It warms my cold back heart that a series of games based around dying and living in multiple horrible ways as puppets of an uncaring universe, can bring people for jolly cooperation almost immediately.

I’m not well-versed on users here, but I remember that guy, solely for whom his username is named after.
 
Rollin’ and scratchin’ is what has been working for me. I assume there will be significantly more tightly-spaced areas where rolling is dangerous necessitating good shield usage or otherwise non-rolling methods, or at least increased environmental awareness.
 
I “practiced” a little against those giant dudes in the start area of… Tower of Flame or somethin’.

you’ll get used to it I think. I do tend to get loud sometimes, but I do enjoy these damn games a lot.. :p
 
as for tactics, you’ll get more varied as times go on, though I think you should’ve noticed by now different weapons having different movesets? stuff like attack types as Meanlucario mentioned, useful to know. Not paramount I’d say, but definitely useful, I think in the latter games this stuff is more of a small boost on damage.
 
one thing I’ll say is this, small shields, normal shields, large shields and greatshields. This is useful to know, because the shields are differently powerful.  
Small shields have a fast parry animation and greatshields have a lot of stability, to hold your guard. The other ones are trades and are usually for a tactic of going mixed in defense and attack, meaning you use a shield for some attacks, not all/most of them.
 
but for Dark Souls 2, I think power stancing is the main deal, something I admit I don’t quite understand how it works, so maybe look that up if you want. I think it’s unavoidable to have to read up on it, I don’t believe that the game has ever properly explained how it works.
 
 
Anyways, have fun in Heide’s Tower of the flame. it should be a fun initiation to the series. :p

maybe I’ve been on the PC modded version too much, but I don’t really get what people wanted when they said they wanted Dark Souls 1 updated to Dark Souls 3’s graphics engine.. except the cloth physics, that I understand.  
and this might be one hell of an unpopular opinion, but Dark Souls 1 looks actually better to me than Dark Souls 3 does.

also, Artorias’s restored armor looks nice.

Anyone feel like sharing favorite bosses from Dark Souls 3?  
Mine would be Champion Gundyr, Dancer of the Boreal Valley, Dragonslayer Armor and Demon Prince.

Man.. poor Iron Golem. Some people say Sif is sad, but as a boss, I think Iron Golem is way more pitiable.
