    because it's a grey-brown hallway simulator that plays like a weird bloodborne hybrid but without the stuff that makes bloodborne good, it apes dark souls lore but without the cool parts and the nuance and is unfinished, missing most of what should have been the endgame while the bosses are all jumbled up in the wrong order.

    The plot is split between making epic references to Dark Souls 1 and telling you how much this world and franchise wants to die
    It's linear, most maps are not interesting and the enemy variety isn't too high. People slam Elden Ring for reusing enemies but DS III does the same thing
    Also build variety is bad, miracles suck, poise sucks, weapon arts suck
    They put all of their resources into Boss fights and while they are among the best in the series, the rest suffers heavily

    You can pos the cool scenic screenshots all you want, that's meaningless because all souls games already have that on top of being better games.

    It shifted the series from a "exploration" game to a boss rush.
    The best example of this is how every boss Arena in DS3 is basically a giant square/circle with no terrain when previous games had boss arenas that had environmental hazards (gargoyles had the danger of falling, centipede had lava) or interesting terrain (taurus demon had the tower behind the player making plunge attacks a options, capra demon had a small arena +plus the two dogs making space a real issue).
    They copied bloodborne enemies without giving the player the movement of bloodborne and doubled down on the "prepared to die" meme something that was never the main appeal of the series.

      I wish you stupid homosexuals would stop regurgitating MatthewMatosis.
      YES, difficulty was always an appeal of the franchise as far back as Demon's Souls. People liked that it was difficult. Later games have just had to up the ante in order to keep veterans engaged (which is a wonderful thing and unfortunately rare in the industry).

        legitimately have no idea who this is

        difficulty was an appeal but never the main focus. a majority of demon's bosses are gimmick/puzzle bosses, and the ones that aren't are very easy. "difficulty" was only a tiny portion of what made these games good and unique
        >Later games have just had to up the ante
        how can you say this when elden ring is significantly easier than the last few titles

        it's not flat, you can use the Z axis to your advantage
        >Sif
        >Flat area with no obstacle
        there's a grave you can use to your advantage as well as making sif jump up on the edges of the arena which are raised
        >Gwyn
        >Flat area with no obstacle
        there's an ash pillar which is a common way to get a safe heal in
        >Kalameth
        >Flat area with no obstacle
        it's specifically large enough to be able to fight him and get enough distance from even his largest fire breath attacks, it's perfect for fighting him

    Dark Souls 3 has a lot of individually good pieces of content (levels/bosses) but the way they're laid out sucks. The exploration is much less satisfying because of the world design, mostly drab environments, and constant teleporting, compared to Dark Souls, and even Dark Souls 2. Then Sekiro and Elden Ring took all of Dark Souls 3's good qualities and brought back proper exploration, so now it feels kinda redundant. Still worth playing if you're going through the franchise for the first time but it's not all that memorable.

    Still the only game in the series that feels like it wasn't rushed or had a shitload of cut content. For that reason it's the best.

    Sure. If you ignore teleporting dogs, weapons going through the walls, graphical glitches, copa/pasted Bloodborne textures, and basically, the entire game. Then yes, it has ''quality''.

    It is a corridor, but I still got stuck and couldn't find a way forward. Got bored and never played it again.
    Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are ok. The rest, including Bloodborne are bad games. I guess you need the option of going somewhere else even if it would be too difficult to.
