Dark Souls 3 is no longer fun.

[L1teral Canc3r]

I'm not sure what happened (and by that I mean I know exactly what happened), but about halfway through this game I just stop having fun. Early game is awesome. Enemies are tough, but fair and combat is incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. Then sometime around Lothric Castle the game shifts from that classic Souls feel back to Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Game. The encounters become less imaginative and the enemy placement makes less sense the farther you get. The fight mechanics also seem to take a turn for the worse. Death begins to feel like less operator error and more cheap fight mechanics that are difficult to predict at best. It's to the point where I no longer look forward to playing the game at all. I still make progress, but find less and less enjoyment and satisfaction out of doing so. Anybody else running into this?

It was never fun

How did the enemy placement make less sense around Lothric Castle? Also SotFS actually fixed most of the ganks.

Lothric Castle I was dissapointed with, no new enemies just more powerful guys from the first area, not too much to explore and just in general not too much fun.
End-game was the most dissapointing to me as it just lacked that 'feel' when you enter a new area. Lothric Castle just felt like part two of High Wall of Lothric and that may be what they were going for, but overall the lack of enemies is very annoying. Grand Archeives fixes this a bit, but trust me you will want to kill the Sage as fast as you can, until it's dead they will fling spells at you from out of your reach while you try to progress, which can be VERY annoying. They dont respawn so that's kinda nice.

I also like how DS2 did durability. That was great.

The weapons broke a little too fast for my tastes but at least it gave you a reason to use repair powder. In das3 they don't even have a need.

Lothric Castle could have admittedly used more new enemies but it makes sense considering lore-wise it's all the same castle.

I actually really liked Dragonslayer Armor myself. End-game had good bosses (Dancer, Twin Princes, Soul of Cinder, Nameless King) but the areas aside Grand Archeives seemed very uninspired.

"A little too fast".

It does make sense if you think about it though. I mean it's just another part of the same castle.

It can only be bought infinitely 9/10 into the game. DS2 durability was by far the worst bug in the series. If you dared hit a wall or dead enemy then you could kiss goodbye to your weapon. And forget about fighting Sinh.

But still I dont mind if it was just another type of hollow or knight, but they are all the except for the greatsword knights. Almost every enemy you see is from the first area with the exact same weapon and armor.
