316 hours of griting my teeth and dealing with the bugs poor design choice and a hell torrent of other problems waiting for a patch wasted. 70 dollars wasted. my sanity wasted. an xbox 306 controller wasted. my faith and dimps wasted. my faith in bandai namco wasted.
poor offline and online hit detection, AI controlled character only I frames, animation cancelling, stats and damage magnification, animation speed up and slowdown, animation priority, impossible verticle tracking, impossible input speed, repeditave unnessisary and intrusive mid battle cutscenes, poor online connectivity, poor preformance optimization, and outright refusal from the devs to aknowledge that there are any problems to the extent that they delete forum threads that point them out.

i want my money back. keep yours and never buy anything that has the names "bandainamco" or "dimps" ever again.

[revision- it has only gotten worse.]

updated my graphics drivers. now it runs perfectly.

cons- you cant map your own controls when using a controller.

--------------------------------------------

pros- everything else in the whole damn game.
if your computer can run it buy it. just make sure your graphics drivers are properly updated.

Old review.
========================================

the game finished downloading at 7PM. it is now 11PM i have been trying to fix it nonstop i have logged 57 minutes into the game just starting up the main menu and trying to make the first cutscene play at more than 2 fps it only drops to 6 or 2 fps in the main menu and in the actual game , the reason i think this is a bug and not my computer being too weak is that it ran 2 or 6 fps on ultra settings and on low settings it runs 2 or 6 fps with no change or inbetween it just picks one and stays there no matter what meanwhile i can run gta5 on ultra at 40 fps darksouls3 on ultra at 60 fps and modded fallout 4 on ultra with 30 fps. i tried turning on the vulkan setting now it wont start at all. . . i taste blood.

until i can fix this game and bethesda or id soft put out either a guide on how to fix it or a patch that fixes it i recommend you not purchase this game or you too may be trapped in 6 fps hell.

im not having fun.i never was.im dissapointed with this game. darksouls1 and 2 were fun but 3? no. i never feel like ive progressed, the map flow is terrable, you cant upgrade armor so you are spongey no matter what, the combat feels jagged and forced, getting souls to level up is always a hassle because nothing wants to drop over 1000 and its never worth the effort, the controls are unresponsive more often than any other souls game and sometimes just go off on their own doing things without your imput the new focus points system needs some major tweaking, the pvp is worse than ever now EVERY hit is a delayed hit, the effects of your stats are garbage especally scaling so you never do enough damage to reliably take down foes in your leveled area, ive encountered NO memorable characters or bosses unique to this game, they tore the story to pieced, and no matter how har i try i just cant get into the game. i said if darksouls3 had these problems i would be done with fromsoft and here we are so im done. darksouls4,bloodborn2,deamon's souls2 i dont care what they call it im not buying it. unless they make some major changes with the coming patches and dlc.

for those of you who have dont starve.
yes this is worth your money .
yes you will have fun.
yes the servers are stable.
no there is not a series of extreme issues with lag griefing and hackers like some other games out there. . . IM LOOKIN AT YOU DARKSOULS2 PVP!!!
dont starve together is all the fun of dont starve but "together"
for those of you who are new to dont starve i strongly recommend thet you get the single player version because although the community is friendly and you will have no issue finding a teacher it will ruin part of the game's expirience to jump straight into multiplayer.

you dont "play" darksouls. darksouls lays into you like a pack of starved wolves and you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ say thank you!

PVPrs DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!
THE PHANTOM RANGE AND WEAPON BALANCE GOT EVER WORSE THAN THE LAST GAME!

AND THE ADDED DIFFICULTY IS ARTIFICIAL NOT TRUE DIFFICULTY!

THE FIRST VERSION WAS BAD BUT NOT THIS BAD! AND THE GAME IS NOT WORTH THE NEW CONTENT! IT IS A WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME I AM GOING BACK TO DARKSOULS 2 OR DARKSOULS PPTD

you have been warned.

great graphics
good story that is not shoved in your face
gameplay that does not get stale easily
unforgiving difficulty that instills a great sence of perspective and accomplishment
. . .
i must have more
