Dark Souls 3 is a great game. i believe it's the best in the trilogy. But your enjoyment of the game will heavily depend by whether you enjoy extremely difficut games.

How come? Albeit being an extremely awesome game, it felt the weaker for me from the trilogy.

Forza Motorsport is the best candidate for Microsoft to showcase their new console. I agree with most of you that it is better to wait, but I don't think Microsoft will miss this opportunity.

First of all i consider DS2 to be the weaker in the series. It was very obvious that it was made by a different director. It was a good game but it felt like a step back in level design.

I think DS3 refined a lot of the mechanics from the previous games, and it was very hard without being cheap. I feel that a lot of the difficulty from the original was a result of poor design. I was getting hit behind walls and during boss fights i was dying by hits that clearly missed.



They pulled the UIR packs from the shop. I never got my boomshot. I'm incredibly disappointed. 12 tries at 5 cards a piece means I had 60 cards to try to get this one card and I failed. They say they will put them up for a extended run after Christmas but we'll see. Either way I'm going back to hoarding credits and hope I can get it next time.



To be fair the old thread had some more off topic "spamming". Didn't get some warnings without a reason for that but sure, the old one was bigger with more users participating.

That's actually my biggest problem with DS3: it really felt like it made some massive step back in level design, among other questionable choices. Very linear in comparison to other games of the franchise, barely any non-main story related place to explore (by my count there's just four, with one being a blatantly reharshal of the prologue scenario, and the other being a blatantly copy/paste job from Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne), extremely uninspired places which include some lazy copy/paste from previous games on them, broken mechanics like Poise, and they couldn't even come up with a more original story scenario, as you're just being retold the events of Dark Souls 1, including the original lazy ending from it (though thankfully there are four total endings to choose from).

It probably feature the best sidequests in all Souls, though, and one of my favourite bosses from all the games, Twin Princes.

Some were banned, others quit because they considered the mod team at the time to be biased against Xbox, and others just dissappeared without giving a reason. The Xbox fanbase here on VGC is a shell of what it once was, there are maybe 20-30 of us left on the forums, and not all of them post here in XBE.

I've been following the Xbox thread since the start of the last one. It was crazy popular. I used to get all my gaming news, and talk from that sub forum. Sometimes it would get 400 or 500 posts in less than a day.
