Trying to hold off buying this cos I'm nearly halfway through bloodborne and loving/hating it. But it keeps looking at me every time I pop by my local game... It would be ridiculous trying to have souls and bloodborne on the go at the same time wouldn't it?

Yep I just stuck it on wishlist and it'll stay there till I get as far as I can with bloodborne. Good sensible advice!!

I've never heard of it.

Nobody on here done the Scorched Contract mod yet? Been watching Dist stream it and it looks both awesome and hard as fuck.

Watched the LobosJr run of it - very impressed.

Had fun ganking invaders with the Aussies today. Camouflaged myself as a tree in the deep root area past the crest, and used partner as bait. Once invaders ran past me, homing crystal soulmass. Gorgeous.

I am in Bohlreain Castle or something. I found the Bastard sword and then got utterly raped by a guy with red eyes and a spear in a narrow walkway. It's intense. I am playing aggressively and dying lots. So far my impression is you can tell it's old, but it's still great.

I keep rolling forwards into attacks and getting hit, i feel like dodging is waaaaaaaaaay easier in Dark Souls 3. I am actually having to plan where to roll here, i can't just spam roll. I haven't played much, life has got in the way. I am pretty terrified i haven't got the ability to level up yet, i am still in Bolheim Place (not even googling to find correct name as might be spoilers) or whatever and it feels a lot longer than Dark Souls tutorials. It's intense, rocking Bastard Sword with no armour, 50% health, every enemy is a threat especially the guys with fire. That red eye knight with the spear is a c*** but he's gotta be guarding some good treasure, right? I gotta get there.

The whole game is set in Boletaria so you’re good

Saved some posh bloke, now he is just wondering around aimlessly. Tempted to try kill him but he seems pretty tough.

When an enemy is nearly dead and you are close you can hear the heart thumping really fast, nice

Did not realise you could hurdle over low down obstacles! Fall damage seems very low

Phalanx dead! That was very fun, getting the hang of the combat with the broadsword now. 

Music in that cutscene about the monumental was fantastic.

I died lots in that first level so now i am going to go back and fuck them and harvest their little souls.

Guys, i love it. Finding it harder than Dark Souls so far.

Now i need to decide where to go, tempting to carry on in Boleteria, is that harder than doing the first level of the other worlds?

@Djornson: not harder imo. Each area has its own set of challenges. Experiment and enjoy It.

Umbasa.

I don’t think so, but I would be wrong. Might be bad luck - I find it’s not unusual for invasions to come along in multiples, then not have one for some time.

Presumably it's very busy at the moment. Just stay hollow most of the time.

I am finding Demon's Souls harder than any of the other Soulsbourne games so far. Perhaps i need to upgrade my weapon. Is Broadsword viable for the whole game? Longsword? Bastard Sword? I don't want to google as i will go down the rabbit hole of spoilers. I usually use greatswords but am enjoying the faster normal swords at the moment.

I used that up until last boss.

Was getting along just fine with Dark Souls 3 until Abyss Watchers. They just kicked my arse for an hour. Even had one of those excruciating 'one more hit and I've got the fucker' that ended in tears.

Thing is I've completed the first two games without summoning and don't really want to give in now.
