The game was announced at this year's E3 and since then I've seen almost no discussion about except for a couple of threads about game's news.

Did they burn the series by releasing similar games almost every year (and expansions to extend the life of those games) and people are feeling tired of it? Is the game not looking innovating anymore? What's happening? I'm a bit puzzled since I know the game will be amazing and has a good following.

Even if I'm a fan, I admit that I'm a bit tired and won't buy BB's expansion to make DSIII feel more fresh, and I think they should sparse the releases a bit more to polish the games better. I know some people will disagree, but BB felt unpolished in some parts, the game felt a bit rushed/limited... as a prompt to open a door that could not be opened showcased. As the game had less places do explore, as some things were missing (like the nightmares don't changing even after you kill mergo's wet nurse/mergo himself. Don't come up with excuses, the world changed after you killed Rom, for example). Etc. I'm not saying the game is bad, in fact it is my personal GOTY, I just felt that they needed to work on the game some more and I fear for Dark Souls III a bit in this regard.

What do you think guys? I honestly want to hear your opinions!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'd be a lot more hype, but I haven't gotten around to beating Dark Souls II yet.

Believe me though, even though I'm focused on other games, I am looking forwards to Dark Souls III.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Bloodborne took all the hype from it I'm assuming.

The hype is exactly where the marketing budget is. Nowhere to be seen.

Don't care about DS3.

I will maybe get the game for 20 $, if i have time.



In the wastelands of post apocalyptic Boston atm. It exsists, but my mind is preoccupied for a while. =P

That made me laugh! haha

On a serious note: I'm not even seeing hype from "hardcore" fans. Hopefully it gets better early next year...

They seem to like churning out like for like games so that may explain it ...
