Will I Enjoy Elden Ring More Than DS3?
I want to start by emphasising that my introduction to souls/souls-likes was Lies of P, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and since then I had a blast beating Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, AI Limit, Lords of The Fallen (2023), however, I hadn't played actual souls games.
I picked up Dark Souls Remastered and had such an amazing time, which made me excited to play Dark Souls 3 but something just feels off. I get that the game is a couple years older than DS1 Remastered, but the camera feels off, the sensitivity options (keyboard & mouse) are horribly fast and changing DPI to be usable means then the mouse is super slow in menu/ options.. xbox controller prompts even though I'm on PC.. and while I am aware that input buffering was in DS1 as well, it did not feel quite so egregious as it does in DS3 for some reason. I have already had multiple times where I get hit and then it does a dodge-roll long afterwards when I'm not even pressing the spacebar anymore :/
Honestly, I feel like after such stellar experiences, that I am fighting the game more than the enemies/ bosses, and it's disappointing after being so excited.
Elden Ring looks amazing, especially in scope, but I'm worried if how many of these issues will transition over to ER as well, or are they more of a DS3 issue given that ER is a much newer game?
Appreciate any feedback also to make DS3 work better 😄
Update: I beat >!Abyss Watchers!< 8)
