I've never enjoyed PVP in any DS game. BB was passable.

What was wrong with PVP in DS3?

SMH if you don't just pick the outfit you think looks the best and get better at the game to justify wearing it over "Superior" alternatives.

This is the big reason I miss being able it upgrade armor. In DS2 (which was my most-played before BB) I would upgrade cosmetic armors so they were actually comparible to non-upgraded utility armors.

BB handles it the best though, where armor stats hardly matter except for a couple specific spots

The meta quickly coalesced into parry > one shot with ugw + hornet ring. In addition, invading with a red eye heavily favored you getting hosts that had phantoms in their world already, and they could still summon phantoms after getting invaded. Estus was much faster and no poise meant heavy armor was useless. Also location covenants literally didn't work.
Granted they may have fixed these problems but that was the experience for a month past launch.

I wish I'd saved the interview with Taro Yoko where the guys at Platinum told him they could have Nier: Automata running at 60 FPS and he said, "Actually what if we had a boss who deliberately tanked the framerate as one of his moves."

Like for dramatic effect? That would be great. Like when you defeat a boss and it kicks it into slo-mo so you can savor it.

Only the shittiest slomo is low framerate, though. Quadruple framing has it's uses in film, but...

A boss that tanks the framerate would be okay as long as it was still a steady and constant framerate. Like rock-steady 15 fps.

Pretty much this. If it can stay at a solid frame rate. Fine with me. It only sucks when it staggers.

Much as I love Bloodborne, the frame rate tanks when you do co op in certain areas.

I bought a ps4 for Bloodborne, I'm not getting a pro because there's not pro patch for Bloodborne.

I still don't like Dark Souls 2, it has so many lame bosses especially compared to 3. The PvP covenants were cool, but I'm much more invested in the boss battles and the only ones I liked were the skeletal chariot and the two rat bosses.

E: I never played the dlc tho, maybe that's where all the good bosses are hidden

Fume Knight, Alonne, Elena, Sinh, and the Ivory King are all really really good

However each DLC also has a co-op focused area, and the bosses of those areas are all pretty lazy. You've got a three-on-one pvp fight (unless you summon), Smelter Demon again but blue (I like Smelter tho so I dug this fight), and the ice tiger midboss again except now there are two

But anyway Dark Souls 2 is the best because it has the best punching weapons
