DARK SOULS III HYPE: 8 INVASIONS


 Invaded by dark spirit XxSweGBlzRYOLO420xX. 

One thing that I'm glad is never going away about Dark Souls is the random invasions. Having the risk of someone show up in your world just to ruin your day is half the danger of any souls play through. Without an element of surprise, without a human element, the game becomes boring after a while. The single player enemies become predictable, and everything that once shocked you becomes ingrained in your memory. Invasions need to happen, and getting bullied by people that are better than you is just part of your welcome to the souls community.

You can find a brief review of the beauty of inviting the human element into your world by making the choice to become human, below. But ultimately, the invasions of Dark Souls III should be the focus. It is unclear if you you can be invaded while you are hollow, but one video of a Dark Souls III random invasion on the Japanese client looked like an episode of WWE. The host had a pair of summons squaring off against a red phantom, and an invader that looked like some off shade of purple. The fight was fast paced, and chaotic, with a lot of similar animations to the original Dark Souls while textured like a copy of Bloodborne. It's exciting to be returning to a renovated version of a familiar ballpark, so hopefully some nostalgic content emerges from the community.


Keep in touch, because very soon, you'll be getting a post about Duels & Arenas; so keep posted and make sure to follow @SoulsHype on Twitter for updates on more advice to consider bringing to Dark Souls III.
