This is making my wait for the PC version easier. Quick, someone tell me that the frame rate is garbage on the console versions!

From what Im seeing its not bad the chat says its hovering around 20 but doesnt look like that to me.
I think before they let you switch to release date delivery but now they want you to cancel the order and then place the order with release date delivery. Even with prime they don't let you do it anymore. Maybe I remembering incorrectly but I vaguely remember being able to change it before. The most they can do through support is select overnight delivery if you made the order before RDD was added to the game.

mmm not sure: I always felt that the online component (the proper one, not the one based on fight clubs or arenas) is an integral part of the Dark Souls experience, in factIs anyone else going to solo every boss?
I'm glad invasions in Dark Souls 2 can happen even if you're not full human
I'm watching a stream of the 360 version and the frame-rate looks sub-30 even with no v-sync.
fuck no
that sucks. There were no major diferences between 360 and PS3 in DS1 if Im not mistaken.
Didnt FROM promised a 30fps costantly?

At least that makes the wait for the PC version a little easier.

Yeah, this stream settles it.

Its not "another game" its every game really or at least a incredibly large portion. Every game is out a week or so early since distributors have to have it now to ship to all the stores so someone scoops one from there and boom its on the web.

No you're not mistaken the differences between the two version in DaS were minor, Namco did a good job with the 360 port...it's surprising to see the in-house developed DaS2 performing like this.
Oh well I guess I'll cancel my 360 pre-order for now and play this on my PS3, if the frame-rate gets better with a patch (which I doubt but you never know) I'll get the 360 version somewhere down the line.
I dont think that they specifically said that but yeah they promised that the frame-rate will be better this time around.

Doesnt really change anything, probably didnt want to futz with settings he already had in his capture software.

I just found it funny that he mentioned it in the stream title. As if it's a plus point to attract people. He's a new streamer too (at least the account is) and changing 60 to 30 is hardly something difficult.

Not to be a smartass, but I don't remember any FROMSOFTWARE game that managed to keep a steady 30fps. I'm not sure if even 3D Dot Heroes managed to do it, although I don't really recall noticing it, but all of their other games, the Souls series and Armored Core (specially)... you can certainly notice frame drops on those.
This is a post for the spoiler thread dude.

Wow, huge variety of gear this time around. Not sure how it compares to the previous Souls games but it certainly feels like there's more gear to go around. I've already seen more than a few armors in particular that are quite appealing to me.
Dat last helmet on the third row... yummy.
wonder if this is going to be like splinter cell and the PS3 version has the WAY less tearing.
ALSO, is the version the guy playing in the stream even legit? Because the 360 version has completely leaked to the webs.
Which means he would be playing 100% off the HDD and this could be a GTA V thing all over again.

I wasn't questioning if they had said it, but I do question their ability to make that true. Regardless, this is the game I'm most excited to play this year.
Must... resist...

This is excellent [serpent voices are spot-on] but I can imagine still pretty hard to follow if you haven't played the game haha.
If i cannot guarantee something I dont promise that. But developer easily forget that.

That's Japanese professionals for you, dedicated and earnest in spirit. Even when they fail, you know their intentions were honest so it's hard to take it against them.
I need not tell you.
Search your feelings. You will know it to be true.
PC version all the way!

I will solo the bosses. I have gave in many times and pleaded for help. No not this time. I will not give in so easily.

I keep jumping into this thread even though I intend to purchase on PC, but all this hype is really eroding my willpower. I should be able to finish up my Dark Souls run this weekend and then I will lose myself in Demon's Souls (if I play it offline I can probably get full black and white WT in one play through). That should hopefully take enough time to see me to the PC release.

I will either observe other people defeating the bosses on Youtube or summon someone.
On most of my first playthrough I relied on help, but on the expansion I saw a video of the Artorias fight, memorised the moveset and defeated him in one try. On my second playthrough it took me about 6 attempts to defeat Artorias again. I guess I was inspired the first time I fought him.
On Dark Souls 2 I imagine I will do a mix of the two.

Can someone link me to the Waiting for PC Support Group Thread?
That's the spirit.
Artorias is a weird fight for me - I seem to either fight him perfectly or completely screw it up, nothing in between. The key is a high poise break weapon to stop him going Super Saiyan.

do it bru. I always solo bosses and then help others do them afterwards. Pikachu and Snorlax were the highlight for me. Managed to beat them on my 2nd attempt, then got summed about 6 times afterwards to help others

No surprise, since there's not much to discuss about Titanfall. If the previous Dark Souls OT is any indication we'll plough through 3 OT's in a week's time.

I never stopped his "Super Saiyan" mode. If you know his move set, the fight is quite trivial. I think my biggest issue on my second playthrough was my timing, I rolled too soon and also got a bit unlucky with the amount of times he accumulated his buff.
But when you fight Artorias perfectly, rolling all his attacks, poking where there are gaps. It's such a beautiful fight. It's like a ballet of two very skilled warriors, by far the most enjoyable fight of the game for me.
Stopping him powering up was important to me on SL1 runs. It gave me 3 free hits anyway, plus allowed me to take at least 1 hit on the shield if I screwed something up. Super Saiyan Artorias gives no fuck to shields.
But yeah, great fight - super tense but fair. Really hope DS2 has done away with the Bed of Bullshit/Dragon God style bosses in favour of more Artorias type fights.
I'm almost certain it will.

It worked on the Beta, so all signs point to yes.
