1. Lore just seemed deeper. Each area was extremely memorable. When I heard anor londo I was excited until I actually got there. Ds2 polishes some of the combat an weapon variety/replay ablility is there Ds3 has fan service but a bit too much on the people part and not enough on the challenge. DS 3 isn't a stand alone game. It just shows a polish of what they learned. But nothing really unique this time around but weapon arts. Too many gimmick bosses. Ancient wyvern nuff said. The polish + being new is what has the poll as is. It's a nice sandwich but I'd rather take the chili cheese 1/2lb burger
