Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
It's not broken or anything just some frame rate issues in certain areas and some enemies with wider attack arcs seem to have a bit more aggressive hit box vs the player.

I mostly noticed the frame rate hit in irithyll, not sure about other areas.

The entire game was a steady 30fps for me the first time through. Midgame has gone to complete shit performance-wise on my second playthrough.
Who said anything about missing content and trying to breeze through the game? If anything, I am playing this quite slowly trying to explore. And the game is objectively easier early on than DS1. I mean, I remember Blighttown (NEVER FORGET), the frogs halving your hps with curse and a million jumping deaths, I've seen none of that shit so far in DS3. DS1 actively trolled you and wanted to frustrate you, here it's a much smoother experience which I prefer, maybe a tad too easy.
You said it.
As for the experience, all that stuff is in game. Perhaps not in the very first area you hit but the game does a decent job of incrementally increasing the difficulty. Even lulling you into a false sense of security. I know I got caught with the weak poison and running through an area without issue only to get nailed when mobs started using toxic and not catching the difference until the bar filled and killed me. Bleed is also quite nasty. Curse as well.
These games aren't new anymore, so veteran players obviously will have an easier time playing through the game than new players. The first areas can still kill you quite easily but the more elaborate stuff comes in the mid part of the game which makes sense as most games tend to ramp up difficulty as things progress.
I find DS3 to have a decent difficulty curve. Early areas are on the easier side but can still kill you, later areas can be pretty difficult if you don't just run through them.

Nah in DS3 they are level 1 with all stats at 10. I actually think deprived is an easy starting class because those first 10-12 levels cost less souls than other classes starting at SL 10+

Starting at 10 in every stat is also a huge buff, actually, because with a minimal investment, you can do a little bit of everything, without hurting yourself overly much when you start investing in just a few core stats to min/max.
Its an interesting system that I quite like, honestly.
If you think the club sucks you should try the dagger the sorc starts with. Talk about terrible.
Either way, the starting "class" doesn't mean shit. Its all about how those starting stats fit into your build or if the class starts with a weapon / shield / armor you might want. You can play a knight from start to finish and never get a single upgrade because their starting gear (sword especially as raw) is about as good as it gets or close enough that it really doesn't matter PVE wise.
Deprived is no harder than any of the other classes unless you can't do the first mobs without getting hit. Which if that is the case you're pretty fucked for this game.

Do you have an SSD? I don't, and I feel like my only hiccups are when the game is auto saving or loading a new area. I assume because of shitty read and write speeds.
Well they also start with only a loin cloth which means with no armor you're basically taking 30% more damage per hit until you get something equipped.

I'd link it but it's lost. The guy updates every few months with his progress and it's humbling. Lot of support for him. I asked if he was brain damaged and I felt bad.

Torn on this game. Got frustrated as fuck with ds2 when I played the remake on ps4 and never finished it. Moved on to other stuff. But have a new video card and this looks new and pretty. I get the sense though that I wouldn't like this one either if I couldn't even finish ds2.
Pleb casual.

Dark Souls is Dark Souls. If you enjoyed but didn't beat 2, that's fine. You'll enjoy and (possibly) not beat 3. But if you didn't enjoy and it felt like you were just beating your head against a wall? Stay away from all 'Souls games. Simple as that, really.
DS3 is really fun imo. I haven't had much time to play it since school is ramping towards finals for me, but what I've seen I've definitely liked. And I really wish I didn't become used to cutlass attack speed/range, because trying to use other items is a stark contrast now~

I've only had trouble with one boss, nameless King. Fuck that fight, the first phase is really easy but takes awhile.
Just beat final boss, was hoping for something a bit more. He was pretty easy. I've pretty much been using raw Astoria straight sword the whole game
