Dark Souls III - E3 Demo Impressions

Good. No reason my rig shouldn't be able to hit 60, but was worried that they would artificially limit it. Although, I guess DS had that limit and people developed a way around it on their own.

If you mean turning direction between attacks I've got news for you:
- Weapons in DS1 could do it too (Ultra Greatswords)
- ALL weapons can do it in Bloodborne (aka the last game made by Miyazaki)
So I hope that's not a deal breaker because it's probably gonna be in DS3.
You mean sub 30 because that's what you were actually getting most of the game.
As for me, give me 60 FPS any day. Gameplay is the most important thing and the simple fact is, DS1 and DS2 played better with 60. Which is why I'll be on PC.

Because if they have to change something between now and when the game releases, people won't know.
Hehe, you're evil.
Base camp doesn't necessarily mean separate hub, could be Firelink Shrine style, so I guess it still makes sense.
About the Lords of Cinder stuff, that explains the "new bosses" bit of the leak. We're probably fighting at least Gwyn and Vendrick as God Hands
At least they're using the dumb cycle thingie as background for something new.
People will complain no matter what, might as well give us some footage.
Funny thing is, when they showed the charged attack to backstab thing in Bloodborne, my first reaction was "that's stupid, give me back the regular backstab", but then, when I went back to Dark Souls 1 PVP after playing Bloodborne for quite a while, I really, really missed the charged attacks setups.
Fuck lagstabs.

So far I have never seen a game that had no way around. Even Sonic 4 EP1 which was 720 locked on PC was given a 1080p fix by exe. I thought that would never happen.

Swirling goo enemy sounds awesome. I recall Miyazake talking about wanting enemies like that before but couldn't due to technical limitations on old consoles.
Getting very excited for this.

Part of what made the world of DkS2 feel so underwhelming, in my opinion.
Make me earn warping later in the game. I have to walk before I can appreciate my chocobo or my airship.
There are quite a bit already.
There is a BB thread for a reason.
time travel incoming
I agree, though I found DS2 Backstabs way too easy, but the Parrying in Dark Souls 2 makes no sense, Parrying window needs to be RIGHT before their weapon touches you like it was in DS1, I don't understand how anyone would want it to be earlier than that, it throws off everything.
So I'm glad I get Parrying back at least.

The real Dark Souls 2 starts here.
I probably won't even bother finishing DS2, I'll just try to finish DS1 and Bloodborne.

Someone mentionoed they're being ressurected, so it's not time travel as much as an apocalyptic event.
The eclipse brings them back, perhaps?
You should finish it. It's a fantastic game with some of the best stuff saved for last.
all I needed to hear.
Noticing some similarities with Berserk.
Gwyn = Griffith
The very first promo shot of Dark Souls 3 shows a melting sun while the world around our protagonist crumbles. (BERSERK SPOILERS)
/speculation
Yes, indeed, this game is already a GOTY contender.

Visually comparable to the Eclipse in Berserk, where Griffith ascends into a Great One, I mean an apostle to the God Hand. Before he ascends, Griffith is malnourished, withered, on the brink of death, and almost out of his mind. Even looks-wise he and Gwyn are similar.
Gwyn is gonna ascend into some super being and be the ultimate final boss, and you probably wont be able to parry him either, Super Gwyn is gonna fuck your shit up if you press that L2, son.

Only one game in the entire series has been 60fps. And it took the PC release and a rerelease to get to that framerate. Point is, 60fps is more of an irregualarity, so I wouldn't treat it as the norm.

Well, Dark Souls already had time travel, right? (Manus, Oolacile, Artorias was still alive, poor puppy Sif, Marvelous Chester and his top hat, etc.)
I'm wondering if this actually takes in-between DkS1 and 2. I'm also hoping they do something with Aldia since, well,
there is a reason he doesn't give any souls, right? He seems to be the only one who broke the cycle since not even the dragons could, you can farm dragon souls

All I needed to hear was dual wielding confirmed.
Best not be 30 fps capped on PC though.

The turtle killer? I use it all the time in PvP. More than I used the kick from Demon's and Dark Souls 1.

Well, in the actual game, I'd say Gwyndolin is much more like Griffith than Gwyn, but now that we now about the Lord of Cinders thing... Yeah.
If they're really using the God Hands though,
Gwyn and Vendrick are guaranteed to have their 2.0 version as bosses in this game, and most likely you'll become one of them, at least in one of the endings.
That would be quite neat.
Even if you don't 'finish' it properly, for the love of everything, at least go through the DLC areas. The levels there are some of the best the series has ever had, even outdoing Artorias in terms of quality (if not bosses, although they're still uniformly excellent minus 1 or 2).
For anyone who had doubts about the DkS2 team being involved - just look how much they improved with the DLC. They know what they got wrong and can absolutely construct a wonderfully interconnected world.
Yeah, okay. There's only a handful of titles out there with a rock solid, never wavering 30 or 60 framerate. You must not play a lot of games if that's the case.
this. Plus, make shortcuts feel like... well, shortcuts. If you can freely warp between bonfires, then "shortcuts" become almost meaningless, IMHO.
Haha I did the same thing! "Why is good looking armor and cloth physics a bad thing...?"
Then I realized it was a person /facepalm
sound really great. i like the tombstone idea if i understand it right. it can be used to mark areas that you have already visited? could be useful if we get something like a chalice dungeon style map.
im really excited for the game but i still think it is a little too early for the release.

This reminds me, why no plunging or kick attacks in Bloodborne?
This is sorta fun on the first playthrough. It's a major pain in the ass on every subsequent run.

DS1 parry and back stab! Nice. The ones in DS2 were disgusting.
I feel like I'm in the minority in preferring DS1's backstabs to DS2's. Smacking the enemy in the back before you do the backstab just seemed like an unnecessary extra step, and in my experience it never solved the problem of lagstabs.
E: I want confirmation that the agility stat isn't in the game!
