I know I might get stick for this, but I'm not even that hyped for this game. I've pre-ordered it on a whim because games from Miayazki have been so accomplished and well received in the past, not to mention the sentiment around this game seems to be just as positive. Guess I'll see what all the fuss is about. Certainly intrigued to play a more challenging game, since games these days tend to be far too easy. I realised that one of the reasons I enjoy Driveclub more is because it's somewhat more difficult than racers typically are.

Fucking YES!!!!!!

Did you play Dark Souls before?

Sweet. I hope this comes out relatively soon though before I am finished with it.
 
Pre-Load of this game is completed! Now to find a way to pass the time for the next 2 or 3 hours lol...

Should be a fun spring break :-)
 
Did you play Dark Souls before?

Only in brief snippets at friends and cousins. Never properly played it through myself. This isn't the style or genre of game I usually go for. Though I did used to be a big fan of the DmC, NG, GOW, Bayonetta style games. This seems far more slower paced and more RPG like in consideration.
 
I think I'm just going to pick up the physical copy of the game in the morning.

What are the sizes of the patches I have to download? Probably going to add a lot of waiting time before I can start...
 
Anyone else planning on going heavy into Arcane? I don't know how bad I'm going to screw up my character, but I want to see what happens. :-p

Yeah, thats the kind of crazy thing I do. There don't appear to be any spells? I'll make an arcane character!

EDIT: I should mention that I get that arcane helps with buffs and weapons scaling stuff

I wasn't all that hyped until I started watching streams. I've mentioned before that I had a lot of issues with the design of Demon's, the only other Souls game I've played, but loved the core combat and atmosphere. This seems to focus on those best aspects while making the other areas less obtuse. A fellow gaffer sent me PSN money for my birthday since he knew I was on the fence and wanted me to give the game a shot.
 
You're better of leveling the one with the highest grade, in your case the C. Eventually, by upgrading (if it's like Souls), that C will become a B, and perhaps even an A after furthee upgrading it. The massive increase in damage will be much more noticable with every "letter".

You probably shouldn't ignore the highest, but arcane might end up a special case.
There are also
gems
that can be
socketed to improve scaling

The one it scales highest with is the best. Mods might help out those that scale lower but whatever it scales highest with by default will cause most damage.


So when a weapon has a C in Bloodtinge, D in skill, and D in Str it is not suggesting : level up Bloodtinge, Str, and skill but focus more on Bloodtinge it is saying focus on Bloodtinge, nothing else matters really?

plz respond ;)

So I should not be concerned if a weapon scaling stat seems to encompass multiple stats, it is only the highest one that matters? So quality builds will probably only focus on one stat and vitality and stamina?
 
hmm online mode is up, but I cant use the beckoning bell :( it just doesn't work...just makes an error sound

oddly enough when I tried to use the beckoning bell yesterday in offline mode it actually let me use it.... but did nothing

Where did you get the bell!?

By the time I actually get to the title this patch will be out so sweet for me. Shame that the load times will negatively impact the scores though.
 
Do you have backup controllers? You do have a history of violence with them and these games.
I only have a single DS4... didn't really think that through.
