[quote]I found it easier than last years Bloodborne. The linear level design, an overabundance of bonfire's lessened the difficulty, magic bosses were a joke. Bloodborne felt like an evolution of the souls series. I feel DS3 took a few steps backwards, wasn't as good as Miyazaki's original masterpiece. Bloodborne had a better PvE experience with intricate level design, art style, soundtrack, awesome combat. Dark Souls 3 shines in PvP, has more variety with builds, weapon skills are an awesome addition.[/quote] Really i felt bloodborne was easier in pve until the dlc. Art style, soundtrack and combat are subjective. Magic bosses have always been a joke, need i remind you of pinwheel? I dont think dark souks 3 is overly linear, it opens up decently in the latter half. Then again i also think that dark souls 1 world was great until the later half both in level design and the last bosses were easy. Lost izalith was a travesty and houses the only boss miyazaki has apologized for. Nito and seath were also easy as hell. Gywn is only hard if you dont parry, something shared with pontiff.
