No hyperbole there, no sir!DS3 is legitimately so fucking bad I got this game as a free gift from a friend and I want to apologize to them.
How do you go from the 10/10 Dark Souls to this unbalanced piece of shit
Crossing Bloodborne off my to-play list if it's also a speedy dodge-rolling mess like this game
There is literally nothing in DS1 as hard as the bullshit enemies in the High Wall of Lothric. My Claymore (that I had to kill myself seven times to get) still takes two hits to kill basic enemies, and then we have those enemies that explore into reject Bloodborne monsters that do half your health like it's a boss battle but it isn't actually a boss battle
...Oh myThere is literally nothing in DS1 as hard as the bullshit enemies in the High Wall of Lothric.
There isn't, I'm sorry. I remember DS1 being WAAAAY more forgiving at the beginning and in fact that game overall is probably too easy in the first parts. But DS3 is just stupid hard and I hate the emphasis on speed and dodge-rolling...Oh my
I'm sorry but, are you seriously just struggling at the beginning of the game, and saying literally and... I just can't.
IMO DS1 is harder than DS3. you can roll through everything in DS3. Also DS1 enemies tend to turtle more.

DS1 is easier because you can get the Zwei and just murder everything by attacking through their poise and you do so much damage you kill them in at most three hits (where the first or second will stun them). It's why I prefer Ultra Greatswords the most of all the weapons. Upgrade them and get armor with poise and you can pretty much kill everything by mashing R1 three times
Meanwhile in DS3 every enemy attacks 30 times faster and all your weapons early on do absolutely nothing. And there's no poise, even with the armor that would have had it had they been in DS1
Ah, I think I understand now.And there's no poise, even with the armor that would have had it had they been in DS1
Father G really is one of the harder bosses in the game.Wow, I can't beat Father Gasgoine on NG+.
I've died to him 8 times now. His second phase is an absolute nightmare. he's far too aggressive.
It sounds like you got overly used to a single weapon that has incredible stun, and now you're struggling and claiming DS3 is imbalanced because it doesn't give it to you right away like DS1 does.DS1 is easier because you can get the Zwei and just murder everything by attacking through their poise and you do so much damage you kill them in at most three hits (where the first or second will stun them).

His second form's chain attacks encourage parrying (he's just swiping the air, so firing a shot from range is safe) and/or dodging in a way that makes him overshoot.
Good points.High wall of Lothric enemies:
Hollow w/ sword or knife - block and punish
Hollow w/ spear and shield - guard break kick or sidestep backstab
Hollow w/ great axe or halberd - roll behind and backstab
Pus of man - kill before transformation or stagger with firebombs, if you're out of bombs or have to dodge, roll towards and behind
Lothric knight w/ sword - parry second hit
Lothric knight w/ spear and greatshield (very annoying) - lunge attack can be sidestepped and backstabbed (but be wary of shield bash). When they walk sideways blocking, guard break w/ kick and riposte
There's an NPC summon that can help in the area with lots of Lothric knights.
Poise is different in DS3. Each attack has some, or no, hyperarmor and your poise will contribute to that hyperarmor. Generally slower, heavier weapons and attacks have the most hyperarmor. So you cant make a fast attacking, katana-wielding tank like in DS1. I believe great hammers have the most hyperarmor in DS3, so something like a 2 handed great club is great for tanking.
Some weapons like the mace sold by Greirat have a handy weapon art called Perseverance, which lets you briefly tank through anything. A raw infused mace is very good early on.
And even in DS1, most players won't find the zweihander right away since it's in a difficult area that most first-time players will not go very far into. I'm betting most first-time players who did use the zwei were told about it by someone else or used a guide... I mean I'm sure a few players stumbled upon it naturally, but I can't imagine it's most of them.If DS1 didn't give you the Zwei right away, you'd have to work through your first few areas weapons that don't stun that much until you find a weapon that suits your style, which is what DS3 is making you do.
Please explain to me how heavy armor and heavy weapons are supposed to be viable without Poise? Without the ability to:Ah, I think I understand now.
Yep, sorry, poise is now gone, you can't facetank your way to victory anymore. Which is a great thing, in my mind. Fuck poise, it can stay dead.
Please explain to me how heavy armor and heavy weapons are supposed to be viable without Poise? Without the ability to:
-tank hits to make up for your slow attacks
-hit enemies hard enough to stun them
these weapons and armor are now completely and utterly worthless.
The Knights in Lothric have a similar attack patterns to Balder Knights and Silver Knights in DS1, they have a combo that is easy to block the first attack and parry the second, so give that a try. They're good for farming shards early on too.There is literally nothing in DS1 as hard as the bullshit enemies in the High Wall of Lothric.

Heavy weapons can and do still stun enemies, but it's now harder to get their hits to land because like you said, it's harder to tank hits and still land your own.Please explain to me how heavy armor and heavy weapons are supposed to be viable without Poise? Without the ability to:

Use Borderless Gaming to play at borderless fullscreen perhaps?I installed DSIII onto a new laptop and every time I try to access the graphics settings in full screen it will crash to desktop... but it will work fine windowed, though it will happen again trying to switch to full. I can't fogur how to not make this happen, and given how simply going to the tab crashes the game I'd like to fix this rather than just setting them in windowed mode then changing it via GeForce Experience or manual editing to the config file. Any ideas?
Been trying to look into that. What are the best options? Playing at native resolution isn't what I want to do as its a 4K screen, and while it can stay above 30 there I'd like to play at a stable 60 for a new run.Use Borderless Gaming to play at borderless fullscreen perhaps?
It might depend on what you didn't like about DS1. The combat is a little faster but the basics are all the same.If I couldn't really get into Dark Souls 1, how high are the chances that I will like Darks Souls 3 more?
Oh, dear, another dogged contender.
The game gave me conniptions (huehuehue) but I enjoyed the hell out of it.
I'll miss this dump :(

113 hours according to the in-game timer. Farming the covenant items was the most time consuming part and defeating Nameless in NG+ and NG++ was pretty hard.

Depends on what you didn't like. DS3 is faster, more streamlined in level design, has some quality of life changes, looks better, and runs well on PC. Otherwise it has the same feel in terms of combat, the same bleak atmosphere, and a story that is still told in fragments.If I couldn't really get into Dark Souls 1, how high are the chances that I will like Darks Souls 3 more?
