That's why I'm scared. Dark Souls 2 brought some very good improvements that look like missing in DS3. For example, the instant backstab in DS1 is just wrong, while the one in DS2 ( requiring to hit before backstabbing ) is much better, since it helps preventing lagstabs and actually makes more sense in a realistic way.
Dark Souls ( 1 ) backstabs were like :
You:" Hey I'm behind you! "
Opponent: " Ok sir, I'm going to stay still while you backstab me during this animation "
But it often looked like
Y:" Hey, I'm behind you! "
O:" Ok sir, now I'm actually going to backstab you because lag "
