In my experience, generally for a game coming out on a Tuesday..there is generally a good chance stock will arrive at stores the week prior (Thursday or Friday). Mom+Pop shops will sell it once it arrives, whereas the big chains (GameStop and...Gamestop) will sell it on release date.

I think he is doing it wrong. There has to be a gimmick to this one.
He's screwing it up.
He was hitting the wrong part of the boss. If the arm is a different color than the rest of the boss, hit it. But otherwise I thought the boss AI was terrible. Especially compared to how great some of the earlier boss fights are.

God dammit. Just watched some videos and seems the Euro versions of the normal steelbook are of the darker art as well.

It is, but very plain. Just that picture on the front side and then the back is all black and has the Bloodborne logo. Not an actual cover like that.

Edit: Nevermind he is now.

Good grief that Boss has a ton of health...
Good thing it's really slow.

Bought my copy today too. Can't wait to get home.
What is this "wait" thing you are talking about?

I love Pokken!
Maybe because some people don't care about that?

Because they can easily make a new character and start invading knowing more about the game than the majority of people?
I don't know, I wouldn't question why someone decides to play the game early or not, it is their decision to do so.

Yes. But with the proliferation of streaming and it being built into the new consoles, it's becoming a lot more obvious, I guess.
I picked up the game about an hour ago, just finished patching (2gigs and change). Not going to stream though because I'm too lazy to set up my capture card and I don't want to deal with the constant flagging/stopping of my stream due to haters.

I played DS2 day one in PC and I think the only invasions that I got were designed by the game. I don't believe in "pure" experiences, so yea the game should fun regardless of invasions.

any idea what insight does?
Can't believe he won the fight just doing that. One of the worst boss fights Ive seen in a Souls game yet. That can't be how they designed it to be killed.
For ringing the summons bell.

Perhaps that big glowing arm that took 134 damage per hit would be a good start :lol
Chalice Dungeon seems ripe for some DLC explo--oppurtunities.
I kid, I kid, From does DLC right
Honestly dissapointed that the game let him brute force it like that.

I think he was suppose to dodge backwards to let him hit the head and arms.

the legs and tail seem to have weaken with more blows, they eventually did recover like when the cleric beast can't be critically hit twice in a row without the red blood animation

Looks easier said than done though. That boss kept his arm and his head at an unreachable height most times.

I WANT!!
Man, this is taking way too long.. Monday night ( technically Tuesday morning ) CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!
I watched 3 bosses streamed so far.. I do not want to ruin the game but I NEED a fix...
Have it pre-ordered on PSN.. I'm tempted to go look for a copy and double dip.. Another $60 might be worth it.. Anyone with success on finding a early copy.. do you mind PMing me further details on where you found it?

I'm in the same boat as you. I live in SoCal and most the people streaming have gotten their copies from around here, no one wants to give up the locations though. Must be some sort of secret society or something

It's not what makes the games special for me. The multiplayer doesn't drive these games as much as they enhance the single player experience in a unique way. Each game so far has been designed to be enjoyed offline, with AI-controlled invaders, story-related invading opportunities, and scant messages sprinkled throughout the games. I expect they'll retain those design sensibilities for Bloodborne. I won't be playing the game until release day but even then the community aspect is sort of barren in the beginning, so you could make the same argument saying it's best to wait 2-3 weeks after release.

I don't think so. First couple hours you will die a decent amount but once you learn the mechanics you'll be set. Just play smart ! This is my first souls game and i'm starting to gain some confidence and rarely die now
Edit: I literally just died a minute after posting this.
I dunno, for me, the community aspect of dark souls was fully in place. I got invaded by humans, I saw tons of blood stains, tons of ghosts, etc. even if blood stains and ghosts and invasions don't seem to add a lot to things mechanically, it adds a lot to the feel -- the communal feel of the souls game. I wouldn't want to play it offline, especially not the first time. maybe that's just me. I saw it on the shelf and didn't buy it (after thinking for a minute).

Shit, was he banned?
Nah, just remember you're doing it for love.
Edit: Yep, he was banned, some clown in the chat said he reported him. Guess he did :|

I think Wingman just got the axe. Right when we were about to see a new boss too. UGh!
