Dark Souls 3

Anyone playing this? So far, I've been having a lot of fun. It seems to be quite a bit faster paced than Dark Souls 2, but still slower than Bloodborne. The weapon system is fairly deep, and there are a whole bunch of great options to choose from. My current weapon of choice is the trusty Claymore. Not all that far in the game yet, but here's a video of me killing some giant enemy crabs.

I'm not very far into the game myself, but I was delighted to find that my weapon and shield of choice, the Estoc and the Target Shield, from the first game were immediately available if I picked the assassin class at character creation.

So I've been playing through the game as a fabulous fencing gentleman so far. When I get the chance I plan on learning pyromancy as well, as I did that in the first game too and had a blast throwing fireballs around as a backup plan if I couldn't duel anything down with swordplay.

Yeah! I started out as thief as well! I just kinda wish I didn't have all those extra points in luck, as it doesn't seem to be as neat of a stat as I was hoping it would be...

Haven't played ANY of the Dark Souls yet, but I've been meaning to. Any recommendations on which one I should start with?

I started with Dark Souls 2, and it was a blast. Movement is a bit slower paced than in the other games, but this does not make it easier/shallower than the other games. I suggest this first because...I'm very biased. I haven't actually played Dark Souls 1 or Demon Souls yet, but I will definitely play them after I finish 3 and Bloodborne.

DS2 is known for being more linear than DS1, but this is probably a good thing for new players. I personally did not feel the linear progression was in any way a bad thing. Gameplay was awesome, so was the world, atmosphere, and overall design. I'm sure you'll have a blast! If you need any tips, help, or just want to discuss, I'd be happy to chat! I wish you luck on your Souls journey. It's going to be amazing.
