+ Kicking is improved, you can guard break and riposte off kicks + DS1-style "instant" estus healing, chugging allowed + DS1-style parrying, but you can only parry with small shields (buckler, target, small leather shield, NOT kite shield, other medium shields, etc) + DS1-style stamina, running/sprinting cheap, battle actions very costly + DS1-style movement, "DS3 feels like an awesome DS1 DLC" + Poise-break seemed similar to DS1, but enemies had extreme hyper-armor (my note: this contradicts Fextralife's impression that all the enemies stagger easily, maybe a change in the version of the game played?) + Backstabs are instant, but you must be directly behind enemy, window is extremely narrow, no stabbing from the sides/45-degree angle + Knife tracks really tightly and flies fast, tracks strafers but not runners, you MUST react to knives in pvp to dodge them, can hit dogs running around with knives + DS1-style freethrowing of knives and firebombs back, can throw firebomb at your feet to catch roll-backstabbers + No access to inventory/stats menus, only settings menu Knights will move differently when equipped with different weapons.

The Axe on the other hand, has a Battle Cry of sorts (I think it is called “War Cry“ that seems to stun nearby enemies and is instantly cast. The Longsword for example, you have to hold L2 or you cannot use it, and while holding L2 you can’t block, heal, etc. We’ve been following the status of the Dark Souls PC servers since the RCE exploit had surfaced, up until Bandai Namco went radio silent in each of these articles.Something to note about is that you have to hold L2 to use some of them and others preform an action instantly when pressed. Could you imagine if this happened to the console version of the same games? What’s happened so far Sadly, it feels as if the PC is being treated as if it doesn’t matter. With the servers offline, the ability to coop, invasions, and PVP are completely removed.
