The only time I played it was near release I didn't encounter a single person and was wondering what all the fuss was about. Not that the core game isn't interesting.

Harvest Valley is easy to get through when you know where you are going since it doesn't impede your movement. Farron Keep is the worst poison valley. Its a loving garbage and so insanely boring. Even when you ignore everything in it and do the bare minimum, it still takes a few minutes due to the abundance of muck.

Holy poo poo, I was going to get around to the Nioh DLC eventually but playing it on the PC sounds rad.

Looper posted:Black Gulch is short enough to work well imo and I really dig the aesthetic. I also think the slow descent into the Gutter owns and in general enjoy the torch/darkness stuff, even if it wasn't as fully realized as people hoped The gutter is excellent, but black gulch is just too short and easy. It feels more incomplete than Lost Izalith. It'd be a better zone if there wasn't a bonfire at the beginning. If you had were forced to go through it immediately after the gutter it'd be more exciting but as it is if you screw up too much you can just restart and only lose 10 feet of progress.

Farron keep is one of the better parts of the game, the only bad part is those lovely enemies that do that janky jump and claw your head off.

The game is restricted to the 1080p-max 60fps mode and the special 4k 30 fps mode the ps4 pro has.

If DS3 had the Rusted Iron Ring from the first game, I would have no problems with Farron Keep. But it doesn't. So Farron Keep loving sucks. edit: And honestly it not being included is so strange to me considering the sheer number of straight-outta-Lordran enemies and items that pop up in 3 elsewhere.

Hell I like it. Pretty varied number of enemies in the area, some of which with very cool designs like the super tall ghrus, a non-linear objective for completing the area and a couple nifty secrets. Also there are not that many spots where you absolutely have to walk in the slow muck, so I don't find repeat playthroughs that annoying.

The giant dudes with the trees are really cool, going up the towers and seeing above the canopy to get your bearings was cool, the secret area with Havel was cool, also the boss was very cool. All in all it was a pretty decent area which puts it above most of DS2

I mean it's not the greatest place in the world but it's by no means bad. You need a swamp of poo poo to counter the earlier and later majestic cathedrals. The only thing I can think of that's bullshit is those tall lanky enemies who are able to do grab attacks with no telegraph

Probably the worst thing I can say about the area is that they totally wussed out and made the poison itself completely harmless.

Lemme put i this way; there's a problem the Souls series has where a lot of the time, its better to just run past and ignore the enemies than actually engage with them. Farron Keep is this problem at its worst. There's no reason to actually bother engaging with the enemies there. The slugs are lovely and pointless, easily ignored. The grues have no chasing potential so you can easily bypass them. Basilisks are only dangerous if you actually linger in there gas. The elder grues are utterly horrid and trying to fight them in the sludge is an exercise in frustration. I don't like running past enemies in Souls games, but actually fighting stuff in Farron isn't fun. If I don't want to actually fight the enemies and its easier to ignore them than engage with them, then I feel like there has been a failure in the game design.

There's a reason no maps from Splatoon 2 even resemble Moray Towers but thanks to the japanese popularity vote on which maps to bring to S2 we have this wonderful relic! gently caress off you idiotic japanese middle schoolers! you dont know map design for poo poo! Wait, that was picked because they put it up to a vote?! Over massively superior maps like Skatepark or Warehouse, or even Heights??

I mean, it's cool if you want to play that way but it's kind of funny that you see one of the basic properties of the game as a problem. Souls series is grimdark Metroid. It's a game about mastering traversal of an environment and then boss fights. One way to traverse the environment is slowly and carefully, killing everything until you have empty levels that you can explore to your heart's content. The other way of doing it is learning how you can make your way through the space safely through a mixture of fighting and avoiding.

I understand that, but I think enemies should at least be an obstacle so that running past them has some degree of challenge to it. Enemies in Farron Keep aren't hard to avoid, and trying to actually fight them is way more difficult than just ignoring them. This is a problem with almost every area in the Souls series, but I feel its really amplified in Farron Keep.
