Some quick and dirty playthrough uploads from last night. First time through, so its slow and methodical and just taking everything in. Well .. everything is slow except the combat lol, which takes you by surprise sometimes. So used to Souls games man. So used to having a moment to gather yourself usually. But in this game, enemies are viscious and fast and brutal
 
Stupid non-ww release dates, it's like being back in the dark ages of the 90's. Is there a consensus on on a character build for a player with no Soul's experience? I'm gonna give the game all the time in the world but wanna make it as relatively easy on myself as possible.
 
played about 3 hours, only beat first boss and progressed little bit. I died a lot in the beginning. Now I am getting hang of it and playing more carefully. I am really enjoying my experience so far.

Also my hand is constantly sweating..
 
Just complained a little to Amazon. Said they just got some more stock coming in and I should have an update on my CE edition soon. Gave me $10 for the trouble.
 
What do we think sales will be like on this? I have a tough time guessing since it seems so huge on GAF and stuff but outside the gaming community I don't know if people are really aware of this game.

What did Dark Souls sell?
 
Loving it more than DS2 for sure. Played for a few hours today and managed to make it past the first two bosses, albeit out of order. Super fun!
 
UK peps.

I am really really really worried that "The Game Collection" wont deliver my package on time !!
How are they with deliveries ?? Should I just cancel my pre order from them and go to the mid night launch ?

Not sure if anyone has resplied to your query, but they do seem very good for deliveries.
But you should check/ask in this thread, other people have ordered via them:

Hope this helps.
 
Ran into the second boss before the first.

Then the first surprised the hell out of me. Killed it, but still surprised me.

The cane is the best.
 
Sorry for not reading through the entire thread, but I just got the game early in the EU (Netherlands) but apparently the online functions are not available yet.

Any idea when guys? I want to start off co-op with my buddies.
 
ok so,i failed 2 bosses like 10 times in a row,switched to a diff start weapon and did them both on the first time = weapons matter a lot

Online should get activated in about 10ish hours
 
Stumbled upon B
lood starved beast
and backed out to cash some echoes. I am excited to see what this gem system offers later, they seem to be dropping like candy. Not really too worried about upgrading weapons, at least in these early stages upgrade mats are frequent enough (and seem to be farmable) to upgrade whatever weapons you want fairly comfortably.
 
so I hear this game is pretty gud guys

confirm/deny

It is very, very good. And about loading times, yes they are very long, but I personally found the atmosphere so oppressing that after dying I need a rest. Not saying that they couldn't be better, but if you like to take things calmed, this won't bother you too much. Weapons and animations are fantastic and the core Souls saga gameplay is there.
 
You guys are making being at work super hard for me, I WANT TO GO HOME AND DIE OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

So jelly right now.
 
So...just came home to start my download. Wasn't available yet before I went to work this morning.

That PSN download Speed is killing me though. Estimated over 3 hours for the initial 5 gigs. :/ Hope it gets faster so I can play when it's unlocked.(EU here btw.)


Also wtf @ over 100 pages already. O.o Was that you, Yoshi?
 
People are having trouble with the cane on the first boss? I beat it on my first attempt with it only +1

I don't get it, it wasn't that hard :/



Press L1 as you're throwing your 2nd or 3rd swing, and remember, use your pistol to counter

what starting class did you choose? I'm waffling between Lone Survivor, Military Veteran and Professional
 
Do we know the level restrictions for summoning? I might want to coop the second boss a few times before leveling up much more. That was a lot of fun. Hoping there's nothing silly like soul memory and it just works like Demons / Dark
 
Just complained a little to Amazon. Said they just got some more stock coming in and I should have an update on my CE edition soon. Gave me $10 for the trouble.

What's up with Amazon? I checked my email this morning and they just shipped my CE today with an expected arrival of Wednesday. Needless to say I am not pleased. Whatever happened to release day delivery?
 
I just learned about transforming weapons and randomly generated dungeons.

I AM HYPEEEEEEEEE

I don't know anything else about this game, gotta wait until Friday.
 
Welp. My game is out for delivery by Fed Ex. Of course they can't guarantee anything other than it'll be here by 8:00 PM, but I think I've decided to say fuck sleeping before class and just seeing if I get lucky and it gets here within the next 4 hours.

they have half their stock in today and are sending them out hopefully. My order is currently Processing and they've taken the money. Everyone i've talked to say they are excellent with release day delivery. If they pull through they'll be getting all my physical custom from now on.

OT: any PVP videos out in the wild yet?
 
My experience so far last night, mind I've played Both Darks and a bit of Demons.

- Pebbles are super useful, I would suggest any one who is new to the series use that for crowd control as I was able to clear the starting mob pretty efficiently going one to two at a time.

-The big guys are super weak to moltovs, could have saved me a death but whats a souls experience without learning through action?

-Atmosphere is amazing and the audio work on this game is completely ridiculous. The laughing citizens early on freaked me out for a good minute.

-I had an issue with peoples blood stains not spawing their phantoms did this happen to any one else? Not sure if this was just a bug or what.

I thought I was clever finding a shortcut through the sewers and got absolutely wrecked by some crazy ambush. What kills me the most is had I just stayed out of the sewer I would have unlocked the shortcut to the first boss and not lose 2000 BE. Welcome indeed.

Is the spreadsheet still available? I wanna add my name if I could or if someone could add me, psn is J-Chris88
 
Started off with the threaded cane. It was eating through mobs in its transformation mode (chain whip). Got to the boss and it was absolutely terrible for damage. Rolled a new character with the axe and loving it. The saw cleaver is probably the most balanced starting weapon but the axe just destroys everything. That transformation-extend L2 swipe is insane for clearing multiple enemies in one/two hits.
 
I got to the
machine gun guy and knocked him off the side with the shotgun, as some people suggested (and signs everywhere suggested). I thought it was like dark souls and he'd be dead, but apparently he's running around the ground level now. I tried to duel him and got my ass cleaned out. I'll have to come back later. if he's still there.
 
Should I keep my collector's edition wrapped and buy the vanilla version of the game to play? I did this with Demon's Soul game.
 
I'm torn when it comes to this game. On one hand, I really loved Demon's Souls and even got the platinum trophy for it. On the other hand I never got very far into Dark Souls, even though I tried repeatedly. I guess the gameplay changes never really did it for me.

It's been a long time since I played Demon's Souls and I would like to play something like it again. Would you recommend Bloodborne even though Dark Souls never tickled my fancy?
 
You're welcome to use whatever you find... even the doll, should it please you... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Pervert!
 
Wow the remote play controls are context sensitive (changes on the character creator). Also what a huge difference having a faster upload on my home broadband made. Went from 20mbps down 1up to 80down 20up. Currently on lunch break and connecting to my ps4 over the net, zero lag it feels like and no artifacts.
