I am new to doing big reviews, I will try my best.
Sorry for an incorrect spellings &/or poor grammar.
I first played Dark Souls 3 In 2016 couple of months after release.
Some friends mentioned how difficult the game is, some gave up, some got good.
So I went out and brought it for the PlayStation 4.
I decided to stream it, I think I was expecting to be sort of good at it?
I was wrong...
So, I create my character spending around 20 minutes doing so.
He looked cool, I liked it.
I think I chose the Knight class at the time.
So, I get up out my grave walk down the path, check tutorial messages.
Kill my first enemy, gained confidence.
Miss a few details, I am now at the Ravenous Crystal Lizard.
I die,
Over...
And Over..
Again, I die.
So, I thought. What am I doing wrong!? Games an issue, its not me.
Yush it was me.
So I actually learned his attacks, when to dodge and managed to kill him.
I am at the 2 hour mark at this point and have not even arrived at the first bonfire.
I get to the bonfire, light it, sit, try out my new emote and I feel good.
I kill all the grave wardens, grab the firebombs, jump to the coffin grab that Item.
Now I am walking down towards Iudex Gundyr.
I have no idea who he is at this time, what his name was.
I pulled the sword out, I did not move (I wish I started swinging attacks whilst hes getting up)
He stands up, swings at me and I get hit.
I run away, use Estus flask, run back, Oh wait no, hes right behind me.
I get hit and sent off the edge.
I go back, failed attempt again I die.
I think I died around 10-15 times.
Now remember I am streaming. A family member is watching me die over and over, he is motivating me, It helped alot.
But in the end, I could not Git Gud.
I quit.
Went on Fallout 4 PC, spoke to Preston, on my way to a settlement that needs help.
A month later.
I thought about going back on, so I did.
Made a new character, forgot where I left off and got through the first area in around 30 minutes, less than the two hours before haha.
Killed the Crystal creature second try.
I am now at Iudex Gundyr.
This time I am not streaming. I'm not a streamer, just did it for a group of friends that literally watched me die over and over.
This times a lil different.
I realise, don't get hit lol
I won't lose health if I don't get hit, what a genius.
I try slashing Iudex whilst he's standing up and I see blood, slashing sounds, good sign.
when he finally stands, I see he lost health from that, I am happy.
Fire bombed him at second stage.
Ill just round it up to an estimate of 5 times I died to him the second time I came back from a rage quit a month later.
So, the Starved Hound scared me.
Sword Master brutally murdered me, I lost my Ember.
I go back to Sword Master, Die, Die, Die.
Yup you can tell I have serious issues with learning at least something about the moveset of the enemy, be patient.
Nah, games never taught me that.
This is what made me fall in love with Dark Souls.
I played Bloodborne after my playthrough on Dark Souls 3, that went actually well considering DS3 Basically trained me.
So, I am now in High Wall of Lothric.
I die so much, fail at almost everything, I end up with a game time of 20 hours... Seriously.
I just could not get my head around the move set, stay patient, the right stats, weapons.
Its like through my life of gaming, Dark Souls 3 actually taught me something.
My favourite location in Dark Souls 3, Undead Settlement.
Everything about it, just perfect.
So beautiful yet so terrifying, I loved it.
This is the area I decided to "Git Gud"
Stay back, roll when need to, learn every enemy's move set before committing to an attack.
Don't go crazy with attacking.
Just take a damn breather, give myself space, lure them out if needs be.
Why was it that every enemy I see, I charged in like I am literally the Dragonborne.
Well, I am gonna one two miss a few in this review.
Nameless King ended me a few times.
I could not figure out how to escape Aldrich's arrow attack, until I did.
Crystal Sage, yup chase the purple one, one hit the fakes.
Mimic's fail at Mimicking a chests chain.
My PS4 Playthrough ended with NG+7.
Few achievements missing, Items from covenants needed.
Now were gonna do a little bit more of a jump in the future.
I buy Dark Souls 3 on sale PC 2021 December & grab all the DLC.
I am NG+11,
Stops scaling at 7+, probably gonna start again in the future.
WHAT, I say my friend WHAT, is that Concord Kept grind?
Vertabrae Shackle.
UH, I did it.
All of them.
I wanted the Achievements, all of them.
And I got them.
Everything else, yes great, fun.
I did it all Offline.
I loved PVP on PS4, the amount of hours I spent in Arena & Anor Londo invading & summoning mad spirits, red soapstones placed.
I probably spent 10 hours of the 170 at review time in PVP on PC.
The moment I learned about the hack sending players into NG+, gaining access to files.
Big nope.
So I researched If I could get all the covenant items offline, and committed to it.
All Achievements unlocked now finally.
I have done all of Bloodborne.
I completed all parts of Dark Souls 2 Sotfs, just need grind NPC for Covenant items/spells.
Dark Souls 1 Remastered is what I am currently playing, I love it.
Dark Souls really opened up my eyes to gaming, especially on a game that to me was difficult.
I started a No Hit Run, managed to get as far as Nameless King.
No armour needed, idea is to not get hit.
Fashion didn't bother me when attempting this run.
Ancient Wyvern, Nameless kings pet did its fire thing at the ground, I should have ran out of the way but I was a second too late.
I love the Drakeblood Armour set paired with the Farron Keep Helm.
Plenty more armour sets I like as well.
Do I recommend Dark Souls 3?
Well, I had never played a Souls game ever before starting DS3 for the first time.
I got deep into it.
Loved every second of it. Well, the dying got me at the start, but I appreciate it now.
The dying taught me to not do that.
I recommend Dark Souls 3,
I love this game.
After this review I am on a mission to 100% Dark Souls Remastered, Then SOTFS.
Thank you so much for reading :)
I really appreciate you.
I hope if you decide to buy this game, you forgive me for the spoilers I dropped.
And also I hope you have a blissful playthrough, that brightens your life.
F it, I wish you well in life either way.
:)
Edit:
Thank you all so much for the Awards, likes.
You are all so amazing, I am very great full
Did not expect this O_O
For anyone interested (probably not), I may stream bits of my SOTFS run through for 100% achievement.
I'm hoping to do this on TikTok, somehow...
But if not, will be the YouTubes. "JiggleBikeRiddle" Is the name.
Thank you all again, you are all amazing :)
I wish you all a fantastic playthrough.
Dark Souls and other Soul like (Bloodborne and stuffs) Will always be in my heart, till the day I am nought but an empty shell.
