'Dark Souls 3' Game News: Game Satisfies Bandai Namco and Gamers Alike
The release of "Dark Souls 3" in the global market has made another history for Bandai Namco as the game has reportedly become the company's fastest selling game of all time. While it is true that the game has raked in lots of money for the company, its release is a win-win situation for both its publisher and gamers as "Dark Souls 3" has also had the gamers raving about it.
"Dark Souls 3" is the final chapter of a series of games that is notorious for its third-person action game developed by Japanese studio FromSoftware. The first game was released in 2011 following its prequel, "Demon's Souls."
In the "Dark Souls" games, players need to battle the undead enemies as they quest to restore their lost humanity. The series have been known for its deadly traps and unguarded enemy attacks. Hence, it is important for a player to practice a lot as the game comes with punishing difficulty levels.
However, with "Dark Souls 3," one doesn't need to have the experience playing its predecessors for him to enjoy the game, although a prior "Souls" experience can enable one to play better because of the references of the older games included in the game.
According to Strait Times, playing "Dark Souls 3" is not as difficult as its predecessors, at least, in the early part of the game, as basic mechanics of the game, such as weapons upgrade, are explained. Additionally, the game contains more Bonfires, which act as save points.
Graphics of the game has incredibly improved, too, that it's almost impossible for any gamer to go back to playing previous "Dark Souls" games. The combat in the game has also improved impressively, too, as compared to previous "Dark Souls" as they are faster. A player also no longer needs to update his armor as he can use different ones and not only limiting his choice to one that needs to be upgraded.
Although the game has four endings, the favorite of many players is a complicated one, which may be difficult to achieve sans the presence of an online guide.
While it is true that the uniqueness of the series' gameplay is no longer present, "Dark Souls 3" has clearly become a new favorite of the gamers, thanks to its many new engaging improvements in many of its aspects.
