they get mad and will almost always chase you and/or go on the offensive. 2. Run to a squad of tough enemies. 3. Use the chaos to either pick dead a phantom or, most satisfying, rush in and wreck the host in a quick combo. The worst is a one-on-one duel that's going poorly for the host, so they summon somebody in and just roll constantly and run around until their helper can spawn in. Had one rear end in a top hat who wasted all his estus failing to get the better of me, but he called in a Sunbro and two on one is never good odds.

In Dark Souls 1, in the Undead Burg, there's those guys with the shields and spears. They track your movements so you can't roll around them while locked on, and spin at a speed that sprinting around them is kind of pointless because they'll punish by trying to hit you. The only time they make themselves open is when they are lowering their shields to start an attack. However, you can force their guard to break by two-handing your weapon and just swinging at the shield a few times- swinging one handed will make your weapon bounce off, but being maximum aggressive will render them totally useless. Dark Souls 3 is that, but a whole game of it.

This is a very good game! Don't know if I like it more than SotFS yet, probably have to wait for DLC for things to pan out. My only real complaint is that it might be *too* fast. I came onto it from Bloodborne, and played pretty much the same way, so it wasn't a huge issue, but I kind of miss the more measured pace of the earlier games. Also it was pretty lame that the last three bosses were all based around dodging two or three big horizontal attacks, get one or two retaliatory strikes in, rinse and repeat. Epic one on one duel bosses are a little overrated in this series imo, like after people loved Artorias so much From have been chasing that dragon ever since.

I was gonna laugh about the funny grief-reversal in DS3 but I was trying to show a friend of mine the ropes last night and, after getting invaded a total of four times playing the entire game embered/solo, every single time he summoned me it was a nonstop invasionfest of people hanging around the High Wall of Lothric with estocs, late-game armor, and a boatload of flask charges.

Seriously all the bitching about this seems to be from invader perspective but as someone who loves to get invaded while solo and have been invaded a grand total of twice so far it's pretty loving sad. Sure once I finish the game I'll have plenty of souls for Embers + Fingers to get invaded as much as I like, but my favorite part of DS1/2 was genuinely being invaded in low-level areas when both of us have very limited options at our disposal, and there's no way to afford that kinda expenditure to stay invade-able until you're quite a way through the game. It sucks poo poo.
