I don't know what Microsoft's updates are doing, but the OG Xbox 360 version is beyond fucked up now. The Blightown Mosquitoes are legit flying through the floor and walls and agroing from ranges i've never seen before.

i think i've seen something like this before when i was playing on ps3—maybe not so much going through floors and walls, but definitely the wide aggro ranges

thought it was normal

I mean yeah I already knew they had huge aggro ranges by default but this time a couple came up from the ground level (The ones that attack you when you leave the bonfire room) and stunlocked me to hell while I was dealing with the dart throwers.

It's so odd how these days patches are making some games buggier somehow rather than fixing them.

The name of my character in Dark Souls 3 is Dark Souls.

Is he the Dark Souls of playable characters though?

Yes, he’s stuck in the second level because he’s too lazy to go fight the boss.

To be fair, early game Dark Souls 3 kinda sucks. It's a slog to get through but it does get better early on.

I think those same ones used to aggro to the top of the waterwheel. The range on those things has always been ridiculous.

As much as I hate 3 I think High Wall is alright. I prefer it's one decently made route to the two (technically 3) awful ones SoTFS offers.
-Forrest of Fallen Giants is slow and boring due to the general Dark Souls 2 design philosophies
-Heide's Tower is either just an even slower series of 1v1s that will probably break your weapon before you finish or just gets skipped and cheesed for easy souls.
-You have to jump through hoops to access the well and this route leads to the worst """boss""" in the entire game (not counting the DLC) and then the Gutter.

When you start the game up, it doesn't ask you if you want to play online. It just logs you in automatically.

big, big point loss there—had it actually asked me, it would've solved my #1 biggest problem with the game

Are we pretending now that Dark Souls Remasted's online experience isn't even more of a complete shitshow than the original?

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Wrong

Sure, you'll throw it in, but your reasoning has been explained over and over again and I haven't heard you complain about the netcode once.

The netcode is shit btw.

Yeah, that's straight up bugged. A lot of that other shit is due to the atrocious netcode that they neglected to fix.

Almost three bosses in, so here's some quick thoughts on my online experience so far:

I still hate messages. They're absolutely everywhere, and they only serve three functions: to help, to mislead, or to meme. Memes are, 99% of the time, an unfunny waste of my time that takes me completely out of what otherwise would've been an immersive experience. Helpful hints are very unnecessary and for casual babies only. All they do is spoil the game for you, which is really fucking lame. The ones that mislead you are cunty and people who write them should be shot, even if it's super obvious.

I understand what they're going for. Not knowing whether a message is going to be truthful creates an interesting little dynamic, but if you're a smart player, you'll know that the best option, every single time, is to simply ignore them and play the game your way, because there's always a chance you'll just be misled. The rating system doesn't help, either. It's true that higher-rated messages are more likely to be of use, but all this means is that the game's solutions more likely to be spoiled for you.

Take messages like "illusory wall ahead." If they're right, they just spoiled the location of an illusory wall for you. Wouldn't it have been so much cooler to find that one out on your own? That's a negative. If they're lying, it doesn't really hinder you at all. You just stab a wall and nothing happens. That's a neutral. A negative plus a neutral equals a negative. This is a bad mechanic.

There are two things I like about messages: the fact that they're created using a limited selection of words and canned terms, rather than letting you type in whatever you want. I understand that this is where a lot of the humor in the memes comes from. Being able to say something juvenile becomes all the funnier knowing you have to work it out through the limitations of the writing system, which forces you to be a cunning linguist. The problem is, people aren't creative about it. The same old jokes and memes get posted up all over the place, and it's just not that funny anymore. But with that being said, I'm willing now to concede that these jokes may have been funny at one point. I still dislike that they break your immersion, though, and for all the praise that the game's immersive atmosphere gets, I have never seen anyone bring up how hard messages tend to shatter it.

The other thing I like is that you can rate them. I have no use for the upvote, but I do get a smug satisfaction out of downvoting every stupid meme message that I see. It does my heart good to know that I can actually do my part in changing Lordran for the better. Just wait until I join my favorite covenant.

Thing #2: Bloodstains. I hate them. They're absolutely everywhere, and I just don't care about them. I don't care how some random person died. I guess it's supposed to make me cautious, or something, because if I see a lot of bloodstains everywhere, I suppose that's my cue to prepare myself. But when I played offline, it's not like the game wasn't teaching me to be cautious on its own. Why the fuck does it think I need all these, then? Again, all they do is ruin my immersion and make everything look messy.

Last thing: At first, I thought it was kind of neat how you get to hear the Bell of Awakening getting rung every single time some other person online rings it (or at least, I assume that's what's happening). It's the sound of a bunch of new players overcoming their first truly difficult obstacle in the game, which is strangely uplifting, and it's cool knowing that your own accomplishments will literally be heard across the world. However... it does get pretty annoying after a while, because it's a constant thing, and you hear it all over the place. It could just be because the game is still brand new on Switch, though, so hopefully over the course of the game's lifespan, I'll start hearing it less.

I haven't been invaded yet, and I will not be doing any invading myself, because I'm just not that kind of person. I also won't be doing any summoning, because I don't need it, but I'm not opposed to being summoned myself.

Other weird things have been happening lately that I can't explain: on two or three occasions, a strange ball of light appeared out of nowhere near my character, which gave me an extra swig of Estus.

Later, as I was going up the elevator from Firelink to the Parish, this message appeared: "Disasters are gone after the defeat of the Gravelord Servant." Nothing happened after this. Minutes later, the message appeared again. Still nothing happened. So, uh, I'm not sure what's going on with that.
