First Impressions:

I'm only an hour in but I can already tell they've done a really good job. The mechanics feel just right; they've thankfully removed all the awful dopey features that were added in DS2. Very impressed with the appearance and style of the game. It feels/looks like a mix between Dark Souls and Bloodborne, with a couple spoonfuls …

DARK SOULS 3 COUNTDOWN!!!

If anyone sees this and is planning of playing Dark Souls 3: what kind of build do you think you'll try for your first playthrough? I'm guessing the gameplay will be a bit influenced by Bloodborne so perhaps a fast + light armour character would be the way to go. Otherwise you could try to …

DARK SOULS 3 COUNTDOWN!!!

If anyone sees this and is planning of playing Dark Souls 3: what kind of build do you think you'll try for your first playthrough? I'm guessing the gameplay will be a bit influenced by Bloodborne so perhaps a fast + light armour character would be the way to go. Otherwise you could try to build your favourite kind of character from one of the other 'souls games.

I was just reading this interview with Miyazaki, I found it funny the article states:

"...his game Dark Souls specifically related to the upcoming release of its follow-up, Dark Souls III."

It's funny how people are referring to Dark Souls 3 as the sequel to Dark Souls, almost as if already people are trying to sweep the painful memories of Dark Souls 2 under the rug, like a bad dream, pretend it never happened.

I bought it! Pre-ordered. I'm broke but it's more important than food I think. I never pre-order anything.. but I made an exception.

LobosJr released an hour of gameplay footage! I'm not watching it though, I don't want to know a thing. Can't wait, people are saying it's a return to the good old days of Dark Souls 1. <3

Dark Souls III is on the near horizon! March 24th, all platforms. I've been keeping up with it, I've seen some gameplay footage and peeked at some other stuff, it looks very exciting! The graphics and gameplay look closer to DS1 or Bloodborne. Perhaps From Software might redeem the franchise after the unspeakable abomination (DS2). There's even a firelink shrine! …
