No you are thinking of Dark Souls 2

That poise and armor and heavy weapons actually working in Dark Souls 3 instead of being useless fashion like in 2 makes them play differently than a lighter weapon and a shield.

You can trade health to use the right build and overpower the enemy, but you are certainly not just "going up to an enemy and pressing r1"

Nope, that's inane bullshit from a retarded DS2 fanboy
R1s from slower weapons have hyperarmor light weapons don't have. The myth of straight sword being OP is just some uneducated bullshit by idiots that never engaged with Dark Souls 3
On the contrary, while Dark Souls 3 does weapon balance in an excellent way, Dark Souls 2 fails at the basics
