I am doing a STRENGTH build again and I am using the great machete. Overall, the game frustrated the absolute fucking hell out of me, since I was slowly adapting to the new mechanics. The tutorial boss was incredibly evident of how the game was going to play out. One thing I heavily dislike about the game is how localized it is. There are only small sections that arent linked up, forcing you to use the fast travel system immediately, taking away from a lot of the awe of exploring Lordran. Not only that, bonfires themselves seem trivialized, with me finding one every few feet or a shortcut back to one I had just lit. It takes away from a lot of the tension and it seems like they supplemented that by just making the bosses/enemies more unpredictable. This is not me saying Dark Souls is a perfect game nor Dark Souls III is a bad game, but me saying that they removed the one thing that pulled me so hard into the original.You just named the two things about the game that disappointed me the most. In the end though ds3 is my favorite one in the series because although exploration is less meaningful the combat is very fun and varied, plus knowing the world well allows you to " " " sequence break " " " in a few places and ways that tie into pvp in a really cool way. Hopefully you'll learn to love it like I did and have a second online/embered playthough. It really puts everything into a completely new perspective.
Oh, like I said, I am not saying it's a bad game. I have 33 hours in it and I am on the Dancer right now. My skill is at the point where I first tried Pontiff, a boss everyone apparently has trouble with (and I could see why, jesus fucking christ my heart was pounding out of my chest after it was over). To put this in perspective, the Crystal Sage took me 22 times to beat. Also what the fuck was that bullshit, having to fight Aldrich twice. If I didn't beat him on my first try, the second fight, I would have been livid.
