For high level play, I prefer DkS1's backstabs. The problem, though, is that they became too prevalent in invasions. The counter backstab dance is only fun for so long. I hate the punchstab from DkS2. BB backstabs don't exist in any practical situation. DkS3's are less punishing than DkS1's. You'll whiff it a lot more.

Pivot backstabs aren't as bad because they are just so hard to get, but it's still sad to see it as such a jarring thing on both player's screens. Good video though, and I hope to see more content in the future, and hopefully we will fight someday on PS3 :)
First off, yes, backstabs have gotten a little ridiculous in Dark Souls. Demon Souls it was harder to pull off and quite frankly, I never even heard of the term "lag stab" until Dark Souls came out.
Backstabs are Dark Souls' main punish tool, but because of the way they work and the 'ease' they can be landed with,they have also become one of the game's main forms of offense. This means that if you ever want to get anywhere in PVP, you'll at least need to have a basic understanding of how to do and how to avoid them.
