Fighting the Crystal Lizard for the first time

Found this Shadowplay recording of me fighting the Crystal Lizard when the game first came out.

Hundreds of hours later it's easy to forget, but this game, and the other entries in the series, are really good about teaching you important lessons early on. Also, those Lizards are really forgiving with their attacks. Most of these dodges would be way to late for any of the more advanced enemies.
Dark Souls III might be the easiest of all Soulsborne games, but it's still not giving your everything on a silver platter. You still gotta git gud.

I'm gonna miss it :(

I think we all wish we could just go back to our first play through!

As someone who recently replayed the entire series it is not the easiest in my opinion. The difficulty of the first game did not age well for me.

I think DS3 feels easier because not only have veteran players got gud, but it has a more uniform difficult, forcing new players to git gud sooner.

DS1 and DS2 had more erratic difficult levels I think, and DS1 in particular had more gimmicks and surprises, making replaying it less challenging than replaying DS3, that directed its focus more towards combat mechanics. I still miss the variety of places and situations there was in DS1, even if it was less polished :(.
