Picking this up tonight. Out of curiousity - I see a lot of impressions and reviews from the press drive home how iterative and 'more Dark Souls' it is (in a bad way, depending on the outlet). Do people here share the same sentiment, for better or worse?
I skipped on DS2 and didn't play Bloodborne for long, so I feel like I won't have the same fatigue as some people seem to be having.

I don't particularly want to be, but I haven't been invaded by a player yet, is there a reason for that?
You can only be invaded in ember form.
It's more of the same, won't change your mind if you don't like the series. But I think it's the best one.
Make sure you are online and have the MM on in DS3 Settings, I had it off in my settings.
Obviously this too
You can only get invaded when you are an Ember. So after a boss, before you've died, unless you use the ember item.

It is choppy on PC too with no appearent reason. 60 FPS with dips to the mid 50s (my PC is far more powerful than recommended)
Wow, that is very interesting, and a pretty big bug.

Not sure what's happening when pressing L2 with the first katana?
And are there items to be found when destroying things BB style?

You can only use dpad in the menus regardless of what controller you use. It's been that way since demon's

played the game for 25 mins before having to return it due to it running like crap on my GTX 750 1GB.
Overall i liked what i played though, got to the
. Although the halberd is pointy like dark souls, and not a cool swingy/pointy weapon like in dark souls 2.

Firebombs work wonders on them.
Also, I found success hugging their big 'arm'. Much easier to dodge and strafe around.
fuck you piece of shit
went 2handed because I realised I wasnt blocking at all I was just dodging anyway, its amazing how 4 games in I still make the same mistake >_>
anyway, can finally move on lol
tree of doom, burn all the trees in the world down!

Game plays pretty well although a bit too fast at times. Really gives the illusion that some of these mid-size Knight enemies have unlimited stamina. Apart from that, combat here is far more enjoyable than DS2 despite still having the same "JUST THROW ALL THE ENEMIES AT THEM AT ONCE" philosophy that game had. I wish some of that would scale for co-op but it doesn't.

Eh? Dodging has always been my first option. What is your weight at?
I practiced my parry timing on a lothric knight while farming for his set/sword. The timing is definitely very strict and feels like you want to do it at the last instant. I could consistently get him by waiting for a certain swing that I knew he'd follow up with a second swing and then parry the second (this is how I used to parry silver knights in DS1). I could do it pretty consistently after a while but yeah it's not gonna be an easy mode parryfest. More like just something to easily handle an enemy that you're familiar with and can predict.
but, but, i need my poke!
I am contributing to the wikidot wiki for this game (http://darksouls3.wikidot.com/) because while the Fextra life one is more filled out, it is a terrible experience to browse, and totally overflowing with ad trackers.
What r u casualreally? >_>
Parrying is so hard for me in this game. Was just replaying ds before this released, and it was so easy. Guess ima just have to die a lot practicing the timings. lol
you find an item at the start of the following area in and give it to him
also god damn invasions still all 3 on 1 like when I was playing the JPN version. who are all these dang people who co-op and with 2+ people at that?
smh
I just bum rush them before they get a chance to
mutate
You before you encounter the first
Demon souls female fat official you will see a loot on a hinged body from the building you were in after the second bonefire there. loot it, read description and then give it to the thief.
You're either dodging too late, or too soon. Some moves have wind ups and tracking.
She is a bit before tree boss. Around the fire pit area with the exploding barrels and the big magic mace fucker praying
You'll find an item related to the
lady in Undead Settlement near the burning tree with the witch and a ton of zombies
lol I figured that's what I was doing and adjusted my timing. Started to dodge into him like BB and strafe him. First boss defeated!

Dodging feels more or less like DS1. I found it way easier to not lock on to this boss.So much better dodging than DS2, I almost wept with joy. Plus I got a shock when I kicked an enemy and got a front riposte, it plays much better than in DS2 since the bash was so awkward, thank god for kicks!
It took me 3 tries to kill the first boss, once I stopped using the mutli-hit R2 with the club which was just leaving me wide open, looks great though - hope to find some uses for it before I get a better weapon. Glad to say I could ditch my plank sield very quickly after the tutorial area boss. Time for some parry practice.

The very first one right? Keep close and dodge into him when he does a swing. He will generally miss you and you can get 2-3 hits in.

Yeah I modified their layout to make it like the one I use for dark souls 1. I have the triggers as light attacks and the grips as heavy attacks because I hate the bumpers on the steam controller. Also changed the dpad to only work with click as it was to sensitive.
I changed the edge spin speed on the right pad and radius as well.
the problem is the steam controller sucks period
When you don't take time to set it up and get used to it, sure. Great after you adjust to the touch pad.
Also this. But thats because you can still move with the stick while in menus in most of the games, not sure if you can in dark souls 3. But if you want there is a seperate controller layout for when you are in the menu, you can change that to make the left stick a d-pad and you should be able to navigate the menus with the stick that way.

I'll give these a go. Unfortunately it seems I've already cleared the area though other than a
