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!

not really Bloodborne had more content than all the other dark souls games. It has challice dungeons. Why should the world change another time if the game is pretty much over at this point in the game? what door youre talking about?

Should there really be hype though? It feels like another Souls fix.

Much less hype, probably because Bloodborne was this year and Dark Souls 2 was the year before.

One would guess it is becoming an annual franchise with the way it is going and that just ruins its charms.

Will still sell ok, but less than the others. As is the usual trend for sequels.

He's probably talking the door next to where you find the monocular, on the opposite way to the door that can be opened once you retreive the hunter handkerchief in the Hunter Dream after you defeat Cleric Beast.

I think it's in 2016, along with the game...

Not really, the game has much less in-game content than previous games... that's a known fact among the fanbase. And Chalice dungeons were the most disliked part of the game for most people, even if they weren't... you can't say their repetitiveness compensate the lack of substantial content.

Regarding the world's changes... well, after you destroy the source of the Nightmare of Mensis, one would expect it to, you know, at least it would change a bit.

Even feeling unpolished and a bit empty, Bloodborne is my favorite game from them tho (and I really liked DeS/DS/DSII).



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

Release dates:
Dark souls - 9/22/2011
Dark souls 2 - 3/11/2014
Dark souls 3 - 3/24/2016

Don't understand how ppl consider this an "annual franchise". And why would that be such a terrible thing? The souls games are unique, there's literally nothing else like them. They don't suffer from being rushed or get stagnant like other franchises.
O, and Bloodborne is not dark souls, dark souls is not bloodborne.

Bloodborne took the hype for now. And with a major expansion releasing this month it has all the hype. When people are done with that they'll have to see it they really want another game so soon and how souls 3 stands up.

It changes the hunters house it starts to burn. People dont like the chalice dungeons because they are ungratefull. If Fromsoftware would have shipped this game like it is and patched the chalice dungeons later or sold as DLC everyone would have kissed their feet for this huge amount of extra content.

Everything becomes repitive, beating the game over again is repetive, having chalice dungeons arent repitive if you have beaten the game like over 3 times. People just didnt liked that you needed to play them to get some random dropped rare runes and gems not avaible in the main game. I like the combat system in bloodborne as well which shouldnt make a difference where you fight because its also the same in both chalice dungeons and the main game
