Yes

@Mikey
What a disappointing grandson.

@Mikey
it would seem a little one sided if it wasn’t, because strength right about now sounds really, really good..

@toxicitzi
Yeah, I feel like Dexterity will be that stat.

@Mikey
Oh yeah, moving away from vitality to strength makes a lot more sense for equip load.. honestly, that was a long, long time coming, this is the best way of doing this imo.

Now that this is done, it feels like they could still do much more here, like for example since Strength now has more to do with both heavy weapons, heavy armor and carry limit, Dexterity could mess somewhat with mobility/attack either movement, jumping, or even attacking animations.
They tried something similar like that with Dark Souls 1, but I think because it was never explained or shown in the stats, few people probably know it even exists.

@toxicitzi
Yeah, the combat looks like a culmination of the best parts of each game. There’s also a bit of Bloodborne in the fact that you can’t critical until you break poise.
I also like the streamlining of stats, no vitality, instead strength increases equip load. I like the checkpoint statues to get back to where you were faster after dying, the exploration looks solid.

@Mikey
ngl, the bamco video really didn’t do it for me.

I watched afterwards the IronPineapple cover and wow, they really left out a lot they could’ve shown..
We get Power stancing back, DS 1 poise is back with DS 3 backstabbing, meaning we won’t have the DS 1 poise + chain-backstabbing, there’s a lot of fleshed out stuff in regards to the horse combat that they should’ve shown in that gameplay video, magic seems a lot better too which is cool, same for faith. That IronPineapple video showed a lot of interesting things to do even in the first couple hours of the game.
That power stancing and if it’s really good, might be the reason I’m getting the game, because DS2 had it too and it was nice, but I don’t feel like it had the appropriate PvE challenges for it.

Now I’m thinking, if they nail the balance with build diversity, this is gonna be their best game in the series.. that’s the only thing I’m worried about is how they’re going to balance things out, especially for build variety.

@QuasarNova
Huh?

What you get in advanced?

@QuasarNova
Day one purchase for me.

Can’t wait to see how people play cuz busy with work

Might get it later down the line

Y’all ready for Elden Ring? I’m excited as hell.

@Ring Team
yeah, I still try some mods from time to time, DS3 is overall pretty sweet.

rn though, I’ve gotten back a bit in that MHW momentum.. ^^

@toxicitzi
Oh, I’m not saying this as a negative thing. When I say that my 7 hours felt like 1 or 2 hours, that’s a good thing, at least to me.

In fact, I’m having so much fun with the game. It’s amazing!

@Ring Team
I dunno about how short it’ll be, it’s pretty big and some bosses might take a good number of retries to get down.. ^^

but in any case, have fun

Yesterday I’ve bought Dark Souls III GOTY Edition. I’ve commented it in the videogame thread, but I think it’s appropiated here.
@Ring Team

I’ve played 7 hours and a half and it felt like I only played 1 or 2 hours. This game is so insane and I honestly feel it’s gonna be very short.

Still waiting for that Monster Hunter x Bloodborne crossover

@Meanlucario  
gotcha. simple and effective.
 
I liked to do this sorta thing more with quickstep and fast weapons, but that’s just what I got into lately with DS 3, I find the longer iFrames and longer distance covered helps a lot, plus the very fast in and out of combat that daggers provide helps keep that offensive up.
 
Although, I was fighting other bosses, I haven’t booted DS3 in a while too and my memory is foggy if I did that with Halflight.

@toxicitzi  
No upgreading and SL1. He used the same strat in both. And heavy attack for the stagger.

@Meanlucario  
Ymfah has a lot of videos, can you remind me which one that is? Was it the greatsword charged R2?

@Meanlucario  
Well, I shredded him with me LKS shrug
