dark souls 3 leaks

[mdk]

Nevermind the obnoxious commentary.

[Awson]

Interesting. Sounds... fine.

Also, I would bet that their source is their own people.

The Know is a part of Rooster Teeth, who are hosting the YouTube coverage of E3.

They find out about Dark Souls 3 early -> "Anonymously" give it to their struggling news channel -> $$$

XCOM 2, Dark Souls 3, Fallout 4...

I love it!

[Halo]

I got about 20 seconds in before I couldn't take the commentators anymore. Holy shit, they're annoying.

[Frizan]

Maybe this one won't suck.

Maybe.

Maybe.

@Frizan

As if Dark Souls 2 sucked.

I hated Dark Souls.

The setting and world and design of some creatures was just... not very interesting to me.

But I'm sure the games are good. But when a game doesn't catch my imagination with its setting and characters, I usually don't like it.

The setting and characters are rather interesting BUT they're introduced in a totally unique way. Like.... there are no books, movies, plays, or whatever capable of telling a story the way the Souls series does. The lore is like crazy deep and you don't get to experience any of it unless you dig way deep. It's there -- but you have to work for it.

It's great. Instead of having an NPC stand outside Blighttown and tell you "Hey, watch out, the villagers all left because this area has PLAGUE and it's a bleak situation!" It just kicks you into Blighttown and you fucking learn. Want to know what's up with those giant spider-lady hybrids? Hope you brought your sleuthing hat. It's so cool.

@mdk

I'm not talking about that.

Play a game made by a western developer, then play a game made by eastern developers. They're different, right?

Wherever that get their inspirations from, visualizations, and concepts, I'm simply not a fan of.

[mdk]

fair enough.

@TJByrum

So then you don’t like the traditional fantasy setting, correct? But there’s so much more there, so many unique enemies and environments. How far did you get?

@Marik

I wouldn't classify it as a setting, rather the inspiration from which the game designers are drawing from.

In Dark Souls 2, I got to this part. Whether that's considered far or not doesn't matter, I saw enough of the game.

On a good note, however, I enjoyed the near-intimate knowledge of the game required to play it. Some of the mystery involved in specific items, correct strategies to fight specific enemies, and the forced cautious-like approach to the gameplay made it something new and exciting to play.

I'm not sure if this is a good way to explain it, but when I play racing games I only like playing street racing games. Games where you're on some closed circuit at some official race track never really interested me, despite the two having exact controls and gameplay.
