The developers also just spent incredible amounts of time creating a massive volume of animations for every enemy in the game and every boss in the game. So whereas in DS1 or DS2, you wait until they do their 2-hit chain, the average enemy in DS3 will do their spastic 9-hit combo chain into the air at which point you will plink them, and then wait for them to do another 6 hit aerial chain with a spell that they cast at the end. It's just that all the enemies have mega uber hyper stamina and longer attack chains. When you get more used to all the animations, the game isn't actually that different from how DS1 and DS2 work. In the others, there are so few attack animations that everything is easy to memorize. There's just more of an emphasis around baiting specific attack animations with punish opportunities than in the other games. Almost every boss in DS1 and DS2 can just be rolled through while you trade hits with them, so that part of how things worked just didn't make sense for me. I didn't really understand how a lot of the bosses have 'punish' chains that make it so you don't want to get too close to them. The boss that I struggled the most with was Pontiff, if only because he has a number of attack chains that you can't really roll through. However, by the time I got further into DS3, I started to get a better grip of the animation timing and how everything worked. The animation style and combat was just so different from DS1 and DS2 that it put me off of it. I started off with a relatively negative impression of the game. I replayed DS1 when the remaster came out a couple years ago or so along with DS2, tried DS3 at that time, and then put it aside until recently. I beat DS3 yesterday for the first time including all DLCs. possibility to go to next NG cycle right from the first bonfire in shrine (after tutorial boss) enemies draw distance extended to be more realistic and pleasing for eyes NG+7 cycle balanced by buffing different armors, rings and weapons skills buffed rings (there are also rings that passively slowly restore FP and HP) new weapons and armors (they are replaced with vanilla weapons and armors I never used) a lot of new powerful weapon arts and different moves for some weapons 28 armors with unique powerful passives and buffed defenses (keep in mind most of them are designed for NG+7 so they are kinda OP in NG, there are also untouched vanilla armors to play on NG if you want more challenge) some enemies buffed including bosses (Yhorm is not puzzle fight anymore) more than 1000 enemies manually added and scattered around the world to boost the difficulty level Mod purpose is to make game significantly harder by adding a lot of enemies around the dark souls world, providing more build possibilities and balancing NG+7, new weapons and armors with brand new powerful skills and passives, better HUD and many more. But the devs probably thought it was okay cause no one would notice. So it doesn't make sense either, showing this is clearly another left-ovet part for some context that didn't make final game. I mean wut? Lords went without thrones a long time before this moment (in the past) and the pilgrims already had known that fact by then. P.S: notice the same intro shows the pilgrims approaching Lothric in Filianore Rest phase (the future) with the narration voice saying "in venturing north they found the truth of the old words: the lords go without thrones". This only proves the Souls series, as great as it is, has its share of holes, half baked bits and left-over parts that don't make sense together. Probably they didn't have time left, or simply found the imagery cool. Why they let the cinematic as that is beyond me. So, the intro was not originally about the LOC as we know it but about the player character. Not only that but apparently the LoC armor was the starting one of the Knight in that stage. So, the Lord of Cinder in the intro references that, a concept that was cut later in development. And that something similar happened to ds3,Īs there was this early concept in development where the player had the ability to create their own bonfires by dragging corpses to them and using the coiled sword. Then I remembered the story about DS2 intro having nothing to do whatsoever with final game and being a left over of a previous project concept. My first thought was that corpse was from another Ashen one, but since the bell just rang and the lords are away from their thrones, there shouldn't be any ashen ones on the kiln of first flame at this time. But If so, where is that, which corpse it is and why is he doing it? Have you ever asked yourselves what is Soul of Cinder doing in the intro? He seems to be dragging a corpse to a bonfire.
