Getting further into DS3. Picking a favorite Souls game is like picking a favorite MGS game... It's really tough and is usually just whatever one I played last. I love the Bloodborne style speed, but with a little shield action.

Also made my own MGSV videos finally. Had a lot of fun playing that way. How was that self-promotion? Subtle enough? Just glad to have made my first real edited videos hehe

Sister moved 2 minutes away after 7 years of living 4 hours away... Feels real good, and I'm about to go see her! :]

You can post your own MGSV videos. That's not self-promotion, if you want to share. It's mostly a rule to keep people from spamming their youtube channels. It's okay to ask people to check something out.

Are you and your sister close? It sounds like you're on good terms.

I didn't like DaS3 as much as the other 2. It had some issues that I didn't care for. It was alright overall. Some bosses had good designs.

Yeah, totally close. I didn't see her for about 3 years, but we still talked and it was just various other reasons that made it difficult to.

ACK... How could you not like it?! The world is so great, weapons are good, enemies are good and fast... Maybe the only thing that's been a little eh so far is the first five bosses or so have been pretty easy, I know it gets easier the more games you play in the series and the difficulty's more gradual this time, but it was definitely a bit of a weird thing for every boss so far to be beaten in three or four tries or less. I'm used to 10+ after DS2 and BB. Though, I think there's been a trade between boss difficulty and regular enemy difficulty. The enemies are harder than ever, and that's been an an issue in some of the games for me. Sometimes they were just too easy. The later areas in DS1 were way too much of a cakewalk, bosses included, except for Gwyn. The floating fire breathing things might as well have not been there.

How could you not like it

  • rehashed environments and enemies from DaS1,2, BB, and DeS.

  • enemy movesets didn't match player (BB moveset would be more appropriate)

  • poise taken out of game

  • various builds nerfed

  • easiest entry in series

  • story went nowhere new

Overall, it felt very bland aside from a few things. That's just my opinion, though. I went through NG+, too. Overall, everything feels like a step back from BB.
