It's funny, I put off playing the second game indefinitely because of a somewhat frustrating experience (most likely until I finish the third). Let's just say that after the remaster, I didn't really like the port, and some of the developers' design decisions seemed very questionable. Then, I got tilted by a random invader who just one-shotted me. I read about how Soul Memory works and came to the conclusion that such a system primarily benefits griefers. As a player who was experiencing the game for the first time and who was losing/spending these souls on unnecessary things, I had no chance at all; my "skill" didn't matter. I felt a strong sense of déjà vu from my experiences in various MMORPGs where high-level players ganked low-level players, and I decided, "Okay, I'll play it another time." I started playing the third game, and I haven't finished it yet, but I'll share my impressions so far. First, I was disgusted by the mechanics. I didn't like anything they did with the combat; it felt like the developers were trying to make the game "difficult" for the sake of difficulty, completely ignoring the authenticity that was present in the first game, for example. A third of the mobs can't be stunned by attacks, and almost all of their attacks are circular and have a huge hit box. But that's okay; what bothered me the most was the auto-targeting of their attacks. It's impossible to move out of the trajectory of their attacks, and the only options are to either rely on the i-frames of rolls or run as far away as possible. The peak of this absurdity, I realized when I understood that even crossbow bolts and arrows auto-target the player after being fired – that is, they change their trajectory in flight, like heat-seeking missiles, lol. Second, as Alex mentioned above, there's the issue with the NPCs. For me, they all feel like tasteless and pointless fan service. And third, the world looks too generic.
