No you wouldn't like it. Combat is what makes Souls what it is, as redoing areas you fail. Why would you want to play a game where you dislike what you're going to be doing most of the game? What intrigues you about the Souls series?

I can only speak for myself, but I would have liked DS more if you didn't have to redo large areas so frequently. I didn't have any issue with the combat other than that it was a bit too hard, which led to redoing large areas.
still loving it
Man, I cant remember all those places that had
barriers
gauntlet upgrade
I'd love to know that too. I ended up just leaving the area and continuing on because I couldn't find what they were on about.yo, why do I keep giving potions to ppl? >_>
gave to the, nowguardsthey want me to get rid of some demon to clear the way, ive cleared the place and they still won go, what am I looking for?
Loving it 3 bosses in, can't wait to continue tonight.
i figured that out btw,
its one of those multi armed guys that spawned in the early rooms (where you pressed the switches initially)
just found a secret in the very first room of the game, but it leads to a...locked door >_>
Oh right thanks. I dunno whether I can be bothered going back through the catacombs for a third time just yet so hopefully they stick around.

Man, I need ONE more
, ugh I dont even know where I should start looking.
I guess this might be spoiler-ish so ill tag it just incase, but
human skull
I guess this might be spoiler-ish so ill tag it just incase, but
something i havent really seen mentioned is how new enemies start spawning in old areas as u progress further and further, and some are permanent while others are much tougher and wont spawn again. Really cool stuff.
I found a lot of skull in the catacombs. I cleared the demon realm before, so I had to go back to the NPC.
if you get the skull cheevo does that mean you got them all? cause I got it
edit: I keep finding secrets and I cant fully access (eventually leads to locked doors and whatnot) and it drives me nuts. After you go in the

I picked deception because I figure mimic would he a nice dps enhancer. I just started the pathway. Also I think I skipped over two sides quests.
The one where Yet asks for a dagger, and the 3 symbols for the monk.
guys, how can I see on the xbox if the update was installed with the game on the xbox one?
Started the game with a rogue. got my ass kicked and changed it to a sword fighter.
Just finished the first boss,
so far, it is really nice.good atmosphere, the music is good. the voice acting is not the worst I have ever heard. it is mediocre. some of the audio logs you can find are even good!
no tearing, a few slow downs, no bugs so far.
right now it is a 8/10 for me.
ps4 is 1080p xbox one is 900p. besides that we know nothing.

Playing PS4 version here. I've made it past the 3rd Lord (which became quite easy to beat once I learned his patterns). The game is providing a decent challenge, I'm playing as a rouge, no shield, no magic and STILL using the entry level daggers. I'm having quite a few bugs/glitches though.. not just frame drops and tearing, but often times weird freezes/lockups. One lockup lasted about 45 seconds until the game snapped back to life. My biggest complaint so far is the camera position in tight spaces while fighting, drives me nuts. Overall though, playing as a dagger weilding rouge is providing a fun playthrough (granted I haven't made it very far though.. only 6 hours in).

Finally my game is here and installing, can't play it until tonight.
Is the included DLC game breaking? sometimes I like to start a game without any extras and return later to use them.

I got that sword too, dunno if its a 100% drop. Using the monk staff though, I like the speed of the weapon.
Started as a warrior but now Im wearing the Cleric armor and the staff for dat faster roll.
Im just at the 2nd boss but I liked what I played yesterday.

Oh, what the hell, went out and bought it. Can't be a bigger letdown than The Evil Within, and I'm not expecting the world so hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised.
No, I got the trophy for finding the skulls before I found all of them.
Also, I suggest everyone do whatever side-quests you have before killing the Annihilator because a couple of them will be unavailable afterwords. I couldn't finish one of them. :/

This is exactly how I feel. Unfortunately it ruins most of what I love about Souls. I read some Souls vets talk about enjoying this game more once they packed on some heavy armor and traded blows instead trying to not get hit all the time, and even though I went in thinking maybe they were exaggerating, I ended up agreeing with them completely. The combat just isn't tuned well for light armor players and it mainly comes down to enemy attack animation recovery and shield hitboxes.
This game is super easy with heavy armor and cheap and poorly tuned for light armor. That said, it's still fun, and I plan to do a light armor only run at some point. This game is in desperate need of bows I think.
Gauntlet projectile can at least whittle them down a bit. Shields don't seem to block it.
Sprint plus L1 to knock their guard down then get a hit.

Not game breaking at all, the weapons pack items have like 1 extra point of damage. I never touched them as I found a better weapon right away. They just look cool, that's all.

At fourth boss, Infiltrator, and still loving it! There are so many secrets around! I have no idea how I'm able to open all the chests and doors, my OCD is kicking in and I can't continue further! 
Great game. And no, I haven't played much of those Souls games, but rest assured that I'll hop to Bloodborne day 1.

haha awesome. I was thinking about swinging at him after I got that shield for the same reason that he was obnoxious and annoying. "KRUHOKGHHRRK!!!!".... shut up.
Ok so i am at the 4th boss (i might have gone the wrong way but its the
. ) But i do like ZERO damage. Im a "strength build" wearing medium armor. I am using the Polearm i believe. Its a 2 handed only weapon that requires 12 strength.
But i dont understand why my damage is so low on the bosses. It is definitely quite the challenge, but i feel like i am doing something wrong.
Any tips?

I was like at 20 strength when I took on that boss, simply for the sake of being able to use a stronger weapon. I would maybe level up a little.
The more I play, the more I love it.
- Great challenge with many different enemies to master
- Long and engaging boss battles
- The feeling of venturing out to far and danger lurking around every corner
- Wonderfully dark atmosphere and intertwining world design like the Souls series
- Meaty gameplay with a fun timing mechanic for combos with each weapon type
- It can look gorgeous and has great gear

Was able to get around an hour of play time in on the xbox one version.
Frame rate is all over the place, feels like i'm playing ocarina of time with it's 24 fps limit.
The combat is rather nice, I have never played a souls game and only seen them so I can't compare, though weapons like the staff are way OP at this point of the game, multiple quick hits and high damage values? why would I choose to use anything else.

Pro tip I found out yesterday which I havnt seen posted. Upgrade your projectile gauntlet with a poison ruin. Its awesome. Even with the "lesser" crappy ruin I put on it, it eats down enemies health real quick(some more than others). I have found it to be very effective for certain enemies.
Ah, noted. As someone who loves poison/rotten arrows in the Souls series, I will definitely be making use of this.

Brawler Warrior. I'm quite new to Souls games as well and I'm having a blast with that combo.
Warrior for sure, but you can wear any gear or use any weapons you want. Don't skip investing some points into faith, though, because some of the warrior magic is a life saver.
Omg found an awesome secret for the Heirloom hammer found in the catacombs.
When you reach the area of the Catacombs called ''The Mines'' soon after you enter the zone there's a small room you can enter on the left with a coffin. You can put the hammer on it and it'll boost the weapon dramaticly. 10 faith req, 120 damage. 30 magical damage in all magical school besides poison.

Decided to head back after the grave yard boss, and realized I missed a few things. So many locked doors though, it's infuriating. >< also can't tell if I missed my chance to do two side quests.

The evade button has negative edge, if you hold it down you are going to run and if you let it go you will roll. You need to tap the roll button and make sure you are not accidently holding it to long.
Well I turned off Turbulence and it didn't help at all lol, the game still crashes and I didn't even get an FPS boost like at all.
The game doesn't crash too often, but often enough for me to lose my shit lol, I'm on the grave yard boss right now with my Rogue and I'm totally getting my shit kicked in.
It's hilarious how shit I'm at this game considering that I beat Dark Souls 2 on SL1......
