Is it because Elden Ring's coming out pretty soon? Is it because the PVP in DS1 was essentially you griefing other players, and that's been lost in DS3 where invaders are heavily disadvantaged? Is it the faster pace and some don't like the DS/BB hybrid gameplay? Is it the linear world design? Or is it because it's too easy to be spam the circle/B button and it eventually becomes a "circle around your opponent, spam R1/RB and then a backstabbing simulator"?
I personally think DS3 is the most polished and fun to play. The combat and movement is the smoothest out of all the soulsbornes and re-specing and weapon arts are the greatest additions to the game. People seem to be most salty for: >The world is un-immersive, linear and uninspired >It's too easy to roll >Lack of poise in this game >Lack of build variety
I lurk a lotta DS threads and I always see these reasons. Now let's settle this, why is the final game the most hated recently?
The vocal contrarian minority on Yas Forums has been shitting on the game since release because it's popular and other people like it. When Elden Ring releases and it turns out to be good, this same minority will put DS3 on a pedestal and shit on any minor flaw/gripe they have with Elden Ring, with most not even having played it and essentially just parroting each other
Most Polished ? Sure Unchallanging and therefor most unrewarding ? Yep
Dont get me wrong, I like it for what its worth, like you said, a smooth experience to speed through
Also shitposting circle jerk kids lately found their joy in spamming these threads so take it with a grain of salt

Because it's soulless shovelware. 2 and 3 are shit.
Nolan Long
BB is the shittiest of them all though
Robert Barnes
It's because the complete version is on sale right now and there's a pandemic going on.
Luke Long
It's because the fire has faded for these Yas Forumsrgins.

>unchallenging But it has the hardest bosses in the series that are hard for the right reasons. DeS bosses are a meme, DaS1 bosses are complete pushovers for the most part save for maybe a couple in the DLC, DS2 bosses are a joke through and through, BB main game bosses are either complete steamrolls or mechanically borken bullshit, and DLC bosses are decently challenging but nowhere near DS3 DLC

>Is it the linear world design? This was always the thing I hated about it and makes replaying it an awful experience. I could see over time other people souring on it because of it.
Another major thing I keep seeing is the PVP. Some anons hate it altogether and want it removed entirely. Some like it but want it to be like the original Dark Souls where it was hard to not be a dick to hosts. They want the untargetable ring back, breaking your equipment etc. Some user told me >DS was never about faggy duels. I want to INVADE, not adhere to bowing and no estus chugging etc.
I can understand that if you played DS1 since originally the PVP was incredible different. It was hard to get the Red Eye Orb and the original DS was apeshit crazy with how you could fuck up hosts.
