  • Totally. Though after seeing some gameplay today, I have some reservations. So from the initially leaked images through to the actual gameplay footage today, it looked like Bloodborne. That's a good thing aesthetically, BB was gorgeous and played great except for some occasional frame rate drops. However, after seeing the game in action and hearing the first hand accounts of the demo. It appears that it really is Dark Souls shoehorned into BB's engine/toolkit. Sword Arts use a resource that is essentially just BB's quicksilver bullet supply. That means spells are probably going to work similarly to BB's Hunter Tools and as such, there will be no easy mode caster classes. Shields are looking super awkward. With some being able to parry, some not and there was a total lack of poise. The hands on players said everything that hit your shield staggered you. From what I recall Miyazaki saying at E3, the game is done. So while we are seeing alpha builds in this demo. The core functionality of the game is going to stay the same. I am disappointed at the Bloodbornification of Dark Souls 3, but it will still be an amazing game. The general consensus was that it was not like Dark Souls 2 at all. But rather more like Dark Souls 1, with elements of Demon's Souls and Bloodborne. All in all, I'm hyped, but slightly saddened by the more streamlined approach. *throws money at the screen while shoveling ice cream in crying face* P.S. This might mean we will get some features of Bloodborne in DaS3 though, like Chalice Dungeons.
