What was your final construct in Dark Souls 3? I’m keen on axes myself, although I’ve had plenty of success in transferring to whopping big greatswords as of late. For my subsequent run, although, I believe I’m gonna strive one thing new – blapping my manner via Lothric with a sawn-off, filling each undead goon...
The most difficult part of any Dark Souls game isn’t battling monsters or navigating trap-ridden environments—it’s choosing how to play. I can’t tell you how many times I agonized over which skill to level up next, or before that, which character class to start as. There’s no shortage of numbers to parse, and subtle differences between...
Dark Souls 3 doesn’t come out for another two weeks in most of the world, but it’s been out since March 24 in Japan. That means speedrunners have already descended upon it, and they’ve gotten really good. While our reviewer James has already put 50+ hours into it over the last couple of weeks (you can read...
Dark Souls games are difficult, yes, but they’re also amazing horror games, albeit with a dark fantasy veneer. The trailer above isn’t necessarily in keeping with the ‘spirit’ of Dark Souls 3, but it’s thoroughly enjoyable to imagine Miyazaki’s world as a straight-to-video B-grade horror film. Oh, and there are some grief glimpses of gameplay footage...
Good news, Dark Souls fans: Dark Souls 3 is a dense, challenging game. But for those who are new to the series, this might be an intimidating portent. Dark Souls is notoriously difficult to get into; plenty of players who would definitely love it instead press their face to the glass and long for the...
In just two weeks, Dark Souls 3 arrives on western shores bringing with it the series-standard bucket-load of blood and gore and death and cursing at the fact that you got the last boss down to just a sliver of health before she spewed molten lava all over you and you were forced to start again. Hey, deep breath, it...
Dark Souls 3 is out. Well, it’s out in Japan. We’ve had review code for a few days now, but Bandai Namco has asked that we don’t release our review of the international version until April 4th. In the meantime, we have permission to talk about the earlier parts of the game. Within 15 hours of...
Dark Souls 3 releases in Japan tomorrow. If you need to live vicariously until it comes our way on April 12, the Japanese launch trailer is out—in English, helpfully. There are a number of new and properly monstrous enemies on show. Miyazaki must have been dredging the darkest trenches of his mind to come up with this...
I’ve been resisting the urge to watch videos or read previews of Dark Souls 3, as I feel I ruined the previous games slightly by soaking up every bit of pre-release info I possibly could. YouTube thumbnails/video titles and tweets have made sure I can’t remain unspoiled entirely, but thankfully I’m still largely in the dark about...
Have you heard that Dark Souls 3 will be locked to 30 fps on the PC? Well forget that! Seriously, forget it. Because it’s wrong. Forget what you’ve heard. #DarkSouls3 will run at 60 FPS on PC! https://t.co/h8O21GTxR8 — Dark Souls (@DarkSoulsGame) March 10, 2016 And that’s really all there is to it. I’m not...
